In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

The lady instructed this morning that if the young lady woke up, she could leave on her own, or have something to eat and wait for her return in the evening.

"Who is your wife?"

"Our lady is Madam Feng, and she's currently renovating the reception building!"

Shang Xiuxun was startled upon hearing this, not expecting that she would appear here from Ghost Street.

Considering that Ghost Street was also part of the Zhang family, it was already a blessing that she hadn't been humiliated there. She just wondered how Lu Miaozi was doing now.

Considering the Zhang family's influence, she decided to wait here for a while, since the Zhang family's information channels were top-notch.

"Please prepare some food."

"Please wait a moment, young lady!"

A maid put down her work and went to the kitchen to prepare some simple food.

Eight-treasure lotus seed porridge! Cakes and desserts! Fruit platter! Vegetable salad!

A moment later, Shang Xiuxun looked at the food in front of her with considerable surprise.

Lotus seed porridge is not a rare dish, but the ingredients used in the fragrant lotus seed porridge are extremely precious.

Rouge rice, tribute lotus seeds, Western Region red dates...

As a foodie, Shang Xiuxun's eyes lit up. It really was the Zhang family. She hadn't expected that even a simple breakfast would be so luxurious.

The fruit platter and vegetable salad included some fruits that Shang Xiuxun had never seen before.

The only fruits she knew were grapes, pears, and bananas; strawberries, pineapples, and apples were all novelties to her.

She even stole the vegetable salad once, and most of the vegetables looked unfamiliar to her.

After the meal, Shang Xiuxun looked around.

The novel and unique minimalist style made her feel more comfortable than the beaded curtains and red veils of her daughter's home.

However, this is the Zhang family home, and she is now vaguely worried about 'Lu Miaozi's' safety.

This time, both the Demonic Sect and Ghost Street have come out together, their target being the Evil Emperor's Relic. Who knows if they will kill each other to silence them?

"lady!"

After a long while, as the sun had set, Shang Xiuxun heard the sound of Manager Feng returning outside.

Before their eyes was a stunningly beautiful woman with a captivating charm and an air of elegance and nobility, flanked by two charming and beautiful sword attendants. They also saw Shang Xiuxun waiting for them.

"The girl hasn't left yet!"

"Greetings, Madam. May I ask how Lu Miaozi is doing now?"

Upon hearing Shang Xiuxun inquire about Lu Miaozi's situation as soon as she came up, Manager Feng nodded and said:

"Lu Miaozi escaped during the chaos at Yang Gong's treasure vault a few days ago. As for where he went, I don't know."

But presumably, he must be spying on Ghost Street from somewhere, waiting for an opportunity to rescue people.

"If you're not in a hurry, young lady, come with me to the capital tomorrow. Once word gets out that you're by my side, Lu Miaozi will naturally come looking for you!"

"Thank you ma'am!"

Upon hearing that Lu Miaozi had escaped the battle, Shang Xiuxun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"However, there were two chivalrous heroes who wanted to sneak into Ghost Street to rescue the girl, but they were captured after falling into the traps of Ghost Street and died at the hands of 'Queen Mother of the West'."

what?

Two chivalrous heroes? Shang Xiuxun immediately thought of the Twin Dragons.

"It's Kou Zhong and Ziling!"

Manager Feng nodded upon hearing this.

This immediately filled Shang Xiuxun with sorrow. She hadn't expected that Lu Miaozi was still alive, but that her two friends had died trying to save her.

"Since Madam knew this, then why...?"

"The girl is a hostage, but also a guest, so the Queen Mother of the West will not kill her!"

However, this was the second time that the two dragons had infiltrated Ghost Street, so they fell into an ambush and were captured. Since I am not the master, I naturally left the decision to 'Queen Mother of the West'.

Given the imposing and domineering nature of Ghost Street, their deaths can only be attributed to their own folly.

