Chapter 289: The Pillar of the Netherworld
Lu Shaoyan didn't hang up the phone, and after a while, she spoke: "I found out, four hundred and fifty kilometers away from you, there was indeed a battle, and the scope of destruction at the scene was very exaggerated, judging from the results of the preliminary investigation, the two sides of the war should be the empress and the king of the ten dead." ”
"The Empress?"
Lin Wu couldn't help but be surprised: "Isn't the empress still sleeping?"
When he said this, he paused, and frowned again: "However, calculate the time, today also happens to be the seventh day when Jiang Ling'er has exposed her breath, and it is normal for the empress to wake up today." ”
"The Empress did not leave the tomb. Lu Shaoyan shook his head and said, "I guess it's a fight in the air." ”
Lin Wu nodded slightly.
He had also heard that the Empress's ultimate talent was called the Transformation of the Void, and playing with space in applause was a very wonderful and weird ability.
"Hey, that's right. Lin Wu suddenly wondered: "How do you know that the empress has not left the ancient tomb? Since the empress can teleport and is in the ancient tomb, no one can track and monitor her, right?"
"Because the sea of blood is still flowing. ”
Lu Shaoyan said: "The sea of blood was originally a completely static Dead Sea, and only when the empress controlled the sea of blood could the sea of blood flow. ”
Lin Wu nodded suddenly.
"I'm a little weird, though. Lu Shaoyan said again: "Although the empress can attack from thousands of kilometers away, it is impossible for her to detect the state thousands of kilometers away, unless there is the blood of the Xia clan there, let her follow the breath in order to accurately cross the space." ”
"Xia bloodline?"
Lin Wu looked in that direction, thought for a moment, and said, "That should be the direction where the Prince of Youming and the Netherworld Princess fled, maybe it was the Ten Dead Kings who met them, so the Empress rescued them?"
"That's how it should be. Lu Shaoyan said softly: "However, after all, the empress is only shooting out of the air, and it is difficult to say whether she can stop the Ten Dead Kings, the prince of Youming still has hope of escaping under the protection of the empress, but the princess of the Netherworld is only a feudal prince, and it may be gone if it is slightly affected by the king-level ghosts." ”
Lin Wu was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "By the way, the Ten Dead Kings went to kill Dongfang Ce, right?
"Nope. ”
Lu Shaoyan sighed softly, "The body of the Ten Dead Kings is too powerful, with the gap of receiving my full blow, it destroyed Dongfang Che's body, and now Dongfang Che only has his soul left, like a repeater, it is really annoying, it is estimated that the Dongfang family is going to use the topic to play again, and use this matter to make a fuss." ”
"You're one of the few Yamas in the Yin Cao position, so I shouldn't be too embarrassed for you, right?" Lin Wu said.
He is a little strange, it stands to reason that there are only a few Yamas in the entire country, and Lu Shaoyan, as one of them, should have a very high status.
However, from what he recently learned, Lu Shaoyan, as one of several Yamas, couldn't even sit in the position of the Ten Hall Yamas, and she still needed to go through a long-term investigation and enough merit, and she would also be targeted by other Innate Soul Hook Envoy families, and it felt that the Netherworld didn't seem to value her very much.
"Don't think so highly of me. ”
Lu Shaoyan sighed and said, "For the Netherworld Mansion, the Ten Palaces Yama, the provincial presidents, the vice presidents, and even the ordinary Soul Hook Envoys are just the managers of the Netherworld Mansion, and the real pillar of the Netherworld Mansion is actually the Ten Innate Soul Envoy Families, or the top of the Ten Great Families. ”
Lin Wu was silent for a moment, then nodded, acquiescing to this statement.
Just like the Chi family, they are almost absolutely in control in Guangdong Province, and almost all the high-level members of the Guangdong Provincial Death Committee are from the Chi family, and it is just a matter of one sentence to remove the vice president.
The uncle of Chi Shanhe, the vice president of Guangdong Province, is also a Yama, but in front of the ancestor of the Chi family, he also has to kneel and speak respectfully.
The difference in status can also be seen here.
"There will be Yama in every era, unless it is the existence of the living Yama that seems to surpass Yama, otherwise it is just a more or less difference, and those old monsters who have lived for thousands of years behind the ten major families are the real power of the Netherworld. ”
Lu Shaoyan said softly: "We soul seducers are more like employees working for the Netherworld, even at my level, at most they are just CEOs, and the top of the top ten families are the board of directors." ”
Lin Wu suddenly.
Actually, think about it.
Soul Hooker, Impermanence and Feng Bo-level ghosts are the same level, but impermanence can't kill Feng Bo-level ghosts at all, and can only deal with those ghosts that have not been knighted, Judge-level Soul Hook is at the same level as Fenghou-level ghosts, but the judge can't destroy the Fenghou-level ghosts, the Grand Judge is at the same level as the Fenggong-level ghosts, but the Grand Judge can't destroy the Fenggong-level ghosts.
This is true even for the top-level Yama, Yama is at the same level as the king-level ghosts, but no matter how many Yamas join forces, it is impossible to kill a king-level ghost.
