Chapter 467 -466: Kill Lu Yang First_1

New unoccupied caverns submerged in spiritual energy where the Great Yu’s monks began to move things out from their storage rings in order to decorate their new cave worlds.

Even palaces could be moved out of storage rings. Quickly, grand and magnificent palaces stood erect among the desolate cave worlds.

Next to a palace was an unnoticeable thatched cottage. It was the dwelling place of the Imperial Teacher.

The Imperial Teacher preferred a simplistic lifestyle, so his living quarters were very low-key and simple.

Sitting on a small stool, the Imperial Teacher had deep, profound eyes, like an ancient well, inscrutable to the end — the image of a sage planning strategies behind the scenes.

“Safe at last.”

“How shameful it is to be forced to relocate by the Seek Dao Sect!”

He was none other than the second Imperial Teacher of Great Yu, the inheritor and champion of Great Yu’s glory. Several emperors have become revered leaders under his tutelage.

The first Imperial Teacher had two distinguished disciples — his eldest disciple conquered all four corners, establishing the Great Yu dynasty and was later hailed as the first Emperor Yu, whereas he was the second disciple of the first Imperial Teacher.

He was not just the second Imperial Teacher, but also the Junior Brother of the first Emperor Yu. Who in the world would dare disrespect him!

His cultivation level was extremely terrifying. He single-handedly suppressed six cultivators who were at the Transcendence Tribulation stage.

All these were caused by Daoist Buyu’s scheming which led to Poxiao’s capture and the leak of the cave’s location.

Even his subordinates showed anger. A mere sect daring to challenge the splendor of a dynasty: “Damned Seek Dao Sect!”

The Imperial Teacher’s eyes darkened as he analyzed how to deal with the Seek Dao Sect. “So far, the Seek Dao Sect has thrice obstructed the path of Great Yu.”

“During the Qingzhou grand ceremony, a monk from the Seek Dao Sect made a move, but under the influence of the State Destiny, we could not identify this Seek Dao Sect cultivator.”

“Then there’s a Junior Disciple named Lu Yang from the Golden Core Stage who identified Huang Ming, who was deployed in the Corpse Chasing Sect.”

“Lastly, there’s Daoist Buyu, the Sect Leader of Seek Dao Sect, who set a trap and captured Poxiao.”

“These three must die. Starting with Lu Yang, who has the lowest status, if Great Yu does not make a move, we will become the laughingstock of Great Xia, let alone Great Qian who is hiding someplace.”

Great Yu and Great Qian both intended to replace Great Xia, and they were in competition. The Imperial Teacher had tried several times to find out where Great Qian was hiding, hoping that Great Qian and Great Xia would fight and both get hurt, thereby enabling Great Yu to profit from it.

Regrettably, he found nothing.

The Imperial Teacher ordered his subordinate, “Go check on this Junior Disciple called Lu Yang. Find out where he is now, and if possible, kill him.”

“Yes, sir!”

After his subordinate left, the Imperial Teacher thought. According to the information he received, a third party appeared during the Battle of Hanshui City — an immortal who called himself the Supreme Dou Tianzun of Heaven’s Court, who defeated all three of Wu Youdao.

“What is the origin of this Heaven’s Court? And who is Dou Tianzun?”

The Imperial Teacher, being a scholarly immortal, was rather clear about the current power distribution, but he had never heard of Heaven’s Court or Dou Tianzun.

“This Heaven’s Court seems to have sprung up out of the blue. How strange.”

“Why did Heaven’s Court intervene to stop Wu Youdao and why has it set its sights on the State Destiny?”

Five days later, his subordinate reported back.

“Did you find Lu Yang?”

“Reporting to the Imperial Teacher, yes we did.”

“Did you kill him?”

“Well…”

“You couldn’t even kill a Golden Core Stage Junior Cultivator?!” The Imperial Teacher was clearly irate. He was disgruntled by his subordinate’s work efficiency. If everyone had this attitude, how could Great Yu be restored!

His subordinate was on the verge of tears. “Sir, Lu Yang has become the Acting Sect Master.”

