From the moment Lin Kaiyun made his move to the moment Chu Xiu sent him flying and spitting blood, the two had only exchanged a dozen moves. It was a completely one-sided outcome. In fact, Chu Xiu didn't take Lin Kaiyun seriously at all.
There were very few martial artists of the same level that Chu Xiu took seriously. After stepping into the physical invulnerability realm, Chu Xiu had fought many Three Flower Realm martial artists. Only such existences could become Chu Xiu's opponents.
Although Lin Kaiyun wasn't weak, he had obviously picked the wrong opponent.
After sending Lin Kaiyun flying and spitting blood, Chu Xiu didn't continue to attack.
He just wanted to teach his opponent a lesson. He had no intention of killing him.
Chu Xiu had openly killed an outstanding martial artist of the Swordking City's younger generation in the Inspector Hall. Only a fool would do such a thing.
After Lin Kaiyun was sent flying by Chu Xiu, the two Swordking City disciples on the side immediately went over to support him. They glared at Chu Xiu.
The two of them wanted to make a move just now, but the battle between Chu Xiu and Lin Kaiyun was no longer something they could interfere with. If they acted rashly, they might get injured accidentally.
Moreover, just as they were about to make a move, Tang Ya and Yan Bugui stared at them. They were sure that if they moved, Tang Ya and Yan Bugui would also make a move.
One of the martial artists pointed at Chu Xiu and shouted, "Chu Xiu! You dare to be so ruthless to the people of my Swordking City? What are you trying to do? "one of the cultivators shouted as he pointed at Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu said coldly, "It's not what I'm trying to do. Lin Kaiyun was the one who went crazy first. It's understandable that you're sad and angry that someone from Swordking City died, but this is the Guanzhong Torture Room. It's not a place where you can vent your anger. "
The two Swordking City martial artists snorted coldly and didn't say anything else. After all, Lin Kaiyun was the one who attacked first.
Moreover, Lin Kaiyun's current state was not quite right.
Although Chu Xiu's Great Vajra Wheel Seal had caused him to vomit blood, it could not be considered a serious injury. However, at this moment, Lin Kaiyun's eyes were dull, and he did not even wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
It wasn't that he was heavily injured, but he couldn't believe that he had been defeated so miserably by Chu Xiu.
Lin Kaiyun had always been a proud and unyielding person. In the entire Swordking City, only Fang Qi Shao stood above him. From the day he started cultivating, he had made Fang Qi Shao his target.
Unfortunately, when he fought with Chu Xiu today, he was completely beaten black and blue.
Chu Xiu was born in the wilderness. Whether it was his background or his reputation, he was inferior to him. But now, he was defeated by such a person.
He couldn't even defeat Chu Xiu. How could he compete with Fang Qi Shao? What qualifications did he have to compete with Fang Qi Shao?
For Lin Kaiyun, who was overly angry, this kind of blow was even more serious than the injuries on his body.
The two Swordking City cultivators looked at Lin Kaiyun helplessly. They couldn't do anything about Lin Kaiyun's situation.
But now that the Ghost King Sect's people were dead, they had to take back some things.
One of them said coldly to Chu Xiu, "Swordking City and the Ghost King Sect's corpses and their belongings are mine."
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Your Swordking City cultivators' corpses naturally belong to you, but I killed the Ghost King Sect's people and they died in my Guanzhong torture room. Why should I give them to you?"
The Swordking City cultivator snorted coldly, "We chased them for thousands of miles and let them escape to Guanzhong. Therefore, the Ghost King Sect's corpses and their belongings must belong to Swordking City!"
At this time, a cold voice was heard, "Who said it belongs to Swordking City? If your Swordking City wants the corpses of the Ghost King Sect's disciples and their belongings, send your experts to my Guanzhong Punishment Hall to demand them! "
Wei Jiuduan led his people into the hall and looked at the Swordking City cultivator. His imposing manner was very domineering, but it was completely different from the last time.
When Gu Jiangliu and the others came for the first time, Wei Jiuduan didn't want to cause trouble. He didn't have any interest in this matter, so he endured no matter how arrogant Gu Jiangliu and the others were.
But now, Gu Jiangliu and the others were dead. Most importantly, the Ghost King Sect's people were also dead. These devil path survivors still had some good things in their hands. Wei Jiuduan was a greedy person, so how could he tolerate others snatching things from him? Not even Swordking City's people!
Therefore, the Swordking City cultivators couldn't take away the Ghost King Sect's corpses and their belongings.
If Wei Jiuduan could use those things, he would naturally keep them for himself. Even if he couldn't use them, he could report them to the headquarters and get a reward.
Seeing Wei Jiuduan, the Guanxi Penal Officer, personally come forward, the two Swordking City cultivators looked at each other and could only helplessly leave with Lin Kaiyun.
This time, Swordking City had suffered a great loss.
They lost so many people, but in the end, the Guanzhong torture room people took away their belongings. What kind of situation was this?
However, the two of them could be considered lucky. If they hadn't followed Lin Kaiyun, they would have become corpses by now.
