Chapter 620 Fighting
Chapter 620
Those who can enter the council chamber and participate in discussions are all extraordinary people.

Hearing that 'Emperor Zang' was about to revive, everyone had different expressions.

Yu Lingzhu and Jia Yi turned their heads and looked at each other, with shock and fear in their eyes, as well as a hint of imperceptible joy.

Those who knew about 'Emperor Zang' were filled with panic, while those who didn't know felt the solemn expressions of the crowd and felt uneasy, but they did not dare to ask any questions. They could only secretly remember Feng Du's words in their hearts and planned to inquire privately after the meeting.

"Everyone knows that once it revives, it will first piece together its true form. You all know what kind of disaster it will cause even without me telling you."

Feng Du looked at everyone coldly.

Yu Lingzhu was delighted at first.

The evil spirit law of Fengdu is an open secret of the Demon Suppression Bureau headquarters: his ghost domain can trap (or devour) evil spirits, like a terrifying ghost town.

And the biggest evil ghost trapped and suppressed in his ghost town is Emperor Zang - Zang Junji, the only emperor general of the Demon Suppression Bureau that day.

This also means that if Zang Junji revives, his death will be in the form of a fiefdom.

After Zang Junji's death, Feng Du was actually the real person in charge of the Demon Suppression Division.

Yu Lingzhu, Jia Yi and others were under him and were suppressed by him, and they were unable to turn things around.

Even if others cooperate and compete with Fengdu, neither side can do anything to the other.

If Feng Du dies, Yu Lingzhu, Jia Yi and others will be able to immediately take control of the Demon Suppression Division, which is a good thing for them.

But as Feng Du said the last sentence, Yu Lingzhu felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her head and she instantly woke up.

If Feng Du died, it would mean that Zang Junji would escape.

If the evil ghost revives, how will Yu Lingzhu, Jia Yi and others seal Zang Junji and clean up this mess?

At the critical moment of life and death, Yu Lingzhu finally calmed down.

"So it is imperative to collect the plaques of the five cities." Feng Du saw the changes in the eyes of Yu Lingzhu and others, and said lightly.

Yu Lingzhu was silent for a while, then asked:
"Fengdu, you all know the importance of the plaque. Your reasons are sufficient. I agree with you in putting away the plaque."

She paused, then raised another question:
"But after the plaque is collected, who will manage it? And Wang Ling is right. What will we use to suppress the five cities after we lose the plaque?"

She said:
"You are an elder in the Demon Suppression Division, and everyone respects you. Since you brought up this matter, you should be responsible for cleaning up the mess."

Fengdu said:

"I raised the question, and naturally I also came up with a solution." He looked at Yu Lingzhu:
"Let's get back to the original topic. I propose to confer the title of King General on Zhao Fusheng. After the plaques of the five cities are withdrawn, they will be handed over to her for management. At the same time, when the plaques are withdrawn, she will naturally be responsible for placing the ghost seals on the five cities."

When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.

Jia Yi lost his voice and said:
"Can the ghost seal she cast suppress five cities?"

Fengdu was silent.

Zhao Fusheng finally spoke up after hearing this:

"I am here myself. If you have such doubts, why don't you ask me?"

Only then did Jia Yi look at her.

Memories from 58 years ago suddenly appeared in his mind.

At that time, he had just controlled the ghost minions for a short time, and faced with the headless ghost case that occurred at the time, he was unable to solve it. Instead, he was worried that the headless ghost would affect him and cause chaos in the capital, so Jia Yi was protected at the time.

Later, after the ghost disaster was resolved, he met Zhao Fusheng, who left a deep impression on him.

This person's origins are unknown, but she can completely suppress evil spirits. It's as if she is borrowing the power of the ghosts at will, and is not affected by the shadow of the evil spirits' backlash.

When they met again now, she still looked the same as Jia Yi remembered.

He suddenly felt apprehensive.

But while he was wary, Jia Yi remembered that the reason why Zhao Fusheng had not changed in 58 years was because of the reincarnation ghost car.

He had truly experienced 58 years of time. During these years, his knowledge and understanding of ghosts were deeper than Zhao Fusheng's. She was just a young ghost rider who had deceived time.

Thinking of this, he calmed down a bit.

"Okay then," Jia Yi calmed down:
"Since you said so, let me ask you directly, do you think you have the strength of a king general? Why should you keep the Five Cities Plaque? How can you convince us that you can protect it? And why do you think that the Five Cities Ghost Seals you made can replace the existence of the plaque? Do you know that these ghost seals are made up of the remains of Zang Junji?"

"If I can't keep the Five Cities plaque, then you can't keep it either." Zhao Fusheng said:
"If you don't believe me, you can take it back from me after I take down the plaque if you have the ability."

