Xu Yan followed Bai Wuji into the Fluttering Snow City. Looking at Bai Wuji's figure in front of him, Xu Yan couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.
Honestly speaking, when he first learned that Chu Xiu was actually in the Fluttering Snow City, and that the Fluttering Snow City had even sided with Chu Xiu, Xu Yan was really surprised.
It wasn't that the Great Brilliance Temple was slow in their news, but to the Great Brilliance Temple, the grudges and killings in the Northern Yan Land were really too boring. It was so boring that the Great Brilliance Temple didn't even want to participate in it. Their eyes were only focused on the situation of the entire Jianghu.
Therefore, after the incident at the Drifting Snow City in the extreme north, the disciples of the Great Brilliance Temple did not even report it. After knowing that Chu Xiu was at the Drifting Snow City in the extreme north, Xu Yan finally understood what had happened during this period of time.
After knowing everything that happened in the Fluttering Snow City, Xu Yan also felt a little sad.
A major sect that was so close to the Great Brilliance Temple was gone just like that.
Although in the eyes of others, the Fluttering Snow City had weakened, it still existed. But in Xu Yan's eyes, from the moment the Fluttering Snow City sided with that demon, Chu Xiu, they had already abandoned themselves and were no longer the Fluttering Snow City of the past.
Thinking of this, Xu Yan couldn't help but sigh, "Little friend Bai, in the past, you and my sect's Zong Xuan were both elites on the Longhu Leaderboard. Although your Fluttering Snow City doesn't abhor evil, but all these years, you have stood on the side of the righteous path. But now, you've sided with Chu Xiu, becoming an accomplice of the demonic path. Why do you have to do this?"
Bai Wuji didn't even turn his head. He only said calmly, "When did my Fluttering Snow City not want to become a righteous sect and live in glory?
But when my Fluttering Snow City was in danger, who cared about my Fluttering Snow City?
It's not that we didn't beg the Great Brilliance Temple, but in the end, we couldn't even enter the door.
Of course, this is also what my Fluttering Snow City deserves. The sins of the previous generation will be repaid by the current generation.
But since Buddha isn't willing to help me, why are you complaining that I've joined the demonic path? "
Xu Yan sighed and did not say anything else.
This matter could only be said to be a joke of fate. It was not that the Temple of Great Light did not want to help, but that they could not.
The disciples were not in the wrong. The Temple of Great Light would not care about such matters.
To put it bluntly, what happened in the Northern Fluttering Snow City was a conflict between the forces of the martial arts world. If the Great Light Temple were to intervene in this kind of matter, there would be people begging them for help in the future. At that time, would the Great Light Temple intervene?
Hence, such matters couldn't be said out loud and could only turn a blind eye to it. But in the end, the Driftsnow City was pushed towards Chu Xiu's side.
When the Demonic Path did things, they did not seek fame, but only profit.
Chu Xiu brought Xu Yan into the great hall. Chu Xiu directly sat on the seat that belonged to the Driftsnow City Lord of the Northern Driftsnow City as he smiled, "Grandmaster Xu Yan came from afar, I apologize for not going out to welcome you. I hope Grandmaster won't take offense."
Although Chu Xiu said not to take offense, he had no intention of standing up at this moment.
Xu Yan stared at Chu Xiu and did not get angry. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Chu Xiu, what do you mean by this?
Other than infuriating my Temple of Great Light by playing those little tricks of yours, it doesn't bring you any benefits.
The great battle between the righteous and demonic factions has just ended. Although your Hidden Devil lineage didn't suffer too much damage, you can't really think that my righteous path of martial arts world doesn't have the strength to fight anymore, right? "
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Grandmaster Xu Yan, if I say that I was forced to do this, would you believe me?"
Xu Yan was so angry that he laughed instead, "I sent people to ask the Sect Masters and Clan Heads of those small factions, and they said that they were forced to do so. "Now that I've found you here, you also say that you were forced to do so, and that all of you are innocent people. Yet, this matter has become my Temple of Great Light's fault?"
Chu Xiu stared at Xu Yan and said plainly, "In Jianghu, one has no choice. There are too many things in this world that cannot be helped.
Those sects and families are not as strong as my Zhen Wu Hall, so I can force them.
I am now attached to the Northern Yan imperial court. Although my words carry enormous weight in Zhen Wu Hall, I still have to listen to the imperial court.
So, Xiang Long forced me, and I could only act. "
Xu Yan frowned and said, "This is Xiang Long's order?"
Chu Xiu nodded and directly sold Xiang Long out. "It is Xiang Long's order. This Northern Yan Lord has reached the end of his life. He wants to leave behind a stable Northern Yan for his descendants. Naturally, the Temple of Great Light, a place outside the law, has to be dealt with.
Of course, Xiang Long did not expect to destroy the Temple of Great Light, but his ultimate goal was to bring the Temple of Great Light under the rule of the Northern Yan.
Of course, there is a cause and effect. For so many years, the Temple of Great Light has not done anything to provoke the authority of the Northern Yan imperial court in this land of extreme north. This time, Xiang Long did not do this for the sake of his descendants, but because your Temple of Great Light has gone too far. "
Xu Yan snorted softly and said, "What has my Temple of Great Light done? As long as a disciple of my Temple of Great Light is able to step into Jianghu, they will abide by the precepts and will not cause trouble. "
Xu Yan dared to say this. The Temple of Great Light had strict precepts. The first thing a disciple did upon entering the temple was not to practice martial arts, but to recite Buddhist scriptures and cultivate their character. Then, after familiarizing themselves with the precepts, they would be assigned to one of the Six Major Martial Academies or the Three Major Meditation Halls.
