Peerless Taoist

"This is not the Great Yuan Bank's rule, but my rule."    

Gu Xia proudly raised her head and stared at Lu Yu with disdain, "In this capital, I am the rule!"    

"If I say that you are real, then even if you are fake, it is still real."    

"If I say that you are fake, then no matter who it is in this world, they cannot be said to be real."    

"Why? Are you not convinced?"    

Many of the surrounding maids revealed expressions of fear. Even the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion did not dare to say anything.    

The Great Yuan Bank was extremely powerful. In the State of Yue, from the government to the holy sects, they all had debts of the Great Yuan Bank. It could be said that the Great Yuan Bank was the God of Wealth of the State of Yue. The Treasure Gathering Pavilion was also a new force, but if they provoked the Great Yuan Bank, their funds would be halted, and they would be greatly hurt.    

"When did the Great Yuan Bank's rule become your rule?"    

Lu Yu's expression was natural as he stared at Gu Xia and said, "I will give you one more chance. Go back and check again. This time, I can forgive you for being careless."    

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.    

Was this young man crazy? He actually dared to provoke her in such a manner.    

That was the Great Yuan Bank's master in the State of Yue. Even the State of Yue's Prime Minister had to be polite to Gu Xia.    

Pavilion Master shook his head. He had already confirmed that Lu Yu did not have any background at all. He should only be a young and reckless person.    

"Hahaha, what a fool. He actually dares to confront Pavilion Master Gu head on. He simply doesn't know what death is." Yuan Hong clapped her hands, her face filled with excitement.    

Right now, she wished that Lu Yu would die. Now that Lu Yu was courting death, he actually dared to anger Pavilion Master Gu. This was naturally what she wanted to see the most.    

"Spare me once? Who do you think you are? You actually dare to say that you will spare me once." Gu Xia sneered as she sized Lu Yu up from head to toe.    

She was able to become the branch bank master of the Da Yuan Bank, so she was quite sensitive to the expressions of others. Just from his appearance, she could tell what kind of background he had.    

The clothes that Lu Yu was wearing were extremely luxurious. They were made from the finest materials of the Embroidery Workshop. However, such clothes were not considered luxurious to the upper class.    

The most important thing was that there was no mana fluctuation on Lu Yu's body at all.    

This could prove that Lu Yu's cultivation level was not very high.    

In the Heaven Realm, everything depended on strength. Some of the rich and powerful aristocrats might not have high aptitude, but they would still spend a lot of money to improve their aptitude and increase their strength. There was no such situation at all.    

The only possibility was that Lu Yu was just strong on the outside but weak on the inside. In fact, he did not have much strength at all. He was just wearing a luxurious robe to force himself on the stage.    

Sensing this, the cold smile on Gu Xia's face became even more obvious.    

"I …"    

Lu Yu stared at Gu Xia, "I am the person who can decide life and death."    

The surroundings immediately became silent. Everyone looked at Lu Yu in shock.    

"Is there something wrong with this person's brain?" Yuan Hong sized up Lu Yu from top to bottom. This was the first time she felt that it was so absurd.    

Even the Treasure Gathering Pavilion's Pavilion Master did not dare to speak like this when he saw Gu Xia.    

"As expected, he is a hothead. I hope that Gu Xia will not become enemies with my Treasure Gathering Pavilion because of this matter." The Pavilion Master closed his eyes and shook his head.    

He could already clearly imagine how furious Gu Xia would be. In the entire State of Yue, there would probably be no one who dared to speak to Gu Xia like this.    

"Decide my life and death? Do you think that you can deceive me just because you are trying to act mysterious?"    

Gu Xia was so angry that she laughed. A hint of killing intent flashed across her eyes.    

With her identity, no matter where she went, she would always be surrounded by compliments. Who would dare to speak to her like this?    

Lu Yu's attitude had clearly angered her.    

"Let's attack together and cripple this person first." Gu Xia shouted angrily.    

The two black-robed cultivators behind Gu Xia immediately walked forward and also unleashed a powerful aura.    

"Brat, you are quite bold. You actually dare to provoke our Da Yuan Bank branch's branch manager!"    

The two black-robed cultivators revealed killing intent. A golden radiance appeared behind one of them. His dharma idol floated in the air. It was actually a peerless war god with a halberd in his hand. His armor was bright, and he stood in the air, condensing battle intent into his dharma idol. He was actually a cultivator of the military.    

On the other hand, a purple demonic aura appeared behind the other black-robed cultivator. It emitted a noble, ferocious, terrifying, and sharp aura. Immediately, the demonic aura in the sky condensed into the image of a ferocious wolf. Its eyes were cold as it hovered behind its head.    

A piercing wind blew towards the surroundings, causing the faces of many maids to reveal expressions of fear. They could not help but take a few steps back.    

"Is this the strength of the guards of the Da Yuan Bank?" The Pavilion Master of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion's expression suddenly changed.    

Just the two black-robed guards who were following Gu Xia had the strength of the Mysterious Immortal Realm!    

This was a Mysterious Immortal!    

The Pavilion Master of the Treasure Tower had relied on countless pills to reach the Mysterious Immortal Realm. However, with the Pavilion Master's Spiritual Sense, he could tell that one of the two people in front of him was a cultivator of the Army, and the other was a demonic cultivator. Both of their strengths were far above his.    

If the two forces were to really become enemies, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion would not have the slightest chance of retaliating.    

"Disperse, disperse!" The Pavilion Master hurriedly said.    

He did not want to get involved in this dispute.    

The surrounding maids immediately dispersed, not daring to get close to Lu Yu at all.    

"Since you do not know what's good for you, then don't blame us!"    

The two black-robed cultivators activated their auras to the limit. Two powerful forces erupted out and charged towards Lu Yu.    

A wolf and a general attacked at the same time, blocking all of Lu Yu's escape routes from different directions.    

From this point, it could be seen that the two of them had been working together for a long time, so they had already reached a tacit understanding when they started fighting, allowing them to quickly find Lu Yu's weaknesses.    

"Ah! Be careful..." Chen Lan, who was standing behind Lu Yu, could not help but close her eyes.    

Yuan Hong sneered. She crossed her arms and planned to laugh at Lu Yu.    

When Lu Yu saw these two forces attacking him, his expression did not change. He did not even move at all, and just stood there quietly.    

"Are you scared?" Gu Xia snorted, the contempt in her eyes growing stronger.    

She had seen people like this before. In the beginning, they were extremely arrogant, but once they started fighting, these guys who were strong on the outside would immediately surrender, allowing them to do anything.    

Gu Xia did not believe that Lu Yu could be a match for the black-robed man. From the reaction of this battle, it was obvious.    

In an instant, two powerful shadows, carrying extremely powerful spells, ruthlessly smashed onto Lu Yu's body.
