As soon as Lu Yu teleported out of the Tower of Heaven, he bent over with a clack, vomiting sour water. The people around quickly avoided Lu Yu, smelling the strong scent of blood on him, and retreated in concern.
There had been instances where a disciple, after killing too many demons inside the Tower of Heaven, unknowingly had their mind corrupted by the demonic aura, completely losing control and massacring their fellow disciples once they left the tower.
Such incidents involved disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion with certainly strong abilities, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to slaughter so many demons and be mentally affected.
A disciple of the Sea of Qi stage from the Divine Weapon Pavilion asked from a distance, "Junior brother, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just a bit dizzy," Lu Yu waved his hand and said, "A little rest and I'll be okay."
Lu Yu plopped down on the steps outside the Tower of Heaven, propping his head up with one hand, rubbing his temple.
The rapid increase in spiritual power made it difficult to control. During the teleportation, the overflow of spiritual power intensified the dizziness tenfold, causing Lu Yu to vomit as soon as he emerged.
Not sensing any demonic aura from Lu Yu, the Sea of Qi stage disciple from the Divine Weapon Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief, telling the people around, "Don't worry, he doesn't have any demonic aura and hasn't been mentally corrupted."
"Phew~ that's good, really gave us quite a scare."
"What the hell! Why act so scary when there's nothing going on?" Someone complained, but their companion quickly dragged them away. Regardless, Lu Yu's aura was overwhelmingly strong, not someone they could afford to provoke.
"Is that Lu Yu?" A disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion said in surprise.
The people beside them also turned to look at Lu Yu, comparing him with the portrait in their hands, and excitedly exclaimed, "It's really him, finally found him, let's follow him and see where he lives?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NoveI-Fire.ɴet
After resting for a while, the pulsating blood vessels by Lu Yu's temples calmed down, and he barely managed to perform the Heaven's Edge Ruler Step, transforming into a rainbow as he flew towards the bamboo forest cottage.
Due to the surge in spiritual power, his flying speed increased considerably, though his flight was a bit unstable.
"Damn! He's flying too fast, we can't even keep up!"
"Don't chase, just see which direction he lands and we'll go there slowly."
The two flew upwards, and after gaining altitude, they saw the red light that was Lu Yu fly into the distance, eventually landing behind a mountain peak in Heaven-Breaking City.
"He doesn't live in Heaven-Breaking City? It seems he might have been taken in by an elder," He Hao contemplated.
Ordinary disciples not taken in as registered or direct disciples by an elder could only reside in Heaven-Breaking City and couldn't casually establish their own caves in the secret realm.
Only elders had the right to establish caves.
If one achieved accomplishments in Artifact Refining, they could join the group of artifact refiners at the Heavenly Fire Furnace and acquire a dedicated artifact refining room there.
Array Masters and Talisman Masters had their own gathering places, some within Heaven-Breaking City, some not.
For ordinary disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, their activity area was limited to Heaven-Breaking City and the Tower of Heaven, or occasionally venturing into dangerous areas within the secret realm to complete missions.
Within the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm, there weren't just Martial Cultivators, but also many beasts reared by elders, wild beasts, powerful monsters restricted to specific zones, as well as heavenly materials and treasures, millennium divine herbs...
But those things were extremely dangerous.
Some were purposely preserved by the higher-ups of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, guarded by specially assigned beasts, others were relics from the early days of opening the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm, located in highly perilous areas.
Lu Yu sat on his bed, looking at his hands with some helplessness.
First, he got injured from practicing the Blood Burning Secret Technique, and then the Mind Battle Technique caused his brain to overload.
Today truly was a streak of bad luck, with both his body and spiritual power encountering issues one after the other.
"Seems like I need to stabilize my strength for a while, to digest the power surge from recent times."
Having thought things through, Lu Yu lay down on the bed and logged out of the game.
Two figures sneakily approached the bamboo forest cottages and, after sensing the aura within a few of them, discovered that there was no one there.
He Hao said helplessly, "Where has he gone? Why can't we find him anywhere?"
"Could he have teleported out of the secret realm?" Li Jian speculated.
"Continuing to chase is pointless. He can teleport out of the secret realm at any time, so we have no chance of contacting him alone," He Hao complained.
"If only we could make him come and contact us," He Hao said.
Li Jian's eyes gleamed with an idea, "Last time when the He family sought Lin Tao for an account, didn't they get a piece of information from him?"
"Lin Tao said Lu Yu was cultivating a kind of purple-black flame. Don't you know where that flame is? If we pass the news to Lu Yu, he'd definitely want to subdue that flame, and we can take the opportunity to..."
He Hao hesitated, "There's more than one type of purple-black flame, it might not be the spiritual fire he's cultivating."
"Doesn't matter whether it is or not, as long as it looks similar, he'll definitely be interested. Subduing a spiritual fire for a Martial Cultivator greatly boosts their fire spiritual power cultivation, he won't be able to resist," Li Jian said indifferently.
"Let's give it a try then!" He Hao, lacking a better plan, could only agree with Li Jian's suggestion.