Chu Xiu sneered and said, "Is that so? Some time ago, an old monk from your Temple of Great Light's Dharma Court killed General Nan Qianli of Donglin County's Iron Guard just because he cultivated demonic techniques. It seems that your Temple of Great Light really hates my Demonic Path to the core. "
When he heard this, Xu Yan immediately understood what was going on.
He knew about this matter, but that old monk was a disciple of the previous generation of the Temple of Great Light. He was extremely senior, and even Xu Yan had to call him Martial Uncle. What else could he do? Punish him?
Moreover, the person was from the Dharma Court. When the Dharma Court's First Seat, Xu Xing, heard about this matter, he even praised him without restraint, causing Xu Yan to feel very helpless.
Xu Yan was originally prepared to explain himself when the Northern Yan imperial court came to question him. In the end, he did not expect Xiang Long to be so agitated by this matter that he did not even question him. Instead, he directly prepared to deal with the Temple of Great Light.
Xu Yan frowned and said, "But that Nan Qianli used human lives to cultivate demonic techniques, which is a taboo in the pugilistic world. It's pardonable for the Temple of Great Light to take action."
Chu Xiu sneered and said, "Master Xu Yan, you'd better tell this to Xiang Long and not to me.
Nan Qianli used human lives to cultivate, but those were Northern Yan prisoners. Moreover, no matter how vicious the demonic techniques he cultivated were, he was first and foremost a member of the Northern Yan imperial court.
The Northern Yan imperial court had the right to kill him, but you didn't.
"Now, you killed him without saying a word, and you even barged into the military camp to kill him. You're impressive and domineering, so you'll naturally have to bear the consequences.
"Moreover, to put it bluntly, isn't the Temple of Great Light also bullying the weak and fearing the strong when you kill people?
Nan Qianli was a lone cultivator. Apart from his status in the imperial court, he had no backing.
"However, I, Chu Xiu, have also killed many people. Master Xu Yan, you're standing right in front of me. Why didn't you take action to eliminate the demons?"
Xu Yan's face immediately showed anger. Even though he had a good temper, he could not stand Chu Xiu's humiliation.
"Chu Xiu! Are you really prepared to fight the Temple of Great Light to the end? "
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Of course not. If I really wanted to make things difficult for the Temple of Great Light, why would I tell the truth so clearly to you, Master Xu Yan?
"Xiang Long is a heartless person, and I'm still a pugilistic world person. Even though I've helped the Northern Yan imperial court do so many things, he still doesn't trust me.
This time, he deliberately asked me to do it. He wanted me to fight with the Temple of Great Light to the end, and in the end, draw out the Clan of the Hidden Devil behind me, causing both of us to fight to the point where both sides suffer. The only one who would benefit from this would be the Northern Yan Imperial Court.
So now, I'm only using these little tricks and have not directly attacked the Temple of Great Light. Master Xu Yan, you should know very well what this means. "
Xu Yan frowned. Of course, he knew, but it was precisely because of this that this matter was difficult to handle.
Touching Chu Xiu would be helping the Northern Yan imperial court, and it would not benefit the Temple of Great Light.
The great battle between the orthodox and demonic factions had just ended, and the Moon Worshipping Cult was heavily injured. The orthodox sects were all recuperating. If they were to have another great battle with the Hidden Devil Faction, not only would the Temple of Great Light not be able to handle it, the other sects might not be willing to help the Temple of Great Light.
Looking at Chu Xiu, Xu Yan said coldly, "Then how do you plan to deal with it? The group of people surrounding the Great Light Temple must not stay there forever! "
Chu Xiu had been waiting for Xu Yan to say this. He extended three fingers and said, "Three months. I only need three months. This time is enough for me to account to Xiang Long. When the time comes, I will have them retreat.
Of course, if the Temple of Great Light is not willing to wait for these three months, they can just kill them.
If the Temple of Great Light can do something so ruthless, I will concede defeat and avoid the Temple of Great Light from now on. "
Xu Yan snorted coldly, turned around, and left.
If the Temple of Great Light dared to kill people, why would he rush to see Chu Xiu now?
Behind Xu Yan, a smile appeared on Chu Xiu's face.
Xu Yan did not agree, which meant that he had tacitly agreed. In these three months, the Temple of Great Light would not disturb him, which was enough for Chu Xiu to find the things that Lu Jiang He had buried. At the same time, he would be able to account to Xiang Long.
At the side, Bai Wuji was a little doubtful. "Sir, are you sure the Temple of Great Light will not make a move? With the Temple of Great Light's personality, they will not tolerate sand in their eyes. "
Chu Xiu said calmly, "Can't tolerate sand? That depends on how big the sand is.
Don't think that the Temple of Great Light is really untainted by the mud.
In the martial world, everything depends on strength.
The things that I have done are a hundred or a thousand times more evil than that Nan Qianli. Why don't I see anyone coming to me to kill demons and defend justice?
Because my strength is stronger than that Nan Qianli's! Because my background is also stronger than Nan Qianli's!
If the Temple of Great Light really cannot tolerate sand in their eyes, then there would have been no Temple of Great Light in the martial world 500 years ago! "
