Chapter 150: 105, 106. Rebellion in the Six Towns, Song Cheng acts behind the scenes (Big Chapter - Subscription Request)

Today’s Dashang was riddled with sects, resembling "warlord fragmentation."

Therefore, the sudden outbreak of the northern forces in Hanping Prefecture truly caught the Five and a Half Hall of the Northern Snow State Mansion off guard.

At the outbreak’s first moment, the Great Hall Master immediately sent people to appease all sides and refute the various rumors from the north, but... no matter how he argued, the rumors spread like sparks in an oil pan and could not be stopped.

This past year, civilians and soldiers suffered countless casualties.

The suffering endured by the people was immeasurable.

Now, these pains and anger seemed to have found a vent.

On the streets, even beggars who didn’t know what the "Five and a Half Hall" was would join in the cursing, confidently asserting that the north had a human traitor. Otherwise, why was the Ghost Tide so terrifying? Why did it not appear before?

The source of all calamity was the Five and a Half Hall.

Everyone’s suffering was because of the Five and a Half Hall!

The rumors quickly escalated and spontaneously evolved from initial claims of "human traitor" into allegations that "the actions of the Northern Snow State’s Five and a Half Hall incurred divine wrath, hence the calamity."

At this time, the Great Hall Master of the Five and a Half Hall was in a state of extreme anger. This lavishly dressed, sword-wielding superior walked back and forth in the hall, intermittently listening to terrible information relayed from outside, his temper flaring.

Like Hanping Prefecture, many experts of the Five and a Half Hall were also dispatched elsewhere, and there were not many truly staying in the State City.

However, unlike the organizational structure of the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall in Hanping Prefecture, the Five and a Half Hall controlled two Prefectural Cities, its scale, whether in terms of members or experts, three to four times larger than the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall.

Therefore, he had confidence.

Soon, a member rushed in from outside to report: "Great Hall Master, we followed your instructions to spread the word, stating that Hanping Prefecture was instead framing us, and those truly colluding with the Ghost Servants were them... Ultimately..."

"What was the outcome?"

"Ultimately, things improved a bit in the State City, but it seemed to have no effect outside."

"Impossible!"

The Great Hall Master rubbed his forehead in distress.

He plopped onto the grand master chair in the middle of the hall, pondered while supporting his head, and immediately waved his hand, signaling his subordinate to leave.

After that disciple departed, he bit his lip as if making a decision. He hurriedly went to a hidden place in the rear yard of the Five and a Half Hall, activated a mechanism, revealing an entrance in the ground. Sunlight gradually illuminated the increasingly deep stairs downward.

The Great Hall Master hurriedly descended the stairs, and the copper wall lamps on both sides gradually lit up, revealing the staircase’s length.

In the shifting light and shadows, the Great Hall Master reached the end.

At the end was a door.

The Great Hall Master knocked respectfully.

Soon, the door opened, releasing a strange medicinal aroma from inside.

Regardless of the scent, the piercing cold was enough to freeze an ordinary person or even a normal Martial Artist.

The Great Hall Master’s hair and nose resembled frost-covered straw, becoming stiff and frost-white in an instant. He slightly exercised his vital energy and blood to melt the ice. Raising his eyes, he saw two black-clad warriors watching him with indifferent expressions, and another two who were not watching because... the two were blind.

The Great Hall Master’s pupils contracted slightly, his body tensed.

He recognized these black-clad warriors.

He had personally sent them here.

They were Medicinal Humans!

But the black-clad warriors sent had merely been ordinary Qi Realm experts; now transformed into Medicinal Humans, he could not guess their strength.

Medicinal Human, he had heard of it. This thing typically elevated "Force Realm" to "Form Realm," but "enhancing Qi Realm further" was something he had never heard of.

For a simple reason, there were no quality materials like that.

"Elevating Force Realm to Form Realm" was the limit the Noble Family could achieve because these materials were self-produced and self-sold, but reaching higher required obtaining certain supernatural elements from evil spirits.

"Lord."

The Great Hall Master greeted respectfully.

As his voice fell, a curtain in the underground chamber was drawn open.

A man with a handsome face like a demon, tall and regal—almost any woman’s dream lover—stepped out.

The handsome man asked, "What is it?"

The Great Hall Master ruefully recounted everything that had happened in recent days, then said, "I had already made arrangements to provoke on the pretext of challenging the name of the Northern Region Blade King. Labeling him and the evil spirits as connected through his eyes to muddy the waters.

Simultaneously, I planned to kidnap his wife and daughter.

I heard he had a wife pregnant.

As long as we captured them, we could coerce and threaten the Northern Region Blade King, driving him mad, turning him into a pawn in our palm.

But now..."

The handsome man interrupted with an overlord’s authority, speaking softly: "No matter.

The Northern Region Blade King is just a minor character claiming supremacy in a tiger-less mountain.

No matter how small characters prance around, they cannot affect the big picture.

The hatred between Lady Zhushan and the little thing Su Ningyu is irreconcilable. She will surely lead the Barbarian Army to Hanping Prefecture.

I heard Su Ningyu went out of the city to deal with the evil spirit.

She would surely return heavily injured.

At that time, Lady Zhushan, aggressive and violent, will clash with the injured Su Ningyu. Su Ningyu, unwilling, will also want to meet that Lady Zhushan who sealed her for a long time.

That will be our opportunity to strike.

This is the true curtain raiser; everything else is not that important."

The handsome man smiled a little, saying: "I initially planned to handle many matters personally, but surprisingly, events unfolded even more smoothly than I anticipated. Su Ningyu was unwittingly released from her seal by a foolish girl, and she went out to lead an army herself. Foolish."
