Chapter 351: Chapter 195: Reversal of Strength_3

The difference between the two and the shock given to the Miao people is completely in different levels.

So, when Lu Yuan heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Then I will leave this matter to the old lord.”

Yan Wangqiu said, “I will take care of this affair.”

Having set the strategy, Lu Yuan and Yan Wangqiu started their respective activities.

Yan Wangqiu sent his trusted disciple to Jianan Prefecture to invite Su Xuange.

On Lu Yuan’s side, he continued to drag out the Five Poisons Sect and wore down their patience.

Even if the Five Poisons Sect sometimes retreated, he still refused to meet and talk. He continued to grind time.

Yan Wangqiu was right. The shock value of having three grandmasters vs. two grandmasters is entirely different for the Five Poisons Sect.

Before Su Xuange’s arrival, Lu Yuan would not consider meeting Lan Zhaoyun.

After all, going from Dongting to Jianan Prefecture, it takes less than a month for a round trip if the speed is fast.

Dragging on for another month at this point wouldn’t be too long.

On the Five Poisons Sect side, let them continue to suffer for a while.

While Lu Yuan was waiting for Su Xuange to arrive, new news came in from the Imperial Court.

After more than half a year of negotiation, Liang finally agreed to the request for peace talks.

Not only that, after the Imperial Court agreed to cede the northern three regions of Guangling Prefecture, Liang formed an alliance with the Imperial Court. They decided to send 200,000 troops south, aiming directly at Zhou’s southern Nanyang Prefecture. Thus, threatening the retreat route of the 300,000 troops in the north.

It seems that the continuous battles and the expansion of the territory between Zhou and Yue have already caused Liang’s anxiety, which led them to start interfering in the war between Zhou and Yue.

The war clouds between Zhou and Liang are slowly spreading.

On the side of the Imperial Court, its reaction was extremely quick after receiving successful peace talks.

After confirming that Liang had fulfilled the treaty and deployed heavy troops around Guangling Prefecture to the west to prepare for the war against the Zhou’s southern Nanyang army, the Imperial Court directly moved the 80,000 frontier troops of Guangling Prefecture to the south to join the 20,000 Forbidden army of the Capital. They are now in training, and it seems that they will be advancing westward in no time.

The most immediate response is that Lu Yuan has received constant urging from Yang Jing, asking whether he has broken through Innate or not?

And if he hasn’t, when will he break through?

As Yang Jing said, he broke through Innate a month ago and is now consolidating his realm.

Among the top ten grandmasters, the only one left is Qiao Kangquan, the owner of Guanhai Villa in Guangling Prefecture.

Now nine out of the ten grandmasters have gathered, with only Lu Yuan left.

At this time, the Imperial Court is already preparing a western expeditionary army. In at most three months, troops will be sent to siege the west and expel the Zhou people.

If Lu Yuan cannot break through Innate in this last period, the ten grandmasters will be missing one person.

At that time, the benefits promised to him by the Imperial Court would be gone.

After a long pondering on this urging, Lu Yuan finally decided to inform the Imperial Court that he had already broken through Innate.

It’s about time to face the cards. It’s no longer necessary to hide the news that he has broken through Innate.

The Five Poisons Sect is about to surrender, and the Zhou people are even more irreconcilable with the Imperial Court. Even if he wants to fish, he has no fishing ground.

On the contrary, the news of his breaking through Innate might create more deterrence if it is released.

Thus, a message recording his breakthrough of Innate was sent back to the Capital by a fast horse.

Not long after the message was sent, Lu Yuan received another reply that he had been waiting for.

The disciple who had been sent to Jiangxia Prefecture for more than three months had finally returned, and not just him; even the much-anticipated Elder Daoist Anqiu personally came back.

“At the beginning, we were right about Taoist Lu. In just one year of separation, fellow Daoist has broken through Innate and achieved success in martial arts, thus becoming a grandmaster in one region.”

In the reception hall, while receiving Anqiu, Lu Yuan had just sat down, took a sip of tea, and immediately greeted him with congratulations.

At the same time, Anqiu looked up and down at Lu Yuan, secretly admiring him.

Because compared to ordinary Innate grandmasters, that similar immortal spirit to cultivators on Taoist Lu’s body is getting richer.

However, after careful distinction, it is still a little different from cultivators and not as pure.

Therefore, for this reason, Elder Daoist Anqiu could only guess in his heart that the cultivation fate he obtained back then might be of great origin, thus resulting in such a vision.

But with this in mind, the elder daoist became even more happy.

The closer Lu Yuan gets to cultivators, the more reliable and useful the experimental data he produces will be.

By then, cultivating the Taiping Dao Book should be more convenient than ordinary martial artists.

‘With this momentum, he should not die as early as the other chosen pieces.’

Anqiu sighed secretly as he thought of the other experimental pieces he had found over the past year.

Since the Inescapable Meeting, he had returned to Liang and also selected a few top martial artists to practice the Taiping Dao Book.

However, these people couldn’t last half a year. They had only practiced the Taoist scriptures for a short period before dying of exhaustion.

Through these experiments, the Dan Ding Path became even more confident that under Innate, martial artists cannot support the cultivation of the Taiping Dao Book.

To experiment with the Taiping Dao Book, inborn grandmasters are needed.

But inborn grandmasters are so rare!

Within the entire Liang Country, there are only about ten of them.

All these people have an equal status to Anqiu and come from distinguished places.

To ask these people to test the short-lived martial art techniques of the Dan Ding Path, it can be said that even as one of the six major Dao Veins in the world, the Dan Ding Path is not worthy enough.

So, at a glance, the experiment had fallen into a deadlock, and the Dan Ding Path was worrying about what to do next.

Just when he was thinking about sleeping, someone brought him a pillow.

Initially, Lu Yuan who was just a casual piece of the layout surprisingly broke through Innate.

Not only did he break through Innate, but he also naively tried to practice the Taiping Dao Book.

Upon receiving the news, the Dan Ding Path was naturally overjoyed.
