Chapter 504: A House Full of Flowers Intoxicates Three Thousand Guests (Second and Third Updates)

The "Emperor of Heaven" came back to his senses in mid-air, and with a flick of the shimmering sword in his hand, he was about to seize the Nine Dragon Seal, but the two magic weapons had their own spirituality, and they pulled the God Capital formation on their own, fighting him on equal terms, while the long sword surrounded by purple air turned and slashed at the Emperor of Heaven.

Seeing that there was no chance and the real goal had been achieved, the "Emperor of Heaven" blocked the long sword in his hand, and the entire God Capital seemed to be slowed down, fading all colors, and even the purple long sword and the two magic weapons were slightly dull.

After drawing the sword and swinging it, the "Emperor of Heaven" suddenly had an empty breath, his body was transparent, and disappeared without a trace.

Faced with the temptation of the magic weapon, he left without any nostalgia, although he was greedy, it did not affect his own judgment and choice!

Cui Qingyu was the first to react, looking at Sima Shi and others, and recalled his sword: "Capture them!"

The purple clouds rose, the breath faded, but it was still the same, and the pressure on the long sword still made the several God Constables dare not resist.

Wang Wenxian looked at Sima Shi with complicated eyes. There were many of his acquaintances among them, but they actually colluded with evil demons!

At this moment, someone blocked Cui Qingyu. It was the head of the Song family, Shangshu You Pushe Song Shouren: "Brother Cui, wait a minute."

"Brother Song, why are you blocking?" Cui Qingyu was stunned.

Song Shouren's face was serious, pointing to the old emperor and the palace: "The culprit is dead, Sima Shi and others are just vassals, and their crimes are not punishable by death. Moreover, they may have been deceived and coerced by others. They must be interrogated fairly and cannot do things that implicate others."

"The strong men in the world all know their numbers. If they act without asking questions, wouldn't it be a waste of time to weaken themselves and give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage?"

After these words came out, Cui Qingyu's face changed slightly, and his hand holding the sword tightened.

The master of the Wang family of Jiangdong walked to Song Shouren with a smile: "Brother Cui, please calm down. I see that Sima Shi and others have given up resistance. It is better not to draw the sword."

Wang Siyuan, who had not entered the illusion array and had not joined the battle, watched the whole thing from a high platform in the distance. At this time, he whispered: "It is indeed the emperor star that is swaying, the 'Emperor of Heaven' has returned, and the beginning of the catastrophe..."

He seemed to be here purely to verify something.

After the Wang family of Jiangdong, the masters of the Zhang family of Longnan, the Sima family of Xiliang, the Zheng family of Hengyuan, and the Ruan family of Langya also woke up. Taking advantage of the situation to destroy the Zhao family of Shendu would only make wedding clothes for the Cui family of Pingjin!

Before, I tried every means to restrict the royal family from producing Dharma bodies again, so as not to be suppressed by the Zhao family, which controlled the name of righteousness and resource advantages. At this moment, should I go against my original intention and welcome the Cui family with Dharma bodies to replace the Zhao family?

Isn't this just making myself uncomfortable?

Compared with this, a weakened Zhao family in the Divine Capital is more in line with their own interests and can also involve the Cui family!

Moreover, with the excuse of Zhao family's immorality, it is a great opportunity to seize benefits and extend their hands into the Six Gates. Those divine detectives who do not belong to the Zhao family will see the situation clearly and can hit it off with a little luring!

The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit!

Cui Qingyu pondered for a while, and smiled: "You are right."

The incident happened suddenly, and his family was not prepared at all. Not to mention the negotiation, they have not contacted other families about similar matters and negotiated the exchange of interests. If they are not united, it's fine, they can go with the flow. Now, they can't take it by force, they must plan slowly, accumulate food, and build high walls-with swords in hand, it is not difficult to kill those who oppose with the power of the body, but the top families are based in their own Zhou County, and they are only representatives. If they act rashly, it is equivalent to falling out with other families.

The Zhoujun Wang family hated collusion with evil, but the situation was stronger than people, so they could only acquiesce to everyone's choice.

At this time, the formation completely collapsed, revealing the people inside, the prince, the king of Jin, as well as Zhao Heng, Meng Qi, Ruan Yushu and Qi Zhengyan.

