Peerless Taoist

The powerful pressure swept across the surroundings in an instant, making the atmosphere tense.    

Hearing this cold voice, Ji Yanran was shocked.    

Then, she saw Jiang Junhao and the others who were detained on the deck of the warship.    

Jiang Junhao and the other personal guards were surrounded by a group of heavy-armored soldiers in black armor. They seemed to be protecting them, but in reality, they were detained and not allowed to take a single step outside.    

“Fang Ping, what’s the meaning of this? Are you trying to capture me?” Ji Yanran said coldly.    

Fang Ping was unmoved, his expression still cold.    

However, the general beside the Mountain Guard Marquis shouted in a deep voice, “Your Majesty has ordered that the area within ten thousand miles of Emerald Cloud Mountain has been classified as a top secret of the imperial court. All matters are not to be leaked. This is your Majesty’s order. I ask the princess to obey it.”    

“I…”    

Hearing that it was Ji Wenchang’s order, Ji Yanran panicked.    

Although she was a princess, she was not Ji Wenchang’s daughter.    

In reality, Ji Wenchang was like Emperor Tang Li. They seemed to have been resurrected from ancient times, and there were no living descendants. The imperial family’s princes and princesses were all selected from the younger generation of the Ji Family.    

It was precisely because of the lack of blood ties that Ji Yanran felt fear, afraid that she would provoke Emperor Zhou’s Ji Wenchang’s displeasure.    

Ji Yanran shook her head. "We don't know how we came out. As for what happened inside, I don't remember."    

She thought for a while and decided not to tell them about what happened in the world of the Eight Trigram Furnace.    

There were too many secrets there, including the ancient Buddhism, and every single one of them was extremely complicated. Even if she told them about it, she should have told them about it in front of Ji Wenchang, so how could she tell them all the secrets in front of them?    

"It seems that Your Highness does not know our identities."    

A general sneered and took out a golden waist plate from his waist.    

"Tiger and Wolf Guard? You are the Tiger and Wolf Guard!" Ji Yanran's expression suddenly changed when she saw the waist plate.    

"That's right! We are the commander of the Tiger and Wolf Guard. We are ordered to investigate the sudden change in the Emerald Cloud Mountain. Princess, if you know anything, tell us immediately. Otherwise, we can't guarantee what will happen."    

The general spoke bluntly.    

Although Ji Yanran was the princess, she was helpless in front of the Tiger and Wolf Guard.    

These Tiger and Wolf Guards were similar to the Imperial Dragon Guards. They were all the army of the emperor. They could investigate the officials and the common people, so their status was extraordinary.    

Not to mention that she was only a princess, even if it was a prince, these Tiger and Wolf Guards had the right to investigate.    

"I..." Ji Yanran was caught in a dilemma.    

"Let Ji Wenchang come here personally. Who do you think you are? You are not qualified to ask about the matters here."    

Lu Yu's expression suddenly turned cold as he said coldly.    

"Hmm?" The Mountain Guard Fang Ping frowned and swept his gaze towards Lu Yu.    

Lu Yu's aura was concealed very well. He was following beside Ji Yanran, and he was gentle and refined, like a scholar who was plotting strategies. The Mountain Guard did not put him in his eyes at all.    

But now, Lu Yu actually dared to speak rudely. He was simply too presumptuous.    

"Little bastard, do you think you have the right to speak here?!" The two Tiger and Wolf Guard commanders were furious. They slapped Lu Yu with their palms. The palm wind was sharp, as if it could tear through everything.    

These two people did not have any intention of keeping him alive. They were going to kill him the moment they attacked!    

"Don't attack!" Ji Yanran cried out in alarm.    

She knew very well Lu Yu's strength. If these two Tiger and Wolf Guards dared to attack Lu Yu, they were simply courting death.    

"Princess Hua Zhang, this is a small lesson for you. I will let you know how powerful I am. If you don't obey, you will end up like this person..."    

Before the Tiger and Wolf Guard commander could finish his words, Lu Yu suddenly stretched out his finger and flicked it at his forehead.    

With a boom, the Tiger and Wolf Guard commander exploded into a bloody mist that filled the sky and scattered in all directions.    

"Tell me, what will happen to me?"    

Lu Yu looked at the other Tiger and Wolf Guard commander and said coldly.
