He glared at Lu Yuan and said through gritted teeth, "Boy, how dare you play tricks on me!"
Lu Yuan shrugged and said with an innocent face: "Your Majesty, how can I say that this is a trick on you? The common people are just telling the truth."
"You..." The middle-aged man was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The woman in black robe covered her mouth and smiled softly, and said: "Your Majesty, since you already know the truth, please take it back. We will not send it away."
The middle-aged man's face was ashen. He glared at Lu Yuan fiercely, turned around and left.
The soldiers followed suit.
Lu Yuan looked at their leaving figures with a sneer on his lips.
"Hmph, you are still too young to fight me!"
The woman in black robe slowly took off her bamboo hat, revealing a face that would captivate a country. She was none other than the Nine Heavens Xuannv! She smiled sweetly, and her eyes were full of charm.
The middle-aged man, who was the current emperor, looked at it with eyes wide open and his mouth was almost watering. His original anger was instantly extinguished by this peerless beauty, leaving only surprise and greed.
"Ahem," Lu Yuan coughed deliberately, breaking the emperor's obsession, "Your Majesty, this is Cao Min's fiancée, Xuannv."
"Xuan Nu... a good name, she lives up to her name!" The emperor rubbed his hands, his eyes wandering over her body, wishing he could take her as his own right away.
"Your Majesty, you are so flattering." Xuannv bowed slightly, her posture was elegant, but there was a trace of imperceptible sarcasm.
Lu Yuan secretly laughed in his heart, this emperor is really a lustful ghost, he can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman. He continued: "Your Majesty, since you have met Cao Min's fiancée, Cao Min will leave first."
The emperor then came back to his senses, glanced at Xuannv with some reluctance, and said, "Well, in that case, I won't disturb you anymore."
Lu Yuan cupped his hands, took Xuannv and turned away, leaving the emperor and a group of soldiers in a mess.
When they were far away, Xuannv couldn't help but laugh and said: "You are really clever, you actually used me to deceive the emperor."
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows proudly: "Of course, who am I, Lu Yuan, I am invincible in the world!"
"Invincible? I think you have an invincible face, right?" Xuan Nu rolled her eyes at him, but there was a hint of a smile in her eyes.
The two chatted and laughed and returned to Lu Yuan's residence.
"Tell me, what trouble did you get into this time?" Xuan Nu asked.
Lu Yuan told her the whole story.
After hearing this, Xuannv frowned slightly: "This emperor is really greedy and wants to rob the Nine Heavens Xuannv Sutra."
"That's right," Lu Yuan curled his lips, "If I hadn't been so witty, I would have been arrested by him long ago."
"What are you going to do?" Xuannv asked.
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "I have to find a way to completely solve this trouble."
"What do you want to do?" Xuannv asked.
An evil smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips: "Since he wants to steal my things, then I will make him pay the price!"
In the next few days, Lu Yuan began to secretly investigate the emperor's background and look for his weaknesses.
At the same time, the emperor did not give up his coveting of the Nine Heavens Xuannv Sutra. He sent people around to inquire about Lu Yuan, hoping to find him and force him to hand over the scriptures.
However, Lu Yuan had already expected that he would do this and was prepared in advance.
One night, Lu Yuan sneaked into the palace and found the emperor's bedroom.
He entered the palace quietly and found that the emperor was sleeping with a concubine in his arms.
Lu Yuan sneered, walked to the bed, and lifted the quilt. "Ah!" Both the emperor and the concubine were frightened and looked at Lu Yuan in horror.
"You...who are you?" the emperor asked tremblingly.
"I'm here to take your life!" Lu Yuan said coldly.
The emperor was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy: "Spare my life! I will promise you anything!"
"It's too late!" After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he slapped the emperor on the chest.
The emperor screamed and died on the spot.
The concubine screamed in fright, and Lu Yuan knocked her unconscious with a palm.
Afterwards, Lu Yuan set a fire in the palace and left.
The next day, the entire imperial city fell into chaos.
The emperor was killed, the palace was burned, and the whole country was shocked!

Lu Yuan left the imperial city with Xuannv and headed to the next destination.
In a desolate desert, Lu Yuan and Xuannv walked side by side.
"Where do you plan to go next?" Xuannv asked.
Lu Yuan looked up at the sky and said, "Go find my next target."
"What goal?" Xuannv asked curiously.
Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously: "A goal that can make the world tremble!"
At this time, deep in the desert, an ancient ruins stood quietly, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
The figures of Lu Yuan and Xuannv gradually disappeared into the vast sea of sand...
The fierce flames licked the night sky, reflecting Lu Yuan's stern face. The emperor's palace was in ruins, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt food and fear. Lu Yuan's figure shuttled through the chaotic imperial city like a ghost, leaving a panicked scream and wailing behind him.
"Tsk, this emperor's palace is really vulgarly decorated." Lu Yuan commented disdainfully while avoiding the panicked palace maids and eunuchs. He casually picked up a piece of burnt jade Ruyi, looked at it carefully, and then threw it on the ground with disgust, "Tch, it's not even a good piece of jade."
He was not in a hurry to leave, but instead enjoyed the chaos directed by him with great interest. To him, the emperor's life was as worthless as an ant. His real target is the legendary Nine Heavens Xuannv Sutra.
After confirming that there was nothing of value in the palace, Lu Yuan calmly left the sea of fire.
Outside the city, Xuannv was waiting anxiously. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Yuan's figure walking out of the fire. "Are you okay?"
Lu Yuan chuckled lightly and dusted himself off, "What can happen to me? What can a mere emperor do to me?"
Xuannv rolled her eyes at him, "Stop bragging. If you kill the emperor, the entire empire will hunt you down."
"Chasing me? They must have the ability." Lu Yuan looked disdainful, "Besides, even if they come after me, they will only die."
"You..." Xuannv wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Lu Yuan, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's go to the next destination."
"Where to go?"
Lu Yuan smiled mysteriously, "A place more interesting than the palace."
They headed west and came to the legendary Desert of Death. The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the air was filled with suffocating heat waves.
"Are you sure you want to come here?" Xuannv wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Lu Yuan suspiciously, "This is a desert of death, even immortals dare not set foot easily." (End of Chapter)