Among them, the prince and the king of Jin fought each other and were both injured, each breathing, especially the king of Jin was in danger.

And Zhao Heng "stayed away" from Meng Qi and Qi Zhengyan, standing by the river.

Ruan Yushu sat cross-legged, his face pale, and his skin seemed transparent. Ruan Yushu's uncle flew over, waved his hand to help him breathe, and healed his wounds, and at the same time took a deep look at Meng Qi.

Fan Changmiao's body fell to the side, no one cared about it. For the big guys, the killing of the martial arts champion who did not go to the outdoor scene was a trivial matter. The important thing was to return to the political hall to discuss the division of interests and announce to the world that the mythical "Emperor of Heaven" was the Dharma body!

"Uncle, Fan Changmiao is the Six-Destroyer Demon, and the head of the Ningzhou Gu family may be the Illusionary Demon." Meng Qi said concisely.

Ruan Yushu's uncle's eyes twitched slightly: "Six-Destroyer Demon? How could he hide the truth?"

Outsiders did not know the specific strength of the Six-Destroyer Demon, so he was not surprised at all that Meng Qi killed Fan Changmiao.

After getting Ruan Yushu's nod of affirmation, Ruan Yushu's uncle reported the matter to the bigwigs in the Political Affairs Hall and quickly sent people to capture the Illusionary Demon.

…………

The Su Family of the Marquis of Shenwei.

Meng Qi had just figured out what happened, and lamented that the Emperor of Heaven appeared and Zhao Wuyan failed, so he was sent back home, because the bigwigs had no time to deal with them.

After it got dark, Su Li and Su Yue just returned, their faces were not good, especially Su Li, who went directly into the ancestral temple.

Meng Qi followed in, looked at Su Li's back, and whispered: "Father, how is it?"

"It's much better than I expected. All the major families are very interested in the Six Gates. The Ruan family even personally tried to win over your fifth uncle, promising to let him get through this storm safely. Now the Political Affairs Hall is still arguing about how much to weaken the royal family. Pingjin Cui and Zhou Junwang hope to weaken the royal family to the maximum extent, such as the number of Zhao's divine detectives and the number of members of the Political Affairs Hall directly under the royal family, but other families are unwilling to do so. They only propose to reduce it slightly and deprive the Zhao family of control over the Emperor's Sword." Su Li said slowly without turning his head.

Meng Qi nodded slightly. A too weak Zhao family is not in the interests of other families. It will only make the Cui family the only one in power.

"As for the candidate for the throne, the crown prince was directly excluded. Currently, the dispute is only between the King of Jin and the King of Wei. Originally, the Cui family proposed that the Grandmaster's branch inherit the throne, but the Zhou Jun Wang family was firm in their attitude and said that the legitimate and illegitimate families should not be confused. Other families also hope to stabilize the Zhao family's heart by punishing only the main culprit and not involving others. Anyway, after this incident, whoever becomes the emperor will be equally weak..." Su Li talked about the affairs of the royal family with a faint sadness.

"What about you?" Meng Qi asked sharply.

Su Li chuckled twice, still without turning his head: "Assisting the emperor to collude with the outsiders, depriving the title of Marquis of Shenwei, can no longer hold any position, and cannot leave the Divine Capital in this life. Originally, I had to abolish my martial arts. Fortunately, Langya Ruan and the Zhou Jun Wang helped a few words, so I avoided this disaster."

"It's good to be able to save the entire Su family." Meng Qi said calmly.

"It's a pity that the title was taken away. I feel ashamed of my ancestors..." Su Li's voice trembled slightly.

Meng Qi took a deep breath and asked again: "Father, now you can finally tell me why you sent me to Shaolin?"

Su Li sighed: "At that time, your mother died of exhaustion, and Su Yue secretly instigated the Ke family to regard you as a thorn in their eyes. Your grandmother can see all these things, but on the one hand, you are the pillar of the family, and on the other hand, you are a powerful in-law. Add the two together, and it is clear at a glance, so you can only make a cold decision."