She looked at Jia Yi:
"58 years ago, I entered the ghost realm of Fengdu and saw the remains of Zang Junji. It was me who lent the plaque in my hand to suppress the gate of the ghost realm. Otherwise, the evil spirits would get out of control and you would not have the chance to question me here."

Zhao Fusheng was calm and composed:
"I lent the plaque to you, so it's only natural for me to take some of it back now. After I take the plaque, if there are any problems in the five cities of the Imperial Capital in the future, I will take care of the aftermath." After saying this, she looked around:
"Any questions?"

Everyone was intimidated by her aura for a moment, and no one spoke for a long time.

After a while, someone behind Yu Lingzhu spoke again:
"Master Zhao, nowadays, no one can guarantee how long they can live. You said you would clean up the mess, but who knows when you will lose control?"

Meng Po was unhappy when she heard this:

"If you die, our master will be in a stable condition. If you can't wait, I can give you a ride first."

As she spoke, murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

Yu Lingzhu showed a look of surprise on her face.

The people of Wan'an County are surprisingly stubborn and show no intention of calming down when they enter the imperial capital.

Everyone who can enter this place is extraordinary. Could it be that the people of Wan'an County are not afraid of offending others because they have the support of Fengdu?
The man became furious after hearing what Meng Po said.

But the situation in the meeting hall is special. The ground in this hall was once suppressed by Zang Junji's blood, and the evil spirits cannot be revived here. Once the power of the evil spirits is used, they will be retaliated by this place.

"Humph!"

Thinking of this, the man suppressed his anger, looked at Meng Po deeply, and memorized the old woman's face in his heart.

When Jia Yi heard what Zhao Fusheng said, he was not angry, but glanced at Fengdu.

Seeing that Feng Du did not refute, he knew that what Zhao Fusheng said was true.

He thought about it in his mind and put his hands into his sleeves:
"Fengdu, why don't you just tell us your plan directly, and let everyone vote to decide in the end."

Feng Du smiled:
"Then I will directly tell you my plan." He paused for a moment, and looked around the meeting room. Seeing that no one spoke, he continued:

"As I said before, I intend to ask for Zhao Fusheng to be appointed as a general and give her a ghost case to prove her ability within three months. If she completes the case within the deadline, I will ask the emperor to seal it."

No one dared to interrupt him, Feng Du continued:
"In addition, Meng Po and Kuai Manzhou have already reached the level of gold generals, and the cases they have handled are also enough to be promoted to generals, so they will be promoted to generals at the same time."

Yu Lingzhu recalled the way Feng Du looked at her before, and felt vaguely uneasy:

"If the request is successful, Zhao Fusheng will be the Lord of Five Cities in the future. Doesn't that mean he will have more power?"

Feng Du laughed:
"Lingzhu, if her power can suppress the Five Cities, what difference does it make whether the Five Cities Town Demon Bureau is nominally under her control?"

Yu Lingzhu was speechless.

She thought that if Zhao Fusheng took control of Wucheng, wouldn't all the people there be under her control? She was about to speak when Zhao Fusheng said:

"I don't plan to stay in Teikyo for now."

Fengdu smiled:

"You can return to Xuzhou with your position, but there is a ghost disaster in the capital now, and I have summoned you to help deal with it. Is that okay?" Zhao Fusheng agreed but did not say anything.

Her statement made Jia Yi and Yu Lingzhu feel slightly relieved.

Yu Lingzhu said again:
"But if Zhao Fusheng asks for the title of king general but returns to Xuzhou, what will Xuzhou Feng Guangchong do? He is Jiang Jinshan's man."

Who is Jiang Jinshan?

Zhao Fusheng looked at Xie Jingsheng.

Xie Jingsheng winked at her and moved his lips: I’ll tell you when we leave the meeting room later.

Zhao Fusheng suppressed his thoughts and looked at Yu Lingzhu again, listening to her say:
"Jiang Jinshan and Yizhi go in and out together, inseparable."

Fengdu said:

"I am only in charge of appointing generals. Whether Zhao Fusheng takes up the post of the Five Cities or stays in the Imperial Capital is her business." He looked at Yu Lingzhu:
"Whether she returns to Xuzhou, whether she offends Feng Guangchong, and whether Jiang Jinshan and Wang Zhiyi are satisfied or not, these are matters for both parties to resolve. What does it have to do with me?"

"..."

Yu Lingzhu didn't expect Feng Du to answer like this and was stunned.

Everyone was silent for a while, and Jia Yi asked again:
"Since you have arranged everything, where do you plan to let Zhao Fusheng go for the ghost case that he requested to be sealed?"

When everyone heard this, their eyelids twitched and they couldn't help but look up.

Feng Du was well prepared and said:
"I plan to invite her to Lizhou——"

He paused for a moment when he said this.

Yu Lingzhu's eyelids twitched, and a bad premonition suddenly came to her mind.

Everyone started to think about it, and then heard Feng Du say:
"I have looked up ghost cases over the years and found an old case in Wuqing County, Lizhou—"

"no!"

