Peerless Taoist

This was a top-secret place of Lu Family, just like the land of spiritual fire of the Xiao Family. It was a world specially created by a mighty figure.    

In the depths of the Barbarian Deserted World, countless members of the Lu Family were gathered in an ancient hall.    

Those who could enter this place were the core members of the Lu Family, including the patriarchs and elders of the various branches.    

The tall stone statue stood tall in the hall, like a divine hall in the mortal world. It was grand and magnificent.    

Lu Changsong sat at the head seat, beside him were Lu Changqing, Lu Jiuding, and the other higher ups of the Lu Family.    

Everyone had a serious expression on their faces.    

"Should we protect Lu Yu or the Imperial Court?" Lu Jiuding was the first to speak, breaking the silence.    

He was the Family Head of the Lu Family, and in name, controlled the direction of the entire Lu Family.    

An elder of the Lu Family said in a deep voice, "It's better to protect the Imperial Court. Great Yu has been through hundreds of years, and all the storms and waves have passed. The royal family of Zhao still stands strong and prosper for a long time. Lu Yu, on the other hand, is just a rising star, and his foundation is unstable. He can't be compared with the imperial court of Great Yu at all. "    

" I think we should protect Lu Yu. After all, he is a disciple of Lu Family, and we are his clan. We should help him at this time. " Another elder said.    

An elder with a fiery temper said in a cold voice, "He is merely a disciple of a branch family. Previously, Fifth Lord even invited him to my Lu Family. However, he rejected it without hesitation. Now that he's leading the troops hastily, it's only a matter of time before he falls into the Tang Army's trap. It won't be long."    

The crowd discussed animatedly.    

However, it was obvious that many people didn't think highly of Lu Yu.    

Lu Changsong and Lu Changqing listened quietly without saying anything.    

As the two remaining elders of the "elder" generation, they had a pivotal position in the Lu Family.    

"Two clan elders, what do the two of you think?" Lu Jiuding looked at the two of them.    

Lu Changqing crossed his arms in front of his chest and said in a deep voice, "Lu Yu saved my life in the ancient ruins. I must support him."    

The mouths of the other Lu Family clansmen twitched.    

When they were talking, they were talking about the righteousness of their family. They had never talked about their personal relationships.    

Only the Fifth Lord of the Lu Family dared to speak in such a direct and direct manner. There was nothing to be afraid of.    

"Lord Fifth, this is about the future of my Lu Family. You better not judge it based on personal grudges." Lu Jiuding reminded him with good intentions.    

Lu Changqing coldly harrumphed and swept his eyes across the people who opposed Lu Yu. "Let me ask you one thing. Do you really think that Zhao Yuanyan is a match for Lu Yu?"    

Those people from the Lu Family fell silent.    

When Great Yu's imperial court reached Zhao Yuanyan's generation, it was already the fourteenth emperor.    

However, before Zhao Yuanyan, even Shen Linglong had never ceded land to pay compensation and sold her country for glory.    

It could be said that Zhao Yuanyan had gone against the will of the world and caused the people's sentiment to be completely lost.    

On the contrary, Lu Yu's popularity among the people was extremely high. Some people already treated him like a god of war.    

"After all, Zhao Yuanyan is the Emperor. If he wants to deal with Lu Yu, it would be perfectly justifiable." A clansman said in an unconvinced manner.    

Lu Changqing sneered and said, "Lu Yu still has the Human Emperor Sword! Why didn't the Confucian Sect impeach him after Lu Yu killed the eunuch? It was because the other party had come with the approval of the divine artifact, and it was perfectly justifiable. It was precisely because of this that the Emperor was anxious. He had to kill Lu Yu. Talent! It's perfectly justifiable."    

"This is a battle for the throne."    

A hint of fear flashed across some of the elders' faces. "In my opinion, why don't we choose to remain neutral?"
