Chapter 968

"Tell me, where's Lu Fanyun? Why didn't he come back with you? "

Elder Wu Hai questioned immediately. This was also the biggest doubt in his heart.

If Lu Fanyun, whom he sent to kill Chen Yu, was killed instead. Chen Yu probably already knew that he was the one who sent Lu Fanyun.

Then this matter couldn't be left unsettled. He had to get rid of the hidden danger, Chen Yu. Otherwise, if Chen Yu matured, it would be a big problem for Elder Wu Hai.

Chen Yu smiled and didn't answer immediately.

From Elder Wu Hai's question, it could be seen that he didn't care about the mission at all. He wanted to know where Lu Fanyun went and why he couldn't get rid of him.

Although Chen Yu was angry, he couldn't deal with Elder Wu Hai right now. He could only remember this matter for now.

"Lu Fanyun … he's dead!"

Chen Yu revealed a sorrowful expression and sighed.

"What?"

Elder Wu Hai's eyes widened.

If it was in the past, he wouldn't be able to accept this. But after witnessing Chen Yu's battle yesterday, he wavered. It wasn't impossible for Chen Yu to kill Lu Fanyun.

"How did he die?"

Elder Wu Hai's eyes flickered. The might of a Star Condensation Middle Stage completely spread out.

If Chen Yu really killed Lu Fanyun.

Then he could use this opportunity to get rid of Chen Yu!

"When we were exploring the demon race's treasure, we encountered the White Tiger Holy Tribe. Lu Fanyun and Wang Qin were killed by them. I luckily escaped and recuperated outside for a month before returning to the Yang Family."

Elder Wu Hai sent two people to assassinate Chen Yu. Wang Qin was the black-clothed woman.

Chen Yu slowly told the story that he had long made up.

Hearing this, Elder Wu Hai was dumbfounded for a moment.

Demon race's treasure?

White Tiger Holy Tribe?

Was this all true?

"Where's the demon race's treasure? Why didn't you report this to me immediately? "

Elder Wu Hai immediately asked, instantly forgetting his previous purpose.

"I'm afraid it's already in the hands of the White Tiger Holy Tribe."

Chen Yu had a look of pity on his face.

In fact, he wasn't sure either. Perhaps the secret realm had closed after the trial, or perhaps it had been taken away by the White Tiger Saint Clan.

Even if the mystic realm was still there, it would definitely attract countless powerhouses. There was no need for Chen Yu to join in the fun. In any case, he had already obtained the body tempering cultivation method that he needed the most.

"Tell me everything you've seen and heard. This matter must be reported to the family, and then we'll send someone to investigate."

Elder Wu Hai said solemnly.

This was related to the demon race's treasures. If the Yang family could gain something, his contribution would be the greatest.

Following that, Chen Yu gave a rough account of what had happened. However, he had edited everything from the beginning to the end.

"You can leave first."

Elder Wu Hai instructed.

If the Yang Family could gain something from this incident, Chen Yu would have made a great contribution and Elder Wu Hai wouldn't be able to deal with Chen Yu anymore.

Moreover, now that Lu Fanyun was dead, the second place among the disciples with a different surname was vacant, and Chen Yu's ranking continued to rise …

Finally.

Elder Wu Hai sighed. He could only temporarily give up on dealing with Chen Yu, and take advantage of the fact that the other party did not know about this to ease their relationship.

"Chen Yu, you are now the top disciple among the disciples with a different surname."

Elder Wu Hai's imposing manner disappeared, and a smile hung on his face.

"Top disciple?"

Chen Yu was stunned.

"Lu Fanyun is dead, and the top disciple, Song Shan, became a deacon of the Yang Family five days ago. Therefore, you are now the top disciple among the disciples with a different surname!"

Elder Wu Hai explained patiently.

Chen Yu nodded, very satisfied with this result.

He had originally planned to challenge the top disciple, Song Shan.

However, he had already challenged three Star Condensation Kings yesterday. If he challenged the top disciple, Song Shan, it would be too high profile.

Coupled with the matter of the demon race's treasures, Chen Yu would inevitably be suspected.

On the other hand, Song Shan was the top disciple with a different surname. His strength was definitely not simple, and Chen Yu did not know much about him.

Fighting four Star Condensation Realm experts consecutively, he might fail miserably. Therefore, he did not challenge Song Shan previously.

"Top disciple with a different surname, my first goal has been achieved."

Chen Yu was very satisfied with the result and walked out of the Elder's residence.

As soon as he left, Elder Wu Hai walked out of the residence. "I have to inform Yang Lingjie about this …"

The Heavenly South Shangyang Family was a large family. Every generation of the Yang Family had thousands of young disciples, but only ten could become the core disciples of the Yang Family.

These ten people received the full support of the Yang Family. The area they lived in was quiet and elegant, and the vitality was twice that of the area of the disciples with a different surname.

In the guest hall, Elder Wu Hai was drinking tea alone.

"This little guy, he actually made this elder wait here for two hours!"

Elder Wu Hai said with a sullen face.

In the Yang Family, apart from the higher-ups above the Elders, only a top core disciple like Yang Lingjie could make Elder Wu Hai act like this.

"Elder Wu Hai, sorry to keep you waiting."

A laugh came from outside the hall. Then, a handsome man in a golden robe strode in.

Elder Wu Hai's eyes narrowed. Yang Lingjie's aura was much stronger than before. He was very close to the peak of the early-stage Star Condensation Realm!

"As expected of a core genius of the Yang Family. In less than two years, Lingjie's cultivation will reach the peak of the early-stage Star Condensation Realm."

