Chapter 690 Aftermath
In the righteous martial arts world, the old master is a legend, a living legend, but now this legend is defeated by Ye Shaonan, which is enough to stir up waves in the world.
And this is not over. After going to Longhu Mountain to challenge the old master, Ye Shaonan even turned to the southern barbarian land and challenged the abbot of the Subhuti Zen Temple, the god monk Rama, and also defeated it in one battle, forcing the Subhuti Zen Temple to prevent it from stepping out of the southern barbarian land within a year. After two battles, the world was shocked. Ye Shaonan also ranked fifth on the Supreme List and became the first person in the devil's path at the moment.
After the battle in Guanzhong City, Chu Xiu did win, but the retreat of the major factions was so straightforward, which was also the reason for Ye Shaonan.
Moreover, no one came to cause trouble for Chu Xiu in the future, which was also Ye Shaonan's credit.
Chu Xiu's talent is indeed amazing. He made a big fuss this time, but compared with Ye Shaonan, it would be a purely small witch.
This time, Chu Xiu entered the realm of a martial arts master and naturally broke away from the Dragon and Tiger List. However, because of his performance in this battle, Feng Manlou also ranked Chu Xiu on the Fengyun List, ranking 35th, just after Zhang Chengzhen.
In fact, even Feng Manlou is now unable to explain which one is stronger, which is better, or not.
Chu Xiu challenged four masters, and Shen Bai, who was not inferior to the master.
However, although Zhang Chengzhen's opponent who entered the True Dan realm was only five of the same kind as the ones of man and nature, each of them was not weaker than the master of martial arts.
The Thunder Golden Pill condensed by Zhang Chengzhen has been able to condense for thousands of years, and only Dugu Weiwo, the immortal demon pill, has been successfully condensed by Chu Xiu.
No one can tell who is stronger and who is weaker when the two of them have not fought.
Therefore, Feng Manlou's ranking was only based on the order. Zhang Chengzhen first stepped into the True Dan Realm, and he was ranked ahead of Chu Xiu.
Of course, this ranking does not mean much to Chu Xiu, because now all the people in the martial arts world are looking at Ye Shaonan. As for Chu Xiu himself, he is also happy to keep a low profile. After all, for Chu Xiu now, he has just entered the realm of martial arts true alchemy, and what he needs is time.
After the war, the entire Guanzhong Punishment Hall was completely restored. Those who wanted to run away ran away, but those who didn't run away were all promoted to the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. Chu Xiu was left to the Ghost Hand King for the time being to take care of these things. He had just entered the True Pill Realm and needed to temporarily retreat and stabilize the restless True Pill.
After everything was arranged, Wei Shuya looked at Chu Xiu and shook his head and said, "Your behavior this time is simply a bet on life. Only the leader of the Immortal Demon Pill has been successfully condensed. No one dares to be 100% sure whether it is really immortal.
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice: "At that time, except for gambling, I just wait for death. I don't want to wait for death, so I can only take a risk. Fortunately, God still favors me."
Wei Shuya shook his head. Maybe he was old and had such a dangerous move as Chu Xiu. He might have done it when he was young, but now, he will not do it anymore.
At this time, Wei Shuya suddenly thought of something, and he wondered: "Why did Lord Luo escape in the end? Could it be that when he saw you performing the Piaomiao Slash of the Red Duchen, he thought that Master Dugu would not die?"
Chu Xiu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's possible, after all, Senior Wei, you once said that the former Dugu leader went to the Heavenly Gate and almost destroyed the entire Heavenly Gate with one person's strength. Therefore, it's possible that the people of the Heavenly Gate are afraid of Senior Dugu."
Regarding his abnormality, Chu Xiu did not intend to tell Wei Shuya that this seemed to be the deepest secret of him. Not to mention Wei Shuya, Chu Xiu did not intend to tell anyone.
Wei Shuya nodded hesitantly, but obviously he did not believe this.
The Dugu leader is indeed very famous, but it is not as big as seeing his former move to scare people away.
However, during that battle, only Shenjun Luo saw everything he and Chu Xiu knew. In the eyes of Wei Shuya and others, Chu Xiu only made a knife, and Shenjun Luo was inexplicably scared away.
Wei Shuya didn't bother him much, he just said to Chu Xiu: "You have just entered the True Pill Realm and need to temporarily stay in seclusion for a while, so I won't disturb you.
By the way, Luo Sancong, Zhao Chengping and others will stay under your command. Follow me, the old man, and you will have no future.”
The warriors of Luo Sancong and Zhao Chengping, etc., are not weak. In the past, they had to hide in the dark for most of their time with Wei Shuya. Now the Hidden Demon lineage can regain their foothold in the world. At least the people under Chu Xiu can walk in the Guanzhong area openly, which is a great progress.
After explaining all this, Chu Xiu went straight into seclusion.
I just entered the realm of True Pills and must completely stabilize the martial arts real pills. If I take action rashly, although it will not cause the true pill to break, it will be bad.
