After Lu Chen left, Zhou Xiangshan couldn't help but show a little disappointment in his eyes.
In fact, he also wanted to see Chu Xisheng's level of swordsmanship with his own eyes.
Twenty days ago, Zhou Xiangshan saw Chu Xisheng suppressing twelve fellow disciples with the power of his spiritual thoughts at the Zhengyang Martial Arts School, but he never saw Chu Xisheng use his sword.
It's a pity that this 'Silver Striped Tiger' Lu Chen retreated in the face of battle, which made him lose his sight.
Zhou Liangchen looked at Lu Chen's back and said coldly: "That's the kind of person he is. He never does anything he's not sure about."
But then he said solemnly: "This guy is timid and shameless, but his strength is real. He is cunning and cunning, and he is the most stingy person. So brother Chu, you have to be careful, you will fall for him this time. To save his face, he will definitely not give up."
"Yeah?"
Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, then nodded as if casually, and Yun Danfeng said lightly: "I know."
But he was cursing in his heart.
Who did I lose face to?
If it weren't for those two words you said, nothing would have happened today.
And Lu Chen is not the only one who is hostile to him now.
Chu Xisheng calmly glanced at the status bar on the illusory screen, and saw that the word '睚禦' was bright red.
——Your Yajuan Blade Intent has been upgraded to medium strength!
All the ninth-grade martial arts cultivators around this inn, plus the accompanying servants and other forces, there are at most 2,500 people.
But they were able to stimulate his Yajuan Blade Intent to a medium intensity!
This shows the depth of hostility and malice of these people.
It is obvious that Zhou Liangchen's words have aroused everyone's fear and he has become a loser.
Chu Xisheng took a deep look at Zhou Liangchen and thought, I really should thank you!
This guy was simply his nemesis, not only making him lose more than 10,000 taels of silver in vain, but also getting him into such an embarrassing situation.
Zhou Xiangshan had a smile on his face and stretched out his hand: "Please, Young Master Chu, I have prepared a banquet on the second floor of the inn for you to catch the wind and wash away the dust."
There is a large patio in the middle of the lobby of this inn, which is a bit like the layout of the lobby of Shenglian Building.
The second floor surrounds the patio, and there are also twelve Eight Immortals tables.
There are far fewer people on this floor, it is cleaner and more spacious.
Chu Xisheng happened to be hungry too.
He had been traveling for a whole day and didn't eat much on the way.
And just when Chu Xisheng climbed up the steps and followed Zhou Xiangshan to his seat.
'Silver Pattern Tiger' Lu Chen, who had already reached the Eight Immortals table on the second floor, was looking back coldly.
"I never expected that our Dongzhou would actually hide such a number one figure!"
"This world has always been full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. Therefore, when we travel around the world, we must maintain a certain sense of awe."
The voice was old and hoarse.
When Lu Chen heard this, he turned his head and looked at an old man wearing black clothes and with a withered face next to him.
This was an old servant who had taken care of him for many years. He also had a serious expression on his face, looking at Chu Xisheng who was stepping onto the second floor from a distance: "Young master is right not to use the sword. Zhou Liangchen's temperament has always been upright. What he said has always been upright. No discount. Also, when I saw Chu Xisheng just now, his eyes were always on your right shoulder, so I was afraid I might have discovered something."
Lu Chen suddenly frowned and felt a dull pain in his right shoulder.
The hidden injury on his shoulder was caused by his strong practice of the ultimate sword technique three months ago. Lu Chen kept it secret after the injury and used medicine to recuperate.
"The Sword Comes"
But how did that guy know?
Could it be that Chu Xisheng saw his weakness at just one glance?
"This person is a formidable enemy. If he can really defeat Zhou Liangchen with one sword, I and the other Qingyun Tianjiao may not be his match. We must prepare a perfect strategy in advance to ensure that we can kick this person out."
Lu Chen picked up Kuaizi and said thoughtfully: "You still have to try this guy's depth first. Can you find a suitable person to find out his background? It's best if he has nothing to do with our family. Relationship."
The old man couldn't help but feel helpless when he heard this. His young master was forcing himself to do something difficult.
The ten miles around here have been blocked by several forces in Linhai, and outsiders cannot enter.
And if you want to find out Chu Xisheng's roots, you can't be too weak.
But such people usually have a good status.
If he has nothing to do with the Lu family, why should he listen to you?
However, after he thought about it for a while, his expression changed slightly: "There is a very suitable person. He is a dead soldier trained by our family. He has been lurking in the Haiyan Gang. He is at the eighth level of cultivation and has extremely strong combat power. However, the Zhou family is against Chu Xi Sheng attaches great importance to it. If our people take action now, no matter whether they succeed or fail, it will be difficult to survive."
Lu Chen frowned, then snorted: "Forget it if you can't find anyone."
He wouldn't be so cruel as to let his dead men die over such a thing.
Lu Chen then glanced at the lobby with a sly look in his eyes: "Actually, there is no need to dirty our hands. It is estimated that eight out of ten people in this lobby want to know the truth about Chu Xisheng. You can find a way to get some information out. If you advocate for this person, say that this person is unpredictable and I, Lu Chen, will never be his enemy. Someone will definitely do it for me and try his skills for me."
※※※※
The banquet prepared by the Zhou family was not too sumptuous, but in this barren mountain wilderness, it was already very good.
Chu Xisheng was not polite and tore off a rabbit leg and ate it.
The strange thing is that while he was eating, five small fireworks exploded in his eyes.
Chu Xisheng didn't pay attention. While he was eating, he observed the many young men in the inn lobby attentively: "Deacon Zhou, are all the people who will participate in the secret realm battle tomorrow here?"
