Peerless Taoist

She was still as beautiful as ever, and she was extremely shrewd and calm in her actions. With the help of the dragon robe, she looked even more majestic.    

Lu Yu could tell with just a glance that Shen Linglong had already reached the eighth level of Heavenly State, the Tribulation Passing Realm!    

However, although they were both in the Tribulation Passing Realm, Shen Linglong's cultivation level was clearly higher. The fate of the tribulation behind her had already shown signs of the Dao of Life and Death. This meant that Shen Linglong would be able to make another breakthrough and break through to the ninth level of Heavenly State.    

Shen Linglong still maintained her previous attitude, looking down on him and ordering him around as if she was blaming Lu Yu for provoking her.    

"As expected, it's still the same Shen Linglong from before. First, she questioned my mind and made me angry, which then destroyed my Dao heart!"    

In this life, Lu Yu had seen too much and had undergone a tremendous change in his previous life.    

If it were the Lu Yu from his previous life, he would have been furious and would have fought with Lu Yu to the death.    

But the current Lu Yu was meticulous. He carefully thought about it and immediately realized that Shen Linglong was trying to ruin his state of mind and threaten him.    

"That's right. I have killed the nine guardians consecutively and Xu Jiangshan. I have shattered Yuan Ming's shadow and I have consumed a lot of my energy. If I am angered by her and fight with her recklessly, I'm afraid that I will use up all my remaining mana!"    

Thinking of this, Lu Yu could not help but be secretly shocked.    

Sure enough, this was the real Shen Linglong.    

Although it seemed like a casual sentence, it was filled with killing intent, making it impossible to defend against.    

"Your Majesty, this matter started because of me. Please do not make things difficult for Lu Yu."    

Shangguan Waner walked forward and begged.    

Lu Yu had helped her kill Xu Jiangshan and helped her get rid of the troublesome marriage. Shangguan Waner naturally felt relaxed. However, Shangguan Waner also realized that Lu Yu had been in a series of fierce battles, and he had consumed a lot of energy. He was clearly in an extremely dangerous situation.    

"Are you also starting to speak up for outsiders now?" Shen Linglong frowned, and her eyes were filled with endless pressure.    

Lu Yu snorted and took a step forward, helping Shangguan Waner to block most of the pressure.    

He looked at Shangguan Waner and said, "This is between me and her. Don't interfere."    

"Alas..."    

Shangguan Waner let out a long sigh, and a deep regret flashed across her eyes. In the end, she let out a long sigh and retreated to the side.    

On one side was Shen Linglong, who was extremely grateful to her, and on the other side was Lu Yu, who had saved her. Shangguan Waner knew very well that the conflict between the two of them could no longer be mediated.    

Especially Shen Linglong's words, 'If the Qin is destroyed, then Chu will be the victor.' It had long caused the two dynasties to completely lose all decorum. There was no room for negotiation.    

In the entire Heaven Realm, there could only be one dynasty!    

Suddenly, Shangguan Wan'er remembered that Shen Linglong had mentioned the word 'Profound' before.    

As Shen Linglong's former confidant, Shangguan Wan'er naturally knew what Profound meant. She looked at Lu Yu with a look of disbelief.    

"Shen Linglong, you're still the same as before. You haven't progressed at all. Even if you obtained your current realm, you relied on schemes and plots to achieve it. You didn't even dare to face me, but waited for Xu Jiangshan to exhaust me first before you appeared."    

Lu Yu looked at Shen Linglong with a teasing look in his eyes. "You're not like an emperor, but like a rat."    

Everyone could not help but take a deep breath.    

In this Chu Realm, Shen Linglong was the only ruler. Even someone as arrogant as Xu Jiangshan did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of Shen Linglong.    

Who would have thought that Lu Yu did not have any qualms at all and scolded Shen Linglong without mercy.    

"So, you really don't want to leave me a way out?" Shen Linglong shook her head and looked at Lu Yu with pity. "It's not easy for you to cultivate to your current level after living for a second life. I only gave you a chance to live because we were old friends."    

"Profound, it seems that you had some fortuitous encounters to grow to your current level. But do you know that you're still like an ant in front of the true geniuses of the universe?"    

The moment he said that, the surrounding crowd burst into an uproar.    

"Xuanming? Isn't that the Netherworld Daolord from the past? Everyone knows that the Netherworld Daolord was stabbed by Shen Linglong. Why would she bring up the matter again? Could it be..."    

Many of the people present were experts who had migrated to the Chu Realm from the Heaven Realm.    

They were naturally well aware of what had happened in the past.    

When they heard Shen Linglong's words, they suddenly thought of a possibility. All of them looked at Lu Yu in shock.    

"The Qin Emperor, Lu Yu, is actually the Netherworld Daolord!"    

"No wonder! No wonder the Qin Emperor was able to easily subdue the Netherworld Realm. That was something that not even the Emperors of the ancient era had been able to accomplish. However, he was able to easily suppress the Netherworld Realm. Furthermore, the Netherworld Realm's Nether God was actually conferred the title of number one on the Divine List by Great Qin. So that's the reason!"    

Many people were shocked.    

The Netherworld Daolord was an expert who had shocked an entire generation. He had left everyone with an extremely deep impression. No one had expected that Lu Yu would have such a level of identity.    

"It seems like the conflict between the two of them is impossible to mediate." Many people looked at Lu Yu and Shen Linglong.    

There was simply a deep-seated hatred between the two of them. Unless one of them died, it was impossible to settle the matter.    

"Shen Linglong, in fact, aren't you just an ant who is looking down on the world from the top of a well?" Lu Yu smiled faintly. "What you rely on is nothing more than the Eternal Night Realm. However, you have also seen that their Eternal Night Realm's forces have been continuously destroyed by me. What else do you have to boast about in front of me?"    

After saying that, Lu Yu's gaze was like a torch as he stared at Shen Linglong. "The Tai Hua Scripture is on you, right? This scripture betrayed me in the past and helped the traitors to kill me. Today, I will accompany you in death!"    

A ball of purple Qi suddenly appeared around Shen Linglong's body, and a purple scripture suddenly floated in the air.    

"Lu Yu, you should surrender early. You are not a match for Shen Linglong." The Tai Hua Scripture still had the same profound and old-fashioned attitude. "You are not a match for Shen Linglong. The gap between you and her is too great. Only by handing the Realm of Heaven to Shen Linglong can it truly flourish."    

Lu Yu laughed coldly. "Ridiculous. Could it be that handing the Realm of Heaven to Yongye Tian is considered to be true prosperity?"    

The Tai Hua Scripture laughed loudly and said, "Looks like you don't know anything. The Myriad Realms have already undergone a drastic change. If you don't have a sufficient backer, no matter what place it is, it will become a scorched earth."    

"Do you think that killing a few Heavenly Realm's minor characters can change anything? You are wrong. Actually, you haven't changed anything..."    

The Tai Hua Scripture was about to continue speaking, but it was interrupted by Shen Linglong.    

"Lu Yu, I will give you one last chance. Surrender to me, and I can give you a position of Prime Minister."    

Shen Linglong looked at Lu Yu. Her white face was filled with pride, and her cold voice came over:    

“Otherwise, I’ll beat you to death, and you won’t have a second chance to be reborn.”
