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

"Your subordinate is willing to kill Chu Xiu for the sake of the Holy Church!"

The Black Heaven Venerable Nie Jiuyou, holding an octagonal meteorite iron demon-subduing pestle, bowed to Xiao Yu and said.

"I'm willing too!"

The Flame Venerable Helian Yan, wielding the Flame Dragon Seven-Section Whip, shouted loudly.

“Amitabha, this old monk wishes to personally go to Queyue City to meet Chu Xiu.”

Master Yuanzhen, the Great Wheel King, suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingcang and the others all turned their gazes toward Master Yuanzhen.

Master Yuanzhen's status and position within the entire Maitreya Sect are second only to the sect leader, Xiao Yu, and his strength is also second only to the sect leader.

He actually wanted to go to Queyue City to kill Chu Xiu himself.

Everyone frowned involuntarily.

“Master Yuanzhen, you are the Great Wheel King of our Maitreya Sect. A mere Chu Xiu is not worth your personal attention.”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said to Master Yuanzhen.

"Amitabha, good, good, good."

"This old monk does not wish to avenge Fakong."

“Fakong died for the great cause of the Holy Church, and his death was worthy of it.”

"The reason I want to go to Queyue City in person is because I feel that killing Chu Xiu will not be an easy task."

"When this young man was conferred the title of Marquis of Champion, I studied him for a long time and found that he was like a child of destiny. Before becoming the garrison commander of the Northern Garrison, he may never have practiced martial arts."

"However, after becoming the garrison commander of the Northern Garrison, his cultivation level advanced by leaps and bounds, and he grew rapidly in a short period of time."

"At this moment, I even suspect that his cultivation level has already reached the realm of human immortals!"

"In less than a few months, he went from someone who had never practiced martial arts to someone whose cultivation had broken through to the Human Immortal realm. What an astonishing figure he is!"

"It is by no means inferior to Murong Xiao, who rose from a beggar to suppress all the sects in the world, made the powerful families bow down, and established the Great Zhou Dynasty as the founding emperor."

Master Yuanzhen clasped his hands together and solemnly said, "Even Murong Xiao's growth rate back then was far inferior to this boy's!"

And now, a great era of contention is about to begin.

This old monk suspects that this young man is one of the hidden dragons of this great era of contention.

Once he crosses the Dragon Gate, this child will surely become a true dragon!

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.

Originally, Lu Qingcang and the others did not actually value Chu Xiu too much.

After all, which of these people wasn't at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm?

In fact, if it weren't for the fear of being suppressed by heaven and earth, with their natural talent, they would have already reached the realm of celestial immortals.

However, if Chu Xiu is indeed a hidden dragon, then he must have accumulated a large amount of heaven and earth fortune and been favored by heaven and earth fortune, making him not easy to kill.

Although a hidden dragon does not necessarily mean a real dragon.

Whenever a great era of contention arrives, several hidden dragons are born.

Among these potential dragons, whoever can suppress the others and stand out from the crowd will become a true dragon.

"Once he crosses the Dragon Gate, this child will surely become a true dragon?"

"I understand what Master Yuanzhen means."

"It seems that killing this boy is indeed not an easy task."

"Regardless of whether this child is a hidden talent or not, we must take him seriously."

"However, Master Yuanzhen is the Great Wheel King of our Maitreya Sect. Killing this boy does not require Master Yuanzhen to take action personally."

A glint of light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes, and he said with chilling murderous intent, "Nie Jiuyou!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Nie Jiuyou gripped the eight-sided meteorite iron demon-subduing pestle and shouted with a powerful voice.

"Tuoba Pan!"

Xiao Yu continued.

"My subordinate is here!"

Standing nine feet tall, resembling a giant, and gripping a massive, ten-thousand-pound cauldron called Mount Sumeru in his right hand, the Venerable Tuoba Pan spoke in a deep, booming voice.

"The two of you will personally go to Queyue City to kill Chu Xiu for our Holy Sect!"

