With Fang Sha dead, the situation was set for the time being.
All three Martial Arts Grandmasters in the Guanzhong torture room had fallen. It could be said that Chu Xiu was now the strongest person in the Guanzhong torture room.
Chu Xiu looked back at Xiao Yi and the others and said calmly, "Now that the Guanzhong torture room has suffered a great change, please rest in the main hall for the time being and don't leave. In three days, we will have a meeting in the main hall to discuss the future of the Guanzhong torture room."
Whether it was Yin Botong, who had a grudge against Chu Xiu, or Chu Simo, who had sided with Chu Xiu before, none of them said anything. Instead, it was Xiao Yi who said in a low voice, "Chu Xiu, do you want to annex the Guanzhong torture room and become the new hall master?
With all due respect, although Hall Master Guan is dead, even if we all agree, you can't really control the Guanzhong torture room.
There are too many loopholes in your identity. Even if we don't spread the news, Yang Gongdu has already left evidence in Eastern Qi's Crown Prince. When it is announced to the Jianghu, your identity will be completely exposed.
"If you were only Chu Xiu and not Lin Ye, the hero of diabolism, then with your reputation and status in the Guanzhong torture room, it won't be a problem for you to take over the position of hall master.
"But after your identity is exposed, the Guanzhong torture room will not allow a guy from diabolism to become the new hall master. Even if we stand on your side, it will be useless. The others can just leave the Guanzhong torture room.
So if you force it, all you will get is a broken Guanzhong torture room. Without these low-level arresters, it will be useless to force the torturers to stay. "
Xiao Yi smiled bitterly. He had no intention of deceiving Chu Xiu. He was just telling the truth.
Speaking of which, it was time for the torturers to discuss where they should go.
If Chu Xiu became the new Hall Master, they would not object, nor would they dare to object. But in that case, as he said, the Guanzhong Torture Room would completely fall apart.
Chu Xiu casually waved his hand and said, "There is no need for Lord Xiao to worry about this. I have my own plans."
Xiao Yi and the others had no choice but to follow Chu Xiu's instructions and stay in the Guanzhong torture room with their subordinates, waiting to see how things would change.
After temporarily taking control of the Guanzhong torture room, Chu Xiu immediately sent people to Guanxi and gathered all his men in Guanxi to the headquarters.
In the end, the Imperial Dragonriders were outsiders, and their strength was a bit lacking.
On the other hand, Chu Xiu's men in Guanxi were his trusted aides. Even though Chu Xiu's identity had been exposed, he believed that the Ghost Hand King and the others would not mind joining the demonic path with him.
After dealing with these matters in an orderly manner, Chu Xiu went to Mei Qinglian's room to discuss the follow-up matters.
Ever since Guan Siyu's death, Mei Qinglian had been a little distracted. The impact of this matter on her was too great.
Seeing Mei Qinglian like this, Chu Xiu walked over and said, "Are you still sad about Hall Master Guan's death, Lady Saintess?"
Mei Qinglian shook her head and said, "I can't say that I'm sad. I just feel a little complicated. After all, in the end, Guan Siyu did not betray me."
Chu Xiu also sighed and said, "Although our identities and goals are destined to oppose Hall Master Guan, I have to say that Hall Master Guan is still very admirable in some aspects. Now that he died in the hands of Divine Lord Luo, it's karma passed down from the previous generation. In fact, this is also a good thing. It's better than having a life-and-death battle with us."
Chu Xiu was not hypocritical when he said this. This time, he was telling the truth. Although Guan Siyu was dead, he did have a clear conscience.
As a man, even though he knew that Mei Qinglian was the Devil Demon Sect's Saintess, he still chose to protect Mei Qinglian. It was just that the price was to let Chu Xiu die first.
And as the Torture Hall Master, he did not choose to rely on Eastern Qi because of his own reasons. He still chose to maintain the independence of the Guanzhong Torture Room.
In fact, Guan Siyu's choice to rely on Eastern Qi was a very good choice for him.
After all, the Eastern Qi imperial court was the Eastern Qi imperial court. Although the power of the court was different from that of Jianghu, once they gathered together, it was a very terrifying thing.
Relying on the Eastern Qi imperial court was equivalent to Guan Siyu having a big backer. Perhaps even Divine Lord Luo could be stopped. At least he did not have to die. He could even make the Guanzhong Torture Room his private property and pass it on to his children or disciples.
But at the moment of life and death, Guan Siyu could clearly retreat, but he still chose to fight. He did not let down Chu Kuangge's kindness in training him.
Although Chu Xiu stood on the opposite side of Guan Siyu, he could not help but admire Guan Siyu. When he spoke, he still addressed Guan Siyu as Hall Master.
For some people, some things were worth protecting with everything they had, even if they had to risk their lives for it.
Chu Xiu did not know if he was such a person. Anyway, there was nothing for him to risk his life for now. On the contrary, Chu Xiu cherished his life very much. Only when he was alive could everything be possible. If he was dead, everything would naturally be in vain.
