I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 85 The Head of Nine Ministers
"What about others?"

The queen looked at the place where the other party disappeared and asked hurriedly.

"He wasn't here in the first place." Zhang Rui shook his head. "From the beginning, it was just a painting. A real spirit naturally wouldn't dare to show up easily. As for where he's hiding, I can only guess that he's nearby. I don't know the rest."

As he said this, he turned around and looked at Murong Yunji who was confronting the emperor: "Is there no way to get rid of it?"

Murong Yunji shook her head: "His instinctive will is very strong, and his physical ability has reached the peak of a strongman. He is stronger than Yuchi Peng from the North Sea. He is only one step away from becoming a master in this era. Now my sword is powerless to penetrate any further, but if I retreat, he will be controlled again in an instant, and then none of us will be able to escape."

"How long can you maintain this state?" Zhang Rui asked with a frown.

"It's hard to tell." Murong Yunji looked at the other party's struggling expression: "He has a strong will. If he is lucky, he can break free by himself. If his will is slightly loose, he may be controlled in the next moment."

"What if you can find an expert to help you?" Zhang Rui continued to ask.

"If you can do what I did just now." Murong Yunji glanced at the huge snake head above: "If you can strike before that thing reacts, then you have a chance."

“I’m afraid it’s hard to find.”

Murong Yunji's technique was neither that of a sorcerer nor a warrior, so the Black Tortoise was unable to react for a while. If it were anyone in this era, I'm afraid that they wouldn't be able to do it under the eyes of the Four Spirits, not even the Grandmaster.
The only way is outside.

The queen looked at the controlled emperor with an unfriendly look.

"Don't mess around," Zhang Rui whispered, "Given his physical reaction, if you approach with murderous intent, within three meters, not only you, but even the expert nanny beside you will be dead."

"Then let him live?" The Queen said faintly, "He has seen what I am doing. Once he comes to his senses, do you know what will happen to me?"

"I won't let anything happen to you." Zhang Rui looked at the queen seriously.

"What can you do?"

"To break the situation, we have to do two things at once. First, we have to find the guy's location. As long as we find him, we will have a chance to kill him, and then the crisis will be resolved. Now, most of the noble families outside think that this is a killing plan by your majesty. They are entering the palace at this time with the intention of overthrowing your majesty, so."

"So as long as they find him, we don't have to take any risks?" The Queen understood what Zhang Rui meant.

"Find a safe place, bring your nanny and wait for me." Zhang Rui coaxed in a low voice.

"Come back soon." The Queen looked at Zhang Rui and said, "Don't lie to me."

"Will not"
-
"Oh? What a coincidence."

Outside the Qinglong Gate, the two groups collided.

Lu Chengfeng looked at the opposite side, but he was not surprised. The people who came were none other than the other four great families in the capital.

The Shen, Jin, Jiang, and Huo families are old rivals that have been fighting against them for a thousand years. They are also the biggest representatives of the interests of the Jiangnan families in the capital.

The leader on the opposite side is Jiang Hong, an elder of the Jiang family. The Jiang family is the controller of this term's Ministry of Personnel officials. Jiang Linfeng, the head of the Nine Ministers, is also being controlled outside the Mingde Hall. The Jiang family has controlled important positions of the Nine Ministers for three consecutive terms, and this term's head of the family, Jiang Linfeng, is the best among them. Lu Chengfeng doesn't find it surprising that the Jiang family would come to fight for this wave.

"Uncle Jiang, long time no see?" Lu Chengfeng bowed and said with a smile.

"You didn't go in." Jiang Hong stared at the other person.

Among the family heads of this generation, Lu Chengfeng's qualifications are probably comparable to that of his own. He failed to win the position of the head of the Nine Ministers and simply retreated to the second line. No one knows what he is planning in secret. He did not even go in this time. Could this incident be related to him?
When he thought of this, his eyes suddenly became unfriendly.

"Haha, I didn't want to cause trouble, but I didn't expect to escape a disaster." Lu Chengfeng said with a chuckle.

"Since you have escaped a disaster, why don't you stay away from it?"

"Uncle Jiang, the situation is urgent. Let's not beat around the bush. In this situation, how can we hide away? What do you think?"

"Heh." Jiang Hong glanced at the elders opposite him, and then sneered: "You four families are getting worse with each generation. In this generation, only the kid from the Lu family is capable, and you actually let a junior take the lead."

The other elders behind Lu Chengfeng looked extremely unhappy when they heard this.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, there was nothing wrong with what the other party said. The eight great families had been fighting for a thousand years, and their strength was not much different. But in the past hundred years, their four families had become increasingly weaker, and very few of their children were outstanding. On the contrary, the other four families, especially this generation, not only had a 40-year-old super-first-class warlock, Jiang Linfeng, the youngest head of the Nine Ministers in history, but the Shen family also had one of the youngest Nine Ministers. Their momentum far surpassed theirs.

"Tell me, how can we cooperate?" Jiang Hong looked at Lu Chengfeng and said.

