The conditions given by Chu Xiu made Yang Ling unable to refuse, not because of the position of the inspector, but because of the fact that one would die and the other would live.
If the sword stabs him, he will live. If he refuses, he will die.
The best choice is between life and death, so Yang Ling just made a choice that most people would make.
After stabbing the sword, Chu Xiu took away his sword and handed it to the Ghost Hand King. He smiled and said: "I will keep your sword first, and tell the outside world that it will be damaged during the battle.
Also, if you become an inspector in the future, it would be too embarrassing to use a low-grade, fourth-grade treasure weapon. Instead of getting a fifth-grade treasure weapon, you should also get a high-grade or even top-grade fourth-grade treasure weapon.
That’s it.”
Yang Ling immediately laughed bitterly again when he heard this. He couldn't remember how many times he had to smile helplessly tonight.
This sword is evidence. It is lost now, but if he dares to resist Chu Xiu, then the sword will change from being lost to real evidence.
Chu Xiu smiled at Yang Ling and said: "Brother Yang, there is no need to look so gloomy. This is also an opportunity. If it hadn't been for this, you would have had to wait until Wei Jiuduan retired if you wanted to become an inspector.
After this incident, you first build momentum with Wei Jiuduan, and I will give you a batch of property to please and bribe Wei Jiuduan. Wei Jiuduan will definitely ask me if I am interested in this position.
If I fight for this position, you probably won't have a chance, but I have to fight because it will arouse suspicion.
Anyway, I naturally have the means to make Wei Jiuduan give Shangzhou Mansion to you, and then you will be ready to take over."
Yang Ling nodded, saluted Chu Xiu directly and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Chu. From now on, my subordinates will only obey you, Lord Chu!"
Yang Ling is also a smart man, which can be seen from the fact that he has served Wei Jiuduan for so many years without being kicked away by Wei Jiuduan.
At the moment, he has the leverage in Chu Xiu's hands. Even if he really becomes an inspector in the future, this position will only be temporarily taken care of by Chu Xiu. Therefore, he is also very open-minded and will always place his position above Chu Xiu's.
Just take a break and that's it.
On the surface, he is a colleague, but secretly, he can only be a subordinate.
Chu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Okay, take all the corpses back to me, and then inform the Xingtang branch that the warriors in Sword King City were ambushed by the Ghost King Sect and were killed. However, we came to the rescue a step too late, but
It just so happens that the Ghost King Sect is intercepted here and destroyed."
Yang Ling nodded aside and left it to him to report the matter to the Xingtang branch. Everyone in Sword King City was dead at the moment. Apart from people like Chu Xiu, he was the only witness.
Everyone took action to transport all the corpses back and place them in the Jianzhou Prefecture Inspector Hall. Later, people from the Guanxi Branch would come to check and take over the corpses.
After all, one of the dead people was from Sword King City, and the other was from Ghost King Sect. Someone from above must be sent to investigate and confirm the news.
However, after Chu Xiu had just arranged the corpses, Lin Kaiyun broke in with two disciples from Sword King City and looked at the corpses of Sword King City and others with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Brother!"
Lin Kaiyun looked at Gu Jiangliu's body and roared in disbelief. The other two disciples from Sword King City also had red eyes and expressions of grief on their faces.
Gu Jiangliu and Lin Kaiyun are not actually the same master, but they are both disciples of the Zhanjian Hall. Gu Jiangliu has taken great care of Lin Kaiyun since he was a child. When he was a child, Lin Kaiyun had not yet revealed his talent, and he was very popular among a group of disciples.
He is inconspicuous and is often bullied because of his extreme and solitary personality. It is Gu Jiangliu who stands up for him.
Later, when Gu Jiangliu became the swordsmanship instructor of Zhanjian Hall, he also gave him a small tutorial and helped him hone his sword skills step by step.
This time, the people who are chasing the Ghost King Sect are just some of the warriors from the Zhanjian Hall. Lin Kaiyun, as a young hero of the Sword King City, it is okay not to come. It is enough for him to just stay in seclusion within the sect.
But it was because the person leading the team this time was Gu Jiangliu that Lin Kaiyun came.
Unexpectedly, along the way, I was fine, but my senior brother died unexpectedly.
Lin Kaiyun suddenly turned around, looked at Chu Xiu with red eyes and shouted: "What on earth is going on!? The people of the Ghost King Sect have become losers, how could they die, senior brother?"
Chu Xiu coughed and said calmly: "The bereaved dog is also a vicious dog. It also has sharp teeth and can bite people to death.
Mr. Gu was too anxious. After learning the whereabouts of the people from the Ghost King Sect, he took action directly without waiting for me or you to come. As a result, he was ambushed by the remnants of the Ghost King Sect and was killed.
By the time I led my people there, the people in Sword King City and one of my inspectors from the Guanzhong Punishment Hall had all been massacred by the remnants of the Ghost King Sect.
Fortunately, the remnants of the Ghost King Sect were also consumed a lot, and some were killed and several seriously injured by Mr. Gu and others. I just happened to arrive with my men and wiped them all out, which was regarded as a revenge for Mr. Gu.
."
What Chu Xiu said was reasonable and well-founded. Just looking at the traces on the corpse and the traces of the fight at the scene, no one could find anything wrong with it.
