93: Servant of the God of War
At this moment, Chu Tianjiao’s father looked at the corpses strewn everywhere and asked in surprise.
“The people who ambushed you, they couldn’t have been… already dealt with, could they?”
“But I heard there were thousands of people attacking, and many Martial Venerables among them!”
Seeing his expression, Old Master Deng chuckled, “Little Chu! The crisis has indeed been resolved, thank you for coming all this way.”
“Really resolved?” Chu Tianjiao’s father looked at the number of people on Yu Xiu’s side and asked in surprise, “You two hundred-plus people fought against several thousand, and with so many Martial Venerables among them, how did you win?”
When this question was asked, everyone looked at Yu Xiu.
Chu Tianjiao’s father also noticed everyone’s gaze and asked in a probing tone, “It couldn’t have been Yu Xiu who won, could it?”
“Exactly, it was indeed Yu Xiu who won. To be precise, Yu Xiu single-handedly repelled the attack of thousands of people.”
Old Master Deng explained, “Yu Xiu was hiding his strength again; he is actually a Martial King.”
“Hiding his strength again?”
“A Martial King?”
Chu Tianjiao’s father’s expression suddenly stiffened.
Old Deng’s words were clearly contradictory and awkward, yet why did they sound so agreeable?
Especially the 'hiding his strength again' part.
It seemed very reasonable!
Just the Martial King Realm.
If he remembered correctly, Yu Xiu was only seventeen years old now, wasn't he?
If those people from the Secret Realm City were excluded, Yu Xiu was essentially invincible in China.
“You’ll get used to it. In fact, I even suspect Yu Xiu is still hiding his strength; he might very well be in the Martial Emperor Realm.”
As soon as Old Deng said this, Chu Tianjiao’s father immediately exclaimed, “Still hiding his strength? The Martial Emperor Realm?”
“Uncle Deng, are you sure you’re not joking? This… this doesn’t make sense!”
“Doesn’t make sense?” Old Master Deng scoffed, “Everything unreasonable about Yu Xiu is reasonable. Just now, he was flying in the sky! Do you think that makes sense?”
“Flying? Flying in the sky?” Chu Tianjiao’s father looked at Qingshan and the others, saw them all nodding, and his expression became even more spectacular.
It seemed that hiding Martial Emperor strength wasn't so unreasonable after all!
Chu Tianjiao’s father looked at Yu Xiu and immediately thought to himself, “Even if someone tells me tomorrow that Yu Xiu is actually a Martial God, I probably wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.”
From the first time he heard Yu Xiu’s name.
At that time, he was only in the Grandmaster Realm.
Then, in a blink of an eye, a Great Grandmaster.
Then, in another blink of an eye, rumors spread that Yu Xiu was hiding his strength and was actually a Martial Venerable.
Now, again, hiding his strength.
His strength had reached Martial King.
And there were Yu Xiu’s various hidden Talents; it was as if Yu Xiu was a bottomless pit.
Just when you thought this was Yu Xiu’s limit, he would reveal another trump card.
It seemed Chen Sihai had also expressed such a sentiment back then.
“Those dog-like members of the Blood God Sect, the next time I catch them, I will definitely kill them.”
“Lord Yu Xiu, this was all my fault. The reinforcements arrived late…”
At this moment, the Huangquan Tower Manager arrived, cursing, but when he saw the corpses all around, his words stopped abruptly.
“It’s already over?”
“It’s over!”
Chu Tianjiao’s father answered him.
“Don’t ask too many questions. I’ll tell you the details later!”
The Huangquan Tower Manager looked at Chu Tianjiao’s father and finally nodded.
Now everyone was looking at Yu Xiu.
Waiting for him to give orders.
“First, let’s go to Qiusuo Town to rest!”
As his words fell, Yu Xiu walked towards the quest stele again and sealed it.
From now on, it would be impossible for anyone to obtain the assessment.
The remaining Legacy in the quest stele was for his own team members.
The reason he wasn't letting the dead soldiers around him enter now was mainly because they had already overdrawn their potential and had no future.
Giving the tomb Legacy to them would also be a waste.
However, he could let the dead soldiers soak in the Qi Pavilion’s pool later.
But not now.
This place was now the focus of all four directions.
Once Yu Xiu brought people in, it was estimated that before he even left the west, tens of thousands of people would flock to trouble him again.
It might even attract powerful experts like Martial Kings, Martial Emperors, and possibly even Martial Saints.
Perhaps others didn't know what the Qiusuo Realm was, but those who had obtained the tomb Legacy were very clear.
Once a Martial Saint arrived.
Yu Xiu admitted he was no match.
Even if he was protected by the state, in the eyes of a Martial Saint, what good was protection?
Strength was the symbol of everything.
…
After a long while.
Yu Xiu and the others walked into Qiusuo Town. Passersby immediately recognized Yu Xiu, this ruthless person who had humiliated the Hai Family and remained unharmed.
Moreover, Yu Xiu had so many people following him now, each with profound Qi.
A moment later.
They arrived in front of the Hai Family manor.
Fourth Master Hai, who had witnessed everything, was now utterly respectful towards Yu Xiu.
A seventeen-year-old Martial King!
And with the assistance of the Qin Province Chu Family and the Huangquan Tower.
Such a combined force, a hundred Hai Families would be no match.
“Lord Yu Xiu!”
The Hai Family Head personally came to the manor entrance to greet them, accompanied by his three sons.
However, this time, they were surprisingly well-behaved, always bowing their heads and not saying a word.
“The banquet has been prepared.”
Earlier, Fourth Master Hai had already sent someone to inform the Hai Family Head to prepare the banquet.
However, he hadn't had time to explain what had happened at the quest stele.
Walking into the manor.
Due to the large number of people this time, the Hai Family Head arranged the banquet in the open-air courtyard.
“Lord Yu Xiu, and all the esteemed adults, please quickly take your seats.”
After the Hai Family Head invited Yu Xiu and the others to sit, Fourth Master Hai immediately winked at his father, and the two went aside.
And the Hai Family Third Son behind them, seeing his father leave, also dared not stay here and followed closely behind.
“Father, Lord Yu Xiu is not as simple as we imagined.”
“He… how should I put it!”
Fourth Master Hai took a deep breath, then meticulously recounted everything: Yu Xiu climbing the quest stele, then fighting against thousands of attackers, and hiding his Martial King Realm.
“Father, the situation is becoming increasingly unclear. If our Hai Family wants to survive, I think we must pledge allegiance to Lord Yu Xiu.”
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime Opportunity for our Hai Family.”
The Hai Family Head frowned, “But Lord Yu Xiu has provoked so many enemies. Once we pledge allegiance, if those people don't dare to target Lord Yu Xiu and instead vent their anger on our Hai Family, then we will truly be doomed.”
Fourth Master Hai said, “Father, no Opportunity can be without risk.”
“Lord Yu Xiu is only seventeen years old now, already a Martial King expert, and he has climbed the quest stele. What will his strength be like in the future? A Martial God? Or perhaps a Martial God?”
“Let’s take a gamble. If our Hai Family wins this gamble, then in the future, what will our Hai Family be? A Martial God’s servant.”
A Martial God’s servant?
The Hai Family Head’s breathing suddenly hitched.
He had to admit, his Fourth Master had used the term perfectly, making his heart stir.
Let alone a Martial God’s servant.
Even a dog by a Martial God’s side would make a Martial Saint bow and scrape.
“Should we gamble?”
“We must gamble!”
Fourth Master Hai nodded heavily, then looked at his three older brothers and said coldly, “But the prerequisite is that the three of them must kowtow and apologize to Lord Yu Xiu.”
