The Hidden Demon lineage and the Mingmo lineage have been fighting openly and secretly for such a long time. In fact, the entire Hidden Demon lineage has always believed that they are not much worse than the other side.
Even most people in the Hidden Demon lineage look down on the Mingmo lineage, thinking that they are all cowards and that they are the orthodox of the Kunlun Demon Cult.
As a result, Ye Shaonan has now become the veritable number one person in the demon world, and the Moon Worshiping Sect has brought attention to the righteous martial arts world for the Hidden Demon lineage. This makes Wei Shuya feel very complicated.
After chatting with Wei Shuya for a while, the Ghost Hand King suddenly knocked on the door and came in: "Sir, someone is looking for you."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Who is looking for me? Is it Brother Lu and the others?"
During the month that Lu Fengxian and others were in seclusion in Chu Xiu, they either returned to their respective sects, or they stayed in the Guanzhong torture hall to practice for a while, such as Lu Fengxian and Luo Feihong.
They also fought against martial arts masters in this battle, and each of them gained something, so they prepared to retreat in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall for a while before leaving.
King Guishou shook his head and said: "No, Mr. Lu and others are still in retreat. They are from the Northern Yan court."
Chu Xiu nodded clearly, and then he remembered that he seemed to have made an agreement with the Beiyan court.
Of course, Chu Xiu had no intention of going back on this matter. Since Xiang Long helped him at a critical moment, Chu Xiu naturally had to keep his word.
Moreover, during the Beiyan Alliance in the past, although Nie Renlong died in the hands of Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu did not intend to let go of the hatred of others so easily.
Moreover, Chu Xiu does plan to go to Beiyan. Guanzhong is too small and the resources there can support several martial arts masters, but it will be difficult for Chu Xiu to go further.
Now that Chu Xiu had just entered the true elixir realm, he didn't need to be so anxious.
However, something happened when he attacked Luo Shenjun, which suddenly made Chu Xiu feel a sense of crisis in his heart.
This feeling of not being under one's control is very uncomfortable, so what Chu Xiu can do is to improve his strength as quickly as possible, and for this, he will do whatever it takes!
Wei Shuya on the side said in a deep voice: "I have no objection to your cooperation with Xiang Long. Jianghu and temples may be simple to say, but they have never really separated.
However, Xiang Long is a hero of his generation, he is deep-minded, and is mean and ungrateful. You must be careful when cooperating with him.
Yang Gongdu, you also know that although this person has a lot of problems, he still has some abilities, otherwise he wouldn't be called a poisonous dragon warrior.
In the past, when Xiang Long united with the Northern Yan Wulin to attack the Eastern Qi Dynasty, it was Yang Gongdu who helped Xiang Long, lobbied and used tricks in the Northern Yan Wulin, and finally succeeded in promoting this matter. He was alone in this matter.
It should take at least half of the credit.
As you can see, Yang Gongdu was forced out of Beiyan just because he intervened in the battle for the right to inherit the throne. Even Xiang Long was already murderous! It was only because Yang Gongdu had some trump cards that he survived.
This is a lesson learned from the past. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. If you touch Xiang Long's reverse scale, given his character, I'm afraid he won't care about the hidden demon lineage."
For most Jianghu people, most of them have no impression of the imperial court. After all, most of the time, they neither know nor want to deal with the imperial court.
But a person with status and strength like Wei Shuya is very aware of the power of the imperial court.
Except for the Western Chu, which had always been weak, no one sect or sect could shake the power of the imperial court, whether it was the Eastern Qi or the Northern Yan.
Chu Xiu nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Wei, for the tip."
Wei Shuya waved his hand and said nothing more.
In his opinion, Chu Xiu is a smart man. Although sometimes Chu Xiu acts a little too radical and risky, this is the way he acts. Chu Xiu still has a sense of proportion. These recent things have proved all this.
After saying goodbye and leaving, Chu Xiu went straight to the meeting hall. At this time, a middle-aged warrior wearing a black python robe was playing with a tea cup in the hall, as if he was studying the patterns on it.
There was still scalding hot tea in the teacup, but under his inner strength, no matter how he played with it, not a drop of tea in the teacup flowed out.
This man was Xiang Wu, the Marquis of Linping who was sent by Xiang Long to intercept Huangfu's ancestor in the past. He was the most talented person among the Xiang family royal family.
Seeing Chu Xiu come in at this time, Xiang Wu immediately put down his tea cup and looked at Chu Xiu unscrupulously, as if he was looking at something strange.
Chu Xiu didn't say anything. He just looked at Xiang Wu and said calmly: "Why are you looking at me like this? Is there a flower on my face?"
Xiang Wu shook his head and said: "You are much rarer than flowers.
To be honest, I really didn't expect you to survive this disaster.
It seems that His Majesty has a long-term vision and does not engage in loss-making business."
After finishing speaking, Xiang Wu's expression suddenly became solemn and he said: "Chu Xiu, it's time to fulfill the promise you made to His Majesty in the past. Your Majesty asked me to remind you so that you don't forget."
Chu Xiu said with a faint smile: "If I really forget, what will your Majesty do?"
