Chapter 45: Firm Support for Chu Xiaotian

Thus, more powerful individuals were called upon to come here, also hoping to get a share of the spoils and take Chu Xiaotian's life. "Thinking of killing me? You're still too naive." Just as the restaurant manager was about to leave the courtyard, suddenly a long sword was placed on his neck, preventing him from moving or crying out loud. The sword emitted a cold aura, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his body stiffened.

"Young hero, please be careful not to slip your hand." The restaurant manager didn't need to guess to know that the person was none other than Chu Xiaotian. "Hmph, tell everyone to leave and then take me out of Yaofeng City." Chu Xiaotian snorted coldly. He had been hiding inside and naturally did not leave the place. After all, he was injured and it was completely impossible to escape from the hands of the strong.

"Okay, as long as you don't kill me, I agree to everything." The restaurant manager, naturally a coward, immediately agreed. Subsequently, under the cover of the restaurant manager, Chu Xiaotian finally left Yaofeng City. Before leaving, Chu Xiaotian knocked out the restaurant manager and then quickly headed towards the imperial capital. The most dangerous place is naturally the safest. So many people wanted his life; they probably wouldn't guess that he would go to the imperial capital to throw himself into the net.

Most importantly, Chu Xiaotian was unclear whether there was anyone in the Divine Sword Academy who wanted his life, so he didn't plan to return to the Divine Sword Academy. Three days later, the news of what happened to Chu Xiaotian in Yaofeng City spread throughout the entire Northern Yan Kingdom. The royal family was furious, increasing the bounty for Chu Xiaotian's capture and even promising that whoever kills Chu Xiaotian would become a first-rank marquis and obtain a spiritual weapon technique...

At the same time, the Divine Sword Academy also made a statement. Anyone who dares to hunt down Chu Xiaotian will henceforth be an enemy of the Divine Sword Academy, and the academy will pursue them to the end. In an instant, the Divine Sword Academy and the royal family were completely at odds with each other.

At the same time, all the major martial institutes in the Northern Yan Kingdom took sides due to the confrontation between the Divine Sword Academy and the royal family. The royal side had three major martial institutes, while the Divine Sword Academy had four. As for the Saint Academy, which was outside the seven major martial institutes, it remained neutral; whoever paid, they would help. Instantly, the entire Northern Yan Kingdom was in turmoil.

The support of the Divine Sword Academy relieved a lot of pressure on Chu Xiaotian. Half a month later, in a restaurant in the imperial capital, a middle-aged man with a big beard, ordinary appearance, and burly figure was eating heartily, occasionally glancing around. This person was none other than Chu Xiaotian after changing his appearance. Chu Xiaotian changed his appearance because he had exchanged points for a disguise technique from the system. It could change not only his appearance but even his aura or bones, so Chu Xiaotian looked like this at the moment.

"Has it become completely chaotic?" Seeing people often fighting in the city, Chu Xiaotian understood. Half a month's time, he naturally learned a lot of things. The Divine Sword Academy directly confronted the royal family for Chu Xiaotian, even making a statement. Anyone who dares to hunt down Chu Xiaotian is an enemy of the Divine Sword Academy. This statement put the Divine Sword Academy directly on the opposite side of the royal family, deeply mired in the quagmire. The Divine Sword Academy, as a martial institute, actually openly confronted the royal family, angering the enemies of the Divine Sword Academy, who openly supported the royal family against the academy. For a time, the seven major martial institutes of the Northern Yan Kingdom were completely opposed, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

At the same time, the independent Saint Academy spoke out, stating that as long as the price was right, they would kill anyone. The entire Northern Yan Kingdom was in turmoil and unpredictable. "Since you want my life, then I'll let you fight amongst yourselves. For now, let the Saint Academy deal with the royal family, and then find a way to eliminate the Saint Academy." Chu Xiaotian sneered. The Saint Academy killed for money and treasures, completely disregarding identity. As long as the price was right, they would dare to attack even the Emperor or the heads of the seven major martial institutes. They were truly lawless.

The base of the Saint Academy was an inconspicuous residence. If no one had told Chu Xiaotian, he wouldn't have believed that this place was one of the bases of the Saint Academy. "Who do you want to kill? There's paper and a pen on the table, just throw it into the room." Upon entering the residence, no one came out to welcome Chu Xiaotian, but a voice sounded. This ethereal voice spread throughout the entire residence, making it impossible to determine where the other party was. It seems the Saint Academy is not simple. It's no weaker than the seven major martial institutes in terms of assassination power.

"Okay." Chu Xiaotian nodded and quickly filled out the list of people he wanted to kill. "Northern Yan Kingdom, princes and nobles, court ministers..." This list targeted the royal family directly. Since the royal family wanted his life, he would shake the entire court. "Are you sure?" The hidden voice asked again after seeing Chu Xiaotian's list, confirming it repeatedly. "Sure!" Chu Xiaotian nodded. "In that case, the deposit is one million." "One million to kill a member of the royal family." "Five hundred thousand to kill a court minister." "If you agree, then pay the deposit first." The hidden voice sounded again. "Okay." Chu Xiaotian wasn't clear about the price of assassination, but he was willing to use money to shake the entire royal family. "This is one million silver notes." Chu Xiaotian threw the silver notes into the room. After the other party confirmed, they then accepted Chu Xiaotian's mission. "This is our Saint Academy's unique token. Take it with you. After the assassination of one person, someone will come to you to get our reward." A dark black token was thrown out of the room. "Okay." Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian nodded and then left the place. "It seems this guy has a grudge against our royal family. Immediately mobilize all forces to find out who this person is and kill him without mercy." Just as Chu Xiaotian left, suddenly a cold voice sounded, chilling to the bone. From his words, it seems that the relationship between the Saint Academy and the royal family is not simple. "Yes." As this word fell, someone respectfully responded and then quickly left the place to identify Chu Xiaotian's identity. Meanwhile, the Saint Academy issued a kill order. Completely opposing the royal family, someone offered a reward of ten thousand taels for the personnel of the royal family and the court ministers. Instantly, the entire court was shaken, and people were in panic. After

 Chu Xiaotian left, he naturally didn't know the subsequent events. You can't hide a fire with paper; the relationship between the Saint Academy and the royal family will eventually be exposed. Back at the restaurant.
