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

All eyes turned to Lin Huaiyu; they too wanted to know Qin Yan's true strength.

"Reporting to the Marquis, Qin Yan's cultivation level is at the fourth level of the Celestial Realm, Lesser Completion. He cultivates the Peerless Sword Manual of the Number One Manor Under Heaven, the Number One Sword Under Heaven, which is known as one of the top sword techniques in our Great Zhou Dynasty."

"As the second young master of the number one manor in the world, his swordsmanship must have been passed down from the number one swordsman in the world."

"His strength is very likely far above the fourth level of the Celestial Realm, and at the very least, it has reached the sixth level of the Celestial Realm."

Lin Huaiyu considered for a moment and said, "Although this person has always been overshadowed by the brilliance of Qin Feng, the eldest son of the number one manor in the world, his talent and aptitude should not be underestimated."

My subordinate suspects that his strength may have already reached the seventh level of the Celestial Realm!

Otherwise, this man would never dare to challenge the Marquis!

"Seventh level of the Heavenly Man Realm?"

Chu Xiu looked at Dugu Yanyu and said calmly, "Dugu Yanyu, are you confident you can kill this person?"

He wasn't talking about defeating Qin Yan, but about killing Qin Yan!

Anyone who dares to challenge him must be prepared to die.

Otherwise, wouldn't any Tom, Dick, or Harry dare to challenge him?

More importantly, this number one manor in the world is related to the Wang family of Taiyuan by marriage. It can be said that they are deeply bound together by marriage, sharing both prosperity and adversity.

Qin Yan's challenge to him now is very likely an attempt to eliminate him for the sake of the Taiyuan Wang clan.

Otherwise, why would Qin Yan choose to challenge him instead of others?

"Reporting to Your Excellency, I will certainly not let you down!"

Dugu Yanyu said with unwavering determination.

With the help of the Bodhi Enlightenment Pill, he improved his talent and aptitude, and his cultivation level broke through to the fifth level of the Celestial Realm. After arriving at the Embroidered Uniform Guard Headquarters, he selected the Void Codex that Chu Xiu had placed in the armory.

After comprehending the Void Codex, his swordsmanship skills improved even further.

After all, he was one of the most outstanding sword prodigies; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to hold the title of Sword Saint.

However, he has never truly inherited any peerless martial arts techniques.

This is the biggest weakness.

Now that I have comprehended the Void Codex, I have made up for this shortcoming.

He was naturally not afraid of Qin Yan, who had mastered the world's number one sword technique.

His reputation as a sword saint is no less than that of Qin Yan's White Cloud Prince!

Moreover, his cultivation level is above Qin Yan's, so he has even less reason to fear Qin Yan!

"Alright, then you will fight Qin Yan and take his head!"

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and looked at Dugu Yanyu, speaking in a deep voice.

Li Jingtian had already sent someone to inform Dugu Yanyu about his choice of the Void Codex.

The Void Codex is a sword technique related to the spatial arts.

Void is itself a part of space.

Although this Void Codex is not as good as Chu Xiu's Heavenly Escape Sword Technique, it is still a rare and unparalleled spatial sword technique.

With Dugu Yanyu's talent in swordsmanship, he certainly won't be disappointed.

"Yes, sir!"

Dugu Yanyu said in a firm and powerful voice.

"My lord, the number one manor in the world has close ties with the Wang family of Taiyuan. If we kill Qin Yan, will we completely break ties with the Wang family of Taiyuan?"

"Moreover, Qin Yu, the master of the number one manor in the world, has the title of the number one sword god in the world."

"They belong to the most elite level in our entire Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Although the Qin family is the master of the number one manor in the world, they have also taken in a large number of disciples."

"There are many experts in the number one manor under heaven. Once Qin Yan is killed, the number one manor under heaven will definitely not let it go."

"Whether we defeat this person or not is enough. With our current strength, the Embroidered Uniform Guard is probably still a bit lacking to contend with a force like the Number One Manor in the World."

Li Jingtian hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Chu Xiu and said.

Nie Kuangren and the others nodded, showing their agreement.

Although the Wang family of Taiyuan attacked Chu Xiu several times, they always did so in secret. On the surface, there was no hatred between the Wang family of Taiyuan and Chu Xiu.

But killing Qin Yan now would truly mean a complete breakdown in relations.

of course.

The most important thing is to kill Qin Yan. Even if the Wang family of Taiyuan doesn't make a move, the number one manor in the world will definitely do so.

As one of the nine great families in the martial arts world, the strength of the Number One Manor under Heaven is beyond doubt.

This is a true holy land-level power!

Although the Embroidered Uniform Guard had long since offended powerful forces, such as the Wanfo Temple and the Wushang Micheng Temple.

But the ones who were really killed were the pawns of Wanfo Temple and Wushang Micheng Temple, not their most direct disciples.

Although Qin Yan cannot compare with the Buddhist disciples of Wanfo Temple and Wushang Micheng Temple, he is not much different.

"If the number one manor in the world is unwilling to give up so easily, then that's for the best!"

"We can raze the entire Number One Manor in the World to the ground!"

"No matter how strong the number one clan in the world is, can it be stronger than our Great Zhou Dynasty?"

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes as he said with chilling murderous intent, "If our Embroidered Uniform Guard is not strong enough, then we will mobilize the capital garrison to suppress the number one manor in the world!"

"The Beijing Garrison?"

Li Jingtian paused for a moment, looking at Chu Xiu with a bewildered expression.

He guessed that Chu Xiu would go to the palace to meet the emperor and request Empress Murong Si to mobilize the capital's army.

After all, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was a special agency of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It was only natural that the number one manor in the world would dare to take action against the Embroidered Uniform Guard and would send out the capital garrison to suppress them.

This concerns the dignity of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Nie Kuangren and the others felt that Chu Xiu's words meant more than simply requesting Empress Murong Si to mobilize the capital's army.

Chu Xiu flipped his right hand, revealing a tiger tally in his palm. He smiled calmly and said, "His Majesty bestowed upon me the tiger tally to mobilize the capital garrison. I have not yet truly used it. I hope this number one manor in the world will not disappoint me."

"..."

Li Jingtian and the others stared blankly at the tiger tally in Chu Xiu's hand, their faces filled with shock.

Although Nie Kuangren and the others suspected that Chu Xiu's words just now were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

but!

They never expected that Empress Murong Si would trust Chu Xiu to this extent!

This is a tiger tally powerful enough to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire Beijing Garrison!

Compared to this tiger tally, even the rarest treasures are nothing but scrap metal!

Chu Xiu smiled slightly, stood up, and strode towards the outside of the hall, saying as he walked, "Let's go, Qin Yan has been left out for a while, it's time to go out and see him."

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

Li Jingtian and the others then came to their senses and quickly followed, escorting Chu Xiu towards the outside of the Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters.

Less than a moment.

Chu Xiu then led Li Jingtian and the others to the outside of the Jinyiwei headquarters.

"Qin Yan, the number one man in the world, pays his respects to the Marquis."

After waiting outside the Jinyiwei headquarters for nearly a quarter of an hour, Qin Yan was furious that Chu Xiu didn't take him, the second young master of the number one manor in the world, seriously, but on the surface he still bowed politely.

"Qin Yan, do you wish to challenge me?"

Chu Xiu looked at Qin Yan with a calm expression and asked.
