Chapter 2266: Chapter 1956: Earth Realm Strange Breaks Through the Sealing?

Seeing the scene at the Deceit Suppression Bureau, Cheng Ran suddenly felt cold sweat pouring down. What exactly happened at the Deceit Suppression Bureau?

With so many Earth Realm Strong Persons at the Deceit Suppression Bureau, all severely injured, who attacked the Deceit Suppression Bureau?

Cheng Ran quickly approached Ji Yunmeng and asked with concern, "Your Highness, are you alright? What just happened? How did the Deceit Suppression Bureau end up like this?"

Ji Yunmeng spat out a mouthful of blood, and the maid beside her immediately supported Ji Yunmeng. Ji Yunmeng weakly said, "Re... report immediately, there’s an Earth Realm Strange attacking the Deceit Suppression Bureau, aiding those five Earth Realm Stranges to break through the sealing..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Yunmeng fainted, and upon hearing her words, Cheng Ran was momentarily too stunned to react, his mind blank.

An Earth Realm Strange attacked the Deceit Suppression Bureau? And they even released the Earth Realm Stranges that were sealed by the Deceit Suppression Bureau???

The sky is falling!!!

Coming back to his senses, Cheng Ran wasted no words and immediately turned around, heading straight for the Imperial Palace.

At this moment.

Observatory.

The evening breeze caressed the jade cheeks and hair of the beautiful woman, Pei Shuhua, who stood under the moonlight, gazing toward the direction of the Deceit Suppression Bureau.

The commotion at the Deceit Suppression Bureau was so great that almost everyone in the Capital City felt the battle there, and Pei Shuhua was no exception. After realizing something had happened to the Deceit Suppression Bureau, she ascended the Observatory, gazing toward its direction.

At this moment, flames soared at the Deceit Suppression Bureau. Although she couldn’t clearly see the current situation there, from the sight of the flames, it was apparent that the Deceit Suppression Bureau faced some crisis.

Pei Shuhua spoke to the air, "Go to the Deceit Suppression Bureau immediately and see what exactly has happened."

As soon as Pei Shuhua finished speaking, a figure appeared behind her, who, after receiving orders, turned into a fleeting shadow and went straight to the Deceit Suppression Bureau.

Just then, the voice of the maid rang out behind Pei Shuhua, "Madam, Commander Cheng requests an audience!"

Hearing this, Pei Shuhua knew Cheng Ran was probably here to report on the situation at the Deceit Suppression Bureau, so she said coolly, "Let him come up."

Moments later, Cheng Ran arrived at the Observatory. Upon reaching Pei Shuhua, Cheng Ran couldn’t bother with formalities and immediately said, "Madam, something terrible has happened. The Deceit Suppression Bureau is in trouble!"

Seeing Cheng Ran’s pale face, Pei Shuhua had a vague feeling of foreboding and promptly asked, "What happened?"

Cheng Ran replied, "An Earth Realm Strange attacked the Deceit Suppression Bureau, helping the sealed Earth Realm Stranges break their seal. Now, all the experts at the Deceit Suppression Bureau are severely injured, and even Princess Yun’an is critically wounded."

Upon hearing this, Pei Shuhua’s eyebrows instantly furrowed, her expression turned very serious.

Did the Earth Realm Stranges break the seal?

If that’s the case, then Dazhou might face a crisis of destruction next.

Pei Shuhua hurriedly said to the maid beside her, "Immediately inform all ministers to gather in the Hall of Political Affairs for an important discussion!"

...

An hour later, almost all the court ministers gathered in the Hall of Political Affairs. Most of the ministers still did not know what had happened, but they were aware that something significant must have occurred; otherwise, the Empress Dowager would not have summoned everyone late at night.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, the Empress Dowager directly told Cheng Ran, "Tell them what just happened."

Cheng Ran quickly stated, "Earlier, an Earth Realm Strange attacked the Deceit Suppression Bureau, helping the five sealed Earth Realm Stranges break the seal. Now, all the experts at the Deceit Suppression Bureau have suffered severe injuries, and even Princess Yun’an is in a coma."

Upon hearing Cheng Ran’s words, all the ministers in the court gasped, and the princes were even more ashen-faced.

Those Earth Realm Stranges actually broke free!

More importantly, there was an attack by an Earth Realm Strange on the Deceit Suppression Bureau, meaning there are more than five Earth Realm Stranges in Dazhou now. The Deceit Suppression Bureau has many experts, and to severely wound them all indicates the number of attacking Earth Realm Stranges was significant tonight.

Instantaneously, the entire hall was in chaos.

"How did Earth Realm Stranges suddenly emerge in the Capital City?"

"This is the end! Those five Earth Realm Stranges have been released; they will surely retaliate against Dazhou!"

"How useless is the Deceit Suppression Bureau, unable to even guard the Demon Suppression Tower!"

"What do we do now? We don’t even know the immense cost we paid back then to seal those five Earth Realm Stranges!"

...

Pei Shuhua coldly swept her gaze over the noisy hall, and a spiritual evil inadvertently emanated from her body. The next moment, the ministers felt a terrifying pressure, and they quickly silenced, saying no more.

Pei Shuhua then asked, "Do any of you have any plans?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Upon hearing Pei Shuhua’s question, the ministers exchanged glances with one another.

At this point, a minister stepped forward and said, "Madam, the urgent matter is to quickly ascertain the whereabouts of those Earth Realm Stranges."

If an Earth Realm Strange is hiding within the Capital City, then all of them could lose their lives at any moment.

Pei Shuhua turned her gaze to Cheng Ran and said, "Commander Cheng, I entrust this matter to you. Until the Deceit Suppression Bureau recovers, find out where those Stranges went."

Cheng Ran immediately replied, "I accept the order."

Pei Shuhua then continued, "Now that the Deceit Suppression Bureau is severely damaged, it may not be able to continue its duties. What are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing Pei Shuhua’s words, the ministers’ minds became active, realizing this was the best opportunity to extend their influence into the Deceit Suppression Bureau.

However, Pei Shuhua reminded them, "The power of Earth Realm Stranges is extraordinary, and they are immortal. Attempting to reseal them is extremely difficult; this is a calamity for Dazhou. Henceforth, whether it’s the Royal Family or Aristocratic Families, all must cooperate fully."

Hearing Pei Shuhua’s reminder, those ministers considering inserting their influence into the Deceit Suppression Bureau composed themselves immediately. Anyone going to the Deceit Suppression Bureau now might face those five Earth Realm Stranges, and placing people in the bureau now is basically sending them to their deaths.

At this moment, a minister stepped forward and said, "Madam, given the rampant supernatural threat in Dazhou, we cannot do without the Deceit Suppression Bureau. Therefore, we must rebuild the bureau quickly and help the Earth Realm Strong Persons there recover rapidly. I suggest dispatching all Imperial Physicians to the bureau."

Pei Shuhua glanced at the man and said, "I have already sent all Imperial Physicians to the Deceit Suppression Bureau."

"But it will take time for the Deceit Suppression Bureau to recover its strength. During this period, someone must replace the bureau in defense against those Earth Realm Stranges."

Hearing Pei Shuhua’s words, the ministers exchanged looks. They were capable of arguing in court, but combating Earth Realm Stranges was a different matter.

They could sense that Pei Shuhua wanted their backing aristocratic families or forces to send strong individuals to combat the Earth Realm Stranges.
