What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 362 Uncle, don't do it! I'm your own nephew!
Lin Moyin and the White Snake Spirit watched the giant hand disappear with drastic changes in their expressions!

The devil's hand that fell from the sky came quickly and left even faster!

In the blink of an eye, they severely injured Lin Moyin and the White Snake Spirit, and kidnapped Su Mo and Bai Susu!

Clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation!
They could have easily killed Lin Moyin and the White Snake Demon with just one more strike, yet they couldn't even afford to waste a little time!

Su Mo was grabbed in mid-air by a giant hand and found that all his magical power was imprisoned, and he could not move at all!
The demoness Bai Susu was the same.

Squeezed together with Su Mo, they were swept up by this terrifying magical power, their entire bodies feeling as if they were squeezed into Su Mo's arms, almost like sandwich fillings, unable to move at all.

She buried her entire head in Su Mo's chest, unable to see anything, only feeling the intense masculine scent constantly entering her nostrils!

She couldn't help but curse the old eunuch under her breath.

After struggling for a while and finding it was futile, I could only resign myself to my fate.

At this moment, Su Mo no longer cared about Bai Susu in his arms.

I was careless after all.

We shouldn't stop Bai Susu.

However, even if he doesn't make a move, the Heavenly Mother Sect's Heavenly Infant, who is lurking in the shadows, will still take action to capture him!
He now finally understands the terror of a true Celestial Infant.

He possessed numerous magical treasures, along with a Dharma image and an external elixir from the Yellow Springs.

Confidence is the power to make even a master alchemist helpless.

As it turned out, Tianying easily defeated him by simply making a move from a distance!
Ultimately, even magical treasures cannot bridge such a vast gap in cultivation levels.

The sound of whistling wind filled their ears as the magical power carried Su Mo and Bai Susu away at high speed, leaving Su Mo utterly shocked!
He had never heard of a teleportation technique that could take someone flying with it!
However, since the other party did not kill him on the spot, but chose to kidnap him.

He's probably out of danger for the time being.

Now we can only hope that the Empress will come to our rescue in time, otherwise we will die sooner or later!
Under such overwhelming power, he had absolutely no chance of escaping from the opponent's grasp!
……

In the Lizheng Hall, Xiao Yuan and the other Grand Secretaries were in relatively good spirits as they reported the donation situation to the Empress.

The situation was urgent, so they began lobbying that very night.

Sure enough, the effect of using the monument as a powerful tool was remarkable. Coupled with the face and connections of the elders, even wealthy merchants and noble families had to reluctantly agree to donate.

There's no need to offend the cabinet and leave behind a bad reputation for all eternity, tarnishing the family's honor, all for a few thousand taels of silver!

The key issue is that everyone else donated, but I didn't. What will others think of me if I don't donate?
Xiao Yuan, seeing the somewhat relieved expression on the face, said, "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I have not disappointed you. I have raised 37,000 taels of silver!"

"Wang Cifu and others raised a total of more than 92,000 taels of silver."

Although the other elders believed that the responsibility of erecting a monument would remain firmly with him, Xiao Yuan wasn't the only one to step forward; other elders were also involved in sharing the burden.

The Empress was overjoyed to hear this.

Su Lang's suggestion was indeed effective!
A single word from him is worth more than 100,000 taels of silver!

It seems that while reputation is the most powerful asset of powerful families, it is also their weakness.

If we want to deal with them in the future, we can think of ways to do so from this perspective.

The Empress smiled and was about to offer words of encouragement to Xiao Yuan and the others, to give the elders a pep talk and inspire them to keep up the good work.

Suddenly, a red shadow appeared, and the Blood Eagle flew in.

The Empress was slightly taken aback. She reached out and took the Blood Eagle, then took out the cloth and the note to read it.

Her phoenix eyebrows immediately furrowed!

Have the people of the Heavenly Mother Sect infiltrated the capital again?

Was it a holy maiden from the Heavenly Mother Cult who arrived?

Do they intend to use the earthquake in Tiannan Road to cause trouble?

Hmm... Su Lang also had contact with the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Mother Cult? Was it Su Lang who foresaw the Heavenly Mother Cult's attempt to destroy the Ancestral Emperor's Mausoleum?

