Peerless Taoist

Not only that, Lu Yu also saw that the parade that came to send her off had fallen into a coma and was lying on the ground unconscious.    

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."    

The Head Severing Blade floated beside Lu Yu, and the phantom of the Slaughtering Demon King appeared from above.    

Li Mengshu said with some fear, "You are a Demonic Cultivator?"    

She could feel the thick killing intent from the Head Severing Blade. She did not know how many lives had died under this blade.    

Lu Yu shook his head and let the Head Severing Blade return to the Origin World.    

This blade had drunk a lot of blood, and the blade was covered with strange blood traces, making it look extremely enchanting.    

To the Head Severing Blade, killing was the best nourishment. It needed to rest and digest all of the killing energy.    

Li Mengshu resisted the curiosity in her heart and did not ask.    

She could tell that Lu Yu's strength was not ordinary. He was clearly a peerless expert.    

Under the majestic palace walls, there were only two people walking. There were palace maids and eunuchs passing by, but they fell into a coma before they could make a sound.    

Lu Yu's soul power was boundless powerful. It could hypnotize people with weak souls and even control their thoughts and actions. These eunuchs and palace maids were not strong, so they were unable to resist Lu Yu's soul attack and immediately fell into a coma.    

The two of them went straight to the Clear Nourishment Hall without any obstruction.    

This was once the side hall used by Emperor Li to deal with government affairs.    

At this moment, it was filled with ministers, and everyone's faces were filled with joy.    

Opposite the ministers sat a group of people dressed in bright yellow clothes, wearing gold and jade, extremely noble. There were both men and women, old and young, sitting on chairs, showing off their noble statuses.    

These people were members of the imperial family.    

After Penglai occupied the entire Tang Territory, not all the members of the imperial family were killed.    

Among them, some members of the Li Tang imperial family quickly reacted and immediately surrendered to Penglai. They also turned their spears and pointed at their own relatives.    

After Emperor Li's death, many members of the Li Tang imperial family were extremely sad and wanted to fight to the death with Penglai.    

However, these people would never have thought that they would be backstabbed. The other members of the imperial family pulled these people into a pit of fire.    

Many of the members of the imperial family who were fighting back were either poisoned or arrested and secretly executed. By the time Penglai arrived at the Divine Capital, the gates of the Divine Capital had already been opened, and countless members of the imperial family who had surrendered were already waiting outside, respectfully welcoming them.    

Although these members of the imperial family were cursed and despised by many people behind their backs, it did not stop them from obtaining a transcendent status. Many people were placed in the puppet court, and they were put in important positions. They even obtained the Cultivation Methods of Penglai.    

On the dragon throne in the center of the palace sat a young man.    

He wore a dragon robe and had an arrogant expression on his face. He was none other than the current puppet emperor, Li Ming.    

Back then, when he was on Planet East Victory, Li Ming had participated in the Great Yu's war as the young master of the Heavenly Policy Manor.    

Unfortunately, he had been defeated by Lu Yu, and had suffered a few injuries. He had left in a sorry state.    

After returning to the Great Tang, Li Ming's status had plummeted. Not only had he been stripped of his previous rewards, but he had also been ridiculed in the Heavenly Policy Manor.    

The resentment in Li Ming's heart grew stronger and stronger.    

Fortunately, Penglai's appearance had given him a chance. Li Ming did not hesitate to curry favor with one of Penglai's young masters. He worked with him to kill many of the princes of the Li Tang Dynasty.    

After that, he secretly plotted to have many loyal ministers of the Li Tang Dynasty step into the encirclement and then be killed.    

Because of his meritorious service, Li Ming was able to smoothly ascend to the throne of the emperor after Li Dun's death.    

In order to consolidate his position, he did not hesitate to sell the interests of the Tang Dynasty. He offered many of his properties and the treasures left behind by the Li Tang royal family to the Penglai young master.    

It was because of this that Li Ming could sit on the high platform.    

After all, Penglai also needed an agent to help them manage the empire.    

"I heard that the Penglai Heavenly Court has ordered another ten million slaves and ten million Demonic Beasts."    

"Didn't they send them over a few days ago?"    

"You don't know, but the Heavenly Court has been using them a lot. When these people are sent over, more than half of them will die on the way. We just need to continue gathering manpower to capture them."    

The officials of the puppet court began to chat, and their words were all about the missions that Penglai had given them.    

These missions were the death knell of these officials.    

If they could not complete them, they would be demoted, and even their entire family might be captured, and they themselves would become slaves.    

In order to complete the missions that Penglai had given them, these officials could do anything. No matter what method they used, they would use it.    

The policies to pacify the people, the achievements in politics, and everything else was useless. All of it was for the sake of completing the missions that Penglai had given them.    

Just as everyone was discussing, a spirit talisman suddenly flew into the hall.    

The voices of everyone immediately became much quieter. Countless people looked at the spirit talisman and their eyebrows trembled slightly.    

They all saw the mark on the spirit talisman clearly.    

This was a spirit talisman that Penglai Heavenly Court had given to them. It was specifically used to transmit messages with the Tang Clan.    

Li Ming immediately grabbed the spirit talisman and slowly unfolded it in his hand. After a brief examination, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.    

"A few days ago, Young Master Wang Jiangliu's cultivation had greatly increased, and he has already been granted the position of the Eastern Palace by the Black Emperor!" Li Ming was overjoyed.    

The other people in the hall also stood up and said in surprise, “Is this true?”    

“Of course it’s true!”    

Li Ming flicked his finger, and the talisman instantly fell into the hands of everyone present.    

On the talisman was written the recent happenings in Penglai.    

For a moment, everyone present was overjoyed, and their faces were filled with smiles.    

“Wonderful! Wonderful! Young Lord Wang has achieved great success in his cultivation. In the future, he will definitely inherit the throne of Penglai and rule over the world. Controlling the Heavenly Realm is the wisest choice we can make!”    

“His Majesty’s foresight is so good! He chose Young Lord Wang so early on. Compared to the other young lords of Penglai, Wang Jiangliu is the most excellent candidate in terms of both talent and strength!”    

Everyone was filled with emotion.    

They could be said to have been tied together with Li Ming since a long time ago. It could be said that whatever decision Li Ming made would affect their future prosperity and wealth.    

Fortunately, Li Ming had made the right choice!    

Wang Jiangliu had lived up to everyone’s expectations. He had distinguished himself from the many young lords and entered the East Palace of the Heavenly Court of Penglai.    

This was the symbol of the future successor of Penglai. Li Ming choosing Wang Jiangliu as his background would make his position extremely stable.
