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

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and looked at Fang Heng and the others, saying, "I have summoned you all today to bestow upon each of you a Taiqing Jade Liquid Pill!"

"Taiqing Jade Elixir?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng and the others' eyes lit up, revealing expressions of great joy.

Although they did not know what exactly the Taiqing Jade Liquid Pill was.

However, they knew that any pills Chu Xiu produced were truly peerless pills.

"Fang Heng, Pei Shiji, and Luo Tianxi, the three of you have all reached the peak of the ninth level of the Celestial Realm. After taking this Taiqing Jade Liquid Pill, you will be able to step into the Human Immortal Realm!"

"The Taiqing Jade Liquid Pill is the breakthrough pill for those at the peak of the ninth level of the Celestial Realm to step into the Human Immortal Realm."

Chu Xiu waved his sleeve, and a series of white porcelain bottles floated in front of Fang Heng and the others. He said calmly, "As for Lin Huaiyu, you have not yet reached the peak of the ninth level of the Celestial Realm, but you should also intensify your cultivation."

Strive to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Celestial Realm as soon as possible, and then take the Taiqing Jade Liquid Pill to step into the realm of Human Immortal.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Fang Heng and the others showed expressions of gratitude. After bowing to Chu Xiu with tears of thanks, they put away the white porcelain bottles in front of them.

Chu Xiu stood proudly and waved to Fang Heng and the others.

Fang Heng and the others bowed and silently withdrew.

Time flies.

Before we knew it, it was already night.

The entire city of Queyue was sparsely lit, and even the city lord's mansion where Chu Xiu lived was dimly lit, as if the whole city had fallen asleep, quiet and peaceful.

Suddenly!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

One after another, figures appeared out of thin air in the city lord's mansion.

It was Nie Jiuyou, the Dharma King of the Maitreya Sect, and Tuoba Pan who led a group of experts from the Maitreya Sect to quietly infiltrate the city lord's mansion in Queyue City.

however!

at this time!

Lanterns lit up from all over the city lord's mansion, making the entire mansion brightly lit, just like daytime!

Nie Jiuyou and his group were surrounded from all sides by countless elite Imperial Guards.

"Two are at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm, nine are at the first to seventh level of the Earth Immortal Realm, and twenty-one are at the Human Immortal Realm."

"Even within the Maitreya Sect, the two of you hold extremely high positions and status, right?"

Chu Xiu's lips curled into a playful smile as he looked at Nie Jiuyou and Tuoba Pan with a mocking gaze.

"As expected of the Marquis of Champion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it seems you had already guessed that we would come to assassinate you tonight."

"In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the reason our Maitreya Sect was able to receive the news so quickly is probably because you sent people to Lujiang County to spread it, isn't it?"

"From the very beginning, this was all a trap you set to lure us in and then wipe us out in one fell swoop!"

"Weaken the strength of our Maitreya Sect!"

Nie Jiuyou stared at Chu Xiu with murderous intent in his eyes, sneered, and said, "However, what I want to say is that in the face of strength, all schemes and tricks are paper tigers and are easily defeated!"

Even if you're prepared, what can you do? Today, the one who will die is you!

Tuoba Pan remained silent, raising the Sumeru Mountain Cauldron high in his right hand, staring at Chu Xiu with a chilling murderous aura.

"is it?"

“You’re so confident!”

"However, you're overconfident!"

"I dared to bring you here because I am confident that I can suppress you!"

"You are just the first to set off."

"Once I have dealt with you, I will personally go to Lujiang County to suppress your entire Maitreya Sect!"

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and looked at Nie Jiuyou and the others.

"Killing Blade Array?"

Nie Jiuyou said with a mocking expression, "I want to see just how powerful your Embroidered Uniform Guard's killing blade formation is, that makes you so arrogant!"

"Very well, then I'll show you!"

Chu Xiu smiled calmly, clenched his right hand, and the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade appeared in his palm. He said indifferently, "Form the formation!"

Zheng!

A sharp clang of a blade echoed throughout the city lord's mansion.

