The midday sun was glaring and dazzling. It took Su Xin nearly two months to reach Bashu.
Su Xin had thrown away the Raging Flame Colt a long time ago. In a place like the Sichuan Path, which was filled with mountains and narrow plank roads, the Raging Flame Colt's speed was not as fast as Su Xin's legs.
The plank road, which could only accommodate three people walking side by side, was crowded. Although the merchants of other paths knew that the Shu Path was difficult to travel, they could not stop the huge profits of the Bashu Path.
After all, the roads of the Bashu Path were difficult to travel through. Some of the materials that the Bashu Path needed had to be sold by merchants from the outside world.
Moreover, some of the ordinary weapons forged by the swordsmiths of the Bashu Path were also sold by the merchants.
At the end of the plank road was the largest prefecture of the Bashu Path, Jinyang Prefecture. It was also the headquarters of the Six Gates of Bashu Path.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of Jinyang Prefecture, Su Xin felt several gazes focused on him.
Su Xin smiled to himself. He did not enter Jinyang Prefecture. Instead, he headed west.
At this moment, the few people at the entrance of Jinyang Prefecture were dumbfounded. This person did not play by the rules.
They hurriedly walked in front of Su Xin and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Su. We are constables of the Six Gates of Bashu Path. We were specially ordered by Lord Qiu to welcome you, Lord Su. Jinyang Prefecture has already prepared a banquet to welcome you, Lord Su."
A faint smile appeared on Su Xin's face. "Then I will have to trouble Lord Qiu. However, I am an inspector and am responsible for supervising the various affairs of the Six Gates of Bashu Path.
Therefore, I appreciate Lord Qiu's good intentions. However, I still want to take a look around the entire Bashu Path. Therefore, there is no need for Lord Qiu to worry. "
With that, Su Xin took a step forward, and his figure appeared more than ten feet away. The constables could only look at Su Xin's back, shaking their heads helplessly as they left to report to Qiu Baichuan.
At this time, in Jinyang Mansion, Qiu Baichuan, the Ring of Life and Death, was waiting for Su Xin with a group of chief detectives from the School of Six-Fans of Bashu Sect.
They had said that they were going to welcome Su Xin, but there was no sign of a banquet here. Instead, there was a somber atmosphere.
Among the chief detectives of the Six Fan School, Qiu Baichuan, the Ring of Life and Death was the most famous.
This was not only because he was Liu Fengwu's sworn brother, but also because he was an old member of the Six Fan School. He had joined the Six Fan School when it was first established.
Although Qiu Baichuan had tried to break into the Harmonious Divine Realm several times over the years due to his limited aptitude, he was still a rare expert among those in the Divine Transformation Realm.
It was just that Qiu Baichuan had a weak reputation in Jianghu because he rarely fought in Bashu Sect.
However, those who were familiar with Qiu Baichuan knew that in terms of strength, Qiu Baichuan was probably comparable to an expert like Dong Buyi from the Nian Clan.
In the meeting hall of the Six Fan School of Bashu Sect, Qiu Baichuan sat on the main seat, playing with two huge red gold iron balls in his hand.
He had learned this action from Tie Ao, the Divine Eagle. Not only the Tie Clan, but many constables in the Six Fan School also had this habit.
One reason was that this action looked very imposing. The other reason was that he had been playing with these iron balls all year round. As the weight of the iron balls increased, it could also train the strength between his hands.
Although Qiu Baichuan was Liu Fengwu's man, this did not prevent him from respecting Tie Ao. After all, respect was one thing, and interests were another.
Qiu Baichuan looked to be in his fifties, but he was nearly eighty this year.
He joined the Six Fan School more than thirty years ago. At that time, he had just broken through to the Divine Transformation Realm, and he had been the chief constable of the Six Fan School of Bashu Sect for more than twenty years.
Since there was no hope of breaking through to the Divine Transformation Realm, he did not ask for more. However, he would not allow others to take the position of chief constable of the Six Fan School of Bashu Sect!
Liu Fengwu, the Nine-Winged Fire Phoenix, one of the Four Great Constables, was his sworn brother. Of course, he knew why Su Xin came to Bashu Sect this time. It was nothing more than revenge from the Tie Clan.
However, even knowing this, Qiu Baichuan still had nothing to worry about. It was not that he looked down on Su Xin, but he was confident in himself.
Qiu Baichuan had been operating in Bashu Sect for more than twenty years. If his power was seized by a junior like Su Xin, he might as well find a rope and hang himself.
Therefore, Qiu Baichuan was not afraid of Su Xin's arrival. Today, he had set up a banquet to welcome Su Xin. At the same time, he wanted to show Su Xin who was in charge of the Bashu Sect.
The sky was high and the emperor was far away. Qiu Baichuan's show of strength was a little old-fashioned, but it was very useful.
At the very least, many of the constables and constables present did not recognize the inspector of the headquarters of the Six Fan School. They only recognized him as the chief constable of Bashu Sect.
There were a total of five deputy chief constables in Bashu Sect, which was neither too many nor too few. One of the deputy chief constables, Chen Jiuyuan, smiled and said respectfully, "Don't worry, sir. The headquarters of the Six Fan School sent a junior to seize power and make trouble this time. This time, we must make him lose face and let the people in the headquarters of the Six Fan School know how powerful we are."
