Wei Hanshan did not have a close relationship with the Jiang family. After knowing that the Jiang family was destroyed by Chu Xiu, Wei Hanshan was so angry because Chu Xiu had affected his interests.
The Jiang family had promised to transfer a part of their business to the Shangzhou Prefecture, so that he could also get a part of the filial piety. But now that the Jiang family was destroyed by Chu Xiu, who could he ask for his part of the filial piety?
Moreover, Chu Xiu's way of doing things was simply breaking the rules.
It was normal for some sects or aristocratic families in Guanzhong to secretly do some illegal but highly profitable business such as smuggling. As long as they did not cause too much trouble, basically no one would care.
But at the same time, these sects and aristocratic families would also give some filial piety to their superiors to let them go or pretend that they did not see what they had done. These were some of the unspoken rules that the Guanzhong torture room had in secret.
But now, Chu Xiu's domineering behavior had broken these unspoken rules. Although Chu Xiu was doing this in his own territory, he was representing the Guanzhong torture room. His actions did not only implicate him!
"What nonsense!"
Wei Hanshan snorted coldly. He immediately called for people to change into the clothes of the Guanzhong torture room and go to the Jianzhou Prefecture.
These secret unspoken rules were not set by the Guanzhong torture room, but they were the benefits that the inspectors obtained after compromising with the local martial arts forces. It was unknown whether the entire Guanzhong torture room was like this, but it was what they did in Guanxi.
Now that Chu Xiu, a newcomer who did not know anything, broke these unspoken rules, it was hard to guarantee that Wei Hanshan and the other inspectors would not be treated as enemies by the sects in the martial arts world. When that happened, it would be difficult to collect the money.
…
In the Jianzhou Prefecture, Chu Xiu was personally leading people to divide the treasures and resources obtained from the Jiang family.
Although these things were in triplicate, they could not be distributed at will. Naturally, they had to prioritize their own interests first.
Therefore, Chu Xiu would make a selection in advance and let others categorize them according to his standards. Then, he would choose what he needed first.
At this moment, Du Guangzhong suddenly walked in and said, "Milord, the Shang Prefecture's Patrol Inspector Wei Hanshan is here."
Chu Xiu frowned. "What is he doing here?"
Chu Xiu hadn't forgotten Wei Hanshan's attitude towards him when they were at the Guanxi Torture Hall's branch. It wasn't friendly at all.
Du Guangzhong smiled bitterly and said, "Sir Wei's mood seems to be somewhat bad, so this subordinate did not dare to ask too much."
"Then let's go meet him," Chu Xiu said lightly.
With Wei Hanshan's sudden visit, Chu Xiu could roughly guess the other party's intentions.
Apart from him destroying the Jiang Clan, what else could attract the other party's attention?
When Chu Xiu arrived at the meeting hall, Wei Hanshan was already sitting there waiting with a gloomy expression. When he saw Chu Xiu walk in, Wei Hanshan immediately snorted coldly and said, "Chu Xiu, how dare you! You've only taken over as Patrol Inspector for a few days, yet you've already caused such a huge commotion. You actually dared to destroy the Jiang Clan, a family with such a long history, without any evidence. Do you still have any respect for the Guanzhong Torture Room's rules? "
Chu Xiu sat down calmly and took a sip of tea. Then, he raised two fingers and said lightly, "First, I have evidence to destroy the Jiang Clan. I, Chu Xiu, have always done things with reason and evidence. Why would I take action without evidence?"
"Second." Chu Xiu raised his head and revealed a trace of coldness in his eyes. He said, "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to control whether I'm bold or not? Don't forget that you and I are both Inspectors. You can't control me if you want to meddle in other people's business! "
When he heard Chu Xiu's words, Wei Hanshan's expression immediately became extremely gloomy.
Indeed, he and Chu Xiu were both Inspectors. However, Chu Xiu was only a Physical Invulnerability expert, while he was already an expert who had condensed the Three Flowers above the Crown.
Wei Hanshan laughed coldly at the other party's provocation and said, "Who do I think I am? Fine, fine, fine. Today, I'll show you who I really am! Don't think that just because you joined the Guanzhong Torture Room and became an Inspector, you can be on equal footing with us Inspectors of Guanxi. Whether it's inside the Guanzhong Torture Room or outside the Guanzhong Torture Room, it all depends on strength! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a long, narrow, and slender silver-white long saber appeared in Wei Hanshan's hand. A dense chill lingered on the edge of the saber. When the saber slashed out, the icy cold Gang Qi was like a silver waterfall, slashing toward Chu Xiu!
Chu Xiu moved later but arrived first. The Blood Refined Divine Gang on the Red Sleeve Saber soared, and the scarlet Gang Qi collided with Wei Hanshan's saber. Suddenly, there was an explosion of Gang Qi. Both Wei Hanshan's Gang Qi and the saber's Gang Qi disappeared in mid-air. It was actually a draw.
Wei Hanshan's eyes suddenly revealed a touch of surprise. He didn't use his full strength in that attack just now. After all, they were both Inspectors. He could teach Chu Xiu a lesson, but he couldn't kill Chu Xiu in public.
Even so, he was still a realm stronger than Chu Xiu. Unexpectedly, Chu Xiu's Gang Qi was really terrifying. That Gang Qi, which contained an astonishing amount of blood Qi and evil Qi, could easily block his Gang Qi.
