Peerless Taoist

Consort Qi stood up, her almond-shaped eyes stared at the people around her, and she lifted her leg to walk out.    

"Creak!"    

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open and a child walked in from outside.    

The child faced the experts in the room and showed no fear. He bowed to Princess Qi and said, "Fifth Young Miss, Family Head sensed that King Qi was in trouble and has already made his move. He told you not to worry."    

The surrounding people had already guessed the origin of this child after hearing his words.    

Only the Zhou Clan would call Princess Qi Fifth Miss.    

Princess Qi was ranked fifth in the Zhou family. Even though she had married into the Imperial Residence, the Zhou family still addressed her as the Fifth Miss.    

Upon hearing this news, Princess Qi's expression eased slightly. She sat back on the Grand Preceptor's chair. "What else did Ancestor say?"    

Tong Zi said, "Ancestor said that Lu Yu is a genius. If he can recruit him into the Zhou family, he doesn't mind putting him in an important position. If Lu Yu doesn't comply, then cripple him and turn him into a puppet of the Zhou family."    

A trace of resentment flashed across Consort Qi's eyes as she screamed, "Lu Yu is disrespectful to the prince, why should we still put him in an important position?"    

"Lu Yu is useful to the family."    

The boy said, "My Zhou family has been laying traps for many years. There is essentially no difference between Fu Qi and Fu Lu Yu. Lu Yu is a new talent. If we take him into our family and use him as a chess piece, there will be unexpected results."    

The boy's tone was clearly young and tender, but he had spoken words of age. It was obvious that he had specially sent a message.    

"He humiliated His Highness! We can't let him live!" Princess Qi shouted in a stern voice.    

"Ancestor has already made his move. Princess, just wait for the result." The boy skipped away, completely ignoring the enraged Princess Qi.    

Everyone in the vicinity fell into silence.    

Even though the boy represented the Zhou family and spoke rudely, no one dared to say anything.    

Although Princess Qi was married into the Imperial Residence, she was still a member of the Zhou family. Furthermore, the Zhou family's influence had already spread to every corner of Wei Yang.    

Even in the Imperial Residence, there were many people who had received favors from the Zhou family and had long become their guest.    

Princess Qi sat down angrily. Her face was flushed red and she clenched her fists. Although her eyes were filled with hatred, she was still powerless.    

...    

Within the ancient ruins.    

The surface of the lake was already in a mess. Broken stones were scattered all over the place. Some of the broken sculptures had fallen into the water and were lying diagonally in the lake. There were already numerous cracks on the surface of the water.    

On the ground in the distance, there were deep holes everywhere. There was smoke coming out from the holes and spreading in all directions.    

"They... They were all destroyed!"    

Lu Changqing and the others all stopped. They felt that the scene in front of them was extremely terrifying. It was beyond their understanding.    

Just now, the twelve experts stood in the sky with their Dharma Idols. The pressure they emitted was like a towering mountain, causing people to feel fear.    

Those were the twelve consecrates of the Qi King's Estate. Each of them was a top expert in this world!    

Especially the God of Wei Water. Just by forming a seal with his hand, he drew out a divine domain that completely separated the space around Lu Yu, preventing them from getting close to him.    

However, before Lu Changqing and the others could break through the divine domain, the twelve Dharma Idols were torn apart by Lu Yu.
