Chapter 62
Killing Game
The method of cultivating immortals? The treasures of the immortal family? The ancestors of Chu State?
The conditions offered by Chu Xiong were quite generous. If other people had heard this, they would have been tempted.
But Su Chen still looked calm.
He really wants the treasures and methods of the Immortal Family, but it would not be a good thing if he became the ancestor of the Chu Kingdom.
Then you have to fight for the Chu State. With responsibility, you are bound.
He didn't want to be like Chu Xiong.
If you have the strength, are in a good mood, and help someone you like, that's a favor.
Otherwise, you are like a nanny who relies on you when something happens. How can you be carefree?
As for the treasures in Chu Xiong's hands, they are coveted by so many people now. Once he dies, the heroes will definitely fight for them.
Don’t you have to fight for it and fight to the death with others?
"Senior is really good at calculating. If you die, these treasures will naturally become ownerless. Everyone will come to fight for them, and I can also take action. Even if I get it in the end, I will snatch it with my strength. Senior will use this
It would be too insincere to make a deal."
Su Chen shook his head.
He sees things thoroughly and will never ignore the dangers contained therein just because of the immediate benefits.
"My little friend is really cautious."
Chu Xiong laughed loudly when he heard this.
If Su Chen had agreed right away, he might have changed his mind instead, because such a restless person would not be able to truly achieve anything, and the Chu State would not be able to trust the future.
Su Chen's caution and calmness made him even more optimistic.
Then he smiled proudly and said: "If I am worried about those young people hiding in the dark, then there is no need to worry. How do you think the news of my imminent death spread?"
After hearing this, Su Chen also understood.
He had read a martial arts novel before. In it, there was a Quanzhen cult leader who was the best in the world. Before his death, he deliberately faked his death and attracted the Western Poison Ouyang Feng, who severely injured him with one palm.
I have not dared to set foot in the Central Plains for ten years.
It's hard to say that this royal family ancestor also has such an idea.
"Is the news deliberately spread by senior?"
"good."
Chu Xiong nodded.
"The great Chu established the country with force, and there are still many old monsters in the world. Chu Feng restricted martial arts and suppressed the martial arts sects in those days. These old monsters are holding their breath in their hearts, but they don't dare to mess around because they are still alive.
If I die and they get the inheritance, they will definitely cause chaos. In addition, there are a few strong guys on the Nanman side. Now that the two countries are at war, if their strength goes one step further, the great Chu will be in danger..."
"So, you want to take this opportunity to burn yourself and get rid of it once and for all?"
"I don't have much life left. I can only support one battle at most. I hope I can win a few more backers in this battle and bring twenty years of peace to the Chu country. As for what happens after that, I have to rely on my little friend.
…”
Chu Xiong finally put forward his own conditions.
I hope that after receiving his treasure inheritance, Su Chen can become the Chu State's enshrined grandmaster and protect the Chu State's safety.
to be honest.
Chu Xiong's arrangement is quite appropriate. An innate master who fights to the death is enough to deal with those intruders.
But he didn't want to take responsibility for it.
Protect the Chu State, and how long will you protect it?
One year, ten years, or a lifetime?
I have a long life, and sooner or later I will leave here and go to a wider world. There is no reason to be tied up for this reason.
Think about it.
Su Chen still said: "I'm used to keeping a low profile. I just want to be the Grand Protector of the country. As for protecting Chu State, I don't have the leisure..."
"Little friend, don't refuse in a hurry. I'm here today. Since I'm cooperating, of course I will bring enough sincerity."
Chu Xiong said, raising his hand and waving.
I saw the gray mist swirling, and a yellowed bamboo slip emerged, and then flew towards Su Chen.
"This is the experience I gained when I broke through the innateness. As a sign of sincerity, I would like to give it to my little friend first. It may help you take this final step."
The innate master’s breakthrough experience?
This is indeed good stuff.
Especially for Su Chen's current situation, its value is better than any ordinary martial arts secret book, and it is truly rare to find.
But he still wasn't in a hurry to accept it.
I am still weighing the pros and cons in my mind.
He already knew Chu Xiong's plan now. Even if he didn't agree, he would still be able to benefit after the bloody battle between Chu Xiong and others.
But the other party definitely wants this too.
If he refuses, there is no way that Chu Xiong will attack himself first in order to silence him. It would be unwise to fight a dying man for nothing.
Think of this.
Su Chen decided to take a step back.
He said: "Senior is very sincere, so I won't beat around the bush. I can't delay my own practice for the sake of Chu State. But I can make you a promise. If Prince Jin ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, I will help you in times of disaster.
He took action once, but only once."
Since Chu Xiong is willing to give the protective jade pendant to Prince Jin, he should be very optimistic about him.
Su Chen also liked this kid, so he was willing to take action for him in the future.
"Besides that, I can also promise senior that if there is any genius suitable for cultivation in the Chu royal family in the future, I can pass on your skills to ensure that the Chu family's inheritance will not be cut off. As for other more,
I’m sorry I can’t promise.”
Su Chen made his own conditions.
After hearing this, Chu Xiong thought about it and found that although it did not meet his initial expectations, it was just within the range he could accept.
After all, he has no other choice now.
Otherwise, he would not have rashly approached Su Chen.
In fact, he also understands that it is somewhat difficult to tie up an innate grandmaster who can break through at any time with just a promise.
It's already great to get him to agree to take action once and pass on the skills.
If he didn't agree, he would kill Su Chen at all costs, so what?
After his death, his inheritance and treasures will still be snatched away by others, and the Chu Kingdom will also decline as a result.
Moreover.
As long as he gets his inheritance, he believes that Su Chen will not really sit back and ignore the Chu Kingdom.
"Hey, that's all. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. There's only so much I can do."
Chu Xiong sighed.
Finally, he agreed to Su Chen's conditions and told him that he would fake his own death three months later, the day before New Year's Eve.
On that day, the emperor would arrange to worship his ancestors in advance and stay in the palace outside the imperial mausoleum at night.
By then, the palace defense will be empty and the palace will become a battlefield.
The absence of the emperor and Prince Jin can also prevent them from being harmed.
Su Chen doesn't need to intervene. He can only enter Guanyun Pavilion and collect the treasure after he kills those who covet it.
After talking about business, Chu Xiong's figure gradually melted into the gray mist.
Su Chen also woke up from his dream and found that it was already dark outside. He was still lying on the chair in the yard, and there was a yellowed bamboo slip in his hand.