Why didn't the Embroidered Uniform Guard report this matter?

Countless thoughts raced through the Empress's mind in an instant.

Seeing the Empress's expression, Xiao Yuan and the others naturally turned their suspicious gazes toward her.

However, since the Empress did not reveal such a secret letter, Xiao Yuan and the others could not inquire about what had happened.

The Empress casually put away the cloth, glanced at Xiao Yuan and the others, and said indifferently, "I just received a secret letter."

"The people of the Heavenly Mother Cult have reappeared near the capital. My beloved ministers, please be extra careful."

Xiao Yuan and the others instantly became awe-inspiring.

The Heavenly Mother Cult is a major threat to the Great Wu, and its sudden appearance must be for some ulterior motive.

The cabinet ministers immediately linked this matter to the earthquake in Tiannan Road.

"Your Majesty! I believe this matter is definitely related to Tiannan Circuit!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Yuan said in a deep voice, "There are millions of disaster victims in Tiannan. If they are misled by cults, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"We must immediately investigate the Heavenly Mother Sect's plot and inform Lord Chi of Tiannan Dao to keep a close eye on this matter, lest the Heavenly Mother Sect's conspiracy succeed!"

The Empress nodded: "I will make the arrangements."

As she spoke, her face turned cold: "The remnants of the previous dynasty, the Heavenly Mother Sect, are delusional! They are like scabies, rats in the sewer, not worth worrying about. I will eradicate them completely sooner or later!"

The Empress paused, then softened her voice: "You all have put in a lot of effort in this fundraising effort."

"However, it is only a little over 100,000 taels of silver, which is a drop in the ocean. We still need you, my dear ministers, to continue to persuade the wealthy households and merchants in the capital to share the burden of the court and generously contribute."

Xiao Yuan and the others felt a pang of bitterness in their hearts, but could only agree.

Just as the Grand Secretaries were preparing to take their leave.

Then another blood eagle flew in.

The Empress frowned as she took the Blood Eagle and read the message.

The next second, her pretty face suddenly changed color!

An incredibly terrifying rage arose within him!

"What a courage!"

With the Empress's angry shout, a chilling killing intent instantly enveloped the entire hall, causing Xiao Yuan and the others to freeze in place.

It was Yuan Xingdao, the highly accomplished Director of the Imperial Observatory.

They all felt their magical power frozen stiff by the Empress's terrifying aura, making it difficult to circulate!
Before anyone could understand what had happened...

Without uttering a word, the Empress left the six Grand Secretaries of the court in the Lizheng Hall and vanished outside in a flash.

A gigantic blue shadow, accompanied by an overwhelming and terrifying demonic aura, took flight from somewhere in the palace; it was an extremely large blue phoenix!

Xiao Yuan and the others hurriedly chased after her outside the palace, only to see the Empress unleashing a boundless rage as she stood on the back of the Azure Phoenix and flew swiftly toward Lonely Peak Mountain!

The group of senior officials looked at each other in bewilderment.

what on earth is it?

Could it be... that something happened at Lone Peak Mountain?
Just as the Grand Secretaries were in shock, another bright red figure rose out of thin air from the inner palace and rushed toward the Empress. It was none other than An Wu, the eunuch at the Heavenly Infant Realm!
The group of senior officials were completely speechless.

What major event has occurred that requires the Empress and An Wu, two Heavenly Infant Realm cultivators, to personally take action?

However, whatever happened, it was definitely a huge incident!

……

Su Mo was enveloped by dark cloud-like magical power and flew for an unknown amount of time.

All I could hear was the howling wind, and the speed was probably over 200 kilometers per hour!

It must have flown extremely far away from Lonely Peak Mountain.

Then, Su Mo suddenly realized that her body was falling rapidly, and her speed had slowed down considerably.

Once everything stopped completely and the dark clouds dispersed, Su Mo finally regained his mobility, but the magical power within his body was still imprisoned by a terrifying magical force.

Bai Susu regained her mobility, her face slightly flushed, and hurriedly pushed Su Mo away, breaking free from his embrace.

Su Mo was gently pushed by Bai Susu and staggered several times before finally regaining his balance.

He took a deep breath and turned to look around.

