Mei Qinglian's attitude made Chu Xiu's heart skip a beat. However, his face remained calm as he asked with a smile, "I am who I am. Who else can I be?"
Mei Qinglian approached Chu Xiu step by step. A rich yet not cloying fragrance wafted towards him. It was only when Mei Qinglian's beautiful face was less than three fingers away from Chu Xiu that she stopped.
However, at this moment, Chu Xiu did not feel the fragrance. Instead, he felt a strong pressure coming towards him. It was the pressure of a Martial Dao Grandmaster!
Mei Qinglian said in a low voice, "I always thought that I had seen through you, but now I realize that you haven't been telling me the truth from the beginning.
Someone from the Yinmo Clan sent me a message saying that there's a rising star of the Devil Dao in Eastern Qi. He uses authentic Devil Arts and claims to be a direct descendant of the Kunlun Devil Cult. He's the successor of Nangong Wuming, the Hall Master of the Devil Heart Hall.
If he's the successor of Nangong Wuming, then who are you? "
Chu Xiu's heart trembled when he heard Mei Qinglian's words. However, he forced himself to maintain a calm expression on his face. In reality, a storm had already been set off in his heart.
Chu Xiu was not afraid that someone would find out that he was the successor of the Kunlun Devil Cult. This was because Chu Xiu knew that the authentic successor of the Devil Heart Hall would only appear in a few years. When that time came, he would find a chance to kill him. Dead men tell no tales, and the fake would become the real thing.
But now, for some unknown reason, Nangong Wuming's legacy had been obtained by someone else in advance. As such, there were now two Nangong Wuming's successors in the Martial World. Even an idiot would know that something was wrong with the situation!
Looking at Mei Qinglian who was right in front of him, Chu Xiu knew that if he gave a wrong answer, the beautiful face in front of him would immediately turn murderous.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "In Eastern Qi, I joined hands with Mister Lu to defeat Prince Anle Jiang Wenyuan. In the great battle of the Righteous and Demonic Paths on Mount Fuyu, I represented the Yinmo Clan to show our might.
Everyone in the Yinmo Clan knows that I, Chu Xiu, am a direct descendant of the Kunlun Devil Cult. I was, and I will still be.
As for that guy, he's just a nobody in the Jianghu. We can't just take whatever he says. "
Chu Xiu didn't answer whether his identity was real or not, but he believed that Mei Qinglian could understand what he meant.
Regardless of whether Chu Xiu's identity was real or not, he had been wearing the identity of a direct descendant of the Kunlun Devil Cult for such a long time. Everyone in the Yinmo Clan thought that he, Chu Xiu, was a rising star of the Demonic Path, and the future hope of the Yinmo Clan.
Mei Qinglian thought so, the Phaseless Demon Sect thought so, and even Wei Shuya, who was an old monster of the Demonic Path, thought so.
If Chu Xiu's identity was exposed at this time, it would be a huge blow to the Yinmo Clan. It would also make the Bright Demon Clan laugh at them for being blind.
Just like Chu Xiu said, since Chu Xiu had worn this identity for such a long time, as long as it was in the past and in the future, there wouldn't be a problem.
Moreover, who was that guy who claimed to be the descendant of the Demon Heart Hall? He was just a nobody in the Jianghu.
But he, Chu Xiu, was a young hero with an outstanding reputation in the Jianghu. He was ranked sixth on the Dragon and Tiger List, and was enough to represent the Demonic Path and compete with the righteous heroes.
The difference in status between the two was already so obvious. Whether they wanted a nobody to be the future hope of the Yinmo Clan, or whether they wanted Chu Xiu, a young hero ranked sixth on the Dragon and Tiger List, to stand on their side, this kind of choice was very easy to make.
At this time, what the truth was was no longer important. What was important was whether it was true or false, which was in line with the interests of Mei Qinglian, or in line with the interests of the entire Yinmo Clan.
After Chu Xiu finished speaking, Mei Qinglian's expression was a little uncertain. After a long time, she took a step back and coldly snorted: "For the time being, only I know about this matter. The news should not have spread to the Phaseless Demon Sect.
You still have some time to clean your ass, otherwise, if things get out of hand, I won't be able to protect you.
Also, remember this, I can tolerate this kind of thing once, but this is also the last time! "
After saying that, the black fog around Mei Qinglian's body flashed, and her figure disappeared from the room.
Chu Xiu stood still, and after a long time, he sat back on the chair and let out a long breath. A layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
This time, Chu Xiu had indeed miscalculated, and it could be considered as giving Chu Xiu a profound lesson.
The butterfly effect sounded simple, but it was the most unpredictable thing.
Although he pretended to be the descendant of the Demon Heart Hall, it was only spread in a small area. The people who knew about it were only Mei Qinglian, Mr. Lu and a few others. He simply could not figure out why the descendant of the Demon Heart Hall, who was supposed to appear in the Jianghu several years later, would appear so early.
Just now, it could be said that Chu Xiu really had a trip to the gates of hell, and this was not fake at all.
