The ghosts and gods in the underworld made things difficult for Xia Yunqiu, and she was given the title of Princess Tianxing. All this happened so quickly that the people in the various paradises inside and outside the imperial capital were unable to react.

It was not until Xia Yunqiu walked out of Wuxuan Pavilion in public for the first time and moved into Yude Palace, one of the 72 palaces in the imperial city, that everyone realized that a new star of power was about to rise in the court of Daxia.

For several days thereafter, Xia Yunqiu replaced Xu Yankuan and Xu Taichang to contact the ghosts and gods in the underworld to discuss alliances and set the time to re-establish the City God of the underworld.

In this process, Xia Yunqiu inevitably came into contact with the powerful ministers in the court and the core authority of Daxia.

Emperor Xia, who had realized that the situation was irreversible, simply gave up his power and left everything to Xia Yunqiu to handle, only hoping to reach an agreement with the underworld as soon as possible.

In the imperial capital, the underworld palace is already crowded with people.

The prime minister and the imperial envoy among the Three Dukes, the Grand Coachman, the Guardian of the Imperial Guards, the Minister of Guests, the Minister of the Imperial Household among the Nine Ministers, all the princes and dukes, and almost all the important figures in the court gathered here.

All the ministers in the court sat upright, serious and looking at Xia Yunqiu who was in the front.

Xia Yunqiu was wearing a neutral white dress with golden patterns on it, which revealed her elegance and refinement.

Her long black hair was tied up, and now she had lost her original feminine beauty and looked more like an extraordinary and elegant young man from an aristocratic family.

Today is the first public meeting on the alliance between Daxia and the underworld. Almost all the civil and military officials in the court have come to the underworld mansion to attend this meeting in person.

The arrogance shown by the underworld before aroused dissatisfaction among the entire court and the country. If Emperor Xia had not agreed to the underworld's request against all odds, this meeting would not have taken place at all.

With such an incident in the past, all the civil and military officials in the court were dissatisfied with the underworld and even Xia Yunqiu who suddenly came to power. They came to this meeting with the intention of finding fault.

Even putting aside previous prejudices, all the civil and military officials in the court were skeptical about Xia Yunqiu's position.

The underworld pushed Xia Yunqiu to the position, which meant that Xia Yunqiu was likely to disregard the interests of Da Xia and hand over important resources to the underworld.

If something like this happens, the ministers must terminate the talks even at the risk of angering Emperor Xia.

In the venue, everyone from Daxia had already arrived, but the ghosts and gods from the underworld were nowhere to be seen.

The ministers present looked calm and did not show any dissatisfaction with the lateness of the underworld gods. All of them were old hands in the officialdom and naturally would not reveal their true emotions in the face of such petty tricks.

Time passed until the sun gradually set, and then the two gods of the six heavens of Luofeng, White Tiger and Vermillion Bird, slowly stepped into the venue.

Behind them, twenty ghosts and gods at the peak of the God Transformation level stood on both sides. They did not make any moves, but just let the aura of the peak God Transformation level spread, making everyone present feel a huge sense of oppression.

However, Xia Yunqiu took a step forward, and the cultivation of the early stage of the transformation of the spirit and the blessing of the main field of human destiny forcibly suppressed

"I'm sorry everyone, the Zhou Jue Yin Palace suddenly sent a message from Fengdu City. It took us some time to receive the message from the Zhou Jue Yin Palace."

"I think you guys wouldn't mind, right?"

Baihu waved his hand and asked everyone.

Although the face hidden in the mist could not be seen clearly, the playful tone could not be concealed.

Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace! The head of the six heavens of Luofeng!

All the ministers present were trembling with fear.

Among the known news about the underworld in Daxia, the significance of Zhou Jueyin Palace, the head of the Six Heavens of Luofeng, is completely different from that of other ghosts and gods.

Zhou Jueyin Tiangong was originally Niu Tou, one of the ten Yin generals. Because he was favored by the rules of the Xuanhuang Realm, Niu Tou was able to exert a powerful cultivation level of the peak of Huanxu while in the Yinsi.

When Niu Tou was deified, he single-handedly fought against a Yama King of the same realm as him. He could be said to be the strongest fighter among the Six Heavens of Luofeng.

More importantly, Niutou is the one who is closest to Fengdu Emperor among all the ghosts and gods known today. He once drove the imperial chariot into Fengdu City for Fengdu Emperor himself.

It can be said that Zhou Jueyin Palace represents the will of Emperor Fengdu to some extent.

As soon as Baihu came up, he brought up Zhou Jueyin Palace, completely blocking anyone who wanted to question him.

