Volume Five Chapter 77 Red Light City
Unlike the Wind Wolf Territory and the Black Water Territory, the Red Light Territory is not governed by divided areas.
The headquarters of the eight major families are all established in Hongguang City, and other places are jointly managed by the eight major families.
Of course, the city lords of all large and small cities are appointed by the eight major families, and the minority obeys the majority. If five families propose to replace the city lord of a certain city, the other three families can only accept it.
Since the eight major families all have the same surname, almost all the city lords of the big and small cities are not from the eight major families. This is also considered to balance the power of the eight major families.
There are tens of thousands of large and small cities in the Red Light Region, and each city manages a varying number of resource production areas. However, most of their income every year must be handed over to Red Light City, which is divided equally among the eight major families.
Even so, the city lord of each city still holds a high position of power and huge profits.
It can also be seen from this that how powerful the eight major families are. There is no family that is not working hard to join the eight major families. This also makes the family summit held every ten years even more intense and undercurrent.
The eight major families do not dare to slack off. There are also overt and covert struggles among them, and they must be cautious to maintain their status. The Yuwen family a hundred years ago was a bloody lesson.
At that time, the Xiang family suddenly rose up and pushed the Yuwen family out of the ranks of the eight major families. It is still a mystery. No one can figure out how the Yuwen family could be replaced by the Xiang family so easily.
Things like the Feng family relying on the Yuwen family at all costs a hundred years ago are not uncommon now.
Generally speaking, powerful families do not directly show their cards, but choose to unite with one or more of the eight major families, and then make a splash at the family summit and replace them with force.
The same is naturally true for the Xiang family, but almost no one knows which family or families among the eight major families are supporting the Xiang family.
Like the Feng family at that time, what they did was not wrong for the benefit of the family. They could only blame their bad luck and fell in love with the Yuwen family who was listed as a target by the Xiang family.
However, from a clear perspective, the Yuwen family at that time was not ranked at the bottom in terms of strength. Who could have imagined that such a change would occur?
After the Xiang family replaced the Yuwen family, they showed their sharpness. In the following summits, they were very strong. When faced with challenges, the family could easily defeat them.
Now, among the eight major families, the Xiang family can even rank among the top three in terms of strength.
The defeat of the Yuwen family was not unjust!
The Feng family’s defeat was not unjust!
However, before the Yuwen family retreated to Hongguang City, the Feng family encountered the tragedy of being wiped out. Such a thing had never happened before.
Regarding this tragedy, not only Fairy Xuan Shuang investigated it with all her heart, but even the eight major families were secretly investigating, and the Xiang family also contributed a lot.
Because this runs counter to the purpose of the eight major families in governing the world, it also slaps them hard in the face.
However, neither Fairy Xuanshuang nor the eight major families could find any clues, so in the end they had to let it fade away slowly.
In the past hundred years, such a thing has not happened again, and it has gradually been forgotten.
In any case, if Xiang Jia had not appeared, the Yuwen family would not have been defeated, and the Feng family would not have been destroyed. There will always be people who unknowingly blame Xiang Jia for this tragedy, but Xiang Jia is just too strong. , people are only afraid and dare not talk nonsense.
There are many families who know that the Feng family tragedy has no direct relationship with the Xiang family, but they will not take the initiative to clarify it for them, and they cannot clarify it.
clear.
As for the Xiang family's sparing no effort to attack the Yuwen family, with the intention of killing them all, this is understandable. Who makes the Yuwen family not take the initiative to withdraw from Red Light City!
This is also the consensus of the eight major families. Once defeated, they must withdraw from Hongguang City. The Yuwen family is stubbornly resisting. As the Xiang family who defeated them, should they still wait for them to bite back?
There are not only eight major families in Hongguang City. As long as they are not involved in the changes of the eight major families, no one will do anything inappropriate to them.
As the saying goes, if you want to be attached to a certain family and have the ability to be attached to a certain family, you must be mentally prepared like the Feng family. After all, the master has to leave, so how can you, a follower, stay?
A hundred years ago, the Feng family had no intention of leaving, and the Xiang family would not take them seriously. However, such a tragic annihilation still occurred. It seems that only the murderer knows the truth behind it.
…
Cuimingxuan.
This is a brothel!
There are more than one similar place in Hongguang City, but Cuimingxuan is one of the rare gold-selling places with eight major families behind it.
Have money and be willful! After saying goodbye to Feng Xiu and Xiang Yan, Bai Fei made some inquiries and then entered Cuimingxuan. His boldness in spending a lot of money made the madam and other girls smile.
After getting off the battleship, Xiang Yan invited Bai Fei to visit Xiang's home, but he declined politely. Feng Xiu didn't say anything. She could only see from her eyebrows that she was a little disappointed, but she hid it well.
The less trouble, the better!
Until now, the Xiang family has not gotten rid of the suspicion. In any case, Feng Hanshuang's experience is inseparable from the rise of the Xiang family. Naturally, Bai Fei has no intention of dealing with the Xiang family. Besides, he doesn't want to be in Hongguang City. If you stay for a long time, you have to go to the Mang Cang Territory after staying for two or three days.
