169: Old Master Chu attacked angrily
"The bigger picture?"
Old Master Chu sneered, "Screw your bigger picture! It was precisely because I focused too much on the bigger picture back then that I ended up like this, living neither like a human nor a ghost."
"If I hadn't considered the bigger picture back then, you wouldn't even be qualified to stand before me now."
"You good-for-nothing, always talking about the bigger picture, but it's always you cowardly bastards who profit, while the true heroes are shamed."
"If it weren't for my concessions back then, your corpse would have long rotted away. How could you still be parading around as a Martial King, standing before me and spouting such nonsense?"
The leading elder angrily said, "Chu Yunzhang, you've gone too far."
Old Master Chu snorted, "I've gone too far for your grandma! Don't think I don't know how many benefits you've secretly received."
"If it weren't for the promises of benefits from those bastards in the Secret Realm City, would you have bothered to meddle in these affairs?"
"With this time, you should instead look at what kind of lives these people in China are living now!"
"Slander!" The leading elder's face turned ashen. "Chu Yunzhang, you must take responsibility for your words. I am telling you very clearly, our main purpose in coming here this time is to complete a mission from above."
Old Master Chu sneered, "Alright! I've now decided to fight that bastard to the death, at least leaving him severely injured and unable to recover."
"Once that happens, Yu Xiu can take the opportunity to kill that bastard. Wouldn't your mission also be accomplished then?"
The leading elder snorted, "Chu Yunzhang, you are simply incorrigible."
"With us here, you can forget about disrupting the bigger picture. If you insist, don't blame us for being merciless."
Old Master Chu laughed loudly, "Is this what you call the bigger picture? Is this what you call a mission? Do you really think everyone else is a fool?"
"Today, I'll see how you intend to stop me. Today, I'll also show you why people once called me Chu Crazy."
Old Master Chu said no more, his hand already reaching out towards his opponent.
"Retreat quickly!"
Seeing this, the leading elder immediately signaled the other three behind him to retreat.
At the same time.
Old Master Chu also chased the four out of the tent.
The commotion here was noticed, and more and more people surged over.
"What is Chu Crazy trying to do?"
Not far away, the escaping Li Family Leader was also stunned when he saw the situation here.
"Who cares what he's doing? We need to hurry and inform the Martial Emperor."
Someone next to him urged.
The Li Family Leader glanced at the person fighting Old Master Chu, then turned and left.
A moment later.
The Li Family Leader arrived at the tent where the people from the Western Secret Realm City were staying and, as expected, met the Martial Emperor.
"Martial Emperor, we were originally following your instructions to persuade the Wu Family, but Yu Xiu and Chu Crazy suddenly appeared halfway through."
The Li Family Leader cried, "You know, Yu Xiu and Chu Crazy are both Martial King powerhouses. I truly had no choice."
"If I hadn't run fast, I'm afraid I would have lost my life there."
Upon hearing this.
The Martial Emperor was not surprised.
He just waved his hand and said, "Someone is handling Chu Crazy now. Let's go out and watch the show!"
He sneered, then got up and walked out of the tent.
Behind him followed a group of young people from the Western Secret Realm City, as well as the Li Family Leader.
"Is that Yu Xiu?"
The Martial Emperor looked up at the not-so-distant figure. "He is indeed very young. If we can subdue him for our Family's use, that would be quite good."
"Martial Emperor, those four people over there seem to be leaders of the Administration Bureau. Why would they suddenly start fighting Chu Crazy?" The Li Family Leader asked cautiously.
"People are always chasing after benefits, especially in this Martial Dao world where the strong are revered."
The Martial Emperor chuckled, "Who doesn't want to climb to a higher Realm of Martial Dao?"
"Now that the Inner Cabinet's management of China is loose, some people have already had ulterior motives. The temptation of becoming a Martial Emperor is not small!"
The Li Family Leader suddenly understood.
Through the Martial Emperor's words, he guessed that the other party had promised benefits to the people of the Administration Bureau.
Although he didn't know what benefits, if it involved a Breakthrough to Martial Emperor, it must be extremely precious resources or conditions.
Thus!
He also understood.
Although the leaders of the Administration Bureau were the overt managers, they had a Nine-Star Martial King like Old Master Chu of the Chu Family pressing down on them.
Those people must have felt uncomfortable.
Moreover, Old Master Chu was too glorious back then, and now that he was in a quagmire, there were still people who wanted to step on him a few times.
Those who wanted to surpass him were naturally not few, and these people from the Administration Bureau were among them.
"What the Martial Emperor says is true!"
The Li Family Leader quickly agreed, then stood respectfully to the side, not saying a word... On the other side.
The four people from the Administration Bureau, even when combined, were no match for Old Master Chu.
When Yu Xiu previously taught the Two Hundred Death Warriors the Spirit Guiding Technique and Martial Skills, he did not hide any of this from Old Master Chu.
Now, looking at it, Old Master Chu was still effortlessly suppressing the four people.
"Grandpa Chu is so mischievous!"
Yu Xiu saw at a glance that Old Master Chu was not using the Spirit Guiding Technique. He was simply toying with the four people in their fight.
Of course, Yu Xiu also knew very well that Old Master Chu was doing this mainly to hide his true strength.
After all, Old Master Chu was too special. Although he was now confined to Qin Province, there were still many eyes watching him.
Once Old Master Chu showed any increase in strength, or a Breakthrough to Martial Emperor, many people would immediately emerge to suppress him.
This was also the reason why Old Master Chu had not Cultivated for so many years.
He knew his situation very well and understood that as long as he did nothing, both the Chu Family in China and the Chu Family in the Western Secret Realm City would be safe.
However, after Yu Xiu emerged, Old Master Chu's unyielding spirit gradually began to burn fiercely.
Having been restrained for decades, how could the old man once known as Chu Crazy truly be content with such a life?
If it weren't for his Family, for his descendants, Old Master Chu would never have compromised back then.
"Chu Yunzhang, do you really intend to go against our Administration Bureau?"
The leading elder also realized the disparity between the four of them and Old Master Chu, and couldn't help but threaten, "Although the higher-ups have always felt indebted to you, if you harm us, that trace of guilt will completely disappear."
"Once that happens, without the restraint from above, those who want to destroy your Chu Family will immediately jump out."
"You'd best think carefully whether you still want to remain so stubbornly deluded."
Old Master Chu snorted, "A bunch of cowards. When you can't win, you resort to threats. This is all the ambition you'll ever have in this life."
As his words fell, Old Master Chu flashed and retreated.