The ministers looked at each other, only Xia Yunqiu said with a cold expression:

“It is true that the message from Zhou Jue Yin Tian Gong is more important, but I hope that next time I encounter something similar, I can get a notification from the Lord God.”

Xia Yunqiu's tough attitude was beyond everyone's expectations.

Even though they couldn't see his face clearly, almost all the ministers present could feel that the expression of the joking god immediately turned cold.

At this moment, Suzaku on the side spoke.

“Take a seat!”

These words calmed the impending conflict.

Baihu looked at Xia Yunqiu deeply, then sat down at the long table in the hall.

Xia Yunqiu's performance made many officials' eyes light up, and they showed some appreciation.

But most people were skeptical, and some even whispered sarcastically: "Your acting is really good, it's a pity that you don't become an actor."

Xia Yunqiu ignored him and said after sitting down:

"Let's discuss the specifics of the alliance next. If the two gods have any requests, you can speak up directly."

As soon as the voice fell, Baihu sneered and said:

"We in the underworld will not break the rules, as long as you agree to hand over the five states of Tai, Luo, and the three states of the Southern Region to the jurisdiction of the underworld.

The incense and faith within these five states do not need to be transmitted to the imperial capital, but can be directly transferred to Fengdu City.

The underworld can appoint and dismiss hundreds of city gods in the five states, and the Great Xia court is not allowed to interfere in any way.

In addition, the incense and faith of Ming and Yang states have all returned to the underworld."

After these words were spoken, the ministers who had been keeping calm could no longer sit still.

"What does this mean, Yinsi?"

"How can the position of the City God of Great Xia be decided by you, the underworld?"

"The incense and faith in the seven states, the hundreds of city gods in the five states, the underworld really has a big appetite."

And more people turned their eyes to Xia Yunqiu and said directly:

"I've said it before, Xia Yunqiu was pushed up by the underworld and will definitely disregard the interests of the court!"

"Selling out one's country for personal gain, this is selling out one's country for personal gain!"

"You are unworthy of your status as a princess, and unworthy of the bloodline of the Tianxing He family."

In the meeting room, the conditions put forward by Baihu completely ignited the atmosphere.

Even the faces of the three dukes and nine ministers were filled with anger at this moment, and they wished they could just get up and leave the venue.

Baihu leaned back in his chair, and the power of the Yin God in his proud voice spread to the entire venue, completely suppressing the chaotic noise.

"This is the promise your Majesty made to the underworld. He swore by the fate of the dynasty and it cannot be false.

With this attitude, do you intend to deny Emperor Xia's oath?"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the officials in the court were shocked.

"Is this the promise your majesty made to the underworld?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Everyone present was closely connected with the fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty. The moment Baihu said it, they linked it to the fortune of the dynasty and tried to refute Baihu's absurd words.

But when the feedback of the dynasty's fortune reached them, everyone fell into a daze.

The fluctuations in the dynasty's fortunes confirmed the truthfulness of Baihu's words.

In order to form an alliance with the underworld, the dignified Emperor of Great Xia actually gave up the incense of seven states and the positions of hundreds of city gods in five states.

Moreover, the Xia Emperor swore on the destiny of the dynasty and disregarded the reputation of Great Xia.

This is a unique event in the three thousand years since the establishment of Daxia.

Although what is being traded is the faith and control over the incense and legal domain of the underworld, rather than actual territory.

But everyone knows that as the spiritual energy tide revives, all living beings will undergo earth-shaking changes in the spiritual energy.

Demons and ghosts will gradually integrate into society, but Daxia does not have enough practitioners. If one wants to maintain social stability, using incense and magic to suppress the demons and ghosts is the best option.

The position of the City God and the control of the incense and Buddhist realm also means the control of the present world.

Ceding so many city god positions and incense beliefs is almost the same as ceding territory.

First, he violated the rules of the human ceremony in the court and asked Xia Yunqiu to preside over the ceremony. Later, he split the land of the underworld just to form an alliance with the underworld.

Such an absurd thing refreshed all the court officials' understanding of Emperor Xia.

"What on earth does your majesty want to do?"

"What a tyrant! What a tyrant!"

Even the high-ranking officials in the court who supported the royal power were chilled by the promise made by Emperor Xia.

As for the various forces in the court, the honest ministers did not want to see the territory of Daxia divided, so they naturally expressed opposition.

And those treacherous ministers who seek personal gain do not want to see the underworld seize the position of City God of the five states.

The resources of Daxia are already limited, and various aristocratic families have coveted the position of City God for a long time. Now the underworld has taken away nearly one-third of the profits in one go. As the vested beneficiaries, the aristocratic families are naturally unwilling.

The high-ranking officials in the court fell silent, and the smile on Baihu's face became more intense.

