At this time, Mei Niang deeply realized that the means she used to play in this rich and powerful mansion were simply child's play compared to those people outside. What she did was called a sneaky little fight, but what others did was called a landslide, a spectacular move that swept through the world!
The Duke of Guang's expression was unusually solemn as he said, "They're trying to kill Ying Jiuguang. Have you found out who's spreading the rumors?"
Gou Yue said, "The fastest place for news to spread is the black market. Combined with what happened at the Vitality Sect, I'm afraid that Niu Youde and the Xiahou family have something to do with it! If it weren't for the Xiahou family's interference, Niu Youde wouldn't have the power to spread the news around the world so quickly. He wouldn't even be able to control the black market. This old servant has already ordered people to investigate. However, this time, it's not like the Virtuous Assembly Hall, which relied on people to spread rumors and easily tracked them down. This time, they're secretly stuffing jade archives everywhere and leaving without a trace after throwing them down. It's more troublesome to investigate. "
The Duke of Guang's face twitched. He had just stirred up an uproar by targeting Niu Youde, and now Niu Youde had turned the tables on the Ying family even more ferociously. He reckoned that the commotion he had caused would soon be drowned out. The two of them, one after the other, each wave higher than the other. They really had a tacit understanding, and he had become the one fanning the flames. What was this?
"Such a large number of jade archives can't be produced in a short period of time. It's obvious that they've been planning this for a long time. After the incident at the Black Dragon Swamp, they must have already made preparations to deal with Ying Jiuguang! That mad dog Niu Youde must be tired of living. Ying Jiuguang would never have imagined that Niu Youde would dare to do something like this, to the point of giving himself such a huge target to be attacked! "The Duke of Guang walked to the window with his hands behind his back and said in a low voice as he looked out.
Gou Yue said, "It's not just Ying Jiuguang who didn't expect this. I'm afraid no one did. Now that I think about it, it's not surprising that Niu Youde would do something like this. He knew very well that Ying Jiuguang wouldn't let him go, so he made the first move before Ying Jiuguang could catch his breath! However, it doesn't make sense to say that the Xiahou family listens to Niu Youde's orders. It's very likely that Xiahou Ling was the one who incited them! "
The Duke of Guang Ling looked out the window and nodded slightly. "Previously, when the Xiahou Clan suffered a loss from the Ying Clan, it was strange that Xiahou Ling did not make a move. So it turns out that it's fine if he doesn't make a move, but once he does, he wants to destroy the Ying Clan. We'll have to be careful of this fellow in the future." When he turned around to give his orders, he found that Mei Niang and her daughter were still in the room. He immediately waved his hand at the two of them, signaling them to leave.
Both mother and daughter were unusually quiet when they left the house. The shock in their hearts was difficult to fade.
Guang Mei 'er, who was walking briskly with her mother, peeked at her from time to time. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Mother, did Brother Niu really do this?"
Mei Niang immediately glared at her, "What nonsense is a child spouting? This isn't something that women like us who stay at home can participate in. From today onwards, you're not allowed to go to the Netherworld Governor's Office without my permission, understand? "
"En!" Guang Mei 'er nodded her head like a chick pecking at grains. She was also a little frightened by what she had just heard. Miao Yi's image in her heart had swelled to a whole new level.
In Starry Hall, Shangguan Qing reported the truth about Gao Yan's tragic death that he had obtained from Yuan Venerate Qing.
"I knew it wasn't normal. So that's how it is …" Qing Zhu, who was sitting on a chair, nodded his head. After a moment of silence, he said, "Back then, Gao Guan once said that Niu Youde might become the second Pojun. Hmph! Now, he doesn't even look like Pojun. Instead, I think there's another person who looks a little like Pojun. "
"Uh …" Shangguan Qing was taken aback. He tried to ask, "Your Majesty, you mean …" He wasn't sure who Qing Zhu was referring to. He didn't say that he didn't know, nor did he say that he knew.
Qing Zhu said, "I think that Wang Dingchao isn't bad. Transfer him to the Yuan Venerate's office and let him know about the Yuan Venerate's identity. Let him keep an eye on the Yuan Venerate and let the Yuan Venerate understand him better. We can't let the Yuan Venerate only think that Niu Youde is reliable and let the Yuan Venerate have a comparison."
Wang Dingchao? Shangguan Qing suddenly realized who this person was. Qing Zhu had always been paying attention to this person. He had participated in the Purgatory Trial with Niu Youde in the past. Niu Youde had climbed to his current position, yet Wang Dingchao didn't seem to know how to behave properly. The position of Yu Feng's Head Town seemed like it would last forever. If it wasn't for the two words "Yu Feng", he would have lost his position a long time ago.
Shangguan Qing had just taken note of this matter when another message arrived. Before the Star Bell could put it away, it had already sent an urgent report to Qing Zhu. "Your Majesty, rumors about Ying Jiuguang have spread …" The Star Bell reported the details of the rumors.
"Those two bastards even made use of the woman I slept with. They are simply lawless!" Qing Zhu slammed the table and stood up. However, he didn't seem to be angry. Instead, he shouted, "I'm afraid that the backup at Sky Street will be coming soon. Immediately inform Pojun, Wuqu, and Sima Wentian to act according to the plan!"
"Understood!" Shangguan Qing acknowledged and quickly took out the Star Bell to contact the others.
Inside the City Guard Palace, in the attic, Yang Zhaoqing quickly walked up to Miao Yi, who was standing by the window, and reported, "The news has spread. Sky Street is in an uproar."
Miao Yi said solemnly, "Inform Long Xin to gather the remaining troops and evacuate the Nether Realm as soon as possible. Inform those in position to begin the next step of the operation! "
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing acknowledged the order.
