Peerless Taoist

The air was filled with a dense smell of blood. Lu Yu's attack was extremely ruthless. He did not give the Tiger Wolf Guard Commander any chance to react and forcefully killed him into powder. Even the tyrannical force did not completely dissipate. It reverberated in the distant mountain peak, shattering a few huge rocks.    

This was an extremely powerful force. The Tiger Wolf Guard Commander was wearing the special "Profound Tiger Battle Armor" of the Great Zhou Imperial Court. It was of extremely high quality and had a shocking defensive power. However, it still could not stop this terrifying force.    

The surroundings were silent.    

The Mountain Guard Marquis and the other Tiger Wolf Guard Commander looked at the scene in front of them. Their mouths were wide open, and they could not say a word.    

After Lu Yu casually killed the Tiger Wolf Guard Commander, his palm energy did not completely dissipate. Instead, it left a deep palm print on the majestic mountain.    

This kind of power was simply unbelievable.    

"I, I, I..."    

The Tiger Wolf Guard Commander who survived stood there in a daze, his entire body trembling. Although he had realized that all the fear in his heart had been dug out at this moment, the intense trembling engulfed his entire body, causing him to shudder violently.    

The person who was killed just now, he naturally knew that the other party's strength was about the same as his.    

However, such a strong person was killed in the blink of an eye. Everything seemed like a dream, unbelievable.    

"Who are you?"    

The Tiger Wolf Guard Commander's teeth were chattering. Even though he forced himself to calm down, the panic in his heart still betrayed him.    

"Ji Yanran is not only the princess of the Great Zhou, but also my former classmate. Furthermore, you are just a mere foreign official. How dare you be so rude to the imperial family? Who gave you the guts?" Lu Yu's voice was calm, but it carried an unquestionable dignity.    

The Tiger Wolf Guard trembled and was on the verge of collapse.    

Especially when he heard Lu Yu call himself "Emperor", a strong sense of shock surged into his heart.    

"Ai…"    

Suddenly, the Marquis of the Mountain Guard let out a long sigh. He lowered his proud head and cupped his hands in front of Lu Yu. "Greetings, Your Majesty."    

Facing a top expert of the Heaven Realm like Lu Yu, the Marquis of the Mountain Guard had no choice but to lower his head. Although his strength was far superior to the two Tiger Wolf Guard commanders, he was not arrogant enough to challenge Lu Yu.    

This was an existence who had slaughtered his way into the Great Tang Divine Capital and forced the Guardian of the Divine Capital, Gao Lishi, to lower his head.    

As for the Marquis of the Mountain Guard, he was just a beginner Daolord. He was nothing in front of Lu Yu.    

"What? What? He is the Qin Emperor!"    

The surviving Tiger Wolf Guard trembled and his face turned pale.    

"Let Jiang Junhao go. Also, go back and tell Ji Wenchang that the secret realm within the Emerald Cloud Mountain is not something he can touch. If he doesn't want to die, then don't touch it," Lu Yu said indifferently.    

"I will do as you say." The Marquis nodded and agreed.    

He did not dare to disagree.    

He was afraid that if he answered wrongly, Lu Yu would slap him to death.    

"Let the Jiang Family's young master go. Let's go." The Marquis waved his hand.    

Immediately, the armored soldiers surrounding Jiang Junhao spread out. The Great Zhou Warship hovering in midair let out a loud roar, and steam billowed out of it as it quickly left.    

Without any hesitation.    

The Marquis knew very well that there was no benefit in staying here. It was better for him to quickly return to Liuding City and inform Ji Wenchang of the arrival of Qin Huang so that his Majesty could make preparations.    

After the Marquis left, Jiang Junhao hurriedly ran over with his men.    

"Thank you, Your Majesty. If it wasn't for you, I would probably have died today."    

Jiang Junhao cupped his hands and thanked him. Then, he muttered to himself with lingering fear, "These Tiger Wolf Guards actually attacked me. I wonder who gave them the order."    

"It can't be blamed on Ji Wenchang. There are a large number of relics from the ancient era and even the prehistoric era here. It will definitely attract his attention. Although you are from a wealthy family and are a noble, since it involves the relics, Ji Wenchang will naturally send someone to inquire about it." Lu Yu said indifferently.    

Ji Yanran and Jiang Junhao thought of the Great Thunderchant Temple floating in the dark sky, and their expressions immediately became serious.    

Of course, they were well aware of the weight of the ancient Buddhist ruins.    

If it were to spread out, it would definitely shake the entire Heaven Realm.    

"However, you don't have to think too much about it. I have already taken control of everything there. Even if Ji Wenchang personally came, he would not be able to take anything from me." Lu Yu said indifferently.    

Jiang Junhao and Ji Yanran's hearts trembled when they heard this.    

In the entire Great Zhou Empire, only Lu Yu would dare to call the Zhou Emperor by his name, and he would not even hesitate to do so.    

However, in the cultivation world, the strong were always the first. Although Lu Yu was young, his strength was already enough to be on equal footing with the Zhou Emperor. It was naturally not a problem for him to speak like this.    

"Jiang Junhao, go back and tell your Ancestor to tell the Zhou Emperor not to come close to this place. I'm not exaggerating. This place is quite dangerous." Lu Yu said, "The Zhou Emperor has helped me a lot. I reminded him out of goodwill."    

Jiang Junhao's heart trembled. However, he quickly thought of the endless evil in the darkness.    

Countless evil spirits were like devils that had escaped from their cages. The scene was so overwhelming that he did not want to see it again.    

"Alright, I'll inform my Ancestor when I return."    

Jiang Junhao thanked Lu Yu again and again, and invited Lu Yu to the Jiang Family as a guest.    

However, Lu Yu waved his hand and refused.    

If he were to go to the Jiang Family now, he would definitely meet the Jiang Family's Ancestor, the legendary Soldier Saint. However, Lu Yu did not want to force the issue. It was better to let Jiang Junhao be the messenger and probe the opinion of the Soldier Saint first before making a decision.    

This time, Lu Yu was very careful. His Great Qin Dynasty had a Sage of Confucianism and a Sage of Demon, but there was no Sage of Soldiers. Although there were many geniuses in Great Qin's military family, such as Hong Shaowu, Qin Luanshan, and Zhang Baoxiang, they were all too young and could not bear the responsibility.    

If there was a Sage of Soldiers, Great Qin would definitely be reborn and its overall strength would increase greatly.    

Seeing that Lu Yu refused, Jiang Junhao did not ask any further questions and left with his personal guards.    

"There are still two months left. Emperor Qin, why don't you stay in my residence? You have helped me so many times, so I will also treat you as a host." Ji Yanran revealed a faint smile.    

Ever since she found out that Lu Yu came to Kunlun for Bai Suqing, a hint of sadness flashed across Ji Yanran's eyes. However, she hid this emotion well and did not show it.    

"That's fine."    

Lu Yu nodded and did not refuse.    

This time, he had made rapid progress in the Eight Trigrams Furnace. He had broken through several realms and needed time to temper and consolidate.
