The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The Mongol army, a vast, dark mass, surged relentlessly towards Lu Yao.

When Mongke saw Lu Yao leaping into the air and attacking him, he was also very nervous.

"Damn it! All of you, attack together and stop him!"

Möngke gave orders to the Mongol guards protecting him.

"Your Majesty! This man is extremely dangerous. We should stay and protect you."

These Mongolian experts weren't fools; going up there would be suicide, so they absolutely couldn't go.

"A bunch of cowards who are afraid of dying!"

Mongke cursed inwardly, but he couldn't deal with these people now, so he could only lead his men to retreat.

However, Möngke was just an ordinary person after all. Although he ran very fast with the help of a group of Mongolian experts, he was still not as fast as Lu Yao.

Lu Yao unleashed countless sword energies in mid-air, slashing towards the group of Mongol experts beside Mongke.

With a flash of sword light, countless Mongol masters were instantly severely injured and fell to the ground, their cries of agony filling the air.

Lu Yao's swordsmanship was extremely precise, and only Mongke was unharmed.

"Warrior, stop! I am willing to withdraw my troops back to Mongolia and swear never to invade the Southern Song border again. Can you spare my life?"

Mengge knew he had offended a powerful person, so he quickly told Lu Yao.

"It's alright. Once you're dead, the Mongols won't have time to come."

Lu Yao chuckled lightly and said calmly.

"you……"

Meng Ge wanted to say something, but Lu Yao didn't give him the chance. A flash of sword light, and a head flew off.

After killing Mongke, Lu Yao soared into the air and calmly departed on a giant eagle under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people.

After Möngke's death, the Mongol camp fell into a period of silence and did not launch another attack on Xiangyang.

Several days later, the Mongol army of 50,000 men broke camp and began to withdraw.

When Möngke was in power, he was able to suppress the various tribes under his command. However, after Möngke, the Great Khan, died, there was an undercurrent of unrest in Mongolia, and the army was recalled.

Lu Yao, upon returning to Xiangyang, was respected by countless people.

"Alliance Leader Lu is incredibly powerful; he can take the enemy's head from among ten thousand troops. His skill is unparalleled."

Lu Wende, the garrison commander of Xiangyang, dressed in armor, respectfully bowed to Lu Yao and said...

Lu Wende was acquainted with Guo Jing and naturally knew Lu Yao's identity, and he also held a friendly attitude towards the Martial Alliance.

"General Lü, you flatter me. The battles to come will depend on you."

Lu Yao smiled gently, indicating to Lü Wende that there was no need for such formalities.

"I will certainly submit a memorial to His Majesty, requesting a reward for Alliance Leader Lu!"

Lu Wende spoke solemnly and carefully.

Lu Yao smiled inwardly. There would definitely be a reward, but how it was given was up to him.

Several days later, Lu Yao had returned to the Valley of Heartbreak.

Meanwhile, the imperial edict from the Southern Song Dynasty was also delivered to the Valley of Heartbreak.

"By the mandate of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:"

The wise men of old used military force to stabilize the country and merit to protect it. Now there is Lu Yao, whose martial arts are superb. When the country was in danger, he stepped forward and drove the enemy away from a thousand miles away, ensuring the stability of our land and the peace of our people.

I hereby bestow upon him the title of Imperial Preceptor, granting him an honorable position, the reverence of all people, and bestow upon him a mansion and a thousand taels of gold, to recognize his merits.

The imperial edict was delivered by a eunuch from the palace. Lu Yao accepted the edict directly, and the position of Imperial Preceptor was something Lu Yao himself had decided to take.

After Lu Yao had the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree sent away, he ordered all the deacons and councilors of the Martial Arts Alliance to be summoned.

"Now that the Mongols have retreated, the Martial Alliance should also disband. I have been appointed as the Imperial Preceptor by the Emperor and have decided to establish the Martial God Palace to pass on the martial arts."

Those who wish to join the Martial God Palace are warmly welcomed; those who do not wish to join, please take your leave.

In a pavilion in the Valley of Heartbreak, a dozen or so representatives from various factions of the Martial Arts Alliance gathered together, looking at each other in bewilderment.

As a force established to resist the Mongols, the Martial Alliance was ultimately not very convenient for Lu Yao to use.

Therefore, they plan to kick out these sects and establish their own power based on the Martial Alliance.

"Alliance Leader, you are mistaken. Our alliance has just repelled the Mongol army, and now is the perfect time to unify the martial world and unite the world."

Seeing that Lu Yao was actually going to kick them out, they naturally objected and anxiously spoke to Lu Yao.

The Martial Alliance is now enjoying immense prestige in the martial arts world, and countless martial artists consider it an honor to join it, resulting in its rapid growth in power.

Nowadays, the proportion of disciples from major sects in the martial arts alliance is very small; most of them are independent martial artists.

If Lu Yao establishes the Martial God Palace, many people will definitely choose to join, and then these veteran sects of the Martial Alliance will have no power in their hands.

"I'm not discussing this with you. After today, you will all lead your disciples out of the Valley of Heartbreak and return this place to the Gongsun family."

Lu Yao looked at them calmly and said indifferently.

"Our Iron Palm Clan is willing to join the Martial God Palace. We hope Palace Master Lu will accept us."

Ling Xiaofeng knew this was an opportunity for him to advance further, so he quickly spoke up to express his opinion.

For Ling Xiaofeng, he didn't have much affection for the Iron Palm Clan to begin with, so using it as leverage to get in Lu Luyao's favor was clearly more rewarding.

Ling Xiaofeng is now a top-tier expert, and he has placed all his hopes for advancing to the Acquired Realm on Lu Yao.

"My Heartless Valley is also willing to join the Martial God Palace."

Gongsun Lü'e also spoke softly at Yang Guo's prompting.

"Hmph! Alliance Leader Lu is really putting on a good show. Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the stewards with such actions?"

Seeing this, Lu Youjiao of the Beggars' Sect snorted coldly, confident that he had Guo Jing and Huang Rong backing him up and was not afraid of Lu Yao.

The Beggars' Sect is known as the largest sect in the world, and as its leader, he naturally would not join Lu Yao's Martial God Palace.

Moreover, the Martial God Palace is clearly Lu Yao's own faction, so it's even less likely that he would join it.

He used to be the leader of a gang, but after going to the Martial God Palace, he didn't know how many levels his status would drop.

“That’s right! Alliance Leader Lu, how can we just kick everyone out now?”

"Yes, or how about Alliance Leader Lu relinquishes his position and we elect another Alliance Leader?"

The leaders or chiefs of other gangs spoke up.

“I’ll say it again! This isn’t a discussion with you. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I, Lu, will not be polite.”

Lu Yao's expression turned slightly cold, and he suddenly released his true energy, speaking in a chilling voice.

"you…"

The group of deacons immediately remembered that their leader was also a highly skilled martial artist, and their expressions changed drastically.

After the meeting ended, the group of disgruntled deacons gathered together once again.

"That Lu Yao is so hateful! He got the position of Imperial Advisor, while we didn't even get a taste of the spoils!"

The leader of the Jiaolong Gang said through gritted teeth, his face contorted with resentment.

"Exactly! This guy is a scoundrel who kicks people when they've served their purpose!"

……

"Since Lu Yao wants to disband the Martial Alliance, why don't we start from scratch?"

One of the sect leaders, with a quick thought, came up with a plan.

Soon, the news that Lu Yao had announced the disbandment of the Martial Arts Alliance spread throughout the martial arts world, causing an uproar.

Each gang took all their disciples away, the supplies were divided up, and the martial arts alliance completely disbanded.
