There were more than ten small cities in Jianzhou Prefecture, and there were dozens of martial arts forces among them.
However, those that could stand on the stage had at least a Physical Invulnerability Realm martial artist in charge. There were about twelve or three such martial arts forces, and their strength was not too weak.
In the past, the Guanzhong torture room was weak, but it did not mean that the local martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture were weak.
The Jiang family was one of the top martial forces in Jianzhou Prefecture, but they were destroyed by Chu Xiu without hesitation some time ago. This made the other martial arts forces in Jianzhou Prefecture angry but also a little afraid. They could not help but recall some memories hidden in the bottom of their hearts.
In the past, when Guan Siyu had just taken over the Guanzhong torture room, outsiders said that he was impartial and merciless. He even crippled and killed his own disciples.
However, it was important to note that this was only how Guan Siyu treated his own people. He was already so harsh to his own people, so how could he show mercy to outsiders?
In the past, when Guan Siyu had just taken over the Guanzhong Punishment Hall, she had killed many people and destroyed many sects in order to stabilize the order of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall. She only stopped when everyone was killed to the point that they no longer dared to violate the rules of the Guanzhong Punishment Hall.
Chu Xiu's cruel methods of doing things were somewhat similar to Guan Siyu's in the past.
In the Luo family of Luocheng, the heads of the twelve major forces in Jianzhou Prefecture were all gathered here.
The Luo family was a big family of the same level as the Jiang family in the past. The Jiang family was known as Jiang Bancheng in Qi City, and the Luo family was in Luocheng. Even Luocheng was built because of the existence of the Luo family.
At this time, in a secret room in the Luo family, people from the twelve major forces in Jianzhou Prefecture were all present.
The Luo family's Great Ancestor also had the cultivation of the Three Flower Realm. Although he looked old, he was not as old as the Jiang family's Great Ancestor. The power of the Luo family was also in the hands of the Luo family's Great Ancestor.
At this time, there were twelve people in the meeting hall. In the end, these twelve people were either sitting there with their eyes fixed on their noses and mouths, not saying a word. Or they were drinking tea as if the Luo family's tea was some kind of delicacy.
The Luo Family Patriarch wore a black brocade robe with cloud patterns. Although his hair was a little white, it was neat and tidy.
Seeing everyone's reaction, the Luo Family's Ancestor couldn't help but frown. "I say, everyone, it was you who suggested to find a place to discuss this matter. In the end, my Luo Family has provided such an opportunity and a place, but in the end, none of you said anything. What is the meaning of this?"
When they heard the Luo Clan's Ancestor, all of them started to discuss in low voices. Meanwhile, a middle-aged man who was dressed like a scholar stood up and cupped his hands, "Everyone, all of you've seen Chu Xiu's way of doing things. He's vicious, merciless, and doesn't give anyone any face. He's completely ruthless and doesn't care about rules or reason at all.
Not to mention the Jiang Clan, we have also done such a thing. Everyone, don't be in a hurry to shirk responsibility. Who dares to say that none of you have violated the rules of the Guanzhong Torture Hall?
If Chu Xiu treats the Jiang Family like this, then there's no need to mention how he treats us. Therefore, this time, when Chu Xiu invited us to the banquet, it's most likely not a good banquet. "
The scholar who spoke was the Sect Leader of the Jianzhou Prefecture's Divine Feathers Sect, Soaring Feather Falcon, Cheng Gongtai. He was most proficient in speed-type movement techniques and had a cultivation of the Physical Invulnerability Realm.
Hearing Cheng Gongtai's words, a rough-looking man dressed in black scratched his head and said, "Old Cheng's words make sense. This Chu Xiu doesn't have any good intentions at all! Look at the time he invited us to the banquet. It's exactly noon. Who would choose such an inauspicious time to invite us? What is he trying to do? Execute us at noon? "
This black-robed man, Dou Weihu, was the Hall Leader of the Heiyan Hall in the Jianzhou Prefecture. He was born in the wilderness and eventually established the Heiyan Hall. His history was short, only slightly more than ten years. However, he was very strong. Although he was only at the Physical Invulnerability Realm, his physical cultivation was extremely terrifying.
After hearing Dou Weihu's words, someone else chimed in, "That's right. After this Chu Xiu annihilated the Jiang Family, he didn't wait for us to pay our respects. This time, he's probably going to take action personally. When that time comes, we don't even know whether we'll be greeted with swords or wine!"
Following these two people's words, the crowd began to discuss again. It was much livelier than before.
However, this time, the crowd seemed more like they were chatting and bragging. After talking for a long time, no one could come up with a concrete plan.
Looking at this chaotic scene, the Luo Family Patriarch shouted in a low voice, "All of you, shut up! Everyone gathered together to come up with ideas, not to chat. Right now, all the sects in the Jianzhou Prefecture are under the pressure of Lord Chu Xiu. This time, what kind of attitude should we use to face Lord Chu Xiu? In fact, should we go or not go? Everyone, please come up with a plan. "
Everyone looked at each other, then at each other, but no one said a word.
