Regarding the Azure Water Sword Sect and Shen Bai's matter, Chu Xiu thought that no one else noticed. But the truth was as such. After that incident, the Azure Water Sword Sect was never safe and sound. Why did it seem like everyone knew about this matter now?
After Chu Xiu asked Fang Qi Shao, he finally understood what was going on. This made Chu Xiu have the urge to curse.
At the start, no one noticed the secret of the Azure Water Sword Sect's back mountain and no one paid attention to it. In fact, the one who leaked this secret was the Azure Water Sword Sect itself.
After Shen Bai's death, the Azure Water Sword Sect was like a group of dragons without a leader. They didn't even have a Sect Master. The older generation of disciples were all dead, and the elite disciples of the middle generation followed Dou Guangchen and died in the hands of Chu Xiu. Hence, the Azure Water Sword Sect was only left with some of the weaker disciples.
Even though the Azure Water Sword Sect was removed from the seven sects and eight factions, but in the eyes of some people, it still had some value. For example, the Azure Water Sword Sect's mountain was actually not bad and was a treasured land.
Hence, there were some forces from the Wei County and even the Northern Yan and Eastern Qi regions that invaded the Azure Water Sword Sect in hopes of seizing the Azure Water Sword Sect.
The remaining Azure Water Sword Sect disciples panicked. Facing the hungry wolves, they started to threaten them. No one knew who said it, but the Azure Water Sword Sect still had a trump card. It was their back mountain ancestral ground. As long as they walked out of it, they would definitely achieve great success. Shen Bai was an example. If they were provoked, they would let the ancestors who were in seclusion in the ancestral ground to kill them all.
This news was initially used to scare people. It was half true and half false, but it did scare off a lot of people.
These disciples didn't know the true secret of the Azure Water Sword Sect, but they were still members of the Azure Water Sword Sect and had heard of some legends. Moreover, Shen Bai's seclusion couldn't be hidden from others.
However, when this news completely spread to the ears of some people, they felt that something was wrong.
If the Azure Water Sword Sect really had such an ancestral ground, why didn't anyone cultivate Shen Bai's sword skills? Previously, they all thought that it was Shen Bai's fated encounter alone, but from the looks of it now, could it be that the fated encounter was still within the Azure Water Sword Sect?
The words of these Azure Water Sword Sect disciples might be half true and half false, but through the clues in their words, they were able to deduce something. The Azure Water Sword Sect was probably hiding some good stuff!
That was why the various sects, especially the sword sects, had sent people to investigate. Regardless of whether it was true or not, at the very least, there had to be some results. That was how the scene he was seeing now had come to an end.
After understanding all of this, Chu Xiu was also rather depressed. He was still too late. If he had acted earlier, the secret of the Azure Water Sword Sect would have been monopolized by him.
In fact, from the start, Chu Xiu had already sensed that something was wrong with Shen Bai and the Azure Water Sword Sect. It was just that he had sent people to scout for information, and the Azure Water Sword Sect didn't attract the attention of other martial artists. In addition, Xiang Long from the Northern Yan side was pressuring him. That was why he was prepared to settle things with the Northern Yan side before coming to Wei County. He didn't expect the news to be leaked.
Fang Qi Shao who was at the side saw that Chu Xiu's expression wasn't looking good. He decisively didn't say anything else and just drank his wine.
In the past, with his strength, he could still exchange a few moves with Chu Xiu, but now he really couldn't beat him. It was better not to talk too much, or else he might get beaten up.
But he didn't say anything. Chu Xiu instead asked, "Then what is the situation now? Has anyone found the Azure Water Sword Sect's so-called treasure?"
Fang Qi Shao shook his head and said, "If one faction came, then they would definitely find it. But now that so many factions have come, you have also seen it. Everyone wants to monopolize it, but the result is a stalemate here. In the beginning, only the Forgetting Sword Hut and Storm Sword Tomb came first, but the longer they dragged it out, the more people came. Let's see, if this drags on, who knows how many more people will come. "
In fact, when they saw Chu Xiu coming, the factions already felt that they couldn't drag it out any longer.
If this dragged on, there really wouldn't be enough.
But everyone was still thinking, what should they do in this situation?
Just as they were pondering, there were quite a number of people who also followed up the mountain. They were all Eastern Qi, Northern Yan, and other nearby factions. Among them, there were also people from the Shangyang Mo Clan.
Seeing Chu Xiu, Mo Tianlin came over with some guilt and said, "Brother Chu, last time I wasn't able to persuade the Patriarch to help, I am sorry."
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Brother Mo doesn't need to take it to heart. You already helped me a lot by not letting the Mo Clan hit me when I was down. People in the pugilistic world can't help themselves. I understand. "
As he spoke, Chu Xiu pointed to Fang Qi Shao, who was still gnawing on the roast chicken, and said, "Look at him, he doesn't have any sense of guilt. In this life, you don't have to let anyone down, as long as you don't let yourself down, that is enough."
Fang Qi Shao wiped the oily corners of his mouth and raised his head in a daze. Why was he involved again?
"Brother Mo, do you want to have a bite? Tong Zhou Prefecture's honey roast chicken, the taste is very good. "Fang Qi Shao offered his half-eaten roast chicken forward.
Mo Tianlin took a step back, shook his head decisively, and said, "No need, Brother Fang, you can enjoy it yourself."
In fact, among these people, only the seemingly indifferent Chu Xiu and the seemingly unruly Fang Qi Shao understood what was going on.
