Peerless Taoist

Lu Yu looked at the vast scenery outside the carriage and understood where he was now.    

Looking out, a towering city wall stood between the heavens and the earth, like a tall giant that separated the two territories inside and outside the city wall.    

Immortal Qi filled the air, and multicolored light filled the sky. In the distance, there was a group of buildings standing on top of the clouds, as if Supreme Celestial Pavilion. It was exquisite beyond compare.    

As for below the clouds, there were endless mansions. These mansions were a bit ordinary, like ordinary civilians, and were where the war slaves lived. They were called the "War Slave Camp".    

Looking from afar, the area where the War Slave Camp was located was like a foundation that supported the lofty palaces and pavilions of the celestial palace.    

"Squeak! Squeak!"    

The carriage streaked across the rough ground, and the impatient voices of the Wu family disciples came from outside, "Get off quickly!"    

The group of war slaves in the carriage immediately did not dare to delay and hurriedly got off. Guo Chen raised his hand and waved it a few times before he got into the carriage. The war slave who had fallen unconscious did not expect that after a few wags, Guo Chen's face immediately turned pale.    

"He is dead."    

Guo Chen sighed and shook his head.    

Although he was young, he had seen too many deaths in the War Slave Camp. Death was the norm.    

Many people had actually expected this. From the moment that person got into the carriage, he was already at the end of his tether and could no longer support himself.    

"Take this person down first. If we keep his corpse on the carriage, we will suffer a punishment." Guo Chen said.    

Lu Yu and Guo Chen worked together to pull the corpse down from the carriage. Just as they were about to drag him onto the ground, the Martial Family disciple in charge of driving the carriage frowned.    

"There's actually another person who died in the carriage!"    

The Martial Family disciple swept his gaze over the dozen or so people who survived and reached into his pocket to take out a few porcelain bottles. He casually threw them over.    

"According to the rules, these are the Body Strengthening Pills that I have rewarded you. Cultivate well. If you can survive, you might become a warrior of the Martial Family and be free from the sea of suffering." The Martial Family disciple casually said a few words and directly left everyone behind. He drove the carriage and left.    

After the carriage had gone far away, Guo Chen snorted coldly and said, "We had agreed before that if we could survive, each of us would be rewarded with at least three bottles of Body Strengthening Pills. The extra ones must have been taken by these two bastards."    

Lu Yu weighed the porcelain bottle in his hand and felt that the number of pills inside should not be much.    

From Guo Chen's words, Lu Yu also understood that all of the Battle Slaves had their cultivation level sealed. The only thing that could be tempered was their physical strength.    

And if their physical strength was raised to a certain stage, they would be able to become warriors of the Martial Family. They would truly become the servants of the Martial Family and their status would rise by a level. At the same time, they would no longer need to stay in the Battle Slave Camp and be watched over like prisoners.    

However, the probability of being able to advance was quite slim. It was likely that only one out of a thousand people would be able to advance successfully.    

Many people had suffered a painful torture in the Battle Slave Camp, and in the end, they had all died without a sound.    

"This is giving these Battle Slaves a little hope, so that they won't be in despair or rebel. What a good method." Lu Yu thought to himself.    

At this moment, the gate of the Battle Slave Camp in the distance was suddenly pushed open.    

The surrounding buildings of the Battle Slave Camp were surrounded by high walls. There were also many wooden spikes on the walls, which were extremely sharp, in order to prevent the Battle Slaves from secretly escaping.    

At the center of the wall was a tall iron gate, guarded by guards who were patrolling day and night to guard against any sudden situations.    

At this moment, the gate suddenly opened, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.    

Immediately after, they saw an old man with a plump body and dressed like a rich man, playing with a jade pendant in his hand as he swaggered out.    

Behind the old man were six Battle Slaves, all of whom were tall and strong.    

"Greetings, Lord Manager."    

When the surviving Battle Slaves saw the old man, they immediately revealed expressions of fear and trepidation as they hurriedly bowed.    

The old man nodded, his gaze sweeping across the few of them. Suddenly, his gaze landed on Lu Yu's face and sized him up.    

Lu Yu could clearly feel that there was a sense of scrutiny in the old man's eyes. This was not looking at his bone structure. After all, the original owner of this body was just an ordinary person, and there was nothing outstanding about him.    

This kind of scrutiny was more like a kind of examination of Lu Yu's appearance.    

"What's your name?" The old man asked.    

Before Lu Yu could answer, Guo Chen, who was beside him, quickly replied, "His name is Lu Qin, a newcomer."    

"I didn't ask you a question. Why are you interrupting? Get lost!" At this moment, a Battle Slave behind the old man suddenly berated him coldly.    

This Battle Slave was tall and strong. His shout was like a thunderclap, giving people a strong sense of oppression.    

Guo Chen's expression changed several times, and he immediately ran away in a hurry.    

"Lu Qin? Hehe, since you're a newcomer, then give me some respect. Hand over the Body Strengthening Pill on you and then get lost," the old man said leisurely.    

Lu Yu frowned. He did not know the old man, but the old man was obviously targeting him.    

After a moment, Lu Yu suddenly thought of something and said, "What if I don't hand it over?"    

"If I tell you to hand it over, then you will hand it over. Why are there so much nonsense!"    

Suddenly, the Battle Slave beside the old man immediately exploded. He stretched out his muscular arms and grabbed at Lu Yu.    

This person should have mastered some martial arts. He raised his hand and actually brought out a sharp wind. He instantly pounced over at an extremely fast speed.    

"Humph!"    

Although the body that Lu Yu was trapped in was not strong enough, Lu Yu had a lot of experience.    

If the others were to be roared by such a loud voice, they would probably be stunned on the spot and unable to move. However, Lu Yu would not be like that.    

At this critical moment, Lu Yu suddenly dodged and pointed at the person's arm.    

The Combat Slave that had just attacked suddenly felt his arm go numb. Then, Lu Yu turned his body sideways and knocked him down.    

At the same time, Lu Yu immediately raised his arm to block the fist that was coming from the other side.    

"Bam!"    

Lu Yu immediately retreated a few steps back. He was forced back by a punch and his expression was somewhat ugly.    

This body was not his real body in the end.    

Although his combat experience was still there, the other Combat Slaves were not the mortals that Lu Yu had encountered when he was reborn. They were all cultivators who had experienced many battles.    

In addition, Lu Yu was still injured, so he naturally could not withstand such an attack.    

"A new slave dares to attack me. I think you must be tired of living!"    

The other Combat Slaves were immediately enraged. Their eyes were filled with a sharp killing intent.
