Chu Ming also felt that the other party seemed to be deliberately testing him, but he didn't care about it.
"If you really want to take action against us, he should be in your hands now instead of standing here safe and sound."
It seemed that he was not satisfied with Chu Ming's answer.
Elder Xi continued to ask, "This may also be a trap I set to lure you to appear."
Chu Ming couldn't help but curse in his heart, "You're the only one here, what kind of trap are you setting? Do you really think that your spiritual consciousness has no effect?"
But in order to find out the other party's purpose, Chu Ming patiently explained, "Now that we have discovered our weakness, the initiative on how to use this point is naturally in your hands. Since Elder Xi still chooses to sit down and talk, he will It basically expresses your attitude.”
"Does the young master want to plot the Eastern Region, or is he using the Eastern Region as a springboard to point his sword at the mainland?"
"Do you think I would tell a stranger my plan? Not to mention whether it's friend or foe I haven't yet determined."
Chu Ming was now certain that the other party was deliberately testing him. Although he didn't know the intention of doing so, he couldn't just follow his will.
Chu Ming's answer did not make Elder Xi angry. He said in a joking tone, "Master, aren't you afraid that I will capture you two? Or are you not the real leader?"
"Just because you are in the middle stage of Emperor Martial Arts?"
Chu Ming was full of disdain for this.
"Realm does not completely represent strength."
Elder Xi seemed to be very confident in his combat prowess.
"What a coincidence, I think so too."
Just when Elder Xi wanted to say something else, he was interrupted by Chu Ming with a wave of his hand.
"You don't need to beat around the bush here, you don't need to try to question me anymore, just explain your purpose first."
Chu Ming didn't want to "play Tai Chi" with Elder Xi anymore. With his current strength, it would be easy to defeat him. In this case, he still let his strength speak for itself.
"In this case, let me learn from you your brilliant strategy. As you have said before, we are just discussing, not a life-or-death duel."
As if afraid that Chu Ming would misunderstand, Elder Xi hurriedly emphasized the nature of the competition.
Chu Ming did not speak, but his momentum continued to grow. Elder Xi also hurriedly raised his momentum to its peak.
Just during the confrontation between the two, he confirmed that Chu Ming was undoubtedly the Martial Emperor warrior. The news of such a young Martial Emperor would definitely shock the entire continent.
And he knew that the opponent's martial arts level was likely to be higher than his own.
Because Chu Ming not only did not lose in the confrontation with him, but he was also able to devote his energy to helping Zhuge Zhengwo who was standing aside.
And the expressions of the two of them did not change from beginning to end. On the contrary, under the pressure of Chu Ming, the sweat on Elder Xi's forehead began to appear.
Finally unable to resist the strong pressure, Elder Xi used his fingers as a sword to strike at Chu Ming's left shoulder.
The originally sharp sword energy reached a foot in front of Chu Ming and disappeared without a trace, just like a mud cow entering the sea.
Before he could recover, the opponent's attack was already in front of him.
Chu Ming also used his fingers as a sword to attack his right shoulder.
Elder Xi does not have as deep aura as Chu Ming, and he can be the first to resolve the sword aura.
He raised his right palm to block in front of him, and punched Chu Ming's elbow with his left fist. One attack and one defense fully demonstrated his rich combat experience.
But he didn't expect that the opponent's attack was actually a feint. Just when he was using up his tricks, Chu Ming's index and middle fingers were already pointing at his face.
The sharp sword energy had even pierced the surface of the skin, and blood began to flow downwards. However, at this time, Elder Xi did not dare to act rashly. His life and death depended on Chu Ming's thoughts.
Elder Xi did not expect that he could not even catch the opponent's move, although he was just testing it and did not use his full strength.
But looking at Chu Ming's relaxed look, he knew that even if he had to do it over again, he still wouldn't be able to change the current outcome.
Just when he was feeling uneasy, Chu Ming slowly retracted his finger.
Elder Xi collapsed on the round stool with relief.
After making a slight adjustment, he stood up, saluted Chu Ming respectfully and said sincerely, "Thank you, Master, for not killing me!"
"You really don't mean any harm. Sit down."
Through the fight just now, Chu Ming could feel that Elder Xi really just wanted to "discuss". There was no killing intention in his moves, which meant that he was not lying.
After this "friendly" exchange, Elder Xi's attitude towards Chu Ming became extremely respectful.
"Now you can tell me your true purpose."
"Please let me be clear first. I will boldly tell you some of my guesses. Is your assessment correct or not?"
Chu Ming also wanted to find out what Elder Xi was pretending to be and see how capable he was.
"The force that the young master belongs to should come from the Exile Domain. The three kingdoms of Song, Wei, and Zhao are now under your control."
Chu Ming was not surprised that Elder Xi could accurately judge this. The fact that he could find Zhuge Zhengwo first meant that he had discovered the clues.
Chu Ming waved for him to continue.
