Peerless Taoist

"That's right. If even Master Lu isn't afraid, what are we afraid of?"    

"This time, the number one position on both Lu shi's rankings has attracted the attention of the entire Heaven Realm. I don't believe that the Crown Prince would dare to go against Lu shi!" Some disciples slammed their hands on the table and stood up in excitement.    

Chai Longxiang said, "I'm not worried that you will pass the court examinations. I'm just worried that you might be assigned to the border if you offend the Crown Prince."    

Li Si frowned. "Lu shi has the status of first on both the civil and military rankings. Even if he is a branch official, he should be assigned to the central hub."    

In the history of the Imperial Examinations, the top ten would always enter the central hub.    

Among them, the first three would also be given the title of "Military Flight" to participate in military affairs.    

As long as one stayed at the center, not only would they be able to run smoothly, but they would also be able to obtain many times more Fate.    

After all, the Imperial Capital was a place with boundless Dragon Qi. The Fate that one could obtain from staying here was something that other places could not compare to.    

Chai Longxiang shook his head. "The Crown Prince wants to assign someone to the central hub. Naturally, he would not allow Lu Yu to continue staying in the central hub. Lu Yu's strength had already far surpassed those trusted aides of the Crown Prince. As long as Lu Yu stays in the central hub for a day, those trusted aides of his will never have a chance to rise. For the sake of his plan, he must expel Lu Yu. "    

A disciple asked in confusion," Your Highness, if Lu shi is sent out, with his strength... I believe he would be able to easily obtain battle credits. If he stays in the Imperial Capital, he would be restricted by the Crown Prince. It would be better for him to accumulate battle credits faster after leaving the Imperial Capital. Isn't that better?"    

"If it was in the past, this would not have been a bad thing."    

Chai Longxiang said in a deep voice, "What I am worried about is that they will let Lu Yu go to the border and face the Tang army directly!"    

Everyone's heart sank.    

Currently, in the Imperial Capital, the Tang Dynasty had become everyone's taboo and could not be easily found out.    

Regarding the matters of the Tang Dynasty, many cultivators only knew some clues from the imperial court's official residence, but they didn't know how the situation at the front line was.    

However, high-level imperial clans like Chai Longxiang had their own informants all over the place, so they were much more well-informed than them.    

"Is the Tang Dynasty really as terrifying as the rumors say?" Someone asked in a trembling voice.    

Chai Longxiang let out a long sigh and said, "Do you think an ordinary opponent would allow the Emperor to leave the Imperial Capital? A few days ago, I received news that one of the Eight Great Divine Marquises, the Divine Saber Marquis... He was killed by the Tang Dynasty's delinquents and died on the battlefield. Now, the Duke of Shan Yang, Deng Tong, had changed his title to the Divine Talisman Marquis and replaced the position of the Divine Saber Marquis. This news will spread out in a few days."    

Gasps of cold air resounded in the surroundings.    

"That's the Divine Blade Marquis, one of the Eight Divine Marquises. He's one of the most powerful Marquises in the imperial court. Even they were killed. This is unbelievable! "    

" First, it was the Minister of War, Di Zhan, then the Divine Blade Marquis. No wonder the number of people participating in the Imperial Examination this time is less than usual. Most of them had probably joined the Tang Dynasty. I thought it was just a small rebellion, but I didn't expect it to develop to such an extent. "    

Many of the people present were either shocked or terrified.    

It had been too long since something like this had happened in the Heaven Realm.    

Many cultivators were used to cultivating steadily under the rule of Great Yu's Heavenly Dynasty. It was no longer the chaotic era of killing and seizing treasures.    

This was almost a groundbreaking event. If Tang Dynasty really conquered the territory, they, as new cultivators, did not know what to do.
