Chapter 217 – the Three public officials and Nine ministers

In the middle of the Piaoyan Tower Immortal Residence, there was once a lively atmosphere with people laughing and joking. Those who were attending the banquet, including the emissaries from Great Qin, had planned to witness a fierce battle between dragons and tigers.

However, after the sound of a bell, everything fell silent.

Although Mei Guiting was not a disciple of the Heavenly Dao Academy, his skills were not to be underestimated. Otherwise, he would not have been invited to the banquet by Cang Jiuhua.

The Eastern Capital had the best official school in Yuanshuo, which included the Xiang, Xu, Xue, Xiao, and Gong. The aristocratic families in the Eastern Capital, besides having the best official school, also had inherited unique skills.

The aristocratic descendants learned divine powers and the study of things, and they had family records of mythical beasts or treasures that did not exist in this era.

Some families collected spiritual weapons, divine bones, and other things for their disciples to observe and learn from.

Some families even worshipped the spirits of their ancestors, and the elders themselves would teach their disciples.

Scholars from these aristocratic families had a broader perspective, inheritance, and knowledge than those from other places.

However, despite Mei Guiting's profound heritage, he did not even have the qualification to display a divine power or even the right to make Su Yun stand up. He was only holding a teacup, which was directly shattered by Su Yun!

Now, Su Yun stood up and faced everyone in the Piaoyan Tower Immortal Residence, looking down on them with an extremely strong sense of discomfort and humiliation.

This feeling came from the countryside, from the lawless and barbaric land, giving people the feeling of a sharp sword that would make them bleed upon contact.

The city people were elegant and refined, facing such a strong sharpness, they were somewhat uncomfortable.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Cang Jiuhua applauded vigorously and laughed, "What a divine power! Besides the Creation Divine Power that comes from the Zhou Tian Star Array, Su Shi's divine power is actually a unifying divine power! It is truly exquisite and amazing!"

He stood up and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, I originally underestimated Yuanshuo and thought that there were no heroes in Yuanshuo. But after seeing Su Shi's divine power, I realized that I was wrong. Su Shi's divine power has already reached the level of profound application, and is almost unified. It is no less inferior to Great Qin's divine power."

"I don't believe it!" n0velusb.c0M

Suddenly, a young man behind Wen Yanfeng stood up, and when he said the first word, he had already taken a step forward!

By the time he finished saying the third word, his blood and energy had almost exploded, and a spiritual weapon like an umbrella flew out of the spiritual realm!

"I, Fu Rongqing, a guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion, seek advice!"

The young man's momentum was like a rainbow, and he urged the umbrella-shaped spiritual weapon. The inner wall of the umbrella-shaped spiritual weapon had various strange imprints, and the umbrella surface was divided into eighteen grids, each with a different imprint.

The umbrella-shaped spiritual weapon flew up and rotated above Fu Rongqing's head, and the imprints were bright and shining, illuminating his body.

Fu Rongqing's body suddenly swelled, becoming taller and stronger, and bright and dazzling runic light appeared all over his body!



Fu Rongqing ran towards Su Yun, his steps getting bigger and bigger.

He was originally a minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion and was responsible for protecting Wen Yanfeng's safety. He had been sitting behind Wen Yanfeng all this time and only acted on Wen Yanfeng's orders to test Su Yun's depth.

From behind Wen Yanfeng to Su Yun's front, there were about ten zhang.But his physical body was growing rapidly, from the moment he took the first step, he began to expand. By the time he took the second step, his whole body was already sixteen or seventeen feet tall!

When he took the third step, he was already over five zhang tall!

His muscles were fierce, and suddenly cracking sounds came from under his armpits. Arms grew out one by one, and by the fourth step, he had already arrived in front of Su Yun!

Everyone present was amazed and looked up. Fu Rongqing was displaying a kind of physical body divine ability, which was too powerful to be performed by one's own blood and qi. It required the use of a spiritual tool.

Fu Rongqing used the umbrella-shaped spiritual tool to imprint the runes of this physical body divine ability and displayed it!

This body of copper muscles and iron bones, with incredibly strong muscles, all demonstrated an incomparable strength!

Fu Rongqing's fist pounded crazily, towards the small Su Yun!

When his first punch landed, there was still three feet of distance from Su Yun's forehead, but a sound of a bell rang out, and a yellow bell appeared.

Various imprints revolved around Su Yun in an orderly manner, blocking Fu Rongqing's first punch.

When Fu Rongqing's second punch came, the giant's first punch was just retracting.

The giant Fu Rongqing looked at his retracting fist, showing a look of surprise. He saw the skin on his fist burst open, and the flesh on his fist left his arm at an even faster speed!

He saw the flesh on his fist fly away in an instant, and then the trend of flying flesh spread to his arm. His finger bones began to break, flying off one by one.

His second punch had already hit the yellow bell divine ability that had automatically appeared in Su Yun's mouth, ringing another bell.

Fu Rongqing's second punch retracted, and his third punch had already smashed down.

The fist of his second arm also began to burst open, and the flesh decomposed.

And all the muscles on his first arm had been devastated by the terrifying power, shattered and flying into the air!

