Peerless Taoist

Revealing the morning sun, the colorful phoenix pulled the carriage. On both sides, there were 80 armored soldiers escorting the carriage. On top of the carriage hung a flag with a white tiger totem embroidered on it, fluttering in the wind.    

Bai Suqing sat on the carriage, but her face was still gloomy, as if she had something on her mind.    

"Why do I feel an inexplicable sadness?" Bai Suqing quietly looked into the distance, and a strand of crystal clear tears flowed down her eyes.    

She had seen the figure of a man countless times in her dreams, but it was so blurry that she did not even know his name.    

After entering a meditative state this time, Bai Suqing suddenly woke up.    

She always felt that she had lost something important.    

But no matter how she thought about it, she could not remember anything.    

...    

Great Yu's Heavenly Dynasty, the Imperial Capital.    

Lu Yu's death had caused quite a stir in Imperial Capital.    

Back then, Lu Yu had won three consecutive victories in the Imperial Examination, defeating countless geniuses and obtaining the title of champion.    

Even now, it was still something that people talked about enthusiastically in the Imperial Capital.    

However, such a genius had actually died in the remains of Chang'an, which made people sigh continuously.    

"The Ministry of Rites has confirmed that we can no longer find Lu Yu's whereabouts. There's almost no chance of him surviving."    

"I heard that Lu Yu's death was caused by King Qi."    

"Tsk tsk, don't speak nonsense about this matter. King Qi is a King of the Imperial Family."    

Rumours began to spread all over the streets.    

"We want the Imperial Court to investigate this matter!"    

"The death of Lu shi is definitely not a coincidence. Please give us an explanation!"    

Amongst the various factions, the students from Jade Cauldron College had the most intense reactions.    

Lu Yu was the chief disciple of Jade Cauldron Academy. Back when he started his lecture, even the great Confucians went to attend it. His prestige was extremely high.    

Many disciples of the same batch saw that Lu Yu did not address him as senior brother, but as "Lu shi," meaning Master.    

And now, Lu Yu died in the ruins without knowing why. This was something that no one could accept.    

Very quickly, a piece of news came out from the mouths of many lucky survivors who had escaped from the ruins of Chang'an.    

It was only now that everyone knew that King Qi was so shameless in the ruins that he had tried to kill others several times!    

Everyone knew that King Qi had truly stirred up a hornet's nest this time.    

Not only did he want to murder Lu Yu, but he also wanted to target the Lu Family, the Wei Clan, and the people of the various Sacred Lands. He wanted to kill all of them in the ruins.    

A storm was brewing.    

Some people saw the Zhang Family's Family Head and Lu Family Jin Yang heading towards the Wei Family together. The Wei Family's Family Head went to welcome them at the entrance, and the three parties entered the Wei Family to discuss in secret.    

After a full day, at night, the Zhang family's Family Head, Zhang Heng, and the Jin Yang Marquis Lu Changqing walked out of the Wei family's residence, and the two of them boarded the same carriage.    

Zhang Heng said, "I originally thought that persuading the Wei family would be quite difficult, but I didn't expect the Wei family's attitude to be so firm."    

Lu Changqing sighed and said, "That little girl of the Wei Family was provoked. I heard that she had a serious illness. She was extremely haggard. If not for the fact that there was a famous doctor in the Imperial Capital, she would probably have died. The Wei family only had one precious granddaughter, Ancestor. She had become like this. How could the Wei family not be angry?"    

After saying that, Lu Changqing looked at Zhang Heng and said, "Actually, your Zhang Clan doesn't need to get involved in this matter."    

Zhang Heng said loudly," Although I didn't go to the Chang'an Historical Remnant, all the elders of my Zhang Clan who went to the Historical Remnant died. It was enough to show how dangerous it was inside. Lu Yu has helped my Zhang family, and he has also helped me a lot! Zhao Tong actually dares to go against my benefactor, that is my Zhang family going against us!"
