Zong Ping thought that he was very lucky, but in fact, he was very unlucky.
Yan Jing City was so big, and there were countless wind agents from Wind Sweeping Tower and some small forces. In the end, he picked a wind agent who was related to Chu Xiu.
The wind agent who was interrogated by Zong Ping was called Lu You. He was not a big figure in Wind Sweeping Tower, but he had some fame in the Northern Yan branch of Wind Sweeping Tower.
But a few years ago, when Lu You was still in Yan Dong, he was the first wind agent from Wind Sweeping Tower to cooperate with Chu Xiu.
It could be said that when Chu Xiu was able to enter the Longhu List, although it was Qi Yuanli who made the decision, it was Lu You who brought the news.
Several years had passed, and Chu Xiu had gone from an itinerant cultivator of the pugilistic world in the past to a prominent figure of the demonic path whose name had shaken the pugilistic world. He could even be said to be the number one figure of the younger generation of the demonic path, possessing astonishing might.
As for Lu You, he was much more normal.
The promotion of Anemophilia in Wind Sweeping Tower was not very fast. Wind Sweeping Tower followed the rules, and the more information you could get, the higher your position would be.
But Northern Yan was naturally flawed, and the power of the martial arts world could not compare with Eastern Qi or even Western Chu, so there were not many big events. Lu You used a few years to go from Anemophilia in Yan Dong to Anemophilia in Yan Jing City, the capital of Northern Yan, and he was one of the people in charge.
A monk from the Great Light Temple came to buy information about Chu Xiu, and it was such a fierce monk. Even an idiot could see that this was definitely not a good thing.
Wind Sweeping Tower had a rule that they could not leak information about their customers, but the monk just now was not a customer, and he even threatened him.
Since this was the case, there was no problem for him to leak information about him.
Most importantly, Lu You's intuition told him that there was definitely big news to be dug out. If he could become a witness to all of this, his status in Wind Sweeping Tower would definitely rise after he obtained the news.
Although Zong Ping had wandered the jianghu and had some experience, he had forgotten one thing: everyone had their own selfish motives. He had been too credulous in trusting Yu Ren, even though Wind Sweeping Pavilion had a good reputation.
During this time, Chu Xiu was only in the Zhenwu Hall for closed-door training. He was interrupted when he was familiarizing himself with the Blood Shadow Technique, so he could make up for it successfully this time.
Someone reported that an old friend had come to visit. This made Chu Xiu feel strange. What old friend did he have in Northern Yan?
After Lu You was invited in, Lu You cupped his hands at Chu Xiu and said with a smile, "I wonder if Official Chu still recognizes me?"
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lu You. He felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't recognize him.
After all, so many years had passed, and Lu You was just a minor character at that time.
Lu You didn't mind. It was normal for Chu Xiu not to remember him, so he directly said, "I am Wind Intermediary Lu You of the Northern Yan branch of Wind Sweeping Pavilion. Official Chu bought a lot of information from me when he was still in the Heavenly Sin branch of the Blue Dragon Society."
Hearing Lu You say this, Chu Xiu suddenly remembered and said, "Oh, so it's you. Brother Lu's information has helped me a lot in the past."
Lu You hurriedly said, "I don't dare to call myself Official Chu brother. This time, I came to give you a piece of news, Official Chu."
Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? What news? "
Lu You said in a deep voice, "Someone wants to kill you, Official Chu!"
Chu Xiu said with a faint smile, "There are at least eight thousand people in the pugilistic world who want to kill me. Who knows, someone might be gnashing their teeth and wanting to cut me into pieces right now. You don't need to tell me, I know."
Lu You touched his head and smiled awkwardly. "I didn't make it clear. The person who wants to kill you, Official Chu, is someone from the Great Light Temple. Furthermore, he has already arrived at Yanjing City and forcefully asked me for information on you, Official Chu.
You know my strength. I can't resist at all, so I can only obey.
However, I only gave him information about you, Official Chu. There aren't any deep secrets. "
Chu Xiu frowned and said, "The Great Light Temple wants to kill me? That shouldn't be. "
If the Great Light Temple wanted to make a move, they would have done it when Xu Yan came back then. Why would they wait until now?
Lu You explained, "It's Zong Ping, a disciple of the Great Light Temple's Vajra Department. He's a disciple of the Feng family. His father died in the hands of Official Chu some time ago, and the Feng family was also destroyed by you, Official Chu."
Wind Sweeping Tower's information was very detailed. Unless you were really unknown, as long as you had the slightest bit of fame in the pugilistic world, Wind Sweeping Tower would record you.
On the way here, Lu You had successfully obtained detailed information on Zong Ping.
Chu Xiu touched his chin. So that was the case. However, he did not mind.
Among the Great Light Temple's Zong generation of martial artists, other than Zong Xuan, no one else had stepped into the realm of martial arts grandmasters.
To the current Chu Xiu, those below the martial arts grandmaster level were like ants. He did not need to care about them.
