Shen Hao still remembered the scene when Nie Yun was chased and ran to his side to take refuge.
At that time, Nie Yun was quite embarrassed and his injuries were not serious. When asked, he said that he had been chased all the way from the City of Fushou by the disciples of the Blood Clothes Sect. The reason was just because Nie Yun broke into the black prison in an attempt to save Zhao Zhiyuan, who was suffering in the black prison at that time.
According to Nie Yun and Shen Hao's understanding, the place where Lingxiao Palace can send people to the Black Prison is naturally the territory of Lingxiao Palace, and the reason why the Xueyi Sect interferes is because Lingxiao Palace may be attached to the Xueyi Sect for protection. This The logic also makes sense.
But now according to Chu Linxiang, the Black Prison is not the territory of Lingxiao Palace at all, and Lingxiao Palace can only be regarded as the jailer of the Black Prison.
"Who is the actual owner of the Black Prison? The Blood Clothes Sect?" Shen Hao curiously asked the person in his arms.
"Well, it belongs to the Blood Clothes Sect, but that's not all. To be precise, the Black Prison is a place jointly controlled by the three leaders of the City of Death. The outermost areas are controlled by their respective personnel. Lingxiao Palace is the guard assigned by the Blood Clothes Sect, but sometimes He will also take advantage of his position to use the outer corners of the Black Prison as an execution ground to punish his own disciples."
"The outermost periphery? So there is another world inside the black prison?"
"Of course. You don't know what is most famous about the City of Death, right? Isn't it the underground palace? There is also an underground palace under the Black Prison, but I don't know the details."
Is there an underground palace under the Black Prison? And it’s still the area covered by the three leaders?
Afterwards, Chu Linxiang told Shen Hao some of the internal conditions of Lingxiao Palace and what she knew about the overall strength of Lingxiao Palace.
For example, there are several elders under the palace lord of Lingxiao Palace. These elders are not like the elders in the sects in the old Jing Dynasty. He is responsible for all aspects of the main affairs, but is a little more leisurely than the deacon.
In addition, the overall strength of Lingxiao Palace is not strong. It is said that only one of the elders is at the Xuanhai realm, and the rest, such as Li Ce and Zhou Baixu, are only at the lower end of the Yuandan realm.
Moreover, Lingxiao Palace's methods, whether it is music cultivation or charm, its offensive and defensive capabilities are more "cunning", and lacks the strength to confront others head-on.
In other words, the apparent strength of Lingxiao Palace was inferior to some of the third-rate sects in the old Jing Dynasty. It is far inferior to the forces that can be named in Fusui City, so it is no wonder that they have become dependent on the Blood Clothes Sect. Perhaps if it weren't for Lingxiao Palace's unique magic inheritance, they wouldn't even be qualified to rely on the Blood Clothes Sect.
In addition, the relationship between Yueying Tower and Lingxiao Palace is not a makeshift relationship like Shen Hao thought before, but is much deeper. Even strictly speaking, Yueying Tower comes from the Lingxiao Palace lineage, but it is more incomplete, and the inheritance is basically gone. There are just a few scattered people, but they don't want to merge with the lineage headed by Wen Peng. The two sides are in a "same situation" Source but not the same heart” state.
Shen Hao understands a truth: It is easy to separate companies but difficult to merge them.
Although they are weaker after separation, they each have their own rights to control them. Even if this right seems like that to outsiders, the parties involved will definitely hold on to this right and refuse to let it go. As time goes by, who will still be of the same mind? Even this "heart" has never been synchronized from the beginning.
Therefore, Yueying Tower and Lingxiao Palace have the same origin, but they are not so harmonious with each other. They just collude with each other to form a community of interests in order to obtain better rights to survive under the Xueyi Sect.
With this kind of relationship, Shen Hao understood why Li Ce and Zhou Baixu showed no concern for Yueying Tower when they came to him for the second time. It turned out that they wanted the lost Yueying Tower to die quickly in exchange for "Xuan Mei Shu" 》To make the strength of Lingxiao Palace skyrocket, Lingxiao Palace still needs to hook up with Yueyinglou, who seems to be inseparable from me?
Seeing that Shen Hao did not continue to ask, Chu Linxiang secretly enjoyed herself. She could finally have a good rest. She huddled in his arms and quickly fell asleep.
And Shen Hao was thinking about the news he got from Lingxiao Palace today.
He took out a total of two copies of the "Xuan Mei Technique" and handed them to the other party. It may seem small, but in fact, the gains from Lingxiao Palace are definitely greater than last time. Because the key points given last time were almost all at the beginning of the chapter, which were relatively simple, but the two tips given this time were no longer at the beginning of the chapter, but began to involve the mysterious and difficult parts of "Xuan Mei Shu".
It can be said that the key that Shen Hao came up with this time is the beginning of the power of "Xuan Mei Shu".
Li Ce and Zhou Baixu used two things in exchange. The first is part of the information on the Yueying Tower, which not only includes the current distribution of some high-level officials and high-level spies within the Jingjiu Dynasty, but also its role as a channel for intelligence operations, involving many people even from the Jingjiu Dynasty. Official.
Secondly, Li Ce and Zhou Baixu had indeed understood Shen Hao's previous hints, and selected an information point in the city that interested him in exchange for it. That is the information related to Zhengyang Sect.
Regarding the Zhengyang Sect, Shen Hao has always ranked it at the top of his list.
It was because the Zhengyang Sect, a group of pseudo-evil monks, smuggled large quantities of materials to the barbarians in the Jingji Dynasty, and joined forces with Yang Yansi and Yang Wenguang in an attempt to disrupt the Jingji Dynasty and intercept Hu Hu in the imperial examination. At the same time, the "Operation Jingxi" that year was also instigated by these pseudo-evil monks.
Being able to obtain the information about Zhengyang Sect this time can be regarded as meeting Shen Hao's expectations.
It is true that this group of pseudo-evil monks in Zhengyang Sect is much harder to detect than the real evil monks. They can even mix openly among some casual cultivators, even in some unpopular sects and Jingjiu yamen. Hide. This is also beyond Shen Hao's previous understanding of pseudo-evil monks.
In terms of value, the information obtained this time is definitely of great importance to Shen Hao and the Black Flag Battalion.
If you want to kill the enemy, you must know what the enemy is made of. You can't just stab the enemy with a knife blindly. What's the use of stabbing the enemy if he wears chain armor? Instead, the opponent will seize the opportunity and cut off half of his head with a backhand knife.
With this information, not only can Yueyinglou's files take a big step forward and create conditions for closing the network in the future, but also we can have a better understanding of the large network that the evil monks have laid in the old Jing Dynasty for so many years. .
There is something interesting about this. That is, these pseudo-evil monks of the Zhengyang Sect do not think that they are evil monks. They just think that their cultivation methods are "alternative" and "unpopular".
Even Shen Hao was wondering whether those casual cultivators and officials from the Jing Dynasty who had been dragged down knew that they had been branded as evil cultivators?
