Chu Xiu just thought about it casually. After being away for such a long time, it was time for Chu Xiu to take care of the Guanzhong Torture Room.
After coming out, Chu Xiu asked someone to find the Ghost Hand King and asked him if anything else had happened in Guanxi during this period.
In fact, some of Chu Xiu's trusted subordinates in Guanxi had already noticed Chu Xiu's frequent disappearances, especially people like the Ghost Hand King, who usually helped Chu Xiu take care of miscellaneous affairs. He vaguely guessed that Chu Xiu's identity should not be that simple and somewhat mysterious.
However, although the Ghost Hand King had guessed something, he did not say a word.
An experienced guy like the Ghost Hand King knew when to say something and when not to.
At the moment, they were all relying on Chu Xiu. As long as Chu Xiu could maintain his current strength and status, they did not care what secrets Chu Xiu had. Why would they ask for trouble?
At this time, facing Chu Xiu's question, the Ghost Hand King shook his head and said, "Guanxi is peaceful. With the strength of the Guanxi Torture Hall, it is not a problem to suppress the entire Guanxi Wulin. Oh, by the way, some time ago, a mysterious man came to Guanxi. I sent someone to pay attention to him, but he has been cultivating in seclusion all the time. He is very mysterious. "
The Ghost Hand King carefully looked at Chu Xiu and said, "That man seems to be an expert in the Martial Dao Realm."
Chu Xiu knew who the Ghost Hand King was talking about. That person should be Liu Hongye.
Master Liu could not go back at all. At this time, he had become Liu Hongye, a swordsman of the Yinmo Clan, which was actually the best ending for him.
In the Battle of Red Maple Valley, Chu Xiu killed so many people. He was the main culprit, and Liu Hongye was the number one accomplice.
If the news spread and the people in Jianghu knew that Liu Hongye was still alive, not only would he go down in history, but he would also be in an extremely dangerous situation. Therefore, he could only seek protection from the Yinmo Clan. Lin Ye's identity was a good choice.
Of course, it was not Chu Xiu's suggestion for Liu Hongye to come to the Guanzhong Torture Room. He could not tell Liu Hongye his identity.
Chu Xiu only asked Liu Hongye to choose a place to cultivate and lay low. After all, it was not long ago, it was not suitable for Liu Hongye to show up.
That was why Liu Hongye chose the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, a neutral place, and coincidentally chose Guanxi. It could only be said that he was indeed fated with Chu Xiu.
He casually waved his hand and said, "I know, but you don't have to worry about this person. Withdraw all the people monitoring him. He is not an enemy."
Judging from Chu Xiu's tone, the Ghost Hand King seemed to know this man.
Although Chu Xiu often brought people back to Guanxi, such as Lu Fengxian, Feng Buping, and the others, they were either friends of Chu Xiu, or they were not that strong. Now, Official Chu even knew a Martial Dao master?
The Ghost Hand King did not ask further. He continued, "There's no movement in Guanxi, but there's some movement in the torture chamber's headquarters."
Chu Xiu raised his brows and said, "What movement?"
The Ghost Hand King said, "I heard that the head of the Punishment Division is in seclusion for a long time. He might not come out for several years. Therefore, all the affairs of the Punishment Division will be handled by the second head, Fang Sha, and the third head, Si Ming.
"Moreover, the Punishment Division is planning to recruit a large number of people. Some of them are outsiders. Of course, priority will be given to the constables in the four branches of the Guanzhong Torture Room.
"There are also some constables in the Guanxi Division who are tempted to join the Punishment Division. Sir, should we suppress them?"
"There's no need for that. We don't have to stop them if they want to seek a future."
Chu Xiu rubbed his chin. He seemed to know what was going on.
Guan Siyu did not want others to know that An Liunian was dead.
In Xiaofan Heaven, nobody had seen An Liunian being killed. Moreover, An Liunian had always kept a low profile. Therefore, to a certain extent, although An Liunian was a Martial Dao master, as long as he did not take the initiative to reveal his identity, he was just a 'nobody' in the Pugilistic World.
Therefore, after Xiaofantian, there was no news from the Pugilistic World that An Liunian, the head of the Guanzhong Disciplinary Hall's Punishment Division, had been killed. Only then did Guan Siyu feel at ease. She released the news that An Liunian was in seclusion, creating the illusion that there were still three Martial Dao masters in the Guanzhong Disciplinary Hall.
Of course, Chu Xiu wasn't going to expose this.
After all, he was now a member of the Guanzhong Torture Room and had to rely on the Guanzhong Torture Room to hide his identity. Perhaps Chu Xiu would do things that harmed others to benefit himself, but Chu Xiu could not be bothered to do things that harmed others without benefiting himself.
"By the way, Sir, there's news from the main hall. They're preparing to redistribute the Punishment Division and the powers of the four branches. They'll need you to make a trip to the main hall soon. I was the one who received the news, but you were still in seclusion at that time, so I did not disturb you. "
Chu Xiu nodded. This was within his expectations.
An Liunian's death might not necessarily be a bad thing for Guan Siyu.
In the past, when An Liunian was still around, he controlled more than half of the Punishment Division's power. Even Guan Siyu could not interfere. However, now that he was dead, Fang Sha could not do anything alone. It was time for a change in the distribution of power in the Guanzhong Torture Room.
