The aftermath did not disturb Chu Xiu. At this time, he was still cultivating in seclusion in the Guanxi Land.
What this seclusion brought to Chu Xiu was not the improvement of his strength. The most important thing was the enlightenment.
Some of the fighting experience with Zong Xuan and Zhang Chengzhen, as well as the Divine Finger of Heaven and Earth Annihilation, were easy to digest. In fact, the most difficult thing to digest was the Taoist Connotation.
The Taoist Connotation contained the purest Way of Heaven and Earth. It condensed illusory things into entities. It had to be said that the strength of the Three Pristines Temple in ancient times was really strong. It was even strong enough to make people tremble.
It could be seen from the attitude of the Three Pristines Temple. They casually threw out nine Taoist Connotations, as if the Taoist Connotation was at their fingertips.
Chu Xiu had been cultivating in seclusion for nearly a month. He had comprehended the Taoist Connotation for more than 20 days, but he still did not gain anything.
Moreover, Chu Xiu thought that his comprehension was already very good. In the end, he still could not understand the Taoist Connotation. Could it be that the attribute of the Taoist Connotation was incompatible with his?
After thinking about it carefully, it was really possible. Taoism emphasized purity and inaction. If the requirement to understand the Taoist Connotation was that Chu Xiu had to maintain such a state of mind, he would probably not be able to understand the Taoist Connotation in his life.
At this moment, in the secret room of Chu Xiu's seclusion, the black fog of Devil Qi filled the air. The figure of Mei Qinglian walked out of it.
Chu Xiu knew that Mei Qinglian did not have the habit of knocking on the door in advance. Therefore, this time, he wore clothes in seclusion.
Mei Qinglian's beautiful eyes were full of emotions. She stared at Chu Xiu without blinking. Her gaze made Chu Xiu feel a little scared.
"I say, Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that?"
Mei Qinglian chuckled and said, "Of course I'm looking at a genius that only appears in the history of Jianghu in 10,000 years."
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Zhang Chengzhen is a genius that only appears once in a thousand years. I'm too embarrassed to say something like ten thousand years."
Mei Qinglian extended her jade-like finger and poked Chu Xiu a few times. "You don't have to be humble. Your 'strangeness' is different from Zhang Chengzhen's strangeness. If outsiders were to find out that the first and third on the Longhu Leaderboard are the same person, the entire pugilistic world would be in an uproar. It can even be said that you played the entire Jianghu by yourself. Tsk tsk, if you're not a genius, then who is? "
Chu Xiu was stunned. "Lin Ye is ranked third on the Longhu Leaderboard?"
Chu Xiu was not surprised that he was able to obtain the first place on the Longhu List. After all, he had defeated Zong Xuan in public.
However, he did not expect Lin Ye to be ranked third on the Longhu Leaderboard.
After all, when he used the identity of Lin Ye, he mostly used the Seven Demons Saber to kill people. Xu Xing was severely injured by the Seven Demons Saber, and Zhen Yangzi was also killed by the Seven Demons Saber.
In addition, he was from the Diabolism, so it was inevitable that Wind Sweeping Tower would suppress him in the rankings. They thought that he had used external objects to achieve his current strength, so they lowered his ranking.
However, Chu Xiu did not expect Wind Sweeping Tower to be so fair this time.
Mei Qinglian said, "Actually, Wind Sweeping Tower is quite fair. They are not a righteous sect, but they can't openly stand on the side of the Diabolism.
This time, maybe Zhang Chengzhen caused too much of a commotion, or maybe the righteous sects have realized that the rise of the Diabolism is unstoppable, so they did not pressure Wind Sweeping Tower to tamper with the leaderboard.
This is a good thing. The more famous you are in the Diabolism, the more convenient it is for you to do things in the Diabolism. "
Just as Chu Xiu was about to ask Mei Qinglian what she meant by convenient, Mei Qinglian's expression suddenly turned solemn. "You killed An Liunian?"
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows. "Is it that obvious? Did Mr. Lu tell you? "
Mei Qinglian lightly snorted and said, "I already guessed it before that brat Lu Jin told me.
An Liunian is not an idiot. He is considered a veteran in the pugilistic world. Even if he had entered the Xiaofan Realm, he would not have killed himself so carelessly. Furthermore, he would have died so silently.
Moreover, An Liunian has been keeping a low profile all these years, basically staying in seclusion in the Guanzhong torture room. Apart from you, I can't think of anyone else who would have a reason to kill him. "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "We should have gotten rid of such an obstacle long ago. Saintess, you have been scheming in the Guanzhong torture room for so long, but aren't you a little too slow? If I hadn't made a move, it would not have been so easy for us to occupy the Guanzhong torture room with An Liunian around."
Mei Qinglian frowned and snorted coldly. "You've become so arrogant after becoming number one on the Longhu Leaderboard, and you still think that I'm too slow?
The Diabolism has always been keeping a low profile, let alone my Hidden Devil Lineage. If I move too fast, the righteous sects will notice some clues, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not interfere.
Now, both the Bright Devil Lineage and my Hidden Devil Lineage have decided to make some noise. Even if you don't make a move, I will have to consider this matter. "
Chu Xiu laughed. If he remembered correctly, when he had suggested getting rid of An Liunian, Mei Qinglian had been wary of Guan Siyu.
