Da da da, da da da!
A horse carriage sped past on Dragon Capital's Vermillion Bird Street.
This carriage was six feet wide and eight feet high. It was made entirely out of ironwood and impervious to swords and spears.
The two horses pulling the carriage were unique to the fire horses of the Northern Lands. When running, they would be surrounded by raging flames, allowing them to travel thousands of miles in a day.
This carriage was exclusive to the Marquis of Yongping. The Raging Flames Horse was only produced in the north, and this carriage was personally made by the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.
As Lu Yu sat in the carriage, memories flooded into his mind like floodwaters.
In his previous life, he was a Daolord of the Netherworld and was in charge of the Eighteen Netherworld.
With a single saber in his hand, he had swept through all the realms. No one could stand up to him. He could be called the most powerful Daolord!
However, just as he was about to challenge the overlord, he was ambushed by his Dao-companion Shen Linglong along with over a hundred other Daolords. Together with the overlord, he died and his soul plummeted into the lower realms!
"Shen Linglong, you're too forgetful to be cultivating in the Dominating Refinement realm!"
"You had your meridians broken and your dantian destroyed." I used all of my spirit stones to get one Life Recovery Pill to help you cultivate again! "
"Your spirit root is weak and your talent is lacking. It was I who ran all the way to the Kunlun Divine Mountain and offended countless supreme experts, which was why I managed to gather the Spiritual Roots from the tree, allowing you to become a prodigy! "
"Your tribulation is critical, and your life is at stake. The world only knows that you, Shen Linglong, broke the heavenly thunder with a single finger, but did not know that I had withstood all the endless heavenly lightning! "
"How can there be a heartless person like you? You coveted my immortal equipment, and you actually took advantage of the time when I was challenging the Celestial Emperor to sneak attack me from behind, killing me!" It was time to kill! It should be killed! "
In Lu Yu's heart, it was as though there was a long dragon roaring.
On the tip of his finger, a sharp Qi pierced through the sturdy metal plate, emitting plumes of green smoke.
As if in response to the rage in Lu Yu's heart, a clap of thunder suddenly rang out in the clear sky.
"Pu!" "Uuu!"
The driver's horn sounded outside the carriage, causing the carriage to shake before coming to a stop.
"Young master, I deserve to die. "Somehow, this horse went crazy today!" The coachman whispered across the carriage.
Lu Yu said in a low voice, "It's fine, keep going!"
As the carriage continued its journey, Lu Yu's heart gradually calmed down.
Despite being ambushed by Shen Linglong, Lu Yu's soul did not scatter. Instead, he fell into the lower realms together with the Heaven Emperor!
Shen Linglong had joined forces with thirty other Daolords to set up a killing formation that seemed to be able to shake Heaven and Earth, tearing space apart and extinguishing all life.
However, the two of them were both peerless experts, yet they were able to survive in such a killing formation!
Coincidentally, when the two of them fell into the lower realms, they actually fell into the same body.
A child that had just died, two peerless experts had suddenly rushed into his body!
From the time he was born until now, Lu Yu had been minding his own business and fighting with the Celestial Emperor in the spiritual altar to the death. In the end, he had devoured the remnant soul of the Celestial Emperor, regaining his physical body.
"The Celestial Emperor is too despicable! He truly deserves to be called the ruler of the human race!"
Thinking of his old opponent, Lu Yu couldn't help sighing.
From his dried up soul, Lu Yu had already seen all sorts of dry memories.
In the endless universe, countless stars were floating on top of it.
There were countless living creatures on the stars at every moment. Mortal beings, martial artists, wild beasts, and demons lived within these stars.
The ruler of this universe was a dynasty known as the Great Yu Dynasty.
And Taikou, the master of the Great Yu Dynasty, was honored as the Celestial Emperor!
In his scattered memories, Lu Yu could see countless powerful Daolords bowing and worshipping to TaiGan!
If he didn't meet Lu Yu, he would still dominate the entire human race, and be reverently worshipped by countless people.
"Unfortunately, you met me."
With a cold expression, Lu Yu extended his finger and a faint golden flame appeared on his fingertip.
Compared to the front of the War God's Altar, each and every genius was emitting a dazzling golden light. The golden light emitted by this flame seemed to be much dimmer.
However, the two of them could not be compared in the same breath.
This was the Heavenly Emperor's Primordial Flame. It still existed after a single breath of time, and his soul still did not disperse.
However, at this moment, the soul of the Celestial Emperor was being devoured by Lu Yu. All of the ability of the Celestial Emperor was being taken away by Lu Yu.
