Chapter 197 – Simple and Rude Little Master
Chapter 197 – Simple Rude Little Master
“Elder Jiang Wen of the Outer Mansion, leading a group of Outer Mansion disciples to welcome Daozi and Elder Su.” In the center of the Black Hell Immortal City, in front of a huge Immortal Mansion, a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties, with dignified features dressed in an elegant manner, and about seven feet tall, bowed respectfully to welcome him.
Behind him on both sides, there was also a group of nearly a hundred disciples outside the JieDan Immortal Mansion.
“Welcome Daozi, Elder Su!”
This group of JieDan Outer Mansion disciples bowed respectfully in unison to welcome them.
In addition to the people from the Outer Mansion, there were also ten Inner Mansion’s JieDan disciples who were in charge of guarding duties here.
Having just arrived here and seeing such a formation, Su Yu’s footsteps did not move as he lagged one step behind Fan Xiao and transmitted, “Junior nephew, I’m just a chaperone and a formation setter, so you should be the one they greet, leave it to you.”
In terms of affairs, handovers, and so on, Su Yu had all left it to Fan Xiao to manage and deal with, and he just followed by his side, not saying much.
After most of a month in a row.
Su Yu basically familiarized himself with the situation of Black Prison Immortal City, Black Prison Immortal City’s outer house has three YuanYing Elders sitting here, and the number of outer house deacons and disciples is nearly ten thousand, and they are usually responsible for inspecting the various streets of the Immortal City.
Counting the Qi Refining realm cultivators, the entire Black Prison Immortal City has more than three million Immortal Cultivators.
It was not easy to control the entire city with such a force.
However, the good thing is, after so many years down the Black Prison Immortal City each system is basically very perfect, array formation all over the city, Su Yu roughly patrol once, is not found any loopholes.
One month later.
Black Prison Immortal Mansion, Great Hall.
Fan Xiao, Su Yu, the three YuanYing Elders of the Outer Mansion, and the ten Inner Mansion disciples gathered to deliberate.
The three YuanYing Elders of the Outer Mansion were named Jiang Wen, Chen ZhouDao, and Bai Chuan, and their cultivation levels were at the fourth level of the YuanYing Realm, the third level of the YuanYing Realm, and the first level of the YuanYing Realm respectively.
Fan Xiao’s current cultivation was at the eighth level of the JieDan Realm, and Su Yu’s cultivation shown to the outside world was at the fifth level of the JieDan Realm.
The other ten JieDan Internal Prefecture disciples were from the three main peaks, and their cultivation levels were all between the eighth and ninth layers of the JieDan Realm.
Two seats at the top, Fan Xiao and Su Yu sat up one by one, while the three YuanYing outer house elders sat on the left and right sides, and the remaining inner house disciples sat at the back.
Bai Chuan, the YuanYing Elder sitting in the second seat on the left side, had a bit of worry on his face, his eyes had a bit of coldness in them as he said, “Dao Zi, Elder Su, the hidden danger of the Black Prison Immortal City doesn’t lie within the Immortal City, but rather outside of the Immortal City.”
“There are quite a few forces on the Yu Dragon Palace’s side that want to fish in troubled waters and trigger chaos and turmoil in the region of Black Prison Immortal City.”
“And some Immortal Cultivation clans or forces underneath the Black Prison Immortal City secretly have connections with the forces on Yu Dragon Palace’s side, or act with their power, seeking to take over other forces’ resource lands or workshops.”
“Over this period of time, the Outer Mansions have found over a hundred battles with such signs.”
“There are six forces that have been exterminated as a result, fifteen forces that are still in the midst of the melee, and the rest are still just in the stupidity stage.”
“Among these forces, there are eight forces involving the YuanYing realm, if these upheavals are not suppressed, by the time they permeate the entire Black Hell Immortal City territory, there will be more than twenty YuanYing realm forces involved.”
Fan Xiao’s exquisite and stunningly beautiful face was calm and self-contained as she said, “Are there any signs of turmoil in my Earth Immortal Mansion’s workshops and resource lands?”
Bai Chuan pondered for a moment and shook his head, “There was a workshop market that suffered from robbing cultivators before, but it was quickly pacified, and there are currently no forces within the region or the Yulong Palace region that dare to reach out to the Immortal Sect’s workshop markets and resource lands.”
He then went into detail about the various problems within the Black Prison Immortal City region, as well as Elder Bai Chuan’s own concerns.
The order does not go beyond the Immortal City and the workshop markets under its command!
