Chapter nine hundred and sixty-eight desire for rights
Ye Xiao's choice did not go beyond Chu Xiu's expectations. Although the competition in Zhenwu Hall was great, he also had the most opportunities.
But now Ye Xiao still needs to temporarily hide his appearance and identity, at least for the recent period.
Otherwise, Chunyang Daomen and Daguangming Temple will definitely go crazy if they know that they have been tricked.
Of course, Chunyang Daomen and Daguangming Temple are still going crazy now, and the fighting is fierce.
Shouzhenzi was so old and strong that he single-handedly severely wounded two eminent monks of the Jing generation in Daguangming Temple.
But Xiyunzi suffered a loss.
Holding the divine weapon Chun Yang, Xi Yunzi's strength is enough to challenge ordinary warriors in the realm of true fire refining gods.
But the problem is that Xuyan is unusual. He is the head of the martial arts academy of Daguangming Temple. Even if he has just entered the realm of true fire god refining, his strength is not comparable to that of ordinary warriors, so Xiyunzi also suffered a lot of trauma.
In general, Chunyang Daomen suffered the greater loss in this battle, as their numbers were smaller after all.
After the first battle, both sides were in a lose-lose situation. Basically, no one could cause trouble for Chu Xiu anymore, unless Daguangming Temple or Chunyang Daomen sent another team to Beiyan.
It’s just that this situation is unlikely. The sub-rudder is always the sub-rudder. Taoism and Buddhism came to Beiyan not to fight to the death with Chu Xiu, nor to fight to the death with the other side. For a sub-rudder, they have to bet their entire life.
The power of the sect was unleashed with all its might, and none of the leaders of Taoism and Buddhism would be so impulsive.
The Taoist and Buddhist pulses finally subsided, and Chu Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Daguangming Temple and Chunyang Daomen are just minor troubles caused by Xiang Long. The real troubles will have to wait until Xiang Long's death and the succession to the throne.
With Xiang Chong's current character, if he is allowed to ascend the throne, Chu Xiu will definitely fall out with him. Although he may not lose, if he can challenge the Northern Yan court, the foundation of Chu Xiu Zhenwu Hall can be said to be completely ruined.
Lost.
At this time, in Beiyan's palace, Xiang Long was almost exhausted.
Before, Xiang Long could barely stand with the help of others, but in the past month, he has found it difficult to even stand up.
Xiang Chong was standing beside Xiang Long's bed, with a very complicated expression on his face.
It was true that he hated Xiang Long deeply, but after all, he was also his imperial brother. Seeing him looking like he might ascend to heaven someday, Xiang Chong felt a little uncomfortable.
Xiang Long lay on the bed and asked weakly: "What's the situation outside now?"
His eyes were looking straight at the roof. In fact, Xiang Long's eyes could no longer see anything at all.
Xiang Chongdao: "Zhenwutang and Taoist and Buddhist factions are constantly in conflict with each other. Among them, the Taoist and Buddhist factions just had a battle. It was a relatively fierce conflict. Both sides suffered losses."
"Where's the Zhenwu Hall?"
Xiang Chongdao: "This time there was a fierce battle between Taoism and Buddhism because of the disciples. The Zhenwu Hall was not involved in it."
"such a pity."
Xiang Long sighed, if the Zhenwu Hall could also participate in this and all three would be defeated in the end, it would be perfect.
"By the way, how is that child Xiang Chong doing now?"
Although Xiang Long told the outside world that he had no selfish motives in appointing Xiang Chong as the prince, in fact, among so many princes, Xiang Chong was the one he loved most.
If it weren't for Xiang Chong's age, he would have become the prince long ago, so even though Xiang Long could no longer hold on anymore, he still wanted to protect his chosen heir one last time.
Xiang Chong hesitated and said: "It's okay, the power under his command has far exceeded Xiang Li at this time.
It’s just that he has a strong desire for power, and he also likes to use charlatans.”
Xiang Chong said this after he had beautified what Xiang Chong had done countless times.
With Xiang Long's appearance now, it is obvious that he will not live long. It is not a good thing for Bei Yan to ask Xiang Long to change to another prince at this time, and it will more likely cause turmoil in Bei Yan's court.
And looking at Xiang Long's appearance, Xiang Chong couldn't bear to say so many bad things about Xiang Chong.
So after Xiang Long heard this, he just smiled weakly and said: "A person who has a strong desire for power? A person who doesn't have a strong desire for power cannot be the emperor."
As for using Jianghu people, this is not a bad thing. Haven’t I also used Jianghu people?
If you can't tell the difference between Jianghu and Temple, it is better to use them back and forth instead of rejecting and suppressing them.
Chong'er is still too young and may not be doing well in some areas, so we have to rely on you, the elders of the Beiyan Royal Family, to help him."
Xiang Chong nodded slightly with a dark face.
He didn't have the nerve to tell Xiang Chong that he couldn't control his son. Last time he went to teach him a lesson, but the other party turned a deaf ear and obviously didn't take it to heart.
At this time, Xiang Chong is indeed a little bloated. With so many masters and strong men under his command, he does not think that he needs the support of so-called elders like Xiang Chong.
Why didn't I see them supporting me when I was not a prince?