"No matter what, this brat must be killed, at all costs!"

Xiao Yu said in a deep and powerful voice.

"Yes, sir!"

Nie Jiuyou and Tuoba Pan exchanged a glance and said firmly.

Although the eight Dharma Kings were all at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.

However, there are different levels of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Nie Jiuyou ranks third in strength among the eight Dharma Kings.

Tuoba Pan ranked second.

He possesses immense strength, second only to Lu Qingcang, the leader of the Eight Great Dharma Kings.

Even if Lu Qingcang joined forces, the two of them might not be able to withstand them.

This clearly demonstrates how much Xiao Yu values ​​Chu Xiu.

Upon seeing that Xiao Yu had dispatched two Dharma Kings, Nie Jiuyou and Tuoba Pan, to Queyue City to assassinate Chu Xiu, Master Yuanzhen clasped his hands together and remained silent.

"After dark, the two Dharma Kings will lead thirty experts from our Maitreya Sect to Queyue City to kill Chu Xiu."

"The primary target is Chu Xiu."

"After killing this man, we can take the opportunity to eliminate Gu Tianhe, the governor of Jingzhou."

"If the more than nine thousand elite Jinyiwei are willing to submit to our Maitreya Sect, we will try our best to subdue them."

"If they are unwilling, we can kill some of them and then capture the rest."

"No matter what, we must obtain the Embroidered Uniform Guard's killing blade formation!"

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I understand."

Nie Jiuyou and the other person spoke with respectful expressions.

Queyue City.

Although Queyue City is a military city, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been at peace for a long time, and Queyue City is no different from an ordinary city. It has a large population of people living there, and all walks of life are available.

Although it is not exactly prosperous, it has its own unique charm as a small town.

However, the arrival of the Jingzhou army has made Queyue City cold and desolate. Before it even got dark, there was not a single person to be seen on the streets.

The main hall of the city lord's mansion.

Chu Xiu sat upright in the main seat of the hall.

Fang Heng, Pei Shiji, Luo Tianxi, and Lin Huaiyu stood in the hall.

"Reporting to the Marquis, these are the Xuan Yin Divine Sword and Xuan Yin Divine Palm that I obtained from the Xuan Yin Sword Sect. I have already examined them, and both of these martial arts have their unique features."

"Especially the Xuan Yin Divine Sword, which is incredibly powerful."

"However, within the Xuan Yin Sword Sect, no one is capable of truly mastering this Xuan Yin Divine Sword."

"Otherwise, the Xuan Yin Sword Sect would very likely have already become a holy land-level sect."

Fang Heng took out two secret manuals from his sleeve, held them up with both hands, and said respectfully.

"Oh?"

Chu Xiu took the two manuals from Fang Heng with great interest and began to read them.

Just as Fang Heng said, it's like the Xuan Yin Divine Palm.

It should have been gradually completed by generations of masters of the Xuan Yin Sword Sect after they comprehended the Xuan Yin Divine Sword.

The Xuan Yin Divine Sword is different. This Xuan Yin Divine Sword has extremely high requirements for sword talent and comprehension, and is extremely difficult to cultivate.

It is a truly unparalleled martial arts technique.

Although it is not as powerful as the God-Slaying and Saint-Killing Great Immortal-Slaying Sword of the Imperial Preceptor Qi Tianchen, it can definitely be called a sword technique of unparalleled martial arts level.

"Keep these two manuals."

"Once we return to our Embroidered Uniform Guard, we will put it into the armory."

After a while, Chu Xiu casually tossed the two manuals to Fang Heng and said indifferently.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

Fang Heng said with utmost respect.

Are our people ready?

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and looked at Fang Heng, asking a question.

"Reporting to the Marquis, everything is ready."

"All the brothers were scattered throughout the city lord's mansion."

"As long as the Maitreya sect dares to come!"

"We will make sure they never return!"

Fang Heng said with a murderous aura.
