In the headquarters of Six Gates of Bashu Sect in Jinyang Prefecture, Qiu Baichuan could not help but sneer when he heard his men report that Su Xin had gone to find Ji Yanxiu.
It was a good idea to find external help from Bashu Sect, but what kind of help could he find?
Qiu Baichuan did not take King Shu, Ji Yanxiu seriously.
Although he had been a local tyrant in Bashu Sect for many years, he knew that his sworn brother was on the side of King Tai, Ji Yancheng. Therefore, his attitude toward Ji Yanxiu was obvious.
Moreover, Ji Yanxiu was indeed useless. He had been in Bashu Sect for a few years, but he still dilly-dallied with those small sects. He had no courage at all.
One could imagine the result of Su Xin looking for such a person to cooperate with. Qiu Baichuan was also very disdainful, thinking that Su Xin had made a bad move.
Even so, Qiu Baichuan still arranged for people to continue to keep an eye on Su Xin. He could look down on Su Xin, but he would never look down on Su Xin.
At this time, Su Xin was in the King of Shu Palace, checking the strength of the palace.
Ji Yanxiu was only slightly mediocre, but he was not an idiot. Eunuch Wen was also an expert at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm. The two of them had been in Bashu Sect for such a long time. How could they just argue with those martial arts sects and not develop their own forces?
It was just that it would consume too much resources and energy to train subordinates alone. Moreover, without enough resources, their strength was destined to not be strong. Therefore, they mainly focused on other sects, wanting to directly subdue them.
Of course, while subduing those sects, the King of Shu Palace would not fall behind in the development of its own forces.
Over the past seven years, the King of Shu Palace had only cultivated some rogue cultivators and recruited some martial artists from Jianghu. There were only about 3,000 people who could be called trusted subordinates.
Among these 3,000 people, there were only about 20 martial artists at the Divinity Stage, which was similar to ordinary second-rate forces. There were about 300 martial artists at the Innate Spirit Aperture Stage and Qi Hai Stage, and the rest were all Acquired Stage martial artists.
This kind of strength could only be considered average among ordinary second-rate forces, not even at the top.
As the Prince's Mansion of the Zhou Kingdom, this little bit of strength was a little too miserable.
As far as Su Xin knew, the King of Tai, Ji Yancheng, had several retainers who had stepped into the Primordial Spirit realm, and they also had the support of several powers. Compared to them, Ji Yanxiu was indeed a little shabby.
Wen Yu shook his head helplessly and said, "The Sichuan Sect is famous for its swordsmithing. As a result, there are only swordsmiths in the entire Sichuan Sect. There are very few independent cultivators here, so we can only recruit these people locally."
Su Xin nodded and said, "But these people are enough. By the way, how many sects have taken things from the King of Shu's residence?"
Wen Yu said, "There's the Dancing Willow Sword Sect, the Heavenly Fire Sword Pavilion, the Fire Feather Sword Wang family, and the Four Aspect Sword Sect. They're all second-rate martial arts sects."
Su Xin nodded. The strength of the entire Bashu Path was actually far inferior to the Jiangnan Path.
Other than the Bashu Sword Pavilion, the only first-rate sect in the Bashu Path was the Frost Moon Sword Hut.
The Harmony Realm warrior of the Frost Moon Sword Hut was himself a swordsmithing grandmaster. He liked swordsmithing more than fighting.
Moreover, the Frost Moon Sword Hut mainly focused on swordsmithing. Therefore, the influence of the Frost Moon Sword Hut in the Bashu Path could not be compared to the influence of the Fallen Feather Villa and the other two first-rate powers in the Jiangnan Path.
Su Xin thought for a moment and said, "Send someone to the Dancing Willow Sword Sect and tell them that the Fire Feather Sword Wang family has disobeyed the orders of the King of Shu's residence. Ask them to help eliminate them."
Wen Yu's eyebrows twitched. He did not know what Su Xin meant by this, but since Ji Yanxiu had chosen to believe in Su Xin, he could only send someone to do as Su Xin said.
After sending someone to deliver the letter, Wen Yu looked at Su Xin and said in a sharp voice, "Lord Su, His Highness the King of Shu is willing to believe in you, but please do not disappoint His Highness the King of Shu and me."
Su Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Eunuch Wen. You are from the imperial court, but I, Su Xin, am from the underworld. I have definitely interacted with these martial arts sects more than you. I also understand the rules of the underworld better than you."
A cold light flashed in Su Xin's eyes as he said, "The underworld has its rules, and the righteous underworld has its own rules.
When you do not follow their rules, these people will be angry. But if you do follow their rules, these people will have nothing to say in the end. After all, these rules are set by them.
If you have absolute strength, you can ignore these rules. But if you do, you will have to use these rules to deal with them. "
Wen Yu felt a little dizzy after hearing Su Xin's series of rules.
Although Wen Yu was a eunuch, he cultivated Pure Yang Gang Qi. He was not the kind of warrior who took the feminine path.
A martial artist's personality would sometimes change according to the cultivation technique they cultivated. Wen Yu cultivated Pure Yang Aura Qi, so he was naturally not good at playing tricks in the dark. What he was better at was using the saber in his hand to suppress the other party face to face.
Su Xin did not explain too much to the other party. Anyway, when his plan was formed, Wen Yu and Ji Yanxiu would naturally understand what he meant.
