Chapter 267
After Lord Zhou Jue was convicted, the power structure of the underworld changed greatly.
There were six palace masters in Luo Feng's six days, but now only four are left.
They are respectively the Palace Master of Mingchen Naijue Palace, the Palace Master of Tianzhao Sinqi Palace, the Palace Master of Zongling Qifei, and the Palace Master of Gansi Lianwan Palace.
Among them, the master of Gansi Palace lived in seclusion thousands of years ago and did not care about worldly affairs. Therefore, his Gansi Palace only had some subordinates taking care of basic affairs.
The situation of Palace Master Zongling is similar to that of Palace Master Gansi. Although he does not live in seclusion, he is in a semi-retired state and does not participate in the power struggle in the underworld.
It is worth mentioning that the master of Zongling Palace is an expert in divination. Princess Shengyue can use the divination technique only once in three thousand years, but he only needs one thousand years to use it.
Apart from these two palace masters, the main people in charge of affairs in Fengdu City today are Palace Master Mingchen and Palace Master Tianzhao. These two belong to the same camp, and neither of them has any ambitions.
Therefore, after the death of Palace Master Zhou, the overall environment of the struggle for power in the underworld has improved to a certain extent, and it has temporarily presented a calm scene.
Under such an environment, through the relationship with Princess Shengyue, I gradually became the most trusted undercover agent of Emperor Fengdu.
Although I only hold the official position of Beidi, my actual power has exceeded that of the two palace masters of Luo Feng Liutian.
Because Luo Feng Liutian is a great underworld person determined by nature and cannot be promoted later in life, so in the underworld, my position as the Northern Ghost Emperor has already been reached.
Being in such a high position, the underworld below me flatters and bribes me a lot, but the purpose of all this is not to compete for anything.
I just wanted to be wary of Pluto’s conspiracy. Since that day he and I broke up on bad terms, and we have never seen each other again.
During this period, I went to Wushan many times to see the Evil Mirror Girl, but failed to do so. It was obvious that Pluto was also wary of me.
The conflict between me and him did not break out directly, but the difference was probably just an opportunity.
After talking about the underworld, let’s talk about the earthly world. Under the leadership of Liu Ruxuan, the Ksitigarbha Temple has maintained a prosperous situation.
Because of Yang Qingyun's emergence, the Tianshi Sect has returned to its original peak and has become the leader of the spiritual cultivation sect.
As for Qingqiu, after Palace Master Zhou Jue was convicted, through unremitting efforts, I have cleared them of the charge of treason.
Huang Shuai took the remaining fox fairies back to the old site of Qingqiu and re-developed the power of the fox fairies.
Among all the sects, only Fengdu Mansion has declined.
Leng Ningxiang had previously relied on the power of Palace Master Zhou Jue to occupy a lot of resources that did not belong to her, so she also offended many spiritual cultivators and undercover people.
As soon as Palace Master Zhou Jue fell, those old enemies put all the blame on her. For a while, Leng Ningxiang found it difficult to even protect herself.
In my opinion, she did this entirely on her own initiative, because the decision to marry Palace Master Zhou Jue regardless of Yang Yun's feelings was her own decision.
If you sow evil causes, you will only reap the consequences, so I have no sympathy for Leng Ningxiang.
One day, I finished handling official business in Fengdu City and was about to return to Beidi Mansion when it got dark, when I saw a figure at the door of the mansion.
She bowed slightly towards me and saluted.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
I frowned and saw that this person was Leng Ningxiang.
"A living person cannot go to the underworld without authorization. This is the law of the underworld. Don't you understand?
Or do you still think that you are the wife of Zhou Jue Palace and have the privilege of entering and exiting the underworld at will?"
A few months have passed, and Leng Ningxiang's appearance has not changed much from before, but her eyes are obviously much more weathered than before, so I can guess what she has been through during this time.
She still said to me with a smile on her face: "Having become a popular person around the emperor, have you lost even the most basic human kindness?"
I said coldly: "Have we ever had any friendship between you and me? Regarding my master's matter and the matter in which you helped Palace Master Zhou Jue deal with me before, I have treated you very well by not settling the score with you. You are the best
It’s better not to ask for trouble here.”
After saying that, I pushed her away.
Leng Ning was very deep in Xiangcheng Mansion, and even when she was at a disadvantage, her face never showed timidity, but at this moment, I saw fear on her face for the first time.
She gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and said, "Fengdu Mansion is gone..."
I was stunned.
"What?"
Then Leng Ningxiang explained the situation to me. During this period, Fengdu Mansion has been under pressure from some sects. It stands to reason that Leng Ningxiang's resourcefulness will not be unable to deal with those small sects.
But now those small sects are all under the banner of Tianshi Sect, with the support of Tianshi Sect, and there have always been conflicts between Tianshi Sect and Fengdu Prefecture, so such a run on them is not a trivial matter.
Gradually, civil strife began to occur in Fengdu Prefecture. Some leaders could not resist the pressure and wanted to overthrow Leng Ningxiang so as to prevent Fengdu Prefecture from being implicated by her.
But how could Leng Ningxiang give up her power? Then there was an internal fight with the disciple leaders.
In the end, the fight ended in defeat for both sides. She killed most of the disciple leaders and almost all the rest ran away. In this way, Fengdu Mansion collapsed.
Without the protection of Fengdu Mansion, Leng Ningxiang's enemies were no longer afraid of her and came to settle accounts with her one after another. She had no choice but to escape to the underworld.
Unexpectedly, some evil spirits in the underworld also regarded her as their mortal enemy. She was desperate and finally came to my Beidi Mansion in Luofeng Mountain.
After listening to her words, I shook my head.
"You are so smart that you have been fooled by your cleverness. At this point, no one can help you."
She said: "If I get down here from Luofeng Mountain, I might die in the hands of those shady people tonight."
I said coldly: "It has nothing to do with me."
Leng Ningxiang looked at me with pleading eyes.
"Yang Xinchen, do you still remember what I said before? If one day you dominate the sky, I, Leng Ningxiang, will willingly fall at your feet."
As he said this, he held my hand.
"Your Beidi Mansion is now a place of great power, but it only lacks a mistress. As long as you are willing, from now on, I can control the internal affairs of this Beidi Mansion for you.
You can also work hard outside with peace of mind. You and I will control the outside and the inside. From now on, the power in the underworld is destined to belong to you and me."
