The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

As Duan Zhengyan finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

Zhongli and Eunuch Wei, who were released by Lu Yao, showed expressions of relief.

The two of them didn't care about their plummeting martial arts levels for a moment; they were already lucky to have survived.

"We, the people of Dali, are willing to surrender. We hope that Master Lu will forgive our disrespect."

Duan Zhengyan looked dejected, his heart heavy.

He finally understood why Western Xia had submitted to Lu Yao; his unparalleled martial arts were truly an insurmountable mountain.

Without a matching force to counter it, it is all in vain.

"a wise decision."

Lu Yao chuckled lightly; Dali was now under their control.

……

With Dali's surrender, Han Xin quickly led his army into Dali territory and relieved most of the cities.

Lu Yao directly ceded half of Dali's territory to the Great Yan, and the Yan Kingdom was officially restored.

At the same time, Lu Yao established the Xiaoyao Pavilion in both Western Xia and Dali, and led the martial arts sects in both countries.

The Western Xia was governed by the Heavenly Child Granny, while the Dali was governed by Mei Jian.

Murong Fu has finally fulfilled his dream and is about to become the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom.

In Canhe Village.

Murong Fu locked himself in his room, not allowing anyone to approach.

At this moment, Murong Fu lay on the ground with lifeless eyes, disheveled hair, and a haggard face, seemingly a completely different person from the elegant Murong Fu of the past.

Murong Fu has looked like this ever since he came out of Huanshi Water Pavilion.

He searched through all the treasured manuals in Huanshi Water Pavilion, including medical manuals, but found no method to treat the dantian.

Murong Fu is now like a walking corpse, devoid of any fighting spirit, and has even given up on himself.

"Young master! Young master! This is wonderful news!"

Just then, a surprised female voice rang out from outside Murong Fu's door.

"Get lost! I told you not to bother me!"

Murong Fu roared, his face contorted with rage.

The Murong family is a famous martial arts family in Suzhou, but as the patriarch, he himself is a useless person without martial arts skills, which is hard for Murong Fu to accept.

"My lord, the Yan Kingdom has been restored, and you are to become emperor."

Abi, standing outside the door, looked somewhat worried and quickly shared the information she had received.

After Abi returned to Canhe Manor, Lu Yao stopped letting her follow him. She went back to Murong Fu's side and continued to serve as a maid in the Murong family.

After Murong Fu lost his martial arts skills, almost everyone intentionally distanced themselves from him, except for Abi.

Since switching allegiance to Lu Yao, the four retainers have maintained a sufficient distance from Murong Fu to avoid displeasing Lu Yao.

Murong Fu was furious when he sensed that his four powerful retainers had become estranged from him, but he dared not show it.

After all, the four retainers were still nominally subjects of the Murong family and had not committed any acts of betrayal.

Of course, the most important thing is that Murong Fu himself lost his martial arts skills and no longer had the strength to suppress the others.

"Oh!"

Murong Fu's door was suddenly pushed open with a bang, revealing his unkempt figure.

"What did you say! The Great Yan has been restored?"

Murong Fu ran out of the room, came to Abi, grabbed Abi's hand, and asked in shock.

Although Murong Fu used more force due to emotional turmoil, Abi, who had practiced martial arts, did not care about it.

"Yes, young master. I have heard that Master Lu has used his unparalleled martial arts to intimidate Dali, and Dali has already submitted to Master Lu."

"Master Lu has ceded half of Dali's city to the Great Yan, intending to restore the Yan state."

Abi also looked somewhat pleased, after all, this was closely related to Murong Fu.

"The Great Yan has been restored! The Great Yan has been restored!"

Murong Fu looked somewhat dazed, muttering the same phrase over and over.

"Hahaha! I'm going to be the emperor!"

Murong Fu was overjoyed and shouted wildly.

As a descendant of the Yan royal family, who else but him could sit on the throne of the Great Yan Emperor?

Seeing Murong Fu so happy, like a child, Abi also smiled.

"Wait! Master Lu! He cured my cousin, so he can definitely cure me too!"

Murong Fu, who was shouting excitedly, suddenly remembered his cousin Wang Yuyan.

Murong Fu knew that Wang Yuyan couldn't learn martial arts before, but after Wang Yuyan followed Lu Yao, she suddenly became able to learn martial arts.

Murong Fu believed that Lu Yao must have been the one to cure Wang Yuyan.

"Grandmaster Lu is a top-tier expert at the Grandmaster level, he can definitely do it, he can definitely do it!"

A flame ignited in Murong Fu's eyes—a flame of hope.

"Where is Master Lu? Where is Master Lu now?!"

Murong Fu grabbed Abi's arm, looking extremely anxious.

"Young master, don't worry. I heard from Brother Deng that Master Lu will be returning soon."

Seeing that Murong Fu looked anxious, Abi quickly said something.

"Okay! Be sure to tell me as soon as Grandmaster Lu returns!"

Murong Fu was overjoyed and carefully gave instructions to Abi.

Abi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

……

A month later.

Lu Yao led his men back to Canhe Village.

This will be his last time returning to Canhe Village. Now that he is a grandmaster who has suppressed the Three Kingdoms, it is no longer appropriate for him to stay in this small Canhe Village.

In an effort to curry favor with Lu Yao, Duan Zhengyan has chosen a scenic spot near the capital of Dali and embarked on a massive construction project to build the Xiaoyao Pavilion, a residence for the Xiaoyao Sect, with a scale comparable to that of an imperial palace.

Lu Yao was about to return to his pavilion when he was blocked by Murong Fu, who suddenly appeared.

"Murong Fu pays his respects to Master Lu."

Murong Fu had been waiting for Lu Yao there for a long time, and when he saw Lu Yao, he quickly went forward.

"Hmm, how is Young Master Murong's injury? Is it serious?"

Lu Yao looked at Murong Fu and asked with a smile.

Although Murong Fu had tidied himself up, he still looked somewhat dejected.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Lu. My injuries are no longer a problem."

"It's just an injury to the dantian, which cannot be cured by ordinary medicine."

Murong Fu looked bitter and dejected.

"Young Master Murong, please take it easy. Life is only a few decades long, and you don't necessarily have to pursue the path of martial arts."

"I have returned this time to inform Young Master Murong of some good news: the Yan Kingdom has been restored, and you are going to become the emperor."

Lu Yao shook his head and then told Murong Fu about his plans.

Making Murong Fu the emperor of the Great Yan was naturally Lu Yao's initial goal.

If Murong Fu were to ascend the throne, a huge sum of world origin would be deposited into his account.

Although the Great Yan was outwardly strong but inwardly weak, and was merely an empty shell, the fact remains that the Yan state was re-established.

"Thank you, Master Lu, for restoring my Great Yan!"

Although Murong Fu had expected it, he was still extremely excited when he heard the news from Lu Yao himself.

"But I have another matter I would like to ask Master Lu to grant."

Despite his excitement, Murong Fu did not forget his true purpose in coming to find Lu Yao.

"Oh? Young Master Murong, please speak."

Lu Yao was taken aback and looked at Murong Fu strangely.
