There were many people in this world who felt good about themselves, and the elder of Jiangshan Pavilion was one of them.
Although he had heard of Chu Xiu's reputation, his view was completely different from that of Zhao Yuanfeng.
In Zhao Yuanfeng's view, Chu Xiu was the heir of the Yinmo Clan. Even the Northern Yan Zhenwu Hall had a faint tendency to be independent. The other party was definitely not to be trifled with.
However, in the eyes of the elder of the Zhao Family, the other party was also a minister of the Northern Yan. How could the words' ruler and minister 'be taken lightly? He had never thought that Chu Xiu would actually attack him right in front of him. Chu Xiu had no scruples at all, and had even said that Xiang Long's absence meant that his words were the rules.
Feeling the pressure in the punch, the elder of the Zhao Family suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
He was also a warrior in the True Fire Spiritual Refinement Realm, and it had been a long time since he entered the True Fire Spiritual Refinement Realm.
In the past, when the Zhao Family was chased by the enemy country like a stray dog, it was the former experts of the royal family who protected the last trace of the Zhao Family's bloodline to escape to the East Sea. The elder of the Zhao Family was one of those people.
During the pursuit, there were all kinds of strong pressures on the body. As long as one could survive, there was almost no weak person.
However, after he entered the Elders' Guild, he lived like a prince and had not fought with anyone for a long time.
At this time, Chu Xiu's punch gave the elder of the Zhao Family a feeling. It was the same feeling of despair that he had when he was facing the endless pursuit in the past.
The Elder of the Zhao Clan roared furiously, and light blue Gang Qi condensed around his body. Then, he slammed his palm down, and the powerful palm force surged like the waves of the vast sea, making deafening sonic booms.
However, Chu Xiu's punch contained extreme strength. His body that was tempered by the Inner Force and True Fire was indestructible. In addition, Chu Xiu also used the Black Tortoise True Skill as the fist intent of the Mountain and Sea Fist Scripture. This punch even had the power to shatter mountains. Seeing his own palm power collapse under Chu Xiu's punch, the Zhao Family Elder's expression changed greatly.
If the young man in front of him took out some amazing martial skill, he would still have the confidence to block it.
However, this pure suppression of power caused him to feel powerless.
All kinds of mystical arts and secret techniques had their weaknesses. Only extreme power had no weaknesses!
Right at this moment, Zhao Yuanfeng suddenly made a move.
He also struck out with his palm, but in an instant, he condensed the water vapor within a radius of several thousand feet. The water droplets froze in midair, blocking the path of Chu Xiu's fist.
The seemingly weak water droplets contained the power of heaven and earth. When Chu Xiu's power hit the water droplets, it was strangely absorbed.
Although most of the water droplets could not withstand this power and completely turned into water mist, they still blocked the power of Chu Xiu's punch.
Chu Xiu glanced at Zhao Yuanfeng and said indifferently, "Water has no fixed shape. Hard and soft? The pavilion master of Jiangshan Pavilion is indeed extraordinary. It's just that the people below are too insensible. As the pavilion master, you didn't even say anything, but the others are barking like dogs here. Don't they have any respect for their superiors? "
Hearing Chu Xiu say that he was barking like a dog, the Zhao family's elder's face immediately turned red. He was angry.
However, before he could say anything, Zhao Yuanfeng had already stopped him and said in a deep voice, "Official Chu, I, Jiangshan Pavilion, have lived in the coastal border for a long time. I don't know much about the Central Plains Warriors. I made a fool of myself and offended you, Official Chu. Please forgive me, Official Chu."
His elder had caused trouble, and the one who came to clean up after him was Zhao Yuanfeng.
He knew Chu Xiu's position in the Northern Yan. Although he should not have any conflict or enmity with Chu Xiu, if his elder offended Chu Xiu, it would really be an undeserved disaster.
Of course, Zhao Yuanfeng would not be too weak. He glanced at the Taoist and Buddhist sects and said, "Official Chu, I, Jiangshan Pavilion, have come here only to meet the emperor of the Northern Yan. After that, I will immediately go to Wei Prefecture. From then on, I will no longer participate in the various disputes of the Northern Yan court or the Jianghu. Right now, the first problem that Official Chu wants to solve is not us. In fact, it will not be us in the future. On the contrary, we may have the possibility of cooperation in the future. "
Chu Xiu cast a deep glance at Zhao Yuanfeng. This pavilion master of the Rivers and Mountains Pavilion did not have a prominent reputation in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. However, based on the move he had just made and the words he had said, Chu Xiu was able to determine that this person was a character.
Don't think that the overseas region was easier to live than the Central Plains Warriors. Wherever there were people, there would be Jianghu. Since it was Jianghu, there would be no lack of killings and disputes.
The Central Plains was a vast land with abundant resources. If they could not win, they could still escape. If they managed to escape, they could just find a place to recuperate. After all, revenge was a dish best served cold.
However, in the overseas region, outside the islands was the vast sea. Losing would basically mean death.
The fact that Jiangshan Pavilion could occupy a few islands in such a cruel place like the open sea was enough to show Zhao Yuanfeng's means and strength.
