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

"Greetings, Elder Sword."

Yan Bingyun and the other six bowed respectfully to Sword Elder.

only……

Yan Bingyun and the other six had a vague sense of foreboding in their hearts.

When they came out of the Sword Inquiry Tower, apart from Sword Elder, they only saw Chu Xiu.

None of the other challengers showed up.

Sword Elder looked at Yan Bingyun and the other six with an indifferent expression, without saying a word.

They were moved out of the Sword Inquiry Tower by Chu Xiu, and he moved them out separately.

Sword Elder had already guessed that there was likely some hatred between them and Chu Xiu.

If someone has a grudge against their master, then they are an enemy!

"Primordial Spirit Sword Seal!"

Chu Xiu slowly raised his right hand and pointed at Yan Bingyun and the other six.

Golden sword imprints appeared in the sky and flew rapidly toward Yan Bingyun and his group of six.

"My lord, please wait!"

Upon seeing Chu Xiu make a move, Yan Bingyun's expression changed drastically, and she shouted urgently.

The six monks, including Jingxin, were eager to make a move.

but!

They found themselves completely unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the primordial spirit sword imprints hurtled towards them.

You must know that Chu Xiu has now become the master of the Myriad Swords Pavilion Secret Realm. Within the Myriad Swords Pavilion Secret Realm, he is a true god!

He could use the power of the entire Myriad Swords Pavilion secret realm to kill Yan Bingyun and the other six people in the blink of an eye.

However, Chu Xiu would not kill Yan Bingyun and the other six; instead, he would turn them into his sword guards.

call out!call out!call out!

In an instant!

One by one, the primordial spirit sword imprints disappeared into the sea of ​​consciousness of Yan Bingyun and the other six.

Their gazes toward Chu Xiu became incredibly respectful, devoid of any hostility.

"The Primordial Spirit Sword Seal is indeed terrifying!"

Chu Xiu said with a look of amazement, "No wonder the Myriad Swords Pavilion was attacked by all sides back then."

“Master is right. Once the primordial spirit sword imprint is planted, even those who are mortal enemies will instantly show the utmost respect to Master.”

"They will do whatever their master tells them to do."

"It is precisely because of the terrifying power of our Myriad Swords Pavilion's Primordial Spirit Sword Seal that we have brought about such a great disaster."

Upon hearing this, Elder Jian paused for a moment, sighed, and said...

With a thought, Chu Xiu released the six people, including Yan Bingyun, from the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion's secret realm.

"Meet the master."

Yan Bingyun and the other six knelt down before Chu Xiu and greeted him respectfully.

"Get up."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Master."

Yan Bingyun and the other six spoke with respectful expressions.

"Yan Bingyun, you are a disciple of the Pudu Sword Sect. Does your sect send you to roam the world in order to find the true emperor and restore order to the world?"

Chu Xiu's lips curled into a playful smile as he looked at Yan Bingyun and said.

"The Pudu Sword Sect?"

Sword Elder's face darkened, and he looked at Yan Bingyun with hostility, seemingly filled with disgust for the Pudu Sword Sect.

The gazes of Monk Jingxin and the others also turned to Yan Bingyun.

As true disciples of Wanfo Temple and Wushang Micheng Temple, they naturally couldn't be unaware of what Pudu Sword Sect had been doing all along.

"Yes, Master."

"We, the Pudu Sword Sect, believe that the world is about to descend into chaos."

"To prevent the people from falling into the suffering of war and the devastation of life, we, the Pudu Sword Sect, have come out of seclusion to seek out the true Son of Heaven and restore order to the world."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bingyun spoke respectfully.

"Tell me, who did your Pudu Sword Sect choose this time?"

"I know that your Pudu Sword Sect's so-called search for the true Son of Heaven has always been just a pretext."

“You’ve already chosen the right people from the very beginning.”

Chu Xiu smiled calmly and looked at Yan Bingyun.

