As it turns out, with Cao Man's help, the matter of exchanging territories isn't a problem at all. After the Ghost City's main government office reported their wishes to the Heavenly Palace, they received a reply that they didn't refuse, they said that they would consider it.
Some things might be a big deal to some people, but to someone at the level of Heaven Empress, it was just a matter of changing a house. As long as the Buddha Realm didn't have any objections, it was fine. Actually, as long as she opened her mouth, the Buddha Realm wouldn't reject her. It was just a matter of changing residences. The Heaven Empress' face far exceeded the value of this.
A few days later, Miao Yi received news from Master Ji Kong of the Kṣitigarbha Temple, indicating that he could make the exchange and asked when would be convenient.
Was there a need for more time? I'll change it immediately! This danger? He didn't want to stay in this room for another day.
Miao Yi left behind a portion of the staff to hand over the handover, then took down the signboard of the Manor Headquarter and led his troops straight to the Kṣitigarbha Temple.
Silent Void, who was meeting him, had a helpless look on his face. What was this? There was no other way. The higher-ups had already given the order. They had to pack up and leave.
"Wizard, you forgot to take something."
Just as Ji Kong was about to leave with his troops, Miao Yi called out to him.
Master Silence turned around in shock. Standing at the door, Miao Yi raised his hand and pointed at the signboard on the lintel with a smile.
Master Silent Void didn't know whether to laugh or cry. With a wave of his sleeve, he invoked his arts and sucked the signboard over. He put it away and clasped his hands in thanks to Miao Yi.
"Hang up the signboard." Miao Yi tilted his head and called out to Xu Tangran. Xu Tangran immediately did as he was told. Miao Yi then cupped his fists towards Ji Kong and said, "Forgive me for not seeing you off!"
As he watched Ji Kong leave, Miao Yi's expression gradually turned strange. He wondered how Ji Kong would react when he saw the tattered state of the residence.
"Sir, it's already hung up. What do you think?" Xu Tangran asked from the side to take a closer look.
Miao Yi turned around and lifted his head to take a look. He nodded, then pointed to the wall outside and said, "Put up the notice of the Kṣitigarbha Temple's relocation. That way, we can prevent uninformed Buddhist disciples from entering the wrong place."
"Yes! I'll do it right away. "Xu Tangran immediately agreed.
Miao Yi walked inside with his hands behind his back. "Pass down my order. Search every corner of the house carefully. Don't leave any clues behind."
"Yes!" Yang Zhaoqing immediately led his men to execute the order.
Miao Yi then slowly walked up the stairs and arrived at the Buddhist hall. Mei Ji and Yu Luocha had met each other here. Thinking about it, she sighed with emotion. Not long ago, they had been guests, but because of her efforts, she had become the masters of this place.
As for the Buddha statues left here … Miao Yi didn't plan on eradicating them. There were Buddhist imprints everywhere, and it would be troublesome to deal with them.
But overall, the conditions here were much better than the original territory, although the original territory was not bad.
Meanwhile, Master Silent Void, who had moved into the Governor's Mansion, was standing in the house, dumbfounded. He was stunned and dumbfounded. Slowly, he looked around again and again, thinking that his eyes were playing tricks on him. Could it be an illusion created by some kind of spell?
It looked fine on the outside, but how did it become like this on the inside? He had been here before, but it wasn't like this. The walls, the pillars, and the beams all looked like they were going to collapse at any time. People who came here for the first time definitely didn't dare to walk too loudly. It was quite scary. How did it become like this?
The other Buddhist disciples who had finished cleaning up and preparing to move in were all shocked. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
After all, not everyone had the opportunity to come to the Governor's Mansion all the time. There weren't many who had seen the inside of the Governor's Mansion. It was truly unbelievable. So the living conditions of the people in the Governor's Mansion were so dangerous. No wonder they had to switch places with us.
Master Silent Void touched the pillar where his life hung by a thread. After confirming that it wasn't an illusion, his face alternated between red and white, gradually revealing an angry expression. He turned around and wanted to demand an explanation from Miao Yi. But in the end, he suppressed it and tried his best to calm himself down. He secretly advised himself not to be impulsive.
First of all, Niu Youde was a famous general on the battlefield. His battle record was very impressive, and he was extremely good at fighting. His subordinates were all elite troops given by the Kou family. If they were to fight, they might not be Niu Youde's match. Secondly, Niu Youde was famous for being a hothead. What wouldn't he do? Even if he didn't want to fight and just went to reason with him, that guy might not. Moreover, he suspected that Niu Youde was deliberately taking revenge on him. He was purposely looking for trouble. After setting him up twice in a row, Niu Youde threatened to destroy his Ksitigarbha Temple last time. Who would have thought that he would make a move here? He was too vicious!
Most importantly, if he took the initiative to look for him and caused a dispute between the Buddha Realm and the Heavenly Court, he really couldn't bear the responsibility.
But this … he couldn't bear to turn around and look at the situation around him. How could he live here?! What if it collapsed after two days?
So he took out the Star Bell. He had to complain about this!
When the Buddha Realm received the message from Master Silent Void, they were also a little doubtful. No matter how much of a bastard Niu Youde was, he wouldn't do such a thing, right? However, after repeated verification, they were right. That Niu Youde really did such a thing.