At this time, in the Dancing Willow Sword Sect, the people of the Dancing Willow Sword Sect looked at each other after receiving the news from the King of Shu's Mansion. They did not know what Ji Yanxiu was up to.
The leader of the Dancing Willow Sword Sect, Liu Qianming, was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was elegant and had an extraordinary bearing.
Liu Qianming frowned and said, "How did the Wang family offend the King of Shu's Mansion? It doesn't make sense for Ji Yanxiu to lose his composure."
Seeing this, the disciple of the Dancing Willow Sword Sect asked, "Then leader, how should we reply to the people of the King of Shu's Mansion? They are still waiting outside."
Liu Qianming thought for a moment and said, "You can say this to the people of the King of Shu's Mansion. Say that the people of the Dancing Willow Sword Sect have gone down the mountain to recruit disciples and really can't find anyone to help the King of Shu. If the Wang family has any unresolved grievances with the King of Shu, then the Dancing Willow Sword Sect is willing to help them mediate."
After instructing the disciple to pass on the message, the elder of the Dancing Willow Sword Sect in the meeting hall said hesitantly, "Leader, is it not good for us to be so perfunctory with the people of the King of Shu's Mansion?
After all, we have taken a lot of things from the King of Shu's Mansion. It's fine if we are perfunctory when we have nothing to do, but now that the King of Shu really needs us, we should at least send someone over to show our sincerity. "
This elder of the Dancing Willow Sword Sect was considered to have a conscience, but after hearing his words, Liu Qianming sneered.
"Elder Chen, your thinking is too simple. If the King of Shu's Mansion wants to find trouble with other small forces, it's fine. But the Wang family is stronger than our Dancing Willow Sword Sect. If we rashly send someone over, will the Wang family bear a grudge against us?
We have indeed taken the things from the King of Shu's Mansion, but you don't have to take it seriously. If something happens, we can just wave the flag and cheer for them. If we really make a move, it will not be good for our Dancing Willow Sword Sect. "
Hearing Liu Qianming's words, Elder Chen didn't say anything else. Anyway, the sect leader was thinking for the interests of the Dancing Willow Sword Sect. If the King of Shu wanted to touch the Wang family, they would not get involved.
At this time, in the King of Shu's Mansion, after receiving the reply from the Dancing Willow Sword Sect, Su Xin immediately sneered and called out to the crowd, "Let's go to the Dancing Willow Sword Sect."
Seeing this, Wen Yu had no choice but to follow Su Xin to the Dancing Willow Sword Sect, ready to see what tricks Su Xin had up his sleeves.
At this time, in the Dancing Willow Sword Sect, Liu Qianming and the others were leisurely chatting about martial arts and Dao, sitting opposite each other and sipping tea. At this time, a disciple suddenly opened the door in a panic, causing Liu Qianming to frown.
"How can you be so flustered? Our Dancing Willow Sword Sect is not a small sect like those nouveau riche sects. We can't be without rules."
That disciple hurriedly said, "Sect leader, this is bad! The King of Shu's Mansion has surrounded the entire Dancing Willow Sword Sect! "
Liu Qianming's hand suddenly trembled, and the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Wasn't the King of Shu's Mansion looking for trouble with the Wang family? Why did they come for him now?
If it was because he refused to help the King of Shu's Mansion deal with the Wang family, then it made even less sense. The King of Shu's Mansion was not a fool. Why would they come for him after they had just offended the Wang family?
However, now that they had come to his doorstep, Liu Qianming had no time to think too much. He hurriedly walked out with several elders of the Dancing Willow Sword Sect.
At the gate of the Dancing Willow Sword Sect, many disciples of the Dancing Willow Sword Sect were confronting the people of the King of Shu's Mansion with swords drawn.
Liu Qianming said with a gloomy face, "Eunuch Wen, what do you mean by this? Don't you have a grudge against the Wang family? Why did you come to my Dancing Willow Sword Sect now? "
Wen Yu just smiled and let Su Xin, who was behind him, come forward.
"Sect leader Liu, we don't care about things anymore. The affairs of the King of Shu's Mansion are decided by this Lord Su, Su Xin."
"Su Xin?"
The people of the Dancing Willow Sword Sect were stunned for a moment before they guessed which Su Xin was in front of them.
At such a young age, he had the strength of the Divine Transformation Realm. Furthermore, Wen Yu called him a lord. In the entire Jianghu, who else could there be but the chief of detectives of Jiangnan and the former number one on the Ranking List of Young Masters, 'Bloody Sword Holy Finger' Su Xin?
The Bashu Sect and the Wulin of the Central Plains were only blocked, not completely blocked. Of course, they knew that the Ranking List of Young Masters was updated every month, but it was only a dozen days later than the Central Plains.
However, Liu Qianming and the others were confused about why Su Xin suddenly came to the Bashu Sect and became a member of the King of Shu's Mansion when he was the chief of detectives of Jiangnan.
Of course, these were not important. What was important was why the King of Shu's Mansion had surrounded the Dancing Willow Sword Sect today.
Liu Qianming said coldly to Su Xin, "Since you are in charge here, Lord Su, Lord Su, please give us an explanation. What do you mean by this today?"
Su Xin narrowed his eyes and said, "Just in time. I came here today to ask for an explanation from you, Sect Leader Liu!"
