Ruins of the past

The person who appeared in front of Chu Qiguang was Fei Yi, the former chief minister of the cabinet, the leader of the Tianyu School, and the Taoist Martial God who had been famous for many years.

Although the other party looked to be only in his thirties or forties, Chu Qiguang knew that this was only because Feiyi had deep martial arts cultivation and spent many precious elixirs to maintain his skin and flesh.

In fact, Fei Yi is now over sixty years old.

This man has been a famous genius martial artist in the north since he was a child. In his twenties, he was already famous in the martial arts world and won the top martial arts title in the city of Shenjing.

Later, he served in a northern martial arts school and trained generations of disciples.

Nowadays, many martial arts scholars in the officialdom have listened to his lessons, and many Tianyu-ryu masters who have resigned from office and devoted themselves to pursuing martial arts are also his descendants.

He can be said to be the Taishan Beidou of northern martial arts and scholars.

Every time Feiyi gave public lectures and taught martial arts scriptures, the venue was always full, with countless high-ranking officials and martial artists coming to listen.

However, although his personal cultivation is advanced and he is a peerless genius in martial arts, he does not have much political ambitions.

The reason why Feiyi became the first assistant in the first place was the result of the balance and compromise between the forces of all parties.

As the spokesperson of the northern giants, his main job after becoming the chief assistant has always been to balance the interests of the various forces between the government and the opposition.

Most of the time, he was demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall. What he liked to do most was to teach martial arts, raise funds to run schools, and publish books.

In one month at most, he held three classes in Shenjing City, attracting tens of thousands of martial artists to attend the classes, and was well-known in the northern martial arts world.

But Feiyi was scolded many times by Wu Siqi for seeking fame and whitewashing peace, and he was criticized for being a framer.

Since returning to his hometown after serving as an official a few years ago, Fei Yi has been cultivating his body and nourishing his body and circulating his Qi and blood every day.

Or he could take the time to teach the younger generations of the Fei family and the few disciples he had accepted, and they lived a very leisurely life.

In the eyes of outsiders, he worked hard and intrigued in Shenjing City, doing whatever it took to gain power, but Feiyi himself felt that it was all because people were in control of their own will. Even after he became an official, people kept coming to encourage him to come back to the country, and they even spontaneously ran around for him. There were countless people in the Fei family who wanted him to return to the capital.

But in comparison, he actually prefers the leisurely life he has now.

Especially after the Yunyang Chamber of Commerce started operating, the Fei family also gained a lot of benefits and made a lot of money. Fei Yi's life became even more comfortable.

Recently, he planned to build another martial arts gym specifically to train the children of the Fei family.

In the past two years, under the idle clouds and wild cranes every day, his martial arts has not retreated but advanced, making breakthroughs one after another.

Chu Qiguang's eyes glanced at Fei Yi in front of him, and he could see that there were eight haloes behind him, which was comparable to Wu Siqi, the current chief minister of the cabinet.

'I heard people say when I was in Shenjing City that Fei Yi's martial arts cultivation was not as good as Wu Siqi's. Now it seems that he has made a breakthrough after returning to his hometown. ’

Fei Yi was also looking at Chu Qiguang in front of him. This junior's name was very familiar to him, and he had heard many of his deeds in the past year.

At this moment, Fei Yi sighed softly: "He is indeed a heroic young man. I wonder what envoy Chu Zhen has to say today?"

Chu Qiguang said straight to the point: "The imperial court is about to send troops to conquer the Snow Mountain Demon Kingdom. I came here specifically today to ask the seniors of the Tianyu School to support Shuzhou."

After hearing this, Fei Yi seemed to think for a moment, shook his head and declined politely: "I have been an official for many years, and my old bones have long been unable to be broken. Ambassador Chu Zhen, please let me go."

"As for the other people in the Tianyu School, I can't control them."

Although Feiyi has become an official, he is still well-connected and well-informed in the martial arts, official circles and the capital.

Chu Qiguang's actions in Lingzhou during this period, as well as the news of the imperial court's southern expedition, naturally could not be hidden from him.

So before Chu Qiguang arrived, he and others in the Tianyu School had already guessed Chu Qiguang's purpose.

It's just that Feiyi just wants to spend time in his hometown and is unwilling to go to a wild place like Shuzhou to fight and kill.

But Chu Qiguang naturally knew that it would not be easy to get these Lingzhou wealthy people to take action.

He immediately added: "This southern expedition... Once the southwest monster clan is defeated, the entire Shuzhou will be under the control of the imperial court. When the trade routes are opened, it will not be difficult to reproduce the situation in Lingzhou."

At this moment, I saw another person coming out from behind, looking at Chu Qiguang and saying: "I heard that the monster clan in the southwest is ferocious. I wonder if Chu Zhen envoy has clearly explained the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce before going south? "

What appeared in front of him was a tall, thin young man. Although he was not a martial arts god, his eyes looked at Chu Qiguang with a calm look, as if he didn't care about Chu Qiguang's identity and power at all.

