Peerless Taoist

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have colluded with the Marquis of Changling!"    

Xiahou Yan stared at the scene before him enviously.    

The status of a Rank One Madam was rather high. Usually, she was personally conferred by the Emperor and reported to the Imperial Court. She was blessed with a special destiny and even had a generous salary.    

The better Madam Xiahou lived, the more regret they felt in their hearts.    

If they had known earlier that things would turn out like this, they would have tried to please the main branch no matter what.    

However, it was already too late.    

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"    

Madame Xiahou bowed with tears of excitement in her eyes.    

Lu Yu's words had completely established Madame Xiahou's position. From now on, not only in the family, but even in the Imperial Capital, no one would dare to bully her.    

...    

After settling Xiahou Li's matters, Lu Yu left the Imperial Capital.    

Gu Chen's star hovered above the starry river. Among the myriad of shining stars, Gu Chen's star was rather inconspicuous.    

In the entire star, the strongest cultivator was only at the Human Immortal realm.    

Lu Yu's arrival on Gu Chen Star didn't startle anyone.    

Following his memory, he arrived at the hidden ruins of the city in the dense forest.    

In the past, Lu Yu had just arrived in the Heaven Realm and was hunted down by assassins here.    

Coincidentally, Lu Yu found a ruined city. It was also here that Lu Yu met the prince who was suppressed by Zhao Tianyin in the past.    

The King of the Guards, Zhao Ling!    

At that time, Lu Yu's strength was still very weak, and he was unable to fight with Daolord, Zhao Ling.    

Helpless, he used a borrowed knife to kill someone, using Zhao Ling's hand to get rid of the assassin who was chasing after him, and used it to escape.    

Today, Lu Yu had come here to settle this karma.    

"Why is there someone here?"    

Lu Yu looked at the ruins of the city in the distance and suddenly frowned.    

In Lu Yu's impression, this place was a desolate land with few people.    

But now, outside the forest, there was a group of cultivators guarding it.    

These cultivators were on full alert, patrolling the outside and back. The security was quite tight.    

"Stop right there, the White Brow Sect has already occupied this place, idlers take a detour!"    

When some cultivators saw Lu Yu arrive, they immediately went forward to stop him.    

Lu Yu glanced at the cultivators in front of him and found that they were all cultivators below the Human Immortal Realm.    

Such cultivators could only move around on a certain star. They might never have the chance to leave the Ancient Dust Planet in their lifetime.    

Suddenly, Lu Yu's eyes fell upon the ruins of the city in the distance.    

Wisps of grayish-black airflow shot into the sky from the ruins of the broken city. The evil Qi soared to the sky.    

"You still want to come out?"    

Lu Yu coldly harrumphed, then he turned into a black shadow, and shot out like an arrow that had just left the bow.    

"Stop!"    

"Not good, he has rushed in! Quickly inform the Sect Leader!"    

When the cultivators standing outside saw Lu Yu suddenly rush in, they immediately turned pale with fright.    

Lu Yu didn't pay any attention to these low level cultivators.    

He passed through the ruins of the city and arrived at the depths of the ruins.    

It was still the collapsed cave entrance. Lu Yu strode forward with vigorous steps and strode into the cave.    

As soon as he entered the cave, a cold aura hit his face.    

The surroundings were filled with a thick murderous aura, making the entire cave seem like an asura purgatory that sent chills down one's spine.    

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"    

A violent knocking sound came from the depths.    

It was like an iron mine, where many miners worked non-stop throughout the night.
