The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

The Xuanwu divine beast's incredibly hard shell shattered completely, turning into countless fragments!

then!

The entire Xuanwu Battle Formation was completely broken!

Sima Feng and three thousand soldiers from Shangdang County separated from the Xuanwu Divine Beast!

only!

All three thousand soldiers coughed up blood and died!

Even Sima Feng, a master whose cultivation had reached the peak of the seventh level of the Immortal Ascension Realm, was no exception!

Not only that!

Sima Yan, along with a group of Wuji Sect experts, all died under Chu Xiu's blade!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

"How could Ananda's Precept-Breaking Knife Technique from Wanfo Temple possibly reach this level..."

Sima Yu's face showed horror, and he cried out in great fear.

As the patriarch of the Sima clan, he had naturally witnessed Ananda's precept-breaking sword technique at Wanfo Temple.

Ananda's Breaking the Precepts Knife Technique is considered an unparalleled martial art within the Wanfo Temple.

However, he felt that the Ananda Breaking the Precepts Knife Technique that Chu Xiu displayed had far exceeded the limits that the Ananda Breaking the Precepts Knife Technique of Wanfo Temple could achieve.

The two are not even the same martial art anymore!

"You have a good eye. This strike of mine is definitely not the Ananda Breaking the Precepts Sword Technique of Wanfo Temple."

Chu Xiu looked at Sima Yu with indifferent eyes and said calmly.

His aura surged once again in that instant.

The killing of so many experts and three thousand county soldiers greatly increased the cultivation level of all the elite Imperial Guards who formed the killing blade formation.

Even the weakest of the elite Imperial Guards had reached the seventh level of the Grandmaster realm!

It even gave birth to a large number of Primordial Spirit Realm True Persons, and even the Dharma Aspect Realm, and even the Immortal Ascension Realm, have been reached by several people.

"Lord Chu, today's matter is just a misunderstanding."

"As long as Lord Chu is willing to let this matter rest, I can grant you any request!"

"Even if it's working for the Embroidered Uniform Guard, it's fine!"

Sima Yu gritted his teeth, feeling that Chu Xiu's aura had become even more terrifying, and his heart grew even more fearful. He cupped his hands in a gesture of respect and said with a sincere expression, "As long as Lord Chu is willing to spare the lives of our Sima family."

"I, and indeed the entire Sima clan, would do anything for Lord Chu!"

He knew very well that the strength Chu Xiu had just displayed was already incredibly terrifying.

He couldn't withstand Chu Xiu's fatal blow that severed Qingjing.

Not to mention that Chu Xiu's strength has improved even further now.

If he dies, the entire Sima clan will be completely finished.

However, if he can survive and preserve the entire Sima clan, even though the Sima clan has lost a great deal of strength today, and most of its experts have died at the hands of Chu Xiu, the Sima clan will still have a chance to rise again.

After all, the Sima clan truly relied on him, their ancestor.

"Let's just drop this matter?"

"Old man, you make it sound so easy!"

"Your Sima clan has plundered the people and created demons within the Wuji Sect. For this alone, the entire Sima clan should be exterminated!"

"You think you can get my life by saying you're willing to do anything for me?"

"Aren't you overthinking this!"

Chu Xiu sneered, staring at Sima Yu with murderous intent, and said in an icy tone.

"Lord Chu, perhaps you cannot stand such things, but if I were to tell you, it is not just my Sima family that is doing this, but many others are doing it too!"

"The Sima family is not the only one colluding with the demon race and creating demons!"

Sima Yu's expression changed drastically, and he said urgently to Chu Xiu, "Lord Chu may be very strong, but the Embroidered Uniform Guard has a sword formation that is no weaker than the battle formations in the army."

But can Lord Chu manage all of this?

"From what you're saying, there are quite a few powerful families like your Sima clan that collude with the demon race?"

A glint of light flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes as he stared at Sima Yu with a sharp gaze as piercing as a sword.

However, he discerned a hidden meaning in Sima Yu's words.

That means the Sima clan was secretly creating demons in Shangdang County and within the Wuji Sect, which was clearly not the intention of the Taiyuan Wang clan.

It was something the Sima family did in secret.

Otherwise, Sima Yu should have pinned all the blame on the Wang family of Taiyuan in order to save his own life.

Ximen Jue's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Sima Yu with a solemn expression.

"Indeed, there are quite a few powerful families who, like our Sima family, collude with the demon race."

"It's not just in the border regions; even powerful families in the heart of our Great Zhou Dynasty have colluded with the demon race."

Seeing Chu Xiu's expression, Sima Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not just the demon race, but also those who collude with the barbarians."

In border regions, such things are extremely common and not at all unusual.

"Then tell me, which powerful families have colluded with the demon race and the barbarian race?"

"If you tell me everything you know, I might consider sparing your life."

"But you'd better tell the truth and not try to randomly name a few powerful families."

"If you dare to play such tricks in front of me, I will kill you right now!"

Chu Xiu said calmly.

"This one……"

"Lord Chu, although I know that many powerful families have colluded with the demon race or the barbarian race."

"But those who do these things are extremely careful and don't easily let outsiders know about them."

"Just like our Sima family, no one has ever known about us."

Sima Yu looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before saying, "However, I am willing to investigate this matter secretly for Lord Chu. With my strength, I am sure I can find out which powerful families are doing this in secret."

"So, you actually don't know anything?"

Chu Xiu's face darkened. This old man had been rambling on for so long, and in the end, he didn't even know a single family.

"Lord Chu, with my abilities, as long as I investigate for you, I will definitely be able to find out which company it is!"

Seeing Chu Xiu's expression, Sima Yu panicked and hurriedly explained.

"no need!"

Chu Xiu shook his head, slowly raised the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade in his right hand, and said calmly.

Seeing Chu Xiu raise the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade, Sima Yu's pupils contracted, and he moved swiftly, flying away into the distance, trying to escape.

After all, he couldn't save the Sima clan. If he could escape, he could still rebuild a new Sima clan.

However, having lost the Sima family's accumulation of over a thousand years, they could only become rogue cultivators.

"die!"

Chu Xiu took a step forward and unleashed the Eight Steps of the Void, instantly catching up with Sima Yu and slashing at him with his sword!

With this slash, it seemed as if the entire world had been cleaved in two by Chu Xiu!