"Back then, your father was deeply trusted by the emperor. If I say that I can't protect you, it would be a lie, but at that time The emperor has colluded with Luojiao. As a father, I am worried that there will be a disaster in the future, which will destroy the entire Su family. I cannot let the Su family cut off its bloodline because of my blind loyalty, so I will follow the trend and send you to Shaolin. Others may not know, but I know that your uncle is in Shaolin. He will notice it without any reminder. "

"Sure enough..." Meng Qi had guessed that the emperor had colluded with Luojiao. Now it has finally been confirmed. He closed his eyes and felt that the last shackles of his flesh were broken, his body and mind were in harmony, his soul was lively, and there was no hidden danger!

Su Li smiled softly and said, "Father, I once wanted to be a passionate man, but I couldn't escape the responsibility of the family. I wanted to take the responsibility of the family's rise and fall, but I made the inner house restless and my title was taken away. I wanted to be loyal to the emperor, but I thought that he turned a blind eye to the action of destroying Tianmen and secretly harmed my son, and he didn't have the heart to commit suicide and be buried with him. At this point in my life, I have failed everywhere. It's really sad..."

Meng Qi didn't take up this topic. His voice was calm and peaceful: "Father, I want to send out invitations to invite people to the banquet tomorrow."

"Ah?" Su Li looked back in surprise, with tears in the corners of his eyes.

Holding a banquet at this time to invite people?

Now people are panicking, why would they think of holding a banquet?

Meng Qi said calmly: "A banquet like the Xingyun Banquet."

Su Li suddenly realized, surprised and happy: "You want to create an opportunity to rise to the top in one step?"

He thought of He Jiu and Wang Siyuan.

Meng Qi nodded and didn't say much.

"Good, good! With you, my son, this world is enough." Su Li laughed loudly, looking very comfortable.

What does it mean to ascend to heaven in one step?

As long as he doesn't die young, he will at least be a master!

And he will advance much faster than ordinary people, just like Su Wuming advances one level a year!

Su Li's expression was full of relief and sigh: "Father will send someone to deliver the invitation immediately."

As for who to say, with his experience, he will not make a mistake.

Just as Meng Qi was about to leave the ancestral hall, Su Li whispered: "By the way, Ziyue is not your biological sister."

"Huh?" Meng Qi was quite surprised.

"She is the blood of the Tang family in Long County." Su Li sighed, "The Tang family was wiped out in the past, and your mother was very sad. Your father took the opportunity to go to Xizhou. Although he did not find your uncle, he found that some of the direct descendants of the Tang family were not in the ancestral home at that time and escaped the disaster. However, due to worry and anxiety, Ziyue's parents' health had collapsed and they were exhausted, and she was still in her infancy. Your father brought her back and raised her under your mother's name as an illegitimate daughter. You were still young at that time, and I'm afraid you can't remember this."

Meng Qi was quite relieved: "Master will be very happy."

…………

Prince Jin's Mansion.

Prince Jin, Bai Qigu, Yan Chong and others looked at each other in silence, waiting for the news in the government hall, but there was endless dispute inside, and it was afraid that it would take a few days to make a decision.

Even if a servant sent an invitation to Bai Qigu and Yan Chong.

"Kuangdao is holding a banquet? Why is there a banquet at this critical moment?" Yan Chong frowned.

Bai Qigu's eyes lit up: "You have never fought with Kuang Dao, so you don't know his specific realm. This is an opportunity to imitate He Jiu and seek to ascend to heaven in one step. Does he want to resist the combination of you and me?"

"It should be a challenge to the combination of Yan, Cui Zhe, and Wang Zai, or a life-and-death battle with you alone." Yan Chong guessed Meng Qi's thoughts.

Bai Qigu smiled and said, "No matter what kind of person it is, being able to fight with someone who is expected to ascend to heaven in one step is really exciting!"

Pingjin Marquis Mansion.

Cui Zhe of Ziji Sword looked at the invitation in his hand, smiled, and whispered, "Kuangdao imitated He Jiu's old story."

"The undercurrents in the world are turbulent, and more and more people want to ascend to heaven in one step." Cui Qingyu was not a member of the Political Affairs Hall, so he did not argue. He stayed at home, stroking his beard, and was quite emotional.

When was the last time this happened?

That was the era of the Demon Buddha's chaotic world that only existed in history books!

Cui Zhe smiled and said, "It's a pity that only my nephew, Yan Chong and Wang Zai are in the top ten of the human list in Shendu. There is no grand occasion of Xingyun Banquet. Time is still too short. Only Shendu warriors are invited."

