The meat of the Green Sky Falcon was very fragrant and delicious. It was definitely a delicacy in the world.
Moreover, this kind of thing could only be found by chance. After all, ordinary people would not be as extravagant as Chu Xiu, who actually used a ferocious beast as a dish. This made the group of Sect Masters and Family Heads eat heartily. At the same time, they secretly thought that Chu Xiu was wasting natural resources.
Chu Xiu sat in the main seat and watched quietly as everyone finished eating. Then, he asked, "Everyone, how is the taste?"
Sun Changli was the first to stand up. He sighed and said, "It is indeed the meat of the ancient ferocious beast, the Green Sky Falcon. It's delicious beyond description. It is even more delicious than what is described in the ancient books. This time, we are all thanks to Official Chu. Otherwise, I'm afraid we would not be able to eat such a precious treasure in this life. "
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Everyone, I still remember when the Zhenwu Hall was just established. I'm afraid everyone thought that I, Chu Xiu, was the kind of devil who killed innocent people. Everyone was very resistant."
Although they had eaten Chu Xiu's food, when they heard this, everyone curled their lips at the same time.
You, Chu Xiu, are still a demon who willfully slaughters the innocent. Moreover, they are still very resistant to it.
However, the result of resistance was the destruction of their families. Therefore, they had no choice but to give in.
Chu Xiu did not seem to see the helpless expression of the people present. He continued, "Actually, I am a very reasonable person. The biggest advantage of me, Chu Xiu, is that I will never mistreat my own people. In fact, is the so-called distinction between righteous and demonic in Jianghu really so serious? Everyone, you can speak with your conscience. In the end, is your own interests more important, or the so-called distinction between righteous and demonic? "
Glancing at everyone present, Chu Xiu snickered and said, "From what I see, everyone has chosen the latter. If someone had chosen the former, then probably none of you would have appeared here. Instead, you would be lying in ambush outside Yan Jing City, wanting to assassinate a demon like me at any time to rid the world of evil."
Everyone present laughed a few times. No one spoke. In fact, this was indeed the case.
Those who had enmity with the demonic path were the righteous sects.
What was a righteous sect? At the very least, you have to become a reputable family first before you can be called a righteous faction.
Small sects and aristocratic families like them, who mingled in the Jianghu, had always been fence-sitters. They actually didn't care much about the so-called Righteous and Evil Paths.
Chu Xiu slammed the table fiercely, scaring everyone.
In a very formal tone, he said, "After saying so much, I can only summarize it in one sentence. If you follow me, Chu Xiu, it can't be said that you will eat and drink well every day, but at least there will be benefits. I will not forget you all. Now, there is a good thing waiting for you all."
When everyone present heard Chu Xiu's words, their hearts tightened.
They wouldn't be so naive to think that Chu Xiu really meant what he said.
Sun Changli asked cautiously, "May I ask what the good thing Official Chu is talking about is?"
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Everyone knows who I am. I once found many ancient books about the Kunlun Devil Cult in the Hidden Devil Clan, and they recorded some very interesting things.
"In the past, some of the halls of the Kunlun Devil Cult placed their treasures in the entire Jianghu. Coincidentally, there are two places near the Temple of Great Light.
"However, everyone knows that the monks of the Temple of Great Light are rather nosy. If I were to recklessly dig for treasures, I'm afraid I'll come into conflict with those monks, so I'll have to rely on you all.
"When the time comes, everyone can temporarily move your families to somewhere near the Temple of Great Light and start digging for treasures openly. I'll give you a rough location. As long as you dig out the ruins, you can split 70% among yourselves. I only want 30%."
Hearing this, the crowd instantly went into an uproar, and they immediately started discussing it animatedly. However, not a single person dared to agree because this matter was truly too crazy.
Everyone knew that the wilderness in the far north was the territory of the Temple of Great Light, but now Chu Xiu wanted them to move there. This was practically challenging the authority of the Temple of Great Light.
More importantly, they wanted to dig for treasures around the Temple of Great Light. This was practically infuriating the Temple of Great Light.
Even if it were them, they wouldn't be able to accept a group of strangers digging around in front of their homes, much less the Temple of Great Light.
Therefore, everyone present immediately said, "Official Chu, it's not that we don't want to help, but in this matter, we really can't do anything."
"Yeah, that's the Temple of Great Light. How would we dare to do this?"
"Also, moving an entire family is a big project. Even if it's temporary, it'll still consume a lot of things."
Everyone present spoke one after another. Almost all of them were against it. Not a single person was in favor of it.
Chu Xiu looked at everyone silently and did not say a word.
The originally noisy hall became strangely silent. Sensing that the atmosphere wasn't right, everyone present immediately went silent and did not dare to say anything else.
When the hall was completely silent, Chu Xiu then said coldly, "Was the Green Sky Falcon's meat delicious?"
