Elder Wu Hai "entrusted him with an important task," and given Chen Yuâs current status, he could not refuse, so he accepted it.
Chen Yu also felt that Elder Wu Haiâs "special care" for him had hidden intentions.
He could not yet guess the specific reason, but he estimated that this task would reveal Elder Wu Haiâs true intentions.
"Your team consists of three people and will depart in three days. You can ask the captain for specific details then."
Elder Wu Hai saw Chen Yu agree and his smile grew.
After leaving the elderâs residence, Chen Yu saw the King of Fallen Moon and Lin Xuefei.
"Chen Yu, whatâs the situation between you and Elder Wu Hai?"
The King of Fallen Moon was quite puzzled.
Previously, Elder Wu Hai had shown special care for Chen Yu, and this time the task assignment was also mentioned only to Chen Yu.
The King of Fallen Moon even suspected that Chen Yu had some other relationship with Elder Wu Hai.
Itâs not surprising for the King of Fallen Moon to think this way; Lin Xuefei felt the same, as did the other disciples from outside surnames.
After returning to his residence, Chen Yu continued his cultivation as usual.
Over the past month, through some interactions and exchanges, he gained a certain understanding of the Yang Family and even the region.
The structure of the Yang Familyâs forces doesnât differ from the four-star forces in the Great Yu Realm.
But Chen Yu felt that the status of the Condensed Star Realm was quite different.
Although people like Chen Yu are merely disciples from outside surnames, their treatment shouldnât be this poor.
The fundamental reason is.
In the Great Yu Realm, the birth of Condensed Star kings is extremely rare, while in the main world, the success rate is greatly increased.
Basically, the success rate for beings in the main world breaking through the Condensed Star Realm is much higher than for beings in the Great Yu Realm, sometimes even double or more.
Therefore, here, the number of Condensed Star kings is larger, and their status correspondingly declines.
The residence area for disciples from outer surnames consists of a cluster of pavilions built on a cliff.
This is the residence of Lu Fan Yun, ranked second among the disciples from outside surnames.
At this moment, nearly ten disciples from outside surnames were gathered at Lu Fan Yunâs residence.
"Brother Lu, I heard that in three days, youâre going to carry out a task? And itâs with that Chen Yu?"
A fierce-looking man asked, who was precisely "Old Snake."
Theoretically, Lu Fan Yun, being ranked second among outside surname disciples, holds a status different from ordinary Condensed Star Realm members. If he completes one task within five years, he can refuse all others.
But Lu Fan Yun did not refuse the task.
Whatâs more curious to them is that Chen Yu, the newcomer, is part of Lu Fan Yunâs team.
The elders suspected that Elder Wu Hai truly valued Chen Yu, as Lu Fan Yun was brought out to "escort" Chen Yuâs first mission.
How could they take revenge then?
This past month, Chen Yuâs cultivation method influenced many people, essentially causing widespread dissatisfaction.
Additionally, Chen Yu was still a newcomer, intensifying their discontent with him.
But since nobody understood Elder Wu Haiâs stance, none dared to act recklessly.
Lu Fan Yun, seated alone, had azure hair, a crystalline and refined body emitting a faint bluish shine, exuding a powerful aura that intimidated everyone present.
"Hahaha, escort?"
Lu Fan Yun couldnât help but laugh at their words.
He originally didnât intend to take this task, but Elder Wu Hai told him the real task was to kill Chen Yu, promising him certain benefits, so Lu Fan Yun agreed.
"Brother Lu, could there be some hidden agenda?"
Old Snakeâs eyes flashed brilliantly.
He was just worried that everything was as the crowd had said; how could he then tackle Chen Yu?
Lu Fan Yun took a sip of wine and laughed, "I see everyone has a big grudge against Chen Yu, but this task is extremely dangerous; even I, Lu Fan Yun, canât guarantee whether he will safely complete it."
Upon hearing this, the crowd instantly understood, each smiling without saying more, raising their glasses in a toast.
"I thought Elder Wu Hai was showing special care for this boy, but this little brat actually got on Elder Wu Haiâs wrong side... Hahaha."
Old Snake laughed internally.
Elder Wu Hai was just this type of person; if he wanted to deal with someone, others might die without even knowing the reason.
"Elder Wu Hai has Lu Fan Yun move against him, Chen Yuâs certain death is assured. Itâs a pity I canât personally teach this little punk a lesson."
Lu Fan Yun is at the early-stage Condensed Star Realm Peak, ranked second in strength among all outside surname disciples!
Old Snake thought no more, laughing, "Brother Lu, I toast to you."
In his view, Chen Yu was already as good as dead; he neednât concern himself.
Three days later.
Chen Yu arrived at a grand hall.
"You must be Chen Yu, Iâm Lu Fan Yun, captain of this mission."
A tall, azure-haired man calmly stated.
Chen Yu walked over, meeting team captain Lu Fan Yun, and another woman, charming and provocatively dressed in black.
Lu Fan Yun was at the early-stage Condensed Star Realm Peak, while the woman in black was at the early-stage Condensed Star Realm.
"Letâs set off."
Lu Fan Yun led the two down Tian Nan Mountain.
"Brother Lu, whatâs the situation with our task?"
Chen Yu actively asked.
Lu Fan Yun was momentarily stunned, as his task was actually to kill Chen Yu, so heâd forgotten about this.
To prevent Chen Yu from becoming suspicious, he explained.
"According to the intelligence gathered by the Yang Family, someone in the âWhite Tiger Sacred Clanâ of the Demon Race seems to have acquired a clue about the Demon Raceâs treasure from Ancient Times."
