Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 884: Being in the right position
Stupid hell.

"He's killing like crazy! He's killing like crazy! That masked madman has gone to the Feng family and caused a lot of noise! ​​Everyone on the whole street knows about it. No! Many people on several streets have seen it! How can we do anything about it!"

"Stop talking. I just found out that the masked madman went to the Shi family and killed two people there before he stopped! He disappeared without a trace!"

"Master, we really can't just leave it alone this time! Now people are talking about why Yudi Mansion is ineffective, and some are even saying that we are protecting the masked man and are in cahoots with him. Everyone is scared and panicked..."

Listening to the intelligence reports summarized by several subordinates, Ya Qingli's head hurt, veins on his forehead bulged, and his fists clenched.

She now has two things weighing on her mind, which makes her almost unable to sleep at night.

The first one is the demon Diao Deyi from Tianyuan Town. After leaving Ouyang Mansion, his whereabouts became a mystery. It seemed that there was an organization behind him to help cover up his movements. Even the Yudi Mansion could not catch him.

The second is what is happening right now.

This masked man who suddenly appeared was killing members of various families, causing panic among the people.

To be precise, it should be the monster that is in a panic.

The common people at the bottom only knew that people from the major families were murdered one after another, but they didn’t know...that those who died were actually the bodies of demons!

Some people, even as the lord of the foolish underworld, only know after realizing it.

The foolish underworld may be the dominant local governments in other towns and has a unique status.

However, in such a huge capital city, they were just a department under Shuntian Prefecture. There were seven other departments at the same level as Shuntian Prefecture. What was Yudi Prefecture to them?

Therefore, some secret information and hidden things are unknown to them in Yudifu.

Now the masked men are killing people everywhere, but they are following behind like wiping their butts, dealing with the aftermath, helping to cover up the truth that the dead are demons, and cooperating with the dead's family to act together.

This kind of thing was what Ya Qingli despised the most in the past, but now it is something she has to do.

pressure.

The pressure sent by the lower class and the people around them and the pressure sent by the upper class are conflicting.

As the Lord of Yudi Mansion, Ya Qingli wanted to bring the masked man to justice and execute him on the spot. To this end, she did not hesitate to mobilize all the personnel and forces of Yudi Mansion in the capital.

Such bad behavior, such rampant things, she must take down the masked man directly!
As for the fact that the masked man killed demons, it had nothing to do with her, at least it had nothing to do with her current position. She was called the Lord of Yudi Mansion, but that was just a job to handle and settle things for the higher-ups.

They are different from the ordinary people's stereotype of the foolish underworld who specializes in killing demons. When necessary, they may even need to work for the demons... as long as it is an order from above.

The card owner.

Ya Qingli felt that her status and everything she had endured until now were all mediocre.

My head started to hurt again.

Snapped!
She grabbed her head with five fingers, and her fingernails slowly dug into her scalp, bleeding. Only then did she recover a little.

If it was just the pressure from the people, the pressure from the bottom, and the pressure around her, she could actually withstand it.

But the current situation is that the person above asked her to block all the 'rumors' and suppress the heat of the matter, so that the masked man would become like a transparent man and would not be mentioned by anyone.

Of course, she couldn't do this kind of thing, but she could only try her best.

The result of this is that the subordinates do not understand, the disapproval of the members of the foolish underworld, and the emotional hedging between the top and the bottom, put her in the middle.

On the one hand, Ya Qingli just wants to kill the monster, kill the monster, and then kill the monster.

On the other hand, she must play the role of the Lord of the Underworld, so that the subordinates who are willing to follow her along the way will convince them and protect their jobs.

In this position, Ya Qingli also has many difficulties.

This kind of accumulated torture, as well as the high degree of demonization, made her mentally increasingly unstable.

dong dong dong.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Ya Qingli frowned and asked.

"it's me."

This guy...what is he doing here at this time?
After thinking for a while, Ya Qingli said.

"……Come in."

Seeing the person coming, the subordinates who came to report straightened their expressions and bowed their heads respectfully.

"Master Qian."

"Greetings, Master Qian!"

The person who came was actually Hall Master Qian. He just casually bowed to Ya Qingli and spoke directly without caring that there were many people inside.

"Someone from Shuntian Prefecture has arrived."

