Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 767 - 395: Dead City_3
Above all the undead flowers, on a throne made of crystal-like vines, sat a figure in a black robe.
"Weren't you out? Why did you come back?" someone next to He Yichao asked upon seeing him.
That person was his second uncle. He Yichao recalled what just happened and said with a complicated expression, "I was instantly defeated."
His uncle said casually, "Again, by that Sword Cultivator? I've told you not to provoke him. The Venerable has already restricted him there; eventually, he'll be worn down."
He Yichao shook his head and said, "No, it was someone else. Uncle, do you remember Lu Yu, who started all this trouble?"
"Lu Yu?" His uncle was somewhat confused upon hearing the name. After all, he didn't know about this person back then; it was only when he became a servant of the undead flowers that he learned everything from He Yichao about the 'culprit'.
After a few reminders, his uncle remembered Lu Yu and blurted out, "That Saint Heir from the Divine Weapon Pavilion?"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the undead flowers around started to open; they remembered this.
"This is bad. The Divine Weapon Pavilion sent their Saint Heir; we're doomed," someone lamented pessimistically.
"Divine Weapon Pavilion? Who's afraid of them? We're now immortal, aren't we? The Divine Weapon Pavilion sent an elder too, and wasn't he trapped by the Demon Lord? Why be afraid!" someone shouted defiantly, though he felt somewhat uncertain inside.
The Demon Lord was Venerable White Bone, who became one with the Immortal Demon Vine and declared himself the Demon Lord.
An elder from the Divine Weapon Pavilion took almost all of the Venerable White Bone's strength to counter; if another came, wouldn't they all die?
But you can't say that either; after all, Venerable White Bone had killed an elder from the Divine Weapon Pavilion before. You can't equate all elders' strength.
"What do we do? Let him go or kill him?" someone proposed an important question.
"Let him go? It's fine if he just wants to leave, but if he wants to rescue others, we can't let him go; otherwise, the Demon Lord will kill us," someone said.
Venerable White Bone spared their lives so they could help harvest the lives of Yunhai City's residents. He needed a large number of sacrifices to restore his strength.
"Then kill him and offer Yunhai City's inhabitants as sacrifices to the Demon Lord. Once the Demon Lord is powerful, we won't fear the Divine Weapon Pavilion," someone suggested.
After much discussion, they finally decided to kill Lu Yu and sacrifice everyone in Yunhai City to strengthen the Demon Lord.
Only with the Demon Lord strong enough would they not fear the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
They had previously spared the lives of those people, afraid of facing the fate of hunting dogs once the bow was put away. Now, they couldn't worry about that anymore.
If Venerable White Bone couldn't resist the Divine Weapon Pavilion's pressure, they would all perish.
The crowd dispersed, and people hiding all over Yunhai City suddenly found that their hiding places were exposed.
Lu Yu stood in mid-air, scanning the surroundings. Just now, after repelling an undead flower, a large number of undead flowers suddenly appeared, each with a half-human figure in their center.
"Why did so many undead flowers suddenly appear? And what about the people inside those flowers?" A stream of questions appeared in Lu Yu's mind.
He saw a figure, and his pupils narrowed—it was He Yichao, whom he had just defeated. He hadn't died!
"Lu Yu, Lu Yu..." Calls came from below, and Lu Yu saw Huang Ying's figure appear at the edge of an exposed gap.
He descended, and Huang Ying quickly said, "Those flowers can't be killed; ignore them and rescue Master quickly."
"Where is Master?" Lu Yu asked urgently.
Huang Ying pointed to the ground and said, "Master is trapped below. Be careful, I know you're strong; I can't help you much, but don't worry about my safety, I can protect myself. Go!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Lu Yu glanced at Huang Ying and nodded, his body glowing with a yellow light, as he went underground.
Huang Ying watched as Lu Yu disappeared below, glanced at the chaos of undead flowers in the distance, listened to the occasional screams, and hurried back underground.
She scattered a large number of talisman papers, which turned into earthen walls to seal up the gap once more.
Lu Yu traversed underground, looking around. Everywhere was a tangled mess of vine roots, not even a path to navigate.
In front of him appeared the Earth Emperor Star, manipulating the soil to push the roots aside, creating a path leading straight to the depths.
