The ground of Haojing City was covered with chicken feathers.

There was stinking black blood everywhere. The patrolling Wu Hou and the yamen runners from various government offices organized countless civilians to flush the area again and again with clean water, but the sticky blood plasma still stubbornly adhered to everywhere, emitting a pungent odor.

Lu Yu led three thousand Canglang riders and patrolled the imperial city and Jiuqu Garden.

The black-scaled monster was causing trouble, and the core outbreak site was in the four first-class markets of Fengdiaoyushun, Guotaimin'an and Anping.

They appeared too suddenly, their scales were too strong, and they were thousands of pounds strong. They ran like horses. Each black-scaled monster could be regarded as a heavy cavalry running at full speed, and was really difficult to deal with.

The city defense garrisons of the four major market towns, patrol officers, detectives from the Sikoutai, and so on, anyone who went out to maintain order on the streets were almost all killed by these black-scaled monsters.

Even the Imperial Guards garrison, which had always maintained a "strong army" demeanor, suffered heavy losses in the sudden attack by the black-scaled monsters.

Fortunately, Le Wu, along with a group of Le family generals and a group of elite heavy cavalry from the General's Mansion, launched a strong attack and managed to suppress the black-scaled monsters.

Even so, the generals from the Le family lost nearly a hundred men in one battle. Le Wu was so heartbroken that he broke into the imperial city and cried loudly to the empress dowager. It is said that he fainted from crying several times.

Lu Yu's three thousand Canglang riders, with their weapons smeared with the incense ashes offered to Buddha at the Vajra Temple, were able to inflict terrifying damage on those black-scaled monsters.

Together with these three thousand Canglang Riders, they are actually the three thousand outer disciples of the Great Vajra Temple. All of them have powerful cultivation bases and are masters who can rival those in the Tuomai realm.

After several hours of high-intensity fighting, none of the three thousand Canglang Riders were killed, hundreds were seriously injured, over a thousand were slightly injured, and nearly a hundred thousand black-scale monsters were killed. Nearly a hundred families of officials were saved from the doom of almost being wiped out.

The emperor was afraid of death. After learning about the glorious achievements of Lu Yu's Canglang Cavalry, he immediately ordered Lu Yu to lead his troops to patrol near Jiuqu Garden and guard the imperial city and Jiuqu Garden nearby.

At the same time, shocking news came from the Imperial College:

Tens of thousands of female ghosts broke into the Imperial College, intending to destroy the "seeds of culture and education" in the Imperial College. However, the deputy head of the Imperial College, Bai Changkong, remained calm in the face of danger, summoned up the righteous spirit that he had nurtured for decades, and wiped out the tens of thousands of female ghosts!

In the city of Haojing, countless frightened scholars have begun to praise Bai Changkong.

In just one day, Bai Changkong's reputation in Haojing City skyrocketed, and he was regarded as the "greatest sage of the dynasty".

There was even a group of great sages and celebrities who were on good terms with Bai Changkong, and they intentionally or unintentionally promoted the idea that Bai Changkong had the "demeanor of a saint"!

In the Imperial College, the 100,000 students who were saved by Bai Changkong bowed down to him in worship and revered him as a "living saint".

The vast majority of the 100,000 students came from powerful and wealthy families, and even from princes from all directions.

And they witnessed with their own eyes their classmate being killed by a female ghost who dug out his heart. They were indeed rescued from the brink of death by Bai Changkong!

One hundred thousand students were moved to tears of gratitude and regarded Bai Changkong as their second parent.

They also saw with their own eyes that Bai Changkong was hanging high in the void, and after a loud roar, heat waves surged between heaven and earth, and "righteous energy overflowed". The ghost fog in the sky disappeared without a trace, and the sun was still shining and the years were peaceful.

They really regarded Bai Changkong as 'sacred'!

This favor.

This network of contacts.

No matter how many times the Bai family and Lu Yi had conflicts, whether overt or covert, before, no matter how embarrassing and awkward the situation was for the Bai family under Lu Yi's intentional or unintentional attacks.

After this battle, the Bai family completely turned around.

Bai Changkong, in the cultural and educational circles of Haojing, really has the prestige of being the "greatest sage in the world" that is comparable to the "dead saint"!

Leading the Canglang Cavalry, slowly crossing the large stone bridge between the Imperial City and Jiuqu Garden, Lu Yu frowned and looked in the direction of Kunpengfang Imperial College.

"Bai Changkong, can you save those stinky scholars from tens of thousands of female ghosts?"

"Haha. With all his abilities, how could he be forced into such an embarrassing situation by Brother Ming?"

“Tsk tsk.”

"The distant niece sent to the palace...the imperial concubine appointed by the emperor...and that...the Paradise Palace?"

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Haha, what a good plan. I need to discuss this matter with my fellow brothers. Does the action of the Paradise Palace count as a violation of the secret agreement of the three religions? At this critical juncture, it is not their turn to take action."

In the sky, three falcons descended from the sky and flew towards Lu Yu and the two generals beside him.

Lu Yu raised his hand, caught the falcon, untied a small copper tube from the falcon's claws, took out the information written in secret code from it, and squinted his eyes to read it carefully.

"Hmm? That bastard Xiong Taidou wants to take the Red Lotus Deliverance Pill for himself?"

"What a courageous dog! He should have broken a few more bones that day."

"Oh, Brother Wu actually dares to do this?"

"It doesn't matter if it's the demon cub from the Battle Demon Palace. It's something that will be fought sooner or later. Killing Wang Pu, who was cultivated by the Battle Demon Palace in the court of Dayin, is a great achievement..."

Lu Yu raised his head and smiled strangely: "This method is somewhat like his grandfather and father."

