In the Cui family residence, when Cui Xiaolian expressed his speculation, all the elders felt a chill in their hearts. They knew that the eldest brother and the sixth son were the most powerful members of the clan. How powerful must the Ming Xiu cultivated by these two people be?
One of the elders coughed dryly and said: "Third Master, actually I think the most important thing is the two monks next to the young lady. Just imagine, Ye Xiao, Bo Rong, Lian Xue, Gui Tongzi, these are not simple characters. , even they were damaged in the hands of that man, don’t you think it’s a little strange?”
"Go on!" Cui Xiaolian said with his eyes focused.
"There are countless powerful people in the Netherworld, probably only a few. Based on the information of our Cui family, these people have been unable to escape for a long time. Where did such a powerful person come from? Why have I never heard of it before? Its reputation.”
Everyone was surprised and speculated about Cheng Ling's identity.
Someone asked doubtfully: "Could it be that there are strong men hidden by other forces who want to take advantage of the internal strife in our Cui family to get a share of the pie?"
"Hmph, that's nonsense. Our Cui family has many ancestors sitting in charge. Which force would dare to do this?"
Cui Xiaolian immediately rejected it. Then, he took a deep breath and said: "Everyone, our Cui family's internal fighting has made other forces laugh a lot. This kind of crisis has reached the time that it must be resolved."
After a pause, he continued: "I have a hunch that Cheng Ling will definitely escort Hua Yi to the clan's territory soon. Rather than intercepting her in every possible way and owing such a huge favor, it is better to wait for work. We will wait for him here." Come to the door.”
Everyone's hearts moved. They didn't need to take action themselves, so there was no way they were unwilling.
At that moment, they all praised: "The third master has great insight. As long as they dare to come, we will use all the power at our disposal to annihilate them in one fell swoop. By then, the internal strife in the family will surely subside. The ancestor has no choice but to admit that the third master has succeeded as the head of the family." Bit."
Cui Xiaolian Qiangang was arbitrary, and the matter was settled.
After everyone left, he stood up and paced back and forth in the empty hall. After a while, he suddenly stopped, with a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
"Cheng Ling...this name sounds strange, so let me get to know you first."
After saying that, his figure flashed and left the hall!
Fengya City is already considered the core of the Netherworld Underworld, where several powerful forces such as Xing Lusi, Evil Ghost Division, and Animal Division are stationed.
In comparison, the Huangquan Road, Naihe Bridge, Mengpo Hall, etc. after entering the Hell Gate are only on the periphery of the Netherworld. The core of these institutions is at its center.
The Cui family is entrenched in an ancient city thousands of miles away from Fengya City, called Youluo City. It is an extremely ancient city with a history that can be traced back to the ancient times. It is famous all over the world for its Criminal Law Division, which controls trials and punishments. .
The Criminal Law Department has been in the hands of the Cui family since ancient times, and it has never changed even when Emperor Netherworld was on the throne.
The Cui family's stronghold in Fengya City is located in the bustling city of Dongcheng, giving it a feeling of being hidden away from the city.
The most famous thing in Fengya City is Baixiao Tower. Baixiao Tower is a force that spreads all over the world. It has branches in every city and sells magic weapons, elixirs, exercises, spiritual materials and other cultivation treasures. It is a unique large trading house in the entire Netherworld.
It is not even an exaggeration to say that as long as you can afford the price, anything in this world can be bought at Baixiao Tower.
As for the origin of Baixiao Tower, no one knows their origins. Some people speculate that the person behind Bai Xiaolou should be Judge Cui of the Cui family. After all, as a judge in the Netherworld, it is necessary to know all kinds of information about those wronged souls and evil ghosts. It makes sense to establish such an intelligence agency.
In fact, this statement is very close to the truth.
At this time, Dongcheng was as bustling and lively as usual.
"This is Fengya City? It's really different from other places."
"It's very simple, because this is a world-famous commercial capital. Countless businesses and vendors come in and out every day. The trade exchanges are extremely prosperous, which makes the mobility of people very high."
From a distance, Cheng Ling and three people walked side by side. They followed the crowds and walked along the streets that were as dense as a spider web. After a while, they finally stopped in front of a sparsely populated street.
Diagonally across the street, a few hundred feet away, stood a row of row upon row of buildings, ordinary and nothing eye-catching. In front of the eaves of one of the buildings, a plaque with the words "Feng Ya Ju" was hung.
Obviously, this is the location of Cui's secret stronghold that Cui Yiyi wants to find.
The interior of Fengya Residence was quiet and elegant, with bright and clean windows. Cheng Ling settled Bai Yu and Cui Yiyi here, pondered for a while, and planned to go out.
In the southeast of Fengya City, there is an inconspicuous pavilion, which is a hundred feet high and has a simple appearance, but the word "Baixiao Pavilion" is clearly written on the plaque.
As we all know, Baixiaolou is the number one trading house in the Netherworld, but the most famous one is the news about Baixiaolou. For customers who can pay the price, Baixiaolou knows everything and can get any information and secrets from it.
On the other hand, if you can't pay the price, Baixiaolou will know nothing.
The name Baixiaolou came from this at the beginning.
The background of Baixiao Tower is very mysterious and terrifying. Even big forces such as Liudaosi, Huangquan Palace, and Mengpo Palace are not willing to mess with it at will, and their status is quite aloof.