Right at this moment, Xiang Chong heard some news from somewhere and hurried over.
Although Xiang Long's purpose of bringing the Taoist, Demon, and Buddhist lineages here was to suppress Chu Xiu, it was not right for them to fight at the city gate on the first day they met. Therefore, he rushed over in time to stop them.
Xiang Chong even brought the Nine Dragon Seal. He was afraid that Chu Xiu would go crazy and turn against him with Shang Tianliang.
Of course, Xiang Chong was different. With Shang Tianliang's level of battle prowess, Chu Xiu would not use it unless he was forced to reveal his dagger. Although he was crazy, he had to obtain something after going crazy. Otherwise, he would not go crazy for nothing.
Although the atmosphere was tense, it seemed like there was no real fight. Xiang Chong heaved a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, His Majesty is waiting for you. Follow me into the city."
After saying that, Xiang Chong looked deeply at Chu Xiu and said calmly, "Official Chu, His Majesty is waiting for them. Can we talk about this later?"
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "North Garrison King, you worry too much. I'm just here to welcome an old friend. Is that not enough?"
Xiang Chong snorted and said, "I hope so."
After the people from the Daoist and Buddhist sects and the River Mountain Pavilion left, Tang Ya said, "The River Mountain Pavilion has a great reputation in the overseas region. Now that I look at it, it seems that they are ignorant and stupid."
Chu Xiu said calmly, "If everyone in the world is smart, then there is no way to survive.
This is very normal. Some people have lived for hundreds of years and still do not understand. This has nothing to do with age.
Don't laugh at others. There are many old people like this in the Yinmo Clan. "
Tang Ya nodded. That seemed to be the case. Tang Ya did not forget how the three big shots of the Yinmo Clan had come to denounce them. They had gone too far.
The probing at the city gate had made Chu Xiu understand. Although Xiang Long was old and on the verge of death, he was a hero who had led the rise of Northern Yan. He was not an easy person to deal with.
He had used the tactics of combining the vertical and the horizontal, driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, and so on. For an emperor, he did not have to know how to govern the country. There were plenty of civil officials who would help him govern. He also did not have to know how to fight a war. The generals of the five armies were more familiar with these things than him.
However, as an emperor, he could not lack the ability to see the big picture.
It was obvious that neither the Great Light Temple nor the Chunyang Dao Sect could refuse Xiang Long's conditions. Even if they knew that this would anger Chu Xiu, even if they knew that Xiang Long was using someone else to kill him, they would still do it. This was because the price of using someone else was so high that they could not refuse.
Just as Chu Xiu was about to go back and think of a plan, a person dressed like a butler walked in front of Chu Xiu and bowed. "Official Chu, His Highness invites you."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows. "Your Highness?"
The person said, "Of course, His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Xiang Chong is looking for me?"
The person dressed like a butler looked a little unhappy. He paused and said, "Sir, please be careful. His Highness is now the Crown Prince. It is not good for you to call him by his name."
Chu Xiu could fall out with the Zhao Clan Elder, who was also in the True Fire Spiritual Refinement Realm but could not see him clearly because of words. However, he would not lower himself to the level of a servant because it would lower his status.
Right now, he was only thinking about why Xiang Chong was looking for him.
Xiang Chong had interacted with Chu Xiu before, but their relationship was not very deep.
Previously, when Xiang Long had suppressed Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu had wanted to get Xiang Chong's help. However, after testing him, Xiang Chong had rejected him.
From then on, Chu Xiu could tell what Xiang Chong's stance was. Since then, the two of them had no contact.
Now that Xiang Chong had become the Crown Prince, could he still want to recruit him?
As he thought about this, Chu Xiu said to the servant, "Lead the way."
The servant brought Chu Xiu to the Crown Prince's Palace.
All these years, the Crown Prince's Palace had been empty. Although it had been cleaned up, it was still messy and not suitable for living.
However, Xiang Chong seemed to be afraid that he would lose his position. He could not wait to move into the Crown Prince's Palace, regardless of whether this place was suitable for living.
Chu Xiu waited in the simple and crude guest hall for a quarter of an hour before Xiang Chong came over. With a smile on his face, he said, "Sir Chu, I have neglected you. Please forgive me for not coming out to meet you."
Glancing at Xiang Chong, Chu Xiu could almost see through Xiang Chong's inner thoughts with his eyesight.
He was pleased and arrogant, but he tried his best to hide it. He did not want others to see it.
Even his tone when speaking to Chu Xiu was different from before. It had become a little arrogant.
Although Xiang Chong was a prince in the past, he still had to be courteous to a young talent like Chu Xiu who had a great reputation in the pugilistic world.
Later, when Chu Xiu became the Viceroy of the Zhenwu Hall, Xiang Chong did not even have the qualifications to recruit him. He could only express goodwill.
But now? He, Xiang Chong, has become the Crown Prince. In a few days, he will become the Emperor of Northern Yan, but you, Chu Xiu, are being suppressed by Imperial Father both openly and secretly. Chu Xiu, have you ever regretted not submitting to me?