In the end, Dou Weihu from the Heiyan Hall sneered and said, "You guys are too cowardly. What's there to discuss about this? Since the other party is planning a Hongmen Banquet, why don't we just not go? No matter how domineering Chu Xiu is, he can't attack us just because we don't go to the banquet. It's true that a martial arts faction can't stop the Jianzhou Prefecture's Inspector Hall. However, what if all the martial arts factions in the Jianzhou Prefecture unite together? I don't believe that Chu Xiu would dare to force us all to rebel! "
The people from the martial arts factions all nodded. What Dou Weihu said made sense.
Guanzhong was not the chaotic land of the past. Now, there were still rules.
Chu Xiu could be domineering and domineering, but he could not run amok.
If he dared to force all the martial arts factions in the Jianzhou Prefecture to rebel, this matter would definitely alarm the headquarters.
At that time, Chu Xiu would definitely not be able to bear the consequences. This matter was no longer something that Wei Jiuduan could suppress.
However, after discussing for a long time, they still could not come to a conclusion. In the end, they could not even come to a conclusion on whether they should accept Chu Xiu's invitation to attend the banquet three days later. In the end, everyone could only leave with their own thoughts.
After everyone left, the Luo Family Patriarch rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. A few martial artists from the core generation of the Luo Family walked out. One of them asked, "Patriarch, have you come to a conclusion?"
The Luo Family Patriarch snorted coldly when he heard that and said, "Come to a fart!
Even at this point, this bunch of idiots still have their own plans. Everyone has their own schemes in their hearts. Without a knife to their necks, it's impossible to join forces!
If my Luo Family really joins forces with this bunch of idiots, I'm afraid we'll die even faster! "
"Then, are we going or going out on Chu Xiu's invitation this time?" the martial artist asked.
The Luo Family Patriarch said indifferently, "Of course we're going. Why not?
The shot shoots the bird that sticks out. The Jiang Family has already taken care of this bird that sticks out. My Luo Family naturally can't be the second.
Let's see. When the time comes, we just need to see this Chu Xiu's attitude and act according to the crowd.
In the past, the Jiang Family hooked up with Wei Jiuduan and developed their business and family's strength wantonly. They even faintly had the reputation of being the number one family in the Jianzhou Prefecture. Back then, you were still envious and prepared to learn from the Jiang Family. In the end, what about now? Do you still want to learn from the Jiang Family?
Remember, it's not that easy to be first, and it's the same for the second.
So, our Luo Family doesn't seek to be first or second. We just want to be third or fourth. That way, we can live longer. "
The martial artists of the Luo Family all nodded. At the moment, the power of the Luo Family was still in the hands of the Luo Family Patriarch. As long as the Patriarch said something, regardless of whether they understood it or not, they just needed to remember it.
Three days later, in the Phoenix Restaurant, Chu Xiu directly booked the largest restaurant in the Jianzhou City, the Phoenix Restaurant. The banquet was held on the sixth floor of the Phoenix Restaurant.
The Guanzhong area was located in the center of the three countries, so the food also had the style of the three countries.
As the inspector of the Jianzhou Prefecture, Chu Xiu also had the backing of a small local force in the Jianzhou City. This time, in order to please Chu Xiu, they also put in a lot of effort and put in all kinds of delicacies.
Chu Xiu had arrived at the main seat a long time ago. There were 12 seats below him. It was not even noon yet, but people from various martial arts factions had arrived one after another.
Those who arrived first were the weaker martial arts forces. They didn't think too much about it, purely because they didn't want to offend Chu Xiu.
The Luo Family Patriarch was the fourth to enter. Although he had the cultivation of the Three Flower Realm at One's Prominence, he still took the initiative to greet Chu Xiu and said, "Official Chu is indeed worthy of being a young talent on the Longhu List. As expected, you are outstanding, young, and promising."
The Luo Family Patriarch was old friends with the Jiang Family Patriarch in the past. They had worked together and fought each other, so he had a good understanding of the Jiang Family Patriarch's strength.
Now, he was so polite to Chu Xiu not only because of Chu Xiu's status, but also because Chu Xiu had the strength to kill the Jiang Family Patriarch. Based on this alone, they were on equal footing.
Chu Xiu smiled and said, "Old Master Luo, you're too polite. You're a senior in the martial arts world, so please take care of me in the future."
The Luo Family Patriarch chuckled and said, "Sure, sure. I believe that the Jianzhou Prefecture will be even more glorious under the leadership of Official Chu in the future."
As the two of them pretentiously flattered each other, many people from other martial arts forces also arrived one after another.
Cheng Gongtai of the Divine Feather Sect, who previously said that Chu Xiu was up to no good, came, and so did Dou Weihu of the Heiyan Hall.
Seeing Dou Weihu walk in, the rest of the people cursed in their hearts. This boor looked rough, but in reality, he was the most scheming.
Back when they were at the Luo Family Patriarch, Dou Weihu said that Chu Xiu's banquet was a trap and that he wouldn't come. In the end, didn't he come obediently?
If there was really an idiot who listened to Dou Weihu and didn't come, then that person would really stand out. At that time, he would probably become Chu Xiu's primary target.