It's like the girl is the owner of Pegasus Ranch. If someone were to spy on and sneak into Pegasus Ranch, would she let them go?

Shopkeeper Feng was only there to oversee Ghost Street; she didn't kill anyone, so naturally she felt no remorse.

For a moment, Shang Xiuxun was stunned and heartbroken!

However, none of this has anything to do with Manager Feng; she is just kind-hearted.

A young girl with limited martial arts skills is now surrounded by experts searching for the whereabouts of the Evil King.

The consequences of having their identities exposed are predictable.

After all, Lu Miaozi is a big fish, and anyone would be tempted by him.

Only the Zhang family can keep those demons and monsters in check.

Moreover, Ghost Street also boasted about keeping its promises, saying it would release people as soon as it said it would.

At this time, Shi Feixuan also received news of the passing of the four great monks, the disappearance of Fan Qinghui, the death of the two dragons, and even the breaking of the silent meditation by Zen Master Liaokong, which can be described as a heavy loss.

The once powerful Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chan Temple plummeted to a low point in a single day.

Moreover, the Evil Emperor's Relic was ultimately obtained by the Evil King, who was waiting in the wings, while even the Six Sword Slaves of the Net returned empty-handed.

Such an outcome is even less acceptable to those righteous masters.

Similarly, among the alien experts, only Bi Xuan remains!

All the others remained in the Central Plains; this battle was extremely fierce.

If Bi Xuan hadn't also broken through to the peerless realm in recent years, he probably wouldn't have been able to protect himself in the chaotic battle.

Many people are extremely ruthless towards experts from other races, and often gang up on them.

This is why Zhao Deyan, Shi Le, and the others were all allowed to stay here.

With the end of the story of the Evil Emperor's Relic, it may seem like the end, but in reality, the real frenzy has just begun.

After all, with the Evil Emperor's Relic falling into the hands of the Evil King, the power of the Demonic Sect will inevitably increase significantly. Coupled with the losses of Jingnian Temple and Cihang Jingzhai, the righteous path will decline while the demonic path will grow stronger, and the consequences are predictable.

Chapter 604 The Feng Shui Bureau of the Nine Provinces

"Why did you bring her here?"

On Blackwood Cliff, Dongfang Bai looked at the indignant nun before him.

Zhao Min went out to impersonate the Evil Emperor to cover for Princess Taiping, and at the same time gave the Living Buddha's relics to the Evil King.

Unexpectedly, he returned with a big surprise—he had kidnapped a stunningly beautiful nun.

Moreover, this nun's identity is not simple; she is a leader of Buddhism and the head of Cihang Jingzhai!

"I didn't think this nun was particularly attractive; she still retains her charm and is a virgin. Would you possibly like her, young master?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bai's eyes widened, and he felt a splitting headache.

Even Tu Xuehua, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh. She never expected Zhao Min to have such a funny side.

Moreover, Fan Qinghui already had impaired vision at this point.

Being arrested was bad enough, but to be humiliated like this was unthinkable. This ridiculously young girl was arrested simply to find a mistress for her 'young master'.

"Should we just kill him?"

Seeing Dongfang Bai's headache-like appearance, Zhao Min realized that something was wrong.

"You... you usually call yourself a female Zhuge Liang, but when you go out, you become incoherent and do nothing of importance."

This nun absolutely cannot be allowed to stay. Knowing of your existence, she's even less likely to leave here alive, otherwise the plan will be ruined.

However, given her special status, it's best to wait for him to arrive and handle it. Xuehua's Profound Ice and Fire Technique has already reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm; a breakthrough is just around the corner!

Upon hearing this, Fan Qinghui knew that she could not possibly leave this place alive.

An unknown, mysterious grandmaster, and the master of cultivating demonic powers within one's Dao heart.

Moreover, as the leader of the group, Dongfang Bai's martial arts skills were certainly no weaker than those of the somewhat erratic Grandmaster before her. To maintain secrecy, she naturally couldn't leave here alive.

