Peerless Taoist

Zhu Yan and the others felt the world spin around them. When they opened their eyes again, a vast starry sky had already entered their vision.    

Lu Yu and Zhao Feihong had long disappeared, as if they had left a long time ago.    

"We've come out!"    

The surrounding bodyguards muttered to each other, their faces filled with disbelief.    

Before this, they were still on the brink of death, and if they were slightly careless, they could have died.    

However, in less than two hours, they had actually come out safely, and they even saw the scene of the God of Slaughter submitting to someone.    

One could imagine that if they told others about this scene, no one would believe it. However, they had personally experienced such a thing.    

After a long time, the bearded man couldn't help but ask, "Who is that person? Why haven't we heard of him before? And there's such a strong person?"    

The others were silent.    

To them, the God of Slaughter was already an extraordinary existence.    

Lu Yu was actually able to make the God of Slaughter submit. This was an existence that they could not discuss.    

Zhu Yan said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue moving forward."    

Zhu Yan was very clear that an existence like this would probably be sensed by the other party just by talking a few sentences.    

The only thing they could do now was to continue escorting the bodyguards and forget about this matter. As the saying goes, 'an excessive amount of words will only bring trouble to oneself.'    

The other bodyguards also had a solemn expression on their faces. They were experienced and naturally knew what things to say and what things not to say.    

"Chief Escort, don't worry. Everyone knows the rules. They won't talk nonsense when they go back." The bearded man said.    

Zhu Yan nodded, but there was still a thoughtful expression on her face, as if she was thinking about something.    

...    

Lu Yu brought Zhao Feihong and flew towards the Dragon City.    

Along the way, Zhao Feihong seemed to be depressed, as if he was thinking about something.    

"Are you thinking about something?" Lu Yu asked.    

Zhao Feihong nodded and looked at Lu Yu. "Master, are you about to leave as well?"    

Lu Yu's eyebrows slightly raised. It seemed like nothing could hide from his disciple's eyes.    

After taking Bai Suqing away, he would have to face the great calamity of the heavens and earth and fight against those experts from the heavens.    

Although the Kunlun Secret Realm was also vast, in Lu Yu's eyes, it was still too small, and was not enough to be a Dao.    

"That's right."    

Lu Yu said.    

Zhao Feihong still had some loneliness on his face, but he quickly adjusted himself and clenched his fists. "I will definitely work hard to cultivate and catch up to Master as soon as possible!"    

Hearing these childish words, Lu Yu could not help but smile.    

"Then you should cultivate as soon as possible and catch up to me as soon as possible." Lu Yu rubbed Zhao Feihong's hair.    

Lu Yu brought Zhao Feihong with him, and they went straight to the Dragon City.    

The place where they were previously was not far from the Dragon City. As long as they crossed this mountain range, they would be able to see the figure of the Dragon City. The majestic and mighty giant city immediately stood in front of them, like a huge monster, causing people to feel fear in their hearts.    

This was the largest city in the entire Kunlun Secret Realm. Looking from afar, it was as if a mountain was reflected in their eyes.    

Zhao Feihong's eyes widened. In his memories, he had rarely seen such a city. Although it was already night time, the Dragon City was still brightly lit and magnificent.    

"This was once the home of the Ying Clan's ancestors, and it was where they lived for generations. In the future, you will also rule over the entire Kunlun Mystic Realm in this city," Lu Yu said.    

Zhao Feihong immediately became excited. He clenched his fists tightly, and a look of yearning flashed across his eyes.    

Lu Yu smiled faintly and said, "However, your strength is still too weak. Before you leave, I will choose a few ministers to help you gain a foothold. The people of this Kunlun Mystic Realm will not submit to a weakling."    

"Master, I will not disappoint you," Zhao Feihong said.    

"There's no need to do this for me. Since you are the king, you are the ruler of all the people of Kunlun. What you need to do is to defend a region and let the people of this land live a peaceful and happy life."    

"Does Emperor Xin count as a strong person? Does King You count as a strong person? They all have the power to destroy the heavens and earth. Their strength is tyrannical, but the people who live under their rule are living a life worse than death."    

"I don't need you to be strong enough to suppress all the heroes. If you can let all the people live a peaceful life, then you will be immeasurably virtuous."    

Zhao Feihong nodded, deep in thought.    