Of course, such a small matter wouldn't cause him to fall out with the Heavenly Court. But they couldn't treat them like fools. They still reminded the Heavenly Empress to not do it again!
When the Heavenly Palace received the news from the Western Paradise Realm, they were also a little doubtful. They didn't ask Miao Yi, but asked the Pavilion of Loyalty and Justice what they were thinking. Did they know about this beforehand and had other plans? Why didn't they inform them beforehand? Now they didn't even know how to return to the Buddha Realm.
At least the Heavenly Empress, Xiahou Chengyu thought that Cao Man had other plans. Otherwise, she wouldn't have helped Niu Youde make the call. In reality, the Xiahou Family wouldn't tell her many things they were secretly doing. She knew about it, but she couldn't do anything about it. So she could only express her dissatisfaction to Cao Man tactfully.
When Cao Man received the news, he also couldn't believe it. That couldn't be, right? But he really didn't know about it. The key was that after the Phantom City's main town manor's people were transferred away, they were all replaced by the Kou Family's people. People outside didn't know what was going on inside.
So a small matter like this made Cao Man, the owner of the Pavilion of Loyalty and Justice, come out personally. Cao Man personally brought a few people to the 'New Kṣitigarbha Temple'. They said they were here to visit, but in reality, they were here to investigate.
Venerable Silent Void naturally understood Cao Man's position in the Phantom City. He was the actual ruler of the Phantom City, so he personally came out to welcome him.
"Owner Cao's presence brings light to our humble temple." Silent Void put his palms together and turned to welcome him.
The outside looked good, there didn't seem to be any problems!
Standing at the door, Cao Man looked around, nodded, and followed in with his hands behind his back.
After entering, they saw the crumbling condition of the house. Cao Man and the others subconsciously lightened their footsteps. They looked at each other speechlessly, then looked up at the roof. They really didn't know when it would collapse. Was this even habitable?
After seeing it with her own eyes, Cao Man finally believed how much Niu Youde had gone overboard. He dared to do such an immoral thing that harmed others without benefiting himself. Not only did he not gain anything, he even offended others. He was simply crazy! He asked, "Master, are you preparing to exchange it back?" He was actually looking forward to seeing Miao Yi suffer from his own actions.
Cao Fengchi, who followed along, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Birds of a feather really flock together. No wonder he was Big Brother's only friend when he was alive. What kind of behavior was this?
Silent Void sighed. "The sect sent a message. They asked us to let it go for the sake of the Heavenly Empress, and to let us repair and reinforce it. Of course, if Master Cao is willing to let the Ksitigarbha Temple build a new temple at the corner of the phantom market, I will be eternally grateful. "
"Haha!" Cao Man rubbed his nose and smiled. "It's a pity to abandon the center of the phantom market. It's better to reinforce it." This wasn't a lie. If this place really collapsed, it would be a waste. The house that housed so many people would take up a lot of space!
He was only here to see if the situation was true. He didn't plan to stay for long.
After leaving the new Ksitigarbha Temple, Cao Man brought his people straight to the new headquarters. He wanted to settle the score with Miao Yi. How dare he use him, making him unable to answer to the Heavenly Empress. However, halfway there, he turned back to the Pavilion of Faith. If they really came looking for him, what could he do to Miao Yi? Teach him a lesson? He could still pretend to be ignorant when he returned, but if they really came looking for him, he would have to give him an explanation!
"You've changed headquarters?"
Inside the temporary Kou King's manor, Kou Lingxu was a little surprised when he received the report.
This matter couldn't be hidden from him. The Kou Clan's people in the phantom market hadn't returned yet.
Kou Zheng said, "I'm curious as well. I saw how badly he defeated the headquarters. Why would the Ksitigarbha Temple agree to a swap?"
A few days later, they received information from the Buddha Realm. They wouldn't help Miao Yi hide the fact that he had tricked the Ksitigarbha Temple.
The Kou Clan was speechless. They thought Miao Yi had used some method to negotiate with the Buddha Realm. It turned out he was just a scam!
Kou Lingxu was silent for a while, then sighed. "This guy really doesn't know when to stop! I hope he knows what's good for him! "
If even the Kou Clan knew about this, then the Sky Palace Hall was even more so.
After hearing the news, Master Qing made a trip to the Celestial Valley Palace to visit the pregnant Heavenly Empress. Of course, he also wanted to ask about the phantom market headquarters.
After coming out of the Celestial Valley Palace, Master Qing glanced at Shangguan Qing, who was tailing him. He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "Speaking of which, Chengyu seems to be a little angry! Swapping territories? How dare that monkey think of something like that. He's got guts to offend the Xiahou Clan in the phantom market. But that's interesting. He actually tore down the headquarters until it was on the verge of collapse, and then immediately found someone else to replace it with a better one. There really is a sucker willing to take it over. It's not a bad deal. " He couldn't help but chuckle as he said this. Somehow, knowing that Miao Yi had even tricked the Xiahou Clan, he actually felt a pang of pleasure in his heart.
Shangguan Qing smiled, but his expression was hesitant, as if he had something to say.
Master Qing glanced at him. It was probably something that made him unhappy, so he scoffed, "Say it."
