A life had been lost in the blink of an eye. Everyone present seemed to be scared out of their wits, and not a single person spoke.
With a wave of his hand, Chu Xiu blew away the blood mist in front of him with his Righteous Qi. He calmly said, "Shen Feiying."
Shen Feiying, who was not sitting in the middle of the crowd, but was standing behind Chu Xiu, immediately stood up and said, "Here."
"I'll leave the Feng family to you. Within three days, I want this name to disappear from the Northern Yan Underworld."
Shen Feiying respectfully bowed and said, "Yes, I will obey."
Shen Feiying's attitude was very obedient, and he was not forced at all.
Since the day he betrayed Fang Datong, there was no turning back for him. His life, his everything, was tied to Chu Xiu.
Even if Chu Xiu were to ask him to splash feces at the entrance of the Temple of Great Light, Shen Feiying would do so with tears in his eyes, much less exterminate a small aristocratic family. He would even have to beg Chu Xiu to take care of his family.
The crowd shuddered again, and their eyes were filled with terror.
It was only now that they understood a principle.
If they angered the Great Light Temple, they might not die, but if they angered Chu Xiu, they would lose their lives now!
With Chu Xiu's arrogant attitude, perhaps there would be people who would stand up for justice and kill the evil spirit in the end, but most of them would probably not live to see that day.
At this time, standing in the back hall, Lu Fengxian saw the scene in the hall through the window. He only frowned slightly and did not say much.
He had never agreed with the way Chu Xiu did things, but he would never advise Chu Xiu.
It was just like how others could not persuade Lu Fengxian. Even if Lu Fengxian did not agree with this matter, as long as you became his friend, Lu Fengxian would stand by your side no matter what you did.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Lu Fengxian's behavior was simply not distinguishing between right and wrong, but for Lu Fengxian, he could not disappoint the world, but as long as he did not disappoint his friend, that was enough.
Shui Wuxiang, who was standing behind Lu Fengxian, quite agreed with Chu Xiu's approach.
"The method of killing for the sake of killing is a bit too extreme, but Chu Xiu was able to find a balance. The world can only see that he is cruel and bloodthirsty, but in reality, killing is a means to him. Killing one person can intimidate so many people. It's worth it! "
Speaking of this, Shui Wuxiang was also a little sad. of
In the past, Lv Wenhou did not understand this point, and killed too much, which was why he ended up like this.
For Lv Wenhou, although he killed to solve problems, he was different from Chu Xiu. Lv Wenhou's method of solving problems was only to kill.
In the end, he killed All Enemies of the World, but he was killed instead.
If Lv Wenhou had listened to his advice back then, and not be so extreme in his actions, the legend of the Demon Lv Wenhou might not be the legend of the Demon Lv Wenhou, but the Overlord Lv Wenhou.
Lu Fengxian turned around and asked, "You also think that Brother Chu is right?"
Shui Wuxiang nodded and said, "Of course he is. If he did not use such a method, and recklessly attacked the Great Light Temple, it would be equivalent to seeking death."
Lu Fengxian suddenly sighed and said, "Actually, you should join Brother Chu. Following me is too much of a waste of your abilities."
If an ordinary person said something like this, it would definitely be a criticism. However, when Lu Fengxian said it, it was extremely sincere.
Shui Wuxiang and the others also knew this, so they directly said, "My Lord, we are willing to recognize you as our Lord because you have the inheritance of the old Lord, so you will always be our Lord. No matter how outstanding Chu Xiu is, he is still an outsider. My Lord, please do not mention such things in the future. "
Lu Fengxian nodded. In fact, he was also a little touched.
In fact, when he took in these four people, Lu Fengxian was a little resistant. He was not used to having so many people by his side.
However, after getting along with them, he realized that these four people really did not have any selfish intentions towards him. Regardless of whether he wanted to hear what they said or not, they were at least for his own good. That was why Shui Wuxiang and the others said it.
At this moment, everyone in the surroundings had been completely terrified by Chu Xiu's ruthless methods. No one doubted that if they continued to resist or tried to play tricks like the Feng Clan's Patriarch had, then they would probably become dried corpses on the ground.
At this time, Bai Wuji walked in from the Inner Hall, bowed respectfully to Chu Xiu, and said in a deep voice, "The Northern Fluttering Snow City is willing to follow Official Chu, and be at Official Chu's beck and call!"
This time, everyone present was really shocked.
Who would have thought that the Northern Fluttering Snow City, a force that had some enmity with Chu Xiu in the early years, would actually choose to submit to Chu Xiu.
In fact, the news of Bai Hantian's death was already known by most people. After all, Bai Hantian was considered a character in the entire Northern Yan.
But the matter of Chu Xiu saving the Northern Fluttering Snow City was not known to most people.
Therefore, in the eyes of most people, Bai Wuji, as the heir of the Northern Fluttering Snow City, was the City Lord, and could also represent the position of the Northern Fluttering Snow City.