Usually, Mei Qinglian's attitude towards Chu Xiu was not bad, and she would occasionally flirt with Chu Xiu. She would also generously agree to Chu Xiu's request, but that was based on the premise that Chu Xiu was on her side.
But in reality? Mei Qinglian was still a sinister and ruthless Holy Maiden of the Yinmo Clan, a martial arts master of the Yinmo Clan. If Mei Qinglian firmly believed that Chu Xiu was lying to her, Chu Xiu was not sure that he could escape from Mei Qinglian's hands. Not to say that he would definitely die, he would at least die nine times out of ten.
But fortunately, Mei Qinglian was still rational, and Chu Xiu had also shown his value during this period of time. To be precise, it should be his value in the Yinmo Clan, so that he could be able to persuade Mei Qinglian to turn the fake into the real. It could be said that he was somewhat lucky.
After sitting in the same place for a long time, Chu Xiu lightly spat out four words, "Tread on thin ice!"
Chu Xiu's identity changed back and forth between the Orthodox Dao, the Devil Dao, and even the Yinmo Clan. It seemed that it was difficult to determine whether he was real or fake, but it was not invulnerable. At this time, what he needed to do was only four words, tread on thin ice!
However, during this period of time, Chu Xiu's life was a little too smooth. He had killed all the people he wanted to kill, and got all the things he wanted. This also led to an uncontrollable arrogant and lazy mood in Chu Xiu.
To put it simply, he, Chu Xiu, had become arrogant.
This was a very terrible mood, unconsciously affecting Chu Xiu, and even he himself did not notice it. If this sudden incident had not completely awakened Chu Xiu, he was afraid that he would still be immersed in this mood. Maybe one day he would not be careful, and it would take his life.
Chu Xiu was a human, not a god. As a human, he had all kinds of emotions, which affected his judgment and way of doing things.
However, Chu Xiu had a rare advantage, which was that he knew his own limits and would examine himself.
If he made a mistake, then he would find a way to make up for it. In the future, he would remember that he could not make the same mistake again.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu could not help but reveal a trace of coldness in his eyes.
Now, what Chu Xiu had to do was to make up for the mistake he had made. In Mei Qinglian's words, Chu Xiu had to prepare to clean up his mess first, so that the matter would not become too big and be discovered by others.
When the successor of the Demon Heart Hall suddenly appeared in Eastern Qi, Chu Xiu only sent someone to report to Guan Siyu, then led his men to Eastern Qi.
Apart from Yin Botong, the other Penal Officers did not have any objections to Chu Xiu going out all the time. Even if Yin Botong had any objections, it was useless. Chu Xiu had already arranged for the entire Guanxi region to be properly governed, so what could he say?
Moreover, this time, Chu Xiu did not take this matter seriously. He directly brought the experts under him, Wang Shuangdong, and the others, who had just joined him, out, leaving only 30% of the people in the Guanxi region to maintain order.
Eastern Qi was too big, so Chu Xiu did not know where the so-called successor of the Demon Heart Hall was.
However, as long as one was in the Jianghu, it was very easy to find a person. There was someone who specialized in this kind of thing, and that was Wind Sweeping Tower.
In the past, when Chu Xiu was being chased by the Morale Manor and the Northern Floating Snow City, these two factions had borrowed the power of Wind Sweeping Tower to investigate his whereabouts. At that time, it had indeed caused a lot of trouble for Chu Xiu, but Chu Xiu did not have any hatred for Wind Sweeping Tower.
Wind Sweeping Tower was just a simple wind organization. If you came to buy information, they would sell it. Simply put, Wind Sweeping Tower was just a tool. Even if Chu Xiu wanted to take revenge, he would only take revenge on the people holding the tool, not the tool itself.
Wind Sweeping Tower had countless branches in the Jianghu. There was a branch in both Northern Yan and West Chu, and its headquarters was in Nanliang City in Eastern Qi.
There were two big cities in Eastern Qi that were the most prosperous. One was naturally the capital, Great Liang City, and the other was the former capital, Nanliang City.
Moving the capital was a very serious matter, but hundreds of years ago, the imperial family of Eastern Qi seemed to have gone crazy. They had invited the Taoist masters from the Zhen Wu Cult, Chunyang Dao Sect, and the Taoist Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain to check the geomancy of the imperial family of Eastern Qi. In the end, they came to the conclusion that the geomancy of Nanliang City was not good, so they hurriedly moved the capital to Great Liang City.
Putting aside whether the experts from the Three Major Taoist Sects could see the geomancy, Eastern Qi had been established in Nanliang City for such a long time, and now they said that the geomancy was not good. Who was the one who checked the geomancy when the capital was first built?
In short, the people of Eastern Qi had thought that the imperial family of Eastern Qi was crazy. But since the capital had been moved, the people of Eastern Qi had gotten used to it.
As for the original capital, Nanliang City, it did not decline. It was still prosperous and could even be compared with Great Liang City.
The headquarters of Wind Sweeping Tower was located in Nanliang City. Every day, countless Jianghu information would be sent to Nanliang City in great detail. Even the vegetarian meal of the Great Guangming Temple today was recorded in the information. Of course, ordinary people would not buy such boring information.