The two of them quickly arrived in front of the Dragon City Gate. Although it was late at night, there were still people entering and leaving the city.    

Tomorrow was the Dragon City King's ascension ceremony. Many people rushed over from all over to witness this legendary scene.    

"Entering fee, three hundred spirit stones. Only after paying can you enter!" The soldier in charge of guarding stopped the two of them.    

Someone beside him immediately complained, "The entrance fee was only thirty spirit stones in the past, how did it increase by ten times?"    

"My king is about to ascend the throne, so we naturally have to set up some barriers. Otherwise, all kinds of ghosts and monsters will probably mix in. This is the order of the Elders Guild. If you are unconvinced, you can go to the Elders Guild to raise your opinions." The soldier said bluntly.    

The people waiting outside immediately revealed a look of fear on their faces.    

The Elders Guild, those were all the close ministers of the Dragon City King, and they were all top experts. Who dared to raise their opinions in front of them?    

"Three hundred spirit stones is three hundred spirit stones. It's not like I can't take it out..."    

Many people shook their heads. After all, this was just a temporary increase in the price.    

Although three hundred spirit stones was not a small amount, most people still took it out.    

"Master, what should we do?" Zhao Feihong looked at Lu Yu.    

He knew very well that he would definitely experience a bloody storm in Dragon City. Lu Yu's goal was the Lu Family.    

He did not know if he would start targeting the Lu Family from now on.    

"Don't worry, let's talk about it after we enter the city." Lu Yu did not act rashly.    

Zhao Feihong had just experienced the God of Slaughter's trial. Although he was in high spirits, his mental strength had already been consumed too much. He needed to rest. Zhao Feihong himself could not sense this, but Lu Yu could.    

Although Lu Yu was strict, he would not ignore Zhao Feihong's body. He would only help him if he was right.    

At this moment, a luxurious carriage in the distance drove straight towards them. There was a group of attendants protecting it, and the scene was quite grand.    

“It’s the carriage of the Lu Family’s royal family.”    

“Quickly, get out of the way, quickly!”    

The people who were waiting in front of the city gate immediately turned pale with fright and hurriedly opened up a path.    

From the carriage, a handsome young man walked down. He was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes and looked extremely free and easy.    

“Young Master!” The soldiers standing in front of the city gate immediately bowed respectfully.    

The people around immediately let out a series of exclamations. Someone said with a trembling voice, “It’s actually the Lu Family’s Young Master, Lu Yingjie!”    

“This is a genius of the Lu Family. He’s not even thirty years old and is already at the peak of the Martial Saint realm. His future is limitless.”    

“After the Dragon City’s King ascends the throne, he’ll become the Crown Prince. He’ll be a person who stands above tens of thousands of people and possesses monstrous power!”    

The people discussed among themselves. They looked at Lu Yingjie with eyes filled with reverence.    

Lu Yingjie walked down from the carriage and said with a faint smile, “Everyone, thank you for your hard work.”    

He was gentle and refined, giving people a feeling of being in a spring breeze. He didn’t have the overbearing attitude that came from his status. The people immediately had a good impression of this genius of the Lu Family.    

“Young Master, you’re too kind. This is our duty.” The few soldiers said respectfully.    

Lu Yingjie nodded and said, “Tomorrow is the day of my father’s ascension. We should be celebrating the occasion, so let’s not charge the city entrance fee. I’ll go back and talk to the Elders Guild.”    

As soon as these words were spoken, a wave of cheers sounded from the surroundings.    

“Young Master is benevolent and kindhearted, and he’ll surely become a Saint Emperor in the future.” Many people couldn’t help but praise.    

Lu Yingjie smiled lightly. This sort of small trick to win over people’s hearts was extremely easy, and it wasn’t worth mentioning at all.    

He swept his gaze over the surroundings, and his gaze suddenly stopped on Zhao Feihong, and his gaze became slightly focused.    

Zhao Feihong was still wearing the magic clothes that the God of Slaughter had bestowed upon him, and he seemed to be completely inconspicuous on the surface, yet he concealed an extraordinary aura.    

“He’s affected the surrounding natural laws, and this is actually an Immortal Artifact-ranked magic treasure!”    

Lu Yingjie looked at the God of Slaughter’s magic clothes, and a wisp of burning and greed flashed through his eyes.
