ps: Thanks to the book friend Jiu Shi Meng for the reward of 10,000 starting coins
Chu Xiu stared at the man indifferently and said in a calm voice: "Tell me everything you know. I don't want to waste time."
The man trembled and looked at Chu Xiu: "If I tell you, can Mr. Chu spare my life?"
Chu Xiu said calmly: "First, you are not qualified to negotiate terms with me now. Second, I can't even be bothered to lie to you for a character like yours. Do you think I will make any promise to you? Third, you just need to know, If you don't tell me, you will die in an ugly way, and that's enough."
The man became cold all over and did not dare to talk nonsense anymore. He trembled and said: "After Mr. Chu killed Nie Dongliu, the village owner... ah no! It was Nie Renlong who wanted to search for your traces. So I forcibly invited Yuan Jili, a master of divination from the land of Beiyan, to divine your whereabouts.
However, something seemed to have gone wrong during the divination process. Yuan Ji vomited blood on the spot and said you were a non-existent person. Anyway, it was very strange.
I really don’t know the rest, sir, just treat me like a fart and let it go!”
The man was crying and frightened to death.
If he really did something outrageous and outrageous, it would be fine if he was killed, and his life would be considered worthwhile.
But if he died purely because of his bad mouth, then he would not be willing to go to hell.
Chu Xiu frowned, what do you mean by someone who shouldn't exist?
"Then where is Yuan Ji now?"
The man quickly said: "In Xichu!
After Yuan Ji deduced your whereabouts, sir, he immediately fled to Xichu. Nie Renlong later tried to find him, but failed to find him."
Chu Xiu pondered for a moment. In the man's increasingly frightened eyes, Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go."
The man suddenly felt relieved and ran out in a hurry.
After encouraging and praising Shen Changming, Chu Xiu thought about it for a while and prepared to go to Xichu to meet Yuan Ji.
Chu Xiu has long wanted to study the secrets about himself, but unfortunately he has never had a clue.
Now that he finally got some clues, Chu Xiu was also ready to investigate.
After explaining to Mei Qinglian and others, Chu Xiu went to Xichu alone.
It's not that he doesn't want to take others with him, but that Xichu is not his territory and there is no point in taking so many people there.
Moreover, the land of Xichu is now a bit chaotic and too dangerous. Bringing too many people will be a burden.
Right now, the most chaotic place in the world is Xi Chu.
With the rise of the Moon Worship Sect, Ye Shaonan made a high-profile move, defeating the Longhushan Laotian Master and the divine monk Rama of the Subhuti Monastery. The leader of the Tianmen Sect, Jun Wushen, did not easily set foot in the world, and the Zizai God, Zhong Shenxiu, and Shenlong disappeared. Under the premise of ending, Ye Shaonan is the strongest existence in the world today.
In order to prevent the demonic lineage from rising again, forces such as the Daguangming Temple have moved westward to curb the development of the Moon Worship Sect.
So the most chaotic situation in the world right now is Xi Chu. There are many experts gathered here, and the situation is very tense and on the verge of breaking out.
………………
The Jiangzhou Prefecture of Western Chu is just a small prefecture. It should be said that there are no big cities in the whole of Western Chu. At most, they are small prefectures like this.
Jiangzhou Prefecture is famous because it is close to Longhu Mountain, so it is relatively famous.
Generally, most of the tourists who come to Longhu Mountain to offer incense or the warriors who come to Tianshi Mansion live in Jiangzhou Mansion.
However, with the closure of Longhu Mountain and the disappearance of both the tourists offering incense and the warriors who came to visit, Jiangzhou Prefecture is no longer as prosperous as before.
At this time, in a wine shop in the streets and alleys of Jiangzhou Prefecture, a group of Jianghu Sanxiu took shelter from the rain and rested here.
Western Chu is humid and rainy, and this kind of weather is very common. Naturally, these casual warriors who are wandering around the rivers and lakes do not have teachers to supervise their practice like those warriors from sects, so they are too lazy to hide at home and practice hard at this time. Instead, they chat here.
Talking about some gossip.
"Brothers, have you heard that the Moon Worshiping Sect seems to have started fighting with those righteous sects recently? I heard it's pretty fierce."
"Of course I heard about it. It is said that the high priest of the Moon Worshiping Cult took action and cursed to death a martial arts master from the Chunyang Dao Sect in a single encounter. Tsk, tsk, that one was so tragic that before the person could even react, he had already turned into a corpse.
Mummy."
"However, those righteous sects are not vegetarians. I heard that there was an ancestor who buried the sword with his body in Fengyun Sword Tomb. He had already decided not to leave the world again and just left with the sword. But at this time, he also carried the sword with him.
Holding a broken sword, he decided to go out and fight Ye Shaonan."
"The same goes for the Zhenwu Sect. It is said that there is an ancestor in the Zhenwu Sect who has received guidance from the 'immortal' Ning Xuanji and is also preparing to leave."
"Really or not? Have you received advice from Ning Xuanji? Then wouldn't this person be over five hundred years old? Apart from the old Heavenly Master, can anyone of such an older generation be found in the world?"