At this time, Mei Qinglian stood up. She swept away her previous confusion and said in a low voice, "Given the current situation of the Guanzhong Torture Room, what do you want to do? Xiao Yi is right. When Eastern Qi reveals our identities, 80% of the people in the Guanzhong Torture Room will not agree to let you be the Hall Master. Even if you threaten them with force, they will directly leave the Guanzhong Torture Room. In the end, the entire Guanzhong Torture Room will fall apart. It will be useless for you to get an empty shell. "
Mei Qinglian was not a little girl who would be trapped by love. She was the Holy Virgin of the Yin Demon Sect and also a Martial Arts Grand Master of the Yinmo Clan. At this time, she had put away those complicated emotions and temporarily faced the situation in front of her.
The real value of the Guanzhong Torture Room did not lie in its name, but in the large number of Jianghu constables and secret agents of the Guanzhong Torture Room.
Although these people were usually inconspicuous, they were the core strength of the entire Guanzhong Torture Room.
It could be said that other than Guan Siyu, the Hall Master, the other so-called leaders of the Arrest Division, torture officers, and patrol officers could be eliminated, but the large number of martial artists of the Guanzhong Torture Room at the bottom could not be eliminated.
Therefore, the first problem in front of Chu Xiu was, how could they control the Guanzhong Torture Room?
Chu Xiu asked in return, "Who said I want to be the Hall Master?"
Mei Qinglian was stunned. Did Chu Xiu want to give up the Hall Master position?
Chu Xiu said in a deep voice, "I know what Xiao Yi said. I know how high my position in the Guanzhong Torture Room is. I also know that forcibly taking the Hall Master position is not upright, and it will indeed cause a lot of trouble. What we want is the entire Guanzhong Torture Room, not the so-called Hall Master reputation. Therefore, as long as we can control the Hall Master, what difference is there from controlling the Guanzhong Torture Room? "
Mei Qinglian's eyes lit up. "You mean to find a puppet to be the Hall Master, and then we just need to control that puppet?"
But then Mei Qinglian frowned and said, "But this puppet is also very difficult to find. Right now, there is no one in the Guanzhong Torture Room who is qualified for this position.
Xiao Yi, Chu Simo, Si Ming, and the others have enough seniority, but not enough prestige.
Actually, if your identity is not exposed, you are the most suitable person to be the Hall Master. Unfortunately, there is no suitable person now. "
At this moment, a strange expression appeared on Chu Xiu's face. He said, "Actually, the position of Hall Master does not require strength. If someone is too strong, we won't be able to control them. What we need is someone who is qualified to inherit the Hall Master position. At least in terms of status, no one can stop him from becoming the Hall Master. And coincidentally, there is such a person in the Guanzhong Torture Room. "
Mei Qinglian frowned and said, "Who are you talking about?"
Chu Xiu pointed outside and said, "Of course it's the former Hall Master Chu Kuangge's only son, Chu Yuansheng. If he becomes the Hall Master, who in the entire Guanzhong Torture Room would dare to say no?"
When Mei Qinglian heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. The person Chu Xiu chose was indeed very clever. In the entire Guanzhong Torture Room, there was indeed no one more suitable than Chu Yuansheng for this position.
Even when Chu Kuangge was on the verge of death, with his prestige in the Guanzhong Torture Room, if he forcefully pushed for Chu Yuansheng to become the Hall Master, no one in the Guanzhong Torture Room would object. Guan Siyu would even be willing to help Chu Yuansheng secure this position.
However, Chu Kuangge was truly selfless. He knew that his son was not suited to be a hall master. It would be difficult for him to even become a patrol inspector. That was why he stood his ground and gave the position of hall master to Guan Siyu.
Mei Qinglian frowned and said, "But, will Chu Yuansheng agree to your request? I know Chu Yuansheng quite well. Although he can't even compare to a ten-thousandth of his father, and is very disappointing, he is not a cowardly person who is afraid of death. If you force him into a corner, he will fight to the death with you. "
Chu Xiu shook his head and said, "Saintess, you underestimate me. In the past, Chu Yuansheng was my benefactor who brought me into the Guanzhong Torture Room. Why would I threaten him?
Don't worry, leave this matter to me. You need to contact Senior Wei as soon as possible and ask him or Senior Chu Wuji to come over. The real danger of the Guanzhong Torture Room is yet to come.
If we don't handle this matter well, even if we successfully control the Guanzhong Torture Room, we won't be able to hold on for long. "
Mei Qinglian was puzzled and asked, "Handle what matter well?"
Chu Xiu touched his nose and said, "It's mainly about me. I used the identity of Lin Ye to kill a lot of people and caused a lot of trouble. There are countless karmic ties. When my identity is exposed, you can imagine how those people will react. Therefore, we need to think of a way to deal with it in advance. "
Chu Xiu was also very helpless at this moment. This was the price of attracting too much hatred. Sooner or later, he would have to pay for it.
