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

"Reporting to the Marquis, there is only one person at the Supreme Esoteric Temple."

“A monk named Kumokong.”

"This monk, Kumarajiva, is a disciple of Vajra Sage, one of the four great monks of the Supreme Tantric Temple."

"This person's strength is definitely no less than that of Monk Jingxin."

Lin Huaiyu said without hesitation.

"Besides the Supreme Tantric Temple and the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, who else are there that are quite powerful geniuses?"

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and looked at Lin Huaiyu, asking a question.

His Imperial Guards did not completely exclude disciples from sects.

However, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had to conduct a thorough investigation before recruiting anyone.

If we can snatch people from the sects this time and bring their peerless geniuses, or even their most outstanding disciples, into our fold, it would be an extraordinary achievement.

Not all members of a sect are necessarily wicked.

There are also some righteous sects that truly uphold justice.

However, there are relatively few sects of this kind.

Chu Xiu's intention to suppress sects is not to suppress all sects.

He simply wanted to eliminate the sects that were sucking the life out of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As for the other sects, as long as they are willing to serve the Great Zhou Dynasty, he can retain them as well.

However, all sects that remain must be able to serve the Great Zhou Dynasty and do things for it.

If it cannot do this, then it has no reason to exist.

"Reporting to the Marquis, this time, the Imperial Guard has collected seven peerless geniuses in Danyang County, excluding those from Wanfo Temple and Wushang Micheng Temple."

"They are Qin Xiao, a true disciple of the Lingtian Sword Sect; Jiang Yuntian, a true disciple of the Taixu Sect; Murong Qingcheng, a true disciple of the Baihua Sect; Nangong Yao, a true disciple of the Xuanyin Temple; and Mo Qingyun, a true disciple of the Fenglei Pavilion."

"The last two are Gu Jingfeng and Yang Jiong."

"Qin Xiao and the other four all came from sects, among which the Lingtian Sword Sect and the Taixu Sect are even holy land-level forces."

"Lingtian Sword Sect belongs to the holy land of swordsmanship, while Taixu Sect belongs to the holy land of Taoism."

"Only Gu Jingfeng and Yang Jiong rose from humble beginnings. Both of them had some fortuitous encounters, and with these fortuitous encounters, they rose all the way up to the Celestial Realm level."

"And neither of them is more than fifty years old!"

Lin Huaiyu said with a solemn expression.

"interesting."

"Do you have their details?"

Chu Xiu said with a look of great interest on his face.

"My lord, I have gathered detailed information on the seven of them."

Lin Huaiyu took out a Book of Impermanence from his sleeve, handed it to Chu Xiu, and said.

Chu Xiu took the Book of Impermanence and began to read it carefully.

Murong Qingcheng and Nangong Yao are both women.

Moreover, both of them are indeed exceptionally talented.

Although their sects were not as prestigious as those of the Holy Lands, their talents and aptitudes were in no way inferior to those of disciples from many Holy Land-level forces.

The character traits of the seven individuals are described within the text.

"Very well, I understand."

"I will personally go to Danyang County to see the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and said.

"My lord, would you like to take the Sky Guard to Danyang County?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Huaiyu asked respectfully.

"I do not intend to take the Shocking Guard to Danyang County."

"It is enough for me to go to Danyang County alone."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said.

"My lord, will something unexpected happen if you travel to Danyang County alone?"

Lin Huaiyu's expression changed drastically, and he said urgently, "My lord, in my opinion, it would be better to select a thousand elite soldiers from the Jingtian Guard to accompany you to Danyang County."

Now that Chu Xiu has single-handedly wiped out the demon army with his sword, many powerful families in the Great Zhou Dynasty must already be wary of him.

Once they know he has left the capital, these powerful families who want him dead will certainly not let such a golden opportunity pass them by.

Because within the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, it was definitely not just Murong Zhi who was creating demons and plotting a rebellion.

And these people probably won't dare to make any more rash moves before they get rid of Chu Xiu.

In addition, there are the Wang family of Taiyuan, Wanfo Temple, and Wushang Micheng Temple, who have always been eyeing Chu Xiu covetously.

"Don't worry, I never do anything I'm not sure of. Even if they're watching me, I'm not afraid."

Chu Xiu smiled calmly and said in an unquestionable tone, "You may leave now, and also have Li Jingtian come to see me."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Lin Huaiyu hesitated for a moment, bowed to Chu Xiu, and then turned and left.

Less than a moment.

Swish!

Li Jingtian appeared out of thin air in the hall and bowed to Chu Xiu, saying, "Greetings, Lord Marquis."

He had clearly learned from Lin Huaiyu that Chu Xiu had been appointed as the Marquis of Champion.

Therefore, they were not surprised that Chu Xiu had changed into the flying fish robe.

"No gift."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said to Li Jingtian.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Li Jingtian thanked him and said.

"Li Jingtian, I will be heading to Danyang County in Yangzhou shortly. During my absence from the capital, you will be in charge of all affairs of our Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Chu Xiu said calmly.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingtian spoke solemnly.

"These are twenty-seven bottles of Taiyi Golden Elixir."

"Each bottle contains one Taiyi Golden Pill."

"You will distribute them to the officials at the commander level of the Embroidered Uniform Guard General Headquarters."

"That's enough for every commander of our Embroidered Uniform Guard in the capital to have one."

"Remember, those who have taken the Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Pill before do not need to take the Taiyi Golden Pill again."

"Only a thousand households who have never taken the Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Elixir can possess it."

"To avoid waste."

Chu Xiu pointed to the twenty-seven white porcelain bottles neatly arranged on the table and said to Li Jingtian.

After Lin Huaiyu left, he not only changed into a flying fish robe and put the other two flying fish robes into the system storage space, but also took out all the remaining twenty-seven Taiyi Golden Pills.

The Heavenly Guard, the Divine Guard, and the Immortal Guard totaled nine thousand people.

However, the three commanders, Fang Heng, Pei Shiji, and Luo Tianxi, had already taken the Wanfo Golden Pill, so even if they took the Taiyi Golden Pill, it would have no effect.

Therefore, these three chieftains together make up nine commanders of a thousand households.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters had five thousand-household units, the Northern Garrison Command had fifteen thousand-household units, and the Southern Garrison Command had five thousand-household units.

In total, there are twenty-nine thousand-household offices.

but!

Yang Cheng, who was in charge of the Dragon Tiger Medicinal Bath, and Lin Huaiyu, who was in charge of intelligence, had also taken the Ten Thousand Buddha Golden Pill.

Not only Yang Cheng, but now Lin Huaiyu has also been transferred by Chu Xiu to the Jinyiwei General Headquarters.

He was in charge of intelligence for the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Therefore, the two of them actually occupied two of the five positions of commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Besides being in charge of the Dragon Tiger Medicinal Bath and intelligence, the two of them actually each commanded a thousand-household unit.

Therefore, only twenty-seven people truly need the Taiyi Golden Elixir.

Chu Xiu had twenty-seven Taiyi Golden Pills left, one for each person.