"Sister is right!"

···

"Failed?!"

At this moment, Zhao Gao's face was extremely gloomy. If the Six Sword Slaves had not been his most prized weapon, he would never have let them leave alive.

Such a grave mistake can only be punished with death.

"My lord, please forgive us. It's not that we're trying to shirk our responsibility, but a mysterious and extremely powerful evil emperor suddenly appeared and helped the evil king escape in the chaos. We were too late to catch up."

"The Evil Emperor?"

Zhao Gao looked at Zhen Gang, the Evil Emperor of the Demonic Sect, who was the most mysterious master in the history of the Demonic Sect.

Even the renowned Shi Zhixuan was merely an Evil King. He never expected that such a troublesome Evil Emperor would appear this time, which made him doubt Zhen Gang.

"I dare not deceive you, sir. That man was a master of the Dao Heart Demon Seed. He broke Kong's silent meditation with one palm and suppressed us with another."

By the time we realized what was happening, the Evil King had already escaped!

Moreover, according to what the monk Kongda said, that person's skill was extremely refined, far surpassing that of the Martial Emperor.

Even that person's target wasn't the Evil Emperor's Relic, but rather the Evil King Shi Zhixuan!

One palm strike shattered Kong's silent meditation, and another palm strike could severely injure him.

Moreover, he was a master of cultivating demonic powers within his Dao heart. Even Zhao Gao, upon hearing this, couldn't help but look solemn.

It should be noted that over the past thousand years, the number of evil emperors who have cultivated the Dao Heart and planted the Demonic Seed in the Demonic Sect can be counted on one hand.

In the current climate, besides Empress Wu Tang and the Demon Master Pang Ban, an extremely mysterious Evil Emperor has unexpectedly emerged, surpassing even the number of Evil Emperors who have cultivated the Dao Heart Demon Seed over the past thousand years.

Moreover, the Queen Mother of the West is also an unparalleled expert in the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique. With the help of the Zhang family, she is very likely to reach that level in the future.

"Go down, this is the only time!"

"Thank you for your kindness, sir!"

After the six sword slaves left, Zhao Gao's sinister eyes were filled with resentment.

You should know that the Evil Emperor's Relic was the key to his advancement to Grandmaster, but unexpectedly it ended up benefiting someone else.

Evil Emperor, Evil King!

If Shi Zhixuan were to become a Grandmaster, one can imagine how troublesome the Demonic Sect would be.

"However, something's strange about this!"

After much deliberation, Zhao Gao discovered many suspicious points. From the moment the news broke to the final battle among nearly a hundred experts, it seemed like a premeditated plan.

Is the aim to weaken both the righteous and demonic factions within the Wu Tang territory? Or is it to seize the Evil Emperor's relic?

All of this has a strange feel to it!

···

"The Relic of the Evil Emperor!"

Similarly, Zhang Xiaoshan at the Lishan Tomb was collaborating with Feng Shui master Li Buyi for the second time.

Unlike the Zhang family's natural feng shui layout, where finding the dragon vein and locating the acupoint is sufficient.

This is a dragon vein—the imperial mausoleum!

Therefore, the difficulty for Li Buyi in taking over the project was not just about finding the dragon vein and pinpointing the acupoint; if it were merely about finding the dragon vein and pinpointing the acupoint, there would be no need for him.

Li Buyi's task was to set up a feng shui formation, specifically a special feng shui formation in the main tomb chamber.

The Lishan Tomb, with its highly toxic mercury used to suppress the dragon veins of rivers and the Nine Cauldrons, and its underground 'dead' kingdom guarded by ghostly soldiers, is unprecedented in scale.

After all, construction began when Qin Shi Huang ascended the throne, and it's unknown how many more years it will take for Emperor Ying Zheng to pass away. The scale of the project will only continue to grow.

Even Li Buyi was somewhat at a loss when he received this task.
