Chu Xiu's act of pretending to be a member of the Dragon Rider Imperial Guard was not a risky move. Rather, he was confident that he would not be seen through by the people of White Tiger Hall.
There was no name on the Dragon Rider Imperial Guard's waist tag, only the military organization they belonged to. Let alone a newly joined organization like White Tiger Hall, not even the other members of the Dragon Rider Imperial Guard would be able to recognize Chu Xiu.
The reason was simple. The Dragon Rider Imperial Guard belonged to the imperial family of Eastern Qi, but they did not only listen to the orders of a single prince, but also all members of the imperial family.
In this sort of environment, apart from working alone, the Dragon Rider Imperial Guard would mostly carry out missions in groups of five. As such, unless they were in the same group, even if everyone was from the same camp, they might not be able to recognize each other.
In fact, if this person from White Tiger Hall told Eastern Qi's second prince about Chu Xiu, as long as Eastern Qi's second prince did not send people to investigate the Dragon Rider Imperial Guard's roster, the second prince might not be able to see anything wrong.
He had so many Dragon Rider Imperial Guard subordinates scouring the world to collect treasures and other things for him, so how could he remember everyone's names?
The Heavenly Sin Division Leader and the others all looked at Chu Xiu in shock. At this moment, even the Heavenly Sin Division Leader could not figure out Chu Xiu's background. Could he really be a member of the Dragon Rider Imperial Guard?
It was no secret that Chu Xiu was born in Wei Prefecture, and Wei Prefecture had previously belonged to Eastern Qi. As such, it was possible that Chu Xiu had secretly joined the Dragon Rider Imperial Guard.
However, after thinking about it carefully, it did not seem right. If Chu Xiu really was a member of the Dragon Rider Imperial Guard, why had he been chased so miserably back in Linzhong Prefecture? In fact, when the Heavenly Sin Division Leader took action, Chu Xiu had almost been surrounded and killed.
However, Heavenly Sin Division Leader didn't have much time to think about it. The White Tiger Hall martial artist looked at the token on Chu Xiu's body. After confirming that there was no mistake, he grinned at Heavenly Sin Division Leader and said, "Blue Dragon Society's little loaches, it's been a while since I've fought. Today, I'll use you to start off with!"
The White Tiger Hall's cultivator wasn't spouting malicious words. He was speaking the truth.
The White Tiger Hall's cultivation method focused on sharpness and slaughter. Everything had to be cultivated through slaughter.
However, the White Tiger Hall had offended most of the martial arts sects in Eastern Qi due to their excessive killings. Therefore, they had been keeping a low profile for a long time. Now that they had encountered Heavenly Sin Branch Leader, they could finally go on a killing spree.
The headquarters had instructed them not to cause any trouble and not to casually provoke other sects, but they didn't say that they couldn't look for their old enemy, the Blue Dragon Society!
With a loud bang, a scarlet aura filled with killing intent erupted. As the White Tiger Hall brawny man slashed out with his saber, killing intent soared into the sky!
White Tiger Malevolent God Shield!
The White Tiger Hall's White Tiger Malevolent God Shield was very similar to Chu Xiu's Blood Refined God Shield. However, the martial intent contained within was different.
Chu Xiu's Blood Refined God Shield was unsheathed and condensed a powerful blood aura. Its might was astonishing, and the powerful blood aura could suppress any strange power. If it seeped into the opponent's body, it could even corrode the opponent's blood and energy. It was incomparably evil.
However, the White Tiger Hall's White Tiger Malevolent God Shield was much simpler and more direct. The White Tiger of the West belonged to Yu Jin, and it specialized in slaughter. The White Tiger Malevolent God Shield condensed killing intent and boundless sharpness to the extreme. It could be said to be extremely ferocious.
The White Tiger Hall's White Tiger Malevolent God Shield was an existence of the same realm as Heavenly Sin Branch Leader. However, his cultivation was clearly more profound than Heavenly Sin Branch Leader's. That violent aura immediately suppressed Heavenly Sin Branch Leader.
The other martial artists of the White Tiger Hall also rushed forward and started fighting with Tang Ya and the others.
Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed as he said in a loud voice, "Senior of the White Tiger Hall, I still have to return to Eastern Qi to hand over the treasure to the Second Prince. I'll have to rely on Senior to defend here."
The White Tiger Hall's brawny man casually said as he fought, "Let's go. Leave these little loaches of the Blue Dragon Society to me!"
Chu Xiu glanced at the battle situation. The White Tiger Hall had actually brought fewer people. Chen Jiao, who had been severely injured by Chu Xiu, was actually hiding to the side and hadn't made a move. When he saw Chu Xiu's gaze, he immediately took a step back, his eyes filled with fear.
Just now, when Chu Xiu used the Great Vajra Wheel Seal, he already knew the gap between him and Chu Xiu. It was absolutely a world of difference.
If he recklessly tried to stop Chu Xiu, he would be courting death.
Chu Xiu smiled at Chen Jiao, but he didn't continue to attack. Instead, he turned around and left.
He was just a small character who was used to changing the direction of the wind. Killing him at a time like this would be a waste of time.
After leaving, Chu Xiu exploded with all his strength. However, he didn't go to Eastern Qi. Instead, he followed the border of Eastern Qi and prepared to head to Guanzhong.
Previously, Chu Xiu had indeed planned to go to Eastern Qi. However, now that this had happened, although Chu Xiu was confident that his impersonation of a Dragon Rider Imperial Guard wouldn't be exposed, it was best for him not to go to Eastern Qi just in case.
