"Faction Leader Chu, I've heard of your name, Sir God Five Poisons.”
Cao Zhengchun sat in the pavilion, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand as he said in a sharp voice.
"It's just a rumor spread by the people in the martial arts world.”Chu Xiao walked towards the pavilion.
The title of Five Poisons Divine Lord was not spread by him. It was given to him by those nosy Jianghu people.
Normally, it didn't matter if he said it, but facing an expert like Cao Zhengchun, if he still called himself a Divine Lord, it would be too laughable.
Chu Xiao stepped onto the first stone step.
Cao Zhengchun's tone changed and he suddenly questioned,""I heard that you killed the Cakravarti King?"
"That's right." Chu Xiao admitted directly.
" Humph!" Cao Zhengchun snorted coldly." Then do you know how much the Cakravarti King has done for me and how much money he has earned?"
Before you killed the Cakravarti King, did you consider my opinion?”
At this point, Cao Zhengchun slammed the table and stood up abruptly, shouting,""Chu Xiao, do you know your sins?"
Then, without waiting for Chu Xiao to respond, Cao Zhengchun circulated his internal energy and slapped Chu Xiao's chest without saying anything.
This palm contained a deep amount of internal energy, and its momentum was extraordinary. Even if he did not use his full strength, it would not be much different.
This was Cao Zhengchun's first test. If Chu Xiao accepted it, it would naturally be easy. Whether it was killing the Cakravarti King or delaying the business, these old scores could be put behind them.
However, if he couldn't take it, Cao Zhengchun would have to use his skills.
To Cao Zhengchun, only people of equal strength could cooperate. The weak were only worthy of being his subordinates.
"Faction Leader, be careful!"
Outside the pavilion, Lei Bin and Cai Shishi saw Cao Zhengchun's sudden attack and their expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly reminded Chu Xiao.
However, these two people had forgotten that even they had reacted. Chu Xiao, who had a higher realm, would only react faster.
Facing Cao Zhengchun's palm, Chu Xiao stood still and did not move. He had no intention of dodging.
He was clear that this was Cao Zhengchun's test. There was no point in dodging. He could only fight with brute strength. From the information he had received in the past, Cao Zhengchun had not broken through to the Great Grandmaster Realm. Chu Xiao was not afraid of anyone as they were both Grandmasters. Moreover, his Five Poison Divine Technique was more domineering and had an advantage among those of the same level.
Chu Xiao circulated the Five Poisons Divine Technique, and the internal strength in his body rapidly condensed. Then, he struck out with his palm.
Bang!
Their palms collided in the air, and the collision of their internal strength produced an explosive sound.
The residual internal strength spread to both sides, causing the surrounding dust to fly up. The flowers and plants were all broken, and the trees rustled.
Just a wave of palms almost destroyed this garden.
In the next moment, the two palms separated. Chu Xiao and Cao Zhengchun took a few steps back at the same time. They were evenly matched.
The two of them had deep internal strength. Although they retreated, they were not injured.
Cao Zhengchun's expression was solemn at this moment. He sized up Chu Xiao carefully, and he no longer had the nonchalance from before.
He did not expect that Chu Xiao's internal energy would be so dense and overbearing at such a young age. He could actually fight head-on with the Tiangang Boy Technique that he had practiced for decades.
"No wonder he could kill the Cakravarti King.”Cao Zhengchun thought.
Just as he was about to say some polite words to Chu Xiao, Cao Zhengchun suddenly sensed that something was wrong. He felt a slight numbness in his palm.
Looking down, Cao Zhengchun realized that his entire left hand had turned black. It was obvious that he had been poisoned.
"Disperse!"
Cao Zhengchun's eyes flashed with surprise. He immediately activated the Tiangang Boy Technique and gathered his inner strength in his left hand, dispersing all the poisonous gas.
Seeing that his palm had returned to normal, Cao Zhengchun let out a breath of turbid air. He then flung his sleeves and placed his hands behind his back.
Cao Zhengchun had heard that Chu Xiao cultivated an extremely tyrannical poison technique, but he had never expected it to be so tyrannical.
With just a single palm strike, the poison gas had already invaded his body.
One had to know that Cao Zhengchun had been famous for a long time. He had been in the Grandmaster Realm for countless years. His inner strength was extremely deep, and he also had the Yang qi brought by the Tiangang Boy Technique.
It was enough to show how terrifying the Five Poisons Divine Technique was. If it was someone else, it would probably be even worse.
Now, Cao Zhengchun had no intention of fighting Chu Xiao. Not only did he fail to suppress Chu Xiao with one palm strike, he even suffered a small loss.
Cao Zhengchun narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Xiao cautiously. He said,""Leader Chu, your Five Poison Divine Technique is indeed overbearing.”
Chu Xiao also understood Cao Zhengchun's strength at this time. He thought to himself," As expected of Supervisor Cao, who is said to be on par with the world's heroes. He is definitely an expert even among the grandmasters."
"Supervisor Cao, I wonder if I can replace the Cakravarti King and work with you?”Like Cao Zhengchun, Chu Xiao placed his hands behind his back and said indifferently.
This was a signal that neither of them intended to continue fighting.