Seeing that the Swordking City cultivators had no choice but to leave, Wei Jiuduan waved his hand and ordered people to bring back the Ghost King Sect's corpses. He looked at Chu Xiu and nodded, "You did a good job. When you report to the higher-ups, I'll remember your contribution."
Chu Xiu quickly cupped his hands and thanked Wei Jiuduan, "Thank you, Sir!"
Although Chu Xiu thanked Wei Jiuduan verbally, he didn't really care about the so-called contribution.
The Guanzhong torture room's rewards were notoriously pitiful. Even if Wei Jiuduan gave him all the credit, Chu Xiu wouldn't be interested in the rewards.
The only use of the credit was to let Chu Xiu add another line to the Guanzhong torture room's merit book, so that he could be promoted in the future.
At this time, Wei Jiuduan glanced at Yang Ling and said to Chu Xiu, "Chu Xiu, I have something to tell you."
After saying that, Wei Jiuduan called Chu Xiu to a study room. After closing the door, Wei Jiuduan looked at Chu Xiu and asked, "Tell me, how did Wei Hanshan die?"
Chu Xiu said in astonishment, "Of course they were killed by the Ghost King Sect. Wei Hanshan wanted to snatch the credit, so he didn't wait for me to arrive before attacking with the Swordking City's people. In the end, he was also killed by the Ghost King Sect's people. When we arrived, Wei Hanshan and the Swordking City's people were already dead.
Wei Jiuduan nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He was just habitually suspicious, so he wanted to trick Chu Xiu.
He might have some doubts about Chu Xiu's words, but Yang Ling was his adopted son. Since Yang Ling saw it with his own eyes, there was naturally no doubt about it.
If there was anything wrong, it would be that Wei Hanshan was a little too anxious. He actually followed Swordking City to deal with the Ghost King Sect alone.
Wei Jiuduan knew about the enmity between Chu Xiu and Wei Hanshan. In the end, Wei Hanshan's death was so coincidental, so it was inevitable that Wei Jiuduan would be suspicious.
But now that Chu Xiu didn't reveal any flaws, Wei Jiuduan also didn't dwell on this issue too much.
He coughed and said, "You should know about the situation in the Guanxi region. Now that Wei Hanshan is dead, the Shang Prefecture should be replaced by someone else. Logically speaking, this person should be you, Chu Xiu. After all, you have made a great contribution this time."
At this point, Wei Jiuduan suddenly changed his tone and said, "However, the enmity between you and Wei Hanshan is something that everyone in the Guanxi region knows about. Now that Wei Hanshan has just died, you have already occupied his territory. This is not a good thing to say, and it will also cause people to suspect that Wei Hanshan's death is related to you. So, the Shang Prefecture cannot be given to you."
Chu Xiu sneered in his heart. It seemed that Yang Ling's words had an effect, or rather, it was the bribe he gave Yang Ling to bribe Wei Jiuduan with had an effect. As expected, this old thing had never been at ease with him. Taking advantage of the situation, he wanted to take the Shang Prefecture away.
An unconvinced expression appeared on Chu Xiu's face as he said, "Justice is in the hearts of the people. By the time I arrived, Wei Hanshan had already been killed. What does it have to do with me? Lord Wei, this subordinate refuses to accept this! "
Seeing that Chu Xiu actually dared to refute him, Wei Jiuduan could not help but snort coldly and said, "Chu Xiu, don't be ungrateful. I am doing this for your own good. The Guanzhong Torture Room is not the Blue Dragon Society that you used to stay in. You should know that gossip is a fearful thing!
Although you've contributed a lot to this matter, it's not just you alone. Yang Ling has been running errands for the people of Swordking City for a long time. He's just an ordinary constable, not even a Patrol Inspector.
So, you should give this opportunity to him and let him be the inspector of the Shang Prefecture. "
At this point, Wei Jiuduan also felt that he had indeed gone a bit too far. After all, Chu Xiu gave him a lot of filial piety every month. Moreover, the people of the Ghost King Sect were all killed by Chu Xiu.
Therefore, he coughed and his expression became a little more amiable as he said, "Chu Xiu, don't think that I am biased towards Yang Ling because he is my adopted son. In fact, I am considering the overall situation. Otherwise, how could Yang Ling be just an ordinary constable after following me for more than ten years?
You have just joined the Guanzhong Torture Room, and your time is still too short. If I let you manage two prefectures now, it will inevitably cause jealousy. Taking a step back is also for your own good.
However, you don't have to worry. I'll remember all your contributions. Don't worry, if there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely help you get promoted and make you the Patrol with the greatest authority in the Guanxi area. After all, the other Patrol Inspectors are already old, but you, Chu Xiu, are still young, so don't worry. "
Hearing Wei Jiuduan's dignified words, Chu Xiu put on a hundred and twenty percent of his acting skills and put on an expression of unwillingness but submission. He reluctantly cupped his hands and said, "Yes, this subordinate obeys."
