Peerless Taoist

"They used the flag of revenge for the Tang army to launch a sneak attack when I was unprepared. All of my personal guards were killed in battle. I only managed to escape after using a secret technique."    

"Later on, I heard that these people were cultivators from the Jialin Xingjian's Devil Sect. Their Sword Devil Sect's Master was called Blood Sword Ancestor. He had been recruited by the Tang Dynasty earlier. He became the master of the Eastern Continent. Now, this Blood Sword Ancestor had gathered the cultivators of ten sects. He has already charged over." Ouyang Kuo slammed his head onto the ground, his face full of shame.    

Great Yu's Heavenly Dynasty had always been an iron fist when it came to the sects in the Jianghu.    

When these small sects, who lived in a remote corner, saw the generals of the imperial court, they were always afraid and did not dare to provoke them.    

But now, they dared to launch an attack!    

This was simply the shame of everyone present!    

"Do they want to die!? A group of ants simply ate the guts of a bear and a leopard, and they're courting death." A general roared angrily in a muffled voice.    

"That so-called Blood Sword Ancestor, ask him to come over. He only brought a few motley crew, yet he dares to ambush a general of the imperial court. This old man will personally bring people over and wipe out his nest."    

"Lord Lu, give the order. We must not let this group of people stay."    

The generals present were all stirred up, and they all requested to fight.    

This was already a matter of face, and no one would choose to retreat at this moment.    

Lu Yu's finger tapped on the back of the chair, and he said calmly, "Ouyang Kuo will go and treat his injuries first. As for the treasure vault in the Star Lord Manor, how is the cleaning going?"    

One of the generals replied, "Replying to Milord, that Star Lord Yuan He of the Jia Lin Star Manor is simply a disaster that will bring disaster to our side. Within his treasure vault, a mountain of wealth was found. We asked the officials in the Starlord's estate. After Yuan He surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, then, he made a name for himself and recklessly collected all kinds of taxes to strengthen his own pockets. "    

"I sent people to investigate the treasury, but there were too many treasures inside, and only about 50% of them were cleared."    

This was a bit shocking.    

With the current speed of Great Yu's army, they had only cleared half of the treasures up until now.    

In terms of all the wealth, it was almost an astronomical figure.    

To bring disaster to one side, this was the so-called greed.    

Many cultivators could not afford the heavy taxes, so they were forced to leave. They either ran to the wilderness and became rogue cultivators, or joined some sects in the martial arts world.    

The wealth that should have fallen into the royal court's treasury was eventually intercepted by Yuan He and ended up in his own pocket.    

"Don't count the rest. Just stay here."    

"Pass on my order. Gather the troops immediately and we'll leave the Star Lord's Manor."    

Lu Yu ordered decisively.    

The moment he said that, everyone in the main hall was stunned.    

Those generals opened their eyes wide and stared with their mouths wide open.    

The Star Lord's Mansion, which they had fought so hard to conquer, actually wanted to leave now?    

Ouyang Kuo shuddered violently as he yelled, "Lord Lu, I'm willing to fight those cultivators of the martial arts world with my life. Give me some more men, and I'll go and kill them all."    

Following this, a few generals stepped forward and asked for battle.    

Lu Yu shook his head. "I don't even care about the Tang Army. Do you think I will be afraid of those people of the pugilistic world?"    

At this moment, everyone in the main hall stopped talking.    

That's right.    

Back when Tian Chong Pass was besieged, Lu Yu had dared to rush out with a hundred thousand men.    

Now that he was facing these few martial arts sects, how could Lu Yu be afraid of them?
