340: Conquer the world!

Chapter 338: Conquering the World!

Over the next ten days.

Lu Jinyun and the other three personally led three hundred thousand Huwei Army, sweeping through Baoxiang Temple and Qingyang Temple with overwhelming force.

All three thousand Martial Monks in Baoxiang Temple were executed, and the thousand-year-old temple was reduced to ashes.

Seventy-two Daoist temples of Qingyang Temple collapsed, and its millennium-long Legacy was severed.

All the scriptures, Cultivation Techniques, secret treasures, and rare collections of the two sects were stored in the Lu Mansion's secret vault.

In Qianning City, officials trembled.

Those ministers who had been on good terms with the two sects now closed their doors and did not go out.

The Imperial Palace even dispatched an additional three thousand Imperial Guards overnight, and even the corner towers were equipped with barrier-breaking crossbows, as if preparing for a formidable enemy.

But what was most terrifying was the horrifying combat power displayed by the Huwei Army during the annihilation of the two sects.

There were more than ten Grandmaster-level generals.

At the same time, the army was also equipped with a large number of Tiger Might Iron Armored Bows that restrained Martial Artists.

With the demise of the two sects, the power structure of the Da Qian Dynasty was completely changed.

In the cultivation secret chamber of the Lu Mansion, candlelight flickered, casting long shadows of Lu Jinyun and the other three.

Lu Jinyun's hands trembled slightly as he gently placed the Supreme treasures confiscated from the two sects onto the stone platform.

The copper rings of the Nine-Ringed Staff clanged together, producing a clear sound like metal striking stone.

The Nine-Ringed Staff that had been passed down in Baoxiang Temple for who knows how many years!

The golden silk tassels of a Celestial Master's Whisk hung down.

This was the Celestial Master's Whisk passed down through generations of Qingyang Temple, said to possess miraculous power contained within it.

After doing all this, Lu Jinyun and the other three stood still like clay figures, without any unnecessary movements.

A suffocating silence permeated the secret chamber, with only the sound of their breathing.

"Jinyun, come here!"

Lu Xuan stood with his back to the Supreme treasures on the stone platform, his Xuan Iron colored robe fluttering without wind.

He slowly turned around, his eyes as cold as frost, and in the depths of his dark pupils, a faint golden light flickered.

"In Qianning City, Father does not wish to hear any other voices!"

His voice was terrifyingly calm, as if discussing a trivial matter.

"Also, there is no need for too many troublesome people within the Imperial Palace!"

As his voice fell, Lu Xuan spoke word by word: "Get rid of them for Father!"

The last few sentences were like a heavy hammer, striking hard at the hearts of Lu Jinyun and the other three.

Lu Jinyun felt the cold sweat on his back instantly soak through his clothes, and his three brothers beside him also trembled uncontrollably.

They had never seen their Father act like this; he was like a completely different person from the loyal minister Father they remembered.

Of course, the four of them were not afraid, but rather found their Father's actions unbelievable.

One must know that before their Father went berserk.

If anyone dared to say such rebellious words in front of him, they would definitely be beheaded and displayed to the public, even if it were his own son.

"Father, there are many Martial Dao Grandmasters in the Imperial Palace, and your sons are afraid of leaking the news!"

At this moment, Lu Jinyun's Adam's apple bobbed violently, his eyes fixed on Lu Xuan.

"Father!" Lu Jinyun continued to analyze.

"Sun Lingyuan of the Dragon Soaring Guard, wielding the Dragon Protection Blade, can exert the power of Major Accomplishment Grandmaster.

"Former Grand Eunuch Cao Yunjin, who has been in seclusion for twenty years, possesses a body tempering technique that even divine weapons can barely harm.

"Yuan Licheng of the Great Qian Secret Guard, in charge of three thousand secret guards, has the strength of a Peak Grandmaster."

Lu Jinyun's voice trembled, but he still forced himself to analyze: "Unless Father takes action personally, otherwise there might be unforeseen circumstances!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xuan suddenly raised his hand and interrupted Lu Jinyun's words.

Lu Xuan suddenly raised his hand, and golden light surged between his fingers.

Lu Jinyun's saber at his waist unsheathed with a "clang".

The bright blade trembled violently in mid-air, emitting bursts of buzzing sounds.

Roar, roar, roar...

Nine tiger roars exploded consecutively above the secret chamber, shaking the walls of the secret chamber and causing cracks to appear.

The originally ordinary blade now emitted a dazzling golden light.

Nine ferocious and malevolent tiger phantoms roamed on the blade.

The most terrifying was the white tiger phantom; each time it appeared, it emitted a chilling killing intent that sent shivers down the spines of Lu Jinyun and the other three.

Lu Jinyun and the other three were deeply shocked, and they all subconsciously took half a step back—

They clearly saw that their Father's right hand holding the saber was emitting mysterious and unfathomable golden light.

Every time the golden light flickered, the tiger phantom on the blade solidified a bit.

The pressure it emitted made it difficult for them, who were at the Grandmaster Realm, to breathe.

"On this saber... there is the protective power left by Father!"