"Three people joining forces is enough. Unless it is a life-and-death battle, Kuangdao is not as good as He Jiu in group battles." Cui Qingyu judged the characteristics of both sides' martial arts very accurately. Then, he comforted Cui Zhe and said, "Don't force yourself to reach the sky in one step. The monk Kongwen was only half a step to perfection back then, but he also achieved the Dharma body. Isn't it the same for Mr. Lu of Huamei Mountain Villa?"

After saying that, he had a little expectation: "I wonder what level Kuangdao can achieve, like He Jiu and Wang Siyuan, or like Su Wuming in the past, shining for a hundred miles..."

Huanhou Mansion.

Wang Zai read the invitation, his face showing his thoughts: "Xiao Meng has finally come this far. It seems that he is not far from a breakthrough at the Qionghua Banquet today. It's just right to help him."

Langyahou Mansion

Ruan Yushu's uncle played with the invitation, watching Ruan Yushu's pale face slowly fade away, and said with relief: "Not bad, not bad, this boy is really outstanding. If he succeeds, he can be a master."

Ruan Yushu chewed the dried dragon fish, and it was inconvenient to speak. He nodded gently, but was a little confused.

Guangling Marquis's Mansion.

Wang Siyuan stroked the bumps on the surface of the invitation, smiling, as if he was looking forward to it.

The Wei Palace and other families were also invited, mainly for those above the nine orifices and below the external scene. Of course, the strong people of the external scene would also be invited to watch the ceremony and prevent accidents.

The news swept the entire Shendu like a tornado, and the streets and alleys that were still discussing the changes in the day were taken away by this matter.

Although the changes in the royal family were drastic, they mainly involved the families. There was no sign of losing control at present, and it seemed that they had little to do with themselves. As for the matter of opening up, who knows if one day he will be the protagonist!

For a while, there was a lot of discussion, and everyone compared this banquet with the Xingyun Banquet.

"I heard that Kuang Dao killed Fan Changmiao, no, Liu Mie Renmo, and now he is in full swing, I'm afraid he can really ascend to heaven in one step!" Someone sighed.

Someone else was worried for Meng Qi: "This time is not as suitable for strong people as Xingyun Banquet. Maybe Kuang Dao's pressure is not enough and he can't ascend to heaven in one step? At that time, He Jiu killed Buddha Heart Palm, Daoqi Changhe, Qinglian Gongzi and Kuang Dao, four masters in the top ten of the human list. Later, Suan Jin Cangsheng and Juejian Fairy joined. Now, there are only four people in the top ten of the human list in the capital, including him, which is a big difference!"

"Yes, and how can the human list at that time be compared with the human list now?" Someone echoed.

"Yan Chong should be stronger than his past self. Cui Zhe's Buddha Heart Palm is similar to that of the Xingyun Banquet. Wang Zai becomes stronger when facing stronger opponents, and is not much different from the Qinglian Young Master at that time. The combination of Qi Zhengyan, the god and demon who descended to the world, and Leng Yue Qinxian can also resist the mad sword that day. This part is not much different from the Xingyun Banquet. Only the later Suan Jin Cang Sheng and Jue Jian Fairy, there is really no one who can replace them in the current God City. Do they have to rely on the advantage of numbers?" Someone analyzed it carefully.

"Maybe, maybe he will challenge Bai Qigu and other perfect half-step?"

"How is this possible? No matter how strong the mad sword is, it is not a perfect half-step opponent, and it can't have the effect of sharpening and oppression. Didn't He Jiu dare to try it back then?"

"Maybe the mad sword will have to fight ten people alone?"

The streets and alleys are full of discussions, analyzing the challenges that may appear tomorrow. The atmosphere is warm, the emotions are high, and there is endless expectation.

Shenwei Hou Mansion, Meng Qi's courtyard

Su Ziyue, who knew the news, came to Meng Qi excitedly: "Second brother, you, you are going to challenge all the strong men on the human list to join forces tomorrow?"

"Who told you?" Meng Qi sat on the stone and listened to the wind and admired the moon, smiling warmly.

Knowing that Su Ziyue was from the master's lineage and was considered a cousin, Meng Qi felt even closer to her.