"It seems that everyone has no objection to the promise made by Emperor Xia. In that case..."

"I have an opinion!"

Qingli's voice broke the frozen atmosphere at the moment. Xia Yunqiu took the initiative to stand up from the long table, staring at the White Tiger Envoy in front of him and said:

“Daxia is unwilling, and will not cede so many city god positions to the underworld.

Ever since the Human Emperor came to power, the position of the City God of the Xuanhuang Realm has been controlled by the Humane Dynasty. Even the underworld cannot interfere in the affairs of the City God.

After the connection between heaven and earth was cut off, the underworld was split from the underworld and became a part of the Xuanhuang Realm, but this rule was never broken.

The City Gods only belong to the underworld in name. The ghosts and gods in the underworld can enter the City God Temple to receive incense and offerings, but the City God is still independent of the underworld and is a deity worshipped by the imperial court.

This is a rule that has been followed since ancient times. Could it be that the underworld wants to break this rule that has been in place since ancient times?"

"As far as I know, the King of Fengdu has never expressed his opinion on the fight for the position of City God in the underworld.

Before breaking this rule, did the underworld ask for the opinion of the ancient god Fengdu Dadi?"

Xia Yunqiu spoke eloquently, showing an attitude completely different from that of the other ministers, and directly left Baihu speechless.

"You! You're breaking the agreement!"

"I am from Daxia. How could I give up the interests of Daxia just because of an absurd agreement?"

The ministers also quickly recovered from their resentment towards Emperor Xia and looked at Xia Yunqiu with complicated expressions.

Previously, they believed that Xia Yunqiu was likely bribed by the underworld and betrayed the interests of Da Xia.

Who would have thought that the one who actually betrayed the interests of Da Xia was Emperor Xia himself? Gong Buyu himself rejected the temptation of the underworld and chose to stick to his original intention.

And the ability displayed by Gong Buyu at this moment far exceeded their expectations.

Gong Buyu did not start from the perspective of interests, but played with the rules, involving the will of Emperor Fengdu.

The underworld can ignore everything except the will of the King of Fengdu. Xia Yunqiu used this as an excuse to make the ghosts and gods in the underworld be cautious.

Baihu looked angry, but didn't know how to respond. Zhuque, who was watching coldly on the side, suddenly spoke.

“These conditions were promised by Emperor Xia. Since Emperor Xia broke his promise, there is nothing more to discuss in this meeting.

I will truthfully convey Daxia's attitude to Zhou Jue Yin Tian Gong, and the entire Yin Si will refuse to provide any level of help to the Humane Dynasty."

After he finished speaking, Suzaku turned around and left, his tall figure moving with his long legs towards the gate.

At this moment, Xia Yunqiu suddenly said:

"Daxia is unwilling to trade the position of City God, but there is another thing that you, the underworld, must be interested in."

However, Suzaku had no intention of turning around, but continued walking forward.

“You should know that my mother’s family is the Tianxing He family, which has been passed down for ten thousand years and is considered to be somewhat famous in the entire Xuanhuang Realm.

In the records of my He family, the name of Fengdu Emperor was mentioned. "

Zhuque's footsteps suddenly paused, and then the two Luofeng Six Heavenly Gods and twenty ghosts and gods at the peak of the transformation level all focused their eyes on Xia Yunqiu.

"What do you mean?"

"I just want to make a deal with the underworld."

Zhuque narrowed her eyes and saw the space fluctuate. A light golden talisman appeared in her palm.

“This is a truth talisman drawn by a ghost fairy. No cultivator below the level of a True Lord can lie in front of a truth talisman.

From now on, if you tell a lie, the underworld will make you pay a heavy price!"

Xia Yunqiu looked fearless, and even took the initiative to walk in front of the Mantra Talisman and said:

"There was once a peerless great being who went against the chaos of time and space and created a secret realm by using the method of opening up the world. It was named Fang Cun, which means that the heavens can be contained within a square inch."

"In the Fangcun Secret Realm, there is the true method of the source of the Dao of Refining Qi, a person who is suspected to be the Emperor of Donghua left behind the true meaning of the Great Way of the Sun, and the Emperor of Fengdu also left behind the true words of the underworld.

However, due to various special reasons, the Fang Cun Secret Realm could not be revealed to the world, and it was not until ten thousand years later that it had the opportunity to be reborn."

The mantra talisman had no reaction, and no matter whether it was the kings, dukes, ministers, or ghosts and gods in the underworld, their hearts were attracted by Xia Yunqiu's words.

Xia Yunqiu said solemnly, word by word:

"I am willing to exchange the method of entering the Fangcun Secret Realm for an alliance between the Yinsi and Daxia!"
