The old man was very happy, but he was not disappointed.

Yue Qiankun’s words did not disappoint Ning Fan.

Ning Fan had never placed his hopes on Yue Qiankun. He knew very well that although the one who had a conflict with him was only Li Xiansheng, the one standing behind Li Xiansheng was the Lord of Shenting Mansion!

In the huge Shenting Mansion, no one could help Ning Fan, and no one dared to.

So, there was no hope, so where did the disappointment come from.

“I want to know what kind of existence the Eighteen Prefectures of Zhongzhou are, and which forces in the Eighteen Prefectures can be compared with one prefecture.”

Ning Fan made his request known. What he wanted to know was actually just that simple.

He wanted to understand Zhongzhou!

Yue Qiankun frowned: “This is a very simple matter. You can just pick up a warrior and he can explain it to you clearly.”

“But let me think about how to tell you so that you can accept it faster!”

Yue Qiankun thought.

He also understood that Ning Fan’s time was precious. He couldn’t beat around the bush. He had to use the simplest way to let Ning Fan accept and understand it as quickly as possible.

After a moment, Yue Qiankun continued: “The eighteen prefectures in Zhongzhou are nominally under the jurisdiction of the dynasty, but in fact, they all exist independently.”

“The lord of each prefecture only listens to orders and not announcements. Even the dynasty cannot interfere with their internal affairs, such as the appointment and dismissal of officials within a prefecture.”

“Do you know why?”

Yue Qiankun asked back.

Ning Fan shook his head. How could he know this? But in his opinion, the strength of the lord of the prefecture should have reached a point that the dynasty would be afraid of.

“I can tell you clearly that this is not because the power of the mansion master is strong!”

But Yue Qiankun seemed to have guessed what Ning Fan was thinking, and then he spoke up and directly denied Ning Fan’s inner thoughts.

“In the eighteen prefectures of Zhongzhou, the mansion master of each prefecture is at least a giant in the Dao Palace realm. This is true, but the Dao Palace… also has strengths and weaknesses!”

“And the Dao Palace giants in the dynasty are enough to easily crush these mansion masters!”

“So, the freedom of the eighteen prefectures is not because of their own strength, but behind them, there are forces that the dynasty fears!”

“These forces are called holy places, and they are also the existence that can truly confront the dynasty!”

Holy land!

Ning Fan remembered these two words firmly.

“For example, behind the Shenting Mansion is the Taiyuan Sect, a terrifying existence that has been passed down for thousands of years. The foundation it possesses makes the dynasty extremely fearful!”

“It is precisely because of the Taiyuan Sect’s support that the Shenting Mansion can truly exist independently and obey orders but not announcements.”

“Of course, the dynasty still has to give face, unless it touches the real interests of a mansion or the holy land behind it.”

Yue Qiankun continued.

And Ning Fan remembered the three words Taiyuan Sect again!

“There are more than eighteen holy places in Zhongzhou, but some holy places do not care about the secular world.”

“So, remember one thing, when you come to Zhongzhou, the ones you really can’t provoke are not the mansion masters, but the holy places and the dynasty!”

When Yue Qiankun mentioned this, he couldn’t help but have some fear in his eyes.

Holy land, dynasty!

This is the real giant in Zhongzhou!

“If I confront the Lord of Shenting Mansion, will the Taiyuan Sect behind me attack me?” Ning Fan thought about it and asked a very important question.

Yue Qiankun laughed and shook his head: “How is it possible? The Taiyuan Sect is such a terrifying existence. As long as you don’t touch the interests of the Taiyuan Sect, they won’t care even if you kill the Lord of Shenting Mansion.”

“Of course, if you want to become the next Lord, you must be under the jurisdiction of the Taiyuan Sect. They will never allow rebellious people under their command.”

At this point, Yue Qiankun paused: “But there is one thing you must be careful about, that is, if you conflict with the Lord, the Taiyuan Sect will not care.”

“But this does not mean that the strong men of the holy land will not intervene.”

? ? ?

Ning Fan was stunned.

What does this mean?

They would never take action just now, why is it possible to intervene now?

“Every mansion lord has to pay tribute to the Holy Land every year. In this way, they are naturally familiar with the disciples or senior officials in the Holy Land.”

“So, under this premise, the Holy Land will naturally not take action, but the strong people in the Holy Land, that’s not necessarily the case.”

“They may take action in their own name.”

“This kind of situation often happens.”

“Of course, if you can kill the strong man who attacked, then go ahead. The Holy Land will never be partial to such a situation.”

“The premise is that if you are killed, the Holy Land will not care, let alone stand up for you.”

Yue Qiankun shrugged his shoulders and said.

At this point, Ning Fan probably understood.

Everything depends on your ability!

If you have a strong fighting power, even if you overthrow a mansion and become the mansion master yourself, there will be no problem.

But no matter what, there will always be an emperor above you, that is the Holy Land!

“Tianyuan Sect and the mansion master…”

Ning Fan was very curious.

So after he temporarily understood the situation in Zhongzhou, he asked.

Yue Qiankun smiled: “What else can it be? It’s naturally my sect leader who wants to overthrow the mansion master. Our Tianyuan Sect wants to be the master of this Shenting Mansion.”

“In the end, we failed to overthrow him once, and it’s only now.”

“But although the mansion master is angry, he dare not kill our Tianyuan Sect. He knows that he will not stop until he dies. He will not have a good life.”

“That’s why I can’t help you. Tianyuan Sect and the mansion master have a deep hatred. If I take action, not only can I not help you, I’m afraid I will cause you trouble.”

Ning Fan nodded and expressed his understanding again.

“Let me ask one last question, that is, in Zhongzhou, are there stronger people above the Dao Palace?” Ning Fan asked the last question, which was also what he cared about most.

Yue Qiankun frowned, shook his head, but nodded again.

“Strictly speaking, no, the Dao Palace is already the limit of this world!”

“However, the strengths and weaknesses between Dao Palaces are too great, even greater than those between mortals and transcendence!”

“If in your cognition, condensing the Dao Palace has already reached the limit, then I can tell you very clearly that it is still far away!”

“Now, you are just the Life Bridge. This road is too far away from you. Even if you reach the other side, you still need a long time, so don’t consider the Dao Palace for the time being.”

Yue Qiankun explained.

Ning Fan nodded thoughtfully.

There is a big gap in the Dao Palace?

Is it like the Great Sage?

For the time being, Ning Fan is not sure.

“Thank you very much!”

“I have to leave.”

After getting the answer he wanted, Ning Fan stood up and prepared to leave.