And the fight between ghosts and monsters is very fatal.
For example, after Lin Wu reached the Fengbo level, he had already killed a lot of Fengbo-level ghosts, and after reaching the Fenghou level, he also easily killed the Fenghou-level ghosts.
Even if it is a battle between king-level ghosts, it is possible to kill people, such as Lin Jia, the Ten Death Kings, and Jiang Shiming teamed up to kill the Tiance King.
In other words, the Soul Hooker can only deal with the ghosts of the lower level.
Yama's soul power is almost substantial, and it can only contain and hinder the king-level ghosts, and at most it can only kill those public-level ghosts.
Therefore, in terms of strength and status, Yama is a little lower than the king-level ghosts.
What's more, the king-level ghosts are immortal and indestructible, almost immortal, and Yama's lifespan is shorter than that of mortals, but it is only for decades, of course, it cannot be compared.
Regardless of strength and longevity, they are all above Yama, and Yama can't hurt them, so thinking about it, the real rulers of the Netherworld can naturally only be those old monsters who are king-level ghosts.
"After Xiao Ruochu died a while ago, the Dongfang family immediately parachuted that Dongfang Che into the vice president, and I, the president, don't even have the right to make suggestions or votes except for a notice, you understand my status now, right?" Lu Shaoyan said.
Lin Wu nodded silently, and asked in confusion: "What about your teacher Xu Mengying? She is the former president, is she also a member of the Soul Charm family?"
"Hmm. ”
Lu Shaoyan said: "She is a member of the Xu family. ”
"Strange. Lin Wu said: "The last time I went to Guangdong Province, the Guangdong Provincial Death Committee was completely the Chi family's decision, right?"
"In such a large place in the country, the area, population, development and so on of each province are different, and there are ten major families in total, and it is impossible to divide them equally, some families occupy a larger territory and occupy three or four provinces exclusively, and some families occupy a smaller territory, and may occupy one or two provinces by themselves, and they have to occupy other provinces together with other families. ”
Lu Shaoyan explained: "Jiangnan Province is a relatively special place, the Xiao family, the Xu family, and the Dongfang family are mixed, so some of the high-level members of the Jiangnan Provincial Death Committee are surnamed Xiao, some are surnamed Dongfang, and some are surnamed Xu. ”
"I see. Lin Wu suddenly smiled again: "But you, who don't belong to the top ten families, haven't you also become the president?"
Lu Shaoyan shook his head slightly, and said: "If it weren't for me as Yama, otherwise I wouldn't be the president, even if it was the position of vice president, it would definitely not be my turn, even if it was the chief judge, as long as it wasn't a member of the three major families, there would be almost no chance." ”
"What about Baiyun Province?" Lin Wu couldn't help but be curious: "The president and vice president of Baiyun Province don't seem to be from the top ten families, right?"
Lu Shaoyan was silent for a moment and said: "Baiyun Province used to be the territory of the 'Yu family' among the four families, but after the living Yan Luo took office, he dismissed the Yu family, which can be said to be the only 'just' place, but Baiyun Province is also the weakest, the most vulnerable to the attack of ghosts, and most of the hidden criminals are also hiding in Baiyun Province. ”
"But the living Yama is dead. Lin Wu couldn't help but say, "Hasn't the Yu family gone back yet?"
Lu Shaoyan shook his head and said: "At the beginning, the Living Yama and the Ten Great Families made an agreement that the Baiyun Provincial Death Committee would never accept members of the Ten Great Families, probably because they didn't want to break the contract, so the Yu family has never had the intention of reoccupying Baiyun Province, but the Ten Great Families have never supported Baiyun Province. ”
"Yes......"
Lin Wu couldn't help but touch his chin, "The Ten Great Families themselves are the ruling class of the Netherworld, even if they break the contract, they are still willing to abide by the contract?"
For the ruling class, rules and agreements are also for the convenience of rule, once there is any dissatisfaction, it is too normal to change the rules, and for the top ten families, there is no need for any cooking.
He couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: Could it be ...... The Living Yama is not dead yet, and the high-ranking members of the Ten Great Families also know this?
"Cui Jue?"
Lin Wu suddenly thought of the 'Teacher Cui' who taught history at the Baiyun Provincial Headquarters, if the living Yama was really alive, then ...... That Mr. Cui is the most likely.
Moreover, the old man named Cui Jue has a student, who happens to be the mysterious and terrifying Lin Jia, and Lin Jia is likely to be Pei Jianing, the silver ring can only be taken off by Pei Jianing, and she doesn't have to think about it to know that it is a physical item formed by her obsession, and the silver ring happens to be the same model as the 'Power Ghost Ring' invented by Living Yama......
So many coincidences come together, then it's not a coincidence.
"Don't talk about that. ”
Lu Shaoyan said: "Lin Wu, there are too many things that have happened recently, I want to deal with it as soon as possible, so let's not talk about it for now, you better come back early." ”
"Hmm. ”
Lin Wu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go back now." ”
