You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Northern Frontier, Daliang Palace.

"Hasn't Mr. Liu taken care of state affairs for five years? Why did he suddenly summon us here today?" One of the ministers asked the person next to him in a puzzled look.

"Alas... If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, it can't be avoided! I have been doing my duty and being cautious in the past five years. I just hope that no disaster will happen." Another minister responded worriedly after sighing lightly.

At this time, many ministers gathered outside the palace, and the scene was bustling and noisy.

Everyone was whispering and discussing with each other, all trying to guess why Liu Yuntian had called this temporary court meeting.

Among this group of ministers, Fang Qing arrived the earliest. He was seen standing quietly at the front of the crowd, his eyes closed, his brows furrowed, and his face filled with deep worry.

The reason why these ministers gathered here was actually that they were waiting for a key person - Lord Qian.

At this moment, as Lord Qian had not yet arrived, even though they had arrived outside the palace for a long time, they still did not dare to step into the hall rashly.

After all, if Liu Yuntian suddenly got angry and wanted to chop off a few heads for fun, if no one came forward to protect them, the consequences would be disastrous!

"Oh, it's strange. Lord Qian has always been a very punctual person. I don't know why he hasn't shown up today?" At this time, an official in the Fengchang Office couldn't help but muttered sadly.

Unexpectedly, his words immediately aroused strong resonance among other ministers around him.

"That's right! The agreed time is approaching. If we continue to delay like this, I'm afraid that person will blame us, and none of us can bear the consequences!" Someone echoed, his tone full of fear and uneasiness.

"Oh my, look over there, isn't that Bachelor Qian?" A cry of surprise suddenly came from the crowd. It turned out that a sharp-eyed person was the first to see the son of Lord Qian.

This shout was like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly shattering the relatively calm scene.

In an instant, Master Qian, who had just stepped into the palace, was like a magnet, attracting the attention and footsteps of people around him.

In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by the crowd, forming an impenetrable human wall.

People asked questions at once, and their voices rose and fell like a group of bees buzzing around a blooming flower.

Someone couldn't wait to ask, "Master Qian, can you tell us when your father will show up?"

Another person also quickly echoed, "That's right, Master Qian, we are all eagerly looking forward to the elder to give us some advice. If he doesn't come, I really have no idea what to do!"

What's more, an official came forward with a flattering face and said: "Are you feeling unwell, Mr. Lord? I have recently been fortunate enough to obtain an extremely precious spiritual medicine. I would like to present it to you so that you can replenish your body!"

Faced with so many enthusiastic inquiries and concerns, Mr. Qian always maintained a humble and polite attitude.

With a smile on his face, he answered everyone's questions one by one in a leisurely and calm manner.

However, despite his eloquence, he was unable to cope with the overwhelming wave of enthusiasm at the moment.

While he tried his best to explain, he shook his head helplessly, and even some beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Finally, Master Qian couldn't stand it anymore. He stretched out his hands and kept pressing down in front of him, while raising his voice and shouting: "My Lords and Elders, please be quiet for a moment! The time is almost up, we should hurry into the hall and don't let Mr. Liu wait too long!"

When they heard the name "Mr. Liu", they all froze for a moment as if they were suddenly cast under a spell, and the awe-inspiring figure appeared in their minds.

Thinking of Liu Yuntian, whom they hadn't seen for five years, everyone couldn't help but shudder subconsciously.

Everyone had no choice but to walk slowly towards the hall one after another.

At this moment, officials from the Prime Minister's party had already followed closely and entered the hall with Fang Qing.

Everyone who entered the hall, without exception, took a deep breath the moment they stepped over the threshold, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

However, these people who had experienced the ups and downs of officialdom quickly calmed down, quickly adjusted their emotions, and walked to their positions in an orderly manner.

The reason why they were so shocked was because Liu Yuntian looked so old now.

You know, in the past five years, Liu Yuntian has never appeared publicly in the court.

Except for a very small number of Jinyiwei and generals of the National Protection Army, basically no one knew that Liu Yuntian had aged to this extent.

At the same time, everyone's hearts were filled with curiosity and doubts.

Even if he is just an ordinary mortal, under normal circumstances it is impossible for him to age so quickly in just five years!

So, what exactly caused Liu Yuntian to become what he is now?

If it weren't for the fact that the powerful aura emanating from Liu Yuntian had hardly changed, many people present would probably even doubt whether the wrinkled, white-haired old man in front of them was really the young man who was full of vigor and heroic back then.

Fang Qing turned around quickly and glanced around, only to see that people had arrived one after another, and their numbers seemed to be about the same.

So, he took a big step forward without hesitation and said respectfully to the front: "Mr. Liu, most people have arrived!"

Just as he finished speaking, Manager Jin, who was standing beside him, suddenly widened his eyes and glared at Fang Qing fiercely.

Originally, counting the number of people and reporting the arrival situation to Mr. Liu had always been his job.

I didn't expect that the first opportunity to communicate with Liu Yuntian that I had finally had in the past five years was snatched away by this guy Fang Qing!

For a moment, Manager Jin felt extremely depressed and filled with resentment.

At this time, Liu Yuntian, who was sitting above, slowly opened his eyes, revealing a sense of majesty.

He looked around at everyone present, then asked, "Why hasn't Lord Qian arrived yet?"

Hearing Liu Yuntian's question, Qian Xueshi, who was standing below him, hurriedly took two steps forward and answered respectfully, "Mr. Liu, my father is old and his mind has become a little unclear in recent days. In order not to delay your important work, Mr. Liu, I let him rest at home."

