In the past two years, in order to develop the Ghost Villa, there has indeed been a large-scale killing spree, which has turned the entire imperial city into a bloody storm and put everyone in danger.
Among them, the most eye-catching one is the "Zhenxi Marquis Mansion Massacre Case". An entire Marquis Mansion, with thousands of residents, were beheaded and the streets were stained with blood.
This is the battle that made Ghost Villa famous.
After this battle, Ghost Villa completely came into everyone's sight, and no major forces in the imperial city noticed it.
Murong Hua said: "If you want to become stronger, you must step on the bones of others. If Ghost Villa wants to develop, it will definitely cause killing, but it will never be excessive killing.
.I have already established laws and regulations to prohibit the indiscriminate killing of innocent people."
"The decision to massacre the Zhenxihou Mansion was made after many discussions and weighing the pros and cons with me, Zuohu Dharma King, and the Ghost Messenger. First of all: the Zhenxihou Mansion has long since declined, and its power is not strong. The current power of Netherworld Villa is
, we can definitely take it down.”
"Secondly, Ghost Villa has just been established. If you want to gain status, you must establish your authority. Using a prince's mansion to do it is the best way."
"Thirdly, the background of the Zhenxi Hou Mansion is not pure. Using his status as a prince, he secretly bought and sold girls, forced girls into prostitution, and established a large-scale underground slave trading market in Huangcheng, which killed many unscrupulous people.
Of course, this slave trading market now belongs to our Netherworld Villa. Some of the slaves who were forcibly captured were trained as warriors, and some were let go."
Ning Xiaochuan nodded and said: "You will be responsible for the affairs of Netherworld Villa. I am afraid I will stay in the Imperial City for a long time and come here often. When I come back this time, I will also bring it back to Yue Wuyang
A great gift.”
"Oh, what kind of gift?" Murong Hua suddenly became interested.
Ning Xiaochuan smiled and said: "Secret"
In the early morning, a splendid car parked outside the Yunzhonghou Mansion.
This large cart was pulled here by a green deer. There was no driver, but there was a large cloudwood coffin with sacrificial inscriptions on it and an incense burner placed on it.
Many soldiers in armor were surrounding the cart.
"Who is so bold as to send the coffin to the Yunzhong Hou Mansion?"
"Lin Zi, go and open the coffin and take a look."
A slightly thin young sergeant walked carefully to the coffin and moved the lid of the coffin away. His legs were weak with fear and he said: "There... there is a corpse inside..."
The expressions of the surrounding sergeants changed slightly. Among them, a highly skilled warrior stepped forward and blew away the coffin lid with one palm. The corpse was completely exposed in front of everyone.
"Whose body is this? Why is it parked outside Yunzhonghou Mansion?"
"Look, there is a word on the bottom of the coffin. Xiao...Cheng... Who is Xiao Cheng in the coffin?"
The expression of the warrior with a high level of cultivation changed greatly. He quickly walked to the coffin, carefully identified the body in the coffin, and after confirming the identity of the body, he immediately rushed into the Yunzhong Hou Mansion.
Something big happened
Some sergeants who had heard the name "Xiao Cheng" were very frightened and could foresee that a big earthquake was going to happen in the Yunzhong Marquis Mansion.
When Xiao Cheng's body was transported to Yunzhonghou Mansion, Ning Xiaochuan also returned to Jiangehou Mansion.
Ning Xiaochuan's return naturally caused quite a stir in the Jiangehou Mansion, because many people knew that Ning Xiaochuan was already the true heir to the Jiangehou Mansion and the future Marquis.
A large group of servants and maids came out to greet him, and they welcomed him into the Marquis' Mansion.
Before Ning Xiaochuan's buttocks got hot, a maid came to report: "Master, there is a girl named Duanmu outside who wants to see you, claiming to be your friend."
"I'll go out and see her myself."
In order to deal with Xiao Cheng, Ning Xiaochuan asked Duanmu Ling'er to stay in Bailong City temporarily. Later, Ning Xiaochuan went after Xiao Cheng, so he didn't worry about falling in love with her for the time being.
Duanmu Ling'er stood outside the gate of the Hou's Mansion, with her hands behind her back and a bamboo hat on her head, staring at the magnificent gate of the Hou's Mansion, thinking to herself, she was indeed worthy of being a noble of the imperial court, and the mansion was comparable to the Demon Sect's main hall.
Ning Xiaochuan walked out of the door, smiled apologetically at Duanmu Ling'er, and said, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm just looking at how good this imperial city is? Young Master Ning is actually asked to abandon his beautiful cousin and rush after her without stopping. However, the imperial city is really prosperous and full of beauties." Duanmu Ling'er smiled.
road.
Ning Xiaochuan said: "Actually, I know that with Miss Duanmu's wisdom, it is quite easy to find the Jiangehou Mansion."
Duanmu Ling'er stopped arguing with Ning Xiaochuan and said, "Don't you invite me in?"
"Please come in."
Ning Xiaochuan was quite a gentleman and invited Duanmu Ling'er into the Marquis Mansion and placed her in the small courtyard where Ning Xiner once lived.
Not long after, the old Marquis came back from the Imperial Palace and walked into the Jiange Marquis Mansion. He was in a good mood and laughed: "What retribution."
Uncle Ji went up to meet him and said with a smile: "Master Hou, what happy event have you encountered?"
"The eldest disciple of Yue Wuyang was killed by someone from the Demon Sect. Others also sent the body to the gate of Yunzhonghou Mansion. During the morning court, this matter spread. Didn't you see it?
