Peerless Taoist

One whip after another ruthlessly struck the back of the dragon horses. The scales on the dragon horses were extremely thick and heavy, so they would not be injured, but it would make the dragon horses feel pain.    

The dragon horses suddenly let out a cry of pain, raised their heads, and prepared to get up from the ground.    

But suddenly, an invisible pressure descended onto the carriage.    

Boom!    

The four dragon horses all fell to their knees on the ground.    

The four dragon horses that pulled the carriage had great strength, but they were powerless to resist this tyrannical pressure.    

"Can you do it? Hurry up and leave!" Yang Rui's impatient voice came from the carriage.    

"Young Master, today is too abnormal. These dragon horses can't stand up anymore." The driver replied with a head full of sweat.    

"Trash!"    

Yang Rui walked out of the carriage and poured his mana into the whip. He then slapped the four dragon horses in front of him without a care.    

Pow! Pow! Pow!    

The long whip ruthlessly slapped down, directly tearing off the scales on the dragon horses. The few dragon horses grimaced in pain and cried out in pain.    

Seeing this, Lu Yu raised his hand and pointed at them. In an instant, the dragon horses suddenly stood up and let out ear-piercing roars as they charged towards Yang Rui and the others.    

Although the dragon horses were horses, they had the blood of dragons. They had great strength and were Demonic Beasts used by the military.    

The four dragon horses went berserk at the same time. The guards beside Yang Rui did not have time to react and were directly sent flying by the hooves of the horses.    

"Ahhhh... My arm is broken!"    

"My legs, my legs!"    

The group of guards fell to the ground, screaming continuously.    

The onlookers around them did not step forward to help. Instead, they whispered to each other, their eyes flashing with joy and relief. This Yang Rui had been committing crimes in the capital of the State of Yue, so he was probably quite unpopular.    

"Evil creature, how dare you!"    

Suddenly, a few white-robed elders standing beside Yang Rui shouted angrily.    

Their strength was tyrannical, and with a wave of their hands, they slapped the four Dragon Horses to death.    

For a moment, blood spurted out and scattered, causing the entire scene to become a mess.    

Losing the four Dragon Horses, the carriage also stopped on the spot, unable to move.    

"Hahaha, it's not that the time has not come. Yang Rui, now that you don't have a carriage, what can you use to leave?" Seeing this scene, Ji Yanran could not help but raise her eyebrows and laugh out loud.    

"Humph!"    

There was still a trace of blood on Yang Rui's face.    

He snorted coldly and waved his hand, letting his subordinates give him a horse to ride and then left.    

This time, he, Yang Rui, wanted to embarrass Ji Yanran, but he did not expect that he would lose all his face. He could only leave in a sorry state and did not say anything else.    

After Yang Rui and his group left, the streets regained their former prosperity.    

"You are a dignified princess, but he is just an outsider. How dare he be so rude to you?" Lu Yu frowned.    

Ji Yanran let out a long sigh and said with a desolate expression, "Although I am a princess, I don't have the support of my mother clan. Furthermore, I don't have the power to rule, so they won't put me in their hearts."    

Lu Yu immediately understood.    

Princess was just a title.    

In order to truly rule, one had to at least have the power to do so.    

For example, some of the direct descendants of the Lu Family in the lower realm had been conferred the title of duke because of their blood relation with Lu Yu. However, those dukes could at most receive some money from the Zongzheng Temple every year, and they did not have any strength at all.    

As for the Great Qin's King Lu You, although he was also a member of the imperial family, he also held the position of governor of the Netherworld. This was the reason why he was respected.    

"No wonder, back then, a small Zhu Cheng dared to disobey your orders." Lu Yu said indifferently.    

Ji Yanran revealed a bitter expression as she shook her head. "In the Ji Family of the Great Zhou, there are also countless people fighting for the throne. It's just like the Tang Dynasty back then. The crown prince has yet to be confirmed, and the clan is in a fierce struggle. They won't allow me, a lone person, to obtain real power."    

The reason for all of this was that Ji Yanran did not have the support of her family.    

Although Ji Mingzhong, the King of Zhou, took extra care of Ji Yanran, Ji Yanran did not want to trouble Ninth Uncle, so she did not treat him as her background. She only treated him as an uncle.    

The two of them walked to the Yue Imperial Palace as they spoke.    

A magnificent courtyard stood at the center of the capital. It was the core area of the Yue Country's capital, and it was connected to all directions. Furthermore, it was filled with spiritual energy.    

Lu Yu and Ji Yanran walked to the Yue Imperial Palace.    

The spies of the Yue Imperial Palace were everywhere in the capital. Someone had reported Princess Hua Zhang's whereabouts a long time ago.    

Although Ji Yanran did not have real power, the etiquette of the palace still existed. After all, it was the palace, so there was no need for the princess to put on a big show. However, there was still etiquette, otherwise, she would be criticized by many of the great scholars in the imperial court.    

The door was wide open, and servants had already cleaned it up. There were fifty soldiers in armor standing next to the door, guarding the safety of the surroundings.    

Princess Yue had brought a group of servants and was waiting in front of the door.    

Seeing Ji Yanran and a young man walking over, Princess Yue frowned slightly. This was because the young man was walking side by side with Ji Yanran. This was simply too rude.    

No matter what, Ji Yanran was still a princess of the imperial family. How could she walk side by side with a young man?    

"This is the Yue Imperial Palace?"    

Lu Yu looked at the magnificent palace and suddenly frowned slightly. A purple light flashed in his eyes. With his Spiritual Sense, he discovered that there was a ball of black fog lingering above the palace. It was like a ghost, and it did not dissipate.    

This was a curse.    

Only in some of the most cursed places would such a scene appear. And those curses were usually wrapped around fate. Ordinary people would not be able to see it with their naked eyes.    

"Aunt, I'm here."    

Ji Yanran quickly walked forward and looked at the Yang Family anxiously. "How is my uncle?"    

The Yang Family's face was filled with grief as she shook her head. "He's still the same. He has not recovered for a long time."    

Ji Yanran quickly said, "I have invited a godly doctor to treat Uncle. Please let us take a look at Uncle."    

At this moment, Ji Yanran's heart was extremely anxious.    

She knew that Lu Yu had the power to change the heavens and change the earth, so she decisively let Lu Yu come to treat him.    

Perhaps only Lu Yu had the ability to save Ji Mingzhong.    

"Him?" The Yang Family looked at Lu Yu with a deep doubt.    

No matter what, a godly doctor should need several decades to train, but Lu Yu was still too young.    

Lu Yu saw the Yang Family's concern and said, "My surname is Lu, and I'm an alchemist."    

This sentence dispelled the Yang Family's concerns.    

After all, there were many geniuses on the way of alchemy.    

"Thank you, Master Lu." The Yang Family quickly made a gesture of invitation.