During the battle, Fang Qi Shao understood that he was friends with Chu Xiu, so he did his best to help Chu Xiu. Even if he didn't do his best, he had a clear conscience and was extremely benevolent. At the very least, he didn't let down his own conscience.
After all, he was a disciple of Swordking City and had been nurtured by Swordking City. He couldn't risk his life for Chu Xiu or even betray the sect.
Fang Qi Shao had done everything he could, and that was enough. So when he saw Chu Xiu again, he felt very natural.
Although Swordking City didn't have a good relationship with Chu Xiu, it didn't prevent Fang Qi Shao from continuing to treat Chu Xiu as a friend.
Chu Xiu looked at Mo Tianlin and said, "Didn't your Mo family send a Martial Dao Grandmaster this time?"
Mo Tianlin shook his head and said, "My Mo family isn't strong, and the only Martial Dao Grandmaster is the family's Old Ancestor. He won't participate in this kind of occasion.
So, my Mo family only sent a few Oneness of Heaven and Man cultivators. They're mainly here to watch the show.
I just broke through, so I wanted to come out to relax and consolidate my cultivation. "
Chu Xiu had already noticed that Mo Tianlin had also stepped into the Oneness of Heaven and Man Realm.
It might not be easy for Mo Tianlin to step into the Oneness of Heaven and Man Realm at his age, but in front of Chu Xiu and Fang Qi Shao, he really couldn't be proud.
"Are the members of the five major sword sects here?" Chu Xiu looked at Fang Qi Shao and asked.
Fang Qi Shao wiped his mouth and said, "More or less. After all, the sword skill that Shen Bai displayed back then was indeed extraordinary. If that inheritance is truly in the Azure Water Sword Sect, it is still worth a trip. Therefore, Storm Sword Tomb, Forgetful Sword Hut, and Concealed Sword Villa each sent a Grandmaster. I just happen to be nearby, so the sect sent me here. "
What Fang Qi Shao meant was that he might be at the Oneness of Heaven and Man Realm, but he was comparable to a Martial Dao Grandmaster.
Of course, when Fang Qi Shao said this, he was just narrating and not showing off.
To Fang Qi Shao, he might show off his wit, his handsomeness, but he wouldn't show off his strength. What he said earlier was just a fact.
"The members of the Yue Nu Palace didn't come?" Chu Xiu was astonished.
Fang Qi Shao shook his head and said, "Who knows? The Yue Nu Palace has been declining for the past few years. That woman, Lin Fengya, has a stubborn personality. The other five major sword sects don't wish to have any dealings with her. Seeing that she is a woman, we don't wish to lower ourselves to her level. Yan Feiyan isn't bad. That woman isn't easy to deal with either. She might be beautiful, but her strength is lacking. I reckon she won't come. "
Although Yan Feiyan was also ranked in the top ten of the Longhu Leaderboard and had also reached the Oneness of Heaven and Man Realm, her strength was clearly still lacking compared to an existence at Fang Qi Shao's level. On the other hand, Fang Qi Shao and Zong Xuan already had the strength to fight a Martial Dao Grandmaster head-on.
At this moment, Fang Qi Shao suddenly thought of something. He suddenly said, "But I heard a rumor from the other disciples of Swordking City. They said that Brother Lu Fengxian is together with that woman, Yan Feiyan. "
Chu Xiu was stunned, then he shook his head and said, "Impossible. With the Yue Nu Palace's rules, Yan Feiyan won't be with anyone. Back then, Ying Bailu pursued Yan Feiyan, but she didn't agree. How could she be with Brother Lu now? Do you think she's a woman who can put aside her reason for love? "
Chu Xiu didn't say this because he doubted Lu Fengxian's strength and charm. He just didn't believe that Yan Feiyan would be with a man, even if that man was a young talent like Lu Fengxian, who had a limitless future.
In Yan Feiyan's heart, the most important thing would always be the sect. Back then, Ying Bailu had pursued her for a long time and was extremely infatuated with her. In the end, Yan Feiyan still cruelly rejected him. From this point, one could see Yan Feiyan's thoughts and character.
But now, Fang Qi Shao said that Lu Fengxian was with Yan Feiyan. This was a bit ridiculous.
Although in Chu Xiu's opinion, Lu Fengxian's future achievements might even surpass Ying Bailu's, in the eyes of others, the current Ying Bailu was undoubtedly far more outstanding than Lu Fengxian.
Fang Qi Shao chuckled and said, "Who can say for sure about something like love?"
Chu Xiu glanced at him and said, "What do you know about love? Besides coming into contact with women in brothels, when have you ever touched a woman? "
Fang Qi Shao wanted to refute, but he was really speechless by Chu Xiu's words.
In all fairness, although Fang Qi Shao wasn't considered handsome, he wasn't ugly either. In addition, he was the successor of Swordking City and a top swordsman of the younger generation. He should be very popular with women. However, his mouth was really too damaging to his image. Basically, no woman was willing to chat with him. They would be angered to death.
Mo Tianlin sighed and said, "I ask the world what love is …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Chu Xiu said indifferently, "I'm more familiar with this poem than you are. Also, didn't you get dumped by a woman? Do you understand what is called emotion and what is love? "
Mo Tianlin was also speechless by Chu Xiu's words. However, he suddenly saw something. He suddenly pointed down the mountain and said in surprise, "Brother Chu, look!"
