Peerless Taoist

Li Mengshu was extremely nervous. She immediately picked up a hairpin from the dressing table and held it in her hand.    

In order to prevent her from escaping, Li Ming had already sent people to seal up all of her magic power. Now, this hairpin could only barely be considered a weapon of self-defense.    

"Don't be nervous. I am indeed here to help you." Lu Yu's expression was gentle, and it was impossible to tell that he had just experienced a massacre.    

The palace maids seemed to have been frozen in place. Their eyes did not even move, and they were stiff on the spot.    

Lu Yu raised his hand and pointed, causing the palace maids to faint on the ground.    

Li Mengshu said nervously, "I don't need anyone else to help me. There is no movement here, and the people outside will notice very soon. You should leave quickly."    

"You are the princess of the Great Tang, a member of the royal family. How can you be married to Penglai and become a concubine?"    

Lu Yu shook his head and said indifferently, "You only need to ask if you are willing to marry that Wang Jiangliu. If you are not willing, I will immediately go out and kill him."    

As he spoke, a piercing killing intent burst out from Lu Yu's body.    

This killing intent was extremely cold, as if it was an Asura crawling out of hell, wanting to kill everyone in this world.    

Li Mengshu's face turned pale. She could feel a piercing killing intent from Lu Yu.    

However, very quickly, Li Mengshu seemed to have thought of something. She stared at Lu Yu and said, "Are you from the Tian Ci Palace?"    

After Emperor Li's death, many people had betrayed the Tang Dynasty royal family and joined Penglai's subordinates.    

Some people who were unwilling to surrender quietly moved into the dark. Most of them were the experts of the Heavenly Strategies Palace.    

Back then, the majority of the Heavenly Strategies Palace under Li Mengshu's control had chosen loyal and reliable experts. Now, as the saying goes, the wind knows the grass. They were indeed more reliable.    

"Hurry up and leave. If you don't leave now, it will be too late. No one forced me to my wedding. It was completely my will!"    

Li Mengshu hurriedly tried to persuade him.    

She saw that Lu Yu was so young and immediately determined that Lu Yu should be a young expert of the Heavenly Strategies Palace.    

These young experts were impatient and anxious in doing things. Now, they actually dared to pass through layers of encirclement and come to the depths of the palace. This was enough to prove this point.    

However, this was also quite dangerous. It was very easy to lose one's life.    

Li Mengshu did not want such a young expert to lose his life because of her.    

"Is it because they threatened your family?"    

Seeing Li Mengshu's attitude, Lu Yu immediately guessed the reason.    

Especially when he saw her unreliable appearance, Lu Yu was even more certain of his guess.    

Lu Yu shook his head. "If you are really willing, why did they send so many troops to surround this small room? Isn't it because they are worried that you will escape?"    

"And I don't care who Wang Jiangliu is. I only know that you are a dignified princess of the Great Tang. You actually want to marry someone else as a concubine. Moreover, the magic power in your body has been sealed. If they really want you to marry, why would they treat you like this?"    

Li Mengshu's breathing became hurried, and her expression was extremely ugly.    

She was indeed not willing, but was forced to do so.    

However, Li Mengshu had no other choice. After all, her family was still being controlled by the other party.    

The current puppet court was almost completely devoted to fawning on Penglai. As for her, she was just a tool used for the marriage alliance. No one would care about her feelings.    

"You don't understand. They are powerful!"    

Li Mengshu shook her head and sighed, "I appreciate your good intentions. It's just that you have no use here. Penglai is here, and there are experts overseeing this place. Before he finds out about you, you should leave quickly. I can't involve innocent people in this."    

"Penglai's experts?" Lu Yu sneered, "I came here for them this time."    

Just as the two of them were talking, the door was suddenly pushed open.    

A eunuch barged in and questioned sternly, "Why are you so slow? If you miss the hour, you..."    

Before he could finish his words, he immediately saw the situation in the boudoir.    

For some reason, the two palace maids fell unconscious on the ground, and there was a man in the boudoir.    

"Not good, someone has barged in!" The eunuch was slightly stunned and immediately screamed.    

Then, he turned around and ran outside without any hesitation.    

Li Mengshu immediately became anxious and hurriedly said, "Quickly leave. He must have found out about your existence now. He will definitely report it to the experts overseeing the palace. If he finds out, you will be finished."    

She pushed open the door and turned around to look at Lu Yu. "The Imperial Army is outside. If you leave from here, you might have a chance to live."    

But when she turned around, Li Mengshu's eyes widened.    

Lu Yu waved his hand, and the sword energy flew out from his sleeve and pierced through the eunuch's head.    

The eunuch's corpse fell to the ground and made a dull sound.    

This sound immediately alarmed the rebel army guarding outside. The rebel army broke through the door and rushed in through the boudoir.    

"Who dares to barge into the Imperial Palace!"    

"Assassin, kill this person quickly!"    

All the rebel soldiers shouted with fierce expressions.    

They were sent here to ensure that nothing would go wrong. If something really went wrong, they would be held accountable.    

"Humph!" Lu Yu snorted coldly. The Severing Head Blade turned into a black shadow and ruthlessly slashed forward.    

Soon, miserable screams came from all around.    

Lu Yu gave the Severing Head Blade the order to kill all the Imperial Army guards outside. The Severing Head Blade immediately let out an excited roar and immediately flew out to slaughter.    

"What are you doing? Hurry up and leave!" Li Mengshu was extremely anxious.    

This young man in front of her did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. He actually chose to cause trouble in the Imperial Palace.    

Did he not know that there were a large number of Penglai experts hidden in the Imperial Palace?    

When she thought about how terrifying those Penglai experts were, Li Mengshu felt suffocated. In front of those experts, she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. She had no room to fight back.    

This was also the reason why some of the experts of the Heavenly Fate Palace who were hiding in the dark did not dare to go to the Imperial Palace.    

"It's fine. Since they've come, I'll kill them as well."    

Lu Yu said, "Let's go. I'll bring you to seek justice for the Li Tang royal family."    

Li Mengshu was still in a state of shock. She followed Lu Yu with her doubts and walked out of the room. Immediately, she saw the corpses all over the ground.    

As the princess of Li Tang, she had undergone strict training since she was young. She was not scared by the bloody scene in front of her.    

However, the more she walked out, the more frightened she became.    

Outside the room, there were eight hundred Imperial Guards guarding it. It could be said that they were extremely tight and strict.    

However, all of these eight hundred Imperial Guards had turned into corpses, lying on the ground. Many of them had become headless corpses.
