In the tavern, there were a lot of merchants and some wandering martial artists eating and resting here. It was raining heavily outside, so they were too lazy to continue their journey.
At this moment, the door of the tavern was pushed open and more than a dozen martial artists walked in.
The one at the front was very young and dressed like a young master of an aristocratic family. This man was Shanyang Prefecture's Tao Family's Eldest Young Master, Tao Yi. Next to him was a forty years old steward who frowned and said, "Eldest Young Master, we will arrive at Shanyang Prefecture in a day. Let's go back and rest. The herbs we bought from Wei County can't be exposed to the rain."
Tao Yi looked impatient and said, "Nonsense, anyway, we have been in the rain for several days, one more day won't make much of a difference. From Wei County to Shanyang Prefecture, how many days has it been since we ate a hot meal? Anyway, this Young Master can't stand it. Father, you really want to go to Wei County to buy herbs in this season? You can just buy them directly from Qing Yuan Town, why do you have to go to Wei County? How much money can you save? "
The tavern wasn't big, and now with so many people pouring in, it immediately felt crowded, even to the point that it couldn't sit down.
Tao Yi frowned and shouted at the cultivators on Chu Xiu's side, "All of you, get out of my way and scram!"
Tao Yi's overbearing behavior caused the other Jianghu people to reveal a hint of anger in their eyes. Immediately, someone was about to flare up, but he was immediately pressed down by someone else. Someone whispered a few words into his ear and pointed out Tao Yi's identity. Only then did those Jianghu people give up and obediently prepared to leave.
They couldn't afford to offend the Tao Family's Young Master.
A cold light flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He hurriedly ate two mouthfuls of food and prepared to leave.
He didn't need to care about a small character that he could easily pinch to death. If his whereabouts were exposed because of teaching him a lesson, it wouldn't be worth it.
But at this time, Tao Yi saw that Chu Xiu's movements were a little slow. He was already a little impatient, so he suddenly snorted and directly walked over, slapped Chu Xiu's bamboo hat, and reprimanded, "Didn't you hear me telling you to get out? Dilly-Dallying, do you want this Young Master to invite you out? "
The moment the bamboo hat was thrown away, Tao Yi saw Chu Xiu's dark face. He didn't care at first, but at this time, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes suddenly showed a touch of panic. Although he forced himself to calm down, his cheeks couldn't help but twitch.
Tao Yi turned around calmly and glanced at the food on the table. He snorted disdainfully and said, "Really, this small place can't even cook well. What are these things? "Pig food? Forget it, I'm not eating anymore. I'll go back to Shanyang Prefecture. "
The manager of the caravan was dumbfounded. He didn't know what this young master was up to.
Just now, you were the one who said that you hadn't eaten a hot meal for a few days, and now you're complaining that the food is bad. It seems like the young master's temper is getting worse every year.
However, at this moment, no one noticed the uncontrollable fear on Tao Yi's face!
He knew Chu Xiu. Although he hadn't spoken to Chu Xiu, he had seen Chu Xiu a few times at the Shanyang Prefecture auction. Originally, he didn't have a deep impression of him, but as Chu Xiu did these things, his impression of Chu Xiu became extremely deep.
Not to mention the destruction of the Zhang family, others couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the death of Zhang Baitao and the other three. Even if they heard it, they wouldn't say anything. But the forces of Shanyang Prefecture were very concerned. They didn't expect that Zhang Baitao, who came from the Ba Mountain Sword Sect, would still fail to kill Chu Xiu with three Connate Experts, and lose miserably.
And as Tao Yi brought the caravan back from Wei Prefecture to the Yan Kingdom, the news about Chu Xiu had spread throughout Linzhong Prefecture.
In the fight for the secret box in the Lyu Yang Mountain relic, he had schemed against the young master of the Morgue Village, Nie Dongliu, and Bai Wuji, the two Jianghu elites of the Fluttering Snow City, in front of everyone. His courage was boundless, and he had no scruples.
From that moment on, Tao Yi was certain that this person was a fanatic who had no scruples at all! For the sake of profit, he would do anything.
But his state was too high. His opponents were the big clans of Linzhong Prefecture, and even the famous sects like the Morgue Village and the Fluttering Snow City in the Northern Yan. They had nothing to do with the Tao family, a small family that could only show off in Shanyang Prefecture. But Tao Yi had never thought that he would meet Chu Xiu here.
He knew what kind of situation Chu Xiu was in now. He was wanted by the Morgue Village and was being hunted by all the martial arts masters in Linzhong Prefecture. If he sold his information, he could get a lot of money.
But the problem was, Tao Yi did not dare to do it now!
At the moment, Tao Yi only hoped that Chu Xiu did not notice anything wrong with him. Everything had to wait until he left this place.