After asking the Ghostly Hand King for the time, Chu Xiu headed straight to the Guanzhong Torture Room headquarters.
It had been a long time since Chu Xiu had visited the Guanzhong Torture Room headquarters. This time, all the martial artists who saw Chu Xiu, be they from the main hall, the branches, or the Punishment Division, were extremely respectful to Chu Xiu.
The number one on the Longhu Leaderboard was publicly acknowledged by the entire Pugilistic World as an outstanding talent of the younger generation. In the past, this honor mostly belonged to the disciples of the major sects, especially the Daoist, Demonic, and Buddhist lineages, as well as the Five Major Sword Sects.
In the past few centuries, eighty percent of those who were qualified to be number one on the Longhu Leaderboard were from these few sects. In this generation, it was finally their Guanzhong Torture Room's turn. This was an honor that the Guanzhong Torture Room had never achieved since its establishment. Therefore, it was very normal for Chu Xiu to be respected.
The meeting would only begin the next day. As this matter was of great importance to the Guanzhong Torture Room, Chu Xiu arrived at the Torture Division headquarters a day earlier. The other three Torturers had also arrived earlier.
Among them, the Guannan Torturer, Chuchu Simo, was extremely polite to Chu Xiu. With Chu Xiu's current strength and status, he was indeed no longer in the same realm as them. Even the strongest among them, Xiao Yi, was the same. He was very polite to Chu Xiu.
As for Yin Botong, who had a grudge against Chu Xiu, he did not even dare to say a word of nonsense when he saw Chu Xiu. He could not wait to avoid him.
Fortunately, with the protection of the Guanzhong Torture Room's laws, Chu Xiu could not kill his colleagues. Otherwise, Yin Botong could not guarantee that he would still be alive.
When entering the headquarters, Chu Xiu happened to bump into Fang Sha.
In fact, the grudge between Fang Sha and Chu Xiu was even greater. This was because Chu Xiu had snatched his opportunity to enter Xiaofantian.
Others might be afraid of Chu Xiu, but Fang Sha was a Martial Dao Grandmaster. Even if he had no confidence in defeating Chu Xiu, he would not be afraid of Chu Xiu. However, Fang Sha's current behavior was a little strange.
Facing Chu Xiu, Fang Sha's reaction should be anger. However, at this moment, Fang Sha gave Chu Xiu a fake smile and said, "Number one on the Longhu Leaderboard, Chu Xiu. It's really worth it for you to enter Xiaofantian this time. I didn't expect the Guanzhong Torture Room to produce such an outstanding talent like you. This is really gratifying and worth celebrating."
Chu Xiu frowned slightly. Fang Sha's sarcasm made him feel a little strange. Given Fang Sha's personality, Chu Xiu would not feel so awkward if they exchanged a few blows.
Raising his eyebrows, Chu Xiu said indifferently, "Why? Are you unconvinced, Leader Fang?"
Fang Sha said indifferently, "I wouldn't dare to be unconvinced. After all, you, Chu Xiu, have a backer. However, you will soon find out that your backer is actually unreliable."
With that, Fang Sha turned and left, leaving Chu Xiu puzzled.
Who was Fang Sha talking about? His backer? Guan Siyu?
Just as Chu Xiu was pondering, Mei Qinglian's voice came from behind Chu Xiu. "Since you've come to the Torture Room Headquarters, won't you come to my place for a chat?"
Chu Xiu turned around and said, "Of course, this isn't the place to talk."
Bringing Chu Xiu to her room, Mei Qinglian waved her hand to isolate the sound. Then, she sized up Chu Xiu with a slightly astonished gaze. "I really didn't expect you to complete this matter so beautifully. It simply exceeded my expectations. Did Old Senior Wei give you a reward?"
"Opening the Devil Sky Realm for twelve hours. How's that?"
Mei Qinglian was shocked. "Devil Sky Realm?! It's actually twelve hours. Tsk tsk, Senior Wei really treats you well. That group of conservative old fellows actually agreed? "
Chu Xiu said indifferently, "They didn't agree before. However, Old Senior Wei threatened to take me to the Moon Worshipping Cult. They had no choice but to agree."
Mei Qinglian revealed a smile and said, "Old ginger is spicier. Old Senior Wei's move is not bad."
Looking at Chu Xiu, Mei Qinglian raised her elegant brows and said, "Since Old Senior Wei gave you a reward, I won't mistreat you. You killed that fella An Liunian. You should know why Guan Siyu asked you guys to come. Are you interested in the position of the Head of the Punishment Division?"
Chu Xiu was puzzled. "You want me to fight for the position of the Head of the Punishment Division? What about the Guanxi Region? "
Actually, the position of the Head of the Punishment Division was no longer attractive to Chu Xiu. What he wanted was the entire Guanzhong Torture Room.
Mei Qinglian said casually, "Your subordinates are quite strong. Just leave it to them. Since we are going to take over the Guanzhong Torture Room, we have to obtain such an important place as the Head of the Punishment Division."
Chu Xiu rubbed his chin and said, "Since that's the case, we still have to obtain the most authority. If it's possible, I even want to get rid of Fang Sha."
At this point, Chu Xiu had a feeling that something was wrong. He kept feeling that Fang Sha was a little strange. Because of the Heaven's Son Gazing At Air Spell, Chu Xiu was a little sensitive to certain things that concerned him. Now, he had an indescribable strange feeling.
