In order to save himself, the prince summoned 100,000 dragon riders at the start.

He and the Empress are now at odds.

The Sword Inquiry Sect also has intricate connections with the Empress.

An enemy of a friend is an enemy.

How could the Sword Inquiry Sect stand idly by and watch the fire burn from the sidelines?

The Wenjian Sect was located in Liangzhou, which is equivalent to its current hinterland.

Who knows when they might stab you in the back!

Moreover, there is something even more important in Lu Yuan's view.

Because Jiang Shicheng wasn't killed, the luck points for the Emperor-level lottery were naturally insufficient.

If the Sword Inquiry Sect is slaughtered.

I'm sure I can finally gather enough luck points for the Emperor-level lottery now, right?

"My lord, what should be done with these people?"

At this moment, Xu Chu looked at the group of people who were tied up and asked a question.

Lu Yuan's eyes flickered for a moment before he finally spoke.

"Release everyone except those connected to the Great Zhou royal family!"

His main enemy now is still the Empress of the Great Zhou and the royal family!

Although Lu Yuan wanted to sweep across the entire Great Zhou and kill anyone who stood in his way!

But reason told him that he couldn't make too many enemies at this moment.

What if these forces have a Saint Realm ancestor or something behind them?

Then the gain outweighs the loss!

"Go back and tell your master that the situation in the Northern Region has not changed yet!"

"If anyone insists on being ungrateful, then don't blame me, Lu Yuan, for being ruthless!"

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, not forgetting to warn these people.

It's necessary to give someone a warning in case they don't understand!

As Lu Yuan issued his order.

Scouts from all the major powers scattered as if granted a pardon.

At the same time, he silently kept Lu Yuan's words in his heart!

However, those forces that were on good terms with the Great Zhou, and their scouts, were not so lucky!

With each of the shadow guards watching them slashing, heads rolled to the ground in an instant!

Upon seeing this, the disciple from the Sword Inquiry Sect finally panicked.

"No! You can't kill me!"

"My master is the junior brother of our Holy Realm Sect Master, a half-saint powerhouse!"

"If you kill me, you will surely face endless revenge!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present wore a mocking expression.

Only a half-saint... Who among us isn't?

of course.

Except for Lu Yuan.

"Then let me ask you a question. Answer it seriously and I might spare your life."

"Who sent you? What's your purpose?"

Lu Yuan picked at his nails and asked the other person in a seemingly casual manner.

The Sword Inquiry Sect disciple panicked and hurriedly said:

"Are you serious? I don't want to die!"

"I was sent by my master to keep a close eye on the movements of your army."

"If there is any action, be sure to inform him immediately!"

"By the way, I didn't go back, he definitely knows! Please, please let me go!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's gaze hardened.

really.

The Sword Inquiry Sect truly intends to be his enemy!

Sent to monitor us?

If he had no ideas, why send scouts to monitor him?

Ha ha.

Since the Sword Inquiry Sect wants to get involved in this mess, then don't blame them for being impolite!

Lu Yuan would not tolerate such a restless threat in the rear!

The Holy Realm... he does have one too!

"Xu Zhu."

Lu Yuan looked away.

Xu Chu instantly understood what Lu Yuan meant.

"promise!"

A murderous aura instantly filled Xu Chu's eyes.

"No! You broke your promise!"

The disciples of the Sword Inquiry Sect cursed in terror.

"Heh heh, my lord said he'd let you go, but I never said that!"

Xu Zhu grinned maliciously, then slashed out with a blade that gleamed coldly.

A head fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

[Ding! Your subordinates have slain 3 Martial Kings and 12 Grand Martial Masters! You have gained 67200 Luck Points!]

Those scouts were quite strong, and once again contributed more than 60,000 luck points to Lu Yuan.

It looks like I'm still a few hundred thousand short of qualifying for the Emperor-level lottery.

Lu Yuan always felt a tickle in his heart.

But Lu Yuan knew that they were not far from collecting them all!

"Yu Xiang, order Xi Yu to investigate the background of this Wen Jian Sect!"

"Yuan Zuozong and Gao Shun! Lead the army and follow me to crush the Wenjian Sect!"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

Although the route taken by the Wenjian Sect is somewhat contrary to the direct route south, it is a detour.

But what does it matter?
