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

Chapter 140 Entering Beijing

Chapter 140 Entering Beijing
Lu Ming affixed a disguise talisman to his body.

The next moment, his body changed; he was no longer the imposing and valiant general in armor.

He became a hunched old man.

It seemed as if the body's vital energy was about to be depleted.

There are many such people on the island, all of whom are unable to break through to the Golden Core stage and reach the island to harvest the Life-Sustaining Herb.

After Lu Ming changed his form, he flew away slowly.

He truly resembled an old man at the Core Formation stage.

When he passed through the light curtain and landed on the ship.

Seeing that all the generals had boarded the ship, a smile appeared on his face.

Just as everyone was filled with surprise, wondering who had boarded their warship and was preparing to make a move.

"set off!"

Lu Ming's voice rang out.

Then the warship started moving, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that their lord had returned.

After all, only the other side can operate this warship.

The three warships headed towards the land, completely inconspicuous.

Meanwhile, the Daoists in the distance were already preparing to hunt down the person who had reached the top.

A mirror appeared in the palm of one of them.

Then, a mouthful of blood spurted onto it.

Then, the mirror began to shimmer with light.

The owner of the mirror smiled and looked at the person beside him, saying, "Wait a moment, that person's appearance and location will be revealed, then we can go directly there."

After speaking, his gaze returned to the mirror.

But the next moment, his expression changed.

All that could be seen on the mirror was a vast expanse of white mist; there was nothing there at all.

"Oh no, that person has a treasure that can conceal their tracks, I can't detect it," the man said.

A look of helplessness appeared on his face.

I never expected things to turn out this way.

The other Daoists looked at him with cold, piercing gazes.

With so much time having passed, if they wanted to leave, they would have left long ago.

How can we chase after them now?

Thinking of this, they could only exchange a glance.

They each went their separate ways.

I'm going back to see how the sect will handle this matter.

At this moment, Lu Ming turned his attention to several of his generals.

He has already asked.

Zhang Meng was the one who climbed the lowest point, falling after only three hundred steps.

The others are quite good.

Wu Han and Lu Shi, in particular, climbed more than 1,200 steps.

As for Wang Yue and his group, they had also gone more than nine hundred steps.

Such talent would definitely place him among the core disciples of the sect.

Moreover, the rewards are very generous.

Lu Ming didn't ask deliberately, but it seemed that after returning, improving his cultivation level in a short period of time wouldn't be a problem.

This put his mind at ease.

As long as the cultivation levels of the generals under his command are improved.

I can finally say that I have someone to rely on.

Nearly a month later, Lu Ming returned to Hongdu Prefecture.

The garrison commanders in various places also headed towards their respective garrisons.

When Lu Ming returned to the backyard, he saw his wife already waiting for him, clearly knowing he was back.

The stone table in the courtyard was laden with all sorts of delicious food.

"My husband is back, come and eat."

Li Xirou said softly.

Lu Ming stepped forward, patted the other person's head, and laughed.

"Have a meal!"

Then, he sat down.

After Li Xiyue nodded, she went next to Lu Ming to add rice to his bowl.

"How did it go this time? Did it go smoothly?" A gentle voice sounded.

In the past.

Li Xirou never asked Lu Ming these questions. Battles were a man's affair; as a woman, her job was simply to be sensible and take care of Lu Ming.

But this time was different; Lu Ming was there to find the life-extending herb.

Li Xirou was naturally concerned.

This concerns the prime minister's lifespan.

“Of course there is no problem. We have found more than thirty life-extending herbs. Not only for your godfather, but also for your parents.”

Lu Ming said with a smile.

Li Xiyue's face showed a look of surprise.

Then, he poured Lu Ming a pot of wine.

The two of them started drinking on their own.

After finishing the meal, Li Xirou's pretty face was already flushed.

He was clearly a little drunk.

After Lu Ming helped her into the house to rest,

He then entered the secret room.

At that very moment, in the Great Yu Imperial Palace, the Empress held a jade talisman in her hand. As she channeled her true essence into it, a scene instantly appeared within it.

What was displayed above was the image of Lu Ming reaching the summit.

"Your Majesty, according to the accounts of those who were present at the time, the powerful figure who reached the top seems to be the expert who escorted Prime Minister Li back that day."

The female official in green said cautiously.

As she finished speaking.

The Empress's eyes flashed.

Then he said, "Order Wei Zhong to gather a group of Black-Clad Guards to protect Prime Minister Li."

"Your Majesty wishes to..."

"What are you thinking? We're just protecting Prime Minister Li. Since we know about this, others might know as well. It's inevitable that someone will use Prime Minister Li to threaten this person, so we must protect him closely."

To prevent this from happening!

The Empress's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

She knows these sects too well; they're ruthless and unscrupulous.

Therefore, we must handle this carefully.

"The capital city is brimming with human compassion; surely the sect members wouldn't dare to act recklessly," the female official said cautiously.

Because of Lu Ming, the relationship with Prime Minister Li was already tense. If another person were sent, people would inevitably have doubts.

"How was Prince Yong kidnapped back then? Just go now, stop arguing," the Empress said impatiently.

After seeing her like this.

The female official dared not say another word and quickly replied, "Yes, sir!"

Then, the Queen continued, "How are the royal family members who have returned this time?"

"Three people walked a thousand steps, more than ten people reached eight hundred steps, and the rest were around five hundred steps. It can be said that this is the best result in nearly a hundred years."

Many marquises said that they would be able to break through their current level after returning this time.

The female official said with a smile.

The Queen frowned. "Many of our people have improved, and the rebel king's side is probably the same. The battles to come are destined to be even more intense."

After the sound rang out.

With a hint of worry.

Then, a deep purple light flashed in his eyes.

The female official who witnessed this scene was shocked. The Empress's cultivation had actually reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. How long had it been?

“Your Majesty is right,” she said cautiously.

Then, at the lady-in-waiting's signal, he carefully retreated.

After she left.

The Empress then took out her own drawings again and examined them.

And at this time.

A cultivation competition has begun throughout the entire Great Yu region.

Even some of the forces that rebelled against the king stopped their attacks.

They are clearly trying to make a breakthrough as quickly as possible.

Once our cultivation level has improved, we will launch a new war.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming had rested for a few days.

He then secretly took Li Xirou and his guards from Hongdu Prefecture and headed towards the capital.

Firstly, it was to give him the life-extending herb; secondly, he missed his godfather.
