Peerless Taoist

After all, they had been in the Kunlun Land for many years. The Ying Family still had many branches. After the main branch of the Ying Family was destroyed, the various branches fled in all directions. Although the Lu Family had sent people to hunt them down, there were still some families that managed to escape.    

For thousands of years, this family changed their surname to "Zhao." They had been hiding for a few years. A few years ago, they were accidentally discovered by the current Dragon City King and suffered a devastating disaster.    

The family was almost completely wiped out. An old butler took the young master who was still in his cradle and escaped with great difficulty.    

Fortunately, the child in his cradle was too young and did not fall into the family genealogy. Thus, he was able to escape.    

As for the old butler, he had long been treated as a dead man by the Lu Family. When he escaped, he was struck by the Lu Family's immortal artifact, and his soul almost dissipated. It was already a miracle that he was able to survive until now.    

"The Lu Family is doing this. Aren't they afraid of retribution?" A cold light flashed across Lu Yu's eyes.    

The ancient Human Emperor was respected by all races.    

If someone dared to attack the Human Emperor's bloodline, there was no need for the Human Emperor to give the order. The other races would also completely destroy the Lu Family.    

The old man sighed and said, "The Great Qin Imperial Court has long cut off contact with the outside world. The Kunlun Land is isolated from the outside world. Many people guess that the Great Qin Imperial Court has been destroyed. Now, the people only know that the Dragon City King is here, but they don't know that there is a Great Qin."    

Just as he finished speaking, the old man suddenly started to cough up blood violently, and his face turned pale once again.    

Seeing this, Zhao Feihong grabbed Lu Yu's hand and continued to plead, "Brother Immortal, you are so powerful that you can definitely save Grandfather, right?"    

Lu Yu let out a long sigh and said, "Although I can protect his life, his physical body is already in pieces. For him, every moment he lives is torture. It is better to be free than to suffer."    

Zhao Feihong cried even more sadly. He threw himself into the old man's embrace and cried, "Grandfather, don't leave me."    

The old man's eyes were also filled with tears. He reluctantly stroked Zhao Feihong's hair. Back then, he had only left with his newborn son to complete the Family Head's orders. Who would have thought that after so many years, he had already invested too much emotion into this child?    

"Cough, cough, cough!"    

The old man started to cough violently. As he coughed, he spat out blood from his mouth.    

Zhao Feihong took a handkerchief from the side and wiped the blood from the old man's mouth. However, the old man's blood was too much, and the handkerchief was soon soaked in blood.    

"You are the son of the Dragon City's King, and you are the bloodline of the Human Emperor. You are destined to soar into the nine heavens and shock the world... However, you can only walk on your own path."    

"Grandfather, I will be able to cultivate soon. We can live a good life." Zhao Feihong shook the old man's body.    

The old man shook his head. His face was pale, and his aura was already extremely weak.    

He used the last of his strength to open his eyes and look at Lu Yu, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to bow. Fei Hong is still young and does not understand many things. I hope Your Majesty can help him …"    

The old man's voice was very weak, intermittent, as if he could die at any time.    

Lu Yu said, "The Human Emperor has been my benefactor all these years. Naturally, I have to protect his safety."    

Hearing Lu Yu's words, the old man slowly closed his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.    

"Thank you …" For so many years, I have been on the verge of death countless times. It's just that I can't let Fei Hong down …"    

The old man's voice became weaker and weaker. In the end, his voice was as thin as a mosquito's, and it stopped abruptly. His eyes gradually froze, and his aura was completely gone.    

"Grandfather …" Zhao Feihong cried and kept shaking the old man, but the old man did not respond to him at all.    

The old man's soul had completely shattered, and he could not even reincarnate. He directly dissipated into the air.    

This was the result of him forcefully reversing the Heaven's Will. He had helped Zhao Feihong up until now, but in the end, he had died.    

"The death of a person is like the extinguishing of a lamp. To him, this is also a form of relief." Lu Yu placed his hand on Zhao Feihong's shoulder.    

Although that was the case, it was difficult to resolve the grief of losing a loved one in such a short period of time.    

Lu Yu quietly accompanied Zhao Feihong and waited for him to faint. He used his supreme divine power to protect Zhao Feihong's soul in order to prevent him from being too sad and injuring himself.    

After waking up, Zhao Feihong's expression clearly flashed with a sinister look. Lu Yu could feel hatred from this child.    

"Brother, please teach me how to cultivate." Zhao Feihong knelt down and begged Lu Yu.    

Lu Yu noticed the deep hatred hidden in Zhao Feihong's eyes and suddenly let out a long sigh.    

"You want to cultivate and take revenge on the Lu Family after you have gained power?" Lu Yu asked.    

"I want to destroy the Lu Family!" Zhao Feihong gnashed his teeth, his eyes completely red.    

"Then what will you do after the Lu Family is destroyed?" Lu Yu asked.    

Hearing this, Zhao Feihong's eyes suddenly flashed with a blank look.    

To a small child, the Lu Family was already a huge monster. It was easier said than done to destroy him. As for what he would do after destroying the Lu Family, he did not think about it.    

"Your grandfather raised you up, but did he ever tell you to seek revenge on the Lu Family?" Lu Yu asked.    