The Demon Race is also a major race in the main world.
In its heyday during the early Middle Ages, it ruled an era, but is now in decline.
Yet, the Demon Raceâs glory remains unquestionable.
The treasure of the Demon Race from Ancient Times, was during its apex; Chen Yuâs heart couldnât help but beat slightly.
But he noticed that Lu Fan Yun and the woman in black showed little reaction, seemingly uninterested in the treasure.
"After a series of investigations, in recent days, Yang Family informants discovered traces of people from the White Tiger Sacred Clan at âFour Desolate Mountain.â"
"Even if we encounter people from the White Tiger Sacred Clan, we donât need to fight them. As long as we find clues to the treasure, we immediately return to the Yang Family to report. Thatâs how we can achieve great merit."
Lu Fan Yun explained briefly.
This task does indeed exist, but it has been undertaken several times without any gains.
Lu Fan Yun didnât take this task seriously; his goal was simply to kill Chen Yu, simple and easy.
In fact, Lu Fan Yun even thought Elder Wu Hai was making a big deal of it, personally dispatching him to deal with Chen Yu. But in a way, it was good; otherwise, such a great opportunity wouldnât have fallen to him.
Three days journey later.
The three arrived smoothly at the Four Desolate Mountain.
From afar, Chen Yu saw four barren mountains.
Thinking in normal terms, this place hardly looked like where a treasure might be hidden.
"Weâve arrived."
Lu Fan Yun showed a hint of a smile.
The Four Desolate Mountain is situated at the boundary between the human territory and the "Mu Clan."
According to Elder Wu Haiâs instructions, killing Chen Yu here was foolproof.
Chen Yu glanced at Lu Fan Yun, waiting for the captain to act.
He was indifferent to the Yang Familyâs task, but if he truly found some clues, completing the task would come with a rich reward.
Yet, with this glance at Lu Fan Yun, Chen Yu sensed something was off.
"Chen Yu, this will be your burial ground."
Lu Fan Yun revealed a sinister smile, speaking calmly.
The other black-clad woman also showed a murderous intent in her eyes.
"So, Elder Wu Hai sent you two to kill me?"
Chen Yu understood immediately.
He just didnât know how he had offended Elder Wu Hai.
The only possibility was that he had embarrassed the red-robed middle-aged man and Yang Lingjie in the Great Yu Realm, earning their resentment.
"Dead people donât need to know so much. You just need to die quietly. If you could commit suicide, that would be even better."
Lu Fan Yunâs face carried a playful smile, chuckling lightly.
Dealing with a native from a low-level realm was really light and easy, so he scorned sneak attacks and didnât hurry to strike.
In Lu Fan Yunâs eyes, Chen Yu was just a little lamb in a cage, unable to escape, ready to be slaughtered at his will.
"I think living is quite good, why should I die?"
Chen Yu also laughed.
Cultivators from the main world were strong, certainly more powerful at the early-stage Condensed Star Realm peak, but just how strong, Chen Yu was curious.
Lu Fan Yun frowned, his energy erupted, his imposing manner burst like a mountain flood, crushing down: "This king wants you dead, you will die!"
Boom boom!
He raised his hand, ancient cyan patterns emerged on his arm and palm.
In an instant, the world turned cyan green, vitality limitless, but all under Lu Fan Yunâs control.
This is the Wood Essence!
In the cyan cloud light, came the sound of trees rapidly growing.
In the next moment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Countless cyan spikes stabbed down from the sky.
On the other side, the alluring black-clad woman also spoke with a smile, a longsword appearing in her hand.
"As a native from a low-level realm, youâre quite arrogant, which is why youâve met such a fate. Next time, remember to be wiser in your life."
The black-clad womanâs sword suddenly melted, transforming into a layer of water light ripples, constantly churning, forming a massive water wave vortex.
Within the vortex, a liquid light sword vigorously pierced out!
The two kings from the main world launched an attack simultaneously.
Demon Scale Armor!
Chen Yu mobilized energy, activated defensive battle skills, then first was ignited by a ball of blood-colored crystal flame.
Of the two enemies, the truly troublesome one was Lu Fan Yun.
Dealing with the king of Wood Essence, [Blood Crystal Flame] is more effective.
Boom boom!
Chen Yu punched, a massive white light fist was wrapped in blood flame, soaring into the sky, colliding with thousands of cyan spikes, causing an explosion that shook the sky.
Blood flames spread and engulfed, further destroying.
But Lu Fan Yunâs cultivation was high, with a large range attack, most cyan spikes destroyed, still a small portion attacked.
Whoosh!
Chen Yu retreated, actively confronting the attack of the black-clad woman.
[Blood Crystal Flame] disappeared.
[Burning Sky Demon Halberd] suddenly appeared.
Boom boom!
Chen Yu swung forcefully, the halberdâs shadow flashed past, raising a violent black flame whirlwind, obliterating the black-clad womanâs attack completely.
"This... "
The black-clad woman paused.
This kid wasnât just a low-level native who recently entered the main world? Within the same realm, her attack was easily destroyed.
Bang!
A loud noise sounded, the black-clad woman then saw, [Burning Sky Demon Halberd] drawn a straight black light, directly stabbing, intimidating and terrifying!
Ding boom!
She wielded her sword to block, but was shocked by the tremendous force from the halberd, shattering her tigerâs mouth, her arm losing sensation.
Puff!
The halberd pierced her jade shoulder, a side moon blade pierced through the black-clad womanâs ample chest.
