Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 101 Enemies on All Sides
Lu Ming led his men to clear the way ahead.

Li Yan's bicycle followed behind.

Along the way, they did not encounter any further danger.

However, Lu Ming knew that this might just be the calm before the storm.

The people of the immortal sects will certainly not let this opportunity slip by.

Therefore, although they were on their way, they did not neglect their cultivation at all.

Whether it's "Xuanhuang Chuben", "Xuanwu Jinzhongzhao" or "Longxiang Jin", all have been improved.

Furthermore, they used their existing points to exchange for a trump card.

Although it was a bit pricey, he thought it was worth it.

At this moment, he scanned his surroundings, ready to make a move at any moment.

"How far is it from the capital?"

Lu Ming said calmly.

Wang Han, who was standing nearby, immediately said, "My lord, there are still half a month's journey ahead. I heard that His Majesty has once again dispatched the Imperial Guards, but they have all been blocked by the Immortal Sect. It seems that the various rebel kings are brewing some big moves."

As he said this, a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

"What, scared?" Lu Ming said with a smile.

“Wherever you are, my lord, I will be there!” Wang Han replied immediately.

"Don't worry, I'm quite confident," Lu Ming said calmly.

Meanwhile, on the other side, inside the Great Yu Imperial Palace, the Empress sat on the dragon throne, with the beaded curtain swaying back and forth.

Wisps of smoke drifted towards the top of the main hall.

The scene was shrouded in mist.

The courtiers below were arguing.

"Where has the Prime Minister gone?"

"Your Majesty, we are about to enter the territory of Yinzhou. Once we pass through Yinzhou, we will be close to the central territory of Dayu. Even if the people of the Immortal Sect are powerful, they will not dare to cause trouble here," Wei Zhong said cautiously.

His forehead was covered in sweat.

"However, Yinzhou is currently under siege by two rebel armies. I suspect that the Immortal Sects will make their move here. Moreover, I have learned that all the major Immortal Sects have disciples with exceptional talent who are approaching the Baishui Wasteland of Yinzhou."

They'll probably ambush us there.

The Empress clenched her fists tightly, filled with rage. She was furious that she, the dignified Empress of the Great Yu Dynasty, was now unable to rescue the Prime Minister due to the obstruction of the Immortal Sect.

Then he continued, "Can we find out who saved the Prime Minister in Songzhou?"

She suspected that the other person was the general she had sensed in her dream.

Otherwise, how could a mysterious person have appeared to help the Prime Minister?

"I am incompetent!"

Wei Zhong bowed and said.

His heart was in his throat.

"Who are the experts from the immortal sects?" The Empress's voice was devoid of any emotion.

All that can be felt is coldness.

“Hong Shou of Tianquan Sect, Yu Ling of Tianji Sect, Feng Luo of Kaiyang Sect, and several other sects should have also sent people, but I don’t know exactly who they are. They should all be able to exert the combat power of the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

Everyone he mentioned.

They were almost all new elites from various sects.

Each of them had its own supporting anti-king.

Stirring up trouble in Dayu.

Hong Tao of the Tianquan Sect, in particular, is said to have practiced extraordinary arts.

His combat prowess is terrifyingly high.

He once single-handedly suppressed an elite imperial guard.

It's fair to say that none of them are easy to deal with.

Although it's nothing special within the immortal sect.

Even among all the disciples, he wasn't the strongest.

However, in Dayu, they are currently at the ceiling of combat power.

"Investigate again!" the Empress's voice rang out.

Next, they began to inquire about the situation of the ministers and the various rebel kings.

The current situation in Dayu.

It's really a headache.

At that moment, Lu Ming and his group arrived at the Baishui Wasteland in Yinzhou.

This wasteland isn't very large; it's said to have been a lake in the past, but now it's just a wasteland.

The area above is all grassland.

It was already dark.

Lu Ming glanced around and said, "Let's rest here."

