Peerless Taoist

"The official selection should be over after seven days. It's time for me to go out and see the new blood of the Great Qin."    

Lu Yu crawled out of the ground and jumped straight into the hot spring.    

The warm spring water washed away the dust on his body. It also contained rich spiritual energy. If he bathed here often, he could extend his life and ease his mind.    

After washing off the dirt on his body, Lu Yu felt refreshed. His entire body was emitting a powerful energy. He clenched his fist, and a powerful force seemed to appear in his palm.    

This was the result of his rising strength. This time, not only did his cultivation increase the strength of a thousand True Dragons, but he had also broken through the bottleneck of a hundred thousand True Dragons. Lu Yu felt as if the blood and Qi in his body had broken through a mountain pass. It was like a torrential river flowing into the sea in an aggressive and endless stream.    

After silently feeling the energy coursing through his body, Lu Yu changed into his dragon robe and prepared to leave.    

As soon as he came out of the palace, a spiritual talisman flew over. Its surface emitted a red light. It was obviously a spiritual talisman with a high level of urgency.    

"Song Qingfeng killed the entire Song Family and then committed suicide. His body has been sent to Xianyang."    

There was only one sentence on the spiritual talisman.    

However, when Lu Yu saw this sentence, his pupils suddenly contracted and his heart sank.    

"Where is Zhang Yi? Tell him to come and see me," Lu Yu said in a deep voice.    

An hour later, in the coroner's hall of the Xianyang Branch of the Nets Above Snares Below, Lu Yu saw Song Qingfeng's corpse.    

As the dim candlelight flickered, Song Qingfeng's corpse revealed a strange posture. His five fingers were curled into the shape of a chicken claw, and his legs were also bent outwards, like a twisted evil spirit.    

A weird smile also appeared on his face as if he was a ghost that had crawled out from a coffin.    

The most horrible thing was that the dead body was too dry. It was like a layer of dry skin sticking to the bones. The dead body didn't seem to weigh much. It had lost a lot of blood.    

Beside the table, other than Lu Yu, there were Li Si, Pei Tianguang, Zhang Yi, and Yan Sui. Their expressions were all quite serious as they looked at the corpse on the table.    

"When did Song Qingfeng die?" Lu Yu's voice was a little gloomy.    

Zhang Yi said, "The people of the Song Family were sent away by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the imperial edict of His Majesty was even faster. It was handed over to Song Qingfeng. According to the memories of the local officials, Song Qingfeng was expressionless. After he took the edict, he left for the Barbarian Land."    

The Skynet covered the entire Sky Realm. No matter what happened, it wouldn't escape his eyes.    

"We thought that Song Qingfeng had resigned himself to his fate. We didn't expect that he would find the people of the Song Clan. First, he stabbed Song Qilin to death, and then he killed the entire Song Clan with his sword. Even the Jinyi Dragon Guards didn't escape."    

"Is he really going to give up on himself?" Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light.    

"Indeed."    

Zhang Yi said, "Song Qingfeng has caused too much of a ruckus and alarmed Lord Song Qinhu, the governor of the Barbarian Border. He helped my Nets Above Snares Below suppress Song Qingfeng. Unexpectedly, Song Qingfeng suddenly killed himself with a sword. We couldn't stop him and he got what he wanted."    

"Before he died, Song Qingfeng kept saying that he was so close to taking over Great Qin, but all his efforts were in vain... I think he has been planning for a long time."    

There was dead silence.    

Pei Tianguang's face was also dark. Of everyone present, he was the closest to Song Qingfeng. He didn't think that his old friend would do such a thing.    

"Song Qingfeng committed suicide..."    

Lu Yu frowned and felt confused.    

In his memory, when the Heavenly Rushing Pass was surrounded by the Tang army, Song Qingfeng was still able to defend it. Lu Yu did not believe that such a person would end up killing himself.
