Peerless Taoist

The captain surnamed Jiang's eyebrows furrowed, "This person's background is unknown. If we bring him in without permission, there might be problems."    

"What are you afraid of? We are the royal guards of the Great Zhou. Furthermore, this person is not moving at all. He is most likely dead. What danger is there?"    

The red-haired leader laughed coldly. He did not listen to his companion's suggestion at all. He waved his hand at Fang Ping and said, "Bring him here!"    

"Yes!"    

Fang Ping did not dare to be negligent. He grabbed Lu Yu and sent him to the deck.    

At this moment, Lu Yu was still in a deep sleep. He did not move at all, allowing the other party to do whatever he wanted.    

Fang Ping's methods were extremely violent. After that, he threw Lu Yu onto the deck, causing a loud sound to ring out.    

"So young... Who is this person? How did he get in?"    

The red-haired captain then searched Lu Yu's body for a while before taking out a Coiling Dragon Token and holding it in his hand.    

The token was completely wordless. It was completely made of pure gold and rectangular in shape. There were nine lifelike dragons carved on it. They coiled around the token and emitted a supreme majesty.    

"Zhu Cheng, I can see that the material is not ordinary and this person's identity is not ordinary. Why don't you and I lock him in the cage in the cabin and decide what to do after we get out?" Captain Jiang said in a deep voice.    

"Hehe, what kind of extraordinary identity? Would his identity be as noble as ours?"    

A disdainful smile flashed across the face of the red-haired captain, Zhu Cheng, and he laughed, "This person should be a famous body cultivator, but his physical body is pretty good. He can be refined into a puppet by me. With the help of this puppet, our exploration of the ruins will be much smoother."    

Hearing Zhu Cheng say this, the captain surnamed Jiang shook his head and didn't stop him.    

His name was Jiang Junhao, and just like Zhu Cheng, he was also from a prominent family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.    

These Prominent Families were connected to the Imperials through marriage, and they controlled every aspect of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty. They were without a doubt a peerless family.    

Even in the Great Yu Dynasty, these families were still powerful.    

The words that Zhu Cheng said were obviously not empty words. He had the ability to do so.    

"This person's breath of life hasn't ended yet, but he has lost consciousness. I'm afraid his soul has already dissipated. Such conditions are simply made for possession."    

Zhu Cheng laughed coldly. The cinnabar mark between his eyebrows suddenly trembled, and then a red light suddenly shot out from between his eyebrows, flying towards Lu Yu.    

Whoosh ~ ~ ~ ~    

The red light cut through the air and instantly entered Lu Yu's forehead.    

"I didn't come back empty handed this time. With this puppet with a powerful body, my chances of survival in the ancient treasury will greatly increase... Ah!"    

Before Zhu Cheng could finish, a sharp pain suddenly covered his mind.    

He suddenly let out a cry of pain and retreated. A line of blood flowed out from the cinnabar mark on his forehead.    

"What's wrong?"    

Jiang Junhao frowned and immediately went forward, pressing down on Zhu Cheng's shoulder.    

Just as he put his hand on it, Jiang Junhao immediately felt that Zhu Cheng's soul was in a state of chaos and was on the verge of collapse.    

"Focus, calm down!"    

Jiang Junhao shouted in a stern voice, and an ancient incantation was chanted from his mouth.    

This incantation spread in all directions, as if there was a strange magic being transmitted.    

Many soldiers standing around couldn't help but feel their hearts clear and calm down.    

Zhu Cheng's screams of pain also gradually subsided. He slowly opened his eyes, and a voice filled with anger and shock flashed through his eyes.    

"I'm afraid that this person has a high-level soul magic treasure on him. Just now, he completely repelled my soul power, causing me to suffer a lot!" Zhu Cheng gritted his teeth and said.    

"You are the Realm Lord. What kind of treasure does he have that can repel your soul power?" Jiang Junhao's frown deepened as he said in disbelief.    

He quickly pulled Zhu Cheng back, "This person is not simple. He is not dead yet. Let's not deal with him casually."    

"No! If I don't take revenge, my Dao heart won't be stable." Zhu Cheng's expression was cold as he said in a low tone: "He entered the ruins alone and didn't have anyone with him. How noble can he be?"    

Right at this moment, the closed door was suddenly pushed open.    

"What are you doing outside? You're disturbing my cultivation."    

A young woman with a peerless beauty stepped out of the boat tower. She wore bright yellow clothes, her long hair danced in the wind, and her steps were light, as if she were a fairy descending from the heavens.    

The woman's voice was extremely pleasant to the ear, and it was also accompanied by a powerful pressure that swept in all directions.    

Your Highness! Seeing the woman arrive, all the soldiers present half-knelt and bowed.    

Even Commander Zhu Cheng and Jiang Junhao bowed at the same time: "Your Highness!"    

The woman walked up to the two, and the air was filled with the fragrance of gardenias. The two lowered their heads at the same time, and a fiery light flashed through their eyes.    

No matter who it was, they would be moved by this beauty.    

Princess Hua Zhang, Ji Yanran!    

She was a direct descendant of the Ji Family's imperials, and although she wasn't the son or daughter of Emperor Zhou, Ji Wenchang, she was given the title of Princess. From this, one could see how noble her status was.    

Ji Yanran was recognized by Emperor Zhou among the imperials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and she could enter and leave the palace as she pleased. Many princes that fought for the throne would try their best to get close to her.    

Zhu Cheng spoke first, "We met a rogue cultivator on the way, and his soul seems to have been destroyed. I'm going to turn him into a puppet."    

He summarized what happened just now to Ji Yanran.    

"Oh? You still need to use the Spirit Stone Cannon to pick up a rogue cultivator?" Ji Yanran's beautiful eyes twinkled with a bright light.    

Zhu Cheng laughed and said, "It seems that nothing can be hidden from Your Highness. I just want to use the Spirit Stone Cannon to test him, but this person's physical strength is really strong, to be able to withstand the Spirit Stone Cannon without being damaged. He is simply the best material to refine into a puppet."    

"He can have such a powerful body?"    

Ji Yanran raised her eyebrows and glanced at Lu Yu, who was lying on the ground, out of the corner of her eye.    

However, with just one glance, Ji Yanran's body suddenly shook slightly, and she stood still as if she had been struck by lightning.    

Northern Yan Continent, Jade Cauldron Academy...    

On Black Crow Mountain, the Yin Yang Heavenly Eye awakened...    

Scenes from the past started to appear in front of her eyes.    

For countless days and nights, Ji Yanran would remember everything that happened on that day. Every day, there would be a messenger from the East Victory Star River.    

One earth-shattering thing after another that Lu Yu had created would make her feel excited. She wanted to return to Jade Cauldron Academy and fight alongside Lu Yu.
