Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu said with a sneer, "Do you think you can kill all of us with just you alone?"    

Xu Guizong snorted and the killing intent in his eyes became even stronger. "If you refuse a toast, you will have to accept a forfeit. You and the group of people behind you... They are just some chickens and dogs. I can kill all of you in an instant. Lu Yu, you're just a peasant, a native who ascended from the lower realm, a lowly thing. How dare you question the imperial power? You are courting your own death."    

Xu Guizong looked at Lu Yu from head to toe. "The thing I regret the most is not killing you with all my strength. Leaving behind future troubles and causing you to grow up now, you will eventually become a huge threat to the Heaven Realm. If I had known earlier that you would do all these things, I would have turned you into ashes. I wouldn't even let go of your soul, lest you overturn the world now. I would have stirred the world. "    

Lu Yu suddenly laughed and said, "Xu Guizong, even at this point, you still want to use the name of righteousness! Zhao Yuanyan had signed a contract that humiliated the country, and had long since lost the people's sentiment. I went to find him today to uphold justice on behalf of the heavens and comply with the people's hearts. Accept. The will of the heavens."    

"Also, you boasted shamelessly about me turning the world upside down, and why did you urge Shen Linglong to split the land? You created the so-called North Emperor and South Emperor. Shen Linglong had already lost the Human Emperor Sword and the right to be the emperor. You still want to assist her in going against the heavens! In the end, you are the true rebel! "    

Lu Yu directly retorted, not afraid of Xu Guizong's powerful might at all.    

The two of them could already speak on equal grounds. Every word they said was like two sharp swords colliding fiercely in the void.    

"Who do you think you are, to be able to talk so much in front of me? I came from a prestigious family, and I have been reading poetry since I was young, and I am well-versed in the meaning of the scriptures. I understand much more than you can imagine. You don't know anything. Do you think you know everything after being the top scorer? What a joke. You are just a frog at the bottom of a well after all, a peeping tom." Xu Guizong berated him harshly.    

Lu Yu sneered, "Xu Guizong, you don't have to pretend to be a saint here. What your Xu family did can deceive the people, but it can't deceive me."    

"King Qi's Zhao Tong is greedy. He still knows how much he should leave for the Imperial Court. But your Xu Family is greedy for money, and they didn't even leave a single cent for the National Treasury. Of the more than half of the spirit mines that the Imperial Court controls, which one doesn't have your Xu Clan's share? Aren't the salt, iron, coal, and gold industries already monopolized by your Xu family! The treasury is unable to collect money these few years and can only increase taxes year after year. Do you really think you can fool others with these things?"    

" There are also granaries everywhere. I originally thought that the grain was controlled by the Imperial Court. I didn't expect that your Xu family would even dare to interfere with the grain. How many of the local officials are from your Xu family? You know it in your heart. Taking advantage of the chaos of war, the price of food in some places increased by 300 times! Hunger was everywhere, and corpses were piled up like mountains. This caused the Xu family's pockets to swell. Your Xu Family is the biggest bug in the world! Today, I will destroy your Xu family first and also enforce justice on behalf of the heavens! "    

What Lu Yu had seen and heard along the way had a deep relationship with the Xu Family.    

Take Star Lord Ding An for example. Not only did he pay respects to Li Jing, he even gave a large portion of the wealth that he had plundered to the Xu Family.    

It was also because of the Xu Family's care that he was able to remain as steady as Mount Tai in his position as the Star Lord.    

Lu Yu felt a little shocked. The Xu Family's hands had long reached all walks of life. They were even like zombies entrenched in the imperial court, sucking the fresh blood of Dynasty.
