Peerless Taoist

0Especially now, the Great Qin Empire was at its most prosperous and flourishing period.    

    

As the capital city of the Great Qin Empire, the Central Capital Star was naturally the first to receive the moonlight. The amount of Fate it received far exceeded that of other places.    

    

Many cultivators tried to enter the Central Capital, but fortunately, Lu Yu's ban had been in place. After ten years, the Central Capital Star would be completely opened.    

    

During this process, the cultivation level of the cultivators in the Central Capital had increased by a large margin. They had enough strength to integrate into the entire Heaven Realm.    

    

Lu Yu brought Shangguan Wan'er to the Central Capital. Just as they arrived, they felt a familiar aura.    

    

This was his hometown.    

    

"There are still some members of the Ji Family alive. I have already ordered people to gather them and form a new family. Now that this family is flourishing, they have quite a bit of power in the Central Capital. Do you want to go and take a look?" Lu Yu asked.    

    

"Mm..." Shangguan Wan'er nodded.    

    

In fact, she had no purpose in coming here. She was left to Lu Yu to arrange everything.    

    

Ji Chenyu's father, Ji Longtian, was originally a high-ranking official of the Lower Realm's Great Dragon Empire. However, he was suspected by the emperor and his entire family was executed.    

    

However, Ji Longtian did not resign himself to his fate. While he arranged for his daughter to leave his side, he also arranged for some of his family members to conceal their identities and hide in the fields.    

    

In the end, although the Ji Family did not escape the fate of being exterminated, some of their bloodline survived until now.    

    

After Lu Yu unified the world, he ordered the Skynet to find these members of the Ji Family and gave them sufficient resources to rebuild their family.    

    

With Lu Yu's current status and identity, just some rewards were enough to allow a family to soar to the sky and become completely powerful.    

    

Therefore, the Ji Family quickly became one of the top families in the capital.    

    

At this moment, Lu Yu's Spiritual Sense covered the entire area, but he suddenly frowned slightly.    

    

"Why are there still remnants of the Eternal Night Sky left here?" A sharp cold light flashed across Lu Yu's eyes.    

    

In an instant, he brought Shangguan Wan'er to a huge family residence.    

    

This residence was built in a grand and magnificent manner. It looked extremely luxurious and occupied a rather large area. Looking over, it was like a small city.    

    

This was the Ji Family.    

    

At this moment, the Ji Family seemed to have encountered a great disaster. The entire family's defensive formation had already been activated.    

    

Countless Ji Family cultivators were patrolling around the residence. Many cultivators were even sleeping soundly at night, not daring to let go of their swords. They maintained their unsheathed state at all times.    

    

A solemn and murderous aura filled the entire family.    

    

"Father, Mother, when can we go out?"    

    

A lively and cute girl wearing a small jacket ran to a middle-aged couple.    

    

At this moment, the middle-aged couple were sitting in the main hall. They were dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, and they looked like they were either rich or noble. However, they were frowning at this moment, and their eyes were filled with anxiety and unease.    

    

"Xiaoru, be good. Mother will bring you back to the backyard. Don't disturb Father …" The woman sighed, picked up the girl, and walked to the backyard with the help of the many maids.    

    

In the main hall, other than the middle-aged man who was sitting at the head of the table, there was also a group of cultivators sitting, and their faces also revealed a serious expression.    

    

Looking at his daughter leave, the middle-aged man let out a long sigh.    

    

Outside the door, it was very quiet. The Ji Family was established in a valley, and the Spiritual Qi here was abundant. The surrounding was beautiful, and the entire mountain range belonged to the Ji Family, so it was very quiet.    

    

However, the hearts of the people in the main hall were quite restless, and there was a hint of unease.    

    

"Family Head, the letter has already been investigated by someone. It was discovered by a servant in the family. The other party was able to pass through our family's great formation and leave behind this letter. It can be seen that they can already enter the residence …"    

    

An old man said in a deep voice, "If we don't surrender to the Dark Emperor Cult, I'm afraid that the entire family will be destroyed."    

    

The middle-aged man frowned. "I have already sent someone to notify the Star Lord Palace. The yamen might have already sent an army to support us."    

    

The old man shook his head. "Right now, the Star Lord's Mansion and the Dark Emperor Sect are fighting fiercely. How could they possibly split their forces to help us? I'm afraid that they are too busy to help us."    

    

A cultivator suddenly said, "I heard that the Dark Emperor Sect is backed by a great power. This time, not to mention us, even the entire Great Qin Dynasty might be wiped out. Although our Ji Family is not weak now, it is nothing compared to those monstrous powers. Why don't we..."    

    

"Enough!"    

    

The middle-aged man interrupted the cultivator. "The Ji Family is able to reach this day because of that person... Don't forget, if it wasn't for that person, how could our family reach this day?"    

    

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, everyone present stopped talking.    

    

They naturally knew who the middle-aged man was talking about.    

    

Qin Huang, Lu Yu.    

    

The person who left countless legends in the Central Capital Star.    

    

Even though he had ascended to the Heaven Realm, no one could defeat him. He had defeated all the forces at the end of Great Yu's last year and became the only expert in the entire Heaven Realm.    

    

"That person should be able to deal with the invasion of the foreign forces this time, right?" someone said uncertainly.    

    

They had heard about the disaster this time.    

    

Although the Great Chu Dynasty had already been defeated, the news from many places was still outdated. They still thought that the Qin Army and the Chu Army were still fighting.    

    

“Of course!”    

    

The middle-aged man swept his gaze across the surroundings. “If even he can’t do it, then the Ji Family will naturally be destroyed long ago!”    

    

The hearts of the others shuddered, but no one refuted him.    

    

They were all very clear that in the cultivation world, strength was everything.    

    

The Ji Family’s foundation was truly too weak. Even if they had the many treasures and resources bestowed by the Qin Emperor, it would still require sufficient time to allow the family’s power to rise.    

    

Once they chose to surrender and lost the Qin Emperor’s support, they would probably be abandoned by the Darkness Emperor Cult in the end.    

    

“Let’s just wait in peace for the government’s reinforcements. Our Ji Family has a good relationship with the Central Capital Governor and the Great General of the Central Capital Garrison, so the other party should be reinforcing very soon…”    

    

When they thought of the contents of the letter, many people felt a chill run down their spines.    

    

It stated that if they still didn’t surrender after that day, then the entire Ji Family would be wiped out, and blood would flow like a river.    

    

The middle-aged man suddenly frowned. “Something’s wrong. Why is it so quiet outside?”    

    

Although the Ji Family was quiet enough, it wasn’t to the extent that they couldn’t even make a sound. There were at least fifty clansmen and hundreds of servants living here.    

    

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. “Your Ji Family still doesn’t surrender? Do you want to be wiped out?”
