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

A beam of dark yellow light shot out from the statue of the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable and landed on Jiang Yun, the governor of Qingzhou.

Boom!

An incomparably powerful aura erupted from Jiang Yun, propelling him from the peak of the third level of the Celestial Realm to the peak of the fourth level.

The statue of Huangtian Shengzun, however, had dimmed and was no different from an ordinary clay statue.

Seeing this scene, tens of thousands of soldiers' eyes shone with fervor. This statue of the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable truly possessed wondrous qualities; the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable was a true deity!

"see it?"

"This general has risen from the peak of the third level of the Celestial Realm to the peak of the fourth level of the Celestial Realm!"

"As long as you hold the statue of the Holy Deity in your heart with utmost reverence and worship it every day, you will be able to receive the opportunity bestowed by the statue of the Holy Deity!"

"If I, the general, can receive the Holy Venerable's reward, then you too can receive the Holy Venerable's reward!"

"When the Holy Venerable descends to earth, it will not be impossible for us to live forever and be indestructible!"

Jiang Yun's face lit up with ecstatic joy, and she burst into laughter.

"Immortal and eternal!"

Tens of thousands of soldiers from the prefecture shouted wildly.

at this time!

A sword light seemed to appear out of thin air on the reviewing stand, slashing down towards the statue of the Yellow Heavenly Saint.

This sword light contains the true meaning of slaying immortals; one sword can slay an immortal!

The statue of the Yellow Heavenly Saint Venerable sensed the terrifying power of the Immortal Slaying True Meaning and immediately transformed into a beam of light, attempting to escape.

Not bad.

It was Chu Xiu who made the move.

He already possessed the Five Elements Escape Technique, plus the true meaning of space.

Even after infiltrating the state army camp, no one noticed.

When his Immortal-Slaying Blade Intent is used with a knife technique, it is a blade intent; when used with a sword technique, it is a sword intent!

To put it bluntly, the essence of both knife intent and sword intent is true intent.

It can be switched at any time.

"presumptuous!"

"Formation!"

Upon seeing the sword light appear, Jiang Yun's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily.

The aura of tens of thousands of soldiers from the prefecture merged with that of Jiang Yun in an instant.

boom!

With this sword strike, the statue of the Yellow Heavenly Saint Venerable was cut down, turned into dust, and disappeared into the world.

but!

Chu Xiu killed the statue of the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable, but then vanished into thin air.

Having formed the Vermilion Bird Battle Formation and transformed into an enormous Vermilion Bird divine beast, Jiang Yun's eyes were icy cold. He had originally intended to rely on the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable statue to step into the Celestial Realm, but in the end, he only reached the peak of the fourth level of the Celestial Realm before the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable statue was destroyed by Chu Xiu.

"Chu Xiu, come out!"

"This general knows it must be you!"

"The Five Elements Escape Technique is truly extraordinary!"

"But you, as the Marquis of Champion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, don't you even dare to fight me?"

"You only dare to hide in the shadows, you only dare to be a coward?"

Jiang Yun roared in fury.

however.

No matter how much he roared, Chu Xiu never appeared.

It was as if Chu Xiu had already left.

However, there is a time limit to forming the Vermilion Bird Battle Formation.

Regardless of the type of battle formation used by the Great Zhou Dynasty, once the formation is established, it requires the cultivation of the general and soldiers to be consumed, with their cultivation serving as the power source for operating the battle formation.

After a cup of tea.

Left with no other choice, Jiang Yun could only dispel the Vermilion Bird Battle Formation.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Jiang Yun and tens of thousands of state soldiers reappeared on the training ground.

"It's very likely that Chu Xiu has already left our state army camp!"

"Jiang Qian, go to the governor's mansion and report to the Holy Son that Chu Xiu used the Five Elements Escape Technique to infiltrate our state army camp and destroyed the Holy Venerable statue. Please ask the Holy Son to bestow a new Holy Venerable statue for us to worship."

Jiang Yun gritted his teeth and spoke in a deep voice to a military officer of the prefecture.

The statue of the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable enshrined in their state military camp was not just an ordinary statue of the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable. It had been worshipped by the Yellow Heaven Sect followers for many years and had grown to a certain level, containing a great deal of faith power.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to raise his cultivation level from the peak of the third level of the Celestial Realm to the peak of the fourth level of the Celestial Realm when he first truly made an offering.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"

Jiang Qian responded and dashed off toward the governor's mansion.

Jiang Yun then arranged for the state troops to guard the area strictly and remain vigilant to prevent Chu Xiu from appearing again.

Outside the governor's mansion.

Suddenly!

A sword light appeared.

Cut it down with one sword.

A human head flew up.

And this head was Jiang Qian's head.

After killing Jiang Qian with a single sword strike, Chu Xiu's figure disappeared once again.

Swish!

"It seems something has happened at the state garrison camp!"

Elder Su Qinghe of the Yellow Heaven Sect seemed to appear out of thin air. Looking at Jiang Qian, whose eyes were wide open in anger and who died with his eyes still open, he frowned and said, "First, report this matter to the Holy Son, and let the Holy Son make a decision!"

After saying that, Su Qinghe returned to the governor's mansion without hesitation, instead of going to the state army camp to provide support.

"Holy Son, something has happened!"

Su Qinghe appeared in the main hall of the governor's mansion and spoke urgently to Xiao Qingcang, who was engrossed in reading.

"Oh?"

Xiao Qingcang raised his head, glanced in the direction of the state army camp, and said indifferently, "Something happened at the state army camp?"

"Your Majesty, that is indeed the case."

"Jiang Yun dispatched a military commander from the prefecture to the governor's mansion, but the commander was killed near the mansion."

"They offered no resistance whatsoever, not even the slightest sound."

"If I hadn't been keeping a close eye on the situation around the governor's mansion, I wouldn't have known."

Su Qinghe said with a solemn expression.

"Did you find anything?"

Xiao Qingcang said calmly.

"Chu Xiu's ability to escape through the Five Elements is not simply limited to this; he must have cultivated it to an extremely profound level!"

"It's very likely that he has already achieved great success!"

"Besides that, I suspect that he not only possesses the Five Elements Escape Technique, but has also comprehended the true meaning of space!"

That's why they can appear and disappear without a trace, as if no one is around!

Su Qinghe took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said in utter shock.

To be honest, the Yellow Heaven Sect had already investigated Chu Xiu. For his age, he already possessed such terrifying strength. Even Su Qinghe, an elder of the Yellow Heaven Sect, had to admit that he was in no way inferior to the nine holy sons of their Yellow Heaven Sect.

Perhaps only the top three holy sons of their Yellow Heaven Sect could possibly surpass Chu Xiu!

It should be noted that the three holy sons of the Yellow Heaven Sect, who are ranked first and second respectively, were able to reach this level only because they received divine blessings from the Yellow Heaven Holy Venerable. Otherwise, they would not have been able to possess their current strength.

But what about Chu Xiu?

What has led Chu Xiu to this point?

His growth rate is too short!

It was so terrible in such a short time.

If given enough time, wouldn't even the three holy sons of the Yellow Heaven Sect be unable to suppress Chu Xiu?