Chu Qiguang glanced at the other party and said lightly: "Who is your Excellency?"

Fei Yi introduced: "This is Liu Chongyun, a martial arts master from the north. He comes from the Liu family in Linhe County and studied under the martial arts god 'Ji Sun'."

Chu Qiguang nodded slightly. He had already known about it before he came, and knew that the Sun-thorn Martial God was one of the retired old Martial Gods in the Tianyu School.

He looked at Liu Chongyun and asked, "Are you here to speak for other people in the Tianyu School?"

Liu Chongyun in front of him said: "I hope that the Chu Town Envoy will divide the powers and responsibilities of the Chamber of Commerce before he is willing to go south. If something happens to you in Shuzhou, there will be a response within the Chamber of Commerce."

"In this way, our Tianyu School cannot send people to support Shuzhou."

Chu Qiguang stared at Fei Yi in front of him and asked coldly: "What are the rights and responsibilities of the Chamber of Commerce?"

Liu Chongyun recalled the explanations given by the old warriors behind him, and said: "You have always controlled Zhixin Bank alone, and even the major shareholders don't know the situation inside..."

Chu Qiguang knew as soon as he heard that someone was trying to make a bank account.

This bank, established after last year's shareholders' meeting, was very humble at first, only accepting funds from stock transactions.

But in the past year, with the continuous increase in stock trading volume and the popularity of various financial management and fund products from a large number of shareholders, the scale of funds in branch banks has become increasingly terrifying, making countless people feel jealous.

In particular, Chu Qiguang has always been very restrained towards these wealthy and distinguished families in Lingzhou, and has always used benefits to win over them.

In matters involving chambers of commerce and stocks, he has always been reasonable and disciplined, and has given them a lot of benefits.

So this time they found out that Chu Qiguang wanted something from them, and many people's thoughts were moved.

It's okay to support Shuzhou, but you, Chu Qiguang, have to give us something good in exchange, just like before, give us more benefits.

What's more, in the view of Tianyu School, Fei Yi and several old martial arts gods are superior to Chu Qiguang in terms of strength and influence, and they should be given more money.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang smiled slightly after listening to Liu Chongyun's words.

He turned his head, looked into Fei Yi's eyes, and asked, "I wonder if this is the meaning of the seniors or the meaning of others in the Tianyu School?"

Fei Yi felt a terrible pressure coming towards him, but he smiled slightly and said calmly: "I am not an expert on the Chamber of Commerce matters, so I am neutral on this matter."

"But I have one thing to say. Since the major shareholders have opinions on this, I think Ambassador Chu Town should also listen to it. Let's talk carefully and don't take action."

Chu Qiguang felt from the other party an attitude of not actively participating but not giving up easily.

Obviously the other party didn't want to confront Chu Qiguang head-on, but if Chu Qiguang was suppressed, Feiyi wouldn't mind taking a piece of the pie.

This sounds like neutrality, but in fact it is also slightly biased towards the side of Tianyu School.

Liu Chongyun took advantage of the situation and said: "After all, swords have no eyes, and Chu Zhen envoys don't know what dangers they will encounter when they go south to fight. Explain the affairs of the branch bank in advance to avoid conflicts in the future."

"Besides, how much money does the major shareholder have in the bank? It's unreasonable that they can't even interfere with the bank..."

Chu Qiguang looked at the other party's chatter and said coldly: "Who are you? Is it your turn to say such things to me?"

"Tell the people behind you that if you want to talk about the credit bank, make an appointment and have them come and talk to me in person."

Liu Chongyun was suppressed by Chu Qiguang's momentum. Hearing what the other party said, he felt shocked and angry.

But thinking of the Martial God behind him and Fei Yi standing next to him, he still straightened his back and said: "What I said today is what these old Martial Gods meant."

Liu Chongyun snorted coldly and said, "If Chu Zhen makes you insist on holding on to the credit bank, then there will be no discussion."

Chu Qiguang: "Have you said enough?"

"In the past, I was more polite when speaking in Lingzhou. It seems that some people thought I was too talkative."

Chu Qiguang smiled coldly, stretched out his hand to bring up Dao Gang Qi, and grabbed Liu Chongyun.

"Stop!" Fei Yi's eyes flashed with anger when he saw this scene. Of course, he couldn't let Chu Qiguang get violent and hurtful in front of him.

I saw Fei Yi also taking action, his right arm rising out of the sea like an angry dragon, piercing the atmosphere, and fiercely cutting off Chu Qiguang's outstretched right hand.

Chu Qiguang opened his mouth to drink, and the Zen sound of the Buddha's Throat was activated. The thunder of the sound caused ripples visible to the naked eye and shot out in all directions.

Liu Chongyun's body immediately shook, his mind went blank, and he almost lost control of his body.

Fei Yi on the other side paused slightly, but the next moment he accelerated and poked Chu Qiguang's right elbow.