We definitely won't be able to get out of this wasteland today.

Traveling through the night would only make his men more exhausted. This was as Lu Ming's voice rang out.

The group immediately stopped, but the formation remained intact.

Clearly, it was prepared for battle at any moment, its shape resembling a snake formation.

They surrounded Li Yan's carriage in the middle.

After the campfire was lit, everyone quietly roasted their rations in their own spots.

The weapons were all in his hands.

They can act immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.

Just then, two figures stopped several miles away from the army formation.

It turned out to be Liu Huai and Liu Xuan.

"This should be it. These disciples from the immortal sects came here with the intention of killing, and each of them has the combat power of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator!"

The former said slowly.

Liu Xuan nodded. "This time, they should have nowhere to escape. Even if their military formation is powerful, it's impossible for them to fight against so many experts."

Her voice was filled with resentment.

If it weren't for Lu Ming's meddling.

We could have taken down Li Yan last time.

Tuoba Hao's reputation will likely rise even higher.

However, although Songzhou was captured a few days ago, the outcome is still not satisfactory.

Whether Prince Yong could ascend the throne was related to whether she could become an immortal.

Of course, we cannot afford to lose it.

"Someone is approaching them!" Liu Huai said in a low voice.

Sure enough, when Liu Xuan looked over...

They then spotted a figure slowly approaching Lu Ming and his group.

The distance was originally far, but each step took seemed like a leisurely stroll.

But when he lifted his leg, his body was already dozens of feet away.

In the darkness, the figure was indistinct and extremely eerie.

"He seems to be a rising disciple of the Tian Shu Sect. I have seen this person before. His master is an outer sect elder named Luo Yun, who is skilled in using a Prison-Slaying Blade."

Liu Xuan said cautiously.

As soon as she finished speaking...

Another person arrived in the distance; it was a woman, whose body radiated a cold, jade-like glow in the night.

The bright moonlight shone on me.

It exhibits fluorescent reflection.

Like a piece of jade.

"Yu Ling of the Tianji Sect is said to have been born with a spirit stone hanging from her head. Among the newly admitted disciples of the Tianji Sect, she can be ranked in the top thirty. She has already been noticed by the elders and is preparing to be taken as a disciple. She once killed a Marquis of Dayu among tens of thousands of imperial guards."

Liu Xuan knew them all like the back of her hand.

Further away, a group of experts from the Great Yu Xuanyi Guard were also quietly approaching.

Their purpose was not to save people, but to bring back everything they had seen today to the court and report to the Empress.

Therefore, after a short while, he lay prone in the grass, with a talisman affixed to his body.

To prevent detection by members of the immortal sects.

Lu Ming, who had just eaten a piece of meat, noticed someone approaching. He put down his mask and stood up.

"Crash!"

As he stood up, the three thousand strongmen behind him also stood up.

The shield was raised, and the long sword struck the shield.

It made a piercing sound.

It sounded like a giant python hissing.

Surrounded in the center, Li Yan frowned. "Master, it seems the people from the Immortal Sect have arrived."

Uncle Fu stood in front of him, his eyes showing seriousness.

All the Imperial Guards simultaneously formed a circle.

He nervously looked around.

A night breeze stirred, and the withered grass rustled softly.

"Don't panic, let's see what happens!" Li Yan stood there, his collar fluttering.

There was no trace of fear on his aged face.

But when her gaze fell on Lu Ming, a look of worry appeared.

“Master, if a fight breaks out later, I will protect you and help you leave,” Uncle Fu couldn’t help but say again.

“I’ll stay here and not go anywhere.” Li Yan’s voice was calm but firm.

Thank you so much to the generous donors Renjiediling Arkham and Yehan for their 500 Qidian Coins donations. Thank you all for your monthly tickets. I'm so sorry for the delay today; I had to go for a medical check-up. I'll try my best to update more tomorrow. Thank you again.
