First Kill Lu Yang

In the new, unclaimed cave, the cultivators of the Great Yu Dynasty gradually moved their belongings out of their storage rings to decorate the new cave.

Even palaces could be moved out of storage rings, and soon a magnificent palace stood tall in the desolate cave.

Next to the palace stands an inconspicuous thatched hut, the residence of the Imperial Preceptor.

The Imperial Preceptor considered himself a hermit and lived in a very low-key and simple place.

The Imperial Advisor squatted on a small stool, his eyes deep and unfathomable, like an ancient well, giving him the air of a wise and shrewd strategist.

"We're safe now."

"The Ask Dao Sect forced me to relocate my base; this is truly a disgrace!"

Who was he? He was the second Grand Preceptor of the Great Yu Dynasty, the inheritor and promoter of the Great Yu's golden age, and several Yu emperors became wise rulers with his help, revered by the world.

The first Grand Preceptor had two outstanding disciples. The eldest disciple fought in all directions, established the Great Yu Dynasty, and was known to later generations as the first Emperor of Yu. The second disciple was the first Grand Preceptor.

He was not only the second Imperial Advisor, but also the junior brother of the first Emperor Yu. Who in the world would dare to disrespect him!

He himself was an extremely powerful cultivator, capable of suppressing six Tribulation Transcendence stage on his own.

All of this stemmed from the Silent Daoist's scheme, which led to Dawn's capture and the exposure of the cave's location.

Anger also flashed in the subordinates' eyes. How dare a mere sect compete with the dynasty? "Damn the Ask Dao Sect!"

The Imperial Advisor's eyes darkened as he analyzed how to deal with the Ask Dao Sect: "To date, the Ask Dao Sect has blocked the path of our Great Yu three times."

"During the Qingzhou Grand Ceremony, a cultivator from the Ask Dao Sect made a move, but due to the influence of the national destiny, the identity of this Ask Dao Sect cultivator could not be ascertained."

"Secondly, there was a Golden Core stage disciple named Lu Yang who saw through Huang Ming's identity, who was planted in the Corpse Driving Sect."

"Finally, it was the Silent Daoist, the sect Sect Master of the Ask Dao Sect, who set up the trap with his own body and captured Dawn."

"These three must die. Let's start with Lu Yang, who has the lowest rank. If our Great Yu doesn't take action soon, we'll be laughed at by Great Xia and the Da Gan hiding somewhere!"

Both Dayu and Daqian have the intention of replacing Daxia. They are competitors. The Grand Preceptor has repeatedly searched for Daqian's hiding place, hoping to make Daqian and Daxia fight to the death so that Dayu can benefit from it.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

The Imperial Advisor ordered his subordinate, "Go and find out where this young disciple named Lu Yang is now. If you can kill him, then kill him."

"Yes!"

After his subordinates left, the Imperial Advisor pondered. According to the information he had received, a third force had appeared during the Battle of Hanshui City. This third force was a celestial being who called himself the Supreme Heavenly Venerable of the Heavenly Court, and he defeated Wu Youdao and his two companions.

"What exactly is the origin of this Heavenly Court Sect, and who is the Bean Celestial Venerable?"

The Imperial Preceptor, a scholar of Celestial Person, had thoroughly investigated the current power structure and had never heard of the Heavenly Court Religion, let alone the Bean Celestial Venerable.

"This Heavenly Court Cult seems to have appeared out of nowhere; it's strange."

"Why did the Heavenly Court Sect intervene to stop Wu Youdao, and also set its sights on the power of the nation's destiny?"

Five days later, the subordinates reported on their work.

"Have you found Lu Yang?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Did you kill him?"

"This..."

"Can't you even kill a mere Golden Core cultivator?!" The Grand Preceptor was clearly enraged, dissatisfied with his subordinates' work efficiency. If everyone had this attitude, how could the Great Yu Dynasty ever be restored?

The subordinate was on the verge of tears. "Sir, Lu Yang is already the acting Sect Master."

