The birthday celebration of the old ancestor of the Northern Driftsnow City was considered a major event in the Northern Yan Pugilist World, but it wasn't considered a major event.
It was considered a major event because of the identity of the Northern Driftsnow City. Not to mention the Northern Wilderness, even in the entire Northern Yan Pugilist World, the Northern Driftsnow City was considered a first-class major force.
And it wasn't considered a major event because the birthday celebration of the old ancestor of the Northern Driftsnow City was a little too frequent.
A Martial Dao Grandmaster had a lifespan of 300 years, and a True Fire Spirit Refinement Realm expert had a lifespan of 400 years. Although this was only in theory, most of them could live up to 200 or 300 years.
With such a long lifespan, how could it be possible for them to celebrate their birthday so frequently?
Therefore, they would only invite their friends to celebrate their 100th, 200th, or 188th birthday.
But the old ancestor of the Northern Driftsnow City was different. Not long after he started his secluded cultivation, he began to celebrate his birthday every ten years, causing some of the major forces in the Northern Wilderness to suffer greatly.
Since it was a birthday celebration, they had to send some gifts no matter what. If they didn't bring enough gifts, not only would they be embarrassed, they were also afraid that the Northern Driftsnow City would bear a grudge against them.
So in the beginning, they tried every possible means to find gifts for the old ancestor of the Northern Driftsnow City, but later on, they discovered that they couldn't afford to send any gifts, so they could only reduce the value of the gifts. Moreover, the Northern Driftsnow City didn't say anything about it. Only then did everyone feel relieved and began to participate in the birthday celebration.
And they also discovered that the birthday celebration of the old ancestor of the Northern Driftsnow City didn't seem to be for the sake of making money, but just to show off the status of the Northern Driftsnow City.
So for the Northern Driftsnow City's actions, although the other sects were puzzled, no one dared to say anything. After all, the strength and status of the Northern Driftsnow City was clearly displayed, as long as they were happy.
When Chu Xiu's group arrived outside the Northern Driftsnow City, the originally deserted Northern Driftsnow City was now incomparably lively, with many cultivators coming and going.
Mei Qinglian and Pang Hu might not be acquainted with each other, but in the entire Northern Yan region, there weren't many who didn't know who Chu Xiu was.
Seeing Chu Xiu's group of three arrive, everyone present, whether it was from the Far North's Drifting Snow City or the other cultivators who came to attend the birthday celebration, all revealed strange expressions.
The Driftsnow City of the Extreme North had a grudge with Chu Xiu, this was something many people knew. But now, Chu Xiu actually appeared here openly. No matter how one looked at it, it was clear that he came with ill intentions.
Moreover, Chu Xiu's notoriety in the Northern Yan Kingdom was very great. He often chose to kill people on their joyous days, as if he wanted them to experience the emotions of great joy and great sorrow. He was extremely ruthless.
Now, he also chose such a day to come to the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North. Could it be that he also had some opinions about the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North?
However, although everyone didn't have a good impression of Chu Xiu, but with Chu Xiu's status and the status of the Zhenwu Hall, there were many Patriarchs and Sect Masters of small forces who greeted Chu Xiu politely.
At this time, the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North also received the news that Chu Xiu would come in person on such a day. Of course, they couldn't drive Chu Xiu out, so they had to come to welcome him, and they also sent people of high status.
"Official Chu, how come you have time to come to my Driftsnow City of the Extreme North? I hope you don't take offense for not going out to welcome you. "
A middle-aged man in his forties with a slender figure walked out, with a fake smile on his face, and made an inviting gesture to Chu Xiu.
Regarding the information of the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, Chu Xiu had also learned about it. This person was also a direct descendant of the Bai family of the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, Bai Hanfeng. He also had the strength of a martial arts master.
The martial arts masters of the older generation of the Bai family were almost all dead. They were all people of the same generation as the Old Ancestor of the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North, and some were even his juniors. In the end, they didn't survive the Old Ancestor and died first.
And this generation of the Bai family was obviously not as talented as the previous generation. There were only a few who were qualified to step into the realm of martial arts master. Bai Hantian was the first to step into the realm of martial arts master and became the City Lord. Bai Hanfeng didn't appear in the Jianghu after stepping into the realm of martial arts master, but he had been serving the Old Ancestor of the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North.
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "I heard that the birthday of the Bai family's Old Ancestor of the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North is such a joyous day. Even if the Driftsnow City of the Extreme North didn't invite me, I still have to come."
Bai Hanfeng's mouth twitched, and he coughed and said, "Official Chu, you misunderstood. Everyone knows that Official Chu, you established the Zhenwu Hall and are very busy every day. Our Bai family is a little sorry to trouble you for such a small matter, so we didn't invite you."
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Even if you didn't invite me, I still came. By the way, bring the congratulatory gift."
Mei Qinglian looked at Chu Xiu with a look that said, "Are you kidding me? What congratulatory gift did they prepare?"
Chu Xiu patted his head and said, "I forgot, the congratulatory gift is here with me."
As he spoke, Chu Xiu took out a bottle of medicinal pills and threw it to Bai Hanfeng. He said, "The Zhenwu Hall's secret medicinal pill, the Green Dragon Yimu Wood Heaven Returning Life Transformation Pill. The Bai family's Old Ancestor is so old, it's inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises. My gift of medicinal pills is sincere, right?"
Bai Hanfeng's face suddenly turned black. There were people who gave gifts of medicinal pills, but they all gave medicinal pills for cultivation. What was the meaning of giving a healing pill?
