At the mention of the Yue Nu Palace, Lu Jiang He's tone was filled with disdain.
Five hundred years ago, not to mention the entire Kunlun Devil Cult, even his Blood Demon Hall could look down on the majority of sects in the pugilistic world. He naturally did not care about the Yue Nu Palace.
Clearly, the Yue Nu Palace's strength was not very strong 500 years ago.
Moreover, according to Lu Jiang He's description, Chu Xiu more or less understood what was going on with the Yue Nu Palace's Heavenly Sword.
The Nine-tailed Demon Fox was also known as the Heavenly Fox in ancient times. It was an extremely powerful fierce beast.
Of course, this was only powerful for others. For the Kunlun Devil Cult, this thing was only an ornamental pet.
In the past, the Red Lotus Demon Venerable was able to forcibly kill and seal it. For the Kunlun Devil Cult, this thing did not have much significance other than being an ornamental pet.
After all, it was an ancient fierce beast. In this era, fierce beasts were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
Later on, when the Kunlun Devil Cult was destroyed, many sects also divided up many of the Kunlun Devil Cult's treasures. The Yue Nu Palace obtained the sword that sealed the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox.
According to Lu Jiang He, for the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox's remnant soul to be useful, it must be fed something at regular intervals. Just like the Bloodsoul Pearl that sealed Lu Jiang He.
However, Lu Jiang He's Bloodsoul Pearl was not picky. Any qi and blood would do. Of course, the stronger the qi and blood, the better the effect.
As for the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, what it devoured was very rare. It was the martial artist's essence, qi, and spirit.
The younger the martial artist with the greatest potential, the more vigorous their essence, qi, and spirit. Moreover, the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox only devoured the essence, qi, and spirit of young martial artists. It did not care for older martial artists.
Therefore, the disciples chosen to participate in the Heavenly Sword Baptism had to be below 40 years old.
A martial artist's essence was only enough for the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox to last for 100 years. The first 30 years were the most powerful and could make it help the Yue Nu Palace.
In the later stages, its strength would gradually weaken. After a hundred years, if it still did not devour the essence, energy, and spirit of young martial artists, it would end up like Lu Jiang He, falling into a deep slumber.
In the past, when the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox was in the Kunlun Devil Cult, there would often be some young disciples of the righteous sects who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. They would vainly try to eliminate demons and defend the righteous path, but the result was naturally very miserable.
At that time, these fellows would be the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox's snacks. She wouldn't even need to feed them once every hundred years. Sometimes, it would even be possible to feed them several times a year.
"What are the consequences of having your essence, qi, and spirit devoured?" Chu Xiu asked with a frown.
Lu Jiang He chuckled and said, "I won't die, but I won't have a good ending either. In the lightest case, I'll have my cultivation crippled temporarily. Even if I manage to cultivate it back, I'll lose all my potential and won't be able to make any progress for the rest of my life.
In more serious cases, they might even lose a portion of their lifespan and age prematurely.
If you don't believe me, you can ask that little girl. All the disciples of the Yue Nu Palace who had participated in the Heavenly Sword Baptism had secretly comprehended some sword intent. In reality, how many of them could appear in front of the people of the Jianghu again?
Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. Your friend is going to be out of luck this time.
Those women of the Yue Nu Palace pretend to be pure all day long. In the past, they had even offered themselves to our Holy Sect's bed.
Otherwise, that Heavenly Sword that sealed the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox was merely a plaything of our Holy Sect. How could they know how to use it?
Who knows, it might have been leaked out by some lustful fellow. "
After hearing Lu Jiang He's words, Chu Xiu's expression turned slightly gloomy.
In the past, he had already guessed that Yan Feiyan had other motives for getting close to Lu Fengxian. He didn't expect this woman to be so scheming.
Luo Fei-hung saw that Chu Xiu didn't say anything for a long time. She was just about to ask something when Chu Xiu said, "Did the Yue Nu Palace invite you?"
Luo Fei-hung shook her head and said, "I'm not the Luo Family's Young Miss right now. Why would they invite me?
Every time the Yue Nu Palace holds the Sword Welcoming Assembly, it's actually a show of force to tell other forces that our Yue Nu Palace has strength again. Be careful.
So every time the Yue Nu Palace invites the big sects of the pugilistic world, the famous figures of the pugilistic world to attend the ceremony. Why would they invite a small character like me? "
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Alright then, let's go to the Yue Nu Palace together."
Luo Fei-hung had a strange look on her face. "They didn't invite you. What are you going for?"
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Who said that I can't go without an invitation? Doesn't the Yue Nu Palace want a big scene? Don't they want to invite the famous figures of the pugilistic world to give them face? I wonder if my, Chu Xiu's, face is big enough! "
Luo Fei-hung could tell that something was wrong with Chu Xiu's tone.
But she didn't say much. She was also the kind of person who loved to join in on the fun. Now that there was fun to freeload, she couldn't ask for more.
Although the Yue Nu Palace's strength had always been mediocre, they were still a big sect that had been passed down for thousands of years. They still had a foundation.
So when the Yue Nu Palace held the Sword Welcoming Assembly, more than half of the sects that posted the invitation came.
Of course, they came. But the Yue Nu Palace's face wasn't big enough for those big sects to send their Patriarchs and Sect Masters. So most of the sects and aristocratic families only sent a random person to support the Yue Nu Palace.