According to common sense, if a minister fails to attend a meeting on time and does not ask for leave in advance, he would be committing a crime of disrespect.

However, Liu Yuntian has never cared much about these cumbersome official etiquette.

For him, what really matters is who can actually do things.

Moreover, he knew exactly what Lord Qian was thinking.

This Lord Qian is an old monster who has become extremely cunning and clever!

What is insane?

This is obviously just trying to avoid disaster!

He must have anticipated that he would abandon the land of Daliang. Perhaps at this moment he is busy packing his luggage at home, preparing to submit his resignation to the court!

However, this has long become irrelevant to the Liang State today.

After long years of development and accumulation, Liang State has ascended to the pinnacle of power, overlooking everything in the world.

And Lord Qian, with his outstanding talents and wisdom, has managed Daliang in an orderly and prosperous manner for many years.

At this moment, his mission has been successfully accomplished, leaving behind an extremely powerful and well-founded country.

In this vast continent, more than half of the peerless powerful people gathered in the northern border like stars.

This place has become a key place for people all over the world to hone themselves and break through their limits.

Only by defeating the Daliang Immortal Dynasty, which is at its peak, can one have the capital to challenge the Supreme Heavenly Dao.

The powerful effect of the blasphemy will inevitably be successfully triggered in this shocking battle, showing a terrifying power that shakes the world.

"In that case..." Liu Yuntian slowly closed his eyes, as if he wanted to block out all the noise and disturbance from the outside world.

He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, as if this could calm his mood.

After a long while, he opened his eyes again, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

He raised his head slightly, glanced at everyone present, and then continued in a slightly hoarse but still steady and powerful voice: "Then I will issue the last decree today."

This sentence was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves and shocking everyone.

For a moment, the entire hall fell into deathly silence. People looked at each other with expressions of astonishment on their faces.

Then, whispers surged like a tide.

"The last decree? What does it mean? Does it mean that Lord Liu is going to retire from the court?" A minister asked in a low voice with a puzzled look on his face.

Another person frowned and speculated: "No way? Could it be that Mr. Liu is about to die..."

However, before he could finish his words, he seemed to suddenly realize that he had said the wrong thing, and he quickly covered his mouth, his face turning pale.

"quiet!"

At this moment, Manager Jin, who was standing nearby, looked gloomy and swung the whisk in his hand violently.

There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the whisk drew an arc in the air, bringing up a gust of wind and making a loud air explosion.

This sudden sound was like thunder, instantly suppressing the noisy discussions.

"You guessed well."

Liu Yuntian's face was as pale as paper, and his originally straight spine was now slightly hunched. Only with the careful support of Manager Jin did he slowly stand up.

He trembled as he moved to the edge of the platform, glanced at the huge crowd below, and said in a low but clear voice: "My time is almost up."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience, and everyone was whispering and discussing.

However, before the noise subsided, Liu Yuntian immediately threw out another bombshell: "So, I have decided to go into seclusion from tomorrow to break through and seek the opportunity to ascend to heaven, so as to prolong my lifespan!"

In an instant, the whole scene was like a lit powder keg, and it exploded in an instant.

The audience fell into chaos again, with all kinds of giggles and discussions rising one after another.

For these officials, this is undoubtedly great news!

Because as long as Liu Yuntian is in seclusion, they will have the decision-making power over all matters big and small in the court.

If Liu Yuntian fails to break through during this retreat, then as time goes by, he will eventually die due to the exhaustion of his lifespan.

Even if he succeeds in breaking through by chance, according to convention, Liu Yuntian will ascend and leave, and will have nothing to do with this world from then on.

No matter what the final outcome is, the world of Daliang will surely fall into their hands!

At this time, Jin Dachuan, who had been standing silently beside Liu Yuntian, could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

He opened his eyes wide, staring at the group of officials below the stage who were vying for power like flies to a piece of rotten meat. His chest heaved violently, his anger was evident in his words.

In his opinion, the reason why Liang State could be as prosperous as it is today was entirely due to the efforts of Liu Gong alone.

If it weren't for Mr. Liu's painstaking efforts and wise decisions over the years, the Qiyang Continent would have probably fallen apart long ago. I wonder how many ambitious people would have wanted to be king and dominate, and how many treacherous people would have been able to open up holy places and establish sects!

A bunch of short-sighted people!

Jin Dachuan subconsciously wanted to wave the whisk again to curb their ugly faces.

But this time, Liu Yuntian stopped him: "I like their crazy look... Don't disturb their fun."

Jin Dachuan quickly bowed and said yes.

"Jinyiwei, Huguojun...you can take them all, Daliang Xianchao...take them all!"

Jin Dachuan supported Liu Yuntian and walked out of the hall.

After hearing Liu Yuntian's words, the joy in the hearts of the ministers had already reached the sky.

But they still showed reluctance in front of Liu Yuntian, and some even started to wipe their noses and tears, "Mr. Liu!!!"

"I can't bear to leave you!"

"Without you, we are leaderless. Where will this Immortal Dynasty go!!!"

Hearing this, Liu Yuntian stopped.

This action made everyone's heart tighten and cold sweat broke out.

Could it be that he has overacted and Liu Yuntian is not going to retreat anymore? !

No, you are Liu Yuntian, a man of your word! You can't go back on your word!

Go back and meditate obediently!

Many people were roaring in their hearts, but on the surface they could only pretend to be surprised.

"The prime minister and the cabinet remain unchanged, and the rest... the nine ministers will divide it up."