"You are also responsible for the West Sea Chamber of Commerce, and you have people in Wuliang Holy Land, Holy Sword Sect, Guanghan Palace and other sects. The most conservative estimate is that the Holy Sword Sect that cooperated first must have your subordinates."
Because Chu Ming was wearing a mask, Elder Xi could not see his expression clearly, but he found the answer he wanted from Zhuge Zhengwo's face.
"The subsequent series of events in Tianlongmen and the Hu family are all related to you. You are waiting for an opportunity."
"what chance?"
"There is a chance of chaos in the Eastern Territory. I believe you have a perfect plan to make the Eastern Territory chaotic, just like you originally designed the West Sea Chamber of Commerce."
Chu Ming didn't expect that Taiyi Sect would have such a wise man, and it really didn't match his appearance.
Elder Xi's short, fat figure and simple appearance perfectly matched his temperament with that of a businessman, butcher, blacksmith, farmer, etc., but had nothing to do with a wise man.
Chu Ming's eyes also made Elder Xi feel puzzled. It was neither shock nor recognition, but rather a mixture of surprise and confusion.
"Could it be that my analysis is wrong? It's impossible!"
At this time, Elder Xi also had doubts about his own inference because of Chu Ming's eyes.
If he knew that the other party was questioning the mismatch between his appearance and IQ, I don't know how he would feel.
Chu Ming had imagined today's situation, but he never imagined that a fat man with an unattractive appearance would explain his plan.
Elder Xi didn't seem to notice Chu Ming's murderous intention against him.
"You should be the descendants of Tiangong."
Before Elder Xi finished speaking, it was like a hurricane was blowing in the Imperial Garden.
The pavilion instantly turned into powder, and Elder Xi was the first to be thrown away by the air wave, falling to the ground unable to move.
"Damn it! He's actually a strong man above the Martial Emperor!"
Elder Xi couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.
"In this case, you just pretended to have a discussion with me. This is too insidious!"
At this time, he felt that he was just a harmless "little white rabbit" compared to Chu Ming.
"It seems I really can't keep you here!"
Chu Ming did not expect that Elder Xi could deduce such a major secret.
"I came here to serve. My family has inherited it until now. Loyalty to Tiangong has become our belief, and it has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of every member."
"How do you prove your identity?"
"Tiangong is a hero! Demon!"
After hearing what Elder Xi said, Chu Ming removed the pressure from him.
Elder Xi reluctantly got up, walked to Chu Ming, knelt down and paid homage devoutly. The whole process was extremely pious.
We are all warriors, and no changes in aura can fool each other. Seeing Elder Xi's actions, Chu Ming couldn't help but believe a little bit of what he just said.
"Yue Jiayue pays homage to the master in ancient times."
"Tell me briefly about your family."
"The Yue family has been inherited since 120,000 years ago. It has been favored by Tiangong and admired its character. At that time, it was sworn to follow Tiangong forever."
"When the demons invaded, the Yue family also suffered heavy losses. When Tiangong was destroyed by those despicable sects, it was already too late for the family to go to the rescue."
"Because few people know about the relationship between the Yue family and Tiangong, the sect did not embarrass the family too much after the incident, but the Yue family has never forgotten this hatred."
"After so many years of inheritance, everyone in your family has been able to firmly believe in it, and there has never been a traitor?"
Chu Ming did not doubt the Yue family's experience, but wondered how they could pass on to this day under the noses of sects such as Wuliang Holy Land.
"There have been several incidents of internal strife in the family's history, but they all subsided in the end. Two of them almost led to the destruction of the entire family."
Although Yue Shanggu said it was easy, Chu Ming could imagine the thrilling process.
"The eighteenth generation ancestor of the Yuezhi family is good at observing celestial phenomena. He once left a prophecy, saying that the descendants of the Heavenly Palace will appear in the Eastern Region before this spiritual energy tide."
"So as early as 60,000 years ago, the Yuezhi family migrated to the Eastern Region as a whole."
"The current Xipin sect in the Eastern Region, the Yue Sect, was founded by our Yuezhi family, and its strength is not inferior to that of the Taiyi sect."
When Yue Shanggu said this, Chu Ming basically believed his sincerity.
"Are you here under the instructions of your family?"
"No, it was my personal doing. The matter is of great importance. Without your approval, I cannot leak the Tiangong information to anyone."
"Since you can deduce the appearance of the descendants of Tiangong, will people from other forces also have this ability?"
Yue Shanggu knew Chu Ming's concerns. After lowering his head and thinking deeply, he replied, "No."
"So sure?"
"Other forces have long forgotten the existence of Tiangong, let alone associate the master with it."
"There is another key point. People with such smart minds as my subordinates are rare after all."
Yue Shanggu did not hesitate to praise himself, and Chu Ming did not object to this.
"When you get up and speak, don't call me master again. Please call me master."
"Yes, sir."