“What?”

The Imperial Teacher thought he had heard wrong. Despite his disdain for the Seek Dao Sect, he didn’t expect them to be in such a predicament that a Golden Core Stage Junior Cultivator was appointed as the Acting Sect Master.

He refrained from acting against Daoist Buyu because Daoist Buyu was the Sect Leader, too conspicuous, and action against him would likely lead to mistakes.

Now that Lu Yang has become the Acting Sect Master, there would certainly be many people protecting him. Acting rashly would be unwise.

“According to the information I gathered, this involves a power struggle within the Seek Dao Sect. The power of the Seek Dao Sect has been dominated for years by a monk named Yun Zhi, who is essentially the Sect Leader. Yun Zhi is Daoist Buyu’s Eldest Disciple, her cultivation level is unknown, but Daoist Buyu did not want Yun Zhi to hold power for a long time and render him a puppet, so he had his Junior Disciple Lu Yang to be the Acting Sect Master.”

The Imperial Teacher chuckled: “You are looking at the problem too superficially. Lu Yang is merely at the Golden Core Stage, how can he compete with his Senior Sister for power? It’s clear that the Seek Dao Sect has anticipated my intention to act against Lu Yang and had him appointed as Acting Sect Master in advance to protect him!”

“Let me ask you, did Lu Yang become the Acting Sect Master right after he returned from Hanshui City?”

His subordinate was astounded and began to admire the Imperial Teacher even more. “You are indeed insightful, sir. That guy Lu Yang indeed became the Acting Sect Master after returning from Hanshui City!”

They followed the Imperial Teacher because he had an extraordinary talent for strategy, leaving nothing to chance!

The Imperial Teacher took on an air of understanding. “Hmph! No coincidences happen this often in the world. There are always calculations behind them.”

“So how about that Lu Yang…”

“Kill! He must be killed!”

“A mere Seek Dao Sect… even if they have foreseen Great Yu’s retaliation, could they protect a lowly Golden Stage Cultivator?”

“I will make the Seek Dao Sect and all the people in the world realize that in the face of absolute power, any plot is futile!”

His subordinate was overjoyed. He could already imagine the look on the Seek Dao Sect’s faces after they killed Lu Yang — dumbfounded, enraged, but helpless!

“I have also gathered that the Seek Dao Sect will hold a sect celebration in two months to mark its 120,000th anniversary. Many different powers will be invited to the event, and we could use this chance to infiltrate the sect!”

The Seek Dao Sect had tight security measures, strict checks for entry and exit. Only during large scale events like these did they let their guard down.

“There’s such a thing, huh.” The Imperial Teacher’s eyes sparkled with a smile creeping around his lips. “It seems that fate is indeed on the side of Great Yu.”

“On its 120,000th anniversary, it will be time for the Seek Dao Sect to be destroyed.”

He casually threw out a line, sentencing the Seek Dao Sect to death.

If they couldn’t even handle the Seek Dao Sect, how could they talk about restoring Great Yu?

…

Meanwhile, Lu Yang was oblivious to the fact that he had been targeted by the Imperial Teacher of Great Yu and had been put on a hit list.

Actually, it was a misunderstanding caused by the asymmetry of information.

During the Qingzhou grand finale, the Heavenly Calamity Sovereign would have been able to escape, but was defeated by the Eldest Senior Sister summoned by Lu Yang.

At Hanshui City, Wu Youdao and the others were about to gain the power of the State Destiny, but they were stopped by Fairy Eternity who lived inside Lu Yang and who also caught Wu Youdao and his companions.

In Steadfast City, the paper crane that flew towards Daoist Buyu was instructed by Lu Yang.

If Imperial Teacher of Great Yu had known these three incidents were related to Lu Yang, Lu Yang would have been on the hit list long ago, and they certainly would not have waited until today.

Even if Lu Yang knew that he had been put on a hit list, he wouldn’t care too much.

He had more important things to deal with now.

“Eldest Senior Sister, are you saying that as the Acting Sect Master, I have to go to the palace for a meeting?”