Maybe, after everything is settled, he will come to Red Light City to try his luck again.
However, the century-old tragedy of the Feng family has been gradually forgotten until now. It is very difficult to find any clues.
…
Just one song.
Bai Fei rewarded the girls heavily and drove them all away.
After closing his eyes and concentrating for a while, he was about to release his powerful spiritual thoughts when his eyes suddenly flickered, and then, his spiritual thoughts entered the Shen Tian Ring.
Since he got the transformed elixir, which was the white rabbit, due to a series of encounters, he really rarely had the chance to care about it. He only observed its condition from time to time when he was free.
There was also the elixir in the cauldron. Because the cauldron was still warm, and the elixirs were obviously not yet fully mature, he had no way to study what elixirs they were.
The white rabbit was really alive and kicking, jumping up and down in the space of Shentian Ring!
Bai Fei was worried about it messing up things at first, but later he found that besides absorbing the aura of the Shentianjie space intoxicatedly, it was actually quite peaceful, so he felt relieved.
There is abundant spiritual energy in the Shentian Ring, and Bai Fei doesn't know how to connect with the heavenly realm and transform the spiritual energy into immortal energy. However, depending on the situation, the white rabbit seems to enjoy absorbing the spiritual energy more.
At this time, Bai Fei was surprised that he couldn't find the shadow of White Rabbit!
The Shentian Ring has been completely refined by him and has become part of his ocean of consciousness. As long as he uses his spiritual thoughts, he can effortlessly see the situation in the Shentian Ring.
However, he couldn't find the white rabbit!
Did it escape? This is simply impossible!
Um?
Bai Fei noticed something strange.
The rolling spiritual energy gathers towards one place from time to time, and that place is where the alchemy furnace is.
When his spiritual thoughts entered the cauldron, Bai Fei discovered that the heat inside had been replaced by cold air, and all the elixirs had disappeared. What he saw was a huge cocoon.
Rich spiritual energy rolled in, and was finally absorbed by the giant cocoon, which seemed to contain fluctuations of life.
However, Bai Fei's spiritual thoughts could not penetrate the giant cocoon, which surprised him even more.
Obviously, those unknown pills had been given to Huo Huo by the white rabbit, and it was now in the giant cocoon.
Not only was Bai Fei not angry, he was actually a little excited.
The transformation of the elixir is a creation that conquers the world and is rare to encounter in millions of years.
The white rabbit was transformed from the elixir. Now it has formed a cocoon after eating those elixirs, and it is watered by such a strong spiritual energy. I really don't know what changes will happen to it?
The quality of those elixirs must not be that high. Although Bai Fei was a little regretful, seeing Bai Tu like this, he felt a little more hopeful.
It just depends on the situation, this is a very long process, and he can't provide much help, he can only wait patiently.
…
Withdrawing his spiritual thoughts, Bai Fei continued what he wanted to do before.
The eight major families gathered in Hongguang City, and there were naturally many strong ones. But they were only seventh-level immortals, so how could they detect the prying eyes of Bai Fei's spiritual thoughts, which were comparable to those of fifth-level immortals?
Under this powerful spiritual thought, no secrets or plots can be hidden. Not even a brick can hide it.
Soon, under the cover of his spiritual thoughts, Bai Fei found a monk hiding in a corner.
"What is this man doing here?"
Bai Fei frowned. He observed carefully for a while, but found that the man's expression was very calm. He didn't seem to be dangerous, so he didn't go into details.
He first went to Xiang's house and explored it, but found nothing of value.
In a certain room, Xiang Yan was dressing up in front of the mirror.
What surprised Bai Fei was that Feng Xiu was not found in the entire Xiang family.
Seemingly feeling something, Bai Fei returned to the place where he had just found the male cultivator.
The male cultivator hid better.
At this moment, Feng Xiu came from a distance. She didn't seem to know that someone was hiding nearby. She lowered her head slightly and walked over in a hurry.
After a while, the male cultivator quietly followed her.
After making sure that Feng Xiu didn't know that he was being followed, Bai Fei thought, and the male cultivator suddenly stopped. He felt as if he had just been in a trance, as if he had forgotten something important.
Then, the male cultivator shook his head, turned around and left.
Feng Xiu entered a small courtyard and walked straight towards a house.
"Grandma," she called.
Behind the curtain, there was an old lady sitting, her face full of wrinkles and her cultivation was not high.
She waved to Feng Xiu, who immediately walked behind the curtain.
Bai Fei listened to Feng Xiu talking about what he had seen and heard during his trip. The old lady said nothing. She didn't speak until Feng Xiu finished speaking, and she just talked about some household matters.
It seems like this is Feng Xiu’s home!
Seeing that the two of them didn't say what he wanted to hear, Bai Fei slowly withdrew his spiritual thoughts.
After that, he visited the other seven major families, but failed to find out any valuable secrets.
It seems that some things cannot be rushed!
Thinking about it, Bai Fei withdrew his spiritual thoughts and continued to close his eyes to rest.
