Cultivating Immortality, Starts with Green Plum

Chapter 640 It's not too late for you to retire and return to your hometown now.
When Xu Ming arrived at the main hall of the Myriad Elephants Kingdom, everyone was taken aback.

They never expected that a human like Xu Ming would come to this place.

But soon, everyone understood why Xu Ming had come to this place.

It's all because Xu Ming colluded with His Majesty.

Xu Ming originally knew his own emperor.

Moreover, Xu Ming's level of understanding is also very high.

Judging from the spiritual energy emanating from him, it is very likely that Xu Ming killed all those adults.

Actually, Xu Ming killing all those ministers wasn't what they cared about most.

What they care about is what's behind the scenes.

If Xu Ming really did kill those ministers...

With Xu Ming's current strength at the Jade Purity Realm, achieving this would be extremely difficult.

It's very simple. The most crucial point is that many of the people he killed were cultivators at the Jade Purity Realm.

Moreover, they are all established Jade Purity Realm.

No matter how powerful Xu Ming's Jade Purity Realm strength is, how could he possibly kill someone with a single blow?

At the scene of the assassination, there were virtually no signs of a struggle.

It can be described as a one-sided crushing defeat.

This suggests that Xu Ming's cultivation level is likely already equivalent to that of an immortal.

And what happens when Xu Ming enters the Immortal Realm?
They couldn't even imagine it!
This child must not be allowed to live!

"So? Does anyone have any objections? If so, you can raise them now?"

Bai Libing has already expressed her determination to personally lead the expedition.

Most of the court officials actually didn't really want His Majesty to personally lead the expedition.

The so-called imperial expedition was actually extremely risky.

If anything were to happen, it would be something that His Majesty would absolutely not be able to bear.

If something were to happen to His Majesty, the entire court and the entire Kingdom of Wanxiang would be thrown into chaos.

It's absolutely not worth the risk.

But seeing the unwavering look in their emperor's eyes, they all knew they couldn't persuade him otherwise.

His Majesty certainly wants to lead the expedition in person.

If Your Majesty personally leads the expedition, it will greatly enhance your prestige.

An emperor's authority does not solely depend on his bloodline.

It's not just about having a legitimate reason for being right.

More importantly, we must make some contributions.

Only achievements can convince others.

Only achievements can convince people's hearts.

Therefore, suppressing the rebellion of the vassal kings this time is a major event.

If His Majesty were to personally lead the expedition, the rebellion of the three vassal kings could be quelled.

For His Majesty, this would be an absolutely wonderful thing.

Your Majesty's prestige will spread throughout the entire Kingdom of Vientiane.

Any voices opposing His Majesty would have to be hushed up by this achievement.

Finally, all the court officials looked at the old man standing not far away.

He is none other than Prime Minister Turtle.

But at this moment, Prime Minister Gui simply stood calmly at the very front of the court.

He didn't say a word.

In fact, since His Majesty returned from the human dynasty and took power, Prime Minister Turtle has spoken very little in the past 20 years.

The Turtle Prime Minister has always maintained a silent demeanor.

Even if there are some factional struggles in the imperial court.

The Turtle Prime Minister remained completely silent.

The Prime Minister Turtle did not form any factions.

However, when something is truly wrong, the Turtle Prime Minister will say a few words.

Over time.

Everyone seems to regard Gui Cheng as a completely invisible person.

But in reality, who would actually mistake a turtle image for a transparent person?
Just like when the royal family of Vientiane was plunged into chaos.

When the feudal lords were causing all sorts of trouble.

It was only through the combined efforts of Prime Minister Turtle and several regional kings that the situation was stabilized.
Otherwise, we wouldn't even know who Huang Wei from Wanxiang Kingdom is sitting here now.

If Prime Minister Turtle wanted to speak, his influence would be absolutely unmatched, and many people would not dare to question him.

Even His Majesty has to consider the thoughts of the Turtle Prime Minister.

But will Prime Minister Turtle really go and tell this story?
They believe it definitely will!

This is different.