Zhou Xiangshan laughed when he heard this and said: "Most of our most outstanding young heroes in Dongzhou are here. There may be one or two descendants of the hidden sect coming, but I'm not sure."
He then looked around: "Actually, there are only four people who really deserve Young Master Chu's attention. In addition to the 'Silver Striped Tiger' Lu Chen, there is also the 'White-browed Tiger' Ying Haobai, who is on the left side of the second floor In the corner, the one with white eyebrows and wearing white clothes.
He has always been on the same level as Lu Chen, and his ranking is about the same, being ranked 96th on the Qingyun Ranking. This person has a reckless and bellicose personality. If it was him that Chu Shaoxia met just now, he would have started a fight just now.
There is also the second table on the right, the young man with long hair and handsome features. His name is Zhuo Baiyun, nicknamed "Shadowless Sword", and he is ranked eighty-sixth on the Qingyun Ranking. It is said that this man's sword can make the sword come out without a shadow. If Chu Shaoxia has a chance, he can try whether your sword is faster or his sword is faster——"
His voice paused slightly because Zhuo Baiyun had noticed their gazes.
Zhuo Baiyun smiled slightly, raised his wine glass and saluted in this direction.
Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows and raised his glass in return.
There was a bit of concentration in his eyes.
The ranking of the Dongzhou Qingyun Ranking is based on an individual's age, talent and prospects, so some ninth-grade martial arts cultivators can also be on the list.
But in addition to age and talent, the personal strength of the members of the Qingyun List also accounts for a considerable part.
This person can be ranked 86th on the Qingyun Ranking with a ninth-grade cultivation level, which shows that his combat prowess is impressive.
Zhou Xiangshan continued to introduce: "Then there is the 'Corpse Dog' Li Manshan, the one in the far corner on the right."
"Corpse dog?" Chu Xisheng couldn't help but look sideways and looked at it carefully.
This was because he had never seen Corpse Dog Li Manshan's name on the Dongzhou Qingyun List, and secondly, this man's nickname was very surprising.
Chu Xisheng caught his eye and saw a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.
The man's nose was huge, taking up almost a fifth of his face. His skin was pale and he looked like a dead person.
"He is from the Corpse Mountain Gate."
Zhou Xiangshan explained with a smile: "The Corpse Mountain Sect is a hidden sect in Dongzhou, which focuses on cultivating 'Zombie Evil'. Although it is not famous, it is very powerful. It is said that they have a mountain of seventh-grade evil corpses, known as Corpse Mountain.
This person has been practicing at Corpse Mountain Gate and has never been down the mountain before, so his reputation is not obvious. But not long ago, someone tried his skills. It is said that this person's strength is not inferior to that of the Shadowless Sword Zhuo Baiyun.
These four people are not only powerful themselves. The power behind them is huge, and they can bring more than ten or twenty good people in. There is strength in numbers. But in this regard, Chu Shaoxia doesn't need to worry. Our Zhou family also has ten places. A good minister will bring someone to accompany you in. They are all carefully selected by our family. With you as the leader, only your orders follow. "
Chu Xisheng was even more worried. The young man Zhou next to him clearly had the potential to be a good teammate.
He felt even heavier. None of these people were easy to deal with.
Chu Xisheng then asked curiously: "Why don't you see anyone coming from Zhoucheng?"
Over there in Dongzhou City is the real hidden dragon and crouching tiger, with powerful people like clouds. They occupy nearly half of the people on the "Qingyun List", "Celebrity List" and "Black List" in Dongzhou all year round.
"Except for our family, the rest of the people on this floor are from Zhoucheng." Zhou Xiangshan smiled and said, "After we discovered this secret realm, we deliberately suppressed the news. Those young geniuses from Zhoucheng They have all been promoted to the eighth level and cannot get in. The rest have not yet become popular, but Chu Shaoxia should not be careless, these people may also be hidden and their reputation is not obvious. "
At this time, Zhou Xiangshan's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he looked towards the door of the inn: "Young hero, I have something to deal with, so I'll excuse you for a moment."
And not long after Zhou Xiangshan left, a young man in a green shirt came over carrying three small jade porcelain bowls: "Young Master Chu, my eldest son, this is your sea cucumber soup."
Zhou Liangchen was stunned after hearing this.
He was present when Zhouxiangshan arranged the banquet. It seems that he didn’t arrange the sea cucumber soup?
The inn in this barren mountain has limited capabilities. Everyone brings their own ingredients and chefs, and even has dedicated people to deliver the food. This is to prevent poisoning.
In order to give him some experience, his uncle also asked him to participate.
He paid close attention and found that although this man was wearing the clothes of a Zhou family general, his lower body was light, and there were thick calluses on the tiger's mouth of his hands, which were clearly worn out by holding weapons for many years - but this did not look like the Zhou family's martial arts. the number of paths,
The Zhou family is engaged in shipping, and their generals have to fight on the ship, and their footwork is as solid as a rock. Moreover, they retract and release cables and anchors all year round, and their hands are thickly calloused, not limited to the tiger's mouth.
Zhou Liangchen's eyes narrowed dangerously at first, but then he sneered disdainfully.
This man was a martial arts cultivator at the 'lower eighth level' level, and he probably wanted to test Chu Xisheng's skills.
The problem is that Chu Xisheng not only defeated him with one sword, but also made him unable to pull out his sword!
If you are not at the level of Qingyun Tianjiao, or at his level, how can you test Chu Xisheng's true level?
He didn't even bother to speak to alert the two seventh-grade Zhou family guards not far away.
Chu Xisheng was not prepared. He reached out to receive the sea cucumber soup from the man in green shirt.
But in the next moment, his expression changed slightly, and he felt an extremely sharp mental thought coming from the small jade porcelain bowl.