"This is a good item. With this Origin True Fire, even if I meet Shen Linglong's killing array again, I can still fight my way out!"
Lu Yu withdrew the Primordial Flame from his fingertips. At the place where the Primordial Flame had touched, a hole had now been dissolved and wisps of green smoke were drifting about.
The mansion took up an extremely large area, over a thousand mu, and contained an exquisite garden. As the Marquis of Dazhou, the Yongping manor also had a guard of five hundred people, all of whom were elites selected from the northern army.
Long Jing was too big, and Lu Yu's horse carriage walked for almost an hour before finally returning to the Yongping Mansion.
Most of the residences on the 12 horizontal streets were aristocratic houses, so it was usually rather lively here.
"I haven't even accompanied my family in this life."
In Lu Yu's memories, because he had his mind shut, he only used up a little bit of his soul to maintain a normal life. Thus, in the eyes of outsiders, he was a fool.
Lu Yu was naturally dull and didn't like to talk.
It took a full month for someone to be able to read and write their name at the age of five.
After practicing martial arts at the age of seven, he had used an ordinary long fist technique for three years before finally being able to understand the essence of the technique.
Even when communicating with others, Lu Yu's words were halting, and he was unable to speak a single sentence fluently.
"In these seventeen years, because I was unable to release too much of my soul and consciousness due to fighting with the remnant soul, I was actually treated like a fool!"
"My father was a godly warrior, yet he was mocked for having a useless son. According to his merits, he could be promoted to the rank of duke, and he could live in peace in the land of wealth. But father, for the sake of my glory and wealth, has never returned home after guarding the border for many years! "
"Mother has a gentle personality. Whenever Long Jing meets, those noble ladies would take me as their topic and mock and ridicule Mother. Mother has never mentioned it in the family, and she has suffered too much all these years! "
"In order to inherit our family business, sister dressed in armor and went up to kill the enemy at the age of fifteen. She never married in her fiancée!"
The only legitimate son of his actually wanted his entire family to protect him!
Thinking back to his experiences over the years, Lu Yu gradually clenched his fists.
In this lifetime, even though he didn't truly control his body, he felt the care of his family and the warmth of his home.
If he didn't have any family to take care of him, even if he devoured too many souls, this body would have probably starved to death! Frozen to death!
The main gate of the Yongping Mansion.
Lu Yu walked down from the carriage and saw that several carriages were parked in front of the Eternal Ping Mansion.
These carriages were filled with delicate boxes, and beside them was the coiling dragon flag. The people watching the carriage were also wearing brocade robes and carrying sabers. It seemed like their origins were not small.
"Young Master, you're back." The old steward stood by the door, sounding a little anxious.
Lu Yu sensed that something was wrong and asked, "Uncle Zhong, whose carriage is at the door?"
The old steward quickly whispered, "Master, please go to the backyard. Please don't go to the main hall."
Lu Yu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
The old steward was stunned. His young master had never had such a reaction.
"Speak!" Lu Yu shouted.
The old steward's forehead was covered in sweat. His voice was a bit shaky as he said, "It's someone from the palace. They said it's the emperor giving the first young miss a marriage."
Lu Yu frowned. There was actually such a thing.
Ye Zichen glanced at the guards. It seems like these were people from the palace.
Lu Yu coldly said, "Who does the Emperor want to marry my sister to?"
Lu Yu's face turned cold as he rushed into the mansion.
The old steward's face fell as he hurriedly followed, "Young master, don't be rash!"
The marquis' residence, the proper place!
When she was the first rank madame, Lu Yu's mother, Madam Yu Rou, knelt on the ground. He raised his head and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.
In front of Lady Yu Rou stood a few eunuchs. The leader, a red-clothed eunuch, held an imperial edict in his hand and looked arrogantly at Lady Yu Rou.
"Madam, accept the decree!" The eunuch said in a sharp voice.
Mistress Yurou hesitated for a moment before picking up the imperial edict with both hands. She then stood up and asked anxiously, "Eunuch, didn't the Emperor go to war? Why was he suddenly bestowed a marriage?"
The eunuchs looked at each other and waved the horsetail whisk in their hands. They just looked at Lady Yu Rou without saying a word.
Mistress Yu Rou's long, shapely eyebrows creased, and she immediately called for the maidservants by her side, giving each of the eunuchs a gold ingot.
After the eunuchs received the money, their expressions softened.
Mistress Yurou's face turned pale. She did not expect such a thing to happen.
