Peerless Taoist

The moment the Imperial Decree was taken out, it immediately sounded like a clap of thunder in everyone's hearts.    

The surrounding officials hurriedly knelt down, and out of the corner of their eyes, they saw that Lu Yu was still standing where he was, and did not make a single move.    

At this moment, everyone remembered Lu Yu's identity.    

He was the disciple of the Sage Wen!    

This identity was simply too dazzling.    

In the past, after the Taiqian Emperor abolished kneeling, many people did not think much of it.    

But now, all the officials were kneeling down, and only Lu Yu was standing there by himself. The difference in treatment was immediately revealed.    

Wang Zhen's expression was also quite unsightly.    

He wanted to berate Lu Yu, but when he recalled the events that were recorded in the history books, he immediately held it in.    

According to the rules, the disciples of the Literary Sage didn't need to pay their respects. They were brothers with the Emperor, and in terms of status, they were much higher than the ministers and internal officials.    

Lu Yu was standing to receive the decree. There were no mistakes, and even the strictest Confucians could not say anything wrong.    

Wang Zhen's face was gloomy. He opened the decree and screamed, "The Emperor has decreed that Lu Yu is in charge of the military alone. He ignores the Emperor's decree and intends to rebel. He is to be executed immediately and must not be delayed!"    

Everyone was stunned.    

Many people were stunned and stood rooted to the ground.    

Although they had been ordered to interrogate Lu Yu, they had never thought that the Emperor would actually plot to see him here.    

Especially since the Tang army was about to charge over. Killing Lu Yu at this time was a great taboo in the art of war!    

Lu Yu did not speak, but Zheng Jianglong stepped forward first.    

"Lu Yu leading the army to resist the Tang army, what crime is there? Since you all said that Lu Yu was planning to rebel, what evidence do you have!" Zheng Jianglong shouted in a deep voice.    

He was a Wu Chen, and he paid particular attention to direct confrontation. He was not afraid of Wang Zhen's identity at all.    

Wang Zhen frowned and thought for a while before saying, "He schemed for military power and ignored the imperial order. This should be a rebellion!"    

Zheng Jianglong was furious. "It's just an unwarranted imperial edict. What can you use to make the world submit to you?"    

"Zheng Jianglong, you withdraw. Are you going to disobey the emperor's decree?" Sima Yun shouted in a deep voice.    

However, Zheng Jianglong still stood in front of the Imperial Decree. "I cannot watch the Imperial Court step into the endless abyss!"    

"You have eaten the guts of a leopard, daring to question the Emperor!" Sima Yun was furious. His clothes fluttered in the wind as a fierce aura burst forth.    

Sima Yun was actually a World Lord expert!    

At the same time, Xu Guangming and Wang Zhen also erupted with their own auras. They were actually both World Lords!    

The nine officials of the imperial court, be it the civil officials or the military officials, all needed to have sufficient strength to secure their seats.    

Sima Yun looked gentle, but the cultivation level was not weak either.    

Huala! Huala!    

Right at this moment, countless people in white clothes appeared around the Discord Pavilion.    

These white clothed figures were densely packed together, and there were over a hundred of them. Every single one of them was a man with a monstrous cultivation level, and their imposing auras were extraordinary.    

Their powerful auras interweaved, causing the heavens and the earth to change color. The sky above the Storm Pavilion was suddenly filled with dark clouds, like the prelude of a storm.    

"I won't retreat! I cannot bear to see you all targeting a meritorious official like this!" Zheng Jianglong widened his eyes, showing no signs of fear.    

"Hmph! Then die first!"    

Sima Yun snorted coldly and raised his hand to attack Zheng Jianglong.    

But all of a sudden, with a honglong sound, Sima Yun's entire body suddenly exploded, turning into a mist of blood.    

Many of the surrounding ministers were splashed with blood, and they were all stunned, not knowing what had happened.    

"There is one thing that Sima Yun said wrong."    

"This world does not have the greatest reason."    

Lu Yu retracted his finger and sat back down on his chair.    

He pressed down on the Great Qin Imperial Jade Seal with his left hand, and an aura of an Emperor surrounded the nine heavens. It was as if ten thousand dragons were roaring and shaking the heavens.    

"I'm the biggest in this world!"