Su Ziyue blinked: "No one told me, but isn't it normal? The Xingyun Banquet is like this..."

Her cheeks were flushed and her smile was excited: "Tomorrow I can see my second brother show his power and ascend to the sky in one step!"

After a pause, she said embarrassedly: "Second brother, did I disturb you? You should adjust your mood, warm up your spirit, and prepare for tomorrow..."

"It's okay, it won't delay much." Meng Qi said with a smile.

Seeing his second brother's assurance, Su Ziyue felt relieved and asked curiously, "Second brother, how confident are you that you can ascend to heaven in one step? How many masters do you plan to challenge tomorrow?"

Meng Qi tapped the table lightly, leisurely: "Do you know about ascending to heaven in one step?"

"Of course." Su Ziyue thought his second brother was testing him, "It means opening the gate between the eyebrows, building a bridge between heaven and earth, and directly connecting the inside and the outside without stabilizing or adjusting. Only those whose inner heaven and earth are extremely close and harmonious with the corresponding heaven and earth laws can succeed, because ascending to heaven in one step will be envied by heaven and there will be punishment from heaven."

"Then do you know what realm you need to reach after the Nine Apertures to reach the sky in one step?" Meng Qi took a sip of tea, his tone was gentle, he seemed to be unconcerned about tomorrow's challenge, and he was still in the mood to instruct his sister.

Su Ziyue was still young and had not yet opened her mind, she shook her head and said, "I don't know."

Meng Qi gently patted the stone table with his left hand: "After the Nine Apertures, you need to cultivate the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows. If you don't have a good technique, or you break through hastily before reaching the communication between heaven and man, you will be at the bottom of the half-step external scene. There are contradictions and rejections between the inner world and the outer world, and it is difficult to meet. The hope of the external scene is slim. It is called the worst, or the inferior."

"Yeah, I know this." Su Ziyue nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. The aristocratic families in the capital of the gods require their qualified children to at least reach the communication between heaven and man before breaking through.

Meng Qi looked at the cold moon and continued, "When you cultivate the ancestral acupoint between the eyebrows to perfection, you will be able to communicate with nature and man. When your realm is stable, you will be able to break through to the normal half-step external scene, or the middle grade. There is no contradiction or rejection between the inner and outer world, but it is not close enough. You need to spend a lot of time to adjust and polish it, so some people can break through to the external scene, and some cannot."

"After the ancestral acupoint between the eyebrows is perfected, you can comprehend the world, your body and mind are in harmony, and the inner and outer world gradually become harmonious. This is the unity of nature and man. Every move you make has the power close to the normal half-step. When it is perfect, you will be able to break through to the perfect half-step, with great power, and have a hidden control over the laws of heaven and earth. It is very scary. You can fight against the abnormal half-step external scene, which can be called the upper grade. You only need to wait for the fire to be enough, and you can break through naturally."

Su Ziyue listened very attentively and did not interrupt.

"When you reach the state of unity between heaven and man, if you can initially determine the path that suits you, you can use this to adjust your inner world. When the adjustment is completed, you will return to your original state, which basically exceeds the state of your inner world before the perfect half-step breakthrough. It's just that you don't have that much power to stir up the heaven and earth, and your control over the law is not enough. Only in this way can you have the foundation to ascend to heaven in one step. Those who practice martial arts need to have lofty ambitions. Even if you can't ascend to heaven in one step, you can still aim for this." The moonlight fell, bathing Meng Qi in the bright light.

Su Ziyue's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously: "Second brother, have you returned to your original state?"

Meng Qi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and smiled without saying a word.

The night breeze was cool, the moon was shining, and the capital of the gods returned to peace after a day of hustle and bustle.

And Meng Qi was enjoying this peace.

…………

The next day, Cui Yan, Wang Wenxian and others were still arguing in the government hall. Zhao Jingshi, who had guarded the imperial mausoleum last night, returned to Beijing and secretly visited the Marquis of Langya and the Marquis of Guangling. The Zhao family in Shendu seemed to have lost their royal dignity and returned to the ranks of the top families.

In a remote courtyard, Gu Xiaosang, dressed in white, looked at the sun gradually rising in the sky, waiting for the affairs of Shendu to calm down. Her temperament was ethereal and her expression was calm.