Bai Xiaotian was right. Although he was the Martial Dao Grandmaster, and he was also the one who turned the tide and saved the Northern Fluttering Snow City, his reputation was really not as good as Bai Wuji's.
At least outside, everyone recognized Bai Wuji as the heir of the Northern Fluttering Snow City, not Bai Xiaotian.
At this time, Bai Wuji's appearance at this time was like the straw that broke the camel's back, letting them know what to choose.
The crowd looked at each other, immediately bowed, and said in a deep voice, "We are also willing to follow Official Chu's beck and call!"
Although Bai Hantian was dead, and the Northern Fluttering Snow City had become a joke, and its strength was extremely weak.
But no matter how weak the Northern Fluttering Snow City was, the other party was still one of the overlords of the Northern Land. The tiger died, the tiger's prestige still existed, and Bai Wuji's weight was not low.
He took the lead to submit, how could the others dare to refuse?
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Everyone, in the future, you will know that you have made a wise choice."
A smile that was uglier than crying appeared on the faces of everyone present.
They did not know whether it was wise or not, but they knew that if they did not choose this now, they might not be able to leave the Zhenwu Hall.
After everyone left, Bai Wuji hesitated and said, "Sir, are you really going to make a move on the Great Light Temple?"
The Northern Yan martial arts world could not be compared with the Eastern Qi martial arts world. Even in terms of the number of top sects, the Northern Yan was not even comparable to the Western Chu.
The reason why the Eastern Qi martial arts world was strong was that the Eastern Qi was located in the Central Plains. It was a vast land with abundant resources, so most of the sects with a long history were in the Eastern Qi.
And the reason why the Western Chu martial arts world was strong was that the Western Chu imperial court did not do anything, causing the people of the Western Chu land to be fierce and strong.
Therefore, among the martial arts world forces in these three places, it seemed that the Northern Yan was the easiest to manage, but in fact, it was not because the Northern Yan had the Great Light Temple.
Taoism was peaceful and inactive. In addition to the Chunyang Dao Sect, the Real Martial Arts Sect was also in the Eastern Qi territory, but even the Chunyang Dao Sect rarely intervened in the affairs of the imperial court.
But the Great Light Temple was different. Any existence that they did not like, the Great Light Temple would intervene.
With such an overlord level force in the Northern Yan, the entire Northern Yan martial arts world felt great pressure.
Now, Chu Xiu actually wanted to compete with such an existence. In Bai Wuji's view, it was a bit dangerous. It was more appropriate to let the entire Yinmo Clan behind Chu Xiu come.
"Do you regret it?" Chu Xiu asked.
Bai Wuji shook his head and said, "Of course not, but now that I have become your subordinate, I should naturally help you solve your problems. I don't understand your plan, so I'm afraid it won't be good for me to take action."
Chu Xiu casually waved his hand and said, "We don't have to do anything this time, just watch.
I also know the strength of the Great Light Temple, so of course, I won't be so stupid as to fight the Great Light Temple to the end.
To put it bluntly, my plan is a bit shameful, it is used to disgust the Great Light Temple.
With so many people digging around in the Great Light Temple's territory, if the Great Light Temple has the guts, then they can kill. If they don't, then they can only endure! "
At this point, Chu Xiu sneered and said, "This time, I want to see if those monks are really merciful or fake!"
As soon as Chu Xiu said this, Bai Wuji immediately understood what was going on.
It had to be said that this move of Chu Xiu was indeed a bit sinister, but it was only useful against the Great Light Temple.
If it were anyone else, they would directly start a massacre and kill a few families, and the rest would naturally fall apart. Even if Chu Xiu threatened them, it would be useless. They would die either way.
However, it was different now. Retreating was death, but advancing was not necessarily the same.
At this time, in the outside world, whether it was the family heads who had accepted their fate or those who had secretly sent messages to the Great Light Temple, everyone had already made some simple preparations and temporarily moved their families to the wild lands of the far north.
It was not easy to drag along one's family, so it took more than ten days before all the forces were ready to depart.
The cold lands of the far north where the Great Light Temple was located had a very harsh environment.
If it was said that the extreme north where the Driftsnow City was located was only a little colder, but there were still some living creatures living there. But the bitter cold of the extreme north was a true land of death, with no signs of life in a radius of several hundred miles.
However, this was very useful for the warriors of the Great Light Temple.
For the new disciples of the Great Light Temple, staying away from the bustling city was beneficial to their cultivation. It could allow the disciples to not be contaminated by the outside world when they were young.
When these disciples came of age, they could also use this bitter cold environment to comprehend and cultivate their character.
However, recently, the warriors of the Great Light Temple felt that something was not right.
Dozens of Northern Yan forces came to set up camp around the Great Light Temple, and they even built simple pavilions. Although the practicality could not be compared to their homes, it was not a problem for them to stay here temporarily.
After discovering this, the Great Light Temple immediately went to inform the abbot. In the end, the abbot unexpectedly went into seclusion, leaving only Xu Yun behind.
Of course, everyone was used to it. In the Great Light Temple, Xu Yun was almost equivalent to another abbot.