Chu Xiu's words were very light, but the coldness instantly penetrated their hearts, causing them to tremble violently and almost spit out the Green Sky Falcon's meat.
Only now did they understand what Chu Xiu meant by killing the Green Sky Falcon without saying anything.
You said that the Green Sky Falcon's meat was delicious, so I treated you to a meal from a ferocious beast. It was generous enough and generous enough.
Now that I have something to ask of you, you're making excuses. This is against the rules. Chu Xiu was furious because the consequences would be severe.
Chu Xiu had even killed the ferocious beast guarding the door. If they still refused, there was no need to say what would await them.
None of the Patriarchs and Sect Masters present were fools. They had already guessed Chu Xiu's intentions.
Therefore, they wanted to cry but had no tears.
If they knew this would happen, they would not have eaten that plate of meat!
Looking at everyone present, Chu Xiu knocked on the table and said calmly, "Everyone, I know what you're worried about. You're just worried about the Temple of Great Light.
However, you must also remember that the law does not punish the masses.
So what if you've angered the Temple of Great Light? Can the Temple of Great Light kill all of you? The Temple of Great Light won't even suppress you in the dark because you have too many people. "
Everyone present thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense.
Although there were times when the Temple of Great Light killed people because of personal grudges, such cases were rare.
The clans and sects, big and small, added up to dozens of forces. They were not worried that the Temple of Great Light would kill them all. Otherwise, the other party would not be the Temple of Great Light but the Kunlun Devil Cult.
However, even if their lives were not in danger, being hated by the Temple of Great Light was not something to be proud of. Therefore, everyone present wanted to evade.
However, at this moment, Chu Xiu said in a low voice, "Everyone, please think carefully before you speak. The monks of the Temple of Great Light are kind and can't bear to kill the innocent, but I, Chu Xiu, have never been a generous person. He ate my food and drank my wine, but in the end, he doesn't do anything for me. What's the use of such a person? "
Everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. Only then did they remember that Chu Xiu seemed to have said the same thing to the Green Sky Falcon at the door.
He had said it to the Green Sky Falcon, but it was also said to them!
The scene was silent. No one resisted, and no one agreed. It was a stalemate.
At this moment, a middle-aged warrior with a moustache stood up and said with a smile, "Since Official Chu has said so, if I refuse, it would be disrespectful to Official Chu. "The Feng Family agrees to this. I will go back and gather the disciples to move to the Temple of Great Light."
After saying that, the Feng Family Master turned around and was about to leave.
However, at this moment, Chu Xiu said calmly, "Feng Family Master, looking at you, I'm afraid you're not going to move to the Temple of Great Light, but to report to the Temple of Great Light?"
The Feng Family Master turned around and smiled awkwardly. "How is that possible? Official Chu, you've misunderstood. "
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Did I misunderstand, or do you think I'm an idiot?
Feng Family Master, your son has become a disciple of the Temple of Great Light. His seniority is the same as Zong Xuan's, and he is even Zong Xuan's junior brother. You've been bragging about this for a long time.
Now that you're prepared to stand on my side, fine. Write a letter and ask your son to return to normal life. I will personally send someone to deliver it to the Temple of Great Light. Do you dare? "
The Feng Family Master's expression changed. He snorted and said, "Official Chu, do you really want to force us into a dead end? If you have a grudge against the Temple of Great Light, that's your own business. Why must you drag us down with you? We can't comply with your actions! "
The words of the Feng Family's Patriarch echoed the thoughts of many people present.
They could not afford to offend the Temple of Great Light, and neither could Chu Xiu. Therefore, it was better for them to watch from the sidelines.
Chu Xiu stared at the Feng Family Master for a moment, then finally shook his head and said, "Feng Family Master, you've disappointed me.
I've looked into the Feng Family's information. Your Feng Family's ancestor was a famous bandit in the martial world. He dominated the seven counties of Northern Yan and came and went like the wind.
"But your Feng Family's ancestor died at the hands of the Temple of Great Light's rising talent, becoming the other party's battle record to enter the Longhu Leaderboard.
"You should have a deep grudge against the Temple of Great Light, but now you're standing on the Temple of Great Light's side.
"Your son hasn't even gotten married yet, but you've already sent him to the Temple of Great Light to be a monk. He won't have the chance to have any descendants in this lifetime, and he won't even be able to touch a woman.
"What's the point of living for someone like you who has let down your ancestors and future generations? What use do I have for you? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Xiu lightly moved his finger, and everyone saw the Feng Clan's Patriarch's entire body start to twitch. Large amounts of blood seeped out from his body and transformed into a bloody mist that drifted in the air. In practically an instant, the Feng Clan's Patriarch's entire body's vital energy and blood had been sucked dry, and he'd become a dried corpse!