"Again?"

Ya Qingli's head started to hurt again.

Originally she was just trying to hunt down the demon Diao Deyi in Tianyuan Town. She was quite enthusiastic and motivated.

Now that she has become a business for Shuntian Mansion, she has begun to be restrained and can't use any means.

The Master Qiantang had no feelings at all, but smiled casually.

"We haven't gotten things done yet, and today the masked man has caused so many murders. It would be strange if the higher-ups weren't anxious."

The way Master Qian looked like he was simply a matter of no matter what he was doing.

This made Ya Qingli very unhappy.

But each has his own place.

There are some positions that she cannot promote people to just because she wants to.

The position of hall master has been divided up long ago. If she dares to touch anyone, she will be touching someone else's cake, the cake of the power behind Hall Master Qian.

By then, Ya Qingli's position as the Palace Master will become unstable.

So on the surface, when core interests are not involved, everyone acts together politely according to their official positions and obeys the orders of the Lord of the Mansion.

If you really touch the bottom line, you will turn your back on your face and will not give you any good face.

Ya Qingli, the Lord of the Mansion, seems to be in a high position on the surface, but in fact he is restricted in many ways. This is the result of compromise among all parties.

"I understand. Have someone wait in the lobby. I'll be there soon."

As Ya Qingli said in a deep voice, Master Qian smiled and stepped down.

The matter of masked people makes the underworld so stupid that it is now in a mess.

As for Diao Deyi's matter, no matter how much Ya Qingli wanted to take action, she had to suppress it for the time being, although this would only make her head hurt more and make her more irritable.

"You continue to gather information and report back at any time."

"Yes!"

After giving orders to his men, Ya Qingli walked out with a gloomy face.

There are also many political parties in Yudi Palace.

Although she recruited many talented people during her tenure, the highest position she could offer them was captain level.

No one from our own country can get to a position like that of hall master.

She has worked hard in this direction, but the obstacles she encountered are extraordinary and far beyond her expectations.

Although the Yuwu Mansion is not one of the eight veins, it has a special status and convenience enough, so it is also watched by many forces.

"Shuntian Prefecture, masked man..."

Thinking about this, she strode on the road.

She was thinking too focused and looking for a way to break the deadlock, but she didn't notice that Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong were walking towards this side.

"Lord Palace Master!"

"Master Mansion Lord..." Ya Qingli stopped.

She saw the two of them but just frowned.

"If anything happens, we'll talk about it later."

After that, he ignored the two of them and headed straight for the lobby.

What happened to Diao Deyi was her own guess and her own private action.

The masked man this time is the one who has been assigned the task, and it is something that must be completed.

One is public, the other is private. It goes without saying which one is more important.

To take a step back, in terms of the impact of the incident, the masked man incident definitely takes priority.

Therefore, the two people who were related to Diao Deyi and were used to lure the snake out of its hole naturally fell to the back of the ranking.

Linghu Xiang and Song Zhenrong were stunned, but did not dare to say anything. They could only lower their heads and respond.

only……

Almost at the same time, they both recalled the gossip they heard this morning.

"First, Diao De defeated the Lu brothers of the Lu family and the Lu family in a row, and asked us to arrest them urgently. Then a masked man appeared and committed a series of crimes in the capital. Recently, it has been a real troublesome situation in the capital."

Diao Deyi? !
The two of them exclaimed in their hearts almost at the same time, but they did not dare to express themselves.

This is because the person who spread this gossip was a member of the Yudifu team, and he wanted to capture Diao Deyi.

Given their relationship with Fang Yu, it was naturally impossible for them to capture Fang Yu.

But if the relationship is made public, there may be trouble.

Although Linghu Xiang was excited because she finally got news about Fang Yu, under the circumstances, she wanted to find out what was going on first. It would be best if she could get some inside information to help Fang Yu escape and avoid being arrested.

Song Zhenrong also had a very similar idea, but the two were forced to act together, but they were not aware of each other's fact that they knew Fang Yu, so they both pretended to be emotional changes on the surface.

Both of them wanted to ask about the information, but all they could get was the cold reaction of the members of the Yuwu Underworld team, and they didn't want to talk nonsense to both of them at all.