Lu Xuan casually threw the saber, and the sharp blade was as precise as a spiritual snake, drawing an arc in the air and accurately returning to Lu Jinyun's waist scabbard without any deviation.

"It can kill anyone in the world."

When the last few words fell, Lu Jinyun and the other three were dumbfounded, seemingly savoring Lu Xuan's words.

The heavy Xuan Iron door of the secret chamber closed with a bang, separating the inside and outside into two worlds.

Lu Jinyun and the other three stood still, their eyes all focused on the saber in Lu Jinyun's hand—

Nine tiger king phantoms were circulating on the blade, which were the Restrictions their Father had casually engraved just now.

"Second Brother..." Lu Chang's voice trembled, and he lightly touched the saber hilt with his fingertip before quickly retracting it.

"This... is this truly a Realm that we Martial Artists can reach?"

The blade suddenly hummed, and nine tiger phantoms appeared.

Each one was lifelike, and the most terrifying thing was their eyes—they were similar to their Father's eyes!

Lu Jinyun's Adam's apple bobbed, recalling the world-destroying strike on Wanfo Mountain: "When Father suppressed and killed the two Supreme Grandmasters that day..."

His voice became lower and lower, "I clearly saw space being torn apart by the tiger claws..."

Old butler Old Steward Li's back was hunched; this old servant who had served the Lu Family for three generations suddenly smiled bitterly.

"It seems that Lord's Realm has reached a height that Mortals cannot reach."

Everyone fell silent at the same time.

Only that majestic saber was still humming, as if telling a terrifying truth—

Their Father, perhaps, had already surpassed the category of "human"...

"Without further ado, we will first control the entire Qianning City, and then make that Dog Emperor pay the price!"

Lu Jinyun inserted the saber in his hand back into its scabbard, his eyes filled with killing intent.

That damned Dog Emperor, that ungrateful wretch.

If our Lu Family hadn't fought for him generation after generation against enemies, could he have sat so securely on that dragon throne?

However, there was still one thing that Lu Jinyun and the other three couldn't understand.

Since Father intended to deal with that Dog Emperor, why not do it more thoroughly.

As the saying goes, emperors take turns, and next year it will be our turn!

The Nine-Five Supreme Ruler, only the strongest is qualified to sit upon it!

Why can't our Lu Family replace him in this Great Qian's world!

Inside the secret chamber.

Candlelight flickered, and Lu Xuan raised his hand and waved lightly, the Nine-Ringed Staff and the Celestial Master's Whisk on the stone platform suddenly ascended into the air.

As if guided by an invisible giant hand, they obediently fell into Lu Xuan's palm.

The reason why Lu Xuan did not directly kill Emperor Qianxi naturally had his intentions.

The Da Qian Dynasty appeared peaceful on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents were surging.

The garrison troops in various places had different intentions, and the thousand-year-old aristocratic families and powerful clans were ready to make a move, only lacking a reason to raise troops.

If the Lu Family rashly assassinated the monarch, these jackals would surely take the opportunity to rise up and declare themselves kings.

At that time, there would be a lot of trouble waiting for the Lu Family to resolve one by one.

Since that was the case, Lu Xuan simply left Emperor Qianxi's dog life.

Anyway, as long as Emperor Qianxi was in the hands of the Lu Family, it meant that the Lu Family could easily control the lives of everyone in the world.

By then, the strength of the entire world will be the Foundation for my Lu Family to conquer all directions!

In this world, there is not only the Da Qian Dynasty as a country, but also five or six other dynasties distributed in various places.

Therefore, in Lu Xuan's eyes, there is not only the small country of the Da Qian Dynasty.

He wants the whole world.

After Lu Xuan obtains everything he wants, he will have enough time to deal with those small troubles.

Within a few breaths, the Celestial Master's Whisk and the Nine-Ringed Staff in Lu Xuan's hands instantly turned into ashes and scattered on the ground.

Lu Xuan was startled when he saw the System points on the System panel.

What kind of things were those two items just now born from?

Immediately, Lu Xuan cast aside all thoughts and turned to look at the strange stones and some millennium-old nourishing items filling the secret chamber.

Let's refine these things first.

Today, on every street in Qianning City, withered leaves swirled in the wind, making rustling sounds.

The shops that were usually lively and bustling with people now had their doors tightly shut, without a single person in sight.

The entire street was terrifyingly silent, and even the sounds of hawking and walking had disappeared without a trace.

Fifty thousand Tiger Howl Guards, clad in gleaming iron armor, were neatly arranged throughout the streets.

Like an unbreakable iron wall, they tightly sealed every alleyway.

On the city wall, the black banner of the Black Tortoise Guard and the crimson flame banner of the Vermillion Bird Guard fluttered in the wind, flapping loudly.

Inside the Great Qian Imperial Palace, blood flowed profusely on the white marble steps, staining the pure white steps a shocking dark red.

Over a thousand corpses of the Dragon Soaring Guard lay scattered, some still in the posture of drawing their swords to resist the enemy, with unwillingness and anger on their faces.

Some didn't even have time to draw their weapons before falling into pools of blood.