Miao Yi also took out the Star Bell and contacted Xia Houling.
The sky was filled with starlight, and the night was dark. Inside the Forbidden Garden of Albatross Manor.
Many lanterns were hung on the branches of the towering tree. The Deacons of the various districts of Sky Street were still gathered and seated cross-legged in their original positions. The members of the various branches were also seated cross-legged at the side. After all, it wasn't a good idea to keep standing. However, they would occasionally glance at Xia Houling, who was still lying on the recliner and reading a book, not knowing what he was up to.
The Star Bells in many people's storage rings were already causing a ruckus. However, strict orders had been passed down that no one was to contact the outside world without permission. Anyone who disobeyed would be killed!
The mysterious Patriarch's bodyguard wore a gauze hat, and the mask behind the gauze glinted with a metallic luster under the light. He stared coldly at the crowd, preventing them from acting rashly.
Xia Houling took out a Star Bell, and after contacting it somewhere, he tossed the ancient book in his hand to the side. He finally rolled over and stood up. His robes were as white as snow, and coupled with his calm demeanor, he appeared noble and elegant.
Stepping away from the recliner, Xia Houling nodded at Wei Shu. Wei Shu immediately transmitted his voice to Han Dong beside him.
Soon, the Deacons of the Sky Street district all took out their Star Bells to contact the outside world.
Xia Houling walked to the side of the ancient zither. Facing the crowd, he shook the hem of his long robe and sat cross-legged in front of the zither. His fingers moved up and down on the strings.
"Dong … dong … dong … dong …" The sound of the zither broke the tranquility of the night, ushering in a gust of evening wind that swayed the lanterns hanging on the branches. Fallen leaves fluttered down.
The sound of the zither gradually became intense. Those who understood the zither's melody gradually heard the hidden murderous intent of a powerful army. Xia Houling was very engrossed in playing the zither.
The members of the various branches who were familiar with Xia Houling found that today, Xia Houling had a different kind of refined aura of power, as if he was really sitting in the clouds.
In the Ghost City, the personnel of the Headquarter Office were scattered around the streets of the Ghost City, shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Listen up, everyone. Rumors, they're all rumors!"
"There's no such thing! Don't spread rumors anymore. This matter has nothing to do with our Governor. "
"Just pass by. Is there any justice in this world? Someone is framing our Governor."
"It's very obvious. Anyone with a little brain can see that someone is framing Heavenly King Ying and wants to shift the blame to our Governor!"
"Our Governor specially asked us to solemnly declare that this matter has absolutely nothing to do with our Governor."
A shouting junior general suddenly took out the Star Bell and listened for a while. Immediately, he transmitted his voice to his colleague next to him, "The Great Commander has ordered everyone to gather immediately. Let's go!"
Soon, the people of the Headquarter Office who were shouting around the streets of the Ghost City quickly disappeared, leaving only discussions everywhere.
In the Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness, Cao Man, who was holding the coffin by the window with both hands, stared at the lights of the Ghost City with a solemn expression.
"Boss!" There was a knock on the door, accompanied by the voice of Qi Jue. Cao Man shouted, "Come in!"
Qi Jue pushed the door in and closed it. He quickly came behind Cao Man and said with cupped hands, "Boss, the things in the Ghost City and the black market have been distributed. The people of the Headquarter Office are shouting everywhere in the Ghost City to prove Niu Youde's innocence! "
"Innocence? My ass! If this matter has nothing to do with Niu Youde, I'll cut off my head! Both sides are shouting and singing. I don't know whether we are stupid or the second brother is crazy? What does the second brother want to do? Does he want to destroy the Ying Family with just some rumors? If anything goes wrong, let the second brother explain himself to the brothers! " Cao Man put down his hands and sighed. He turned around and said in a deep voice, "To prevent the other party from counterattacking, immediately inform the people of the black market to retreat. We can't afford to go crazy with the second brother!"
"Yes!" Qi Jue replied.
Cao Man strode out of the room. The entire Pavilion of Faith and Righteousness was soon emptied.
The forty thousand soldiers of the Netherworld did not all enter Heaven's Avenue. The people who entered Heaven's Avenue were only part of the network. There were still some people who acted as the relay of information. Otherwise, Yang Zhaoqing alone would not be able to contact everyone in Heaven's Avenue.
On a barren planet, Yuan Gong sat on a rock and stared at the stars. He was mumbling to himself, but no one knew what he was mumbling. In short, he was aware of the rumors that were spreading everywhere.
Jade Buddha Temple, in the middle of a clear lake in a valley, two naked bodies.
Ba Jie was half submerged in the water and half sprawled on a rock by the shore. Yu Luocha was massaging his back from behind. After nagging for a while, she poked the back of Ba Jie's bald head and said, "I say, aren't you worried about Big Brother at all? Lord Guang is clearly targeting Big Brother by spreading these rumors. "
"Hah! Why are you worried about this? Big Brother knows him too well. What's the big deal about splashing some dirty water on him? He's someone who's bathed in filthy words and has a reputation for being a thief. Why would he care about this? He might even use these rumors to fight back. " Ba Jie snorted with his eyes closed. He looked like he didn't care at all, secretly laughing at Yu Luocha for not knowing that Big Brother was once famous in the small world as a 'thief Miao'.
"What do you mean by a reputation for being a thief? Is that how you talk about your own Big Brother? The problem is, this might very well be a prelude to Lord Guang making a move against Big Brother … "Before Yu Luocha could finish, she took out a star bell and contacted it somewhere. Then, her expression changed drastically. She poked Ba Jie's head and said," Something's wrong. Big Brother is also spreading rumors all over the world. "
Ba Jie chuckled and turned back with a smile. "I was right, wasn't I? He's using rumors to fight back."