Lu Lengshuang was already twenty-four this year, the age at which marriage was discussed. Naturally, Lady Yu Rou was especially concerned about it, but she absolutely did not expect it to be the Son of Heaven bestowing the marriage.
She had never thought that the target of the Son of Heaven's marriage was the current King Wei!
It would be fine if he was an outsider, but as for King Wei, he absolutely could not let him marry his own daughter!
If this Wei Wang was a beast, then it was all to his advantage!
Fourth prince Yang Yishan, when he was three years old, was conferred the title of King of Wei and was exiled from the palace to build a mansion!
At the age of ten, he had killed the maid that took care of him, and scattered her ashes on the stairs for others to trample on!
All the girls that were robbed had no chance of surviving. Even if he was still alive, his fate would be too horrible to look at.
Mistress Yurou's entire body was trembling. She would never allow her daughter to marry a bastard like this!
"This eunuch, Shuang'er comes from the military, so she can't be compared to ordinary women who take good care of her. If she marries His Highness the Duke of Wei, she might have a breach of etiquette." Furthermore, she is also a general of the Dragon Martial Army, I am afraid that she will not be able to get away from it. " Mistress Yurou hesitated for a moment before replying.
The red-clothed eunuch laughed coldly, as if he had already seen through Lady Yu Rou's intentions. He said in a high-pitched voice, "The Dragon Martial Army is the Imperial Guards. If Lu Lengshuang marries His Highness King Wei, that will be her fortune. In the future, when she becomes an imperial concubine, she will enjoy endless wealth and glory. "
Mistress Yurou insisted, "The Fate Wife still needs my daughter to come back and discuss it!"
The red eunuch waved his hand. "There's no need. Your daughter has already been invited to the palace by Prince Wei. Madame, please wait and carry her grandson!"
Mistress Yurou's expression changed and she actually asked loudly, "What did you do to Shuang'er!"
It seemed that Mistress Yurou's tone had suddenly turned forceful, causing the eunuchs to feel extremely dissatisfied.
The red-robed eunuch shouted in a shrill voice, "The King Wei has taken a fancy to your daughter. That is a blessing your family has earned from all the kindness of your ancestors. Don't give me face and refuse to take it!"
Lady Yu Rou's eyes were filled with anxiety. "I am the first rank madame of the imperial court, how dare you speak to me like that! Just what have you done to Shuang'er!? "
The red-clothed eunuch laughed arrogantly, "Don't even mention you're a first rank celebrity, you've even been beaten by a first rank official! Bitch, I think you want to be whipped! "
After the red eunuch finished speaking, he took out a whip from his sleeve and flung it towards Mistress Yurou!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

A horse carriage sped past on Dragon Capital's Vermillion Bird Street.
This carriage was six feet wide and eight feet high. It was made entirely out of ironwood and impervious to swords and spears.
The two horses pulling the carriage were unique to the fire horses of the Northern Lands. When running, they would be surrounded by raging flames, allowing them to travel thousands of miles in a day.

"Shen Linglong, you're too forgetful to be cultivating in the Dominating Refinement realm!"
"You had your meridians broken and your dantian destroyed." I used all of my spirit stones to get one Life Recovery Pill to help you cultivate again! "
"Your spirit root is weak and your talent is lacking. It was I who ran all the way to the Kunlun Divine Mountain and offended countless supreme experts, which was why I managed to gather the Spiritual Roots from the tree, allowing you to become a prodigy! "
"Your tribulation is critical, and your life is at stake. The world only knows that you, Shen Linglong, broke the heavenly thunder with a single finger, but did not know that I had withstood all the endless heavenly lightning! "
"How can there be a heartless person like you? You coveted my immortal equipment, and you actually took advantage of the time when I was challenging the Celestial Emperor to sneak attack me from behind, killing me!" It was time to kill! It should be killed! "
In Lu Yu's heart, it was as though there was a long dragon roaring.
On the tip of his finger, a sharp Qi pierced through the sturdy metal plate, emitting plumes of green smoke.
As if in response to the rage in Lu Yu's heart, a clap of thunder suddenly rang out in the clear sky.

The driver's horn sounded outside the carriage, causing the carriage to shake before coming to a stop.