But unfortunately, things did not go according to his wishes.
Just as Tao Yi was about to leave, Chu Xiu said faintly, "Young Master Tao, are you going to leave just like that?"
Tao Yi's frightened eyes could not hide from Chu Xiu. Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, Chu Xiu could still hear the sound of his heart beating when he was nervous.
Tao Yi turned his head and pretended to be calm. "What do you mean? Do you know me? "
Chu Xiu did not speak. He just slowly took out his red sleeve knife from the secret box.
The moment he saw the red sleeve knife, Tao Yi suddenly panicked. He hurriedly shouted, "Chu Xiu! My Tao Family has no grievances with you. Even if I know your information, I will not say it. If you let me go, I promise not to leak your information! "
Hearing that the person in front of them was Chu Xiu, who was wanted by the Morgue Village, the Tao Family stewards were suddenly shocked. But then they secretly thought that it was not good.
It was okay if Tao Yi did not speak before. Now he said it in public. This was simply forcing Chu Xiu to kill him!
Sure enough, the moment Tao Yi shouted those words, a crimson saber light had already appeared in front of him!
"No!"
Tao Yi roared angrily. He didn't want to die here. He didn't want to carelessly lose his life here because he had slapped Chu Xiu's bamboo hat away.
He still had the hidden weapon of Qianji Sect given to him by his father. It was used to save his life in critical moments. It was said that if used well, it could even hurt a Xiantian Warrior.
But as soon as he put his hand in his pocket, Chu Xiu's knife had already arrived. The crimson knife light flashed and scarlet blood splashed.
Tao Yi's eyes were still flickering with unwillingness as his head fell to the ground.
He was the only legitimate son of the Tao Family. Such a great family business was still waiting for him to inherit. But he died here today. The cause of his death was extremely funny. He was 23 years old and died because of his dirty hands.
If he had not hit Chu Xiu's bamboo hat and seen something he should not have seen, he would not have died here.
When the steward of the Tao Family's caravan saw this scene, he immediately screamed in horror. More than a dozen members of the caravan began to flee frantically.
The rest of the people in the tavern, except for a few ordinary people who really did not know martial arts, even smashed the walls and ran away screaming.
Recently, Chu Xiu's reputation in Linzhong Commandery was very big. It should be said that those who could be wanted by the Righteous Manor and chased by the whole Jianghu forces in Linzhong Commandery were all famous.
Not only did Lv Yangshan plot against Nie Dongliu and Bai Wuji, but other things that Chu Xiu had done in Linzhong Commandery were also dug out.
Zhang Family of Shanyang Prefecture, Zhang Baitao and the other three people, and Cold River Prefecture also had his traces. After all, there was a fish from the Black-tiger Gang who had escaped the net in Cold River Prefecture. Although they had been scared out of their wits, they still spread the news about Chu Xiu.
In this way, the number of Xiantian Warriors who had died in the hands of Chu Xiu had already exceeded 10!
Fierce man! Absolutely fierce man!
Hearing the screams around him, Chu Xiu did not chase after them. He could not catch up anyway.
Dozens of people fled in all directions. Even if dozens of pigs ran like this, Chu Xiu would not be able to kill them all in a short time.
He just looked around and sighed. He was only one step away, but in the end, he was forced to kill.
At this moment, a stern shout came from outside, "Chu Xiu! Stop hiding and come out to die! "
Outside the ruined tavern, four Inner Strong Realm warriors surrounded Chu Xiu in the center. Their eyes revealed a glint of dense killing intent.
They had been searching in the vicinity before. Now that they heard the commotion, they immediately rushed over.
Seeing Chu Xiu, the four Inner Supreme Realm martial artists sighed inwardly. The Young Manor Master's predictions were like that of a god. Chu Xiu was indeed in this place.
Originally, the major forces of Linzhong Commandery had spread out to search. Among them, they had found traces of Lu Fengxian, but Lu Fengxian had escaped. Chu Xiu was even better at hiding. Even with the intervention of Wind Sweeping Building, they had not been able to dig out Chu Xiu.
Later, it was Nie Dongliu who personally made the decision to ignore other places and only focus on the area near Wei Commandery.
The reason was simple. Since Lu Fengxian had escaped to West Chu, Chu Xiu could only choose to escape to Wei Commandery or the extreme north of Liaodong.
The latter was the territory of the extreme north's Floating Snow City. If Chu Xiu escaped there, they could not do anything about it. Naturally, the extreme north's Floating Snow City would take care of him.
Therefore, the area near Wei Commandery was the place where they strictly searched and sent most of the Inner Strong Realm warriors here. They did not expect that Chu Xiu would really appear here!
