What happened to the Lu family could be said to have shaken the entire court.
All the officials in and out of Taiqian City were discussing.
"The Shadowless Sword Sect doesn't seem to have any enmity with the Lu family, right?”
"I wonder who ordered it?"
"I don't believe that Lu Ping 'an could kill a Myriad Phenomenon Realm expert.”
"Of course not. Even if a Tongxuan realm cultivator risked his life, he wouldn't be able to harm a Myriad Manifestation realm cultivator! The difference is too great!"
No one believed that Lu Ping 'an would be able to kill a middle stage Myriad Manifestation Realm expert.
However, it was a fact that the Shadowless Sword Sect was surrounded and killed by thousands of grandmasters!
"The Lu family's hidden power is too terrifying!”
"He easily destroyed a first-rate sect that had a Myriad Manifestation Realm expert!”
"3,000 Grandmasters…How did they manage to nurture them?”
" Looks like King Wu Nan is ambitious…"
Many of the officials were even more wary of the Lu Family. If the Lu Family had any disloyalty, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Great Gan Empire!
Imperial Palace, Cheng Qian Hall.
In the Crown Prince's residence.
Yang Wuji gathered his subordinates and aides.
There were civil officials, generals, and even famous experts in the martial world!
It could be said that there were many talents and experts.
There was a young Fu Gongsun Ming in the civil service, and a general in the military service, Zhong Zhentao, who guarded Peking University.
He also had the support of the three great forces in the martial world, the Snow Sword Manor, the Heaven Saber Sect, and the Hundred Poisons Sect!
And this was only some of the forces on the surface, not counting the fact that Prime Minister Liu Xun was also on the Crown Prince's side.
Sweeping his gaze across the crowd, Yang Wuji's brows carried a sense of pride.
With such great power, who was qualified to compete with him for the throne?
Needless to say, he had the greatest supporter, the old Emperor, behind him!
Even if the old Emperor did not have much time left, once he passed away, the other Princes would probably make some strange movements.
But Yang Wuji was full of confidence!
"So what if Imperial Father is no longer around? What do you have to compete with me?”
"But the Lu family is a big problem…"
Yang Wuji's face sank slightly when he thought of the annihilation of the Shadowless Sword Sect.
No matter what, the Shadowless Sword Sect was a first-rate sect. They had two powerful experts in the Myriad Phenomenon Realm.
Compared to the three great sects under his command, although they were slightly inferior, the difference was not too great!
But even so, they were still wiped out by the Lu family with lightning speed!
Even the Grand Elder of the Myriad Manifestation Realm could not escape death.
Such a battle record could be said to have shocked the entire martial world!
Many martial arts forces were terrified. If they wanted to deal with the Lu family in the future, they would have to think twice!
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"King Wu Nan has actually nurtured so many experts in secret with malicious intentions!”
Yang Wuji's gaze swept across the crowd and finally landed on Gongsun Ming as he asked.
This was his assistant teacher in name, but in reality, he was also his number one strategist.
He could be called a think tank.
"Your Highness, I suggest that we investigate all the hidden forces of the Lu family first.”
"And that Third Prince of Wunan, I feel like he's not that simple! We must thoroughly investigate this person and find out his weakness…"
"As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.”
Gongsun Ming replied after pondering for a moment.
"Investigate thoroughly?"
Yang Wuji frowned slightly.
It was not that he had not sent people to investigate the Lu family.
However, Lu Ping 'an had appeared out of nowhere and suddenly revealed his shocking cultivation, catching everyone off guard!
As for the 3,000 grandmasters, they seemed to have appeared out of thin air. How could they investigate?
"It's too late to investigate now!”
Yang Wuji revealed a displeased expression.
"You should think about how to deal with the Lu family and weaken their military power!”
"This is the most important thing!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Gongsun Ming nodded hurriedly.”
The other strategists agreed.
"Your Highness is right. Only the army is the true main force.”
"As long as we can weaken the Lu family's military power, nothing else is worth worrying about!”
In their opinion, the most terrifying thing about the Lu Clan was that they controlled hundreds of thousands of troops!
Especially those elite troops, they were the most troublesome.
As for those Grandmasters and Jianghu forces, they did not take them to heart.
As the saying goes, 300 heavy armors could kill a grandmaster!
So what if there were 3,000 Grandmasters?
If a 100,000-strong elite army charged over, they would also be turned into meat paste!
Gongsun Ming sighed inwardly.
Did they forget about the defeat of the Nanman army not long ago?
Wasn't it caused by the assassination of many high-ranking generals?
Unfortunately, although he had outstanding wisdom and wholeheartedly assisted, the Crown Prince was headstrong and often did not listen to his opinions!
This made Gongsun Ming very helpless. He continued to advise, but other than angering the Crown Prince, it was useless.
"If we want to touch the military power of the Lu Family, we still need to discuss it with Father."”
……
Qingzhou, Qingyun City.
In King Jing's Mansion.
Yang Qingshu and the rest of his subordinates and aides were gathered together.
The fact that the Lu Family had destroyed a first-rate sect in one night had truly shocked Yang Qingshu!
"I have the Duke of Chen assisting me. Among the six ministries, there are also many ministers from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites secretly supporting me!”
"In the army, we also have Marquis Martial Yang's help!”
" Unfortunately, we lack top-notch martial arts experts…"
Yang Qingshu sighed inwardly.
Even though he had bribed a few of the pugilistic world's factions, he was still far from being able to compare to those first-rate factions that possessed the strength of a martial arts magnate at the Myriad Manifestation Realm!
Currently, Yang Qingshu only had a single Omnipotent Realm expert by his side, Wave Breaking Saber Zhou Dewei.
A martial arts magnate at the level of a Myriad Manifestation Stage was not something that could be bought over with ordinary gold, silver, and jewelry.
Or they had done them a great favor.
Or they had a rare treasure that could move their hearts!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for such an expert to willingly become the imperial court's lackey.
This was also where Yang Qingshu's power was quite different from the Crown Prince's.
Now that he did not lack the support of civil officials in the court, Duke Chen and Marquis Martial Yang would support him greatly!
Even King You was willing to send his Heavenly Wolf Army.
The only thing they lacked was top-notch experts!
At this moment, Zhou De Wei said,"
"Your Highness, this old man believes that the Lu Clan is definitely not as simple as just three thousand Grandmasters!”
"Even the sect master of the Shadowless Sword Sect, who was at the intermediate stage of the Myriad Manifestation Realm, died there.”
"The top experts under the Lu family are far more terrifying than we imagined!”
Yang Qingshu's eyes were burning.
How could he not know this?
Among the 3,000 Grandmasters, there were definitely many Vajra Realm, Tongxuan Realm, and even Omnipotent Realm experts!
"We have to find a way to get the Lu family's support!”
Yang Qingshu thought that as long as he could get King Wu Nan's support, even if it was not in terms of military strength, he would be able to do it.
Borrowing the power of the Lu family's top experts was also like adding wings to a tiger!
