Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu's heart sank as a hint of killing intent flashed across his eyes.    

The current actions of the Tang Dynasty government were clearly the work of Penglai.    

Penglai people considered themselves to be the rulers of the heavens, high and mighty, treating all living creatures as slaves.    

They had never thought about properly running the heavens, but instead treated the people and all living things here as their slaves, ordering them around as they pleased.    

"Little brother, what are you doing in the Zi Wei Galaxy?" The old man asked.    

Lu Yu was silent for a moment, then said indifferently, "I'm here to find an old friend."    

"Old friend? Sigh, listen to my advice. This era is not peaceful, protecting oneself is the most important thing. Your old friend is probably too busy to take care of himself now. Even if you find him, you won't be able to do anything."    

The old man still advised Lu Yu not to take the risk.    

In this spaceship, other than a small portion of the old man's family, the rest were all his neighbors and relatives. The old man did not choose to escape by himself, but instead took away all of them. According to the new laws of the government, once they were discovered to be fleeing, the neighbors nearby would also be implicated.    

Lu Yu could tell that the old man was kind-hearted and did not have any malicious intentions, so he thanked him and prepared to leave.    

But at this moment, the spaceship suddenly began to shake violently.    

Accompanied by a loud bang, the deck seemed to have been pierced by a huge iron anchor. Immediately after, a loud voice came from afar:    

“The spaceships ahead, stop immediately!”    

This furious roar was like a thunderclap, resounding in the hearts of everyone.    

Many people turned pale from fright, and some children could not withstand such a terrifying atmosphere, and immediately started wailing.    

“It’s over! It’s the officials!”    

“We’re all going to die!”    

Everyone’s faces were filled with despair.    

If they were caught by the officials, the outcome would be quite miserable, even worse than dying in the mines.    

“Sigh —— You all don’t need to go out, this old man will negotiate with them!” The old man bent his body, and with a long sigh, he slowly stood up and walked out.    

At this moment, in the starry sky.    

A massive warship was impressively standing in front of the spaceship.    

Compared to this enormous thing, the spaceship was simply like a toy, unremarkable.    

On the warship, battle flags were everywhere, fluttering in the wind, and many soldiers were also wearing bright armor, with a murderous aura.    

A group of soldiers rushed down from the warship, and immediately surrounded the old man.    

“Good! Good! Good! The governor just gave an order, the Zi Wei Galaxy is under martial law, and no one is allowed to leave the planet at will, otherwise, they will be punished according to treason! I didn’t think that you all would still dare to escape, do you want to die?”    

The leading general’s eyes could not help but shine when he saw the people on the spaceship, and he revealed a cold smile.    

The old man did not dare to be negligent, and immediately stepped forward: "Marshal, I am the manager of the Martial Star's Feiyang Chamber of Commerce. These are all slaves that have been sold to the outside world. Please be magnanimous and let us go."    

He trembled as he took out a thick stack of silver notes from the storage bag and placed it in the general's hand.    

The general shook the silver notes in his hand. When he felt the thickness of the notes, he could not help but reveal a mocking smile.    

"So your Feiyang Chamber of Commerce is so rich. It seems that you didn't know how to hide your wealth. This is a serious crime of deceit and treason. You should be confiscated!"    

The general's eyes were filled with greed.    

He sized up the spaceship in front of him and waved his hand: "Somebody, kill all the people here. Take the spaceship away and confiscate it!"    

In his opinion, there must be a shocking amount of wealth hidden on this spaceship.    

The old man immediately said anxiously, "I really don't have any money. There are people on this ship!"    

"Get lost!"    

The general had already lost his patience. He raised his hand and slapped the old man's face.    

This slap was so fierce that it actually produced a sound of breaking through the air as it slapped towards the old man's face.    

"Pah!"    

However, before the slap landed on the old man's face.    

Lu Yu suddenly attacked from the side and knocked the general to the ground in advance.    

Everyone was shocked and looked at Lu Yu.    

Lu Yu stood in front of everyone and looked at the soldiers with a calm expression.    

"You must have long since joined the soldiers of Penglai. Who is the current emperor of the Great Tang?"    

The old man hurriedly pulled Lu Yu's clothes and said loudly, "Brother, you have caused a huge disaster. Hurry up and run!"    

"Run? Don't even think about leaving!"    

The general crawled up from the ground with a ferocious expression. Half of his face had already turned red.    

His heart was already completely occupied by anger. Normally, he would be able to get whatever he wanted. No matter who it was, they would all be respectful to him. No one had ever treated him like this.    

"Are you deaf? I asked you who the current emperor of the Great Tang is."    

Lu Yu said indifferently, not putting the general in his eyes at all.    

When he said this, the surroundings fell silent. Even the people in the cabin were stunned.    

Was he crazy? He actually dared to challenge the officials.    

From the cabin came a burst of crying, as if he had already thought of the hopeless future.    

Many people felt incomparably desperate. Many scenes of torture appeared in their minds. These soldiers in front of them were existences that they could not afford to offend. They were even more cruel and brutal than some space pirates. If they were to offend them, they would definitely not have a good ending.    

"Kill him! No, break his legs first and slowly play with him to death!" The general roared.    

In an instant, the surrounding soldiers roared in unison. They all pulled out their weapons and charged towards Lu Yu.    

Although these people were only ruffians, they had all been selected and had astonishing strength. At the same time, they attacked, instantly unleashing a monstrous killing intent that enveloped Lu Yu.    

In the surrounding air, waves of terrifying whistling sounds could be heard. Accompanied by sinister faces, terrifying attacks immediately descended.    

Everyone was shocked and did not know what to do.    

Some children even closed their eyes, not wanting to see Lu Yu's miserable state.    

Just as everyone thought that Lu Yu was going to be in trouble, Lu Yu suddenly stepped into the air and a powerful force swept in all directions.    

Puff! Puff! Puff!    

A series of muffled sounds suddenly rang out.    

The soldiers who were charging towards Lu Yu did not even touch Lu Yu's body before their weapons were shattered!    

Blood mist filled the air. Under everyone's astonished gaze, Lu Yu kicked out and broke the general's legs.    

After that, Lu Yu grabbed the general's neck and said coldly, "Speak."    

"The current emperor is, is, is... the former Heavenly Fate Young Lord, King Li Ming." The general was in extreme pain and his face was pale.    

Crack!    

Lu Yu directly twisted the general's neck.    

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?”