They found themselves in a very damp cave. The cave seemed extremely deep and dark, but strangely, the cave walls were covered with fluorescent moss, which allowed them to barely see their surroundings.

But before Su Mo could get a clear look at his surroundings...

A dark figure suddenly appeared; it was an old man in black robes with a hunched back and an extremely sinister expression. But this face gave Su Mo a strange sense of familiarity.

It's like I've seen it somewhere before.

The old man looked at Su Mo expressionlessly, then asked Bai Susu in a hoarse voice, "Have you obtained the immortal seed?"

Bai Susu was slightly taken aback and looked at the old man: "Eunuch Chen?"

Chen Hai nodded slowly: "Not bad!"

Bai Susu frowned slightly: "Why does Eunuch Chen have a different face?"

Chen Hai gave a sinister smile: "With corrupt officials from the imperial court around, it's best to be cautious!"

Although Bai Susu didn't say that she had obtained the immortal seed, Chen Hai had already seen the sweet potato vine she was holding, so he didn't ask any more questions and his gloomy gaze fell back on Su Mo.

Then he raised his withered, claw-like hand and reached for Su Mo's right shoulder.

Bai Susu's expression changed, and she instinctively stepped in front of Su Mo, forcefully blocking Chen Hai's sharp claws.

Even though Chen Hai withdrew his strength, Bai Susu was still shaken back a few steps by his terrifying magic power and bumped into Su Mo's chest again!
"Eunuch Chen, what are you doing!"

Bai Susu stared intently at Chen Hai with a dark expression.

A sinister glint flashed in Chen Hai's eyes, and he said coldly, "It should be our master asking Lord Bai!"

"Why is Lord Bai protecting this boy?"

"This young man is already at the Divine Transcending Realm, and has even refined an external core, making him no different from a Golden Core cultivator!"

As he spoke, Chen Hai gave Su Mo another sinister look, his murderous intent undisguised: "He has many magical treasures protecting him, and even the Heaven and Earth Transformation Divine Power!"

He snorted coldly, his murderous aura intensifying: "If this brat is not eliminated, he will surely become a great threat!"

Su Mo immediately realized something was wrong.

Is this old eunuch going to kill me?

Why did you kidnap me and bring me here?
Also, why would Bai Susu stop the old eunuch?
Just as Su Mo was frantically trying to figure out a way to escape, Bai Susu frowned and said, "The demon-slaying staff is on this person!"

"Not only was it refined by him, but it also became his natal magic weapon!"

"Eunuch Chen must know that if we kill him, we won't get our hands on the natal magic weapon either, right?"

Su Mo felt a chill run down her spine again.

It turns out they came for the demon-subduing pestle.

It all made sense.

It must have been that day that the Demon-Subduing Pestle underwent a strange change, and was locked onto by the Nine Dragons Demon Dao's divine sense, which led them to send this old eunuch to seize his Demon-Subduing Pestle parts!
Who is this old eunuch?
In the Heavenly Mother Sect, besides the Nine Dragons Demon Path, there is actually such a terrifying Heavenly Infant True Person?
Sure enough, Chen Hai gave a sinister snort: "If it were a normal refining process, it would be easy to handle; we could just force him to use the Demon-Subduing Pestle. But now that it's been refined into a natal magic weapon, it's indeed troublesome!"

Bai Susu's face darkened: "If that's the case, does Eunuch Chen still intend to kill him?"

Chen Hai chuckled: "When did we say we'd kill him!"

"But I plan to tear off his limbs just in case!"

He paused slightly: "This boy has many tricks up his sleeve, and his magical powers and treasures are endless. He is truly bizarre. He can even refine the ninth-grade magic treasure, the Demon-Subduing Pestle. In my thirty years of cultivation, I have never heard of such a strange thing. How can we be careless!"

After saying that, Chen Hai's face suddenly darkened, and he looked coldly at Bai Susu: "Lord Bai, please step aside quickly, lest things get complicated and you force me to take action against you!"

Bai Susu's expression changed, and she was about to speak, but Chen Hai impatiently waved his hand, and Bai Susu was sent flying uncontrollably!

Then, the old eunuch spread his ten fingers and grabbed Su Mo's wrist like an eagle's claw!

The villain dies because he talks too much!

