Thus, when Lu Bei enthusiastically launched the "Reward the Good and Punish the Evil" campaign, bad news about him began to spread rapidly throughout the Qingyun Inner Sect under the guidance of some people with ulterior motives.

Wherever the news reached, it caused shock.

Many warriors and monks were shocked and talked about it, full of envy.

"What? He actually has a divine weapon? This is too incredible!"

"The Demon Realm artifact, Shura Blood Ring, that name sounds incredible. No wonder that Passerby King, at the Diamond Realm, was able to stand up to the peak of Freedom. The artifact must have played a significant role."

"Of course not! Give me a complete divine weapon and I can chop down a group of Xiaoyao with my diamond body!"

"What are you thinking? I can tell you don't understand divine weapons. Your realm is too low to bring out the power of divine weapons. Moreover, your body can't withstand the terrifying power of a divine weapon when it explodes. With your initial Vajra cultivation, it would be difficult for you to be beaten with a divine weapon."

"You know so much, do you have a magical weapon at home?"

"Although my family doesn't have one, my great-grandfather was fortunate enough to visit the Middle-earth Divine Land and witnessed the power of the artifact. He was the one who told me about it."

"Humph, it's just hearsay!"

Some people started arguing about this.

But soon someone said loudly, "Everyone, it is said that this Passerby King's real name is Lu Bei, and he used to be a waiter. His rapid growth must be due to the magic weapon."

"He is just a waiter, but he can become so powerful. If this artifact were in our hands, we would definitely be more powerful than him."

"Hmph, how could a waiter like him get such a heaven-defying opportunity? I don't accept it." Finally, someone said this indignantly.

Someone immediately echoed him, "To be honest, brother, I'm not convinced either. Do you want us to team up and snatch it away from him?"

"Huh? I don't think the two of us can beat him."

"Don't be afraid. Actually, I have contacted many like-minded friends privately. We all can't stand Lu Bei's eccentric way of doing things and think that he is not worthy of holding that kind of artifact. So we want to gather together to kill people and steal the treasure."

"Is this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about that? After all, it's a divine weapon from the Demon Realm. We're using it as a pretext to subjugate the demonic weapon. Once we kill him, we can each decide who owns the artifact based on our own abilities."

"Besides, we are equally strong, and everyone has the opportunity to obtain ownership of the artifact."

"Okay, I'll follow you. When do we start?"

"Brother, let me prepare. We will gather at the Tower of Babel and encircle and suppress Lu Bei!"

"Okay, I'll wait for your news!"

In this way, the news began to spread to various areas of Qingyun Inner Sect.

Everyone who heard it was shocked and filled with envy.

There were also many people who had previously been at odds with Lu Bei, who became jealous and covetous, and spoke some wild words in anger.

Immediately afterwards, these people will immediately be recruited by like-minded partners to discuss and conquer major issues together.

Thus, while Lu Bei was unknowingly exploring various opportunities in the inner sect, the team that wanted to kill people and steal treasures gradually began to grow.

In a spiritual lake.

A handsome man in white with a strong aura was sitting cross-legged in the Spirit Lake to practice cultivation. Twenty guards in white armor were standing by the Spirit Lake.

The man's name is Chu Yu, he is the sixth prince of the Great Chu, and he has the strength of the middle stage of the Free Realm.

Those twenty white-armored generals were all at the peak of the Vajra Realm and were extremely powerful.

Chu Yu was slightly surprised when he heard the words of one of the generals, and then fell into deep thought.

After a long moment, Chu Yu shook his head seriously and said, "We can't provoke Lu Bei and his group, nor can we make enemies with them."

"Those who are secretly gathering and recruiting us need not pay attention. We, the Great Chu Royal Family, can just stay out of this matter."

The general was puzzled, "Your Highness, do you have any thoughts about the artifact and the treasure map on Princess Da Zhou's body?"

Chu Yu chuckled and said, "Yes, of course."

"But I also know myself. This is the territory of the Great Mang. If I, a prince of the Great Chu, obtain a divine artifact or a treasure map here, do you think Wang Mang will let us leave?"

The general suddenly understood and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Highness is wise!"

Chu Yu frowned and thought again, then said in a deep voice, "Send someone to keep an eye on them. If that group attacks Lu Bei and the others, be sure to tell me immediately."

The general was stunned. "Your Highness?"

Chu Yu frowned and asked, "You still haven't figured out who the girl next to Lu Bei is?"

The general was puzzled.

Chu Yu said in a deep voice, "The daughter of the Great Chu Sword Saint Gai Nie!"

The general's eyes widened and his face was shocked.

Chu Yu said seriously, "If a fight breaks out between the two sides, be sure to protect that girl."

"Yes, Your Highness!" the general replied in a deep voice.

Chu Yu suddenly thought of something and smiled again, "Of course, it is also very likely that she does not need our protection."

The general looked at Chu Yu curiously.

Chu Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Because the daughter of our Great Chu Sword Saint family seems to be unusually fierce. I think she is stronger than Lu Bei and Wang Heng."

. . .

Another secret place.

A young man in purple, with an ordinary appearance but a noble and elegant temperament, suddenly stopped and turned around and said in shock, "The artifact of the Demon Realm, the treasure map of the Great Zhou royal family!"

Behind him also stood twenty guards in black clothes and armor, carrying swords, each of whom had reached the peak of the Vajra Realm.

One of the guards replied solemnly, "Yes, Your Highness, many people are now preparing to attack Lu Bei, Jiang Wanqing and others."

The young man in purple was none other than Qiu Ze, the ninth prince of the Great Yan State, who had reached the early stage of the Freedom Realm.

There was a burning look of shock in Qiu Ze's eyes.

He muttered to himself, "Whether it's a divine artifact or a treasure map, obtaining either one will help me ascend to the throne of the crown prince."

"How could I miss such an opportunity!"

Qiu Ze looked excited.

The guard frowned, hesitating to speak, "Your Highness."

Qiu Ze raised his hand to stop him, and said contemptuously, "Are you going to tell me that this is the Great Mang?"

The guard nodded awkwardly.

Qiu Ze snorted coldly, "How could I be such a reckless and ignorant person!"

The guard was startled and immediately bowed in panic, saying, "Your Highness, please forgive me."

Qiu Ze said coldly, "Forget it!"

"From now on, the twenty of you will take off your armor and dress casually!"

The guard was horrified and knelt down to beg for mercy, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong."

Qiu Ze said impatiently, "I want you twenty people to sneak into the crowd besieging Lu Bei and take away the treasure map or Shura Blood Ring during the chaos!"

The guard was stunned and looked up in surprise.

Qiu Ze glared, "You still don't understand!"

The guard said excitedly, "I have received your order!"

Wait until all twenty golden-armored guards took off their armor and left.

Qiu Ze stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently and coldly, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. Lu Bei, you are too arrogant."

He thought for a moment and chuckled, "Presumably, Chu Yu and Wang Heng have joined the siege of Lubei now."

He stroked his chin and muttered, "Perhaps this news was spread by Wang Heng. After all, it was in his Damang Liangzhou City that Zhao Wuji of the Demon Realm died tragically, and Jiang Wanqing also disappeared there."

"But the soldiers of your Great Mang are too useless. They actually let Lu Bei and Jiang Wanqing run so far and even came to the secret realm of the Forest of Beasts," Qiu Ze said with a teasing look.

"Just like this guy Wang Heng, he is domineering and reckless. He has a lot of talent in martial arts, but he doesn't understand the principle of being too strong and easily broken. Sooner or later, he will die a violent death."
