Chapter 1445: Moving into Shangguan (fifth update)
Only then did Shangguan Fengyun's eyes fall on Xia Qingcheng. He was also amazed by Xia Qingcheng's beauty, and there was a bright light in his eyes.
"Who is this girl...?" he asked tentatively.
Xia Qingcheng said indifferently: "The contemporary inheritance saint of Ba Tian Sect has met the head of the Shangguan family."
Qingcheng did not salute, but spoke calmly.
Shangguan Fengyun's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly clasped his fists, showing respect: "It turns out that she is the new saint of Ba Tian Sect. I didn't know that the saint was here, so I missed her from afar. Please forgive me."
He called Xiang Chen the Holy Son, which was just an honorific title.
And Xia Qingcheng is the true saint of Ba Tian Sect. Her status is only lower than the sect leader and is equivalent to the supreme elder. In the future, she will either be the sect leader or the supreme chief.
In the Tyrant Sect, he was only worshiped in name only, and his actual status was only slightly higher than that of the Supreme Elder.
In terms of status, he is not as good as Xia Qingcheng.
"Master Shangguan is so polite."
Xia Qingcheng nodded slightly.
"Holy Son and Saint Tang Yu, you have been working hard all the way. I will arrange for someone to take you two to rest. I will prepare a banquet to entertain you shortly."
Shangguan Fengyun's attitude is much better and he has more respect.
"Sorry for your trouble."
The two nodded and were immediately invited out of the palace.
Outside the palace, Yue Mei was waiting for the two of them on the steps but did not go in. The others also thought they were their servants and didn't care.
"Holy Son, Holy Lady, please go to Biyue Yayuan to rest." An elder personally received the two of them.
Several people in the group also followed the elder.
"Master, do you think that Tang Yu and the saint came here just to return the immortal talisman?"
In the hall, the elder in green couldn't help but ask curiously.
This person's name is Shangguanliu, one of the three supreme elders of the Shangguan family, and a strong man in the realm of land gods.
Shangguan Fengyun looked at the celestial talisman in his hand, his heart aching slightly. This was his son's relic.
"If Jinghong doesn't die, he may become the leader of the Tyrant Sect in the future, and my Shangguan family will become the number one family in the Tyrant Territory in one fell swoop..."
Shangguan Fengyun sighed, put away the immortal talisman, looked at the two people's backs, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The value of this immortal talisman is not small. Logically speaking, there is no need for Tang Yu to return it. It's hard to say anything if he steals it from us. If he really wants to return it for the sake of friendship, I don't believe it."
Shangguan Fengyun sneered, "For those who have been in the spiritual world for a long time, eight out of ten will become selfish people."
"Now that he has become the chief core, he will be qualified to compete for the sect leader in the future, and I, as the titular supreme minister enshrined by the Tyrant Sect, also have the right to vote. I am afraid he is here to establish a good relationship with us so that we can support him
of."
Shangguan Liu frowned and said: "If that's the case, then the saint is also qualified to compete for the sect leader. What is his purpose in bringing the saint here?"
"The two of them are obviously on the same journey and have a close relationship. They may even be Taoist companions. I will let the people in the Batian Sect ask a few questions and find out. In short, it is good to serve them and do not neglect them.
Make good friends, don’t make enemies with them.”
"Understood."
The Shangguan family is very large, with a radius of several hundred kilometers.
The often said radius is a circle with a radius of fifty kilometers, covering an area of approximately 1,962 square kilometers.
The Shangguan family covers an area of approximately 10,000 square kilometers, which is comparable to the entire capital city of Xiang Chen's previous life.
It is inhabited by tens of millions of people from the Shangguan family.
Among the nine major cities, there is always such a large area, which shows its power, and the ground veins here are good, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is rich, and there is also dragon vein fairy energy.
Along the way, several people rode in a golden chariot pulled by nine dragon horses. The chariot floated in the sky, neither fast nor slow. The Shangguan family's garden scenery and mountains and rivers were all in view.
The elder was also introducing some famous mountains and beautiful scenery in the Shangguan family to the two of them.
"Elder Mu, I heard that Shangguan Hao, the former great elder of the Shangguan family, was imprisoned for betraying the family. Is it true?"
While chatting, Xiang Chen asked casually.
Elder Mu's expression changed slightly and he said: "Holy Son, we can just talk about this matter. Don't say it in front of the head of the family. This matter is also a taboo in the Shangguan family."
"Oh, why?" Xiang Chen asked with great interest.
Elder Mu shot out a stream of true energy and turned it into a barrier to cover the carriage, isolating the people outside the carriage.
"This matter is not a glorious matter. Since the Holy Son asked me, I will tell you. It is said to be a betrayal of the family, but in fact it is an internal factional dispute.
Elder Shangguan Hao was just accused of a crime and was suppressed. It seems that the matter was related to the death of Young Master Jinghong, but we don't know the specific reason."
Elder Mu sighed: "Elder Shangguan Hao is actually a very capable elder, alas..."
"Factional disputes, I see, it's not that unusual." Xiang Chen looked astonished.
But the cold air radiating from Yue Mei's body beside her became more and more intense and cold.
"Sir, we're here."
At this time, the driver outside said softly.
Several people got off the car and came to an island. The island was one kilometer in diameter, surrounded by lakes surrounded by green mountains and green waters. It was filled with spiritual energy and the scenery was beautiful. There were beautiful pear blossoms everywhere on the island.
On the island, there is only one mansion with dozens of houses.
"This is Biyue Yayuan. It is the best place for my Shangguan family to entertain guests. Holy Son and Holy Lady, you two can visit as you like. If you need me, just send me a message."
Elder Mu cupped his hands and prepared to say goodbye.
"Okay, thank you."
Xiang Chen nodded and watched the other party leave.
After the other party left, Yue Mei took off her bamboo hat with a look of resentment on her face.
"Master, my father must have fallen out with Shangguan Fengyun because of my affairs, so he was suppressed." Yue Mei gritted her teeth with murderous intent.
"Do you know where the Shangguan family holds criminals?" Xiang Chen asked.
Yue Mei pondered, thought for a while, and said: "It should be in Juemingya. To the east from here, eighty miles away, there is a cliff with a height of ten thousand feet. This is where the family imprisons clan members who have committed serious crimes."
"Juemingya, let me take a look."
Xiang Chen's eyes burst out with light, his pupils soaring to the sky.
A pair of bright moon shadows condensed in the void, and the invisible pupil power spread out like moonlight, covering the place where Yue Mei said.
Sure enough, Xiang Chen discovered a long cliff rift valley
The cliff is very deep, nearly ten thousand feet deep into the ground, and there are many skeletons on the ground.
On the cliff, some people were tied up and dropped on the cliff, and some vicious birds were eating their flesh and blood.
"ah……!"
There was a man who was covered in rags and screamed in agony. One of his eyes was devoured by a vicious bird. It was extremely cruel.
In the huge Shangguan family, all kinds of people who violate family rules or commit serious crimes are taken here to be imprisoned or left to die every day.