The reason I wanted to find out who this person was from Yan Bingyun was because...

That's because the sooner you know, the sooner you can solve the problem!

This person, or someone initially chosen by the Pudu Sword Sect, certainly wouldn't rebel from the start.

They will not do what it takes to be a pioneer for the king.

Therefore, even when the Great Zhou Dynasty began to disintegrate and fell into chaos, these people would still appear to be loyal ministers and generals on the surface.

Only when the world is in complete chaos and they have gained enough power will they be able to sweep across the land, conquer all directions, and settle the world in one fell swoop!

Knowing this beforehand, even if he couldn't get evidence to expose the person's true colors, he could still trip him up and prevent them from taking advantage of him.

"Reporting to the master, our Pudu Sword Sect has chosen Zhao Anmin, the second son of Zhao Yan, the governor of Youzhou."

Yan Bingyun replied without hesitation.

"Zhao Anmin?"

"The Zhao family of Liaodong?"

“That’s interesting. This does align with the interests of your Pudu Sword Sect.”

"If I remember correctly, the Zhao family of Liaodong and your Pudu Sword Sect have been friends for generations."

"So it's quite normal that you support the Zhao family of Liaodong and chose Zhao Yan's second son."

"But why was the second son chosen instead of Zhao Yan's eldest son, the governor of Youzhou?"

A glint of light flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes as he spoke in a deep voice.

Zhao Yan, the governor of Youzhou, had two legitimate sons.

The eldest son was Zhao Jishi, and the second son was Zhao Anmin.

It was chosen with the intention of bringing peace and prosperity to the people.

The names of the two men alone reveal just how much Zhao Yan valued his two sons.

Besides these two legitimate sons, Zhao Yan also had seven or eight other sons.

However, all of these sons were illegitimate sons.

It poses no threat to the two legitimate sons.

Now, in conjunction with the Pudu Sword Sect, Zhao Anmin has been chosen.

In addition, there is the idiom "to save the world and bring peace to the people".

Chu Xiu always felt that the Zhao family of Liaodong was somewhat similar to the Li family of Longxi!

The Li family of Longxi is one of the five surnames and seven prominent families, and also one of the eight great families of Guanzhong.

The Zhao clan of Liaodong in the Great Zhou Dynasty is also one of the Five Surnames and Seven Noble Families.

Zhao Anmin was not the eldest son, and he also gained the recognition of the Pudu Sword Sect, which was similar to Cihang Jingzhai.

"Reporting to the master, our Pudu Sword Sect believes that Zhao Jishi, the eldest son of the Zhao family of Liaodong, is humble, polite, and has a benevolent and righteous character. He is a kind and virtuous gentleman."

"The second son, Zhao Anmin, is decisive and ruthless, and possesses great talent and ambition!"

"In the eyes of our Pudu Sword Sect, Zhao Jishi is suited to be a sage ruler in times of peace and prosperity, while Zhao Anmin is suited to be a powerful ruler in times of chaos."

After considering for a moment, Yan Bingyun spoke to Chu Xiu with a serious expression.

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Yan Bingyun, saying, "Yan Bingyun, who is the current Holy Maiden of your Pudu Sword Sect? What is her strength?"

"Reporting to the master, the current Holy Maiden of our Pudu Sword Sect is named Tantai Mingyue."

"Her cultivation level has reached the peak of the ninth level of the Celestial Realm."

"She is the most talented and beautiful saintess in the history of our Pudu Sword Sect."

"The Holy Maiden should not be born so soon. She should reach the Human Immortal Realm before she can truly be born."

Yan Bingyun said with a solemn expression, "However, although the Holy Maiden's cultivation level has not yet reached the Human Immortal realm, her strength is very likely already at the Human Immortal level."

I overheard one of our Pudu Sword Sect elders say that she is no longer a match for the Holy Maiden.

This elder was a true immortal being!