Fu Rongqing's face showed horror, but his attack was too fast. In an instant, he had continuously punched six times, as fast as a remnant shadow!

Just listen to the six bells ringing in a row, and Fu Rongqing exploded.

The sound of the bell was melodious and endless, spreading from the Immortal's Residence.

From Fu Rongqing reporting his name and origins, taking a step forward, to him using his spiritual tool to display his physical body divine ability, and then turning into a god-like giant and punching six times, it only took an instant. His whole person was annihilated and turned into dust.

The bell gradually returned to calm.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Cang Jiuhua applauded vigorously and exclaimed, "Senior Brother Fu Rongqing's skills are also unique. This kind of physical body divine ability is extraordinary. Could it be the Zhou Tian Xing Dou divine ability of Yuan Shuo? Transforming the body into a star deity to fight, its power is amazing. Unfortunately, it is an old holy skill, miscalculated, and lost to Su Shizi. I wonder if the Prime Minister's Mansion has any more advanced skills?"

Wen Yanfeng frowned slightly, glanced at Su Yun, and then at Cang Jiuhua.

He had the intention to test Su Yun's strength, but Fu Rongqing died too quickly and was unable to test Su Yun's true abilities.

Wen Yanfeng stood up and bowed, "Envoy, it's a disappointment today. I will visit again another day."

Cang Jiuhua stood up to see him off, saying, "Don't be so polite, Prince Wen. Jiuhua will personally come to apologize to the Prime Minister another day."

"You are too kind."Wen Yanfeng walked out of the God Immortal Residence with a group of followers. As he passed by Su Yun, he smiled and said, "Su Shizi, be careful. The son of Mei Guiting's Meilangjiang died here, and Mei Langjiang will not let it go easily."

Su Yun glanced at him and asked, "If the son of the Prime Minister also died here, would the Prime Minister let it go easily?"

Wen Yanfeng laughed heartily and led his group outside.

Suddenly, another person rushed out and shouted, "He Yuan Tu, a guest of the Guangluqing's household, asks Su Shizi for guidance!"

Wen Yanfeng slowed down and had the intention to stay and watch, as He Yuan Tu was a guest brought by Gu Shengping, obviously with the same intention of testing Su Yun's strength.

The noble students who pursued their studies naturally had many followers on their way, becoming the guests of the noble families, and handled various affairs for the powerful noble students.

These guests were often from poor families and had no hope of promotion. They were difficult to succeed on their own, so they sought refuge under the protection of noble families. The noble families made them work for them, and they couldn't refuse. However, if they died because of this, their wives and parents could receive the care of the noble families and have no worries about food and clothing.

Wen Yanfeng had already lost a guest to test Su Yun's ability and the guests he brought this time were not very capable, making it difficult to test Su Yun's strength.

The guests of the Gu family, Gu Shengping, obviously had the same intention.

However, Wen Yanfeng had already said that he was leaving and did not want to stay, so he could only watch Su Yun's real strength.

As Wen Yanfeng walked away, he heard a voice calling out, "Fang Yuan, a guest of the Weiweiqing's household, dares to ask Su Shizi for guidance!"

"Bang!"

The curtains shook, and Wen Yanfeng glanced over to see a bloody stain on the curtains of the God Immortal Residence.

"Lu Qiuyi, a guest of the Taipuqing's household, asks Su Shizi for guidance!"

"Bang!"

...

When Wen Yanfeng walked out of the God Immortal Residence, he heard eight bell chimes, which made his heart tremble.

The highest official position in the Yuan Shuo dynasty was the three public and nine ministers. The three public officials were the Prime Minister, the Imperial Censor, and the Grand Commandant, while the nine ministers were the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of War, the Minister of Justice, the Grand Herald, the Director of Religious Affairs, the Minister of Agriculture, and the Minister of Works.

The guests invited by Cang Jiuhua were mostly from the nine ministers' households, except for Taichang Qiu Shuijing. These were the big noble families of the East Capital, and even the sons of these families had come to the banquet!

Moreover, these noble family sons had sent their guests to test Su Yun's strength!Wen Yanfeng looked deeply and thought to himself: "It seems that not only the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also the major aristocratic families represented by the other eight ministers, are extremely dissatisfied with the appointment of Mr. Qiu Shuijing as the Taichang to promote reforms. If the emperor wants to keep his throne, he will immediately kill Qiu Shuijing to appease the anger of the aristocratic families. But for the sake of longevity, the emperor will certainly not agree, so the only option is to change the emperor."

He boarded the imperial carriage, his eyes flashing, and whispered: "We couldn't test the emperor's strength this time, but there will be a next time. After all, Piaoyalou is where the envoys of Daqin live. If we hurt the foreign envoys, it will be a big deal."

It was already late, and the disaster gray lamps of Dongdu were lit. The imperial carriage entered the Shangyun Bridge.

"If the eight ministers and the public express their dissatisfaction, what kind of action will the royal family, the number one family in the world, take to protect their own position?"

Wen Yanfeng turned his head and looked towards Piaoyalou, thinking to himself: "If someone in the royal family also challenges Su Shizi, it will be the prelude to their attempt to depose the emperor! Will the royal family send someone to come? How does the strongest person of this generation in the royal family compare to the emperor?"
