Chapter 561

The Empress and all the Holy Maidens revealed expressions of shock.

As fellow top-tier assassin organizations of the Great Tang, they naturally knew of the relationship between the Profound Underworld Sect and the Prince of Liang, Zhu Wen.

Yet, they were completely unaware of what Zhu Wen had done in the capital.

Hearing this now, each of them was shocked beyond measure.

A thought immediately surged into their minds: the Great Tang was about to fall into chaos!

Under the command of the Prince of Liang, Zhu Wen, there were a full 600,000 troops, and the Profound Underworld Sect was teeming with experts, far stronger than the Illusion Sound Workshop.

Now that Su Chen had exposed Zhu Wen's act of regicide, the Great Tang imperial court would certainly not tolerate him.

If the two sides went to war, whether in the Jianghu or among the common people, the flames of conflict would rise everywhere, and there would be no more peace.

The Empress's gaze was unprecedentedly solemn as she silently calculated the gains and losses.

If the Great Tang fell into chaos, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for her.

The power she held behind her was also not to be underestimated; perhaps she could snatch chestnuts from the fire.

But there was one thing she could already conclude.

That was that she must befriend this Mr. Su from the World of Snowy Blades; at the very least, she must not offend him.

The Prince of Liang, Zhu Wen, was a very good example.

"This Mr. Su is truly bold. Is he not afraid that Zhu Wen will send experts from the Profound Underworld Sect to cause him trouble?"

Miaocheng Tian said, very surprised.

"I see that this Mr. Su has a transcendent temperament; he does not seem like a reckless person."

"Since he dared to say it, he is definitely not afraid of the Profound Underworld Sect."

Xuanjing Tian said, very confidently.

Upon hearing this, the Empress became even more cautious.

That's right.

Su Chen's commentary this time would certainly offend the Profound Underworld Sect.

Perhaps this would be an opportunity to probe Su Chen's true strength.

……

On the Bai Yu Platform.

Su Chen, facing the gazes of the crowd that were either shocked or admiring, just smiled casually and continued:

"Eighth seat on the Rouge List, Chang Xuanling."

"This woman is also a member of the Profound Underworld Sect, and her position is the White Impermanence of the Black and White Impermanence."

"Chang Xuanling and her sworn brother, Black Impermanence Chang Haoling, were both orphans from a young age and were adopted by the general Chang Jin under Zhu Wen's command, hence they took the surname Chang."

"Later, after Chang Jin died in battle, Chang Xuanling and Chang Haoling joined the Profound Underworld Sect together and took the Ghost King Zhu Youwen as their master."

"But the two were not loyal people; after being threatened by the Underworld Emperor Zhu Yougui, they immediately defected, switched their allegiance to Zhu Yougui, and became undercover agents beside Zhu Youwen."

"Now, both of them are under the command of Meng Po, following her orders, and practicing the Thousand Corpse Ten Thousand Poison Palm; their entire bodies are covered in deadly poison."

Once this commentary was out, the crowd exclaimed in surprise once again.

Chang Xuanling was actually an undercover agent too!

These sons of Zhu Wen were truly chaotic enough.

The second son, Zhu Youwen, planted an undercover agent with the third son, Zhu Youzhen.

The eldest son, Zhu Yougui, turned the two subordinates of the second son, Zhu Youwen, against him.

Although it is said that the imperial family is the most heartless, it is truly rare to see one as treacherous as Zhu Wen's family.

The crowd listened with great interest, all casting their eyes toward the high platform, wanting to hear what other interesting anecdotes there were about the remaining beauties on the Rouge List.

···Seeking flowers········

……

On the Bai Yu Platform.

Su Chen lightly shook his folding fan, facing the curious gazes of the crowd, and said slowly:

"Seventh seat on the Rouge List, Shi Yao."

"Regarding this rouge beauty, you all probably don't know much, or rather, you don't know her real name."

"Besides the name Shi Yao, she has another alias, and that is Meng Po of the Profound Underworld Sect."

"As a high-ranking figure in the Profound Underworld Sect, Meng Po is truly renowned in the Great Tang Jianghu."

"Everyone thinks Meng Po is an ugly old woman, but that is not the case."

"The image of an ugly old woman is merely Shi Yao's disguise; in reality, she is a beauty of peerless elegance."

"Almost no one in the Profound Underworld Sect knows about this."

"Because Shi Yao is not a true disciple of the Profound Underworld Sect, but an undercover agent planted in the Profound Underworld Sect by the Buried Ones organization."

"Her true identity is the Heavenly Blessing Star among the Thirty-Six Captains of the Great Tang Buried Ones, and she is skilled in the art of disguise and transformation."

"When the Profound Underworld Sect was first founded, she received orders from the Buried Commander Yuan Tiangang to infiltrate the Profound Underworld Sect; because of her profound cultivation, she became Meng Po and took control of the Profound Underworld Sect's power."

Good heavens!

...... 00

The crowd exclaimed, "Good heavens!"

No one expected that these beauties in the third tier of the Great Tang Rouge List were all undercover agents.

Moreover, Zhong Xiaokui, Chang Xuanling, and Meng Po were all people from the Profound Underworld Sect.

This Profound Underworld Sect is simply full of traitors!

Especially those who knew a little about Meng Po; at this moment, they widened their eyes even more, their eyeballs almost popping out.

That old woman who leaned on a cane, hunched over, with a face full of wrinkles, and walked shakily, was actually a rouge beauty of peerless elegance?

If these words hadn't come from Su Chen's mouth, the crowd would definitely not have believed it.

And what shocked the crowd even more was that Meng Po was also one of the Thirty-Six Captains of the Great Tang Buried Ones.

When the Profound Underworld Sect was first founded, she had hidden herself in the Profound Underworld Sect under the instruction of the Buried Commander Yuan Tiangang, and she hadn't been discovered for so many years.

How terrifying Shi Yao is!

How terrifying Yuan Tiangang is!

This was the heartfelt exclamation of the crowd; they admired Shi Yao's art of disguise, and even more, they admired Yuan Tiangang's deep schemes and calculations.

……

Sixth private room in the West District.

Fusu's eyes lit up, and he smiled: "I have long heard that the Great Tang Buried Commander Yuan Tiangang is deep in schemes and is the most terrifying figure in the Great Tang; today I have finally learned of it, and it is indeed well-deserved."

To be able to plant his subordinate expert Shi Yao into the Profound Underworld Sect when it was first founded.

This is definitely a decision that only a person of great courage and great wisdom could make.

Han, who was beside him, also nodded in agreement.

Planting undercover agents in hostile forces is not a very clever method.

But to be able to plant experts when the opponent's force is just established, and to rise all the way to a high-ranking position holding great power.

This requires great effort.

Especially in an assassin organization like the Profound Underworld Sect that values intelligence the most.

……

Fourth private room in the East District.

The Empress and the Holy Maidens looked at each other, all seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

They were now completely convinced by Su Chen.

This Meng Po was clearly the trump card Yuan Tiangang had arranged in the Profound Underworld Sect, yet she was easily exposed by Su Chen.

The women looked at Su Chen again, their hearts feeling slightly cold, with a feeling of being seen through completely.

The Empress strengthened her belief even more.

That was that no matter what, she must not offend Su Chen.
