Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 453 - 275: The Greatest Crisis_2

Just as Lu Yu was about to step out from his hiding place, he saw Yang Jingyuan returning. He looked at Yang Jingyuan with some confusion, wondering what he was up to.

Yang Jingyuan came back and was soon spotted by Commander Liu and the Watcher. Commander Liu stepped out, looking at the slowly descending Yang Jingyuan, and asked curiously, "Brother Yang, why have you returned?"

The Watcher heard this, glanced at Yang Jingyuan, and silently noted in his mind that this person's surname was Yang, called Commander Yang.

This means the other one must be Commander Zhou.

And the Watcher had already learned Commander Liu's name from the earlier conversation.

Suddenly, the Watcher felt a warm sensation on his face. He subconsciously reached up to touch it and found his hands covered in blood, his eyes filled with horror.

He looked up to see that Commander Yang had beheaded Commander Liu with a single stroke, the blood gushing from Liu's severed neck splattering onto his face, bringing the warmth he felt.

Before he could react, the Watcher felt darkness envelop his vision, and he lost consciousness.

Looking at the two corpses on the ground, Yang Jingyuan expressionlessly wiped the blood off his blade. He took out a small porcelain bottle from his storage pouch and poured out some liquid that emitted a pungent odor.

The two bodies in front of him turned into yellow liquid and seeped into the ground, disappearing from the world.

Commander Liu had no realization that Yang Jingyuan would turn on him, so he was completely unprepared and was beheaded without the slightest defense. As for the Watcher, it was simply because he was too weak and got killed in a single blow, without a chance to react.

After killing them, Yang Jingyuan searched the surroundings to ensure no one else had witnessed his actions before leaving with peace of mind.

Lu Yu watched the entire process of Yang Jingyuan returning, committing murder, and disposing of the bodies before leaving.

Yang Jingyuan had not expected that someone on the opposite peak had witnessed his entire act of murder.

"His surname is Yang, is he from the Yang family? If this is reported to the City Lord of Beifeng City, I'm afraid the Yang family will have to pay a considerable price to cover it up," Lu Yu murmured.

Lu Yu had overheard parts of their conversation and, when Yang Jingyuan flew overhead, heard him call out "Brother Zhou." The rest was obvious; he was the "Brother Yang" that Commander Liu referred to.

Whether or not he's from the Yang family still needs investigation, but anything detrimental to the Yang family, Lu Yu wouldn't let go.

Anything detrimental to the Yang family is beneficial to him, as the Yang family was his enemy.

"You probably won't have that opportunity." A hoarse voice reached Lu Yu's ears. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Lu Yu turned around in shock, realizing he hadn't sensed the person's approach.

A gaunt figure came into his view.

This elderly man, who seemed halfway buried in the yellow soil, was followed by seven exceptionally muscular men, each with metallic masks branded on their faces, preventing Lu Yu from seeing them clearly.

Not just the elderly man, but even these seven exceptionally muscular men had no detectable aura, which was incredibly strange to Lu Yu.

A figure stepped out from behind Lu Yu. While this figure looked slightly more normal, the stitched marks around the neck indicated they weren't an ordinary person either.

The head and body were obviously two different entities forcibly sewn together.

Lu Yu sensed the aura of this figure. Seeing the head of the intruder, Lu Yu was slightly startled, "Yang Wu?"

Yang Wu, his face ashen and his teeth clenched, said, "Thank you for still remembering me!"

Being plotted against by a Martial Cultivator from the Qi Sea Realm, having his Divine Soldier severely damaged, his body lost, leaving only his head, Yang Wu felt utterly humiliated.

If it weren't for the special properties of the Divine Soldier belonging to the ancestor, surviving might have been out of the question for him.

Seeing Yang Wu made Lu Yu suddenly understand Yang Jingyuan's actions. The Yang family didn't want the incident of besieging him leaked, so they cleared out all living people within the Fire Rain Mountain Range.

Compared to betraying comrades, the crime of besieging a Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple was certainly more severe.

In the former case, the Yang family could simply shift all the blame to Yang Jingyuan, using him as a scapegoat to resolve the issue.

In the latter scenario, sending Core Formation Realm experts to besiege a Divine Weapon Pavilion Qi Sea Realm disciple's news, if leaked, would definitely invoke the wrath of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, potentially leading to the Yang family being implicated and disappearing from the world.

"The Yang family is truly formidable, sending two Core Formation Realm experts just to deal with me, a Qi Sea Realm." Lu Yu sneered at the two men.

Yang Jueshang remained expressionless, indifferent to anything Lu Yu said. Yang Wu, his teeth clenched and his eyes ablaze, couldn't care less about Lu Yu's taunts. All he wanted now was to tear Lu Yu's bones apart one by one.

"Take out your puppet! If it satisfies me, I might let you die more painlessly." Yang Jueshang said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's heart trembled slightly. He wasn't here for him? He came for the puppet?

Remembering his last fight with Yang Wu, it seemed that Yang Wu was also intent on taking his puppet, which ultimately gave him the chance to counterattack and kill him.

If he hadn't been insistent on tangling with the Li Family Patriarch, directly attacking Lu Yu, he might have met his end then and there and never had a chance to use his Soul Power.

Soul Power? While recalling, Lu Yu thought of a key point and scrutinized Yang Jueshang carefully. Was he here for the Soul Power from the Liang Family Patriarch?

Lu Yu's heart sank. The Soul Power obtained through the power of Black Spirit by the Liang Family Patriarch was only one-time use and had long since been consumed. If he knew that the Liang Family Patriarch no longer had Soul Power, he would likely kill him on the spot, so he must find an opportunity to escape.
