Peerless Taoist

A carriage, escorted by a group of people from the Rising Dragon Army, headed for the city gate.    

"Damn it! This Lu Yu dares to be so arrogant. He doesn't even put the Imperial Court in his eyes!"    

One of the Red Eunuch gritted his teeth and cursed non-stop in the carriage.    

At this moment, the five eunuchs who came to deliver the imperial edict were sent out of Xianyang by Lu Yu on the same day.    

This showed his attitude. Lu Yu did not welcome Zhao Yuanyan's faction to come at all. He did not even have the proper etiquette and directly sent them out.    

Once the eunuch officials in the Imperial Palace walked out, it represented the face of the Imperial Family.    

No matter where they went, they would be warmly treated. When did they encounter such treatment today?    

"This kind of words, it is better to not say it. What do you think the Emperor can do to Lu Yu?" The eunuch who passed the Imperial Decree let out a long sigh.    

He sat on the chair with his hands tucked in his sleeves.    

Red Eunuch was furious. "He is still the Governor of East Victory, and also a subject of Great Yu. Sitting and accepting the decree is already a great disrespect. Does he want to rebel?"    

"So what if he revolts? Don't you forget that the Human Emperor Sword recognizes him." The eunuch lightly said.    

As soon as he said that, the entire carriage immediately quieted down.    

Those who obtained the Emperor Sword were the masters of the Heaven Realm and the human race.    

This was a rule that had been passed down since the ancient times.    

If one were to really look into it, Lu Yu should be the emperor of Great Yu, while Zhao Yuanyan had claimed the throne on his own accord. He had usurped the throne, rebelled, and had an unorthodox background.    

No one said a word.    

Shen Linglong had already caused a great dispute when she had taken over the throne of the Zhao family. They had never thought that the Human Emperor Sword would still not belong to them even after the Zhao Family had finally taken back the throne.    

After a long time, one of the eunuchs said unwillingly, "Why would the Renhuang Sword acknowledge a foreign official?"    

These eunuchs had power from the Zhao family, so they were loyal to the Zhao family.    

The eunuch who had passed the decree did not speak. He looked out the window.    

The sun was setting and dusk was approaching. Xianyang City was as bright as a forest in the darkness, singing and dancing. It was a lively time.    

Above the sky, the spiritual energy was like a long dragon, spanning tens of thousands of miles. It was on par with the Imperial Capital.    

This scene that was full of vitality formed a sharp contrast with the scene of the killing intent and suppression in the Imperial Capital.    

"The Emperor is not a match for Lu Yu!"    

The eunuch who passed the Imperial Decree let out a long sigh in his heart and slowly extended his hand out of his sleeve.    

Only when he got close to Lu Yu would he be able to feel that kind of terrifying pressure. That kind of momentum that was like the collapse of the earth and mountains made him unable to say a word of disobedience.    

This kind of pressure was something he didn't feel when he was beside South Emperor.    

As an Emperor, he was unfathomable.    

On this point, Zhao Yuanyan was still too far away.    

...    

"Sir, the 19 main forces of the Rising Dragon Army, the War Fighting Legions, are gathering. Are you really going to throw in so many troops?" Zhang Yi sounded anxious.    

He had come to see Lu Yu after he had received Lu Yu's order.    

Lu Yu was sitting on the table with a pen in his hand. He was reading a document.    

Hearing this, Lu Yu did not even raise his head and only said lightly, "What? What do you think?"    

Zhang Yi said, "The South Emperor's idea is very obvious. Since he personally issued the decree to request us to send troops, he must have taken a liking to the combat strength of the Dragon Stallion Army. Once we enter the battlefield, we will definitely become the main force of the battle. At that time, the Imperial Court will sit back and watch us fight the Tang Army. We'll use up our strength."    

" The South Emperor has wanted to annex the Qianlong Army for a long time. He doesn't dare to make a move now. It's because our army is very powerful. However, if we fight with the Tang Army, we will suffer serious losses. If we are not strong enough, we will become fish on the South Emperor's chopping board."