Xiang Wu chuckled and said, "What do you think His Majesty sent me to do? If you really forget, then Your Majesty will ask me to remind you in my own way."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't worry, I, Chu Xiu, am very particular about trustworthiness in my work. I will not forget what I promised. This time I will take people to Beiyan with the Marquis. Of course, I will give you something."
It’s time to make overall arrangements for the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.”
Xiang Wu waved his hand casually and said: "It's good if you can remember it. You don't have to be in such a hurry. Your Majesty didn't set a date for you. It just so happens that I can stay in the Guanzhong torture hall for one night and prepare to taste the specialties and delicacies of Guanzhong.
.”
Xiang Wu has very strange hobbies.
When other people reach his position and realm, they are basically greedy for power, power and other things, but Xiang Wu is better, his biggest hobby is eating.
But his talent in martial arts is extremely amazing, which makes people feel a little unfair.
After sending Xiang Wu away, Chu Xiu called the Ghost Hand King to give an explanation.
In fact, there is nothing to explain. Now that the Guanzhong torture hall has been stabilized, the most important thing is that Wei Shuya is here to temporarily recover from his injuries, and with a strong man in the True Fire God Refining Realm sitting in charge, Chu Xiu can also feel at ease.
So the next day, Chu Xiu took his people and Xiang Wu to Beiyan.
This time Chu Xiu did not bring too many people. He only brought Tang Ya and other elites from the Qinglong Society and some of his confidants from the Kansai region, who were all relatively strong.
Luo Sancong and Zhao Chengping also brought Chu Xiu, a warrior from the hidden demon lineage.
This group of people is stronger, but their personalities are a bit unruly and not as easy to use as Tang Ya and others.
Moreover, this time Mei Qinglian actually took the initiative to follow, which made Chu Xiu very strange.
Feeling Chu Xiu's strange gaze, Mei Qinglian just said lightly: "After so many years, I have long been tired of staying in the Guanzhong torture hall. Now it would be good to find a chance to go out for some fresh air.
Besides, I’m here to help you. Don’t forget that you have many enemies in Beiyan. Aren’t you afraid that someone is plotting against you secretly?”
Chu Xiu smiled and said with a cold look on his lips: "They should be the ones to be afraid of."
Before Mei Qinglian said anything, Xiang Wu, who was walking silently on the side, suddenly came over and said: "You are very confident, but the Beiyan Wulin is not that easy to solve. What kind of alliance did you join to strangle you?
It’s just part of it.”
Chu Xiu glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty is anxious."
Xiang Wu was stunned and said: "What did you say?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "Compared to me, the person who is really worried should be Your Majesty.
The Beiyan Martial Arts Alliance is trying to kill me. So many people have gathered in just a few days. Daguangming Temple sent a person to say a word that is more effective than His Majesty. If I were Your Majesty, I would be anxious too.
Otherwise, with His Majesty’s character, he would not send you to find me specially. It can be seen that for His Majesty, any force is very important now.”
Xiang Wu was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and said: "Sometimes it's not good for people to understand too well. It's okay if you say this in front of me. I don't like snitching. If you say it in front of His Majesty, then wait.
Bad luck."
After saying that, Xiang Wu also gave Chu Xiu a banana and said: "Eat more bananas and talk less."
After finishing speaking, Xiang Wu rode his horse directly to the other side and stopped talking to Chu Xiu.
Mei Qinglian raised her eyebrows and said: "Linping Hou Xiang Wu's reputation is very great in the Northern Yan court. Where does this guy come from, and which side is he on?"
Chu Xiu said lightly: "He doesn't stand on either side, he just stands on his own side. This is a smart man. He may seem absurd and confused, but he understands better than anyone else, whether in the court or in the world.
Among them, Xiang Wu can do well."
Mei Qinglian looked at Chu Xiu with a little surprise. She knew that Chu Xiu was still a little arrogant. It was not easy for this martial art to be evaluated like this by Chu Xiu.
After arriving at the capital of Beiyan, this time Chu Xiu did not enter through the small gate, but was led in through the main gate by Xiang Wu. And only Mei Qinglian was qualified to enter with Chu Xiu, and the others were arranged
It's outside.
It was still in the side hall where Chu Xiu met Xiang Long last time, but this time in addition to Xiang Long, there was an old man standing next to him who exuded a gloomy aura and wore an evil Taoist robe.
"I've met your Majesty." Chu Xiu and Mei Qinglian just bowed their hands in a symbolic gesture.
Xiang Long waved his hand and said: "Chu Xiu, you are finally here. This time you did not disappoint me. You survived this time, which means that my previous choice was not wrong.
I helped you at the beginning, and now it’s time for you to help me. I won’t say any more nonsense. This is Beiyan’s Imperial Preceptor and my confidant, the headmaster of the Yinshan Sect, Wushang Taoist Priest.
, regarding the Beiyan Wulin matter, I plan to leave it to you two."
Chu Xiu hadn't said anything yet, but when Mei Qinglian, who was standing behind him, heard the words "Yinshan Sect", she looked at the Taoist Wushang with a look of surprise.
