Peerless Taoist

This was Lu Yu's own Immortal Domain, a land of Immortals. In this world, Lu Yu was an Immortal that ruled over all things.    

Gao Xianzhi wanted to perish together with Lu Yu, but a moment later, he suddenly realized that Lu Yu's figure had become blurry.    

In the blink of an eye, Lu Yu had disappeared from Gao Xianzhi's sight.    

"Lu Yu, come out!" Gao Xianzhi roared.    

But there was nothing but darkness around him.    

It was as if he had been banished to a different world, a vast expanse of darkness around him that made him unable to see his own fingers.    

"Hahaha, Lu Yu, you want to use this kind of illusion technique to defeat me? You have underestimated me!" Gao Xianzhi heartily laughed as he punched through the air.    

His vast magical energy condensed into a fist that punched into the endless darkness.    

The fist of energy drew a long streak of light in the air, and it took a long time for it to disappear from sight.    

It was as if this dark world had no end at all.    

"It's not an illusion? It's a barrier!" Gao Xianzhi leapt up once more and tore through the air.    

A powerful energy instantly tore through the air. It formed a massive, dark mouth.    

However, that spatial crack was sealed up in the blink of an eye, returning to its original state.    

Die! Gao Xianzhi furiously used his techniques to strike at the air, but there was still no response.    

"Lu Yu, come out!" Gao Xianzhi roared.    

His eyes flashed with azure light, and he was like a human-shaped azure dragon as he swept his gaze in all directions.    

But all of a sudden, the stars in front of Gao Xianzhi's eyes changed, and everything he saw underwent a heaven-shaking, earth-toppling transformation.    

"Lu Yu, you've finally come out!" Gao Xianzhi heartily laughed.    

But even though he was wildly laughing, Gao Xianzhi still did not give up his vigilance.    

His vast and powerful magical energy protected every part of his body, preventing Lu Yu from launching a sneak attack.    

But what he saw was a thick black fog.    

Figures emerged from the fog one after another.    

They were soldiers who had died a long time ago. Some of them had lost arms, some had one eye, and every one of them was still in a miserable state before death.    

They were the soldiers who had followed Gao Xianzhi in battle in the past.    

At this moment, these soldiers were looking at Gao Xianzhi with resentment.    

"General, why did you abandon us?"    

"We were at your beck and call, trapped in the formation. Why did you abandon us on the battlefield!?"    

More and more people appeared.    

They were wearing tattered battle robes as they walked toward Gao Xianzhi.    

Many years ago, before the Tang Dynasty had been restored, Gao Xianzhi had been the general stationed in Great Yu's territory.    

Why had he eliminated the local forces of Great Yu and mobilized the local army to break into a dangerous land?    

That forbidden land was filled with countless ferocious Demonic Beast, and it was extremely dangerous, just like a forbidden land for humans.    

All Great Yu's soldiers who had broken into the forbidden land had died.    

Gao Xianzhi had long since prepared a path of retreat and had successfully escaped.    

Later on, he recruited more soldiers, recruiting the descendants of the clans who were preparing to revive Li Tang into the army and controlling the lifelines of the area.    

All of this had been carried out without a sound.    

But people were doing it, and the heavens were watching.    

Even though Gao Xianzhi could hide it from outsiders, he could not hide it from his heart.    

A melodious war song rang out, miserable and sorrowful.    

Ghosts gathered in groups, filling the mountains and plains with red-eyed ghosts.    

Gao Xianzhi's face was pale, and he froze in place.
