It's just that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Although Apocalypse City is an imperial city, it can only restrain the major forces in the northern part of Beili Kingdom, and its binding force on forces in other places is relatively weak.
Xueyue City is recognized as the second largest city in the world, and almost all the large and small sects in the southern region of Beili Kingdom respect Xueyue City.
As for the sect forces in the eastern region of Beili Kingdom, there is no exception. Most of them respect Wushuang City.
Only the sect power in the western region of Beili Kingdom is the most special. Although the Muliang City of Luo Qingyang, the 'Lone Sword Immortal', is in the western region, there is only one Luo Qingyang in Muliang City.
In addition, Luo Qingyang's cultivation method is quite special, and he has no interest in secular forces at all. Therefore, the various sects in the western region of Beili Kingdom fight independently, like scattered sand, and are completely incompatible with the forces under the other three cities.
Compare.
Therefore, after the strong rise of Sangu City, these sect forces in the western region, which were like scattered sand, seemed to have found a leader.
After Sangu City unified the northern and western regions, it has completely established its title as the third largest city in the world. Whether it is high-end military force or the power of its subordinates, it has far surpassed Muliang City and Wushuang City.
While the power of Sangu City was rapidly expanding, Huanyinfang branches under the Empress also began to be established in major cities in Beili.
In addition to Wushuang City and Muliang City, Huanyinfang branch can be seen in other cities in Beili Kingdom, even Xueyue City and Tianqi City are no exception.
After all, whether it was Zhuge Qingyun snatching the Wushuang Sword Box or the Empress defeating Song Yanhui with one sword, this would be a great shame and humiliation for Wushuang City.
Although Wushuang City did not dare to go to war with Sangu City, it regarded Sangu City as a thorn in its side. How could it be possible for the empress to establish a branch of Huanyinfang in Wushuang City?
Muliang City was originally a desolate and dead city, and there was only one "Gu Jianxian" in the entire city, so it was impossible for the empress to establish a branch of Huanyinfang in Muliang City.
…
"Da da da……"
The empress, wearing a red dress, walked quickly into the study room where Zhuge Qingyun was, and asked curiously: "Husband, what's the matter with you calling me here in such a hurry?"
"This is the secret message that Xiao Jingxia just sent. I think you will like its content very much." After Zhuge Qingyun finished speaking, he directly handed the secret message in his hand to the empress.
After reading the secret letter, the empress couldn't help but excitedly said: "Anhe is planning to assassinate Li Hanyi? That's great!"
‘Underwater’ is a very famous killer organization in the world of martial arts. Although there is no ‘Underworld’ killer on the list of killers in the world, people who are familiar with them will not look down upon them.
The reason why the "Dark River" killers are not on the killer list is not because they are not strong enough, but because they act secretly and everyone who sees them usually dies.
"Anhe" is composed of three major families, namely: the Su family of weaponry, the Xie family of internal martial arts, and the Mu family of secret medical skills.
Above the three families, the head of the family is the most respected person. Below the head of the family, there are three family heads, each of whom is in charge of the assassins within the family.
‘Dark River’ is a killer organization, and the killer organization has always believed in the principle of respecting the strong, so the cultivation level of the three masters must at least reach the level of Xiaoyao Tian.
As for the head of the Dark River, he was able to single-handedly subjugate the three masters. His strength is naturally far beyond that of the ordinary Xiaoyao Tianjing. Even if he has not reached the level of a 'Sword Immortal', he has at least reached the level of a 'Half-Step Sword'.
Immortal' level.
It is precisely because of the powerful strength of "Underwater" that they dare to plan the assassination of Xue Yue Sword Immortal.
If Li Hanyi had been staying in Xueyue City, with Sikong Changfeng and other experts from Xueyue City here, even if all members of the 'Underwater' were deployed, it would be impossible to hurt her.
But once Li Hanyi left Xueyue City and fell into the ambush set by the "Underwater" killer in advance, she might really die in the hands of the "Underwater" killer.
The empress herself likes to collect outstanding beauties as her subordinates, and Li Hanyi should be regarded as the most powerful beauty in the entire world of "Young Song Xing".
Li Hanyi, the 'Xueyue Sword Immortal', was as alluring to the empress as the best wine is to an alcoholic.
However, with Li Hanyi's status as the "Xueyue Sword Immortal", she would definitely not be willing to submit to others under normal circumstances. Even the empress would have a hard time subduing her.
Therefore, the empress planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the "Underwater" killer to stage a good show of a hero saving the beauty, and then take the opportunity to conquer Li Hanyi.
…
"I wonder what my adoptive father will do after he gets the news? I hope he won't disappoint me!"
On the other hand, after Xiao Jingxia passed the news to Zhuge Qingyun that "Dark River" was preparing for an assassination, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
The killer of "Underwater" has always been secretive in his actions. Even Jianghu Baixiaotang doesn't know where the headquarters of "Underground River" is, let alone Xiao Jingxia, the unpopular ninth prince.
The reason why Xiao Jingxia was able to know the plan of the killer of "Dark River" was because he had helped King Bai contact "Dark River" under the instruction of King Red.
On the surface, it seems that 'Anhe' has not supported any of the princes, but in fact, the elders of 'Anhe' have already been on the line with the Red King. He has the intention to support the Red King to ascend the throne, and then obtain his own.
The glory and wealth you want.
It’s just that King Red deliberately acted like he had nothing to do with ‘Dark River’, so that Xiao Jingxia helped King Bai contact ‘Dark River’, and made King Bai mistakenly think that ‘Dark River’ had surrendered to him.
Once King Bai thought he had conquered the 'Underworld River', he would definitely leave it to the 'Underground River' to do many things that were inconvenient to do.
In addition, Xiao Jingxia was also an undercover agent placed by King Bai next to King Bai. With them spying on King Bai, every move of King Bai could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of King Bai. How could he compete with King Red for the throne?
If it were in the past, Xiao Jingxia would naturally hope that the Red King could kill the White King at the minimum cost, but since Zhuge Qingyun gave Xiao Jingxia the confidence to fight for the throne, his thoughts have changed.
But now Xiao Jingxia only hopes that the White King and Red King will fight more fiercely, and it is best for both of them to suffer losses, so that he can reap the benefits.
Therefore, it is impossible for Xiao Jingxia to watch the White King being knocked down by the Red King, otherwise once the White King is knocked down by the Red King, he will have to face the enemy of the Red King alone.
The reason why Xiao Jingxia deliberately passed on the plan of 'Underwater' to Zhuge Qingyun was, on the one hand, he could take the opportunity to destroy the Red King's plan, and on the other hand, he could take the opportunity to win over Xueyue City.
As long as Zhuge Qingyun rescues Li Hanyi at the critical moment, then Xueyue City owes him a huge favor. The stronger the power of Sangu City, the more beneficial it will be to Xiao Jingxia.
