Peerless Taoist

Zhao Gao glanced at Li Si and said, "Lord Li, you might as well pacify the officials and let the court settle down."    

After saying that, Zhao Gao suddenly sighed and said, "What His Majesty is doing is for the sake of all the people in the world. We... are unable to interfere. "    

"For the sake of all the people in the world..."    

Li Si muttered to himself. For a moment, he was stunned on the spot.    

...    

Outside the Imperial Capital.    

A pair of patrolling Imperial Guards blocked Zhen Yuqin's path.    

"My apologies, Princess. I have received a death order that no one is allowed to take even half a step into the Imperial Capital. Please don't make things difficult for me!"    

One of the Imperial Army generals had a cold expression on his face. Even though he had predicted that the Princess would take half a step back, he still did not give in.    

Zhen Yuqin gritted her teeth and said, "I am only going in. Can't I just take a look from afar?"    

"Apologies!"    

The Imperial Army general replied mechanically, "There are two other marquises guarding over there. You are a golden branch and jade leaf. If you are injured, we cannot bear the responsibility."    

Upon hearing these words, Zhen Yuqin completely gave up.    

He was certain that what happened in the Heaven Extermination Palace had something to do with Lu Yu.    

The person he wanted to see was right there, but Zhen Yuqin was stopped outside. It was only wishful thinking to meet him.    

"It's best that you are safe!"    

Zhen Yuqin's fair hand held the string of Peace Talismans in her hand and muttered in her heart.    

...    

Wei Family.    

"Grandfather, could it be that we just turned a blind eye to it!?" Wei Mengting said anxiously.    

Her Wei Family had countless of spies. After asking around, she naturally knew that Lu Yu had trapped her in the Heaven Extermination Palace.    

Sky Destroying! Heaven Extermination!    

Just from the name alone, one could tell that there was something unusual about this hall.    

Originally, Wei Mengting did not know what this meant. However, at this moment, a brilliant radiance and a bloody glow soared into the sky. Clearly, a great battle was taking place. How could this not make Wei Mengting anxious?    

The strongest expert of her Wei Clan was the Wei Clan's Ancestor.    

The Wei Family's Ancestor gazed into the distance. The holy light that erupted from the starry sky didn't say a word for a long time.    

"This old man originally thought that he was already satisfied just because he was able to achieve this position, but he actually dared to do so!" Ancestor of the Wei Clan took a deep breath, and a hint of disbelief flashed across his eyes.    

Wei Mengting said anxiously, "Grandfather, what exactly is going on!? Can you help me?!"    

"Hur hur! Ting Er, you think too highly of me."    

The Wei family's Ancestor let out a long sigh. "Let's just wait and see. If we interfere too much, Lu Yu will only be a burden to him. "    

......    

The Imperial Capital was quite restless.    

After the bloody glow exploded in the distance, many people started discussing and talking.    

The news of Lu Yu being in the Heaven Extermination Palace had spread like wildfire, and many people had heard about it.    

"Do I, the Lu Family, want to help Lu Yu?"    

"Since that person has set up the Imperial Army, it's obvious that he doesn't want anyone to get close to him."    

"Are we just going to watch helplessly?"    

"Sigh - that's the only way."    

After a short conversation, the Lu Family announced that it would lock down the sect and not allow outsiders to enter.    

At the same time, the other families also began to move. They restrained their clansmen, shut themselves in, and refused guests. They waited and watched the changes.    

Different from the other families, some families that had their interests touched by Lu Yu stood out to speak.    

"Haha, some people went against their will, and indeed, they were punished by the heavens!"    

"Facts have proven that since the establishment of the Great Tang Dynasty, the country has enjoyed peace and prosperity, and the fate of the country thrives. And at the crucial moment of the New Year, a bloody glow has actually appeared in the sky. Shouldn't we reflect and reflect on our actions? "    

"I wonder what sort of mentality those following him have, and whether they have the ability to think on their own!"