"Um?"

The Imperial Preceptor thought he had misheard. Although he looked down on the Ask Dao Sect, he couldn't believe that a Golden Core cultivator had fallen so low as to become the acting Sect Master.

He was unwilling to touch the Silent Daoist because the Silent Daoist was the Sect Master, too conspicuous, and taking action would easily lead to mistakes.

Now that Lu Yang has become the acting Sect Master, he must have many people protecting him, so taking action rashly would be unwise.

"According to the information I've gathered, this matter involves a power struggle within the Ask Dao Sect. The Ask Dao Sect's power has been held by a cultivator named Yun Zhi for many years, who is the de facto Sect Master. Yun Zhi is the eldest disciple of the Silent Daoist, but his cultivation level is unknown. The Silent Daoist is unwilling to let Yun Zhi hold power for too long and undermine his authority, so he appointed his youngest disciple Lu Yang, as the acting Sect Master."

The Imperial Advisor sneered, "You're looking at the problem too superficially. Lu Yang is just a Golden Core cultivator; how could he possibly compete with his senior sister for power? It's obvious that the Ask Dao Sect anticipated my move against Lu Yang and made him the acting Sect Master ahead of time, using this opportunity to protect him!"

"Let me ask you this: Did Lu Yang become the acting Sect Master because of what happened after he returned from Hanshui City?"

The Celestial Person were astonished and their admiration for the Imperial Advisor grew even stronger. "Your Excellency is wise! That man named Lu Yang is the acting sect Sect Master who returned from Hanshui City!"

They were willing to follow the Imperial Advisor precisely because he possessed extraordinary talent and could calculate everything without fail!

The Imperial Advisor revealed a knowing expression. "Hmph, there aren't that many coincidences in this world; there's always a scheme behind them."

"Then what about Lu Yang..."

"Kill! They must kill them!"

"So what if the Ask Dao Sect plotted against my Great Yu's revenge? Could they possibly protect a mere Golden Core cultivator?"

"I want the Ask Dao Sect to know, and the whole world to know, that before absolute power, any scheme is utterly futile!"

The subordinates were overjoyed upon hearing this. They could already imagine the stunned, furious, yet helpless expression on the faces of the Ask Dao Sect members after they killed Lu Yang!

"I've also learned that the Ask Dao Sect will hold an Ask Dao Sect celebration in two months to commemorate its 120,000th anniversary. Many forces will be invited, so we can take this opportunity to enter!"

The Ask Dao Sect strict defenses and rigorous entry and exit checks, only relaxing them slightly during large-scale events like this.

"Such a thing is true." The Grand Preceptor's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his lips. "It seems that destiny truly belongs to Great Yu."

"The Ask Dao Sect has been established for 120,000 years; it's time for it to perish."

He casually uttered a single sentence, effectively Ask Dao Sect.

If they can't even handle a mere Ask Dao Sect, what right does their Great Yu have to talk about restoration?

At this time, Lu Yang was unaware that he had been targeted by the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yu Kingdom and placed on the kill list.

This is actually a misunderstanding caused by information asymmetry.

At the Qingzhou Grand Ceremony, Venerable Tianzai could have escaped, but he was defeated by the senior sister summoned by Lu Yang.

In Hanshui City, Wu Youdao and his two companions were about to obtain the power of the nation's destiny when they were stopped by the Immortal Fairy within Lu Yang's body, who also captured the three of them.

The paper crane flying towards the Silent Daoist in Dingxin City was written by Lu Yang.

If the Grand Preceptor of the Great Yu Kingdom had known that these three matters were all related to Lu Yang would have been on the kill list long ago, and there would have been no need to wait until today.

Even if Lu Yang knew he was on the kill list, he wouldn't care too much.

He has more important things to deal with now.

"Senior Sister, you mean I'm to go to the palace for a meeting as the acting Sect Master?"

The second update will be at 11 PM.