In front of the Zhengyang Gate, a shocking ten-zhang sword mark was clearly visible.

That was the terrifying mark left by the Vermillion Bird Sword in Lu Jinwu's hand, and the fierce sword energy.

It instantly cut thirty-six elite guards in half at the waist, a scene of such brutality that it was chilling.

In front of the Golden Throne Hall, Sun Lingyuan leaned against a coiled dragon pillar, blood constantly dripping from his long sword, blooming into blood flowers on the ground.

Under his damaged armor, his blood-stained inner garment was particularly conspicuous, and he appeared disheveled and weak.

"Lu Jinyun!"

"Lu Jinhua!"

"Lu Jinwu!"

"Lu Chang!"

"Old Steward Li!"

Sun Lingyuan gritted his teeth and shouted these five names loudly, seemingly with deep questions.

"Your Lu Family, you actually rebelled!"

With that, Sun Lingyuan occasionally glanced around, trying to find the figure that filled him with terror.

His former mentor, the Grand Marshal of the Armed Forces, Grand Tutor Lu!

Lu Jinyun's steps were steady as he slowly walked forward, the nine tiger patterns on the saber at his waist flickering with a strange light.

"Sun Lingyuan, do you still have the face to call my family head's name?"

Immediately after, Lu Jinhua's voice was low and cold.

"Back then, if Father hadn't taken in you little beast."

"You would have starved to death on the streets long ago."

"I didn't expect that not only did you not repay his kindness, but you also betrayed Father."

Upon hearing this, Sun Lingyuan's face instantly turned ashen, and his body trembled slightly.

That long-sealed memory was like a heavy hammer, striking hard at his chest.

"Die for this old man, Sun Lingyuan!"

Before Sun Lingyuan could open his mouth to argue, Old Steward Li's figure had already shot out like a black lightning bolt.

A sharp sword light cut through the air, bringing with it bone-chilling frost, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped Sun Lingyuan.

In an instant, Sun Lingyuan was frozen into an ice sculpture, standing stiffly in place.

Old Steward Li flicked his finger lightly, and with a "crash", the ice sculpture instantly shattered into countless fine powders, scattering with the wind.

This was Old Steward Li's famous sword technique, the Frost Sword Art!

Seeing Sun Lingyuan's death, Lu Jinyun's gaze was cold as he turned and looked towards the depths of the palace.

"Clean everything up."

"It's time to meet that Emperor."

Outside the Yulong Hall, three thousand golden-armored secret guards formed the "Heaven and Earth Net Formation", their dark gold armor reflecting a bloody light under the setting sun.

Yuan Licheng stood in front of the formation, his voice hoarse and broken under the Xuan Iron mask: "Grand Tutor Lu was loyal to the country his entire life, how could he..."

Lu Jinyun, who was at the forefront, didn't even bother to answer Yuan Licheng's question.

The golden broadsword in his hand suddenly burst out with dazzling purple lightning, and the nine tiger king phantoms simultaneously awakened.

As the blade struck down, a purple crystal tiger king bathed in lightning leaped out of the void.

Seeing this world-shattering strike, Yuan Licheng hastily raised his sword, pushing his Peak Grandmaster qi to the extreme.

But where the purple lightning passed, his Xuan Iron sword instantly vaporized, and his mask cracked with a "crack", revealing a face filled with terror and despair.

"This is... a Land Immortal's..."

"You..."

After the ten thousand zhang lightning swept through, the golden armor of the three thousand secret guards melted into molten iron.

Tiger claw-shaped scorch marks appeared on the white marble ground, and the gilded plaque of the Yulong Hall crashed down.

As for Yuan Licheng, who bore the brunt of the attack, although he still maintained a blocking posture, his body had already turned into charcoal.

The lightning dispersed, and Lu Jinyun sheathed his saber.

The charred corpses of the three thousand golden-armored secret guards remained in their formation from when they were alive, but without any trace of life.

Lu Jinyun stepped over Yuan Licheng's remains, the sound of bones crushing faintly coming from the sole of his boot.

"Creak—"

The vermilion door of the Yulong Hall opened on its own at this moment.

On the dragon throne in the hall, Emperor Qianxi's crown was already askew, and the Son of Heaven's Sword in his hand... was trembling uncontrollably!

"Lu Jinyun, I has treated your Lu Family well, why do you commit such a rebellious act!"

"Your Majesty, please be careful with your words!"

"Your subject has only heard that Cao Yunjin and other eunuchs are colluding with foreign enemies and plotting to overthrow the court."

"Therefore, I specially led the Huwei Army to come and protect Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty may have been deceived by treacherous officials, unable to distinguish between loyal and disloyal."

Lu Jinyun slowly walked forward, the hem of his robe sweeping across the shattered jade on the ground.

"It just so happens that your subject has a divine physician under his command who is skilled in treating hysteria."

With that, Lu Jinyun raised his hand to signal, and two Huwei Army generals held a medicinal bowl, with a faint green light emanating from within.

"The two of you, quickly feed His Majesty the medicine, do not delay his illness!"