Frozen to death!The main gate of the Yongping Mansion.Lu Yu walked down from the carriage and saw that several carriages were parked in front of the Eternal Ping Mansion.These carriages were filled with delicate boxes, and beside them was the coiling dragon flag. The people watching the carriage were also wearing brocade robes and carrying sabers. It seemed like their origins were not small."Young Master, you're back." The old steward stood by the door, sounding a little anxious.Lu Yu sensed that something was wrong and asked, "Uncle Zhong, whose carriage is at the door?"The old steward quickly whispered, "Master, please go to the backyard. Please don't go to the main hall."Lu Yu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"The old steward was stunned. His young master had never had such a reaction."Speak!" Lu Yu shouted.The old steward's forehead was covered in sweat. His voice was a bit shaky as he said, "It's someone from the palace. They said it's the emperor giving the first young miss a marriage."Lu Yu frowned. There was actually such a thing.Ye Zichen glanced at the guards. It seems like these were people from the palace.Lu Yu coldly said, "Who does the Emperor want to marry my sister to?"Lu Yu's face turned cold as he rushed into the mansion.The old steward's face fell as he hurriedly followed, "Young master, don't be rash!"The marquis' residence, the proper place!When she was the first rank madame, Lu Yu's mother, Madam Yu Rou, knelt on the ground. He raised his head and an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.In front of Lady Yu Rou stood a few eunuchs. The leader, a red-clothed eunuch, held an imperial edict in his hand and looked arrogantly at Lady Yu Rou."Madam, accept the decree!" The eunuch said in a sharp voice.Mistress Yurou hesitated for a moment before picking up the imperial edict with both hands. She then stood up and asked anxiously, "Eunuch, didn't the Emperor go to war? Why was he suddenly bestowed a marriage?"The eunuchs looked at each other and waved the horsetail whisk in their hands. They just looked at Lady Yu Rou without saying a word.Mistress Yu Rou's long, shapely eyebrows creased, and she immediately called for the maidservants by her side, giving each of the eunuchs a gold ingot.After the eunuchs received the money, their expressions softened.Mistress Yurou's face turned pale. She did not expect such a thing to happen.Lu Lengshuang was already twenty-four this year, the age at which marriage was discussed. Naturally, Lady Yu Rou was especially concerned about it, but she absolutely did not expect it to be the Son of Heaven bestowing the marriage.She had never thought that the target of the Son of Heaven's marriage was the current King Wei!It would be fine if he was an outsider, but as for King Wei, he absolutely could not let him marry his own daughter!If this Wei Wang was a beast, then it was all to his advantage!Fourth prince Yang Yishan, when he was three years old, was conferred the title of King of Wei and was exiled from the palace to build a mansion!At the age of ten, he had killed the maid that took care of him, and scattered her ashes on the stairs for others to trample on!All the girls that were robbed had no chance of surviving. Even if he was still alive, his fate would be too horrible to look at.Mistress Yurou's entire body was trembling. She would never allow her daughter to marry a bastard like this!"This eunuch, Shuang'er comes from the military, so she can't be compared to ordinary women who take good care of her. If she marries His Highness the Duke of Wei, she might have a breach of etiquette." Furthermore, she is also a general of the Dragon Martial Army, I am afraid that she will not be able to get away from it. " Mistress Yurou hesitated for a moment before replying.The red-clothed eunuch laughed coldly, as if he had already seen through Lady Yu Rou's intentions. He said in a high-pitched voice, "The Dragon Martial Army is the Imperial Guards. If Lu Lengshuang marries His Highness King Wei, that will be her fortune. In the future, when she becomes an imperial concubine, she will enjoy endless wealth and glory. "Mistress Yurou insisted, "The Fate Wife still needs my daughter to come back and discuss it!"The red eunuch waved his hand. "There's no need. Your daughter has already been invited to the palace by Prince Wei. Madame, please wait and carry her grandson!"Mistress Yurou's expression changed and she actually asked loudly, "What did you do to Shuang'er!"It seemed that Mistress Yurou's tone had suddenly turned forceful, causing the eunuchs to feel extremely dissatisfied.The red-robed eunuch shouted in a shrill voice, "The King Wei has taken a fancy to your daughter. That is a blessing your family has earned from all the kindness of your ancestors. Don't give me face and refuse to take it!"Lady Yu Rou's eyes were filled with anxiety. "I am the first rank madame of the imperial court, how dare you speak to me like that! Just what have you done to Shuang'er!? "The red-clothed eunuch laughed arrogantly, "Don't even mention you're a first rank celebrity, you've even been beaten by a first rank official! Bitch, I think you want to be whipped! "After the red eunuch finished speaking, he took out a whip from his sleeve and flung it towards Mistress Yurou!