All he saw was the flaming aura turning into layers of whirlpools blocking his way.

Fei Yi just wanted to penetrate the Gang Qi with one finger, but he felt that after his finger force collided with the Gang Qi, it was like a mud cow sinking into the sea, being deflected layer by layer by the vortex of Gang Qi.

But after all, he is a senior martial god who has entered the Dao. His luck can break through the Gang Qi with a shock, but he is only slightly delayed.

But just like this, Chu Qiguang had cut off a right arm from Liu Chongyun.

Fei Yi looked at this scene with shock and anger.

He never expected that Chu Qiguang would take action immediately without giving him, the former chief assistant, any face: "Chu Qiguang!"

Gang Qi circulated in Chu Qiguang's hand, turning into layers of whirlpools of flames that wrapped around the severed arm.

He said slowly: "In troubled times, human lives are like grass. How much do you think a human life is worth in this world today?"

Fei Yi looked at Chu Qiguang in surprise and uncertainty, somewhat unsure of what the other party wanted to say. He only felt an evil aura coming from the other party.

The next moment, he saw that Liu Chongyun's severed arm had been burned into a ball by Chu Qiguang.

The terrifying pressure and temperature erupted in the vortex of Gangqi, and the remaining flesh and blood was burned away in an instant.

The bones were completely turned into ashes, and then they were pinched hard by Chu Qiguang.

There was a loud bang, terrifying temperature and pressure erupted instantly, and the ashes began to change rapidly in Chu Qiguang's palm.

When the gang energy dissipated and Chu Qiguang spread his palms, the ashes in his palms had turned into a crystal that shone like amber.

"One person can probably refine ten gems, and a fifth-level warrior can only produce one or two more gems."

Looking at the crystal in his hand, Chu Qiguang seemed to think of the ashes diamond business he had done on Earth in his previous life. Although he could not make ashes diamonds now, he could still get a much cheaper ashes crystal.

With that said, Chu Qiguang threw the crystal in front of Liu Chongyun: "This gem is like me buying your arm."

"Take it back and tell the people from the Tianyu School and ask them how many pieces they can make. If you can make one piece, I will give up half of the control of the branch bank to you."

"If that doesn't work, let's continue talking."

After finishing speaking, Chu Qiguang's body erupted with streams of flames, and he turned around and left Fei's house.

In the next few days, the news that Chu Qiguang turned his bones into stone gradually spread throughout the top management of Tianyu School.

At this moment, in the Fei family's backyard, Fei Yi's palms were filled with strong energy, and he squeezed his palms inward.

Accompanied by the dual explosion of Gang Qi and palm power, there was a loud roar in the atmosphere.

When Fei Yi spread his palm, he could only see a dusty stone, which was torn into pieces by the shock of his luck.

Seeing that after he tried a few more times, his arm was broken at his side. The pale Liu Chongyun was surprised and said: "Master Fei, can't you even do it?"

Fei Yi sighed: "This person's divine power is probably unparalleled in the world."

Hearing Fei Yi's words, Liu Chongyun became more and more shocked: "Is this "Sumishan King Sutra" so powerful?"

"Although several other old martial arts gods in the school have exhausted their energy and blood, their bursts of moves in an instant are no less than those of the peak martial arts gods. Can't even they do it?"

Feiyi shook his head: "Refining bones into ashes is already the highest level of firepower. This alone is the martial arts energy unique to the "Sumishan King Sutra"."

"And kneading the ashes into this kind of crystal is just like the jade mined from the mountains. I'm afraid it will have the power of rushing mountains and rivers and changing the earth's veins."

"Chu Qiguang can actually do this... it's unbelievable, it's really unbelievable."

He looked at Liu Chongyun on the side and said calmly: "Go back and tell these old martial arts gods that no matter how they talk to Chu Qiguang next, our Fei family will be neutral."

"You should also advise those people. With Chu Qiguang's current cultivation and potential, it is really not worth becoming his enemy."

…

While there was constant communication within Tianyu School.

Chu Qiguang returned to Yaoyin Village, opened a door to the Buddhist world, and directed Thirteen Niang and others to come in and out.

Within the Buddha Realm, a demon Buddha more than 40 meters tall was seen standing proudly, which shocked the craftsmen of Yaoyin Village.

Zhou Yujiao kept circling around the Demon Buddha, constantly saying "so big, so tall, so big..."

The demon Buddha in front of him was transformed by the colorless monk after he became a demon, and was controlled by Chu Qiguang through magic.

After that, Chu Qiguang took some time to place a series of low-level commands in the opponent's body using the method of blood connection.

‘This demon Buddha has been staying in the Buddha Realm for a long time, so it can always be operated by Jiaojiao who can monitor the Buddha Realm. ’

'By the way, we can also let the craftsmen study and modify it...'

It should have been updated earlier today, but after checking the ashes diamonds and life crystals for a long time, it was determined that Chu Qiguang could only refine the life crystals at best, but could not refine the ashes diamonds yet.