Yu Lingzhu said decisively:
"Fengdu, you are clearly letting me win on purpose."

"Where do you come from?" Feng Du looked at her calmly.

When it comes to her family, Yu Lingzhu lost her composure and said impatiently:

"You know Lizhou is my territory—"

The others did not object when they heard this, even Feng Du did not say anything.

After Yu Lingzhu finished speaking, she realized that she had lost her composure, and then she took a breath and said:
"My home is there. Years ago, people said there was a ghost disaster there. Later, I went back there myself and didn't see any ghosts. The county is very peaceful."

Speaking frankly, she did not shy away from the fact that she had returned to Wuqing County:
"I stayed in the county for ten days, nothing happened, and I returned to the capital safely. This shows that the so-called ghost case is just a rumor."

Yu Lingzhu was angered by Fengdu's request to invite Zhao Fusheng to Lizhou. She said bluntly:

"Are you trying to take this opportunity to support Zhao Fusheng and deliberately assign her this task? Feng Du, you are my senior and entered the Demon Suppression Division years before me. If you want to suppress me, you don't have to use this method."

Feng Du shook his head:

"Lord Zhao's strength does not need me to show off. After a long time, the real thing can no longer be hidden, and the fake can no longer be real."

He looked up at Yu Lingzhu:

"As for Wuqing County, whether there are ghosts or not, Lord Zhao will know after he takes a trip there."

Yu Lingzhu was furious when she heard this: "You mean I lied?"

"As I said before, what's true won't be false, and what's false won't be true." Feng Du met her eyes.
"If there is no ghost disaster in Wuqing County, Lord Zhao will return empty-handed at most. What are you afraid of?"

At this time, Yu Lingzhu no longer cared whether Feng Du was deliberately trying to support his own people to take the position - he mentioned that there was something fishy in Wuqing County, and insisted on making Zhao Fusheng go to Lizhou, which made Yu Lingzhu very uneasy.

She realized that Fengdu might no longer be able to tolerate the Chang family.

But why? The Chang family did take Wuqing as its base camp and had formed a powerful family for decades.

But who among all the ghost riders in the world is not like this? Why does Fengdu, a king who rides big ghosts, have to make things difficult for ordinary people?
Yu Lingzhu felt murderous intent in his heart.

A murderous aura began to emanate from her.

The Chang family is her weak spot, and as long as she is alive she will never allow anyone to plot against Wu Qing.

But as soon as she moved, Fengdu also began to surge with black energy.

Then the others saw a sudden flash of red light in the council chamber, and the walls, the ground and the roof beams above their heads seemed to come alive in an instant.

Blood began to seep out from the wall, and blood began to gather in the center of the roof beam.

The ghosts in everyone are suppressed, and the 'ghost' in the council chamber is about to wake up.

Blood began to spread, and Wang Ling was the first to feel the heavy pressure.

Invisible forces suppressed from all directions.

In about an instant, Wang Ling heard a "click" sound in his ears.

"Is the beam above my head broken?" This thought came to his mind. When he looked up at the beam, he saw that the beam had been stained with blood without him knowing when.

It was crisscrossed with blood threads like old spider webs, and the ground became soft, like a bloody piece of meat, and his feet had sunk into it.

A force was pressing down on him from above, and there were invisible 'hands' pulling at his legs from below.

At the critical moment, Wang Ling knew that something was wrong, so he didn't care about the rule that the 'Council Hall' could not use the power of evil spirits.

He immediately wanted to summon the evil spirit.

But his call did not receive any response from the ghost.

He seemed to have become an ordinary person without any strength, unable to fight back when being swallowed by the haunted house.

At the same time, in the council chamber, those with weaker strength were silently crushed by the power of the ghosts, turning into bloody mud and seeping into the ground.

When Wang Ling thought he was doomed, his body trembled.

A chill rose into the sky, and then the terrifying crushing pressure like a mountain pressing down on him disappeared in an instant.

A cold female voice shouted:
"Everyone get out!"

With this shout, the pressure on all those who were surrounded by blood suddenly eased.

Everyone was in a panic, not caring that Feng Du, Yu Lingzhu and the others hadn't said a word yet, and they all jumped out of the house.

Yu Lingzhu, Feng Du and others also fled out of the council chamber.

The door of the pavilion was wide open, and all the ghost riders were in a mess, crowded in front of the hall.

Everyone turned their heads to look - they saw flashes of blood in the gate, ghosts crying and wolves howling, and a ball of black air surrounded by evil spirits.

In the black air, Zhao Fusheng's back was bent, as if he was carrying a mountain, and he held up the ball of blood.

The roof beams twisted, and at the moment when the red blood was about to devour her, a black shadow flashed under her feet, and then her figure disappeared on the spot. When she reappeared, she was already standing outside the meeting room.