But the two warriors from Sword King City felt something was wrong.
Gui Ming of the Ghost King Sect has been seriously injured. No matter how much the other members of the Ghost King Sect ambush, they should not be able to kill Gu Jiangliu.
But before they could think about it, Lin Kaiyun pointed at Chu Xiu and shouted: "Then why didn't you show up earlier? What's the use of showing up when everyone is dead? The death of senior brother was partly caused by your Guanzhong Punishment Hall gang.
Caused by waste!”
At this time, Lin Kaiyun's heart was filled with grief and anger. Not to mention the Chu Xiu he had always disliked, even if Wei Jiuduan came, he could become the target of his venting.
It's just that Chu Xiu didn't have the habit of standing up and being scolded without saying anything back. He immediately darkened his face and said coldly: "I am an idiot and fell into the enemy's trap. Why should I be imprisoned in the torture hall?
If you can't kill someone yourself and get killed instead, you have to rely on others. This doesn't make sense anywhere.
Lin Kaiyun, whether you are sad or angry when your senior brother dies, go somewhere else to play, this is the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, not a place for you to act wild!"
As soon as he heard this, Lin Kaiyun exploded immediately. The long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and a melodious blue flashed in the entire hall.
The long sword in his hand is called "Liu Yun". It is light and shining, and can feel the power of the flow of wind and cloud. It is the best among the five-level weapons, and was personally crafted by the sword master of the Shenbing Pavilion.
At this time, the long sword was unsheathed, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by the sword. Almost in the blink of an eye, Lin Kaiyun's sword had appeared in front of Chu Xiu's eyes!
Simply talking about its speed, this sword is even three points stronger than Chu Xiu's Qinglong in his sleeve!
Under the quick sword, Chu Xiu formed the Dugu Seal, and the Gang Qi exploded all over his body, making him as solid as gold and as immovable as a mountain!
The long sword collided with Gang Qi, as if it hit a big mountain. During the explosion of Gang Qi, Chu Xiu did not move, but Lin Kaiyun couldn't help but take a step back, which made his angry red eyes reveal
A look of horror.
He knew the speed and power of his sword, like the wind and clouds, and only a handful of warriors at the same level could react to it. However, now Chu Xiu blocked his sword head-on. In Chu Xiu's strange move
In front of Yinfa, he seemed to be facing a huge mountain, unable to resist or surpass!
The Dugu Seal dispersed, Chu Xiu unsheathed the red hidden sword in his hand, and the Blood Refining Divine Gang shone in the sky, casting a cruel crimson color across the entire lobby!
When the Gang Qi slashed down, the force of the sword was as invisible as drizzle, but it was densely packed, blocking all the places where Lin Kaiyun could dodge!
The warriors in Sword King City are famous for their sword skills, such as Gu Jiangliu's Yanhe Sword and Lin Kaiyun's Fengxing Yunjian, which use the power of wind and cloud to explode at unparalleled speed.
But in terms of strength and energy, although the warriors of Sword King City are not weak, they are definitely not too strong. Chu Xiu's Blood Refining Divine Astral is comparable to the White Tiger Evil Divine Astral of Baihu Hall and Chunyang of Chunyang Dao Sect.
There is a level of Gangqi.
Under the Blood Refining Divine Gang, Lin Kaiyun could not break Chu Xiu's sword power even though the sword power in his hand was smooth and smooth, no matter how fast he was!
If Lin Kaiyun attacked Chu Xiu before, he was just venting his grief and anger, but now, he wants to defeat Chu Xiu wholeheartedly.
He is an outstanding disciple of the younger generation in Sword King City, while Chu Xiu is an ordinary warrior who came from a rough background and only stepped onto the Dragon and Tiger Ranking by chance.
He has been suppressed by Fang Qishao all his life. When people mention Sword King City, they only know Fang Qishao but not Lin Kaiyun.
It was okay to lose to Fang Qishao for so many years, but he could not accept that he would lose to a person with a reckless background like Chu Xiu!
Lin Kaiyun shouted low, and the sword energy around him exploded. The extremely sharp sword energy merged into the wind. Even he himself seemed to be transformed into the wind. Countless dense sword edges tore through Chu Xiu's sword force, with a hurricane-like force.
He roared and slashed towards Chu Xiu.
Chu Xiu squinted his eyes, and wisps of black mist wrapped around his hand. He slashed with the knife, and there seemed to be the sound of ghosts crying and howling. Abi hell descended, and the whole hall was filled with death and hatred!
There was a loud bang, the strong wind extinguished, and the Liuyun Sword in Lin Kaiyun's hand was cut away and fell to the ground.
For the warriors in Sword King City, if the sword is with you, but if the sword leaves your hand, you have already lost half the battle!
Chu Xiu took one step forward and struck Lin Kaiyun with a palm. He unleashed his Heavenly and Earth-Destroying Purple Sun Hand, which made Lin Kaiyun take a few steps back. The purple sun demonic flames entered his body, as if it was on fire.
Stepping forward again, this time the Buddha's light shone, and the Great Vajra Seal fell. This time, Lin Kaiyun could no longer hold on, and was thrown backward by Chu Xiuhong's mouth spitting blood.