The princes rebelled, and His Majesty personally led the expedition. In most people's eyes, this was definitely a very important event.

This matter concerns the future direction and safety of the entire Wanxiang Kingdom.

If we're not careful, Vientiane will have to change its name.

Therefore, this matter should not be underestimated.

Not to mention that His Majesty also has to cooperate with a human cultivator.

We're cooperating with a cultivator!
What does this mean?

If this matter gets out, how will many demon kingdoms view our Myriad Elephant Kingdom?

These are all unknown and uncertain.

While everyone was waiting for the Turtle Prime Minister to speak, even Bai Libing was looking at him, wondering what he would say.

Then, the Turtle Prime Minister slowly walked forward and stood directly in front of him.

At the same time, everyone in the entire court held their breath.

They wanted to see what this veteran figure had to say.

In the end, all everyone saw was the Turtle Prime Minister bowing respectfully.

Immediately afterwards, the Turtle Prime Minister's steady voice resounded throughout the entire hall.

"Your Majesty's desire to personally lead the expedition is in keeping with the spirit of the late Emperor, and I absolutely agree."

As the Turtle Prime Minister finished speaking, Bai Libing breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily curled up.

The other ministers, those who were loyal to Bai Libing, were also very happy.

In fact, just now, these ministers who had been promoted by Bai Libing were already thinking about how they would oppose Prime Minister Turtle when he refuted His Majesty.

Even if Prime Minister Turtle was a veteran of three reigns.

Even though Prime Minister Turtle's prestige extends throughout the entire world.

However, none of them could possibly change His Majesty's mind by influencing the Prime Minister's attitude.

As for the cultivators standing opposite Bai Libing, they were somewhat dazed.

Some of them were even caught off guard.

They had assumed that Prime Minister Gui would try to dissuade Bai Libing.

In any case, we must at least prevent Bai Libing from cooperating with this one cultivator.

But to everyone's surprise, this Turtle Prime Minister actually stood on Bai Libing's side.

"Very well, since Prime Minister Turtle has said so, then this time, with my personal command, we will surely achieve a great victory!"

Bai Libing made her conclusion directly.

No one in the imperial court dares to utter a single word now.

After all, His Majesty has said so, and now Prime Minister Turtle has also said so.

Who else would dare to mess with Bai Libing?
“However, when our Wanxiang Kingdom goes to war, a demon race must sacrifice to the flag. Let’s use the two of you as the sacrifice first.”

As Bai Libing finished speaking, she gave Xu Ming a look. In an instant.

A sword light flashed across the entire hall.

No one saw clearly how Xu Ming made his move.

The heads of the two men fell straight to the ground.

At that moment, everyone looked at Xu Ming as if they had seen a ghost.

Could this really be a cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm?

How can this be?

How could he be a cultivator at the Jade Uncarved Mirror level?

How could a cultivator at the Jade Uncarved Realm kill two Nascent Soul Realm demon cultivators in such a short time?

No matter what, even if there is suppression due to the level of cultivation, people can still put up a fight.

"Retreat!"

As Bai Libing finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Then they quickly left the court.

After leaving the palace, everyone wore a very complicated expression.

They knew that from this day forward, Bai Libing was truly about to seize power.

As soon as Prime Minister Gui returned to his residence, one minister after another rushed to his house.

Prime Minister Gui did not refuse and led them directly to the other side of the hall to receive them.

"Prime Minister Turtle, why aren't you saying a word?"

Look at what the imperial court has become.

"Is there still any law in the court these days?"

As soon as these demon officials entered the Turtle Prime Minister's residence, they began to curse, venting their emotions.

"Prime Minister Turtle, take a look. Our Empress is acting like a madwoman, directly using that human cultivator."

How many of our court officials did he kill?
Even today, during court, he killed two other ministers in front of all of us.

What exactly did those two ministers do? Did they deserve to die?

"Yes, Prime Minister Turtle, you have to take care of this matter. You are a cultivator at the Immortal Realm."

Moreover, you have a certain reputation throughout the world. If you don't take care of this matter, then really no one else will.

