Peerless Taoist

Combined with the power of the Imperial Jade Seal, Lu Yu's words sounded like the words of the Heavenly Dao. His voice was vast and boundless, like the furious cry of a golden dragon, shocking everyone in the surroundings.    

Just now, Lu Yu had killed Sima Yun with just a finger, leaving not even a corpse behind.    

A bloody mist filled the surroundings. The entire pavilion was filled with a thick stench of blood, making people nauseous.    

"He... he died just like that?"    

These words echoed in the minds of many ministers.    

Sima Yun was also a scholar, and was ranked second in the Imperial Examination. He was considered a genius.    

The reason he dared to attack Zheng Jianglong was because his own strength was formidable, and he even had to suppress Zheng Jianglong. Thus, he had nothing to fear.    

However, in the blink of an eye, Sima Yun died.    

His death was unknown, and no one could clearly see how Lu Yu had attacked him.    

"Lu Yu, you really have a good technique. You are actually able to use the natural law. If I'm not mistaken, you are using the law of punishment to summon the heavenly thunder and get rid of Sima Yun, right?"    

Wang Zhen's eyes turned cold, and a hint of blood flashed across his eyes.    

He was an armed eunuch, and he controlled the guards of the Imperial Army. His strength was unfathomable.    

Lu Yu had attacked without anyone noticing. Many people couldn't see Lu Yu's movements clearly, but Wang Zhen had seen through how Lu Yu had attacked.    

"What a good Lu Yu! How dare you claim to be the greatest in the world? Who do you think you are? How dare a lowly bastard who ascended from the lower realm attack us?!"    

Xu Guangming was furious. He opened his mouth and shouted angrily.    

In the Eight Great Clans of the Imperial Capital, the Xu Clan attached the most importance to bloodlines.    

In their opinion, those who ascended from the lower realm, no matter what kind of achievements they achieved in the end, were all people with lowly bloodlines.    

People like them could only be slaves or something like that. There was a huge difference between them and those who were born with noble bloodlines. They could not be mixed up with one another.    

Lu Yu, a mere person who ascended from the lower realm, actually dared to make a move against the nine officials of the imperial court. This was obviously something that the heavens could not tolerate.    

"Lower realm? Upper realm? You don't understand anything. " Lu Yu shook his head.    

The lower realm that Lu Yu was in back then was clearly the ruins of the Heavenly Court!    

And now, the Heaven Realm that the human race lived in was the mortal realm from back then.    

It was laughable that Xu Guangming did not understand anything and just lied, talking about his bloodline background.    

Lu Yu looked at the ministers around him. "You also want to go against me?"    

Yang Shen and the others were shocked by the scene in front of them.    

They were only sent by the Emperor to make things difficult for Lu Yu, but they didn't receive any orders to get rid of him. This was something they knew very well.    

"This is your business. We are all civil officials. Even if you are guilty, it's not us who will do it!"    

Yang Shen and the others left decisively.    

They could see the situation clearly, so they were naturally unwilling to get involved.    

Before they left, Yang Shen even forcefully dragged Zheng Jianglong along and left, not intending to let this colleague get involved.    

Zheng Jianglong insisted, "There are traitors in the Imperial Court who framed good and loyal people. This old man cannot ignore them!"    

Yang Shen shook his head. "Lord Zheng, you have also seen Lu Yu's methods clearly. If you stay here, you will only drag Lu Yu down. We should not get involved."    

Zheng Jianglong was silent and then nodded.    

It could be said that if Lu Yu lost today, then Zheng Jianglong's actions would definitely cause trouble for him.    

It was like someone had placed their bets on the Emperor, and someone had placed their bets on Lu Yu.
