No matter how fast the Five Poisons Sect’s rebellion was, there was one thing Lu Yuan was certain of.

That was, he could not let this demonic sect succeed.

Otherwise, with the grudges between him and the Five Poisons Sect, once the situation stabilized, they would never let him off.

As such,

It was only natural for him to take advantage of this opportunity when the sect was just starting to cause trouble and suppress them ruthlessly.

Rebellion, right?

Inborn, right?

‘I want to see what kind of waves your Five Poisons Sect can make in Shaoyang Prefecture while I am around!’

After recovering from the initial shock, at this moment, Lu Yuan instantly realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

The rebellion caused by the Five Poisons Sect would inevitably sweep across the entire Dongting Prefecture.

And in this chaos, he, who commanded tens of thousands of elite soldiers and was already a first-class martial artist with the backing of the entire court, finally had the opportunity to show off his abilities.

The advanced martial arts and Divine Blood Variants he had been longing for, might now be within reach.

As for whether there would be any danger in facing the Five Poisons Sect head-on,

Lu Yuan felt that, at the first-class level and below, with his current strength having refined three bizarre meridians and having a large army to protect him, he was more than safe.

“As for encountering an Inborn, let alone the Five Poisons Sect’s Grandmaster, after assassinating Wuyang Marquis, there might not even be enough strength left to make a move.

Given such a change in Dongting Prefecture, the court will definitely not sit idly by.

Maybe it won’t be long before Marquis of Wuan Bai Mengyang arrives hastily to settle the overall situation in Dongting Prefecture.

This Marquis is said to be a second-level Inborn expert, whose strength cannot be compared to that of a first-level Inborn like Wuyang Marquis.

With Wuan Marquis present, the Five Poisons Sect won’t be able to make any waves.”

Lu Yuan speculated in his heart, and felt much more at ease.

It had never been heard before that the Five Poisons Sect possessed an Inborn Grandmaster. The sudden appearance of one now probably meant that they had recently broken through.

As for the emperor of Shu State, Li Xiong, he had just broken through to Inborn last year.

The two newly-birthed Inborn assassinating an old-timer Inborn, even if they managed to succeed by a fluke, Lu Yuan didn’t believe that they wouldn’t have to pay a price.

The facts also proved this point.

According to the news from the prefectural government, on the night of the assassination, besides the death of Wuyang Marquis and many innocent people caught in the crossfire,

the assassins also left behind four corpses, two from Shu State and two from the Five Poisons Sect, all of whom were first-class martial artists.

First-class martial artists are not common.

The Five Poisons Sect originally only had four, and now there might only be one left since another has become an Inborn.

At this point, losing two first-class members dealt a devastating blow to the Five Poisons Sect.

“So before Wuyang Marquis died, he fought back desperately, causing pain to the assassins.

Besides the corpses of the four first-class martial artists, it is estimated that those who survived, including the two Inborn who executed the assassination, also suffered injuries.”

Otherwise, if the two Inborn Grandmasters were unharmed, why would they have to flee immediately after the assassination that night?

With the combined strength of the two Grandmasters and the assistance of others, their intimidation would be no less than tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

They could have taken advantage of the situation to continue assassinating the Prefect and other officials in the city, completely paralyzing the central heart of the court in Dongting Prefecture.

But they didn’t do that.

Such an outcome would not be due to kindness. Therefore, there was only one conclusion left.

Their condition was very poor. They were afraid that if they stayed and faced the court’s counterattack, more people would die and fall, so they had to withdraw.”

Putting oneself in another’s shoes, as a cautious cultivator of longevity, Lu Yuan could naturally deduce some of the thoughts of the assassins.

And after deducing, he was naturally overjoyed.

The top combat strength of the Five Poisons Sect had been severely damaged, and they would need to heal for a short period of time, rendering them unable to take action.

Meanwhile, the Wuyang Marquis of the prefectural government was dead, along with a first-class official martial artist in the city.

The two strongest Inborn Grandmasters in Dongting Prefecture, one after the other, were retired. The other first-class Grandmasters were also severely damaged.

Apart from the Wuyang Marquis and the Five Poisons Sect, the other first-class forces in Dongting Prefecture had average heritage. The highest mental techniques within the sect could only cultivate to the extent of one or two bizarre meridians.

After all, this prefecture belonged to the pioneering prefectures of Da Yue, which had been developing for hundreds of years and had never been prosperous.

The sects established here were also relatively new, with a heritage of only a few hundred years. They couldn’t compare to those sects with a history of thousands of years in other parts of Yue.

With Lu Yuan’s current practice of the fourth bizarre meridian, and his inner strength refined by the mysterious jade piece, even without the corresponding first-class moves, he could already suppress the ordinary first-class martial artists in the prefecture.

“So, after calculating all these factors, doesn’t that mean I have become the strongest martial artist in Dongting Prefecture?” Lu Yuan was somewhat incredulous.

He never thought that he would become the number one in Dongting Prefecture in such a way.

“I must remain steady, it is still necessary to be steady. My position as number one is just a temporary one, like a monkey that becomes king in the absence of a tiger in the mountains. I must not really think of myself as number one, and I should remain low-key when it’s necessary.” Lu Yuan warned himself secretly, but the joy could not be hidden.

While he said so, this was still the first place, after all.

He didn’t care much about the title itself, but the benefits brought by this temporary number one position were worth his attention.

The simplest point..