Wei Hanshan snorted coldly and changed the momentum of his saber. Endless cold Qi condensed on the edge of his saber, and the Gang Qi stretched for dozens of feet. In terms of accumulation, he was, after all, an expert who had condensed the Three Flowers Above the Head. In terms of strength, his strength far exceeded Chu Xiu's.
The momentum of the saber whistled down like a gale. Wherever it passed, the cold Qi actually condensed a layer of ice on the ground.
The Red Sleeve Saber in Chu Xiu's hand had already condensed a trace of black mist around it. The power of the Three Blades of Avici was displayed and slashed down with a loud bang. The evil chill was even stronger than Wei Hanshan's Ice Gang Qi.
Infernal hell bloomed, and the power of the Three Blades of Avici shocked even Wei Hanshan.
He had been an Inspector in the Guanzhong torture room for several years. He had come into contact with all kinds of demonic murderers, so he had a relatively good understanding of demonic cultivation methods.
However, no matter which demonic murderers' cultivation method, it was not as evil and … terrifying as Chu Xiu's saber!
With a loud explosion of Gang Qi, the Three Blades of Avici directly defeated Wei Hanshan's saber. The power even made Wei Hanshan's heart palpitate.
At this time, Chu Xiu still did not stop. Instead, the black Qi on his saber became thicker. He was actually preparing to break out the second blade of the Three Blades of Avici!
Just as Wei Hanshan had said before, whether it was inside the Guanzhong torture room or outside the Guanzhong torture room, as a warrior, everyone had to look at their strength.
Although Chu Xiu and Wei Hanshan were both Guanxi Inspectors, it was obvious that Wei Hanshan and the others had never treated Chu Xiu as an existence on the same level as them.
If it were someone else, would Wei Hanshan dare to come and reprimand Chu Xiu directly? That would be a provocation. He would only send someone to find out the other party's attitude and background, and would not act as overbearing as he was now.
Therefore, this time, Chu Xiu did not have the slightest intention of holding back. Didn't you want to look at my strength? Fine, today I will show you my strength!
Feeling the power contained in Chu Xiu's saber, Wei Hanshan's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness.
This time, he had only planned to teach Chu Xiu a lesson, but he did not expect his opponent to be so domineering. Moreover, his strength was somewhat beyond his imagination. He was only in the Physical Invulnerability Stage, and yet he was able to fight with him to this extent. No wonder he had entered the Longhu List.
However, a Physical Invulnerability Stage was still a Physical Invulnerability Stage, and the gap of a large realm was not that easy to make up for.
Wei Hanshan grasped the long saber in his hand, and all the Gang Qi in his body condensed on the long saber. The cold Gang Qi actually underwent a very strange change, condensing into ice crystals that circled around his long saber like snowflakes.
In the past, Wei Hanshan had once traveled to the Far North Snow Mountain to observe the scene of an avalanche and comprehend the true meaning of martial arts. He had also once sparred with the warriors of the Far North Snow Mountain, and finally created this move, "Parting Ice Slash," as his trump card.
Unless he was facing an extremely difficult opponent, Wei Hanshan would not use this move easily.
The impact of condensing the Ice True Qi was like an avalanche. It was indeed powerful, but the backlash was also great, so he would not use it often.
But now that he was facing Chu Xiu, he was already forced to this extent by a Physical Invulnerability Stage martial artist. If he did not use his trump card, he might really be at a disadvantage in the hands of Chu Xiu.
Just as the two were about to explode with their strongest attacks, a figure rushed in front of them. His Gang Qi dissipated like a cool breeze, diluting the heavy atmosphere between the two.
The person who suddenly appeared was the Lin State Prefecture's Inspector, Jiang Taoran, who was also one of the Inspectors who worked closely with Chu Xiu.
At this moment, Jiang Taoran cupped his hands in greeting, and said with a smile, "Both of you, we are all colleagues, so why must we fight? The Guanzhong Torture Room is internal strife, and the spectators are outsiders, so please calm down first. "
Seeing Jiang Taoran's appearance, Chu Xiu and Wei Hanshan knew that they would not be able to fight this time, so they snorted coldly and put away their weapons.
But when Chu Xiu looked at Jiang Taoran's smiling face, his eyes revealed a hint of deep meaning.
This person was also not easy to deal with. Lin State City, the center of the Lin State Prefecture, was not far from Jianzhou City, so he should have arrived long ago.
But in the end, he did not appear earlier or later, but waited until the crucial moment of his battle with Wei Hanshan to act as a peacemaker. Clearly, he had his own intentions.
If Chu Xiu did not show his strength, then Jiang Taoran would probably have to wait until he was seriously injured before he stepped in to be the peacemaker. He would not let the matter get out of hand, and at the same time, he would gain his gratitude.
Wei Hanshan looked at Chu Xiu and said coldly, "Chu Xiu, you have run amok and broken the rules of the Guanzhong Torture Room. This matter is not over! I will report this matter to Lord Wei and let him handle it. If we continue to let someone like you be the Inspector, the reputation of the Guanxi Torture Room branch will be ruined by you! "
After saying that, Wei Hanshan snorted coldly and turned to leave.
