Peerless Taoist

A certain youth had a conflict with the son of a local sect and formed a grudge. In a fit of rage, the young man had joined the Hidden Dragon Army.    

After a long time, the young man had returned from the Hidden Dragon Army to visit his hometown. When he had returned to his hometown, the leader of the sect had brought his son with him and paid him a visit with a generous gift.    

The leader of the sect was even willing to marry a female disciple of the family of generals to this young man, just to make him his wife.    

This youth was only an ordinary soldier of the Hidden Dragon Army.    

The fame of the Hidden Dragon Army spread across the entire Heaven Realm.    

This reputation had been built on fresh blood.    

At the same time, Lu Yu summoned the merchants of the Tang Dynasty at Tiger Cage Pass.    

"If you guys do business honestly, I won't bother. As long as you pay taxes to the government and run your business with integrity, I promise you that you won't be treated differently."    

Lu Yu glanced at all the merchants of the Tang Dynasty. "But if I find out who dares to cause trouble behind my back, don't blame me for being ruthless."    

Many of the Tang Dynasty merchants kept quiet out of fear. They promised Lu Yu that they would never do anything illegal.    

In fact, ever since the Qianlong Army had stepped into the Imperial Capital Domain, most of the assets of the Tang Dynasty in the 41th star of the Imperial Capital Domain had been withdrawn.    

The people who had stayed behind only wanted to get rich through the risks and greed.    

Lu Yu did not target these merchants. Although it was true that they were Tang, they played a major role in the economy of the Imperial Capital.    

Lu Yu did not stay in Tiger Cage Pass for too long. He immediately led his army out of Tiger Cage Pass and headed toward the capital.    

The mighty army traveled through the galaxy, creating a spectacular sight.    

Many of the surrounding Star Lords who passed by secretly sent letters, willing to pledge their loyalty to Lu Yu.    

Lu Yu kept all of these letters and did not reply.    

These Star Lords seemed to be fence-sitters who would act according to the circumstances, but this was the path of an official, so it could not be blamed on them.    

To be able to become the Star Lord, it was impossible to not have a bit of wisdom. Lu Yu knew that there were capable people among them, but if he wanted to filter them out, it would be a matter of the future.    

Now, it was time for him, Lu Yu, and Zhao Yuanyan to settle this matter.    

Outside the Imperial Capital.    

When the Qianlong Army advanced to the Iron Wall of the Imperial Capital, they were stopped by the Imperial Guards and the four major battalions.    

As far as the eye could see, the horses of the Rising Dragon Army were neighing, and the Demonic Beast was glaring angrily at them. Battleships stood tall in a forest. Although their military appearance was uneven, they were filled with killing intent.    

This killing intent stunned the Imperial Army. All the Imperial Army soldiers were just standing in formation quietly, and no one dared to provoke them.    

"Congratulations to Lord Lu for returning victorious. His Majesty has decreed that he will come and have a chat with Lord Lu."    

A red-clothed eunuch flew out from the Imperial Army and respectfully said.    

The eunuch was the handprint of the Imperial Censor and was an armed eunuch in the palace. He held military power and was extremely powerful.    

Song Qinhu and company said, "Lu Yu, they probably set up a banquet for the Hong Gate. I think it's not good for you to go alone."    

Lu Yu shook his head. "If I don't go now, outsiders will think that I am afraid of Zhao Yuanyan. Even if it's a banquet for the Hong Gate, I can still go."    

"We will not go near, but we can come to your aid at any time outside. We must not let you take the risk alone!" Fu Zhixue insisted.    

Finally, the two armies surrounded a star called Lin'an Star.    

Outside the Lin'an Star House, there was a beautiful lake, a pavilion, and a music stage.    

Lu Yu and the eunuch in red arrived at a pavilion. It was filled with delicacies, and a few officials in red robes were waiting for him.    

The lake water was leisurely flowing, and the waves were sparkling.    

The plaque on the pavilion had three words carved on it -    

Storm Pavilion.
