Peerless Taoist

Even though the rain had weakened a little due to the appearance of Tang Fengyi, it still did not stop.    

Lu Yu carried Shangguan Wan'er and strode out of the door in front of everyone's eyes.    

Countless gazes fell on Lu Yu, and the expressions on the faces of many people turned into panic.    

Everyone had witnessed the fierce battle between Lu Yu and Shen Linglong.    

The scene of destruction was still vivid in their minds. No one dared to make things difficult for Lu Yu at this moment.    

"Thank you for your trouble. Help me settle her down."    

Lu Yu looked at a woman in the crowd. This woman was from the Darchu Clan, and she was currently looking at Lu Yu with a face full of fear.    

Hearing Lu Yu's words, the woman hurriedly said, "Alright! Alright!"    

She was already scared out of her wits because of the panic. She did not dare to resist Lu Yu's orders. She quickly waved her hands behind her, and a few female servants immediately went up to take Shangguan Wan'er back.    

The Shangguan Clan's residence had already been reduced to a pile of ruins because of the battle just now, and so had the Imperial Palace.    

What Shangguan Wan'er needed the most right now was rest.    

Lu Yu was not worried that they would have any bad intentions towards Shangguan Wan'er. Lu Yu's wisp of divine sense was currently on Shangguan Wan'er's body.    

No matter what happened, he would know clearly.    

"Emperor Qin..."    

"I await your presence, Your Majesty..."    

The nobles and ministers of the Darchu Dynasty looked at Lu Yu with complicated expressions.    

However, in the end, they still knelt down. This time, it was not only because of Lu Yu's powerful strength, but also because of Lu Yu's kindness.    

Shen Linglong's arrogant voice still echoed in everyone's ears.    

Everyone knew that if it wasn't for Lu Yu's existence, they would have been like the other corpses on the ground, sacrificed by Shen Linglong.    

The Darchu Dynasty was just a chess piece in Shen Linglong's game.    

Now that they had woken up from their dreams, everyone looked at Lu Yu with complicated expressions.    

Waves of cold wind blew past, and rain fell on the ground. Many people were still unmoved despite the rain, willing to submit to Lu Yu willingly.    

"What is hatred? What is resentment? After so many years, all things have ceased to exist."    

Lu Yu saw many emotions in these people's eyes.    

The power of the royal family, the ambition to conquer the entire world, but what was the result in the end?    

They had once been glorious and had the ambition to annex the Heavenly Realm and unify the world.    

However, when everything was exposed, the Darchu Dynasty was just a dream. All their relatives and friends died one after another, and even the emperor they had once pledged loyalty to betrayed them. These people seemed to have extracted all their attention and became dejected.    

Lu Yu looked at the sky and suddenly sighed in his heart.    

"If I don't have enough strength, if I don't have the help of an expert like Tang Fengyi, I'm afraid that I would be like them, watching helplessly as the people around me die one by one, but I have no power to turn the situation around."    

These people could retire from the world and live like a carefree cloud or a wild crane.    

But Lu Yu could not.    

He had too many responsibilities on his shoulders. From the Netherworld Daolord, who had only wanted revenge, to the current Great Qin Emperor, who carried the fate of billions of lives, Lu Yu had already completed his transformation.    

Lu Yu would not be like Shen Linglong, who would directly sacrifice a world and leave freely. He still had a lot of things to do.    

"Listen up, from today onwards, the Great Chu Dynasty will be destroyed. You can join the Great Qin Dynasty from now on."    

Lu Yu said slowly, his voice gradually spreading out, even reaching beyond the heavens.    

All the living beings in the entire Chu Realm heard Lu Yu's words.    

Lu Yu's voice was like a decree, causing the originally gloomy sky to suddenly be sprinkled with rays of sunlight.    

The rain finally stopped, and a scorching sun hung in the sky. The clear fragrance of grass covered the bloody killing aura, as if everything was welcoming a new turn of events.    

From all over the Chu Realm, sobbing sounds could be heard.    

Shen Linglong had only sacrificed a portion of the living beings, but to the entire Chu Realm, it was already a disaster.    

Many cities, the survivors of which held their relatives and friends' corpses and wailed.    