Compared with Xiang Chong's expansion, his subordinate Lin Fengyu was very anxious at this time. The stronger Xiang Chong's subordinates became, the more anxious he became.
Because these abilities were brought to Xiang Chong by Taoist Wushang, but the attention he received was getting lower and lower.
Before, Lin Fengyu and Wushan Taoist were known as the right-hand man of the prince, but now, the gap between the two people has become more and more obvious, which even outsiders can see.
After all, Taoist Wushang had truly attracted so many powerful people to Xiang Chong, and had also helped Xiang Chong solve several difficult problems.
As for Lin Fengyu, what else does he have besides a woman who earns money by eating soft food? He is simply a loser.
This situation made Lin Fengyu, who had always been motivated to follow Xiang Chong to build a career and become a marquis and prime minister, very anxious.
When Li Qiudi saw Lin Fengyu's appearance, she couldn't help but said softly: "Yulang, don't worry about these things, you are just a court eagle and dog, so it's okay.
If you follow me back to the Hidden Demon lineage, the worst case scenario is that I will personally beg Wei Shuya, Qin Chao and others like them to let you start a sect in the Hidden Demon lineage. How about being the head of the sect yourself?"
If other people of the Hidden Demon lineage saw Li Qiudi's appearance, they would definitely be shocked.
Among the hidden demons, Li Qiudi is definitely the most disliked one.
For example, although Yuan Tianfang, who was killed by Chu Xiu before, also had an extreme personality and was unlovable, at least he would not provoke others if there was no conflict of interest.
But Li Qiudi is a woman who is famous for her harsh words. Even a normal conversation can make her angry.
But everyone knows her character. It's not worth it for you to be serious with her, but if you endure it, you will still be angry in your heart.
So as a result, not many people are willing to deal with her.
This gentle way of speaking has never been seen before by Li Qiudi, which shows how powerful love is.
Lin Fengyu said impatiently: "What do you know? Those who are less than one person and more than ten thousand people are not court eagles and dogs, but princes and generals!
If you go to the local rat of the Hidden Demon lineage, you might be targeted and exterminated by those righteous sects at some point, so I won’t go.”
After finishing speaking, Lin Fengyu also felt that his words were a bit harsh, so he quickly changed his tone and said: "That's not what I meant.
It’s just that I have been with His Highness for so many years, and finally, when His Highness is about to ascend the throne, I have to be kicked out, and I am unwilling to do so!”
At this point, Lin Fengyu suddenly raised his head and said: "Tell me, if I help His Highness win part of the power of the Zhenwu Hall, will His Highness be happy? I have heard His Highness scold Chu Xiu more than once for not knowing how to promote others. Already."
Lin Fengyu did not do this on a whim, but based on his own calculations.
The existence of the Zhenwu Hall was first feared by Xiang Long, and then Chu Xiu refused Xiang Chong's solicitation. This made it clear that Chu Xiu had parted ways with the Xiang royal family.
Of course, he didn't have the ability to destroy the Zhenwu Hall, and he didn't dare to think about it. However, taking advantage of the current melee between Taoism, Buddhism, and Demon, he could still take advantage of the Zhenwu Hall, mainly because he could take advantage of Xiang Chong. Happy.
Li Qiudi's expression changed slightly, and he said in a slightly serious tone: "Yulang, if you provoke other people, I can help you stop them, but you must not provoke Chu Xiu."
Li Qiudi has been traveling around the world for a long time, and she has been a boss within the Hidden Demon lineage for most of her time. She is treated respectfully by many of the younger disciples of the Hidden Demon lineage, so Li Qiudi has a very arrogant temper. Even more fearless.
Within the Hidden Demon lineage, whether it was Wei Shuya, who was extremely senior, or Ren Qianqiu, who held a first-class demon power such as the Wuxiang Demon Sect, Li Qiudi had never been afraid.
But the last time in the ancestral land of the Mahakala Demon Sect, Li Qiudi was really scared.
She wasn't afraid of being beaten by Chu Xiu. What she was afraid of was Chu Xiu's attitude. He had no scruples and dared to kill her!
In the past, Li Qiudi had offended many people because of her bad mouth, but no one had any murderous intention towards her.
But the last time in the Mahakala Demon Sect, she was sure that Chu Xiu really dared to kill her and was really prepared to kill her!
If it weren't for the fact that Li Qiudi had the secret technique of Red Lotus Escape from the former Red Lotus Demon Lord, she might have died in Chu Xiu's hands by now.
Therefore, in Li Qiudi's view, Chu Xiu is an out-and-out lunatic at this time. He doesn't care what your status is or what scruples you have, he will just kill you first.
When facing such a person, either you can kill him or don't provoke him.
It can be said that if it were not for Lin Fengyu, the power of love is too great, and Li Qiudi would never want to appear in front of Chu Xiu again in this life.
Hearing what Li Qiudi said, Lin Fengyu's eyes flashed with a strange look, and he nodded and said: "Don't worry, I know the seriousness of it, and I won't provoke that guy Chu Xiu easily."
Li Qiudi nodded with peace of mind, but unfortunately she didn't know that men's promises are often the most unreliable. She suffered losses when she was young, but now she still has no memory.