The Yue Nu Palace wasn't too far from the Wu County's Luo Family. It was just between the Wu County and Jiangdong County, adjacent to the longest river in Eastern Qi, Du River.
By the time Chu Xiu and Luo Fei-hung arrived at the entrance of the Yue Nu Palace, it was already quite lively. Many female disciples of the Yue Nu Palace were dressed in plain white clothes, receiving the guests politely and reservedly.
It had to be said that the Yue Nu Palace wasn't easy.
The pugilistic world had always been dominated by men. If a woman wanted to stand out in the pugilistic world, the difficulty she had to pay was much greater than that of a man.
So with so many sects in the pugilistic world, very few of them were all female disciples. The Yue Nu Palace was one of them. It wasn't easy for them to develop to the level of one of the five major sword sects.
Of course, this was useless to Chu Xiu.
Even if it wasn't easy for you, what does it have to do with me? The Yue Nu Palace had to be prepared to pay the price for scheming against his, Chu Xiu's, good friend.
Step by step, they walked up the stairs of the Yue Nu Palace. It had to be said that the sects controlled by women had different aesthetic standards.
Chu Xiu could be considered a knowledgeable person. He had seen many of the buildings of the major sects. Actually, most of them were big, black, and crude. They pursued grandeur and practicality.
Moon Worshipping Sect, on the other hand, had a picturesque appearance. That was because of its good geographical location.
The Yue Nu Palace was really willing to spend a lot of money. They actually used snow mountain rocks from the extreme north to build the entire palace.
This thing didn't have much use. It wasn't sturdy and couldn't be used as a medium for formations. The only good thing was that it was snow-white and looked very good.
The snow-white and dazzling palace coupled with the Yue Nu Palace disciples dressed in white robes and wielding swords made it look like a paradise in the human world.
However, when the Yue Nu Palace disciples in charge of welcoming the guests saw Chu Xiu and Luo Fei-hung walk up, their expressions couldn't help but change.
Perhaps some of them recognized this Luo Clan's young miss, and some didn't.
However, the righteous and demonic wars had just ended. Who wouldn't recognize him, Chu Xiu?
At this moment, Chu Xiu's black robe was fluttering in the wind. At his waist was the Heavenly Demon Dance with a sinister aura. His entire person was emitting a gloomy and evil aura. It was in conflict with the Yue Nu Palace's snow-white and clean aura.
Moreover, Chu Xiu didn't have the slightest expression on his face. He even had the posture of suddenly drawing his sword and chopping people. Who would dare to let Chu Xiu in at this time?
Moreover, although the Yue Nu Palace didn't participate in the righteous and demonic wars, the Yue Nu Palace was a genuine righteous sect.
The Yue Nu Palace didn't participate this time because of their strength. It couldn't be said that they changed their stance.
Chu Xiu was a genuine demonic overlord. He was the face of the Yinmo lineage. What was the meaning of letting him in?
However, before they could speak, Chu Xiu directly said: "Northern Yan Zhen Wu Hall Governor Chu Xiu has come to pay a visit to the Yue Nu Palace's Palace Master Lin. I congratulate the Yue Nu Palace for holding the Sword Welcoming Assembly."
Hearing that Chu Xiu put his identity as the Northern Yan Zhen Wu Hall Governor, the Yue Nu Palace disciples didn't know what to say.
Was the imperial court considered demonic? Sometimes, food could be eaten indiscriminately, but words couldn't be said indiscriminately.
The Yue Nu Palace disciple in charge of welcoming the guests could only say awkwardly: "Official Chu, please forgive us. This time, our Yue Nu Palace didn't invite you to participate in the Sword Welcoming Assembly."
At this moment, the martial artists who were heading to the Yue Nu Palace to participate in the Sword Welcoming Assembly also noticed this scene. They immediately gathered around and whispered. They weren't in a hurry to enter the Yue Nu Palace.
Who didn't know of Chu Xiu's current reputation? He had a feeling that he came to the Yue Nu Palace with ill intentions.
However, the Righteous and Demonic Dao war had just ended. Whether it was the Righteous or Demonic Dao, they were in a temporary truce to recuperate. Looking at Chu Xiu's intentions, did he still want to cause trouble for the Yue Nu Palace at this time? However, they didn't hear that Chu Xiu had any grudges with the Yue Nu Palace.
Chu Xiu said matter-of-factly: "I know you didn't invite me. It doesn't matter, I don't mind. I'm a magnanimous person and won't bother with women."
Chu Xiu rummaged through his spatial secret box and didn't seem to find anything suitable as a congratulatory gift. Therefore, he took out two bottles of Blood Recovery Pills and threw them to the Yue Nu Palace disciple. He waved his hand generously and said: "This is the specialty of my Northern Yan Zhen Wu Hall. Take it, no need to be polite. Other people don't bring congratulatory gifts. I'm a particular person. When I come to other sects as a guest, I have to bring something, right? "
The Yue Nu Palace disciple held the two bottles of Blood Recovery Pills with a dumbfounded expression.
She really didn't know what to do at this time.
Although women weren't the mainstream in the pugilistic world, they had some privileges. Therefore, no one would make things difficult for the Yue Nu Palace disciples. No one could bear to make things difficult for these delicate female disciples.
This was the first time she encountered such a thing.
At this time, Chu Xiu's expression suddenly turned gloomy: "What? I've already reported my name and given the congratulatory gift. You still won't let me in? Your Yue Nu Palace is looking down on me, Chu Xiu?"