Elder Wu Hai's attitude changed slightly.

As long as a core disciple of the Yang Family grew up, he would become a core member of the Yang Family in the future.

"Hehe, two years is too long."

The corner of Yang Lingjie's mouth curled up. He sat opposite Elder Wu Hai and said confidently, "In five months, this young master will reach the peak of the early-stage Star Condensation Realm!"

"Could it be for the Five Mountain Martial Competition?"

Elder Wu Hai asked.

The so-called Five Mountain Martial Competition was a martial competition between the younger generation of the nearby large clans that had five Spirit Mountains.

As a core disciple of the Yang Family, Yang Lingjie would definitely participate.

However, Yang Lingjie was not the top in the Yang Family. If the geniuses of the five clans gathered, his brilliance would dim.

But once his cultivation reached the peak of the early-stage Star Condensation Realm, it would be different. At that time, he might be able to shine.

"Oh right, Elder, why are you looking for me?"

Yang Lingjie asked.

He had been in a good mood recently. He guessed that Elder Wu Hai must have fulfilled his request and secretly eliminated Chen Yu.

Elder Wu Hai was speechless. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "The assassin I sent to kill him failed."

"He's not dead?"

Yang Lingjie's expression changed.

"Lingjie, why didn't you tell me that this person was so strong? Otherwise, this elder wouldn't have failed."

Elder Wu Hai sighed.

He had already thought of an excuse. He definitely couldn't blame the failure on himself.

Yang Lingjie was silent. Back then, he cared about his face and didn't say that Chen Yu had once exchanged three moves with him and gained the upper hand.

"I'll have to trouble Elder Wu Hai to make another move. Lingjie will definitely thank you in the future."

Yang Lingjie said sincerely.

He used his future potential as a reward.

"This is not easy. This child is now the number one among the disciples with a different surname!"

Elder Wu Hai sighed.

"What?"

Yang Lingjie's expression changed drastically. He was extremely shocked.

How could this be possible?

In just a few months, that kid had become the number one among the disciples with a different surname!

Such a person was the focus of the family to recruit and train. It would be troublesome to deal with him. One mistake might even get himself into trouble.

"In that case, forget it."

Yang Lingjie noticed the change in Elder Wu Hai's attitude and didn't want to continue to talk about this matter.

When Elder Wu Hai left.

Yang Lingjie slammed his palm on the table. A golden light bloomed and the entire table instantly turned into dust.

"Bastard, you damn lowly native. What qualifications do you have to compete with me?"

Yang Lingjie shouted angrily.

"A different surname is a different surname after all. You will see my true glory in the Five Mountain Martial Arts Competition!

"At that time, I will also use this springboard to climb to a higher peak and completely trample you under my feet!"

Yang Lingjie looked forward to the Five Mountain Martial Arts Competition even more.

It was a competition between the core disciples of the five major families. The disciples with a different surname could only watch.

Besides, the Five Mountain Martial Arts Competition was not only a competition between the core disciples of the five major families but also another important matter.

…

After Chen Yu left Elder Wu Hai's residence, he went to the Yang Family's Martial Depository.

As a disciple with a different surname, he could enter after completing a mission and choose a cultivation technique or battle technique.

Chen Yu already had a suitable body-refining cultivation technique, so he didn't need it at the moment. It was better to go in and take a look.

After entering the Martial Depository, he found that the cultivation techniques and battle techniques here were indeed a level higher than those in the Great Cosmos Realm. Moreover, they were more complete, so the possibility of mistakes in cultivation was greatly reduced.

However, he also found that disciples with a different surname couldn't browse the Yang Family's core cultivation techniques and secret techniques.

"The Yang Family is also stingy with outsiders."

Chen Yu directly left the Martial Depository.

So far, Nine Star Transformation Technique, Divine Body of Four Symbols, Six Flame Finger Sword, Demon Descending to the Sixth Heavens, and Murderous Heart Sutra were enough.

After returning to his residence, Chen Yu began to cultivate in seclusion.

The effect of the Profound Tortoise Pill could last for several months.

He had to seize the time to open his Star Acupoints and strengthen his physique.

In the past, Chen Yu's physique had always been ahead of his cultivation. However, after breaking through to the Star Condensation Realm, he didn't have a suitable body-refining technique, so his physique was still lagging behind his cultivation.

"Currently, I have to use the Yang Family's resources and nurture to increase my strength as soon as possible. After that, I will make other plans."

Chen Yu was very clear about his goal, and he was also very pressed for time.

If he couldn't find a way to save Ye Luofeng within 85 years, she might never wake up.

For now.

Chen Yu's main focus was on body-refining. The Divine Body of Four Symbols had a lot of room for improvement, and it could allow Chen Yu to increase his strength the most in a short period of time.

One day later.

Chen Yu opened two Star Acupoints.

In the beginning, his progress was fast, but that was because he had just started. Moreover, Chen Yu's physique was already strong.

The further he went, the slower he became.

In fact, Chen Yu's current speed was already pretty good. At this rate, his Celestial Physique would reach perfection in three to four years.

However, Chen Yu was pressed for time.

"It seems that I have to rely on external forces to refine my physique and open my Star Acupoints."

There were two types of external forces. The first was the Profound Turtle Pill, and the second was using the Thunder Mountain's lightning to refine his body.

The Celestial Physique introduced many ways to use external forces to speed up the opening of Star Acupoints.

For example, fire, wind, lightning, etc. Among them, lightning was the best for refining the body.

"In the Yang Family, there are no special lightning training grounds. I wonder how effective the Golden Sun Pagoda is."