This was the most serious point, especially in the last hundred years, as the strength of the various forces within the Black Prison Immortal City region grew, as well as the infiltration of some of the forces’ sons and daughters into the Earth Immortal Mansion Outer Mansion, the actions of those forces had gradually become bolder, and they seemed to have gained some backbone as well.
In the face of some of the orders of the Black Prison Immortal City, there were times when they disobeyed the orders or simply ignored them!
Because they in the Earth Immortal Mansion outside, or inside also have disciples, or even elders relationship, not necessarily the Black Hell Immortal City side, even if they ignore the Black Hell Immortal City some orders, do some things to resist the order, the Black Hell Immortal City is also very difficult to investigate deeply.
Just like this time, there is a turbulence on the side of Yulong Palace, some forces want to fish in troubled waters and mess up the neighboring region of Black Hell Immortal City, so as to seek their own interests.
In this case, were the forces on the Yu Dragon Palace’s side really the only ones stirring up trouble?
Not necessarily!
Previously, Elder Bai Chuan had been inspecting all parts of the Black Prison Immortal City, and had only recently returned to the Immortal City to pay his respects to Daozi as well as Elder Su Yu, who had come from the Inner Mansion.
Now under the deliberation, he also voiced the biggest worry in his heart.
If this continues, the Black Prison Immortal City region may really get out of control and trigger even greater turmoil.
Chen Zhou Dao frowned lightly and said, “It’s not that serious, Elder Bai filtered, like you said, it’s hard to believe that my Earth Immortal Mansion has lost control of the outside of the Black Prison Immortal City in these hundred years? No, right.”
“As for some other minor issues, I feel that they are all just minor flaws that do not affect my Earth Immortal Mansion’s control over the territory of Black Prison Immortal City.”
Bai Chuan just smiled gently and didn’t argue with him, “Well, Elder Chen has a point.”
Fan Xiao looked towards Jiang Wen and said, “What does Elder Jiang think?”
Jiang Wen said with a harrumph, “All of it makes sense, there are problems with what Elder Bai said, but there’s nothing wrong with what Elder Chen said. As for what the facts are, or if Daozi wants to explore the situation outside a bit, I can accompany Daozi to go out on patrol.”
This first deliberation then ended.
Inside the Immortal Mansion’s main courtyard.
Fan Xiao invited Su Yu here, personally making and pouring tea for him, serving him comfortably before inquiring, “Senior Uncle, you haven’t even spoken today, what do you think should be done to rectify the chaos in this Black Prison Immortal City territory?”
Now that there were only two people here, Su Yu tasted the spirit tea water that Daozi’s nephew had sent him, it was good, and quite sweet.
Slurping in admiration, Su Yu said, “It’s only been a month since I arrived, what should I cure? You don’t know anything other than the information from a few of their mouths, who do you want to cure?”
Fan Xiao smiled at his words, from these words, it could be seen that this Junior Master of hers had his own thoughts and was not a brainless person.
Fan Shin looked at Su Yu’s tea cup that he had drunk most of, and once again refilled some for him, and added: “Then, does senior uncle want to accompany me, and go out for a round of inspection?”
Su Yu shook his head, what a joke, walking out of Immortal City with her, that would be the appearance of a peak YuanYing realm assassin he wouldn’t even be surprised.
Su Yu said, “Didn’t I bring the Heavenly Thunder Mouse Demon swarm before? They are already scattered in all corners of the Black Prison Immortal City territory, leave the matter of intelligence to them.”
“Let’s stay in the city peacefully for a year first, after a year, after figuring out the true situation of the Black Prison Immortal City territory, we’ll be able to get a clear idea of how to act.”
“Pick a few that venture out and slaughter them, and with a bit of authority, the chaos here should be able to be calmed.”
“At that time, we will then deal with the matter on the Yu Dragon Palace’s side.”
Fan Xiao’s pair of charming phoenix eyes revealed a little surprise, before coming here, her master, the Earth Immortal Mansion Master, had said for her to listen to more of her junior uncle’s opinions after coming here.
Don’t feel that you are presumptuous and self-righteous just because you have become a Dao Son.
And now that she had heard Su Yu’s proposal, Fan Xiao felt that her master had seen it quite accurately, and that her junior uncle did indeed have ideas.
Thinking about it, Fan Xiao nodded her head in agreement, “Then I’ll listen to Senior Uncle.”