Over the years, he had destroyed many clans and sects. The number of people who wanted to kill him could form an entire sect. However, Lu You was just a junior martial artist. If not for the fact that he was from the Great Light Temple, Lu You would not have come to report to him to claim credit.
However, at that moment, Chu Xiu suddenly thought of something. A cold gleam flashed in his eyes, which gave Lu You a fright.
Chu Xiu suddenly asked, "This Zong Ping wants to kill me. What do you think he'll do? Or has his mind been eroded by hatred, and he's prepared to kill me just like that? "
Lu You hesitated for a moment. He did not know why Chu Xiu asked that.
However, he thought about it and said, "Although this Zong Ping hates Official Chu to the core, he doesn't seem crazy. He's very clear-headed when he does things, and he won't be impulsive or reckless.
If he wants to kill you, there's only one simple way, and that's to poison you.
"Back then, you used the Gut Rupturing Gu to cause Fang Jinwu's strength to plummet. In the end, you were able to kill him.
"Right now, Zong Ping might be thinking of the same thing. Using something like poison to weaken Official Chu's strength to the lowest level might work."
Not everyone knew the details of how Chu Xiu killed Fang Jinwu. Only those who had truly studied Chu Xiu knew about it.
Everyone could only see that Chu Xiu had used a despicable method to kill Fang Jinwu with poison. However, in reality, if this method was so useful, the strongest sect in the pugilistic world would be the Five Venoms Order.
However, in reality, using poison was extremely difficult.
Ordinary martial arts grandmasters were battle-hardened existences. They were very sensitive to any abnormal factors, and their perception was already very shocking.
Therefore, even if the poison was really colorless and tasteless, and there was no way to detect it, for those above the martial arts grandmaster level, they could still sense the danger and thus avoid the disaster.
The last time Chu Xiu succeeded in using the Gu, it was mainly because Chu Xiu had controlled Fang Jinwu's disciple, Chen Jinting, and used him to use the Gu, which lowered Fang Jinwu's vigilance to the lowest.
Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Did Zong Ping ask you to provide him with real-time news about me?"
Lu You hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Chu Xiu said, "Then tell him later that I'll be having dinner with Yuan Tianfang at the Flourishing Moon Restaurant in Yanjing City in three days."
Lu You looked at Chu Xiu in surprise. 'What is he trying to do?'
He had already revealed the news to Chu Xiu about someone like Zong Ping. He didn't even need to do anything himself. He could easily crush the other party by sending a few of his elites.
'As a result, Chu Xiu seems to be fishing just to catch Zong Ping. Is it interesting?'
Lu You was very puzzled, but after meeting Chu Xiu's eyes, he immediately nodded and said, "No problem, Official Chu, I will do it immediately."
Chu Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, then I will trouble you with this matter. I have a good relationship with Qi Yuanli of your Wind Sweeping Tower. I will mention you in front of him. "Also, what do you want by giving me such news?"
In the early years, Chu Xiu did have some cooperation with Lu You, but it was limited to cooperation. The friendship between the two sides was not too deep.
Everyone in the world came for benefits. Now that the other party was in a hurry to not send the news to him, even an idiot knew that Lu You must have a plan.
Lu You laughed and said, "Official Chu, don't be offended. What I want is actually very simple. I just want to stay by your side during this period of time. I want to see how you take back the Zhenwu Hall. This is great news."
Chu Xiu looked at Lu You with a faint smile and said, "Your Wind Sweeping Tower must know about Yuan Tianfang's matter. He is an expert in the True Fire Spiritual Refinement Realm. Why are you so confident in me?"
Lu You nodded and said, "If it was someone else, of course I wouldn't have confidence. However, if it is you, Official Chu, I can guarantee that the Zhenwu Hall will definitely return to your hands in the end."
"Why?"
"Because you are Chu Xiu."
A smile appeared on Chu Xiu's face. The people of Wind Sweeping Tower were indeed eloquent. Their flattery was naturally not explicit. It was quite fresh and refined.
After Lu You left, he immediately sent a message to Zong Ping.
After receiving the news, Zong Ping immediately began to disguise himself. With Lu You's "active" help, he changed into a fake identity and sneaked into the Flourishing Moon Pavilion in advance.
As for Chu Xiu, he asked Mei Qinglian to send a message to invite Yuan Tianfang to the Flourishing Moon Pavilion for a talk.
Both parties were in the Zhenwu Hall, but Chu Xiu insisted on taking him outside to talk. In Yuan Tianfang's view, Chu Xiu was afraid that he could not hold on and was ready to give in.
However, Yuan Tianfang did not intend to let Chu Xiu go. How could he let go of the hatred of his disciple's murder?
However, Yuan Tianfang still agreed to Chu Xiu. He just wanted to humiliate Chu Xiu on the spot.
In the past, when he wanted to make a move on Chu Xiu, not only did Wei Shuya come forward to stop him, but Donghuang Taiyi also spoke up for him. He was an expert in the True Fire Spiritual Refinement Realm and also a big shot of the Hidden Devil Lineage. He wanted to deal with a junior, but he was still so aggrieved. This had long made Yuan Tianfang furious.
Now, it was time to return the favor!
