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

"What a fine example of fulfilling one's duty as a subject!"

"If all the officials of our Great Zhou Dynasty could be like the Marquis, the world would be at peace."

Yan Qingfeng sighed and said.

Chu Xiu remained silent.

"Pass down the order: the dishes can be served."

Yan Qingfeng did not continue this topic, but instead spoke to the Imperial Guard Captain.

"Yes."

The Imperial Guard captain responded and turned to leave.

"Please, Your Excellency."

Yan Qingfeng said to Chu Xiu, "We will have our meal in this pavilion today."

"it is good."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and followed Yan Qingfeng to sit down at the stone table in the pavilion.

However, he immediately noticed a book on the stone table.

The Great Immortal-Slaying Sword that Slays Gods and Saints!

Chu Xiu could not possibly be unaware of this astonishing martial arts technique.

Last time, Yan Qingfeng killed Zhang Yue, the commander of Hongnong County, who had already stepped into the realm of human immortals, right in front of Chu Xiu!

This is one of the three great skills of the Imperial Preceptor Qi Tianchen.

"My lord, I've heard that your swordsmanship is also exceptional."

"He wiped out the entire demon army with just one man and one sword."

"My master's Great Immortal-Slaying Sword Technique, which slays gods and saints, can be considered an extremely extraordinary sword technique."

Yan Qingfeng smiled lightly, picked up the God-Slaying and Saint-Killing Immortal-Slaying Sword Manual on the table, handed it to Chu Xiu, and said, "Lord Marquis, you might as well take a look. Perhaps it can give you some insights."

"This……"

Chu Xiu paused for a moment and said, "Lord Yan, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

This "God-Slaying, Saint-Slaying, Immortal-Slaying Sword" is the martial art of the Imperial Preceptor. Without the Imperial Preceptor's permission, I dare not view this "God-Slaying, Saint-Slaying, Immortal-Slaying Sword."

It would be impossible for Chu Xiu to say he had no thoughts about the God-Slaying, Saint-Slaying, Immortal-Killing Sword.

This name alone tells you that this amazing sword technique is definitely the most top-level sword technique in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!

His Heavenly Escape Sword Technique is actually more like an assassin's sword technique.

In a direct confrontation, this God-Slaying, Saint-Slaying, Immortal-Killing Sword is likely to be even more powerful.

"My lord, this God-Slaying, Saint-Killing, Immortal-Slaying Sword was given to me by my master."

"This banquet, in particular, was also arranged at my master's instruction."

Yan Qingfeng smiled and said, "It's just that my master is still in seclusion, so he cannot personally entertain the Marquis."

"My lord, please rest assured and enjoy your reading. This 'God-Slaying, Saint-Slaying, Immortal-Killing Sword' is yours."

"Thank you, Imperial Advisor!"

Chu Xiu then accepted the manual for the God-Slaying, Saint-Slaying, Immortal-Killing Sword, and bowed towards the nine-story main building of the Imperial Observatory to express his gratitude.

Then, Chu Xiu opened the Great Immortal Slayer Sword and began to read it.

He received the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique as a reward from the Positive Energy System, and his mastery of the sword was already extremely profound. Now, when he looked at the God-Slaying and Saint-Killing Great Immortal-Slaying Sword, he naturally understood it.

After a long time.

Chu Xiu then put away the manual for the God-Slaying, Saint-Killing, Immortal-Slaying Sword, and his guess was indeed correct.

This "God-Slaying, Saint-Killing, Immortal-Slaying Sword" is definitely a sword technique with earth-shattering power.

However, he only grasped a sliver of the true meaning.

After all, this "God-Slaying, Saint-Slaying, Immortal-Killing Sword" is too profound and unfathomable; it cannot be comprehended in such a short time.

"My lord, I saw you were focused on comprehending the sword technique, so I didn't say anything. Now the food is getting cold. Come, my lord, try the food from our Imperial Observatory and see if it suits your taste."