Among the three great countries in the world, Eastern Qi was the one with the deepest waters. Because of its vast territory, nearly half of the major sects in Jianghu were in the Eastern Qi Realm. With Chu Xiu's current strength, if he dared to continue causing trouble in Eastern Qi, his fate would probably be much worse than when he was in Northern Yan.
During the day, not only did Chu Xiu inform the people of the White Tiger Hall to come, but he was also thinking about his next step.
Right now, Chu Xiu had offended too many people. He seemed to need a backer or a place that could cleanse his identity.
The so-called good and evil were just nonsense. The monks of the Great Light Temple always said that one could become a Buddha after putting down the butcher's knife. The Great Light Temple also took in many evil villains who were willing to convert to Buddhism.
Now, Chu Xiu only had the nickname of Blood Demon. This was referring to his methods, but it didn't mean that he had truly fallen into the evil path. As long as he could find a suitable backer, temporarily cleansing his identity would not be a problem.
Originally, the Blue Dragon Society could be Chu Xiu's backer. However, later on, Chu Xiu realized that even without the incident with the Heavenly Sin Branch Leader, the Blue Dragon Society's style of doing things was too extreme.
An assassin's organization was just an assassin's organization. Unless Chu Xiu sat in the position of the Heavenly Sin Branch Leader, he would only be a so-called gold medal assassin without much power.
If Chu Xiu was given time, Chu Xiu was confident that he could sit in the position of Branch Leader. However, it would take too long. Moreover, the Blue Dragon Society's reputation was not good. Chu Xiu directly set his sights on other places. The Guanzhong area was the choice that Chu Xiu made after careful consideration.
The Guanzhong area was located in the center of the border between the three countries. Because it was the border of the three countries, even though it was not small, it was a chaotic area that was not governed by the three countries. It was constantly invaded by war.
Later on, when the three countries stopped fighting, the Guanzhong area became a convenient place for the three countries to trade with each other. Of course, it was also a convenient place for smuggling. The things that were prohibited by the three countries were all transported through the Guanzhong area to the enemy countries.
In the beginning, there was no order in the Guanzhong area. Later on, the Guanzhong area became more and more chaotic. Then, the local martial artists, as well as some extremely famous martial artists and rogue cultivators, joined forces to form the Guanzhong Torture Room to control the order in the Guanzhong area.
The Guanzhong Torture Room's history was not long. It had only been three hundred years. Moreover, the change of power was very fast. In these three hundred years, there had been eight Hall Leaders. It was not until thirty years ago that the Guanzhong Torture Room could be considered to have truly risen.
Thirty years ago, the 'Iron Judge' Guan Siyu took over the position of Hall Leader of the Guanzhong Torture Room. Internally, she reorganized the order of the Guanzhong Torture Room. She was unyielding and impartial.
Externally, Guan Siyu contacted the Northern Yan, Eastern Qi, and Western Chu. She made the three countries realize that they indeed needed a buffer zone, and the Guanzhong area was a good choice.
Therefore, the three countries signed a treaty. From then on, the Guanzhong area was an absolutely neutral area. Any trade between the three countries must be carried out openly in the Guanzhong area. Any smuggling of prohibited items would be suppressed by the Guanzhong Torture Room.
From then on, the Guanzhong Torture Room became a very special existence. It was in between the palace and the pugilistic world.
Although the Guanzhong Torture Room was recognized by the three countries, it was not under the jurisdiction of any of them. Even the power of the three countries could not penetrate into the Guanzhong Torture Room. As an absolutely neutral existence, the Guanzhong Torture Room would not lean towards any side. Therefore, the Guanzhong Torture Room was not considered a military organization of the imperial court.
However, although the Guanzhong Torture Room was born in the wilderness of the pugilistic world, its later role was to monitor the order of the Guanzhong area. The main target of monitoring was the martial arts forces in the Guanzhong area. Its role was somewhat similar to some military organizations of the imperial court. Therefore, even though the power of the Guanzhong Torture Room was much stronger than the Jianghu sects such as the Righteous Manor, the Guanzhong Torture Room was actually not included in the Jianghu songs.
Apart from these characteristics, due to the chaotic order of the Guanzhong Torture Room in the past, incidents such as revenge killings and even the destruction of families often occurred.
Therefore, the Guanzhong Torture Room trained a large number of Jianghu constables to be in charge of these matters.
The Jianghu constables of the Guanzhong Torture Room were very famous in the pugilistic world. Among them, the most experienced constables could even analyze all the martial arts and fighting steps of the two parties just by looking at the corpses. It was almost like a replay.
Therefore, when some sects or the imperial court needed to investigate something, they would even specially come to the Guanzhong area and invite a few Jianghu constables to help.
Chu Xiu set his sights on the Guanzhong area. Naturally, he wanted to join the Guanzhong Torture Room.
In terms of tolerance, there was probably no place in the pugilistic world that could compare to the Guanzhong Torture Room. The former Hall Master of the Guanzhong Torture Room, the Iron Judge Guan Siyu, had even said to the whole pugilistic world that the Guanzhong Torture Room only looked at ability and did not look at one's background.
As long as one had the ability and could abide by the rules of the Guanzhong Torture Room, then one could join the Guanzhong Torture Room.
It was also because of Guan Siyu's magnanimous way of doing things in the past that a large number of Jianghu people from the wilderness came to join. That was why the Guanzhong Torture Room rose so quickly.
