Peerless Taoist

The junior disciple replied respectfully, his face filled with joy.    

In the academy, everyone was proud to receive guidance from Lu Yu. Furthermore, there was a rumor that Lu Yu went to Shennong Valley and killed the Greenlotus God and the Shennong Valley Master, shocking everyone.    

This was a true expert with extraordinary magical power. If he could give a few pointers, it would be of great help to his future cultivation.    

After the junior disciples left happily, Lu Yu opened the official residence report.    

Reading the report was a habit that Lu Yu had developed.    

This was the Taiqian Emperor's first creation. He organized the policies of the imperial court, the major events that had happened in various places, and some strange things that had happened. It was distributed by the official residence newspaper office every day.    

From here, one could know many of the major events that had happened.    

The moment he opened it, the front page was written in large font with the words "His Majesty's Direct Expedition." It was very eye-catching.    

"Shen Linglong's Direct Expedition?" Lu Yu frowned.    

He knew that ever since he perished together with Emperor Taiqian in his previous life, Shen Linglong had taken advantage of the situation and become the empress of Great Yu's Heavenly Dynasty.    

However, this power was extremely unstable. Shen Linglong's talent was limited, and her strength was not great. She could only intimidate everyone with her trusted aides and Great Yu's Immortal Artifacts.    

She was not staying in the Imperial Court, but had actually gone to the front line. It could be seen how intense the war at the front line had become.    

"Di Zhan is dead. He was besieged by five sector lords of the Tang Dynasty and died of exhaustion!"    

"The Divine Brave Marquis was sent to the front line to take Di Zhan's place as the President General to control all military affairs."    

"The Grand Council of the Imperial Court was set up to follow the Emperor. All administrative matters will be handled by the Grand Council."    

Lu Yu remembered that during the last Bureau of Military Personnel hearing, the Minister of War was not Di Zhan, but Zhong Liyan.    

The Bureau of Military Personnel usually did not only have one Minister. Although Di Zhan was also the Minister of War, he was not in the Imperial Capital. Instead, he was stationed outside.    

Back in the Lower Realms' Heavenly Connection Tournament, Lu Yu had seen Di Zhan once. He did not expect Di Zhan to die in battle.    

However, the thing that Lu Yu paid the most attention to was the establishment of the Grand Council.    

This meant that the Cabinet had lost its role in the future. All the core of the Imperial Court was placed on the Grand Council.    

The first batch of Grand Council officials was the Divine Might Marquis Xu Gui!    

Lu Yu continued watching, and the Imperial Court made many adjustments.    

The Minister of Personnel was transferred from the Talisman Science Department to the Scorching Sun Galaxy Provincial Governor!    

The Divine Sword Marquis sent them to suppress the Demonic Beast at the border!    

This was only a move on the surface. Many secret arrangements would not be written in the official newspaper.    

The Mystic Heaven Scripture had said that the great calamity was about to arrive, but the Heaven Realm was already surging with undercurrents and chaos everywhere.    

Bang! Bang! Bang!    

At this moment, a series of rapid knocks on the door of Lu Yu's house suddenly sounded.    

Lu Yu immediately sensed that there were more than a dozen people standing outside the courtyard.    

"You can't go in. This is the place where Lu shi cultivates! Who are you?! Sigh -"    

With a clang, the door of the house was kicked open from the outside.    

The junior disciple who followed Lu Yu earlier was kicked in and fell to the ground in a sorry state.    

"Lu Yu, come out!"    

A dozen or so people in plain clothes barged in from the outside. It was hard to tell what was the difference between them and ordinary cultivators.    

However, these people had a kind of murderous aura that ordinary people couldn't compare with. It was as if they had just walked out from an endless hell of slaughter. Every one of them was filled with killing intent.    

Boom!    

Before these people could even stand up, a powerful force immediately erupted from the room.    

These people did not even manage to stand properly. They were knocked out of the room by the force.
