Peerless Taoist

"I want to escape. If I continue to stay in the city, I will die."    

"We want to go out. You have no right to lock us in the city!"    

A few long cries suddenly rang out from Spirit State City. Clearly, they had been frightened by the scene outside.    

No one wanted to fall into the hands of the evil cultivators.    

Those scenes outside were still vivid in their minds. The city was already in chaos.    

Countless people rushed out, gathered together, and rushed towards the Spirit Province government office.    

These few days, the Spirit Province City had been besieged. Many people felt immense pressure in their hearts. Now that such a situation had suddenly occurred, the pressure that many people had been accumulating finally erupted.    

Chaos began to develop.    

More and more people gathered, and in the end, there were even hundreds of thousands of people gathered in front of the Spirit Province government office, shouting loudly.    

The Spirit Province government urgently dispatched soldiers to suppress them, but facing these hundreds of thousands of people, each soldier's forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat.    

The hundreds of thousands of people in front of them were not ordinary people, but cultivators!    

They grasped spiritual techniques and had their own Cultivation Methods. There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them, and it was unknown how many experts were hidden within.    

If it was during normal times, it would be fine. However, there was an army suppressing them directly. But now, the main force of the defending troops had all gone to the side of the city wall. With just them, they were simply unable to withstand the impact of such a large scale of cultivators.    

"Sir, something happened outside!"    

A few bookkeepers scrambled in and reported what happened outside to Lu Yu.    

Lu Yu waved his hand. "I know."    

Outside, it was already bustling with activity. There were shouts everywhere.    

The old man standing at the front yelled at the top of his lungs, "The Prefecture Overseer does not have the right to send us to our deaths with him. Open the city gates, we want to go out!"    

"That's right, the evil cultivators are only dealing with the government, it has nothing to do with us loose cultivators."    

"Let us out, I don't intend to accompany you imperial court hawks to your deaths."    

This old man's voice was filled with bewitching power. It was as though he was responding to a hundred calls.    

There were already quite a number of people whose minds were starting to waver as they gathered together with the old man and shouted.    

Everyone's hearts were filled with resentment.    

In the roars of the surrounding people, this fear was magnified to the extreme, to the point that they subconsciously felt that if they couldn't escape, the final result would be the same as Lin Xian outside, dying miserably in the end.    

The old man sternly said, "Everyone, since those dog officials won't let us out, we'll rush out ourselves..."    

Pah!    

Before he could finish speaking, a white light flew over from afar and fiercely slapped his body.    

Caught off guard, the old man was ruthlessly struck by the white light. His head hit the ground, and for a moment, fresh blood flowed out.    

"You want to leave?"    

A cold voice sounded beside the old man's ear.    

He saw a pair of boots.    

Looking up, Lu Yu was wearing an official uniform, looking at the old man with a cold gaze.    

These days, Lu Yu had defeated the evil cultivators' schemes one after another. He had already made a name for himself in the Spirit Province. Many people were full of respect for this governor.    

For a moment, the originally chaotic crowd suddenly quieted down, not saying a single word.    

"Who is it? Just now, he said he wanted to rush out!" Lu Yu shouted once again.    

Everyone was silent like cicadas in winter, not saying a word.    

"Father! What's wrong with you?" A middle-aged man suddenly squeezed into the crowd and hugged the old man.    

Blood was flowing out from the old man's forehead. Fresh blood flowed down from his forehead, causing his entire face to look extremely miserable and hideous.
