Peerless Taoist

Although the old man had white hair and beard, his eyes were shining brightly. He was tall and sturdy, and it was impossible to tell that he was already old. Just by sitting there, he released an incomparable pressure, causing the space around him to distort.    

Beside the old man stood a few female cultivators, who were also beautiful and graceful. They held fans and plates in their hands, and they stood respectfully on both sides.    

Not only that, there were also twelve Great Elders of the Ling-Bao Sect sitting in the hall. Their clothes were also embroidered with the symbol of the Su Family.    

Their expressions were also serious and gloomy, and their cultivation level was not something that ordinary Great Elders could compare with. They were actually at the level of the Eternal King.    

Such Great Elders usually would not be in charge of the Immortal Peak, but would choose a place to cultivate in seclusion and comprehend the Great Dao, pursuing a higher realm.    

Who would have thought that the Su Family would send out so many experts to deal with Lu Yu?    

"The Su Family must have already known that I have obtained the Battle Ancestor's inheritance, so they actually sent a Venerable to deal with me." Lu Yu's gaze instantly became ice-cold.    

Now, the entire Supreme Purity Heaven was in a fierce battle with the Demon Race. As the main force of defense, the Su Family should be doing their best.    

However, they had left all of their precious combat strength on Lu Yu. It could be seen that they did not care about the situation on the frontline at all. They did not care about whether the demons had broken through the defense line because of their departure.    

"That's good. I just happen to need a Supremacy to prove my strength to the Great Pangu Axe. You came at the right time." Lu Yu muttered.    

After a while, a melodious chanting of scriptures suddenly came from the hall.    

This voice seemed to be able to calm a person's mind. As the voice passed, the chaotic sounds on the square immediately disappeared.    

At this moment, a young man suddenly walked out of the hall. He was wearing the Taoist robe of the Spirit Treasure Sect. A hint of arrogance flashed across his face.    

The young man swept his gaze around and said in a clear voice, "Everyone, I am the Dao Disciple of the Spirit Treasure Sect, Su Gaoyuan. The Fifth Patriarch is my grandfather, and my father is the Peak Master of the Reverence Peak. Today, I will host the banquet."    

This Su Gaoyuan did not seem very old, but his voice was loud and clear as it reverberated in the nine heavens. It had a kind of dignity that could not be questioned.    

"That's strange. Why didn't the Fifth Patriarch personally come to host this banquet?"    

"What do you and I count as? How can we be worthy of the Supremacy of the Spirit Treasure Sect personally summoning us? Being able to make the Young Master of the Su Family appear is already giving us enough face."    

The surrounding people started to discuss among themselves, but they quickly calmed down.    

Most of the people who had come here were people who had no choice but to join Great Qin. Some of them were just opportunists, and their strength was not that great. As such, the Su family did not attach too much importance to them.    

The reason the Su family had chosen this group of people was because they wanted to take over the Great Qin Dynasty, and they needed some chess pieces to watch over it.    

“Everyone, you should all know that the Bedlam Lands were originally part of the Spirit Treasure Sect’s territory. However, because of the sect’s internal adjustments, the Great Qin Dynasty found an opening and actually took over the Bedlam Lands. This is simply unreasonable.”    

Su Gaoyuan said calmly, “I’m very happy that everyone has made the right choice and decided to betray the darkness for the light. This place should be controlled by the Spirit Treasure Sect, and not by a Cultivation Dynasty.”    

The crowd was in an uproar. No one had expected that the Su family would be so straightforward and directly oppose Great Qin.    

If it had been in the past, the Su family would not have wanted such a place.    

However, now that the Bedlam Lands were under Great Qin’s rule, it had already bloomed with vitality and become a rich and prosperous place.    

This was especially so because of the Fate, which was now shrouded by the Great Qin Dynasty’s Fate. Not only did the human race have to give birth to intelligence, but the demon race also had to give birth to intelligence. There were also many places that had spiritual Qi, and many rare treasures appeared.    

This piece of land naturally attracted the attention of the Su Family. Not only did they want to take away the Battle Ancestor Inheritance in Lu Yu's hands, but they also wanted to take over this piece of land!    

"Young Master Su, I heard that the Great Qin Emperor has returned. I wonder if you have any chance of winning?" A powerful warrior from the sect stood out.    

This was a Holy Lord of a Holy Land. Although he was a member of the martial world, he had relied on his own strength and luck to break through to the Eternity King Realm. In the martial world, he had a very high reputation and status.    

Su Gaoyuan smiled faintly. "That Lu Yu is also a disciple of my Ling-Bao Sect. My sect sent him to search for the treasure and inheritance. After he obtained the inheritance, he actually dared to hide."    

After a pause, Su Gaoyuan said coldly, "In the end, he is arrogant in your place. If he were to come to the Ling-Bao Sect, he would be nothing more than a rat on the street, struggling to survive. You regard him as a god, but in the eyes of our Su Family, is he not a pitiful ant?"    

"The Su Family is indeed a wealthy family of the Ling-Bao Sect. We naturally believe in your strength. However, the Great Qin Dynasty is not weak either. They also have countless experts. It is not an easy task to suppress them in one fell swoop."    

The Holy Lord seemed to be extremely rational as he spoke.    

Many of the experts present nodded silently. Although they also had thoughts of rebelling against the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Qin Dynasty was like a colossal monster that pressed down on everyone's head.    

It was precisely because the Great Qin Empire had enough strength to suppress all the heroes that these people did not dare to act rashly.    

Now that these people knew that the Su Family was going to deal with the Great Qin Empire, although they were secretly happy, they still felt a little uneasy.    

"Look at yourselves, afraid to become like this. You are indeed just a group of small fries."    

A hint of disdain flashed in Su Gao Yuan's eyes as he waved his hand to the side.    

A Great Elder who was sitting outside the hall suddenly stood up. Streaks of purple lightning appeared around him, and he walked forward step by step. His gait was majestic, and there was a faint heavenly might.    

The Great Elder still had a goatee, and his eyes were sinister. He said with a cold smile, "I, Su Zhenlei, have long heard of this Lu Yu. He did not submit to the sect's teachings and had long had a different mind. We came here to follow the Venerable One Hall's instructions and to eradicate this disaster this morning."    

As the Great Elder spoke, his voice seemed to ring like thunder. Many people felt their ears buzzing, and they could not help but feel fear towards Su Zhenlei.    

This was an indication of his strength. The Great Elders who could appear here were not ordinary people. They had descended here for Lu Yu.