On the first floor of Baixiao Building, an old man with a calm temperament was sitting behind the papers, looking through the accounts in his hand, with a serious and meticulous expression.
"Now, is Mr. Mo still responsible for the news about Cui?" At this time, a person walked in.
The old man raised his head, and when he saw the appearance of the person coming clearly, he couldn't help but startled, then stood up solemnly and said: "That's right."
"Okay." The man nodded and walked straight into the building.
"Weird, weird." The old man watched the man leave, with a hint of doubt in his expression, as if he didn't expect that the other person had time to come here.
But soon, he stopped thinking about it because someone else came to the door.
"Do you want to buy or sell treasures, or inquire for information?" The old man sat in the chair and continued to look through the accounts in his hands, asking calmly.
"Pry for information."
"Oh? What's the news?" the old man asked without raising his head.
"About Cui."
The old man was startled, then slowly raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the young man standing in front of the document, and then said after a while: "Which Mr. Cui?"
"That one from Xing Lusi!" the young man said calmly. He was wearing purple clothes and had an indifferent temperament. He was Cheng Ling.
"Three thousand king-level underworld crystals." The old man reported a price.
Cheng Ling was startled and said, "Isn't this price too expensive? Isn't it just a sheep being slaughtered?"
The old man raised his head and made sure that the other party was not joking about him, and then he said seriously, "If you come back in ten days, I will only charge you one ordinary nether crystal, but now, not one of the three thousand king-level nether crystals can be missing."
Cheng Ling frowned: "Is there anything else special about this?"
"Don't you know that in ten days, Cui's 'ancestor worship ceremony' will be held?" the old man asked.
Ancestor worship ceremony?
Cheng Ling frowned, Cui Yiyi did not explain this.
The old man looked at Cheng Ling in surprise, but said no more.
"This is three thousand king-level underworld crystals." Cheng Ling raised his hand and handed over a storage ring.
The old man was a little surprised at this moment. He took a deep look at Cheng Ling, then picked up the storage ring. With a sweep of his consciousness, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips. He nodded and said, "Go in from here and go to Room A on the fifth floor." , someone will tell you everything."
"Thank you." Cheng Ling cupped his hands, turned around and walked towards Baixiao Tower.
"To be able to take out such a fortune easily, it seems that this young man is not an ordinary person." The old man watched Cheng Ling's back disappear, and his eyes fell on the storage ring again, thoughtfully.
Room A on the fifth floor of Baixiao Building.
Cheng Ling pushed the door open and entered. There was only one desk and two chairs in this room. It was not large in area, but it was equipped with a layer of restrictions. It was able to block the detection of spiritual consciousness, making it appear to be extremely safe and private.
"What do you want to know?" Behind the document is a man in black robes. His whole body is covered in black robes, only a pair of calm and indifferent eyes are exposed.
"How did Judge Cui disappear?" Cheng Ling sat in front of the case and spoke calmly.
The black-robed man was startled, but still replied: "Following the disappearance of the sixth Netherworld Emperor more than a hundred years ago, King Ksitigarbha, Judge Cui and others disappeared one after another. All the powerful men who control the three great wills of the Netherworld have disappeared. Their whereabouts are still unknown, some say they are all dead, others say they may be trapped somewhere.”
"I want to know why they disappeared?" Cheng Ling said.
"This is not within the scope of my knowledge, so it is difficult to answer." The man in black robe replied without thinking.
Although he had predicted such a result, Cheng Ling still couldn't help but feel disappointed. After a while, he asked about Cui's situation.
The man in black robe knew the Cui family very well and told him everything he knew. However, when Cheng Ling asked about the ancestor worship ceremony, he obviously felt that the other party's words had stopped a little.
After a moment, he explained: "The Ancestor Worship Ceremony is a ritual for worshiping ancestors within the Cui family. It happens once a year. The ceremony is not important. What is important is that this ancestor worship ceremony will finally end the civil strife in the Cui family in recent times. , allowing the third elder Cui Xiaolian to successfully take over the power of the Cui family."
"What's particularly important is that after Cui Xiaolian inherits the position of patriarch, Cui Zhongyi, the ancestor of the Cui family, will use a forbidden technique to open the secret realm of the ancestral land for Cui Xiaolian to enter and understand the mantle passed down by his ancestors."
When Cheng Ling heard this, he immediately understood. It seemed that the key point was the ancestor worship ceremony ten days later!
The position of the Cui family has been hanging for a long time, and the internal strife in the family is endless. As the ancestor of the Cui family, naturally, he cannot tolerate it continuing. Although Cui Xiaolian is despicable, looking at the Cui clan, he may be the only candidate to succeed the clan leader.
By then, even if Cui Yiyi returns to the clan, it will no longer be able to change the overall situation.
Therefore, Cui Xiaolian will try every means to prevent Cui Huayi from returning. And at this critical moment, before everything has settled, Cui Xiaolian will never tolerate any accidents, which is why Cui Yiyi is frequently hunted down.
Because strictly speaking, Cui Yiyi is the heir to the position of clan leader. The blood flowing in her body is unique and is the key to unlocking the secret realm of the ancestral land. There is no need to ask the ancestor of the Cui family to take action.
