Chapter 278 Live Here, Do You Need to Sleep at Night?

"How much is the price of ten imperial cities? You call this kind of behavior of the ancestors of the underworld a compromise?"

Qin Zhe showed a disapproving expression, and said.

"In the era when the underworld was first built, modern technology didn't even start. How much manpower and material resources would it take to build such a large-scale construction on the dead land of the underworld?"

Saying that, Qin Zhe looked at the golden dragon chair in the main hall again, and said.

"Your predecessors in the underworld, I'm afraid they were very ambitious back then, right?"

"At that time, if they had no ambitions, could they come together to create the underworld?"

Shangguan Yan spread her hands, without denying it, said.

"Be a human, don't take it too seriously. What I'm telling you is the saying left by the ancestors. I don't know exactly what kind of ideal they had to build the underworld into such a pattern. I am afraid that only the most ambitious of the elders in the establishment of the underworld The old antiques know it. However, they are old and have been dormant for many years, far away from the present world, and they have long been unable to keep up with the times."

"Is this your personal opinion of the Council of Elders?"

Qin Zhe tilted his head.

"No, this is the consensus of the ten halls of the underworld."

Shangguan Yan smiled and walked away.

"The existence of the Council of Elders can now be said to be a drag on the Underworld. But no one can deny that they are the heroes who have allowed the Underworld to survive to this day. You can understand that for the Ten Palaces of the Underworld, the Council of Elders is too old and confused elders. We can only tolerate them as much as possible.”

"I can understand what you said."

Qin Zhe followed her footsteps and said.

"But let's discuss the matter as it stands. They are all cultivated people, and their age will not affect most of them. Can blind patience please you?"

"It's pointless to argue about these things. The situation of the Council of Elders is much more complicated than you think."

Shangguan Yan shook her head and said.

"The ones who don't stop jumping around now are after all a small group of people in the elders. Most of them will not easily interfere in the internal affairs of the underworld unless necessary."

While speaking, Shangguan Yan led Qin Zhe through the main hall into the backyard, and stopped by a small river.

"The council of elders consists of about 10,000 people. The underworld replaces the ten halls of Yan Luo and the high-ranking personnel in each hall every twenty years. The composition of the council of elders is mainly composed of people who have been replaced three times in the past sixty years by the underworld. Among them, there are very few people of the first generation left alive, only a hundred people are still alive. Of the first ten halls of Yama, there are two remaining, one of whom is my master."

Listening to her story, Qin Zhe frowned.

"Since your master is one of the original ten temples of Yan Luo, his influence should not be small. Why did he sit and watch the elders and other people target you?"

"The older generation's withdrawal from the stage of the underworld is not to tell tales, but to practice with peace of mind, so as to move towards a higher level."

As Shangguan Yan said, she suddenly snorted coldly.

"My old master is busy studying how to get to the eighth step, how could he have time to supervise me?"

Eighth order?

Qin Zhe was stunned for a moment, and said strangely.

"Your master... is the seventh rank?"

"Even I am at the peak of the sixth order, how can my master be weak?"

Shangguan Yan turned her beautiful eyes and said something.

"I told you before, don't underestimate the Council of Elders. If things get too big and some old antiques are caused, no one can bear it."

As she spoke, she said again.

"Of course, you don't have to take them seriously, after all, you have the capital. There are more than 10,000 people in the Elder Council, but there are only two seventh-level elders. The two elders are good to me and will not interfere in the affairs here. Sixth-level, in your It’s not enough to see a few in front of you.”

"You are flattering me too much. I have just been promoted to the sixth level. I can't bear the beating."

Qin Zhe responded with a calm expression on the surface, but secretly shocked in his heart.

The underworld actually has seven levels?

And there are two!

This TM is a bit scary!

In this world, there are only three seventh ranks in total!

"Follow me, are you still modest?"

Shangguan Yan hummed and looked over, said.

"Don't talk about anything else, just talk about your physical body, how can an ordinary sixth-order have the ability to hurt you at all?"

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yan said again.

"Don't think too much about the two seventh-level elders of the Senate. They only made breakthroughs in their later years, and they are not at the same level as the three patron saints in the present world. Just take Shu Wenhan as an example, my master's old thing walks under his hands However, three tricks are necessary to belch. The higher the realm, the more obvious the gap within the same rank. The same realm does not mean that they are evenly matched."

Slowly speaking, Shangguan Yan finally said.

"Okay, we're done talking about the Council of Elders, I don't have much time to chat with you here."

"One question, how many sixth ranks will the elders have?"

Qin Zhe spoke.

"Not much, but it can't be considered too little. Compared with the whole territory of Longguo, it's a bit worse."

Shangguan Yan responded, but did not give accurate data.

"Those people I just killed should be young, are they...?"

Qin Zhe continued to inquire.

"Don't you just have one question?"

Shangguan Yan showed an expression of impatience, but she still answered for the time being.

"The few you killed earlier were clowns attached to the Elders, not members of the Elders. The older a person is, the more afraid of death. Especially the group of tellers in the Elders, they all cherish their lives. .If they don't spare their lives in the underworld, how can they survive to this day?"

"So, I can understand that the Council of Elders is the eleventh hall independent of the ten halls of the underworld?"

Qin Zhe opened his mouth in thought.

"That's not the case. There are only a few people who like to form cliques in the Council of Elders. Most of them are people who feel restless before retiring and want to be in power after retiring. Do you think that the current Tenth Temple Yama will be unprepared for such people?"

Shangguan Yan responded, saying.

"It's not the first time that moths like Chu Jiangdian are making trouble. But even so, these people still can't be killed. The elders are all old people who have come together in the same boat. Killing one person will provoke dissatisfaction from others. They don't I will care about your reason for killing."

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Yan didn't let the conversation continue, pointing to the other side of the river and said wackily.

"This place is my harem. For the time being, it's empty, and my concubine just needs one."

"..."

The corner of Qin Zhe's mouth twitched, he looked at the row of palace buildings on the other side of the river, and fell silent.

He really didn't pay attention just now, and unknowingly walked into the imperial garden in the palace pattern of Chujiang Palace.

On the other side of the river is the harem.

"Aifei? You can choose from such a big harem, why don't you say anything? Are you dissatisfied?"

Shangguan Yan smiled.

Qin Zhe looked at her dumbly and said.

"Live here, do you need to sleep at night?"

"Hehe! You are so beautiful!"

Shangguan Yan rolled her eyes, turned and walked away.

"I'm off to work, and I'll come back to you when I'm done. There's no one living here, so you can choose a room to live in. If you need anything, just use a ghost order to contact Niutou Mamian."

Seeing that Shangguan Yan left him and walked away, Qin Zhe let out a long breath, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows.

Although he was mentally prepared to stay in the Underworld for a while, the Underworld was much more complicated than he imagined, and the Council of Elders couldn't be moved just by talking, and it was deeply involved.

That's all!

If you come here, you will be safe, stay for a few days, and see the situation.