“Don’t don’t don’t, I came here to fool around, you’re still in charge here.” Su Yu resolutely acted as a salted fish, and drank two more cups of sweet spirit tea from his young master nephew before leisurely going back to his own residence.
In Su Yu’s opinion, the chaos outside the Black Hell Immortal City was just paper mache, and it was very simple for the Earth Immortal Mansion to dispose of it.
But how to deal with it, this is more troublesome.
This kind of trouble, hand over to their own little nephew tossed on good, they are still focusing on cultivation, do not add to the trouble of the better. The next period of time, Su Yu daily daily cultivation, alchemy, refining formation base, basically did not go out much, acting very low-key, also really do not care about things.
Only no one knew that in his spare time, he was strolling around in the Immortal Mansion, unknowingly laying down several more formations, making the Black Prison Immortal Mansion into a copper wall.
Outside the Black Hell Immortal City.
In fact, the news that a Daoist son of the Earth Immortal Mansion was personally sitting in the Immortal City had long spread, so in the period of time that Fan Xiao had just arrived, the conflicts between the various forces had actually tightened up a lot.
However, with the news of the Black Prison Immortal City, Fan Xiao had come for so long without even going out of the gate of the Immortal City, and gradually some sarcastic voices were heard among the various forces, and the reputation of being greedy and fearful of death fell on the head of this Dao Son of Fan Xiao.
Less than a year ago, one thing caused the Black Prison Immortal City region to clamor.
Fan Xiao summoned Jiang Wen, Chen Zhou Dao, Bai Chuan and others to deliberate, Su Yu did not go, but summoned two third-order lower-grade Heavenly Thunder Rats in the backyard.
“Master, that Ji surname Immortal Cultivation Family has a notorious reputation in the Black Prison Immortal City Region, it is rumored that one of the elders in their family is an Immortal Sect Inner House Elder, and the Ji Family itself has three YuanYing Realm True Monarchs, with the strongest one of the oldest ancestor already being at the YuanYing Realm Fifth Layer Cultivation, and is ranked at the top of the list in the Black Prison Immortal City Region in terms of power and strength.”
“And this time, the other Wang Immortal Cultivation Family they took down is indeed one step weaker than the Ji Family in terms of strength and power, but the Wang Family’s oldest ancestor is also at the fifth level of the YuanYing Realm cultivation.”
“It would be impossible to take down the Ji Family if it was just with the Ji Family’s strength.”
“However, that old ancestor of the Wang Family, recently had an accident, he went out for some unknown reason and ended up falling outside.”
“Who the murderer is, no one knows yet.”
“However, according to our investigation, this Ji Family has quite good relations with quite a few forces in the Yulong Palace Region, and the forces under the Ji Family’s command have been growing rapidly recently, which is not quite normal.”
“This time, the Ji family swallowed the Wang family, and also announced that they had taken one workshop market and three resource lands of the Immortal Sect within the range of the two families as their own, which is a bit of a test, as the Ji family didn’t make a move on that workshop market as well as the resource lands.”
A Heavenly Thunder Mouse recounted what had just happened in detail, including the Ji Family’s bottom line.
This was the biggest thing that had happened since Su Yu had arrived in Black Hell Immortal City.
When Su Yu heard it, he felt that it was a bit interesting, “Putting out a message saying that he would take the geographical resources of both families to himself, but actually didn’t do anything about it?”
The Ji Family had swallowed the Wang Family, something Su Yu didn’t care about at all.
The weak and the strong, this was the basic code of the cultivation world, whether the Wang family died or not had nothing to do with him.
But if the Ji family dared to put out words that they wanted to take one of the Immortal Sect’s workshop markets and three resource lands for themselves, this matter had something to do with him!
Not to mention a workshop market and three resource lands, even if the Ji Family dared to touch a single person in the Earth Immortal Mansion’s Outer Mansion, then the Ji Family was looking for death!
Now that the Ji family was doing this, it only meant two things.
One was to proclaim their family’s ferocious authority, so that their family’s status in the Black Prison Immortal City region would be higher; the other was to once again test Fan Xiao, the Dao Son who was guarding the Black Prison Immortal City, and wanted to see Fan Xiao’s reaction.
Even though Fan Xiao might have overreacted, he, the Ji family, hadn’t made a move.
The news outside?
That was just rumors!
What to do with this matter? Su Yu was still pondering, when a third rank lower grade Heavenly Thunder Mouse appeared and respectfully prostrated in front of Su Yu, saying, “Master, the Ji family’s old ancestor came to the Immortal Mansion, saying that he wanted to apologize to Daoist Fan Xiao, and that their Ji family would never dare to offend the Immortal Sect.”
