On a street in the Imperial City, the commander of the Imperial City Guards, Wei Cheng, was waiting for the results with a team of 100 soldiers. Unexpectedly, a voice instantly pushed him to the front.
"City Guard Army Commander Wei Cheng is here!" Wei Cheng led the 100-man army towards the east gate.
At this time, in the sky above the east gate, facing Fan Dongfang's questioning of Wei Zhongxian, a false accusation was placed on Wei Zhongxian's head.
Feng Wufa's expression calmed down. He looked at everything with interest and did not say anything.
Wei Zhongxian looked at Fan Dongfang coldly and said,""If you want to know my background, you can follow me to the palace to meet His Majesty!”
Fan Dongfang's gaze was equally sinister. He looked at Wei Zhongxian and said faintly,""You are powerful and have been by His Majesty's side for a long time. I think it's better to take you down first and hand you over to His Majesty for decision. This way, even if you have other schemes, it will increase the chips in His Majesty's hands!”
As Fan Dongfang spoke, the other Celestial King Patriarchs had already begun to move.
"Wei Zhongxian is the Head Eunuch of the Imperial Palace, and his words represent the will of the Emperor. Fan Dongfang, do you have any objections?”In the Imperial Palace, the Celestial King Patriarch Ying Chen's voice rang out. At the same time, his spiritual will phantom appeared in the air. The might of the Celestial King was emitted. Together with Wei Zhongxian, they resisted the power of the six Celestial Kings of the Civil Official Group.
However, compared to the other Celestial Kings, Su Tianyang, the ancestor of the Su family, stood at the back. His aura was the weakest, and it felt like he was hiding behind them.
Fan Dongfang's expression was grave when faced with Ancestor Yingchen's question. He was also considering whether the imperial family's attitude would lead to a true fight to the death if he continued to push. One thing was certain: if the two sides fought to the death, they would be the ones to die. Thus, he was unwilling to accept a fight to the death.
Fan Dongfang would never fight to the death until the last step. Moreover, the other five families might not be willing to fight to the death with him. Now, the Su family had such a sign.
"I dare not!" In the end, Fan Dongfang could only lower his head with a dark expression.
Lowering his head, the immortal king's aura was greatly reduced. The other immortal kings started to retreat.
Feng couldn't see Fan Dongfang lower his head, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Once the imperial family and the civil officials fought to the death, the imperial family could destroy the factions of the civil officials, but their losses would be extremely serious. At that time, without the threat of the civil officials, the sects and factions could easily interfere and control the court, or even the imperial family.
If Fan Dongfang lowered his head, the civil officials would have no choice but to retreat.
"Wei Cheng, listen up. Clear out an area for these sect experts to live in immediately. If anything happens to their residence, you will be held accountable!”After Wei Zhongxian gave an order to Wei Cheng, the commander of the city guards, he was unable to return to the palace with Feng.
The city guards were under the control of the civil officials. Once there was a problem, Ying Feng had a reason to intervene in the city guards 'affairs.
"Yes, sir!" Wei Cheng did not dare to disobey the order. He could only accept it with a bitter face. Then, he arranged for his subordinates to clean up the area and left the east gate with the other sect experts.
The six ministers and the six ancestors of the six great families were gathered together. Other than Su Tianyang, whose expression did not change, the other five ancestors had extremely heavy expressions.
This time, they had once again lost in the clash with the imperial family, and it had also dealt a huge blow to their prestige.
"Ever since the purge of the Imperial Palace, the balance that had been maintained has changed again and again. The imperial family has become more and more unyielding, and what's even more terrifying is their plan. Our six departments of civil servants are also under great threat. How could he reverse this unfavorable situation?”Fan Dongfang sat on the main seat and swept his gaze across the various ancestors. In the end, his gaze stopped on Su Tianyang of the Su family.
"Old Ancestor Su, what do you think we should do?”Fan Dongfang asked faintly.
Originally, the six families were united as one. However, things were different now. Su Tianyang's previous actions had already made Fan Dongfang extremely uncomfortable.
If it was in the past, Su Tianyang would have panicked when faced with such a situation. However, it was different now because he could step on another path with one foot, and that path seemed to be wider.
"Sigh, I can't think of anything at the moment!”Su Tianyang pondered for a moment before shaking his head and sighing.
"Su Luoluo has been in the palace for some time now. Why hasn't there been any news about the palace? Su Tianyang, has your Su family sided with the imperial family?”The Li family ancestor, who was close to the Fan family, said coldly.
"After the imperial palace was cleansed, the imperial family's Immortal King experts had already sealed the imperial palace. Even Immortal King experts like us couldn't secretly send messages to the imperial palace without alerting the imperial family's Immortal King, let alone Su Luoluo!”Su Tianyang glanced at the Li family ancestor and said indifferently.
"Old Ancestor Su still needs to work harder. Otherwise, we'll be very passive!”The Tie family ancestor advised.
"I'll try my best!" Su Tianyang nodded his head. He naturally did not want to start a dispute with these people now.
"Right now, we have an even more urgent matter to deal with. The sects will definitely interfere in the matters of the imperial court under the leadership of the imperial family. How should we deal with the alliance between the imperial family and the sects?”The Chen family ancestor, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, said in a deep voice.
His words made Ancestor Fan and the others stop making things difficult for Ancestor Su.
"What else can we do? Now, we don't even know what the royal family will do next. When the time comes, what can we do other than firmly oppose it? The interests of the General's Estate do not overlap with ours. If we don't touch the interests of the General's Estate, it will be very difficult for us to obtain their support. The local nobles of the various provinces have deep conflicts with the royal family. We can ally with them, but they are far away in the various provinces. It will be very difficult to quickly contact and ally with them!”Elder Tie said helplessly.
"No matter how difficult it is to unite, we have to do so. Quickly send people to contact the various marquises and tell them everything that is happening in the Imperial City. What we have to do is to drag it out until the various marquises enter the Imperial City and join forces with us. Then, we will resist the alliance between the imperial family and the sects!”Fan Dongfang said in a deep voice.
"That's the only way!" The other patriarchs agreed with him.
In the current Imperial City, their civil officials were weak. If they were to rely on themselves to fight against two families, they would only end up bleeding.
The six families continued to discuss for a while before dispersing.
After Su Tianyang returned to his Su Family, the other five Patriarchs gathered together again. This was Fan Dongfang's doing.
"The Su family is now very close to the imperial family because of Su Luoluo. This is equivalent to having another choice. So, what should we do about the Su family?”Fan Dongfang said directly.
As soon as he said this, the other families also fell silent. The Su family's situation and thoughts were already very different from theirs, but some people did not want to speak first.
