Su Xin had a conflict with Qiu Baichuan, and several constables of the Six Fan School had died, which made Qiu Baichuan feel extremely aggrieved.
Qiu Baichuan had been the local tyrant of the Bashu Sect for so long, but this was the first time he had been put in such a difficult position.
In particular, Su Xin had killed several of his constables, which had greatly damaged his prestige in the Six Fan School.
Those ordinary constables had a very simple thought process. You brought people to cause trouble for Su Xin, but in the end, nothing happened to him, but you came back with a face full of dirt, and some of your brothers had died. How would your subordinates think of you, Qiu Baichuan?
Qiu Baichuan admitted that Su Xin was strong, but he had never seen such an unconventional person in the Six Fan School for so many years.
If Su Xin were to fight with him in the Six Fan School, Qiu Baichuan was ninety-nine percent sure that he could use the prestige and power he had accumulated in the Six Fan School of Bashu Sect to completely overpower Su Xin and make him scram back to his own Jiangnan Sect.
However, Su Xin was now helping the Shu Palace to strengthen its power. Although Qiu Baichuan did not know what Su Xin wanted to do, he knew that once the power of the Shu Palace grew, he would not have a good time.
However, he could not directly use the power of the Six Fan School to deal with Su Xin. Otherwise, it would not be a power struggle, but a direct rebellion.
Just like the constables of the Six Fan School that Su Xin had just killed, they had died in vain.
Su Xin was the chief constable of Jiangnan Sect, and he also had the title of inspector of the Six Fan School. His status was not just a little higher than theirs.
If they dared to draw their swords against Su Xin, they would be offending their superiors. Even if the lawsuit was brought to Liu Fengwu, he would not be able to win.
Of course, Qiu Baichuan would not just let it go. He had been operating in Sichuan for more than 20 years. His connections were not limited to the Six Fan School of Sichuan Sect.
In Bashu Taoism, the martial arts forces had a good relationship with Six Fan School. Everyone lived in harmony. Qiu Baichuan only wanted to be a local tyrant, so he rarely cared about these martial arts sects. As long as they did not cause any big trouble, he would not care about them.
Therefore, over the years, Qiu Baichuan did not have any enmity with the martial arts forces of Bashu Sect. He even had some friendship with them.
However, there was no need for Qiu Baichuan to think about those second-rate forces. Right now, they were clearly planning to sweep the snow in front of their doors and ignore Su Xin. Moreover, they did not have the strength to do so.
Since they didn't want to interfere, Qiu Baichuan could only beg someone else.
That person owed him a favor. Qiu Baichuan originally didn't want to use it, but now, he was prepared to use it.
Qiu Baichuan wrote a letter and handed it to a constable of Six Fan School. He said, "Go, hand him over to the Moon Frost Sword Hut."
Qiu Baichuan wanted to ask the Moon Frost Sword Hut for help, but in fact, those third-rate forces that were unwilling to join the Shu King's Mansion had also come to the Moon Frost Sword Hut.
As a first-rate force of Bashu Taoism, the Moon Frost Sword Hut's history was not inferior to that of the Bashu Sword Pavilion.
However, the Bashu Sword Pavilion was founded by hundreds of swordsmiths, while the Moon Frost Sword Hut was founded by one person and had been passed down to this day.
Currently, there were less than ten swordsmiths in the world who could be called swordsmiths, and the Moon Frost Sword Hut had one.
The current master of the Moon Frost Sword Hut, 'Swordmaster' Li Daoan, was one of them.
Not only was Li Daoan a Sword Forging Grandmaster, but he was also a Harmonious Soul Realm martial artist. Moreover, his attainments in the Dao of the Sword were extremely high. He had even come to the Central Plains to discuss the Dao of the Sword with the experts of the Sword Fighting Sect and the Sword God Mountain, causing the people of the two sects to sigh in admiration.
After Li Daoan returned to the Bashu Taoism and took over as the master of the Moon Frost Sword Hut, he had forged three Sky-grade swords and became famous in the world.
Moreover, he liked to guide the younger generation. Some martial artists who were talented in swordsmanship, whether they were Rogue Cultivators or from sects, would always learn a thing or two.
With his attainments in swordsmanship, those who were taught by him all benefited greatly and were very grateful to Li Daoan. That was why Li Daoan was respectfully called 'Swordmaster' later on.
However, Li Daoan was getting on in years. He was almost three hundred years old, so it was impossible for him to forge swords by himself.
Therefore, the Moon Frost Sword Hut's affairs had been handed over to his disciples to take care of. He spent most of his time in seclusion and did not care about worldly affairs.
However, the Moon Frost Sword Hut had developed very steadily with the reputation that Li Daoan had built. Their position in the Bashu Taoism was second only to the Bashu Sword Pavilion.
A few people from third-rate forces were crying in front of the Moon Frost Sword Hut. They looked as if they would not leave if they did not give them justice. This put the people of the Moon Frost Sword Hut in a difficult position.
The Moon Frost Sword Hut had always had a good reputation in the Bashu Taoism. They could not possibly chase them away now, could they?
Helpless, the people of the Moon Frost Sword Hut could only inform Li Daoan.
