When Lu Qiu challenged the Golden Deer Academy in the palace square, he frightened the ghosts and gods, but he also offended too many people. A tree that is beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The reason why Lu Qiu and Shouren Academy have been safe and sound is because of heaven.

Emperor Lu admired Lu Qiu's talent very much. This was known to everyone. During the period when Emperor Tianlu was still there, no one in the dynasty dared to do anything to Shouren Academy at the risk of offending the emperor.

But Emperor Tianlu, like his rumored senior brother Emperor Tianluo, is a complete cultivator. Even though he has talents and skills in governing the country, he is more devoted to cultivation than to power. He has been in power for thousands of years, among which

On the contrary, he spent seven to eight hundred years in retreat, and during his retreat, he was almost always regent by several princes.

This means that the Tianlu Dynasty is an empire established by immortal cultivators. Even if the Tianlu Emperor is not in the court, his own strength and intimidation alone are enough to intimidate all the people in the world. Even if they are in retreat, no one dares to have any objections.

.If it were a secular empire, and the monarch was so indifferent to the court, he would probably not be able to hold his position long ago.

It's just that in the past, after Emperor Tianlu came out of seclusion, he would wait for at least ten years or even decades before going into seclusion again. But this time, for some unknown reason, he went into seclusion again only a few years after he came out of seclusion and handed over the government affairs.

He killed his younger brother, the Second Prince.

As a result, Lu Qiu and Shouren Academy immediately lost their biggest invisible supporter.

Many officials in the court came from the Golden Deer Academy, and Lu Qiu's actions that time could be said to have completely offended the Golden Deer Academy and the Third Prince. It didn't take long for something to happen.

First, several students from Shouren Academy, while drinking in Jinxiu Tower, somehow offended several immortal cultivators.

The Tianlu Dynasty was an empire established by immortal cultivators, so those who cultivated immortals in the country naturally received preferential treatment. Of course, not only in Tianlu, but basically in the entire Dou Fa Continent, immortal cultivators were given priority over ordinary people.

However, in the Tianlu Empire, there are clear laws that stipulate that the status of immortal cultivators is the same as that of officials and nobles. The higher the strength, the higher the status. As long as you reach the spiritual realm, you are equivalent to a fifth-grade official, while the king realm is equivalent to a fourth-grade official.

Rank, the Imperial Realm is equivalent to the Third Rank, and the status of a strong person who reaches the Zun Realm is comparable to that of a first-rank official in the court. As for the power of those who go up to the Zun Realm and reach the Imperial Realm, let alone the rarity of such strong men in the lower realms.

In the Tianlu Empire, that was beyond the scope of the court, and even Emperor Tianlu himself had to treat him with courtesy.

The students in Lu Qiu offended several monks from the King Realm, who were considered to be serious nobles in the Tianlu Dynasty. The students were just civilians, and because of the favoritism of the imperial examination examiners in the previous time, it has not yet happened.

With his fame and reputation, he offended these monks, and three of them were killed by the opponent. The remaining few were also seriously injured, and only one escaped unharmed by luck.

Later, Lu Qiu was indignant and sued the government, but the official shielded him. It was clearly those people who started the trouble, but it was slandered that his students were the first to insult and provoke him, so the complaint was dismissed.

And this was just the beginning. From then on, Shouren Academy would encounter some troubles every day. The students were panicked, and some unbearable people fled from Jinlu City one after another. Later, they met a man from a family of cultivators.

A powerful person in the Zun Realm said that he was interested in the location of the academy and forced him to buy it and turn it into his own training room.

Several of Lu Qiu's disciples stood up to argue with the other party, but were severely injured by the opponent's palm. In full view of everyone, the powerful man sneered and said: "What kind of academy, a bunch of ordinary people, even if you are eight times more talented,

In my eyes, he is just a smart ant." Then he left disdainfully.

At this time, Lu Qiu already knew that someone was probably deliberately targeting him and the academy. Otherwise, even if immortal cultivators looked down on mortals in the past, they would not act so recklessly in a place with strict laws like Golden Deer City. However, his Shouren Academy now has a very high reputation, and the other party

It was hard to do it openly, so he had to do it secretly. But he knew the truth, but there was nothing he could do.

At a time when the college is increasingly in crisis, something happened internally.

Back in Jinxiu Tower, the only person who escaped unscathed was none other than Xue Cheng, one of Lu Qiu's most valued disciples.

Since then, Xue Cheng's temperament has changed drastically. After seeing the power of the immortal cultivators, Xue Cheng didn't know what influence he had. His previously firm thoughts changed. Not only did he no longer resist the immortal cultivators, but he also agreed with them.

Meaning.

During a conversation, Xue Cheng actually started to persuade Lu Qiu to bow his head. Lu Qiu reprimanded Xue Cheng. Who knew that instead of repenting, Xue Cheng got worse. Some students saw him going in and out of the homes of nobles in the court several times. Later, Lu Qiu once

Qiu unexpectedly discovered that Xue Cheng secretly entered his study and wanted to steal something.

After questioning, he learned that Xue Cheng actually wanted to steal the treasure left by the mysterious man before, just because he saw the power of immortal cultivators and yearned for them, but he did not have the talent to cultivate immortals, so he

I focused my attention on this aspect.

Lu Qiu was furious and scolded Xue Cheng. On the surface, Xue Cheng agreed with Lu Qiu and pretended to repent, but in fact, he had other thoughts in his heart. At that time, another imperial examination was very close, so he

On the eve of the imperial examination, the imperial minister of rites suddenly brought someone to the door, saying that he had received a report that Shouren Academy was suspected of fraud and that the academy would be searched.

Who would have thought that he would be slandered like this? Lu Qiu was naturally furious. He also asked himself if he was upright and was not afraid of the shadow, so he let him search without fear.

However, at this moment, Xue Cheng jumped out and identified Lu Qiu. It turned out that he was the one who reported the crime.

Under Xue Cheng's identification, the test questions for the current scientific examination were found from Lu Qiu's study.

It turned out that Xue Cheng had a grudge and betrayed the academy. In the Ministry of Etiquette, where the power of the Third Prince lies, he defected to the Third Prince's group and secretly put the imperial examination questions into Lu Qiu's study to frame him.

Lu Qiu and Shouren Academy were naturally unable to escape from this deliberate conspiracy. The academy was ordered to close, the students were dismissed, and Lu Qiu himself was imprisoned for review.

Fortunately, the court was not full of such wolves. A bachelor who had friendship with Lu Qiu came forward and rescued him from prison, but the academy was irreparable.

Lu Qiu had just been released from prison and wanted to go to Cheliu County in the north to seek help from an old minister his ancestors had been friends with. However, he was suddenly intercepted by thieves on the way.