Zhao Feihong shook his head.    

He had heard his grandfather talk about his background before, but his grandfather did not mention the Lu Family's hatred at all.    

"Revenge is secondary. Your grandfather should want you to be a good person." Lu Yu patted Zhao Feihong's shoulder. "No matter if you want to be a strong person or an ordinary person, as long as you live well, you will be able to comfort the old man's soul in heaven."    

Thinking of his grandfather, Zhao Feihong's eyes reddened once again.    

"The path of cultivation is still up to you. I just don't want you to become a puppet whose eyes are covered by hatred."    

Lu Yu let out a voice, which instantly woke Zhao Feihong up.    

In an instant, Zhao Feihong's eyes became clear, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.    

"If you really want to listen to the cultivation, then calm down and listen to my lecture seriously. How much you can understand will depend on your luck."    

Lu Yu sat cross-legged and chanted profoundly.    

Zhao Feihong sat in front of Lu Yu with a serious expression and listened to Lu Yu's words seriously.    

When he truly started cultivating, he could see Zhao Feihong's talent.    

Three days passed. Zhao Feihong listened to the Dao every day at sunrise and rested at sunset. He was never tired, and finally, he attracted the Spiritual Qi, and his body emitted waves of immortal pressure.    

"Is this the Spiritual Qi?" Zhao Feihong was a little excited. He felt the power in his body and danced with excitement.    

Lu Yu was also secretly shocked. Zhao Feihong had just received the Spiritual Qi and had already broken through to the first level of Qi Refining.    

He had told this child to directly cultivate the ancient cultivation system, but he did not expect that Zhao Feihong's aptitude was extremely high, and he actually comprehended it in an instant.    

"Don't be agitated. Your current achievements are nothing at all. A mere servant of the Lu Family is probably stronger than you!" Lu Yu said in a deep voice, "Your aptitude is indeed not bad, but you must know that honesty is the most important. Many geniuses who are even more outstanding than you usually work harder than you. If you are too proud of your achievements, you will never be able to improve."    

"I understand."    

Zhao Feihong nodded his head, and quickly restrained the restlessness in his heart. He quietly listened to Lu Yu's lecture.    

Lu Yu did not let Zhao Feihong only cultivate the Spiritual Qi. He also prepared to nurture his physical strength.    

This child had experienced too much suffering, but he was still quite thin and weak at this age. His face was yellow and his skin was thin, and his hair was dry.    

Fortunately, there were still many elixirs in Lu Yu's Storage Bag. Lu Yu took out a Vermillion Fruit and refined it with his divine power. He then used the vast medicinal strength to pour it into Zhao Feihong's body.    

In an instant, it was as if Zhao Feihong had been thirsty for a long drought, and his entire body suddenly emitted a resplendent golden light. A dazzling pillar of blood energy burst out from Zhao Feihong's body and shot straight into the void.    

His hair began to grow, and his black hair was like a waterfall. His originally thin body also became filled with blood energy.    

It was also at this moment that a red dragon phantom burst out from Zhao Feihong's body. It soared above the nine heavens, and the dragon's cry was deafening.    

"Is this the power of the Human Emperor bloodline?"    

Lu Yu was shocked. Seeing this situation, he was also quite shocked.    

One had to know that Zhao Feihong had just stepped into the cultivation realm, but he had actually produced such a phenomenon.    

In his body, there was the ancestral dragon bloodline from the ancient era. Now that it had suddenly awakened, it immediately bloomed with a dazzling light.    

The entire village was alarmed.    

The villagers who lived in the village were all mortals. They had never seen such a scene before. All of them knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.    

However, the many experts of the Great Zhou Empire were suddenly awakened and rushed over.    

"This is … the phenomenon of breaking through the realm!"    

Shen Feihu and Yin Zhi Lan looked at each other and directly flew over, arriving in front of the shabby thatched cottage.    

Many cultivators were alarmed. They rushed over and saw a purple light from afar that shot straight into the sky.    

When they saw the light enveloping Zhao Feihong, they were immediately shocked.    

"This child, what a great momentum. Such a physique is definitely the talent of a genius!" Shen Feihu's eyes were sharp, and he could see that Zhao Feihong was extraordinary with a single glance.    

They wanted to take another step forward, but Lu Yu's voice suddenly sounded.    

"All of you wait outside. No one is allowed to approach."    

"Qin Huang!" Shen Feihu noticed Lu Yu who was sitting beside him, and a hint of fear flashed across his eyes.    

“It seems like Qin Huang has found a good seedling here. He’s indeed a top-notch expert of the Heaven Realm. We didn’t notice such a good seedling before, but he discovered it.” Shen Feihu was filled with emotion as he ordered the cultivators that came later to stay away and not get close.    

But right at this moment, a voice suddenly said coldly, “If he continues cultivating, I’m afraid that such a scene will attract the natives here.”    

It was Zhu Canghai, the leader of the young talents. He wore a white robe and had a figure like an immortal as he stepped through the air.    

When he saw the strange scene that occurred when Zhao Feihong broke through, a wisp of ruthlessness flashed through Zhu Canghai’s eyes. He raised his hand and shot out a strand of sword qi that charged towards Zhao Feihong.
