On the outskirts of Fuyuan City, the huge Congxing Manor is located in the northeast corner. This manor was bought by a mysterious person many years ago. The mysterious person did not want anyone to get close to it, so he asked a Taoist priest to set up a fog formation around it, so this area is engulfed by fog all year round, and the sun is not visible.

Later, this place was abandoned for a hundred years and was taken back by the Lord of Fuyuan City and rented out again. This time it was in the hands of Du Yunyi, the daughter of the Five Emperors.

Du Yunyi rented this place for three reasons.

The most crucial point is that because of its remote location, especially far away from the imperial capital, if one wants to achieve something, one must first have a completely enclosed place to live.

Ever since her brother, the Fourth Emperor, was killed in a political conspiracy, she had some plans.

Although Yangdu does not emphasize the system of female inheritance like Yindu, the cultures of the two countries have been blending for more than a thousand years. They have only been unified into two countries from the chaotic era of princes. The emperors of both sides did not erase the various ideas of the past, but allowed various cultures to be integrated.

As an emperor who only cares about results and benefits, whoever can help him accomplish things will have the power to control more resources. The saying that the competent get the job is also subtly demonstrated in the courts of these two countries.

Emperor Yangdu seemed dim-witted, but he knew how to employ people. Most of his children showed ambitions, which were exactly the same as when he was young. After having a certain number of children, he always avoided contact with the harem under the pretext of cultivation. The interference of those pillow talk was not enough to change his determination - he wanted to see who was qualified to inherit his throne.

When he was young, he followed his grandfather and father to fight in all directions, eroding and annexing all the surrounding cities and counties, and expanding the territory of his kingdom again and again. He knew that the strong were supreme, and that force must be used first, and only in this way could they achieve an overwhelming victory in terms of strength. He believed in and firmly passed on this idea.

The situations of those emperor's sons and daughters were clear at a glance.

Originally, the fourth emperor's son was the most likely person to inherit Yangdu in Emperor Du's mind, because he was brave and good at fighting in his early years, guarding the border, just like he was in his youth. However, he eventually died in a fratricidal murder.

The murderer was the sixth prince. When the matter was exposed, the sixth prince also paid the same price for it. Even the entire mansion and his mother were greatly implicated. Once they fell to the bottom, there was no recovery.

Correspondingly, the Fifth Emperor's daughter, as the younger sister of the Fourth Emperor's son, received more care and support.

This result was not because the emperor was merciful and avenging his son.

The Sixth Prince was sentenced to beheading for treason and murder. This was stupid in the eyes of Emperor Du. If he had not been caught in the open, he would not have executed him. Instead, he would have considered whether he was worth cultivating.

The result is obvious, no.

However, Du Yunyi doesn't think so.

She always felt that there was something fishy about her brother's death, but it just so happened that a very suitable person appeared at the right time, and that person was her sixth brother.

Then, the complete evidence was laid out in front of everyone. Even if the emperor wanted to spare his sixth son's life, it would damage the dignity of the imperial family. Those who bear this crime must pay a severe price.

But with all the coincidences coming together, Du Yunyi secretly sensed something was wrong. The more perfect it was, the more she felt that someone was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

Only the Prince Du Ye could use such a straightforward and violent method. Her brother was second to none in terms of military strength. Although Du Ye was not her brother's opponent, he had a powerful family behind him and was protected by the gods, which no other prince or princess had.

After years of investigation, Du Yunyi found a new clue in Fuyuan City. In order to avoid being discovered by Du Ye's people, she chose to live in the desolate and dilapidated manor. The fog array there had a loophole, and one had to go through a place similar to a secret passage to enter the manor, and the entrance would change at any time. Only the person who rented the house knew the entrance pattern.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the secret of the manor entrance was eventually known to people.

At that time, Du Ximiao was discussing important matters with Du Yunyi, and Ming Hao was also with Du Yunyi. Du Ximiao already knew who the Yunqiao Fairy was when he entered the secret realm, and he explained everything before this cooperation. After all, honesty between both parties is the first principle of cooperation. Secondly, it is to combine the resources of the two to test how much the other party can contribute in this cooperation.

However, before he could continue, Xiaoyu, who was guarding the door, hurried in and said, "Xiaoyu has discovered that something very powerful is approaching here. Xiaoyu is no match for it."

After hearing this, Ming Hao and A Diao looked at each other, both of them were a little shocked, because they didn't seem to notice anything wrong. Xiaoyu looked like just a little girl, but she was undoubtedly the strongest among the few people. Even she said so, there was no way she could escape.

Ming Hao made a prompt decision: "Let's go quickly to the secret passage!" She escorted Du Yunyi, A Diao protected Du Ximiao, and Xiaoyu observed the enemy situation from behind.

The secret passage of the manor was built by our ancestors. To be honest, this secret passage is a bit useless - it is located under an ancient tree in the manor, not in the room.

Several people quickly ran towards the ancient forest near the secret passage. The approaching murderous intent was getting closer and closer, and even Du Yunyi, who had not achieved a very high level of cultivation, noticed it.

The pressure made the five people feel uncomfortable in their hearts. Perhaps Du Ximiao had never practiced it before and was not very sensitive to it. Her reaction was better.

While everyone was quickly adjusting their breathing, Du Ximiao followed the rules of the secret passage and found an ancient tree with red, yellow and green leaves on the top of the tree. He pulled out the leaves, and a door opened from the thick trunk of the secret passage.

"Hurry, hurry down!" Du Ximiao called out to everyone. Looking at the bottomless black hole, she bit her lip, closed her eyes and jumped down. Then Du Yunyi also jumped down.

"Don't even think about escaping! You will all die here!" An angry roar came from behind, as loud as a bell, shaking the earth.

Xiaoyu was almost exposed on the spot by the shock, and could not move for a while. Ah Diao also felt dizzy and lost his direction. The sound seemed to be very lethal to the demons.

Ming Hao, who went down first, found that the other two had not gone down yet, so she returned the same way. She saw a strange but tall figure in the mist, getting closer and closer. She immediately dragged A Diao down first, and then went back to pick up Xiao Yu.

When Ming Hao returned to the entrance of the secret passage again, he found that Xiaoyu was gone.

And when the figure passes through the last layer of fog, he will be able to see the secret passage.

Ming Hao immediately chose to close the channel.

I can only feel sorry for Xiaoyu.

And the next moment, the man's figure moved under the ancient tree in an instant.

Fortunately, the secret passage had been completely blocked by branches from the tree trunk.
