Chapter 1096
Shen Hao still remembered the scene when Nie Yun was hunted down and ran to him to take refuge.
At that time, Nie Yun was quite embarrassed, and his injuries were not serious. When asked, he said that he was chased here by the disciples of the Blood Clothes Sect all the way from the City of Death. And the reason was just because Nie Yun broke into the black prison and tried to save Zhao Zhiyuan who was suffering in the black prison at that time.
According to Nie Yun and Shen Hao's understanding, the High Heaven Palace's ability to send people to the black prison is naturally the High Heaven Palace's territory, and the Blood Clothes Sect's meddling is because the High Heaven Palace may be attached to the Blood Cloth Sect for protection. The logic also makes sense.
But now, according to what Chu Linxiang said, the black prison is not the territory of the High Heaven Palace at all, and even the High Heaven Palace can only be regarded as the jailer of the black prison.
"Who is the actual owner of the black prison? The Blood Clothes Gate?" Shen Hao asked the person in his arms curiously.
"Well, it belongs to the Blood Clothes Sect, but not all of them. To be precise, the Black Prison is jointly controlled by the three leaders of the City of Death. The outermost areas are controlled by their own people. The Lingxiao Palace is guarded by the Blood Clothes Sect, but sometimes They will also take advantage of their positions to use the outer corners of the black prison as execution grounds to punish their disciples."
"The outermost periphery? So there is another universe inside the black prison?"
"Of course. You don't know what is the most famous thing in the dead city, right? Isn't it the underground palace? There is also an underground palace under the black prison, but I don't know the details inside."
There is also an underground palace under the black prison? And it's still the area covered by the three chiefs?
After that, Chu Linxiang told Shen Hao about the internal situation of Lingxiao Palace and the overall strength of Lingxiao Palace that she knew.
For example, there are several elders under the lord of the High Heaven Palace. These elders are not like the elders of those sects in the Jingjiu Dynasty. Most of them are pure cultivators and do not care about affairs. The main affairs of all aspects are just 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 in the Xuanhai realm, and the rest, such as Li Ce and Zhou Baixu, are only in the late Yuandan realm.
Moreover, no matter the method of Lingxiao Palace, whether it is sound cultivation or charm technique, the offensive and defensive capabilities are more inclined to "deceitful", lacking the strength to face people head-on.
In other words, the apparent strength of Lingxiao Palace is not as good as some third-rate sects in the Jingjiu Dynasty. It is far inferior to the power that can be named in the city of death, so it is no wonder that it has become the attachment of the Blood Clothes Sect. Perhaps if it weren't for the unique inheritance of skills from Lingxiao Palace, they wouldn't even be qualified to be attached to the Blood Clothes Sect.
In addition, the relationship between Yueying Building and Lingxiao Palace is not the improvised relationship that Shen Hao thought before, but much deeper. Strictly speaking, Yueyinglou is also from the lineage of Lingxiao Palace, but it is more incomplete, the inheritance is basically gone, and there are only a few sporadic people, but they don't want to merge with the lineage headed by Wen Peng. Source but different heart" state.
Shen Hao understands a truth: separation is easy, but merger is difficult.
Although they are weaker after the separation, they each have their own rights to control. Even if this right seems to be the same to outsiders, the parties absolutely want to hold this right and refuse to let it go. After a long time, who will "single heart"? Even this "heart" has never been in sync from the very beginning.
Therefore, Yueying Building 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, so as to obtain a better right to live under the blood-clothed family.
With this kind of relationship, Shen Hao also understood why Li Ce and Zhou Baixu showed indifference to Yueyinglou when they approached him for the second time. "Let the strength of Lingxiao Palace skyrocket, and once you go up and down Lingxiao Palace, you still need to hook up with Yueyinglou, who seems to be in harmony with yourself?
Seeing that Shen Hao didn't continue to ask for it, Chu Linxiang was amused, she finally had a good rest, curled up in his arms and soon fell asleep.
And Shen Hao was thinking about the news he got from Lingxiao Palace today.
A total of two "Xuan Mei Shu" tips were handed over to the other party. It seems less, but in fact, Lingxiao Palace's gains are definitely greater than last time. Because the tips given last time were almost all the opening chapters, which were relatively simple, but the two tips given this time were not the opening content, but began to involve the mysterious and difficult parts of "Xuan Mei Shu".
It can be said that the key points that Shen Hao took out this time are the beginning of the power of "Xuan Mei Shu".
Li Ce and Zhou Baixu exchanged two items. One is part of the information of Yueyinglou, which not only includes the current distribution of some high-level and high-ranking spies in the Jingjiu Dynasty, but also serves as a channel for intelligence operations, and even many people involved in the Jingjiu Dynasty officials.
Second, Li Ce and Zhou Baixu had indeed comprehended Shen Hao's hint before, and chose an intelligence side in the City of Death that he was interested in, and offered them in exchange. That is the information related to Zhengyangzong.
Regarding the Zhengyang sect, Shen Hao's small book always ranks it at the forefront all the year round.
At the beginning, it was because Zhengyangzong and the group of pseudo-evil monks smuggled a large amount of supplies to the barbarians in the territory of the Jingjiu Dynasty. They joined forces with Yang Yansi and Yang Wenguang in an attempt to disrupt the structure of the Jingjiu Dynasty and then cut off the Hu in the imperial family exam. At the same time, the "Purification of the West" was also provoked by these fake and evil monks.
Being able to get the information of Zhengyangzong this time can be regarded as meeting Shen Hao's expectations.
It is true that this group of pseudo-evil monks of the Zhengyang Sect is much harder to detect than the real ones. They can even masquerade among some casual cultivators, even in some unpopular sects and Jingjiu Dynasty yamen. hide. This is also beyond Shen Hao's previous understanding of the pseudo-evil monks.
In terms of value, the information obtained this time is definitely of great importance to Shen Hao and Heiqiying.
If you want to kill an enemy, you must know what the enemy is made of. You can't just stab the opponent with a knife blindly. What's the use of stabbing the opponent if he wears chain mail? Instead, the opponent will seize the opportunity to cut off half of the head with a backhand.
With this information, not only the dossiers of the Moon Studio can take a big step forward, creating conditions for the subsequent collection of the net, but also to have a better understanding of the big net that the evil cultivators have laid in the Jingjiu Dynasty for so many years. .
One of them is very interesting. That is, these pseudo-evil monks of the Zhengyang Sect do not consider themselves to be evil monks, they just think that their practice methods are relatively "different" and "unpopular".
Even Shen Hao wondered if those casual cultivators and the officials of the old Jing Dynasty who were dragged into the water knew that they had been branded as evil cultivators?