Among all the branches of the Six Fan School in the entire Zhou Kingdom, the Six Fan School of Bashu Sect was the most independent. Tie Zhan even said that the Six Fan School of Bashu Sect had almost developed into an independent kingdom.
It seemed that the constables and constables in the Six Fan School of Bashu Sect basically had no respect for the headquarters of the Six Fan School.
Qiu Baichuan snorted coldly and said, "Don't look down on that junior. He's not a simple person.
He became the chief constable of Jiangnan Sect when he was only at Divinity Palace level. He suppressed the entire Jiangnan Sect and was ranked first on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
Now, he has reached the Demigod Transformation Stage before the age of thirty. If such a person is useless, then what are we? "
Seeing that his flattery had failed, Chen Jiuyuan was embarrassed. The other deputy chief constables who were competing with him were secretly laughing.
However, at this time, Qiu Baichuan continued, "However, it's one thing not to look down on Su Xin, but we naturally won't be afraid of him. I, Qiu Baichuan, was in charge of the Bashu Sect more than 20 years ago, and I will still be in charge in the future!"
Chen Jiuyuan hurriedly flattered, "You're right, sir. The Bashu Sect is not for others to tell us what to do."
However, at this time, the constables who went to greet Su Xin returned. Qiu Baichuan immediately frowned and said, "Where is he? Didn't I ask you to greet Su Xin? Why did you come back on your own? "
When the constables brought Su Xin's words back, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what Su Xin meant.
Could it be that Su Xin was afraid and did not dare to come to the Six Fan School of Bashu Sect?
However, this did not seem right. According to Qiu Baichuan, Su Xin was not a simple person. Since he dared to come to Bashu Sect to seize power, how could he take the initiative to retreat without even meeting him?
Everyone was confused, and Qiu Baichuan was confused as well. This made him feel very unhappy.
He had been the local tyrant of Bashu Sect for more than 20 years and liked to control everything in the palm of his hand.
However, Su Xin did not play by the rules, and the first thing he did was out of his control. This made Qiu Baichuan's subsequent plans fall through, making him feel very depressed.
However, Qiu Baichuan then snorted and said, "Ask the people from the other prefectures to keep an eye on him. Let's see what he wants."
Anyway, Qiu Baichuan was confident in himself. He believed that even if Su Xin wanted to play some tricks, he, Qiu Baichuan, had been the local tyrant of Bashu Sect for more than 20 years, so he would be able to deal with changes by remaining unchanged.
At this time, Su Xin was also on his way to Liyang Prefecture of Bashu Sect.
This time, he deliberately avoided going to the headquarters of Six Doors of Bashu Sect.
He knew about Qiu Baichuan's background. In his early years, he and Liu Fengwu were sworn brothers.
In the past, Liu Fengwu was a bandit and was the leader of one of the largest bandit groups in the world, Wutong Mountain.
At its strongest, Wutong Mountain even dared to compete with the world's number one stronghold, Taihang Mountain.
However, Wutong Mountain was suppressed by Taihang Mountain, and Liu Fengwu was almost killed by the experts of Taihang Mountain. He had no choice but to join Six Doors to save his life.
Although Qiu Baichuan was an independent cultivator, he was personally invited to join Mount Wutong by the former chief of Mount Wutong. Although Qiu Baichuan refused in the end, he still became sworn brothers with Liu Fengwu, who had just ascended to the Soul Formation stage and had yet to become the leader.
A person who could be favored by the former chief of Wutong Mountain was definitely not a simple person. Moreover, Qiu Baichuan had been the local tyrant of Bashu Sect for more than twenty years. His prestige was much greater than when Su Xin was in Jiangnan Sect.
Against such an existence, no matter what schemes Su Xin played, he would only be humiliating himself. Therefore, Su Xin decided to take a different approach and attack from another direction. He directly broke through Six Doors of Bashu Sect from the outside.
The Liyang Prefecture that Su Xin was going to was the fief of a prince of the Zhou Kingdom, King Ji Yanxiu of Shu.
There were more than ten sons of the emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, Ji Haodian. Ji Yanxiu, whose name was similar to that of a woman, was the most inconspicuous one. Therefore, he was chased to the fief early.
The princes of the Zhou Kingdom who were truly qualified to fight for the position of crown prince all had the support of various factions.
Although they also had fief, they all stayed in Shengjing City. Only the princes who did not have the ability to fight for the position of crown prince were chased to the fief early.
Ji Yanxiu's mother was of mediocre birth. Among the many princes, he was only average in terms of aptitude.
His martial arts talent was not outstanding. He could not compare to the Tai King, Ji Yancheng, who had reached the Divinity Stage at the age of twenty.
His schemes were not brilliant either. He could not compare to the King of Chu, Ji Yanhao, who had schemed to ruin his brother's reputation before he was even ten.
Therefore, when he turned eighteen, he was chased to the fief of Bashu Sect, far away from the center of power in Shengjing City.
And this time, the key to Su Xin's success lay in the hands of King Shu, Ji Yanxiu.