In an instant!

Chu Xiu and more than 9,000 elite Imperial Guards formed a killing blade formation.

An incredibly terrifying aura erupted from Chu Xiu.

It wasn't just Chu Xiu.

The aura emanating from the more than nine thousand elite Imperial Guards also surged dramatically.

It seemed that everyone's cultivation level had reached the Celestial Realm!

What a horrible thing this is!

More than nine thousand Celestial Realm cultivators!

People like Fang Heng, Pei Shiji, Luo Tianxi, Jiang Li, Shen Congyun, and Qin Changsheng have all reached the Earth Immortal realm!

Moreover, he is at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm!

The terrifying killing intent seemed to have turned the entire world into a land of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Impossible! How could your Embroidered Uniform Guard's killing blade formation be more powerful than the Great Zhou Dynasty's battle formations?"

Nie Jiuyou's face showed a look of horror, and he exclaimed in disbelief.

this moment.

Tuoba Pan's expression became extremely solemn. His right hand, which was gripping the Sumeru Mountain Cauldron, tightened involuntarily, and the veins on his right hand bulged, clearly indicating that he also felt immense pressure.

The group of Maitreya Cult experts stared at Chu Xiu with trepidation.

"You can ask the King of Hell about that after you die!"

"Heaven and Earth Suppressing Blade, second strike, kill!"

Chu Xiu moved his right hand, raising the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade in his palm and slashing it towards Nie Jiuyou and the others!

With this slash, a sword aura tens of feet long appeared between heaven and earth.

Although this strike was not several miles long, it was more condensed and more terrifying!

"Celestial Realm!"

"With the Killing Blade Formation, Chu Xiu's strength has reached the Celestial Immortal Realm!"

"Brother Tuoba, if you leave now, I will bring everyone to buy you some time!"

"We must escape and report this news to the leader!"

"This boy is not to be defeated by force!"

Nie Jiuyou gritted his teeth, gripped the octagonal meteorite iron demon-subduing pestle, and shouted with unwavering determination.

"Brother Nie, leave this to me. You escape."

"I'll hold Chu Xiu off!"

"You should know that I am stronger than you in terms of combat power!"

"Only I have a chance to hold him off!"

Tuoba Pan shook his head, moved his feet, and soared into the sky, wielding the Mount Sumeru Cauldron as he fiercely smashed it towards Chu Xiu's blade.

The entire world seemed to be about to be shattered by the Mount Sumeru Cauldron!

Its power is awe-inspiring, possessing the strength to uproot mountains and the might to overwhelm the world!

"Take care, Brother Tuoba!"

Seeing Tuoba Pan make his move, Nie Jiuyou took a deep breath and, like a thunderclap, flashed out of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Maitreya is born, and the Wisdom King is born!"

The group of Maitreya Cult experts showed no emotion on their faces, shouted, and attacked Chu Xiu's blade.

Clearly, he wanted to stand with Tuoba Pan to withstand Chu Xiu's attack.

One after another, incredibly powerful attacks came toward Chu Xiu's Qiankun Zhentian Blade.

Rumble!

This strike landed!

The Mount Sumeru Cauldron actually shattered!

Whether it was Tuoba Pan or the group of Maitreya Cult experts, they were completely powerless against Chu Xiu's Qiankun Zhentian Blade and were instantly cut into a bloody mist.

"You want to escape? Do you even have the chance?"

Holding the Taiqing Zhenyue Blade, Chu Xiu took a step forward and appeared high in the sky above the City Lord's Mansion. Looking at Nie Jiuyou, who had disappeared into the horizon and fled from Queyue City back to Wankou in Lujiang County, he slashed out with his blade from afar!

Chu Xiu was not surprised at all that Nie Jiuyou had escaped Queyue City and returned to Wankou so quickly.

After all, Nie Jiuyou himself was at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Queyuecheng and Wankou face each other across the river.

The two are not far apart to begin with.

This distance is nothing more than a blink of an eye for someone at the peak of the ninth level of the Earth Immortal Realm.
