Peerless Taoist

This place was extremely spacious, and 29 Ministers were discussing matters here.    

The current Great Qin Dynasty had expanded to four large Cosmoses, and it had countless worlds and stars. Before, the size of the Cabinet was unable to support such a vast territory.    

Even the most glorious Dynasty in the Jade Emperor Heaven had not been able to reach such a height.    

It was because they had to deal with such complicated matters that the Cabinet had expanded. There were now over 100 Ministers in the Cabinet, and many Ministers only had titles, but in actuality, they were Great Ministers who oversaw territories.    

The ones who truly oversaw the Imperial City were these 29 Ministers.    

Now, these 29 Ministers all had serious expressions on their faces, as if they were discussing something extremely important.    

“The Spirit Peak has given orders again, and they want Great Qin to hand over 50 billion tons of Purple Crystal Stones and 80 battleships for the Su family to use.”    

“How many people do they have? They actually need 80 battleships?”    

“Isn’t it just to transport their treasures? Those sects have given them quite a few good things, and with the wealth they’ve gathered, it’s simply an astronomical figure. They want to transport all of this wealth and send it to the Su family.”    

Within the wide Auxiliary Kingdom Hall, a few Ministers were discussing, and all of them had furious expressions on their faces.    

These ministers were all powerful figures in the Great Qin Dynasty, but now, something had happened that gave them a headache. Their conversation was filled with anxiety.    

One of the ministers shook his head and sighed, "If His Majesty was here, how could those people be so arrogant?"    

The others fell silent.    

In everyone's heart, Lu Yu was an invincible existence. If Lu Yu was still in the Great Qin Dynasty, how could those people dare to be so arrogant?    

"If His Majesty leaves the Capital and cultivates outside, those outsiders will naturally not be able to compete with His Majesty. That's why they are targeting us."    

Li Si suddenly shouted, "Since we have to share His Majesty's burdens, we have to protect His Majesty. Although His Majesty is not in charge of the Imperial Court, we still have to protect the country. We cannot let the country be lost."    

"Your Excellency, what you say is good, but what exactly should we do? Those experts at the Eternal King Realm on the Spirit Peak are all from the aristocratic families of the Three Pure Ones. Although our Great Qin has quite a few Eternal Kings, they are all at the initial stage of the Eternal King Realm. Who can compare to that Great Elder?"    

One of the ministers suddenly stood up, and a faint lightning flashed between his brows.    

This was a middle-aged man with a fierce aura. Even though he was standing there, he gave people a great sense of oppression. From his body, there was even a bloody aura, as if a wolf had descended from the night.    

This was the Marquis of Blood Wolf, Qiu Song. He was also a noble general who had walked out of the sea of blood. His family had followed Lu Yu in the past, and now, they had become one of the top families in the Great Qin Empire.    

Qiu Song had also accumulated enough battle achievements. Now, he was the commander-in-chief of the Blood Wolf Army and also the Academic of the Military Martial Hall.    

"It's very simple. If they want anything, we will just give it to them. Your Blood Wolf Army happens to be guarding the Venerable Spirit Peak. If they have any intentions, you should immediately come back and report it." Li Si said indifferently.    

"Hahaha! First Minister, you are saying it so easily, but don't you think it's too funny?"    

Qiu Song shook his head and sneered, "I'm only at the first level of the Eternal King Realm, and you are only at the second level of the Eternal King Realm. You are only at the middle level of the Eternal King Realm. The three sages are only at the Great Eternal King Realm, and the Great Elder of the Su Family is at the Eternal King Realm, the sixth level of the Eternal King Realm!"    

"It can be said that if he is willing, all of us in the Great Qin Empire combined are not his match. If we want to go against them, we will only be asking for trouble!"    

Li Si frowned. "So, you have a good idea, Mr. Qiu?"    

Qiu Song laughed lightly. "Now, it seems that there is only one way for us to go."    

He glanced around and said, "The Venerable Spirit Peak has descended on our Great Qin. Its purpose is very obvious. It is to target our Great Qin's resources. They saw that our Great Qin is rich, so they coveted this place."    

“Since we can’t chase them away, we might as well give in and give them some treasures. Great Qin has a vast territory and a large population, so giving them some treasures is not a big deal.”    

“How dare you! Qiu Song, who told you to say such things!” Lu Jingsheng slammed the table as he glared at Qiu Song.    

Lu Jingsheng was the Minister of War, and he was also the Chief Academic of the Hall of Heroes. He was a top figure in the Qin army, and he was Qiu Song’s superior.    

However, Qiu Song did not seem to be afraid at all as he said coldly, “I was thinking about Great Qin’s future. The other side is coming with great momentum. Could it be that the Minister of War wants the Qin army to fight with them?”    

Lu Jingsheng said, “If we fight, it’s not impossible!”    

Qiu Song shook his head and said with a trace of regret, “It’s a pity that the main force of the Qin army is fighting against the Demon Race. Our territory is expanding too quickly, and we don’t have enough soldiers. Even though His Majesty has obtained three Sectors from the Spirit Treasure Sect, he needs more soldiers. How can we have enough soldiers to defend the Supreme Spirit Peak in the Bedlam Lands?”    

Some of the other ministers looked furious, while others looked thoughtful, and no one knew what they were thinking about.    

Li Si frowned and said in a low voice, “Great Qin has never ceded our territory. We can die in battle, but we can’t surrender.”    

“Who else has the same thoughts as him? Stand out!”    

Qiu Song coldly laughed, “Prime Minister, don’t threaten others here. We’re doing this for Great Qin’s sake. Now that you’re so tough, do you want to wait until the blood and corpses of Xianyang City become a sea of blood and mountains of corpses before you regret it?”    

Suddenly, Pei Tianguang coldly said, “Qiu Song, you were the one who invited the cultivators from the Revered Spirit Peak in the residence a few days ago, right?”    

“You investigated me?”    

Hearing this, Qiu Song’s brows furrowed, and a trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes.    

However, he quickly coldly laughed, “So what? My Blood Wolf Legion Corps is stationed near the Revered Spirit Peak, so we naturally have to be on good terms with them. Will the Imperial Court send soldiers to save me?”    

This was already an unreasonable statement, and the other cabinet ministers all revealed expressions of shock. They had never thought that Qiu Song would dare to say such words.    

Li Si coldly said, “Qiu Song, do you want to plot a rebellion?”    

“Plot a rebellion? You’re wrong. I’m only asking for a way out for myself. His Majesty hasn’t returned for so long, and I’m afraid…”