Cao Zhengchun laughed and said in a shrill voice,""In the Yangtze River, the new generation surpasses the old. Sect Leader Chu has extraordinary strength, so there's naturally no problem with cooperating.”
Cao Zhengchun walked back to the pavilion and said to Chu Xiao,""Faction Leader Chu, please take a seat."
Chu Xiao didn't stand on ceremony with him. He walked to the pavilion and sat down.
Wan Yu Tower was very perceptive. They knew that Cao Zhengchun had acknowledged Chu Xiao's strength and they were going to talk about serious business. Thus, they took the initiative to leave and went to the pavilion to wait with Lei Bincai.
In the pavilion.
Cao Zhengchun and Chu Xiao sat facing each other.
"I didn't expect that there would be a figure like Sect Leader Chu in the black stone. He's so young, heroes really come from the young.”Cao Zhengchun praised.
"Governor Cao, you flatter me."
Chu Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip. He said lightly,""Since there's no problem with the cooperation, let's talk about the division of profits.”
"Split?" Cao Zhengchun was stunned.
" I know that the Cakravarti King and Supervisor Cao agreed on a 40 - 60 split," said Chu Xiao." But now that the Cakravarti King is dead, this ratio is no longer valid."”
"Then in Sect Leader Chu's opinion, how much should we split it?”Cao Zhengchun asked with interest.
Chu Xiao raised his hand and spread his five fingers." 50 - 50, you and I will each take half."”
Cao Zhengchun was not angry. He chuckled and asked,""I'm the one who contributed the most to this business of buying and selling official positions. What makes Sect Leader Chu confident that he can get an extra 10%?”
"It's very simple. The Cakravarti King was a good-for-nothing and died in my hands," said Chu Xiao in a deep voice. I'm stronger than him. Do I have to take the same share as a piece of trash? Naturally, I want to take an additional 10%."
Cao Zhengchun laughed out loud when he heard these unreasonable but domineering words. He clapped his hands and praised,""Good! What a great Five Poisons Divine Lord! Your courage is indeed extraordinary."
Cao Zhengchun had always cherished talents, so Chu Xiao was not angry when he said that. Instead, he admired him.
"No problem, 50 - 50 it is. Leader Chu's strength is worthy of me making an exception.”Cao Zhengchun picked up his teacup and said,"Tea in place of wine."”
"Please." Chu Xiao drank a cup of tea.
Cao Zhengchun suddenly thought of something and said,""Chief Chu, you have such achievements at such a young age. Your future is boundless. Why do you have to stay in a small black stone?”
"What does Supervisor Cao mean?"
"The Black Rock is just an assassination organization," Cao Zhengchun said patiently."Leader Chu has completely buried his own talents."
Why don't you come to the East Chamber? I'll give you the position of Deputy Supervisor. After I retire, you'll have the final say in the East Chamber. How about it?”
Cao Zhengchun saw that Chu Xiao was a talent, so he started to love him.
"I accept Supervisor Cao's good intentions, but I have no intention of leaving the black stone.”Chu Xiao said lightly.
"Really? His position in the East Military Hall was only below one person and above tens of thousands of people. Wasn't it a hundred times stronger than Black Rock?”
Chu Xiao was unmoved and still shook his head.
Cao Zhengchun sighed and said,"Since Leader Chu insists, then fine."”
Everyone had their own aspirations, so Cao Zhengchun couldn't force Chu Xiao.
The two of them chatted about some business matters, and Cao Zhengchun said,""I heard that Luo Mo's body is also in the hands of Leader Chu?”
When he heard this and thought of Cao Zhengchun's identity as a eunuch, Chu Xiao knew that this old man had the same thoughts as the Cakravarti King and wanted to return to being a normal man.
Chu Xiao immediately replied," Luo Ma's body is in my hands. The effect is indeed miraculous. It can cure all diseases."
However, there was one thing. The rumors of limbs regrowing in the martial world were completely false.”
"I see."
Cao Zhengchun knew that there was no need for Chu Xiao to lie to him. A lonely look flashed across his eyes as he sighed in his heart.
Although he did not have a strong obsession like the Cakravarti King, he was still a eunuch after all. If there was a chance, he would definitely want to take root.
Cao Zhengchun quickly adjusted himself and did not mention anything about Luo Mo's body.
The two of them chatted until the end and got up to leave.
Chu Xiao looked at the scenery around him and his heart moved. He said,""I see that the scenery of this manor is beautiful, and the location is also excellent. This Chu is quite tempted. I wonder if Supervisor Cao can give it up?”
Ever since Chu Xiao came to this world, he had almost never enjoyed himself. When he was an assassin, he only had to kill and cultivate.
Ever since he took control of Blackstone, he had spent all his time in the Tong He Bank.
Now that he saw that the Black Bamboo Manor's environment was not bad, he had some thoughts. Other than staying more comfortably, he could also add a stronghold. Most importantly, the Tonghe Bank was indeed not suitable to stay in. It was not a good thing to be too close to Luoyang.
"I can't say that I'm giving it away. If Chief Chu likes it, then take it.”Cao Zhengchun waved his hand indifferently. This kind of villa was not worth mentioning to him.