After a month of seclusion, Chu Xiu had already stabilized the restless true pill in his body.
In the first path of martial arts, the True Dan Realm is a threshold. After passing through it, it is another level of world. Now Chu Xiu finally has this feeling.
Before, when he was in the realm of unity between man and nature, Chu Xiu's explosive power was also astonishing, but at that time, Chu Xiu could only show this power by relying on his own strength and powerful martial arts.
But when he arrived at the True Pill Realm and had the existence of the Martial Arts Real Pill in his body, Chu Xiu seemed to have some connection with this world, and could control this world with a wave of his hand.
Of course, it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is completely controlled, but at least within Chu Xiu's control, Chu Xiu can use the power of this world.
With his hand out, Chu Xiu gently stroked his eyes, and a trace of true energy was revealed, but this trace of true energy was the power of the energy that touched the world, turning into sharp sword energy and slashing on the wall, leaving a deep knife mark.
One is to passively borrow the power of this world, while the other is to have complete control.
This is also the most straightforward gap between the True Pill Realm and the Realm of the Unity of Heaven and Man.
Entering the True Pill Realm, this should have been a gratifying thing, but Chu Xiu did not feel too excited, but his heart was shrouded in a hint of gloom.
The abnormalities that happened when you entered the True Pill Realm and the performance of Luo Shenjun can prove that you have some strange changes.
But Chu Xiu had no idea about this matter yet. The only thing he was sure of was that he and Dugu Weiwo seemed to have a strange connection. He seemed to live in the shadow of the other party, which felt very bad.
After moving for a while, Chu Xiu pushed open the door of the seclusion room and found the Ghost Hand King to ask about the movements that occurred in the Guanzhong Punishment Hall during this period.
The Ghost Hand King laughed and said, "Since the last war, the land of Guanzhong has become more prosperous than before, and there are even several times more merchants coming and going.
Most of the warriors in Guanzhong Punishment Hall were convinced. Although these guys said they were loyal to Guanzhong Punishment Hall, in fact, for them, as long as there were benefits and protection from strong people, everything would be easy to say.
Even the person who chose to escape wanted to come back, but I refused.
It’s just a person with both ends of rat heads, so it’s useless to ask them.”
Chu Xiu nodded, the Ghost Hand King did the right thing.
Before that battle began, some people chose to escape, while others chose to defend Guanzhong Punishment Hall to the death.
Regardless of whether the disciples who chose to guard the Guanzhong Punishment Hall at that time chose to defend the country because they were loyal to him, since they made the right choice, they should be rewarded.
If those guys who did the wrong come back, it would be really unfair to the warriors who chose to guard the Guanzhong Punishment Hall before.
"By the way, you just said that there are more merchants going to and from Guanzhong. What's going on?"
The Ghost Hand King said: "It's not because of your reputation? Those merchants who come and go to Guanzhong are not only good or evil, but as long as you can bring benefits to them, that's enough.
Before, when Guan Siyu was there, he strictly investigated the smuggling of contraband between the Three Kingdoms. Although there were some fish that missed the net under the unspoken rules, he could not do so blatantly.
At present, the Guanzhong Punishment Hall is decided by you, so naturally there are not so many rules. Just charging some tolls can bring you such a convenient and fast business path. Moreover, your strength can also cover the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, so of course they will not refuse."
Chu Xiu nodded indifferently. At this point in his current state, he no longer cared about those small profits. Almost all the income from Guanzhong Punishment Hall was distributed to the warriors of Guanzhong Punishment Hall under him.
This is very normal for some big sects. They dominate some profits and business. In fact, the strong people in their sect may not need these things, but their disciples still need them.
After explaining a few words to the Ghost Hand King, Chu Xiu went straight to Wei Shuya's house.
Wei Shuya did not leave during this period, and was considered to be protecting the Dharma for Chu Xiu.
After all, he cannot take action casually when he is in the True Alchemy realm, otherwise it will affect his subsequent martial arts practice.
"Thank you, Senior Wei." Chu Xiu bowed in a deep voice.
Wei Shuya waved his hand casually and said, "There is nothing to thank you. You are the one who is doing your best. I am just adding icing on the cake, old man."
"By the way, Senior Wei, after this incident, have my Hidden Demon lineage done anything? What changes have happened in the world?" Chu Xiu asked.
Wei Shuya smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "This time it was supposed to be my Hidden Demon lineage who came to be the protagonist, but he was completely stolen by the Yueyue Teaching.
Ye Shaonan's identity as the number one person in the Demonic Dao has been confirmed. The Moon Worshiping Sect dominated Western Chu and even publicly entered the Central Plains to recruit disciples, with an extremely strong attitude.
All major sects are now alert to the Moon Worshiping Sect, but they don’t have much time to take care of us.
Speaking of which, Ye Shaonan helped us once this time and helped us share a lot of pressure."
Wei Shuya was a little bitter when he said this, and I don’t know if he should be happy or depressed.