Near the Su family's villa, many people from the rivers and lakes gathered. Although they could not see the grand occasion, if there was a strange phenomenon of ascending to heaven in one step, they would be able to see it first.

"Cui Zhe of the Purple Extreme Sword is here..."

"The long river of sword energy is here... and Bai Qigu!"

"Wang Zai is here..."

"The Ruan family's Qinxian is here too, and the Minister of the Honglu Temple..."

The low calls seemed to be brewing the upcoming fight between dragons and tigers, one dragon challenging many tigers!

Just thinking about it makes people excited!

Carriages stopped outside the courtyard. Wang Zai, Cui Zhe and others nodded to each other. They all saw that the other party was restrained. Even if they wanted to help Meng Qi, they could not lose their face in the battle.

Bai Qigu was eager to try and entered the courtyard first.

The banquet was held in the martial arts hall of the courtyard. It was very spacious and filled with tables. Meng Qi sat in the main seat, dressed in a blue shirt, and smiled and nodded.

Fearing that Meng Qi's momentum would be taken away from him and affect his breakthrough, Su Li and Su Yue did not come out, but helped secretly from behind to prevent accidents.

The guests greeted each other and took their seats. Not long after, they were all there. Yan Chong, Bai Qigu, Cui Zhe and others looked at Meng Qi. It was time to start.

Meng Qi smiled slightly: "Everyone, please be patient, enjoy the singing and dancing, and taste the wine first."

Huh, it's different from the Xingyun Banquet... Everyone was surprised, but thinking that it might be a different way of entertaining guests, they were relieved.

The music was lively, the singing and dancing were beautiful, and the wine was mellow and sweet, but no one was in the mood to enjoy it.

After the singing and dancing, Meng Qi waved his hand and flicked his green shirt.

Bai Qi Gu narrowed her eyes, feeling that a fight was about to begin.

At this time, Meng Qi was still sitting cross-legged, with a leisurely posture, and smiled: "This time, I invited all the distinguished guests to come, not to challenge them."

Ah? Yan Chong, Wang Zai, Cui Zhe and others were all stunned, not knowing why, Wang Siyuan frowned rarely, as if he understood something!

Meng Qi's mouth was curled, with a slight smile:

"Just invite you to watch the ceremony."

Watch the ceremony? Wang Zai's heart moved, and before he could think of it, he felt that the surroundings were suddenly dark, and he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.

The people outside the courtyard also couldn't see the things nearby.

"Huh?" In the government hall, the big guys who were arguing at the same time exclaimed, because it was pitch black nearby.

Gu Xiaosang, who was looking up at the sky with a plain face, had dark pupils in his eyes and his expression was slightly moved, and it was unclear whether he was shocked or surprised.

The sun disappeared, and the whole world was shrouded in darkness!

Suddenly, Wang Zai saw a "star" "jumping" out from his hand, scorching but dazzling, like a clear and beautiful flower.

He looked around blankly, and saw stars in front of the guests and everywhere in the hall, shining brightly and dreamily, illuminating the darkness!

"This is..." Wang Wenxian and the members of the Political Affairs Hall looked at the bright stars that appeared and were speechless for a moment.

Gu Xiaosang was slightly stunned, stretched out his hand, and touched the brilliance not far above his head. His slender hand passed through and felt a little burning, like a dream or reality.

Wang Zai looked at Meng Qi in astonishment, only to see that he was emitting an aura that was almost like the outside world, and his eyebrows slowly cracked, dark and deep!

His inner world was almost like the outside world, and he could have broken through directly long ago, but he suppressed it by force?

The stars stood out in the God's Capital, like flowers in full bloom, shocking everyone and intoxicating their minds.

Somewhere in the northwest, in Xijian Pavilion, a sword light suddenly flew up, broke through the restraints, and illuminated a hundred miles. The surroundings were lonely and quiet, and only a few people could see it!

The flowers in the hall intoxicated three thousand guests, and the sword frosted fourteen states!

A six-thousand-word chapter, it is definitely not vague when it is said that there will be more updates on the weekend!

I have to go out in the afternoon, and there is another chapter to be written in the evening, and it will be updated around midnight~

The flowers in the hall intoxicated three thousand guests, please vote for the monthly recommendation!