Yan Qingfeng pointed to the dishes on the table, each one a feast for the eyes and the palate, and said to Chu Xiu.

"Alright, then I'll try the food from the Imperial Observatory."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly, picked up his chopsticks, and began to taste.

After only a small taste, Chu Xiu was full of praise. It wasn't that he was trying to flatter him, but rather that the food at the Imperial Observatory was indeed excellent.

After the two finished their meal, they discussed the God-Slaying, Saint-Slaying, Immortal-Killing Sword, and then Chu Xiu took his leave.

Actually, it couldn't really be called an exchange. It was Yan Qingfeng who gave Chu Xiu a few pointers, which made him suddenly understand and gain a lot of insight into the God-Slaying and Saint-Killing Great Immortal-Slaying Sword.

"Your understanding is indeed extraordinary, Lord Marquis."

Yan Qingfeng watched Chu Xiu's departing figure and said with a look of amazement.

"It's more than just extraordinary."

"Absolutely astonishing!"

"A true peerless swordsman!"

The voice of the Imperial Advisor Qi Tianchen rang out beside Yan Qingfeng.

"teacher."

When Yan Qingfeng saw Qi Tianchen appear, he bowed to him and said hello.

"If I am not mistaken, his God-Slaying, Saint-Slaying, Immortal-Slaying Sword technique has truly entered the realm of mastery."

"I'm not far from reaching the Lesser Completion stage."

Qi Tianchen said calmly.

"???"

Yan Qingfeng looked on in astonishment, staring at Qi Tianchen in disbelief.

It took him three days to get started, and a month to go from beginner to proficient.

Even so, he can still be considered a genius.

Chu Xiu has only been here a short time, yet he has already mastered the basics and is not far from reaching the Lesser Chengdu level. What kind of comprehension is this?

"Don't look at me like that. His comprehension is indeed much better than yours."

Qi Tianchen said calmly.

"..."

Yan Qingfeng felt deeply defeated.

The next day.

Danyang Prefecture, the prefectural capital.

In a courtyard.

Chu Xiu was holding the God-Slaying, Saint-Slaying, Immortal-Slaying Sword and watching.

After leaving the Imperial Observatory yesterday, he went to the city of Danyang County.

The courtyard where he now lives was arranged for him by secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in Danyang County.

Even the commander of the Imperial Guard in Danyang County was unaware that Chu Xiu had arrived in Danyang County from the capital.

Swish!

A middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion, dressed in brocade robes, and resembling a nouveau riche, walked in in a flustered manner, knelt down before Chu Xiu, and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord Marquis."

"No gift."

Chu Xiu said without looking up.

This middle-aged man in brocade robes appeared to be a landlord and gentry in Danyang County, but in reality, he was Yu Yuan, the head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in Danyang County, who was in charge of intelligence.

Typically, the head of the secret agents in a prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty belonged to the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) General Banner.

The head of the secret agents in a prefecture was the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

It is exactly half a rank lower than the officially recognized Hundred Households and Thousand Households.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Yu Yuan slowly stood up and whispered to Chu Xiu, "Reporting to the Marquis, something has happened!"

"What happened?"

Chu Xiu flipped his right hand and put the manual into the system's storage space. He looked at Yu Yuan calmly and asked.

"My lord, news of your arrival in Danyang County has already been leaked."

"Now the news of your trip to the Wanjian Pavilion ruins has spread throughout Danyang County and even Yangzhou."

"Although these people don't know where you live yet."

"However, I am worried that there may be someone with ulterior motives waiting for you outside the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion ruins, my lord!"

"My lord, do you think we should abandon our plan to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion ruins?"

"Or perhaps we could dispatch the Shocking Guard from our Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters to protect the Marquis's safety?"

Yu Yuan took a deep breath to calm himself down and said with a worried expression, "I am worried that even if you enter the Wanjian Pavilion ruins safely, there will be many experts waiting for you outside the ruins when you come out."

The Marquis's safety is of paramount importance; we must not be careless!