Yue Wuyang's expression at that time was as if his son had died." The old Marquis was naturally quite happy, but he almost didn't hold a banquet to celebrate.
Xiao Cheng is not an ordinary person, his identity is quite special. He is an important chess piece arranged by Yue Wuyang in the Emperor's Academy. He helps Yue Wuyang win people's hearts, gather geniuses, and manage the Yunzhong Alliance.
It can be said that the value of Xiao Cheng is comparable to that of a general commanding a million troops.
Once Xiao Cheng dies, Yue Wuyang's power in the Emperor's Academy will soon be disintegrated. This is foreseeable.
Therefore, this is a great happy event for the Jiange Hou Mansion and the Da Jinpeng Prince Mansion. There is no celebration without gongs and drums, which is already a great honor to Yue Wuyang.
Ji Bo smiled and said: "Tell Mr. Hou another happy news, Master Ning is back."
The old Marquis immediately put away his smile, pondered for a moment, and said: "The news of the young master's return will be blocked immediately and no one will be allowed to spread it. In addition, let him come to see me immediately. I will wait for him in the study."
The reason why Yue Wuyang was sure that Xiao Cheng died at the hands of the master of the Demon Sect was because the blood energy in Xiao Cheng's body was sucked out, which was very similar to the symptoms of being devoured by the Blood-devouring Demonic Art.
Of course, Ning Xiaochuan's "Beiming Magic" can also swallow up the blood of warriors. It's just that Ning Xiaochuan's martial arts cultivation is too different from Xiao Cheng's, so no one connected this matter to Ning Xiaochuan.
After the old marquis learned about Ning Xiaochuan's return to Jiangehou Mansion, he immediately became alert and felt that this incident might be related to Ning Xiaochuan. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Xiao Cheng's body was returned to the Imperial City, and Ning Xiaochuan followed him back to the Imperial City. It would be strange not to arouse suspicion.
Therefore, he ordered to block the news of Ning Xiaochuan's return.
"Dong dong"
Ning Xiaochuan knocked on the study door.
"Come in"
The old Marquis sat on a wicker chair and glanced at Ning Xiaochuan. He was slightly surprised and said, "Have you reached the state of transcendence?"
Ning Xiaochuan still respected the old Marquis very much and regarded him as his relative. He said respectfully: "The fourth level of the realm of transcendence."
The shock in the heart of the old Marquis was even more severe. It had only been so long before his cultivation had reached such a terrifying level.
The Seven Apertures God and Demon Heart Palace is really powerful.
The old Marquis attributed all this to the "Seven Apertures God and Demon Heart Palace" and said calmly: "Did Xiao Cheng die in your hands?"
Ning Xiaochuan did not hide anything and said: "That's right."
The old Marquis stared at him deeply for a moment, then laughed and said: "Well done, you are worthy of being the future successor of my Jiange Marquis Mansion. Your father didn't have you when you were young now.
So strong. Sending Xiao Cheng's body to the Yunzhong Hou Mansion is indeed a cruel killing of Yue Wuyang's majesty. However, you shouldn't return to the imperial city so quickly. If you are seen by others, they will definitely suspect you.
On the body."
Ning Xiaochuan said: "So what if I have doubts? This time I left the imperial city and went to the Nine Death Cliff, I have seen all kinds of bloody storms. Sooner or later, I will have a battle with Yue Wuyang. Since we have already established a hostile relationship, why bother with him?
A secret conspiracy? I returned to the Imperial City just to tell him that Xiao Cheng has been killed by me. Now, let’s see how he will act?"
The old Marquis gently trimmed the beard on his chin, stared into Ning Xiaochuan's eyes, and said, "Have you found out the truth about that year?"
Ning Xiaochuan nodded
"How much do you know?" Old Marquis said solemnly.
"I know everything I should know. I also know most of the things I shouldn't know." Ning Xiaochuan said.
Old Marquis said: "Then you still want to continue the investigation?"
Ning Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, I know how to do things properly. I can attack Yue Wuyang with force. However, I won't touch some people who shouldn't be touched easily."
The old Marquis nodded and said: "If you can understand this truth, then it is naturally the best. Well, since you are back this time, let's choose a good day to officially enthrone you as the future heir of Jiangehou Mansion. You will stay temporarily for the next few days.
Don’t go anywhere in the Jiangehou Mansion, and we will officially announce this matter when the limelight passes."
Ning Xiaochuan knows that if he wants to survive better in this world, he must obtain more cultivation resources and become stronger.
If he became the young prince of Jiangehou Mansion, he would definitely be able to obtain a large amount of cultivation resources. This would be beneficial to his cultivation, so he naturally did not refuse.
In the next few days, Ning Xiaochuan stayed in the small courtyard where he once lived, practicing with all his strength, refining the remaining blood and energy in his body, and consolidating the fourth level of transcendence.
It wasn't until the twelfth day that the old marquis announced the news of Ning Xiaochuan's return to Jiangehou Mansion in a high-profile manner, and sent out invitations to all the princes and imperial masters of third rank and above, inviting them to gather at Jiangehou Mansion to witness Ning Xiaochuan's return.
coronation ceremony.
This incident not only caused a stir in the Jiangehou Mansion, but also shocked the entire imperial city.
Also in the evening of this day, the most beautiful woman in the imperial city, Yu Ningsheng, returned to Guanyulou alone, which also caused quite a sensation.