Moreover, how was this medicinal pill the Green Dragon Yimu Wood Heaven Returning Life Transformation Pill? It was clearly a Third Revolution medicinal pill, the Blood Recovery Pill. There were three big words written on the bottle. Did you think I was blind?
Bai Hanfeng was so angry that he trembled. However, on such a day, he couldn't fall out with Chu Xiu. So he could only say with a black face, "Official Chu, please come in!"
Chu Xiu laughed twice, but he didn't continue to provoke him. Instead, he led his people into the city.
The exterior of the Northern Floating Snow City seemed to be paved with ice bricks, but the interior was extremely luxurious. All the buildings were carved beams and painted pillars, and the decorations were gilded. It was comparable to the imperial palace.
The Northern Floating Snow City had flourished for thousands of years in the north. Naturally, it had its own heritage. Before the Northern Yan City, the Northern Floating Snow City stood tall in the Northern Wilderness. After so many generations of development, it was normal that it was more luxurious than the imperial palace.
Chu Xiu and the others were strolling around, while Bai Hanfeng had already gone to find Bai Hantian with a black face.
"City Lord, Chu Xiu came with ill intentions. He is clearly here to provoke us!"
Bai Hantian said indifferently, "It's true that he is here to provoke us. But don't worry, he won't make a move here. If he really wanted to make a move on the Northern Floating Snow City, he wouldn't have brought so few people with him. Our Northern Floating Snow City is not the Giant Spirit Gang. No matter how bold Chu Xiu is, he wouldn't be this bold. Go and greet the guests first. I'll go meet him and see what he's up to. "
As he spoke, Bai Hantian walked out and headed straight for Chu Xiu.
When the martial artists along the way saw Bai Hantian's aggressive appearance, they subconsciously made way for him, as if they were watching a show.
Walking in front of Chu Xiu, Bai Hantian looked around and said in a deep voice, "Official Chu, let's talk in private. You don't want to be treated like a monkey in public, right?"
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "City Lord Bai, please lead the way."
Bai Hantian didn't say anything. He brought Chu Xiu to a reception room and closed the door. He said coldly, "Chu Xiu, what are you trying to do by coming to my Northern Floating Snow City?
Don't treat my Northern Floating Snow City like the Giant Spirit Gang. This is not a place where you can behave atrociously!
My Northern Floating Snow City doesn't care about what you've done in the Northern Yan. But the condition is that you don't provoke my Northern Floating Snow City! "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "City Lord Bai, don't be so agitated. No matter what, you and I are people who have fought side by side, aren't we?"
Bai Hantian snorted coldly. He knew that Chu Xiu was referring to the battle with the morgue. He had gone back on his word and schemed against Chu Xiu and Nie Renlong to kill each other.
However, Bai Hantian didn't think that he had done anything wrong. If it weren't for Chu Xiu's luck, Nie Renlong and Chu Xiu would have perished together.
Sitting opposite Bai Hantian, Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "I won't keep you in suspense, City Lord Bai. I'm not here to cause trouble for your Northern Floating Snow City. I'm here on His Imperial Majesty's orders to discuss something with you."
Hearing that this matter involved the Northern Yan Imperial Court, Bai Hantian couldn't help but frown. "What is it?"
"It's very simple. His Imperial Majesty is preparing to station troops in the Northern Yan. When the time comes, I hope that City Lord Bai will cooperate." Chu Xiu said slowly.
Bai Hantian immediately stood up and shouted angrily, "Impossible! What is the imperial court trying to do? Are they trying to suppress my Northern Floating Snow City? "
In the entire Northern Wastelands, the Great Light Temple and the Evil Pole Sect were located in the deepest part of the Northern Wastelands. It was a desolate and cold land with a radius of hundreds of miles.
Only the Northern Floating Snow City's territory was considered close to the Northern Yan's Liaodong County.
If the Northern Yan were to station troops in the Northern Wastelands, it would be like putting a layer of shackles on the Northern Floating Snow City. It wouldn't feel good.
Seeing Bai Hantian's expression, Chu Xiu didn't find it strange at all. It would be strange if Bai Hantian agreed to such a sensitive matter.
Chu Xiu simply said, "City Lord Bai, you're thinking too much. To put it bluntly, your Northern Floating Snow City isn't weak, but it's not to the point where the Northern Yan Imperial Court would go out of their way to suppress it. The one the imperial court wants to suppress is the one behind your Northern Floating Snow City. "
"The Great Light Temple?" Bai Hantian frowned.
"Yes, the Great Light Temple. However, the Great Light Temple is located in the Northern Wastelands. The Northern Yan Imperial Court can't bypass your Northern Floating Snow City and station troops there. Therefore, they can only find a place near your Northern Floating Snow City. I advise you to agree to this matter because His Majesty only sent me here to discuss this with you. If you don't agree, forget about the Suppression Hall, can you withstand the pressure from the entire Northern Yan Imperial Court? "
Bai Hantian's eyes were gloomy as he looked at Chu Xiu and said, "Are you threatening me?!"
Chu Xiu said lightly, "It's not a threat, it's just a fact. I have an agreement with the Great Light Temple that I won't make a move for the time being. However, the Suppression Hall belongs to the imperial court after all. If His Majesty wants me to make a move, I can't refuse. Therefore, City Lord Bai, I'm not threatening you. I just hope that you won't force me to make a move!"