“No matter how many of the Nine Ministers are alive now, both sides must cooperate, and the Nine Ministers Seal must be divided equally. If successful, no matter who holds the seal among the eight families, they must do their best to hold back the Four Spirits and find His Majesty and the Crown Prince as quickly as possible. Only then will this situation be resolved!” “Who will hold this one back now?” Jiang Hong pointed to the blue sky in the distance. Although he had not made a move yet, the terrifying pressure was already suffocating.

"Lord Jiang may not be alive, but he will definitely tamper with the Ministry of Personnel's Heavenly Seal. I'm afraid only your Jiang family can take over."

"Hehe, isn't it the same in every family?" An elder on the opposite side sneered.

"I'm not blaming anything. My Lu family has done this before." Lu Chengfeng said, "The Suzaku Sect is closest to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, so these two families can be supported first. Not only do they need to hold back Azure Dragon, but they also need to find someone to hold back Suzaku. The Jiang and Qi families need to keep someone to take over the seal, and the others will stay to hold back Azure Dragon and Suzaku. What do you think, senior?"

Jiang Hong glanced at the other party. He could not refuse the plan proposed by the other party. Jiang Linfeng must be saved. Even if he could not be saved, the Personnel Seal must be in the hands of the Jiang family. Therefore, it was necessary for the Jiang family to retain the Yin Shen strength. The one who controlled the Ministry of Rites' Seal was the old man of the Qi family. The Qi family was on the decline and was the most seriously declined family among the eight great families. Otherwise, Mr. Qi would not be one hundred and fifty years old and still clinging to the position of Minister of Rites.

The Lu family has been very powerful in recent years, and Lu Chengfeng gives people an unfathomable feeling. Since he is willing to stay and take the risk, and proposes that the Jiang family break out, he cannot refuse such a proposal.

"What do you think?" Jiang Hong turned and looked at his allies.

The other four families frowned but were unable to refute. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites were indeed closest to the Suzaku Gate and would be the first to provide support. The only solution was to let the two families break out first and then gather the spirits of the Nine Ministers.

"The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the Nine Ministers. In the absence of the other Nine Ministers' Seals, it can call on the other Yin Gods to temporarily obey orders. Then, with Mr. Qi from the Ministry of Rites following, it will surely be able to appease the Nine Ministers' Yin Gods and enter the palace together. This arrangement is the best plan, isn't it? Dear seniors?"

The elders behind Lu Chengfeng frowned. That being said, it was too passive for their four families.

"Boy from the Lu family, aren't you afraid of what I might do?" Jiang Hong said with a smile.

"I believe that Mr. Jiang will consider the overall situation." Lu Chengfeng said with a smile: "Although our families have been fighting for thousands of years, our underlying colors are the same. Now that the one above wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, we must not cause internal strife."

"Hahaha, good!" Jiang Hong laughed out loud: "My son is right. Among the four patriarchs, you are the most dangerous one."

"Senior is so complimentary."

"Let's start!" Jiang Hong looked ahead.

Lu Chengfeng nodded, took out the wooden box tied to his back, and with a special seal, a human-headed centipede a hundred feet in size appeared behind him, instantly making the opposite side glow with a bright green light.

The remaining few families also did not hesitate and unsealed their own Yin Gods.

Only the Jiang and Qi families did not move. Jiang Hong looked at Lu Chengfeng coldly. The Lu family's Hundred Eyes Lord seemed to have not changed much since the last time he saw him. Could it be that the Lu family had made no progress in the past hundred years? Standing still?

But this shouldn't be possible. Lu Chengfeng is a man of extraordinary talent, and his ability is no less than Jiang Linfeng's. He gave up his position as the Heavenly Official in the Ministry of Personnel, but did not take over the seal of the Ministry of Rites of the Qi family. He stays idle at home all day long, and he must be plotting something secretly. But Baimu Shenjun has not changed much. It is impossible that he is really disheartened and decadent at home, right?

For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
-
"coming!"

Outside the Mingde Hall, seeing the Qinglong Sect riot, a middle-aged man in a first-grade black official robe looked over there with a hint of a smile on his face.

It is none other than the current head of the Nine Ministers, the Minister of Personnel: Jiang Linfeng.

"It's exactly as you expected." Following behind him was the current head of the Shen family.

"The Great Elder is a decisive person. He will not run away. He will definitely break through the East Gate."

"The other four families should have come as well. I smell the unpleasant stench of the centipede." An old man in green said coldly.

"Lu Chengfeng wouldn't be stupid, he would definitely come, but I didn't expect him to be the first to activate his Yin Spirit and fight against the leader of the Four Spirits." The old man of the Shen family stroked his beard and said, "I always feel that the boy is still planning something else."

"Your kid is hiding far away, but he is probably on his way to the capital. The Yin God in the Dali Temple is very important and may be the key to today's big change."

"We just arrived in Xijing yesterday, so it's a bit risky to rush here." The head of the Shen family shook his head: "Unless he can detect it in advance."

"Yes." Jiang Linfeng said with a smile: "Uncle Shen, your child will not let you down."

"I hope so." The head of the Shen family said with a smile.

"Do you think it's really the work of Hua Ling or your Majesty as the woman said?" Jiang Linfeng looked at the head of the Shen family and asked in a low voice.

"No matter who it is..." The head of the Shen family looked at him dimly: "It's too dangerous..."

"I understand what Uncle Shen means..."
