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

"Reporting to the patriarch, the visitor is Li Hanchuan, the Yellow Heaven Divine General of the Yellow Heaven Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun spoke with a respectful expression.

"The Yellow Heavenly General?"

"It seems the Yellow Heaven Sect has really gone all out."

"You should know that within the Yellow Heaven Sect, the Yellow Heaven Divine General is a trump card that has always been hidden in the dark."

"There are only thirty-six Yellow Heaven Divine Generals in the entire Yellow Heaven Sect."

“Each of the Yellow Heaven Divine Generals possesses astonishing strength!”

"More importantly, these Yellow Heavenly Generals are invulnerable to swords and spears and possess immense strength."

Xiao Yu's eyes lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face as he said, "With the Yellow Heaven Sect sending out such a Yellow Heaven Divine General, our chances of stopping Chu Xiu, or even killing him, are much greater!"

"Pity……"

"Our lifeless ghost soldiers and lifeless ghost generals have not yet been forged."

"Otherwise, our strength would not be inferior to that of the Yellow Heaven Sect."

After a pause, Xiao Yu said with a hint of regret on his face.

The Yellow Heaven Sect has the Yellow Heaven Warriors and Yellow Heaven Generals, so the Maitreya Sect naturally cannot be without its own trump cards.

After all, the Yellow Heaven Sect worships the Yellow Heaven Saint Venerable, while their Maitreya Sect also worships the Maitreya Bodhisattva.

Maitreya Bodhisattva in the Maitreya religion is also known as the Unborn Maitreya, who is in charge of the netherworld.

Therefore, the guiding principle of Maitreya Buddhism has always been that only through great destruction can great creation be achieved!

By borrowing the power of the netherworld, we can cleanse the filth of the present world and create space for Maitreya's Pure Land.

The lifeless ghost soldiers and lifeless ghost generals of the Maitreya sect are in no way weaker than the Yellow Heaven Warriors and Yellow Heaven Divine Generals of the Yellow Heaven sect.

Xiao Yun lowered his head and remained silent.

"However, it will be soon. We will soon have strength no less than that of the Yellow Heaven Sect!"

Xiao Yu took a deep breath to calm himself down, and looked at Xiao Yun, asking, "Where is Li Hanchuan now?"

"Reporting to the patriarch, Li Hanchuan is waiting in the main hall."

Xiao Yun said respectfully.

"Let's go, come with me to see Li Hanchuan."

Xiao Yu said something and walked towards the main hall of the Xiao residence.

"Yes."

Xiao Yun responded and followed behind Xiao Yu.

Not long after.

Xiao Yu led Xiao Yun into the main hall of the Xiao residence, where he immediately spotted Li Hanchuan sitting in the guest seat.

Like Murong Zhanyue, Li Hanchuan also wore a yellow mask on his face, so his appearance was completely hidden from view.

Upon seeing Xiao Yu enter, Li Hanchuan stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Sect Leader Xiao."

"No need for formalities, General Li, please sit down and let's talk."

With a smile, Xiao Yu extended his hand to Li Hanchuan in invitation.

"Thank you, Master Xiao."

Li Hanchuan thanked him and sat down again.

Xiao Yu walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down. He looked at Li Hanchuan and pretended not to understand, saying, "General Li, may I ask what brings you here today?"

"Master Xiao, after our leader learned that you suffered heavy losses because of Chu Xiu, he specially sent me to visit you and help you eliminate Chu Xiu."

"After all, Chu Xiu is not only an enemy of the Maitreya Sect, but also an enemy of our Yellow Heaven Sect."

“Our Yellow Heaven Sect’s holy sons have all perished under his blade.”

Li Hanchuan said calmly and forcefully.

"General Li, Chu Xiu has reached the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm thanks to the Jinyiwei's killing blade formation."

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat."

"In addition, this person is extremely cautious and always stays with the elite members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

"Even with your help, I'm afraid we still won't be able to kill him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu sighed, a bitter smile appearing on his face, and said with a wry smile.

"I am naturally aware of Leader Xiao's concerns."

"It is indeed not an easy task for us to kill Chu Xiu on our own."

"As for the Jinyiwei's killing blade formation, as far as I know, Chu Xiu is able to reach the peak of the ninth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm."

"That's because there are more than nine thousand elite Imperial Guards."

"If we can keep these nine thousand-plus elite Imperial Guards away from him, wouldn't we be able to kill him easily?"

Li Hanchuan said in a deep voice.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?"

Xiao Yu frowned and said thoughtfully, "Then how can we transfer the more than nine thousand elite Jinyiwei guards around Chu Xiu?"

Or how could one devise a scheme to make Chu Xiu voluntarily leave the protection of these nine thousand elite Imperial Guards?

Li Hanchuan said calmly, "There's no rush. Someone will naturally help Sect Leader Xiao think of a solution."

"What does General Li mean?"

Xiao Yu's heart stirred, and he looked at Li Hanchuan and asked.

"Master Xiao wouldn't be planning to use the combined strength of our two families to kill Chu Xiu, would he?"

"Although if we could get Chu Xiu away from these nine thousand elite Imperial Guards, we would have a good chance to kill him."

"However, we don't need to do that at all."

"We are not the only ones who want Chu Xiu dead."

"Master Xiao should contact all the families and ask them to contribute as well."

"Let's combine our strength and get rid of Chu Xiu together."

"In this way, we can also prevent Chu Xiu from having any trump cards up his sleeve, so that relying solely on the two of us will not only fail to kill Chu Xiu, but also cause us heavy losses."

Li Hanchuan said calmly, "Isn't that right, Sect Leader Xiao?"

"General Li is right!"

"I understand!"

Xiao Yu gave Li Hanchuan a deep look and said.

Thanks to Xiao Longcheng's reminder, he had already had this idea and made such preparations.

I'm just saying it now because it's convenient.

The next day.

early morning.

Chu Xiu pushed open the door and walked out of the room, immediately seeing Ying Taotie waiting outside the door.

"Greetings to the Marquis."

Ying Taotie bowed to Chu Xiu and said.

"Has Commander Shadow completed the investigation?"

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and looked at Ying Taotie.

Since he wanted to reclaim the entire Yangzhou for the Great Zhou Dynasty and suppress the Maitreya Sect and the Xiao family of Yangzhou.

Naturally, it was impossible not to investigate the Maitreya Sect and the Xiao Clan of Yangzhou, to understand the strength of the Maitreya Sect and the Xiao Clan of Yangzhou, and to find out if they had any hidden trump cards.

This is what we call being prepared for any eventuality!

He never underestimated the former imperial family of Yangzhou, such as the Xiao family, and even less so the Maitreya sect.

Neither of them are easy to deal with.

Although he had previously read materials about the Xiao family of Yangzhou and the Maitreya sect while working in the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

However, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had been in decline for many years, and he had very little information to draw upon.

The reason why this matter wasn't entrusted to Lin Huaiyu is that it would take too long for Lin Huaiyu to investigate it, and the information he would obtain would certainly not be as good as that of the Shadow Guard.

The Shadow Guards' strength far surpasses that of the current Embroidered Uniform Guards.

At least in terms of intelligence, the gap is too big.

"Reporting to the Marquis, I have investigated and found out the truth."

Ying Taotie said respectfully.

"Talk about it."

Chu Xiu smiled gently and looked at Ying Taotie.
