A few days later, news spread throughout Mingque City that the Underworld Prison Division bombarded the city guards, brutally killed the four generals guarding the Yamen, and took away the city guard commander.
Coupled with the previous descriptions of Changsheng in the Ghost Mist Abyss and the Spiritual Snake Sect, Changsheng was unparalleled in the Mingque Dynasty.
From this, the name of the madman spread.
That night, Ouyang Haoguang was reading the memorial in his palace, and Zhou Yushu, the minister of state, asked to see him.
"My minister Zhou Yushu has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"This is not a court, father-in-law, you don't have to be like this."
"It has been six years since my daughter Xin'er passed away, and His Highness is still alone. I can't bear to see Your Highness getting thinner and thinner after working hard for the dynasty. If there is someone suitable..."
"Don't mention this kind of thing again." Ouyang Haoguang interrupted Zhou Yushu: "My father-in-law should know about my affection for Xin'er. By the way, what's the important thing for my father-in-law to see me late at night?"
"We have tested that strange man who can use blood to attack many times, and now he can be used by His Highness."
"My father-in-law can arrange these things. What is the situation of those prince guards now?"
"There are nearly a thousand people, and they are all above Foundation Establishment. There are nearly 300 people who have achieved great success, and there are more than 40 masters of Ningzhen. However, there is still a big gap compared to the Songque Guard and the Dark Guard."
"The Mingque Guard and the Secret Guard were trained by my father for my sister. Don't keep comparing yourself with them." Although Ouyang Haoguang said this, his brows furrowed inadvertently.
"Some words... I don't know whether I should say it or not?" Zhou Yushu said, looking at Ouyang Haoguang's frowning brows.
"Father-in-law, there is no need to worry, but it doesn't matter."
"Have you noticed, Your Highness, that the princess is becoming more and more majestic in the dynasty?"
"What do you want to say?" Ouyang Haoguang looked at Zhou Yushu coldly.
"Your Highness, please calm down. The old minister risked his life to remonstrate. Please listen to what the old minister has to say."
"explain."
"The prince handed over the great seal of the Supervisory State to His Highness, and the princess should follow His Highness's lead. But now almost all the decisions in the court are decided by the princess. If this continues, the Supervisory State in the hands of Your Highness will Isn’t the Great Seal useless?”
Zhou Yushu looked at Ouyang Haoguang's gradually furrowed brows, and continued: "Now the two strongest combat forces in the imperial court are, first, the Mingque Guards, and second, the Twelve Military Aircraft Defense Battalions. In addition to our own, His Highness has Except for the prince's guard that I have worked so hard to cultivate, I don't even have the combat power to show off. And I estimate that the secret guard in the hands of the princess is definitely no worse than the Mingque Guard and the defense camp."
"What? Master Zhou wants me to take power from my sister and Master Meng?"
"No, Your Highness, it's not about gaining power. It's about letting the Secret Guards, Songbird Guards and Twelve Defense Battalions serve Your Highness wholeheartedly. Including the current Underworld Division."
Ouyang Haoguang still frowned, but he looked up at Zhou Yushu.
At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, but the two of them chatted until dawn.

"You old fool, in the past six hundred years, no matter how much you and I devour souls, nothing has ever happened to us. Don't you know the reason?"
Not far outside the martial arts academy, behind a big tree surrounded by three people, the soul of Xianfeng Daogu sharply scolded the red-faced and sturdy Hun Shuo. Hun Shuo was like a child, lowering his head and saying "Yeah, ah, ah" in agreement.
"Know? Did you know that you swallowed up an entire caravan?"
"But~~~~But I thought I couldn't devour any more souls near my little master. Tianyue City is far away from here, so I ate more souls."
"Are those of yours? Are you the number 20 in the entire caravan?" Hun Li said angrily, with a face full of hatred.
"Okay, okay. I understand, you keep talking about me like this, where do you want me to put my old face? Now, I brought a lot." Hun Shuo said, taking out a black bone bottle and handing it to To Hun Li.
"No one else has seen it, so why bother with your old face?"
"Little... little..."
At this time, Hun Shuo was looking forward with wide eyes, mumbling the word "small" in his mouth, and kicked Hun Li's arm hard with one hand.