Ma De, this Ji family has one ring after another ah!
Su Yu laughed when he heard it, this Ji family’s heart and soul is quite a lot, all for that rumor thing the old ancestor personally came to ask for forgiveness, how else can you deal with the Ji family.
It is just a rumor!
Su Yu’s eyes looked towards the other third rank lower grade Heavenly Thunder Mouse and inquired about the status of the other forces and other places in the Black Prison Immortal City region.
Compared to when he and Fan Xiao first arrived, the outside of Black Prison Immortal City was much more chaotic now.
Many forces were fighting openly and secretly, and there weren’t many forces colluding with the forces of the Yulong Palace Region, but of course, this was all just the situation in the dark underground.
On the bright side, the situation outside the Black Prison Immortal City’s Immortal Mansion Outer Mansion Supervision, the situation outside wasn’t quite chaotic.
More than two hours later.
Fan Xiao came alone to find, between her brows there was actually a trace of tiredness look, as well as a touch of frosty coldness, she came to Su Yu’s courtyard, looking at Su Yu’s leisurely appearance, she couldn’t help but be a bit aggravated and said, “Junior Uncle, you really don’t care about anything.”
Su Yu waved his hand for her to sit down and said, “Where is this? A year has not even passed yet, and it’s still just a matter of a mere Black Prison Immortal City.”
“You’re a Daozi, in the future, if you become a House Master to take over the entire Immortal Sect’s matters, what’s wrong with that?”
Fan Xiao lightly sighed, in Su Yu did not maintain any Daoist son majesty or image, one hand rubbed his brow, revealing a full daughterly manner, whispering in a small voice, “But this hooking up is really tiring.”
Su Yu gently shook her head and said, “Who asked you to hook up with them? That Ji family’s old ancestor is here, you should hang him out to dry for a while before saying anything.”
“Also, you’re Daozi, you can’t be so gentle in handling things!”
Fan Xiao looked at Su Yu and queried, “What does Senior Uncle think should be done?”
Su Yu leisurely said, “Pass the order down, from this moment onwards, all forces within the Black Prison Immortal City territory are forbidden to engage in private fights, and whoever dares to disobey the will of the Immortal Sect will die.”
How the other forces tried and provoked was their business. Now it was their turn to make a move.
Let’s start with the first move.
Fan Xiao’s complexion stared at his words and looked at Su Yu, “What if no one pays attention?”
Su Yu smiled as he listened and said, “That’s quite good, you are the Dao Son, representing the will of the Immortal Sect, who dares to disobey the orders, then why keep them? Clean them all up and the rest will naturally obey.”
“I even kind of hope that the Ji family will take the lead and disobey.”
Fan Xiao hesitated, “But with just the two of us, we can’t do that.”
Su Yu flexed his finger and a magic power suddenly flicked Fan Xiao’s brow, he scolded, “Stupid, if they want to rebel, then of course you should mobilize your resources and get your master to send someone to suppress them.”
“How can you do everything yourself?”
“A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, your life and your little master’s life is still golden.”
Fan Xiao was enlightened at these words, her thinking changed from this moment, yes, she had previously thought that this was a test given to her by the House Master, a way for her to handle the affairs of the Black Prison Immortal City on her own.
With such thinking, one was still limited to the status of a disciple.
But now that she was in charge of this territory of Black Prison Immortal City, not a disciple, she naturally had to dispose of it with the mindset of a manager.
The moment she was pointed out clearly, the tired look between Fan Xiao’s eyebrows immediately dissipated, and the majesty and temperament of being a Daoist son returned, with her Immortal Might being stronger than that of an ordinary YuanYing Realm True Lord.
Just that there was still a small red dot on her brow, while Su Yu secretly nodded his head, flicking a Daozi’s brow to scold her for being stupid, it felt quite good.
Somewhere in the Black Hell Immortal Mansion, an old crone secretly watched this scene and secretly nodded her head, “Worthy of being that old man Tian Yu’s disciple, the Mansion Master was right to let him come along.”
For disciples such as Fan Xiao, the time that the Mansion Master personally taught was actually very little, and Fan Xiao hadn’t been initiated for very long, there were many aspects that were still tender.
It needed to be practiced and grow a little.
Only the old woman would not have thought that Su Yu’s way of dealing with things had always been simple and rough, and after listening to more of Su Yu’s teachings, Fan Xiao had more or less learned a little bit.
