Goddess Atlas, Starting from the Queen

Chapter 72: Bastard! Who dares to ruin my plans?

After Lu Ming attacked once, he did not attack again. At this time, both the personal guards of Xiaoyao Palace and the killers of Baihua Tower stood in place, not daring to move.

Neither side knew what was going on with this Grandmaster.

Lu Ming then coldly said to the assassins from Baihua Tower, "Go back and tell your master that Xiaoyao Palace is under my protection!"

Hearing this, Dongfang Liyue didn't hesitate at all and directly told the assassins from Baihua Tower, "Retreat!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Dongfang Liyue left Xiaoyao Palace with a group of assassins from Baihua Tower.

After the assassins from Baihua Tower left, Li Yunfan still looked at the strange man in front of him with vigilance. He had followed the old King Xiaoyao for so many years, but he had never seen such a master before.

No one knows what the purpose of this master appearing in Xiaoyao Palace is.

Although he was wary of Lu Ming, Li Yunfan still bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, sir!"

Lu Ming did not reveal his identity. He just said, "Clean it up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming took a step forward and jumped onto the roof. Soon his figure disappeared into the darkness.

After Lu Ming disappeared, the palace guards present looked at each other.

At this time, a guard asked, "Commander, who was that gentleman just now?"

Li Yunfan replied: "I don't know either."

This……

The guards were stunned. Even their commander didn't recognize that person?
They thought that their commander knew that person. After all, he was a master. It would be impossible for a master to come to help Xiaoyao Palace for no reason, right?
Li Yunfan looked towards the inner courtyard and said, "Perhaps the king knows that person."

"Alright, clean up the bodies immediately. I'll report to the king."

After he finished speaking, Li Yunfan turned and headed towards the inner courtyard.

Lu Ming had already changed his face back to normal by this time. He sat on the stone bench in the yard, feeling the spiritual energy constantly flowing into his body.

This feeling of being nourished by spiritual energy made Lu Ming feel very comfortable.

Just as Lu Ming was about to continue practicing, Li Yunfan appeared at the gate of the yard.

Li Yunfan was slightly stunned when he saw the assassin's body in Lu Ming's yard.

He quickly came to his senses. Now that King Xiaoyao was an immortal, he could easily deal with assassins below the Grandmaster level. There was no need for him to make a fuss.

"My lord, the assassin has retreated."

Lu Ming said calmly, "Okay, have someone clean up the assassin's bodies."

Li Yunfan continued, "Your Majesty, a Grandmaster appeared in Xiaoyao Palace just now."

As the commander of Xiaoyao Palace, he must find out the identity of the master to ensure that the master is not here to cause trouble for Lu Ming.

Lu Ming said, "They are our own people, don't worry about them."

Hearing Lu Ming's words, Li Yunfan was stunned again.

own people?
When did Xiaoyao Palace win over a Grandmaster? How come he didn't know anything about it?

King Xiaoyao has been staying in the King Xiaoyao Palace these days and has never gone out. How could he have won over a master?
Li Yunfan thought that the master might want to learn immortal arts, so he took the initiative to join the Xiaoyao Palace.

When the old King Xiaoyao was alive, there were many masters and great masters who came to him to become his disciples and want to learn magic, but they were all rejected by the old King Xiaoyao.

Now that King Xiaoyao has recovered and learned the magic arts, it is normal for a master to come and join him.

However, the news that King Xiaoyao knows magic should not have spread yet, so how come a master came to join him so soon?
This made Li Yunfan feel a sense of crisis. Although Li Yunfan was loyal to the Xiaoyao Palace, he also had some of his own little thoughts.

As more and more powerful people come to Xiaoyao Palace, his status as the commander of the personal guards will become lower and lower, and he will be less and less valued by Xiaoyao King. Lu Ming glanced at Li Yunfan, who was distracted, and then asked, "Commander Li, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Yunfan came back to his senses, "No...it's okay, my king, I'll take my leave."

Li Yunfan then turned and left the inner courtyard, going to find the guards to clean up the bodies of the assassins in Lu Ming's yard.

……

Baihualou.

After Wu Qionggui returned to Baihua Tower, she went to the underground secret room and waited for Dongfang Liyue's return without saying a word.

Soon, Dongfang Liyue also entered the secret room. Seeing that Wu Qionggui had returned alive, Dongfang Liyue frowned slightly and wondered what King Xiaoyao was doing. Why did he let this old woman back?

Seeing Dongfang Liyue had also returned, Wu Qionggui immediately said, "Master, I am incompetent and failed to kill King Xiaoyao."

Hearing this, Dongfang Liyue's face showed no surprise at all. She said calmly, "I don't blame you. No one would have thought that Xiaoyao Palace actually had a Grandmaster. Report this matter to the Lord immediately."

"Yes, landlord."

Then Wu Qionggui turned around and left the secret room. Looking at Wu Qionggui's departing back, Dongfang Liyue finally understood why Lu Ming let Wu Qionggui go back.

Lu Ming was planning to use Wu Qionggui's mouth to tell the real owner of Baihua Tower the news that there was a master in Xiaoyao Palace.

If Wu Qionggui was killed directly, people might not believe what she said.

……

Lu Mansion.

Inside the room that was dim and bright.

A masked man stood behind the curtain, looking out the window, as if waiting for something.

At this time, the candlelight in the room flickered, and then a woman's voice sounded in the room.

"Bye...Bye, my Lord..."

Wu Qionggui's voice was clearly trembling. Hearing Wu Qionggui's tone, the man immediately had a bad premonition. He asked coldly, "Is that little bastard dead?"

Wu Qionggui didn't answer directly, but stammered, "Xiaoyao...Xiaoyao Palace...a...a Grand Master appeared."

Hearing this, the man suddenly released his true energy, directly knocking Wu Qionggui to the door.

After rolling twice on the ground, Wu Qionggui quickly steadied himself, knelt on the ground and crawled into the room.

The man said coldly: "So, you failed?"

Wu Qionggui was trembling and didn't dare to answer.

The man snorted coldly, "What a bunch of trash!"

"Grandmaster? Are you trying to make excuses for your failure?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a master-level pressure descended from the sky and pressed down on Wu Qionggui, making it difficult for Wu Qionggui to breathe.

Wu Qionggui said tremblingly, "I would never dare to deceive my Lord. That man can already use his true Qi to control objects. He is indeed a master. He killed everyone around me in an instant. If I hadn't fled the palace immediately, I'm afraid I would have..."

After hearing Wu Qionggui's words, the man couldn't help but clench his fist and punched out. A gust of wind from his fist instantly pierced through the pillar in the room, passed through the house, and left a huge hole in the wall of the room.

"Asshole! How dare someone ruin my plans?"

After a moment, the man calmed himself down and said to Wu Qionggui, "Investigate! Find out the identity of that Grandmaster immediately. I want to see who is so reckless as to ruin my plans."