You know, one of them is the owner of the Yu Underworld in Rolling Bone City, and the other is the former captain. After all, it can be considered a person within the Yu Underworld. I don’t know why this treatment is in the capital.

In addition, since they were called to the headquarters of Yudifu, they have not actually stepped out of the door.

It was like house arrest, imprisoning both of them at the headquarters of the Yu Underworld and not allowed to go out for a second.

After thinking about it, Linghu Xiang decided to go to the palace master to talk, which was exactly what Song Zhenrong wanted.

Unfortunately, both of them were rejected.

The lord of the foolish underworld is not interested in them at all now.

"Diao Deyi..."

Linghu Xiang was secretly anxious, fearing that something might happen to Fang Yu.

Fortunately, judging from the intelligence we have obtained so far, and seeing that so many members of the Yudifu team have returned empty-handed, Fang Yu should not have been in trouble.

Otherwise, they would have brought the person back now.

But how long can this last? This is the foolish underworld in the capital! In the capital city, how long can an outsider hide?

Linghu Xiang was worried about Fang Yu's safety and was a little confused. Then, she noticed Song Zhenrong's gaze staring at her.

"You seem... very impatient?" Song Zhenrong asked hesitantly.

But what he received was only Linghu Xiang's cold stare.

She has no interest in this second generation.

Song Zhenrong was rejected by Ya Qingli and also by Linghu Xiang, so he was a little angry.

But when he thought of his sister Song Xi, and when Fang Yu was in the capital, and when there was news, he endured it.

Finding Fang Yu is equivalent to finding my sister!

He must use the intelligence from the Yudi Mansion in the capital to find out Fang Yu's location and meet him in person!

The two of them had their own ideas, but they coincidentally chose not to talk to each other.

Because Fang Yu was wanted, they heard the news together.

No one knows what the other party thinks or who they are, so it is impossible to discuss this matter.

As the meeting in the lobby ended, when Ya Qingli came out...

"Lord Palace Master!"

"Master, please stay!"

The two of them spoke, but Ya Qingli did not stop walking. She just turned around and glanced at them coldly.

This glance scared the two of them.

The cold aura was as if they would be killed in the next second if they said another word!
Such a strong anger! ?

The two were shocked and stopped, but Ya Qingli's figure had already walked away.

When Linghu Xiang came back to her senses, her brows slowly frowned.

Glancing at the man next to her, she finally couldn't help herself and whispered.

"Do you feel that we are under house arrest?"

They can't go out of the main gate, and they can see patrolling guards from the Yudi Palace wherever they go, staring at them from time to time.

This is not an illusion, but a fact.

Song Zhenrong had been a captain and was a capable man, so he could naturally sense that something was wrong. The treatment they received here was very unusual, almost like suspects, rather than members of the Yudifu team.

"Do you have any idea?"

Song Zhenrong asked back conservatively.

This kind of temptation made Linghu Xiang feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't wait.

Whether it was the reaction of the lord of the Yu Underworld or the pursuit of Fang Yu from the outside world, she could not stand by on the spot.

and so……

"I want to leave Yudi Mansion and go outside to get some information."

"...I was thinking the same thing, but we can't leave right now. There are people watching us everywhere. If we leave openly, we will be stopped."

Hearing Song Zhenrong continue to say what she meant, Linghu Xiang frowned instead. She did not feel any happiness or joy, but only deep suspicion.

Anyone who heard her say this would probably first doubt, then question, and would only be willing to help if she gave a reason or something.

Except for the kind of brainless pursuit, Linghu Xiang couldn't think of anyone who would directly express her support for her opinion.

This also made Linghu Xiang misunderstand Song Zhenrong even more, and she even felt a little disgusted with him.

The most important thing is, is it safe to act with Song Zhenrong? He may say this, but he might sell her out the next time.

The only information that gave her a slight sense of security was that the two of them were under house arrest together.

So no matter what the reason is for the other party being under house arrest, he should want to regain his freedom.

I can't. I've been under house arrest until death in the underworld and never go out, right?
After thinking about it, Linghu Xiang decided to trust Song Zhenrong for a short time.

We’ll talk about everything after we escape from Yudi Mansion.

At worst, as soon as you leave this place, you will act separately and have no more connections with this person.

Thinking of this, Linghu Xiang lowered her voice.

"I have a plan."