"Who knows? But the foundation of those righteous sects must be extraordinary. Our Western Chu martial arts community may be uneasy."
"Whatever, I've been having bad luck lately. I'm going to find Master Yuan Ji to figure out whether I've messed with something dirty."
"Master Yuan Ji offers such a high price, can you afford it?"
"Hey, the Tianshi Mansion has been closed recently, and there are fewer pilgrims and warriors coming and going. Master Yuan Ji's price is much cheaper than before."
While chatting, a voice suddenly came: "Where is the Yuan Ji you are talking about?"
As the voice came, everyone present was immediately startled.
At some unknown time, a young man in black robes, with a long black knife on his waist, stopped outside the wine shop and looked at them.
It was still raining heavily outside, but when the raindrops fell on him, they automatically separated their directions, as if the raindrops had spirituality and were deliberately avoiding him.
The most shocking thing is that there is no breath coming from his body at all, which makes people feel shocked.
Although these wandering cultivators are weak, they are not idiots. This man is a master among masters at first glance. They stood up quickly and said respectfully: "Master Yuan Ji is in the Taoist temple at the foot of Longhu Mountain. This gentleman uses
Don’t you need me to lead the way for you?”
"Thank you, no need."
After the words fell, the young man in black robe took one step forward, but seemed to shrink to an inch. In an instant, he appeared more than ten feet away, and disappeared into the rain in a few steps.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The pressure placed on them by such a strong man was simply too much.
But then everyone became a little confused. With such a level of cultivation at such a young age, this person must not be an unknown person.
Someone suddenly said loudly: "I remembered! He is Chu Xiu, the Chu Xiu of the Hidden Demon lineage!
But I heard that he is now cooperating with the Beiyan court to establish the Zhenwu Hall to suppress the Beiyan martial arts, and he has just defeated several major sword sects in Wei County, why is he in Western Chu?"
From being first on the Dragon and Tiger list to being ranked on the Most Popular list, Chu Xiu is no longer an unknown person. Without deliberately concealing his appearance, it is normal for him to be recognized by others.
Several people in the wine shop looked at each other and shook their heads.
These people are more concerned about Jianghu gossip, and they probably know the relationship between Chu Xiu's Hidden Demon lineage and the Moon Worship Sect.
Therefore, although they are both members of the demonic path, Chu Xiu's demons are different from those of the Yue Worship Sect.
Now that Chu Xiu appears here, it gives them a feeling that the West Chu Jianghu is more chaotic.
Of course, it has nothing to do with them, the lowest-level casual cultivators. Dingtian just gives them some talking points.
At this time, after Chu Xiu got the exact news from Yuan Ji, he also headed in the direction of Longhu Mountain.
In fact, Chu Xiu appeared in the wine shop just now after listening to the gossip they had been talking about for a long time.
Although Chu Xiu had already inquired about things in Xichu before coming, the situation in Xichu was changing rapidly at the moment. Naturally, the things that Chu Xiu found out were not as clear as those local snakes in Xichu.
He also did not expect that the martial arts situation in the land of Xichu had become so intense that almost all the martial arts sects had already revealed their trump cards, as if the second war between good and evil was about to break out.
However, these have nothing to do with him. In fact, he still hopes that the Moon Worship Sect will continue to be strong.
Without the Moon Worshiping Cult to attract firepower on the bright side, warriors like them from the Hidden Demon lineage would not have it so easy.
There are many Taoist temples at the foot of Longhu Mountain. These Taoist temples do not belong to the lineage of Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, but they are all members of the Taoist sect who are close to Tianshi Mansion. If a Taoist temple is opened here, one represents closeness to, and even submission to, Heaven.
Another meaning of the Master's Mansion is that you can get the protection of the Tianshi Mansion, and by the way, you can enjoy the incense of the Tianshi Mansion.
Yuan Ji's Taoist temple is among these Taoist temples, and it is very famous.
Although his strength is not that great, Yuan Ji's divination skills are definitely considered outstanding. In a situation where there are very few Taoist warriors like Beiyan, he is the number one divination master, even among the Taoist sects around Tianshi Mansion.
Where there are countless warriors, he is also like this.
Even after coming to Xichu, Yuan Ji was invited by the Tianshi Mansion to discuss and exchange insights on the art of divination within the Tianshi Mansion.
Yuan Ji's Taoist temple has no name, but there are eight characters written on the plaque of the Taoist temple: "Three days will be done, and no plan will be left behind."
This sentence is extremely arrogant, but it can be regarded as his ability to hang it for such a long time without being picked off.
At this time, in the Taoist temple, Yuan Ji was drinking tea with a frown on his face.
It's raining heavily outside, and the Tianshi Mansion has begun to close the mountains again. His business is not doing well.
Normally, Yuan Ji would close the Taoist temple and go to his concubines, Hu Tianhu Di, to see if he could create a villain to break his fate of five shortcomings and three deficiencies.
But today I don’t know why, but there is always an uneasy feeling lingering in my heart.
He put down the tea cup in frustration and wanted to figure out what happened.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the Taoist temple.
"Master Yuan Ji is going to calculate for himself whether he will suffer a bloody disaster today?"