Chen Hai knew, of course, that he was the villain!

Upon seeing this, Bai Susu's expression changed drastically!

Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do!

At this critical moment, Su Mo suddenly shouted, "Chen Jin, stop!"

Chen Hai's ten fingers were already gripping Su Mo's wrists, his sharp nails even digging into her flesh. With just a little force, he could tear Su Mo's arms off.

Upon hearing Su Mo's loud shout, they instantly stopped moving!

His expression shifted between anger and uncertainty as he stared intently at Su Mo. His voice suddenly turned icy cold as he spoke, each word distinct and sharp: "What did you just say?"

Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief!

The bet was right!
Eunuch Chen! Thirty years! And this face, even in disguise, still feels vaguely familiar!

This is definitely my uncle who has been missing for thirty years!
Thanks to my third uncle's family for their strong genes!

My three uncles look exactly alike!

Su Mo took a deep breath and looked at Chen Hai with an extremely serious expression: "Uncle, I'm your nephew! My own flesh and blood!"

Even someone as gloomy as Chen Hai was stunned at this moment.

Su Mo spoke very quickly, as if afraid that if she spoke too slowly her hands would not belong to her: "My mother is Chen Yuxiang, nicknamed Xiangmi'er, my second uncle is Chen Zhong, and my third uncle is Chen Qian!"

"There's also an older uncle named Chen Jin!"

Chen Hai's body stiffened instantly. He stared at Su Mo in disbelief, his gaze lingering until Su Mo became uneasy. Only then did Chen Hai release his grip, staggering back a few steps, his voice trembling: "You...you...you are Xiang Mi'er's son?"

Su Mo nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

He then emphasized, "I am my mother's only son! My second and third uncles are still counting on their nephew to adopt a child in the future and carry on the family line of the Su and Chen families!"

Chen Hai took a deep breath, staring intently at Su Mo for a long time, his body trembling, and a hint of tears even appeared in his sinister and vicious triangular eyes.

"So alike! So alike! Just like Xiangmi'er!"

He closed his eyes and exhaled.

When he opened his eyes again, they had regained their sinister look, with a hint of determination. He suddenly reached out his claws and swiftly pulled the stunned Bai Susu to his front.

Then the withered palm pressed down on Bai Susu's crown!

Upon seeing this, Su Mo immediately cried out in alarm, "Uncle, don't kill her!"

Chen Jin was taken aback, his eyes narrowed, his sparse old eyebrows furrowed, and he looked coldly at Su Mo: "Why?"

Then he said coldly, "Do you know that if she doesn't die, it will be you and me, uncle and nephew, who die!"

As he spoke, his palm remained pressed against Bai Susu's crown, showing no intention of letting go.

Bai Susu's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled slightly.

Su Mo glanced at Bai Susu and sighed inwardly.

She tried to stop Chen Hai one after another, and even left a message warning herself.

If I were to stand by and watch her die at the hands of my uncle, how could my Dao heart be at peace?

A true man has things he will do, and things he will not do!

He took a deep breath and said slowly, "My nephew and Susu are deeply in love and have long been engaged!"

Fearing that his uncle might not believe him, Su Mo added, "Su Su had previously sent a warning to her nephew about locusts, telling him not to leave the capital!"

Chen Jin frowned deeply: "Really?"

Su Mo nodded emphatically: "How could a nephew dare to deceive his uncle!"

"Your uncle can hand her over to your nephew, and he will guarantee that she will not be allowed to leave Lonely Peak Mountain!"

Chen Jin snorted coldly: "If you want to be trusted by your uncle!"

"unless……"

Su Mo asked instinctively, "Unless what?"

Chen Jin then released his hand from Bai Susu's crown, pointed at her withered finger, and said in a sinister tone, "She is still a virgin!"

"If you want your uncle to believe you, then do it to her right here in this cave!"

"After she gives birth to the Su family member, your uncle will let you leave!"

Upon hearing Chen Jin's words, Su Mo was immediately dumbfounded.

Bai Susu also opened her mouth, her expression complicated, unsure of what to say.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jin's face immediately darkened, and he said coldly, "Didn't you say that you and she were already deeply in love and had secretly pledged your lives to each other?"

"Does he have to officiate your wedding in order to take her body?"