The Moon Frost Sword Hut was built in a valley. Behind the valley was a small pond with beautiful scenery. Li Daoan had built a thatched hut around the pond and lived in seclusion.
Li Daoan looked very ordinary. He had a serene and peaceful temperament, just like an ordinary old man.
At the moment, he was only wearing loose, coarse hemp clothes. He listened to the reports from the people of the Moon Frost Sword Hut beside the pond while boiling tea.
The real leaders of the Moon Frost Sword Hut were his personal disciples. They were each in charge of their own affairs. Because the Moon Frost Sword Hut mainly focused on forging swords, his disciples did not have much conflict with each other.
After Li Daoan's eldest disciple, Dong Yuanxi, told Li Daoan what had happened, he could not help but ask, "Master, what should we do now? Should we go and stop Su Xin and the Shu King's Mansion? "
Li Daoan didn't answer them. He just slowly poured the tea he had brewed into a few teacups. After handing each of them a cup, he slowly said, "I don't have many years left to live. The Frost Moon Sword Hut will be under your care in the future, so you should be the ones to decide what to do. Tell me what you think."
Li Daoan's disciples' eyes immediately lit up when they heard this.
Although they usually did not fight for power, they still had some thoughts about the position of master of the Moon Frost Sword Hut.
It seemed that Li Daoan was using this matter to test them. Whoever answered to Li Daoan's wishes might become the master of the Moon Frost Sword Hut in the future.
Dong Yuanxi was the first to speak, "Master, I still think that we should take care of this matter. Recently, Su Xin and the Shu King's Mansion have been very arrogant in the Bashu Path. If we let them continue to expand like this, I'm afraid that even the Moon Frost Sword Hut will not be able to control them."
As the eldest disciple of the Moon Frost Sword Hut, Dong Yuanxi was at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm. He also wanted to make the Moon Frost Sword Hut flourish again.
His talent in crafting was mediocre, but his talent in martial arts was not bad.
As such, Dong Yuanxi was quite a radical person. In his opinion, the Moon Frost Sword Hut should follow the path of the Bashu Sword Pavilion. Even if they had swordsmithing masters and swordsmithing grandmasters, they should still cultivate their own warriors.
Now, no matter how many weapons they forged, they would only be making wedding clothes for others. No matter how good the sword was, it would only belong to others in the end.
Li Daoan's second disciple, Xu Jiu, said, "I think it's better if we don't get involved in this matter. To be honest, we all know what those third-rate sects are like.
They only remembered the Moon Frost Sword Hut after something happened. Why don't we usually see them show their respect?
These people come to us as soon as something happens. Do they really think that the Moon Frost Sword Hut is a living Buddha?
Moreover, although Su Xin and the King of Shu's Mansion have gone overboard, they still know the rules. They didn't touch those second-rate forces, so they wouldn't dare to touch the Moon Frost Sword Hut.
If that's the case, why do we have to become enemies with the King of Shu and Su Xin for the sake of those third-rate forces? "
Dong Yuanxi shook his head and said, "Junior Brother, you're wrong. As the saying goes, if the skin doesn't exist, how can the hair attach to it?
Once the King of Shu's Mansion has expanded to a certain extent, it's hard to guarantee that they won't target those second-rate forces.
Once they're done dealing with those second-rate forces, will they come to deal with us? Therefore, we have to be careful. "
Two of Li Daoan's disciples were in the Divine Transformation Realm. Although the other two were not his disciples, they were still Li Daoan's juniors. The few of them argued endlessly, but they couldn't come to a conclusion.
At that moment, a disciple delivered a letter to Li Daoan. After reading the letter, Li Daoan sighed and said, "It's time to return the favor. Yuanxi, you're responsible for going to the King of Shu's Mansion and talking to Su Xin. As long as he's willing to stop, we're willing to pay a certain price."
When Qiu Baichuan first came to Bashu Path, he didn't choose to directly suppress the entire Bashu Path like Su Xin did with Jiangnan Path. Instead, he chose to use force to suppress those small sects. As for forces like the Moon Frost Sword Hut and the Sword Pavilion of Bashu, he chose to befriend and please them.
Back then, the disciples of the Moon Frost Sword Hut had offended someone in the martial arts world of the Central Plains. The Moon Frost Sword Hut was far away in Bashu, so they had no influence on the martial arts world of the Central Plains.
In the end, Qiu Baichuan came out and borrowed the face of Six Fan School to bring them back safely. As such, the Moon Frost Sword Hut owed him a favor.
Now that Qiu Baichuan had personally sent someone to deliver a letter, it was time to return the favor.
Dong Yuanxi nodded. This was exactly what he wanted. He immediately sent his disciple to the King of Shu's Mansion to look for Su Xin.
Although Dong Yuanxi's disciple was supposed to be of the same generation as Su Xin in the Jianghu, martial artists in the Jianghu were differentiated by their strength.
Su Xin was now a martial arts master in the Divine Transformation Realm. He was someone who was on an equal footing with Dong Yuanxi. A disciple at the Divinity Realm was probably not enough to go against him.
Therefore, Dong Yuanxi wrote another letter to his disciple. This time, his tone was not as arrogant.
This time, the Moon Frost Sword Hut came to persuade or force Su Xin to stop, not to start a war with Su Xin. Of course, there was no need to be so angry.
