Peerless Taoist

The Scorching Sun Star River was close to the border. Cultivators and sects were everywhere, and all kinds of forces were mixed together. Usually, there would be a lot of rebellions.    

Plus, with the Tang Dynasty's large-scale invasion, the Scorching Sun Star River was the first to bear the brunt of it. The matters that had to be dealt with every day were inextricably linked. As the governor, Fu Zhixue would definitely be trapped in prison, and there would be endless things to deal with every day.    

Lu Yu replied, telling him not to worry about him. He now had the ability to protect himself.    

As for Xiahou Li's invitation, Lu Yu gladly accepted it.    

The Imperial Court's Imperial Examination was held on the ninth of February. At that time, all the geniuses from various places in Great Yu's Heavenly Dynasty would gather in the imperial capital to participate in the examination.    

In fact, Lu Yu did not need to go so early, because the distance between the Northern Swallow Continent and the imperial capital was one day.    

However, Lu Yu could take the opportunity to get rid of Xu Feng during the meeting with Xiahou Li.    

Lu Yu picked up his pen and sent a letter to Xiahou Li, indicating that he was willing to spend the Spring Festival with him.    

Time passed. Lu Yu stayed in the Jade Cauldron Academy for a few days before heading to the Imperial Capital.    

No one knew when he would return from this trip, so the Confucians held a banquet to send him off.    

"I keep feeling that we should have met somewhere before."    

Jiang Mingkong also participated, but her eyes had been staring at Lu Yu, trying to find some traces of him.    

Lu Yu sighed secretly. This woman's ability to observe was indeed amazing.    

After he devoured the residual soul of Emperor Taiqian, he had obtained some of his memories. With just a wave of his hand, there were traces of Emperor Taiqian.    

This woman had been with the Great Qian Emperor for a long time, so she was naturally very familiar with him.    

"Senior, you must be joking." Lu Yu didn't intend to say anything in front of Jiang Mingkong.    

The more he spoke in front of her, the more flaws he would reveal.    

After the banquet ended, Lu Yu bid farewell to the crowd and left the Jade Cauldron Academy for the Imperial Capital.    

At this time, outside Jade Cauldron Academy, there were already quite a few spies. These people were all staring closely at Lu Yu, observing his every move.    

Some of them pretended to be servants of the Jade Cauldron Academy, while others pretended to be rogue cultivators in the towns next to the academy.    

These spies thought that they were very secretive, but they didn't know that each and every move of these people was under Lu Yu's control.    

Lu Yu announced to the public that he would leave a few days later.    

In fact, after the banquet ended, Lu Yu had already crossed the Northern Swallow Continent and arrived at the border of the Northern Swallow Continent.    

Between the Northern Swallow Continent and the Imperial Capital, there was a vast and boundless ocean. This ocean seemed to be boundless, with no end in sight.    

The ocean in front of him was actually the moat of the Imperial Capital, where many fierce beasts were raised. There was no place to stand within a few thousand miles.    

If he were to fly halfway, if he accidentally fell into the ocean after exhausting his magical energy, he would most likely be buried in the beast's mouth.    

Generally speaking, when cultivators headed to the Imperial Capital, they would take a special boat.    

However, to Lu Yu, the speed of the boat was too slow. It was far slower than his own speed.    

Lu Yu flew to the sky above the sea. The sea breeze blew his sleeves.    

At this moment, Lu Yu had already flown for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. There was no longer any trace of the Northern Swallow Continent, and there was a boundless ocean everywhere.    

"You have chased me all the way. There's no need to hide. Come out."    

Lu Yu's voice echoed in the sky above the ocean.
