Peerless Taoist

In an instant, the pressure that was covering the city wall was dispersed.    

The Emperor turned around and looked at King Chu. He felt relieved and said, "King Chu, you are finally here."    

Within the soaring flames, Situ Wu's eyes narrowed as he swept his gaze over the city wall, as if he was searching for where King Chu was.    

"King Chu is here!"    

"Is that the newly appointed King Chu? I heard that the Situ Family came for him."    

"He must be an extremely powerful expert to be able to kill the Situ Family Master. I would like to see what this expert of the Imperial Family looks like!"    

Ye Ling also looked around.    

In her heart, she was even more anxious than the others.    

If the Situ Family was spread well, then those who could kill the Situ Family Master must be experts of the same level.    

The strongest person in the Ye Family was the Emperor. If there was another expert, then the Ye Family would be safer.    

Suddenly, Ye Ling's eyes fell on a person.    

That person was standing next to a group of soldiers. His eyes were calm and did not look conspicuous at all.    

It was actually Lu Yu!    

Lu Yu hadn't changed into his tattered clothes yet. Standing among the soldiers, he seemed out of place.    

Ye Ling was anxious. While others were not paying attention, she quietly walked to Lu Yu's side and dragged him away.    

However, Lu Yu stood there like a tree. No matter how hard Ye Ling tried, she could not pull him away.    

"Are you stupid? Do you know where this place is? You still dare to come here!" Ye Ling said anxiously.    

This was a battlefield, and the Great Yue Dynasty army could give the order to attack at any time. Even cultivators might not be able to guarantee their survival, let alone mortals.    

Lu Yu did not answer her.    

Ye Ling thought that Lu Yu was scared silly. After all, facing such a majestic army, even cultivators would feel their hearts trembling.    

"Are you injured?" Lu Yu asked.    

The Emperor suddenly landed beside Lu Yu and said with a bitter smile, "I underestimated my enemy. I thought that King Chu's guidance would allow me to advance by leaps and bounds, but it was still difficult for me to fight four hands with two fists."    

Lu Yu said faintly, "Your talent is not bad. But because of the poison, it seemed like you had recovered, but in fact, it was not the case. In another half a year, he would fully recover, break, and rebuild. Perhaps you'll gain even more."    

The Emperor said gratefully, "Thank you, King Chu, for your guidance."    

The surrounding people were all stunned.    

The Emperor was talking to this ragged man in front of him?    

Furthermore, judging from this man's tone, could he be the King Chu who killed the Situ Family Master?    

Ye Ling's entire body trembled. She loosened her grip and took it away from Lu Yu's sleeve.    

"Aren't you a mortal? Just what are you..." Ye Ling's mind was blank and she did not know what to say.    

Lu Yu ignored Ye Ling.    

His gaze had always been focused on the Situ Family's three Grand Elders.    

"I didn't kill your Family Head. If you want to start a war, find a justifiable reason." Lu Yu said in a deep voice.    

A trace of vigilance flashed across Situ Wu's eyes. "That's right. Your appearance was drawn by Family Head before he died. You must be the murderer!"    

"Ridiculous. Family Head drew my portrait before he died, and you all think that I am the murderer. Could it be that if Family Head dared to draw a master of the Heaven Realm before he died, would your Situ Family dare to kill someone from the Heaven Realm?" Lu Yu shouted angrily.    

Situ Wu said with a cold smile, "You have a glib tongue. This old man will not argue with you. If I kill you, Family Head's revenge will definitely be avenged!"    

"Oh, then you should kill him for me to see." Lu Yu's voice came from behind Situ Wu.