"Why are you pushing on my clothes? Huh? Little...little girl Zi."
"Grandpa, why are you quarreling? Now, I have a lot of delicious food here for you, so please stop quarreling."
"Xiao Zi is so nice. Grandpa doesn't make any noise. Grandpa doesn't make any noise."
Next to the two of them, there was a cute little Zi in purple clothes. Xiao Zi held a handful of sweets in her little hand and stretched it out towards the two of them. Behind Xiao Zi, stood Chang Sheng, Xiao Yu and Zai Zai.
The two old men smiled and took the candy handed over by Xiao Zi, and then hugged their fists towards Chang Sheng and the others.
"Sir, miss."
"Senior, you would never dare to do this." Changsheng and Xiaoyu hurriedly clasped their fists in return.
"Brother, these two grandpas gave me beautiful bracelets." Xiao Zi floated in front of Changsheng and raised her pink and tender arms in a show off.
"Then did you thank Grandpa?" Chang Sheng said as his consciousness reached out towards the two old men: "Soul Clan?"
Chang Sheng was shocked and rushed to Xiao Zi with a single step, then quickly picked her up and put her into Xiao Yu's arms.
Zaizai saw Chang Sheng's vigilance and stared at the two of them, making a warning sound in his throat.
"It's okay, brother, grandpa will not hurt us." Xiao Zi gently broke away from Xiao Yu's arms and said softly.
"Yes, Young Master Changsheng. We never wanted to hurt you." Hun Li was also surprised by Changsheng's behavior.
"Master Changsheng? It seems that you are very familiar with me?"
"To be honest, Mr. Changsheng, we have been following you since we discovered Xiao... Miss Xiao Zi."
"Are you protecting Xiao Zi?"
"Yes, we are indeed protecting Miss Zizi. Mr. Changsheng, how about we discuss it?"
"What to discuss?"
"The two of us have achieved great cultivation. You can give my two brothers a position in your Underworld Department. During this period, my two brothers can ensure your safety."
Hun Li's idea was to have the best of both worlds, he could not only protect Xiao Zi personally, but also use his immortality to devour the soul.
"Haha, Ningzhen Dacheng cultivation level? Are you threatening me?" Changsheng spoke and quickly sent a message to Zaizai.
"Brother, why bother talking to them? Can't we just cast soul Gu?" Hun Shuo said impatiently.
"It's now." Changsheng said suddenly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zaizai stood still, and Hun Shuo also froze in place. Although Changsheng didn't know what it meant to cast soul Gu, it was definitely not a good thing.
"What? Do you think your Soul Clan's soul is the only one who is powerful?" Changsheng said with a little pride when he saw Zaizai succeed.
"You? You guys?..."
Hun Li was not only surprised that Chang Sheng knew that they were the soul clan, he was even more surprised that the wolf cub could instantly enter Hun Shuo's soul zone.
For the human race, the place of the soul is called the sea of consciousness. For the soul clan, the sea of consciousness of the person whose body was taken away is called the soul zone.
"What are you doing? If you use your Ningzhen cultivation to suppress us, we will naturally be able to catch you. But you are the soul clan, and this body is not your original body. For Zai Zai and I, entering and exiting your soul zone is just like the front door of our own house. Same."
"Who are you?" Hun Li frowned.
"Who are we? Normal people. It seems we can renegotiate now."
"What do you want?" As he spoke, Hun Li's eyes flickered, and Chang Sheng caught it instantly.
"No, I advise you not to be impulsive. You can't enter my sea of consciousness at all, there is no doubt about it. Secondly, if you want to use your cultivation to suppress it now, I will have already entered you before you even take action. The soul zone."
"Tell me, what do you want?" Hun Li sighed helplessly.
"You two should have escaped from the soul flag by opening the space crack, right? As far as I know, the soul flag is supposed to be a weapon of the soul clan, so why did it imprison you instead?"
"Yes, we did escape from the space crack. As for the soul flag? It's a long story. In the soul-destroying battle at the end of ancient times more than three million years ago, our soul clan was the only one left to fight. There were more than a thousand people. At that time, all of us decided to die with the great power of heaven, so we started to set up the Thousand Souls Formation. But suddenly, we entered the soul flag. Hun Shuo and I also escaped six hundred years ago. . Only after I came out did I realize that my entire soul clan had long since ceased to exist.”