"Prime Minister Gui shouldn't have sided with His Majesty."

"Prime Minister Gui, this matter really needs to be handled properly, otherwise, look at all the civil and military officials in the court now, they don't know how to conduct themselves."

These officials each offered their own opinion.

Moreover, their tone became increasingly aggressive.

His tone became increasingly sharp.

Towards the end, there was even a hint of blaming Prime Minister Gui.

They all forgot that they had come to ask for help.

But Prime Minister Turtle wasn't angry at all. He simply took a sip of tea and looked at them calmly.

Then Prime Minister Turtle said something that silenced everyone.

"Have you come here today just to confront me and demand an explanation?"

As soon as the Turtle Prime Minister finished speaking, everyone was shocked, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

The immense pressure from the powerful immortal realm made them afraid to even raise their heads.

They swallowed hard, feeling a chill creeping down their spines.

The moment the other party has a single thought, I will be utterly annihilated.

And now that emperor must be very happy to see his men die.

"Prime Minister Turtle, we absolutely did not mean that."

"Indeed, Prime Minister Turtle, how could we possibly blame you?"

"Prime Minister Gui, you know us. We are concerned about His Majesty and the entire world, so we came to discuss with you what to do next."

These people frantically tried to salvage their statements.

They also admitted that what they had just said was indeed a bit excessive.

The main problem is that the current situation in the imperial court is far too critical.

The situation in the imperial court has now reached a point where it is beyond repair.

They have to be anxious.

The two officials had already been killed with a single sword strike, and no one dared to utter a word.

And does that mean His Majesty can kill whomever he wants in the future?
No reason is needed at all?
"You lot."

The Turtle Prime Minister sighed and slowly began to speak.

"You people keep saying you're thinking of His Majesty's best interests, but all you're really thinking about is your own high positions and generous salaries."

You people keep saying you care about the world.

All he was thinking about was how to continue his family line.

"And it is because of people like you that the Kingdom of Wanxiang has become what it is today."

Prime Minister Turtle was not polite either.

He started cursing at them directly.

Hearing the words of the Turtle Prime Minister, they naturally dared not say anything more.

What more could he say?
It's a blessing that the Turtle Prime Minister can scold them now.

Not to mention they still need someone's help.

"Let me be frank with you, even if I were to take action now, it would be of no use."

Now, more than half of the people in the entire court are His Majesty's people.

Besides, His Majesty is already prepared to fight to the death, so what use do you think I would be?

“But Prime Minister Turtle, you are a cultivator at the Immortal Realm.”

A minister said to the Turtle Prime Minister.

That's right, Prime Minister Turtle is a cultivator at the Immortal Realm.

In this world, strength often represents everything.

A cultivator from a celestial realm can absolutely change the fate of an entire nation.

It was precisely because Xu Ming's strength was comparable to that of an immortal that he was able to kill so many people and clean up the entire court with such ruthless methods.

If Xu Ming were just an ordinary mortal, how could he possibly have accomplished all of this?

Even Xu Ming himself will die without a burial place.

"So what if I'm a cultivator at the Immortal Realm?"

Prime Minister Gui sighed, his tone carrying a hint of disappointment, but also a touch of relief.

"In your eyes, Xu Ming is just a cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm."

But that's not actually the case at all.

Do you think I don't know who killed those officials these days?

I'm telling you, I actually know.

Even Xu Ming came to see me.

Moreover, when he came to find me, he almost killed me in just 10 moves.

He let me off the hook.

"How is this possible? How could Xu Ming be so powerful? He's just a cultivator at the Jade Purity Realm."

"You guys really are like frogs in a well, with a limited view of the world. The realms of this world are not as simple as you think."

Although he's only at the Jade Uncarved Realm, I dare say very few Immortal Realm cultivators could defeat him.

The Turtle Prime Minister served tea to see the guest off.

“Take all these people back. Listen to me, it’s not too late for you to retire and go back to your hometown now. Otherwise, I’m afraid you might not be able to save your lives.”