However, Chu Xiu did not expose this prideful woman. His expression turned serious as he said, "Saintess, since An Liunian is already dead, it is only a matter of time before my Diabolism takes control of the Guanzhong torture room. Therefore, I would like to ask, if we really occupy the Guanzhong torture room one day, whose Guanzhong torture room will belong to? Yours? Mine? Or the entire Hidden Devil Lineage? "
This was a very sensitive matter, but Chu Xiu had never mentioned it before.
Mei Qinglian was Mei Qinglian, he was him, and the Hidden Devil Lineage was the entire Hidden Devil Lineage.
Both parties were related to each other, but they were also independent. The distribution of power after the matter was a very important matter.
In the past, Chu Xiu was not strong enough, so he had no right to say these things.
However, now that Chu Xiu was ranked first on the Longhu Leaderboard, Chu Xiu and Lin Ye's identities combined, they could even rival some famous martial arts masters in the pugilistic world. Even without any background, Chu Xiu was not afraid of anyone. Therefore, he had the right to say this to Mei Qinglian face to face.
Mei Qinglian took a deep look at Chu Xiu and said, "You are quite direct, but this is also good. If we make things clear in advance, then we will not be like those hypocritical righteous sects. They are brothers on the surface, but have endless internal strife.
You don't have to worry about the Hidden Devil Lineage, they will not want what you have fought for yourself.
The Hidden Devil Lineage is not a sect. To be precise, it is just an alliance. Everyone has their own forces, and they are united for the same goal.
Therefore, although you can't get various resources and preferential treatment like those sects, you don't have to worry about any unfair or dirty things.
Right now, the Hidden Devil Lineage is only overseen by Senior Wei Shuya and a few other very senior demonic seniors. Unless there is a matter like the previous battle on Mount Fuyu that concerns the honor of the entire demonic path, the Hidden Devil Lineage will not easily gather. "
After saying this, Mei Qinglian looked straight at Chu Xiu. A strange rhythm was emitted silently, provoking Chu Xiu's nerves.
Mei Qinglian spoke slowly, but her voice was like a whisper, "As for you and me, I am not sure. Can I trust you now?"
How powerful was Chu Xiu's spiritual power? It had even reached a point where it was stronger than most martial arts grandmasters.
When the Inner Demon Rotation Technique was used, Chu Xiu's spiritual power was like a whirlpool, completely dispersing the rhythm.
Raising his eyebrows, Chu Xiu said indifferently, "The Yin Demon Sect's Beauty Technique is indeed extraordinary, but Saintess, you don't have to do this in front of me, do you? Are you afraid that I won't tell the truth? "
Mei Qinglian said with a solemn expression, "I am not joking, I am serious. Chu Xiu, I can't see through you anymore.
Actually, what I want is very simple. It is nothing more than the Yin Demon Sect's reputation and inheritance.
Previously, you laughed at me for not making any progress after hiding in the Guanzhong Torture Room for so long. I admit that this has nothing to do with the situation of the demonic path. It is just that I am not good at such things, so I have been a bit indecisive on some decisions and missed many good opportunities.
When the Yin Demon Sect was still around, I was the Saintess. There was a sect master above me, and a large number of disciples below me. I did not need to worry about these things, nor did I need to worry about them.
Now, I am the only one left in the Yin Demon Sect. I do not dream of rebuilding the Yin Demon Sect with my own strength, but I want to leave behind an inheritance for the future of the Yin Demon Sect.
That kid Lu Jin helped you so selflessly in order to form a good relationship with you, so that you can join forces with the Phaseless Demon Sect in the future.
I can help you now, and even help you take the entire Guanzhong Torture Room in your hands. Can you help me rebuild the Yin Demon Sect in the Hidden Demon Sect? It does not need to be too powerful, just a reputation and an inheritance. "
Mei Qinglian stared at Chu Xiu. Her goal had always been very simple, but she did not know Chu Xiu's thoughts. This was also the reason why Mei Qinglian could not completely trust Chu Xiu.
Mei Qinglian did have the strength, but she had been hiding beside Guan Siyu for so many years, yet she did not manage to build much power. She did not even manage An Liunian. This was enough to prove that Mei Qinglian was not good at things like tactics. It was extremely difficult to rebuild a sect.
A person and a sect with an inheritance were two different concepts. Mei Qinglian could live well by herself, but she did not have the ability to rebuild and manage a sect, nor did she have the ability to deal with all aspects.
Supporting a person with ability was a very good choice. Mei Qinglian did not need to control a sect, she only needed to control a person.
Chu Xiu was once such a candidate. However, as Chu Xiu became stronger and stronger, and even his power in the Guanzhong Torture Room caught up, the current Chu Xiu was completely qualified to be on equal footing with Mei Qinglian. Therefore, Mei Qinglian no longer thought of controlling Chu Xiu. She only wanted to cooperate.
At this time, it was Mei Qinglian's turn to be more cautious. This was because she was not sure whether it was a blessing or a curse to cooperate with a person like Chu Xiu, whose thoughts were so deep that no one could guess his bottom line.
