Peerless Taoist

But they did not expect that it was actually a young man who went up. This made everyone greatly surprised.    

"What's going on? Who is that person? Why is he sitting on Formation Master's seat?"    

"Who is this? This is a big matter for our family. Why did we find such a young man to go up there?"    

The surrounding Zhang family disciples began to discuss amongst themselves, trying to guess Lu Yu's identity.    

The Ninth Elder looked on coldly without saying a word, but the mockery in his eyes didn't diminish in the slightest.    

Right at this moment, a middle-aged man standing behind Ninth Elder suddenly exclaimed, "Lu Yu, why are you here?"    

The Ninth Elder raised his brows and looked at the man behind him. "You know him?"    

"Ninth Elder, this man ascended from the lower realm with me."    

The person who had spoken was none other than the famous Duke Yan Sheng, Zhang Que!    

At that time, Zhang Que, Lu Yu, and the others had ascended from the lower realms and joined the Zhang Clan.    

He had originally been a disciple of the Zhang Clan, and Zhang Hong had ascended from the Lower Worlds. That was why Zhang Que had been conferred the title of Nan Sheng Duke in the Lower Worlds and enjoyed endless glory.    

But in the Heaven Realm, Zhang Que's status was clearly not as glorious as in the Lower Worlds.    

He might have a lofty status in the lower realms, but in the Zhang Clan, just having a bloodline was far from enough, and he needed to have sufficient strength.    

At this time, one could see the difference between the Heaven Realm and the Lower Realms.    

The difference between the resources in the Lower Realms and the Heaven Realm was too great. Many people wanting to grow to the Supreme Being Realm was already extremely difficult.    

Zhang Que had spent a great deal of effort to barely become an Itinerant Immortal, but after being in the Heaven Realm for so long, he had yet to even break through to the Human Immortal Realm.    

He was already old, and his aptitude had long since been set. It was very difficult for him to have any higher achievements.    

Fortunately, Zhang Que was very quick-witted, and when he saw that his direct line of descent was weak, he immediately turned to the Ninth Elder's side.    

Ninth Elder had a vast reputation in the clan, and he also had financial power.    

If the clan's disciples wanted to obtain enough resources and money to cultivate, they needed Ninth Elder's approval. Thus, Zhang Que carefully followed the Ninth Elder, completely losing all of his arrogance in the lower realms.    

Zhang Que had originally been by Ninth Elder's side, but he had never imagined that he would see Lu Yu at a glance.    

Seeing Lu Yu sitting on the throne that only formation masters could sit on, and their Zhang Clan's Family Head being so polite, Zhang Que felt a fire of anger burn in his heart.    

Why should I serve others respectfully here, but you sit there high and mighty?    

"You ascended from the lower realms? Hahaha, very good, very good!" Ninth Elder laughed heartily.    

He knew when Zhang Que had ascended.    

How capable could a person who had just arrived in the Heaven Realm be?    

This sort of young man was probably just bragging, and could fool Zhang Heng, who didn't have much knowledge.    

This time, his position as Family Head was secured.    

Delighted, the Ninth Elder pointed at Zhang Que and said, "In the future, you will be the supervisor of the Pill Room."    

Zhang Que was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Many thanks, Ninth Elder!"    

The Pill Room was a place where the Zhang Clan was extremely rich in profits. Many people of the Zhang Clan coveted this position, but Zhang Que had unexpectedly obtained it.    

"Lu Yu, oh Lu Yu, you didn't think of that, did you? In the Lower Realms, you flaunt your might and overestimate yourself. But now, you have become my stepping stone. "    

Zhang Que sneered as he stared at Lu Yu, his heart filled with pride.
