Chapter 578 Shou Chang Descends to the Mortal Realm for Details (Part 1)
While Ghost Ancestor was laughing and joking with Kongkong'er and the powerful figures of Xuandu Palace, Su Che couldn't stay idle. He rode the wind all the way to Jiankang City.

The headquarters of the Imperial Guards was not considered imposing among the government offices in Jiankang City; rather, it was rather low-key and shabby.

After all, this government office in Jiankang was just an office for the imperial guards to handle paperwork, approve documents sent by other government offices, and deal with money and grain issues here.

The real places where internal training was conducted, prisoners were interrogated, and executions were carried out were all located southwest of Jiankang City. The Imperial Guards built a small town there.

As soon as Su Che arrived at the entrance of the Imperial Guard's office, his former comrades came up to pay their respects.

"This humble servant pays his respects to Marquis Changxin. I heard that you have been meditating and cultivating in seclusion these past few days. What brings you to visit us today?"

"Who is on duty in the government office now?"

Su Che didn't bother with pleasantries and stepped inside, asking as he went.

"Who is on duty in the government office now?"

"Reporting to Marquis Changxin, it is Eunuch Feng Buxing on duty today. What brings you here, sir..."

"Please inform him that Su Che has come to see me on important business."

Su Che stepped forward, and soon there was a commotion in the Imperial Guard's office. Before long, several high-ranking Imperial Guards with titles of generals and commanders came to pay their respects. Su Che could only exchange greetings with such people.

However, Feng Xingbu did not keep him waiting for long. In just a short while, this heroic and imposing eunuch, dressed in a plain white robe with embroidered python sleeves and a black gauze hat, walked out directly from the inner room.

"What brings you here today, Third Young Master?"

"I didn't come here to have a drink with you."

Su Che greeted this man with a bow. Back in Cizhou, his family had benefited from this man's kindness. Although their identities had changed somewhat, they were still old acquaintances, and Su Che didn't want to play any games, so he got straight to the point and stated the purpose of his visit.

"This is not the place to talk. The law should not be passed on to six ears. Let me have someone arrange a clean room. Marquis Changxin may not know, but we probably have more spies planted here than in the palace."

"It's alright, it doesn't matter."

Su Che broke the seal of the Celestial Masters Sect, and the Nine Yuan split into demonic thoughts. The Blood River Realm and this world have been connected in some way within the territory of the Great Liang.

"Is there such a thing?"

Feng Buxing, usually calm and composed with the demeanor of a great general, was momentarily flustered upon hearing Su Che's description.

Those are endless extraterrestrial demons. Even if the Great Liang didn't have a million soldiers, or even if it did have tens of millions, they would all be helpless against them.

Why didn't the esteemed figures of the Celestial Masters sect banish that demon to the north back then? It would have been even better if they had banished him to Luoyang or Pingcheng. Ideally, he would have been banished to Yuwen Rui's home.

"You don't need to worry too much. Such a big matter is not something that you and I can decide. Where is your great-uncle now?"

"The Grand Tutor has gone on a northern tour, I'll be there now..."

"You can handle it however you see fit."

Su Che waved his hand, indicating that Feng Xingbu didn't need to elaborate: "I am now half a hermit and shouldn't interfere too much. But the most important thing right now is to send out people to clear out the nearby people and stop those cultivators who want to try their luck, so that they don't think some rare treasure has appeared and lose their lives for nothing."

After a moment's thought, Su San Gongzi realized that people's hearts are sometimes unpredictable. Even if you tell him it's a trap set by the Heavenly Demon, he might still think you're trying to stop him from getting his chance.

"If we can't stop them, let them go. If a few of them die from their delusions, we can actually save more..."

As Su Che spoke, he looked at the satisfaction on Feng Buxing's face and couldn't help but smile.

When it comes to these matters, these imperial guards are far more professional than I am; their livelihood is dealing with all sorts of spiritual practitioners.

"You go ahead with your work, I'm just delivering a message." Su Che had other things to do.

"Please proceed, my lord."

After bidding farewell to Feng, Su Che hurried towards Sheshan without lingering.

The Blood River Realm is connected to this world; we must inform the sect of this important matter as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if my mentor thinks I'm slacking off all day, he'll probably give me a good scolding.

When Su Che flew to Sheshan and headed straight for Zhixin Temple, he saw an unexpected figure at the entrance.

The man had gray hair, a flowing beard, and striking features; he was smiling broadly as he waited for him at the door.

"Senior Brother Shouchang?"

Su Che exclaimed in surprise. The person who came was Li Shouchang, who had some connections with Su Che in the Huangtiandao Sect. This Senior Brother Shouchang was a genuine Void Step cultivator and a disciple of Mo Jiaoyu in Huangtiandao. If you count carefully, he was also related to the little fox.

"Junior Brother Su looks travel-worn."

"You've come at the right time, senior brother. There's an important matter here, so why don't you go and take a look?"

This Senior Brother Li Shouchang is proficient in the Yuan Magnetic Method and has an extremely fast escape speed. If we ask him to run errands, he can definitely report the ins and outs of the news to the sect, saving us from having to use some kind of ridiculous magic array to transmit the message.

"What you're saying, junior brother, is already known to our patriarch. That's why he specially sent me down the mountain to help you. Hehe, you and I, fellow disciples, are going to make a name for ourselves this time."

"Oh?"

Does Huang Tiandao already know?
Su Che felt relieved.

That's right, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, not to mention that these tall people are even taller than the sky.

Who is Huang Tiandao? He probably already had a plan in place.

"Indeed, it's quite a coincidence that this happened between us."

Li Shouchang was easygoing and, like Su Che, not in a hurry.

"Junior brother, do you know about the ancient underworld, the Luo Feng Ancient City, and its reappearance in the mortal world?"

"Of course I know this."

It's not just that I know; my little brother has already been appointed as the local ruler by some organization whose legitimacy is unknown.

"This city was built in ancient times. It was a secret cave created by a senior named Lord Taishan. It has endless benefits for us cultivators."

Su Che listened carefully. There were many good things in this Luofeng Ancient City. His own family had collected a bunch of Soul Gall Fruits, which he heard were priceless treasures in the East Sea.

But what is the connection between the ancient city of Luofeng and the Blood Chariot Hell?
“Since the Middle Ages, the Underworld has been managed by the Xuandu Palace. With the calamity of heaven and earth, the Xuandu Palace has a new idea and plans to bring out the ancient Underworld. A powerful immortal from the sect has created thirteen talismans. Those who hold these talismans are equivalent to the masters of the ancient Underworld and can enjoy endless benefits.”

"so?"

"So we decided to hold a big event later, and we'll throw a fake match to distribute the talismans among our families."

"This is related to the Blood River Realm..."

"Therefore, Xuandu Palace and the patriarch discussed it and decided to take advantage of the current opportunity to hold a match first, to test the waters and see how many families are prepared to jump out."