As for the loyal soldiers of the Great Chu Army, their faces were pale as they sat on the ground with lifeless eyes.    

The war banner of the Great Chu had been chopped down by someone with an axe, and the banner fell to the ground and was casually trampled on.    

At this moment, Lu Yu had truly gained control of the Chu Realm!    

The golden dragon of fate let out a loud roar, and countless distracting thoughts rushed into Lu Yu's mind.    

The cries of children, the wails of women, the sobbing of men, the wails of old men...    

This time, the Great Qin had destroyed the last rebel force and completely occupied the entire Heaven Realm.    

However, Lu Yu's heart could not calm down.    

Looking at the vast territory of the Chu Realm, Lu Yu suddenly let out a soft sigh.    

"Chen Linglong, if you don't die, I'm afraid I won't be able to comfort the parents and elders of the Chu Realm..."    

The next day, the Qin army entered the Chu Realm.    

With the help of the various government offices of the Great Qin, the entire Chu Realm began to recover in an orderly manner.    

Under Lu Yu's order, the Ministry of Finance gathered a large amount of money and invested it into the recovery of the Chu Realm.    

The houses and buildings that had already been destroyed were repaired one after another.    

This was a treatment that the people of the Darchu Dynasty had never had before. Even the previous Great King Chu Dukes couldn't help but sigh at this moment. The Qin Dynasty was indeed much better than the Darchu Dynasty.    

In comparison, Emperor Shen Linglong of the Great Chu Dynasty was more like an ancient emperor. He only cared about his own cultivation and completely left everything to others.    

On the ruins of the former Great Chu Imperial Palace, a majestic palace was once again built. This was Lu Yu's palace.    

Lu Yu found some ancient murals on this ruin.    

On those murals, there were many stories of the ancient era. There were groups of deities and powerful immortals worshipping and fighting, and the style of the murals in the Eastern Emperor Taiyi's inheritance was similar.    

"Chu Country..."    

Lu Yu knew that Shen Linglong had a profound meaning behind this name.    

This was a country that had once been glorious in the ancient era. Its luck was not weak, and it had never waned. Shen Linglong had taken a liking to it.    

"If the name of the Chu Country is passed down from the ancient era, then the word Qin, is it also an ancient country of the ancient era?"    

Lu Yu wandered around the ruins and took away all the murals.    

The true inheritance treasures had long been taken away by Shen Linglong, and now, only these meaningless murals remained.    

Lu Yu chose to stay in the Chu Realm.    

The people in the Chu Realm were unstable, and he needed to take charge of it.    

"Your Majesty, the population of the Chu Realm is currently only eight hundred million. The population loss is too severe, and most of the people who died were cultivators. The commoners who survived were also affected by the calamity. Countless people have died and are injured. I request the Ministry of Finance to approve..."    

At this moment, beside a pavilion in the palace.    

The newly appointed Inspector of Chu Realm was reporting to Lu Yu.    

Chu Realm was originally very vast, but now that it had suffered a heavy blow, there was no need to separate an area. Thus, Lu Yu merged it into the Boundless Galaxy, and it was under the jurisdiction of the Boundless Governor.    

The Inspector of Chu Realm was an old official with rich experience in the Ministry of Finance. His cultivation level was already at the third level of the Heavenly Realm, and he was enough to take charge of a certain area.    

Suddenly, the voice of the Inspector of Chu Realm stopped.    

Lu Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he saw a slim figure not far away from Lu Yu.    

"I'll do as you say. I will give the decree to my subordinates." Lu Yu waved his hand.    

"Your servant will take his leave."    

The Inspector of Chu Realm did not look at Shangguan Wan'er, who was standing at the side, and turned to leave.    

After the Inspector of Chu Realm left, Shangguan Wan'er said lightly, "Your subordinate is not bad. He handled things in a very orderly manner. Now that Chu Realm is suffering a disaster, the Qin Emperor has a lot of money and power, and it's the best time to buy people's hearts."    

"Buy people's hearts?"    

Lu Yu shook his head. "I don't need it."    

After saying that, Lu Yu looked at Shangguan Wan'er. "Next, what do you plan to do?"    

Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Then let's see if His Majesty Qin Emperor can take me in. Why don't I be the Prime Minister of the Inner Cabinet?"