Hun Li sighed deeply as he spoke.
Regarding the great war at the end of ancient times that changed the entire world of cultivation, there are many records in history books, and Chang Sheng has also heard about it. But that was too far for him, so he could only read it as a story.
"The soul-devouring case that has been causing quite a stir in Tianyue City recently was your fault, right?"
"It wasn't like this before. We never swallowed more than three or four people in the same place. I don't know why Hun Shuo went crazy this time and swallowed them all. That's why they were discovered."
"Okay, you can stay with me, and at the same time you can devour the souls as you wish. However, I have the final say on who to devour. Secondly, while taking care of Xiao Zi, you must also protect Xiao Yu."
With two free bodyguards who are masters of condensation, longevity cannot be wasted.
"You really want us to stay with Miss Zi Zi? And you can also let us swallow our souls?"
"Since you come from ancient times, I won't be careless. You have been staring at me for a long time. You should know that I can swallow other people's true essence. After I swallow the true essence, my soul will be yours."
"Okay, okay. No problem, everything is at your command. Then look, where is Hun Shuo?"
The wolf cub can enter Hun Shuo's soul zone at will. Who knows what will happen inside?
"It's not enough to just promise with words. There are two masters of Ningzhen who don't know the details beside me. You two have to make me feel at ease every day, right?"
"Reliable?" Hun Li frowned and thought for a while: "Okay, the two of us are willing to hand over our soul Gu to the young master."
There is only one Soul Gu for each soul clan member. With this Soul Gu, you can control any person and can take it back at any time. At the same time, you can also voluntarily hand over your soul Gu to others and be controlled by that person.
"Zai Zai, can you come out now?"
As soon as Changsheng finished transmitting the message to Zaizai, Hun Shuo suddenly woke up, and then looked at Zaizai in horror: "Brother, she? Her?..."
But Zaizai was about to pounce forward, grinning, glaring at Hun Shuo and roaring. Chang Sheng quickly scratched Zai Zai's head and comforted him.
"I'm going to eat this old man alive. How dare he curse me with such unpleasant words." Zaizai said through the voice message.
"What unpleasant words were sung, and you are so angry?"
At this time, Hun Shuo was still in shock. She pointed at Zaizai and said to Hun Li: "This little... little... she actually swallowed a mouthful of my soul."
He has always been the only one who swallowed other people's souls, but today he actually let this wolf cub take a bite.
"Hmph, who made you scold me so harshly? If Chang Sheng hadn't told me, I would have just swallowed your entire soul." Zaizai said.
"Ah? Zaizai, can you speak now?" Changsheng asked in surprise.
"I'm so angry with this damn old man." Zaizai said again: "It was enough when we were in Xuanqing City, but I just don't want to talk about it."
"Zai Zai can talk, we have always said that." Xiao Zi floated over, scratched Zai Zai's head, and looked at Changsheng strangely.
"This damn old man actually dares to call me a little girl with no hair." Zaizai said angrily again.
Changsheng and Xiaoyu were surprised that Zaizai could speak human words, while Hun Shuo and Hun Li were even more surprised that she actually knew Hun Ying?
"Not to mention the young master's hidden secrets, everyone around here is like a hidden dragon or a crouching tiger! Hun Shuo, give the soul Gu to Young Master Changsheng."
"What? Give him the soul Gu?"
"What nonsense, hurry up. From now on, we will follow the young master to protect Xiao Zi and Miss Xiao Yu, and the young master has promised to take us to devour the souls."
"Oh, okay." Hun Shuo didn't care what you were hiding or lying about. Once he heard that he could follow the little master and have his soul swallowed up, he agreed without any hesitation.
Hun Li also happily handed over the soul Gu to Changsheng.
"Xiao Zi, can you let your two grandfathers protect you and your sister from now on?"
"Yeah, okay. Grandpa is very kind to me."
"Xiaoyu, let them live in the courtyard assigned to me by the Wuyuan."
"Old man, don't think that everything will be fine if Changsheng keeps you. I'm not done with you." Zaizai glared at Hun Shuo, still angry.