With a strong force, he crushed the small piece of paper with the information into pieces. Lu Yu said calmly: "You can't have it all to yourself. Xiong Taidou, that bastard, has just refined the Red Lotus Deliverance Pill. In addition to Brother Ming, my two children should have a share!"

Lu Yu glanced at a general beside him and said in a deep voice, "Move the Canglang Cavalry outside the city to Anping Pass. Move them day and night and they must arrive within two days."
Slapping the Wolf King under his seat, Lu Yu rushed to the memorial archway of Jiuqu Garden and said, "Hurry and report to the emperor. Your servant, Lu Yu, the Duke of Tianen, has important military information to report. The matter of suppressing the rebellion in Anping Prefecture has caused a big mess!"

"Let's say Wang Pu died in battle, and Lu Yi, appointed by the emperor as the military supervisor, temporarily commanded the army to suppress the rebellion, and was fighting a fierce battle with the rioters!"

That night.

Outside Anping Pass, in the mountains and forests.

According to the information sent by the disciples of the Great Vajra Temple, Lu Yi came here to meet as agreed.

Lu Yi was alone, standing quietly under a tree of bright red wild peach blossoms on the top of the mountain.

Around midnight (23:00-1:00), there was a slight noise in the distance. Following a breeze, several burly men stepped over the dense thorn bushes and weeds and strode up to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi took out the token of the outer disciple of the Vajra Temple that Shi E had given him and waved it at the big men.

Several big men looked at the tokens, and the leader also showed a token.

"I know what you are here for." Lu Yi looked at the outer disciples of the Great Vajra Temple and said calmly, "Go back and tell Xiong Taidou that he was not fair in this matter. The Red Lotus Deliverance Pill of the Red Lotus Temple has not been refined yet, and he wants to eat it all by himself?"

"Whether you are a person or doing things, you don't do it this way."

"Go back and tell him that I want four of the first batch of Red Lotus Deliverance Pills that Red Lotus Temple has reopened to refine in 30,000 years. If he has one less, he won't be able to cross Anping Pass!"

Upon hearing this, several big men raised their thick eyebrows and took a step forward at the same time.

"What did you say, kid?"

A big man took two steps to Lu Yi, stretched out his index finger which was thicker than a carrot, and pointed it fiercely at his chest: "Young man, how dare you speak to your senior master like this?"

The index finger broke through the wind, causing a sharp whistle.

A faint yellow light was lingering on the fingertips. It was the Vajra Finger that Shi E used to attack Xuetuo Luo of the Blood Soul Temple from behind that day.

Compared to Shi E, this big man's Vajra Finger is probably just the beginning. There is only a little yellow light on his fingertips, but it is still a magical skill of Buddhism. The force of one finger is no less than tens of thousands of pounds, concentrated on such a small fingertip, which is enough to pierce through heavy armor.

Lu Yi didn't dodge or give way, but also pointed out with one finger.

With a "hiss" sound, the index finger of Lu Yi's right hand turned pitch black, vaguely like a reef on the seashore.

This is the vision created by the "Jieshi Gong", the clan's martial arts technique of the Jingyang Lu family. The "Jieshi Gong" is a horizontal training technique that can temper the whole body. It can make the body as strong and hard as the trillion-year-old immortal reefs on the seashore.

But... "Jie Shi Gong" is just a secular martial art after all.

But... although Lu Yi seemed to be activating the "Jie Shi Gong", he was actually consuming the Guixu Immortal Essence!

"Bang!"

The big man grinned grimly.

His Vajra Finger and Lu Yi's index finger collided violently.

The big man's fingers were more than twice as thick as Lu Yi's. With a sharp cracking sound, Lu Yi's fingers were like iron nails, piercing into the big man's fingers and making a three-inch deep hole in his fingers.

The big man gritted his teeth, and with a "crack" sound, the severe pain caused him to break two of his teeth.

Without saying a word, he took a big step forward, his left hand raised high, an extremely dim yellow light lingering in the center of his palm, and a virtual shadow of a Vajra could be seen faintly in the yellow light.

The Vajra shadow was so ethereal that only a human figure could be vaguely seen, without any other details such as facial features and clothes being visible.

The big man groaned and slapped down with all his strength.

As one of the top masters of the Furnace Realm in the outer sect of the Vajra Temple, this big man's body has been tempered to the extreme and is already as strong as a nine-horse ox.

But Lu Yu's cultivation has skyrocketed recently, especially after killing Wang Pu and others, his cultivation has inexplicably soared. He has not reached the peak of the Furnace Realm, but his physical strength alone has reached the level of a formidable force.

One ox has a force of 129,600 kilograms.

One tiger has the strength of twelve oxen!

This is the difference between the Infinite Return to the Ruins Body of the Supreme Beiming Immortal Sect and the Furnace Realm of the Great Vajra Temple.

Lu Yi also threw a punch, making a loud sound of waves, and his heavy punch landed on the pale yellow palm. The bright red peach tree behind Lu Yi suddenly swayed, and countless petals flew up and shattered.

The big man groaned as his whole body was knocked flying. He vomited blood and flew more than forty feet high. Then he fell heavily to the ground and was caught by several disciples of the Vajra Temple who were traveling with him.

“How dare you!” In the forest, Xiong Taidou stepped out and rushed to Lu Yi. He punched Lu Yi’s chest hard and said, “As an outer disciple of the Great Vajra Temple, I will not tolerate your intrusion!”

This is not Haojing City.

Moreover, Lu Yi had just injured a fellow disciple.

Therefore, Xiong Taidou attacked bravely, with all his strength and without mercy.

The next moment, Lu Yi took out the small windmill, and a gust of wind rose from the ground and rolled heavily on Xiong Taidou.
