Chapter 173: Handling a Private Mission

Cui Jinjia looked up at the pitch-black building: "This Space Treasure is actually an Innate Spirit Treasure; its grade is very high, but it is a pity that it is an Innate Evil Treasure."

"Just refining this treasure likely requires at least ten million people!"

Lu Tianyu naturally also saw the extraordinary nature of this tall building, but he did not have as detailed a judgment as Cui Jinjia.

A thick look of doubt appeared in his eyes: "The Ancestor and the main backbone are all dead; instead of fleeing, they are refining a treasure. It seems they have great confidence in this treasure."

Cui Jinjia, however, snorted: "A Space Treasure is just a Space Treasure; its offensive capabilities are generally not very powerful."

"This treasure is not necessarily used for defense and counterattacks."

Lu Tianyu gave an 'oh': "It's not necessarily used for defense or attack, then what is it used for?"

"Could it be for escaping?"

Cui Jinjia was noncommittal: "There is that possibility. Space Treasures have the ability to traverse space when escaping, and they will shuttle to places you cannot imagine."

"However, I cannot be certain yet; we have to go inside and see to know."

Lu Tianyu nodded: "Let's go in and see what kind of scheme they are up to."

"Awoo, awoo, awoo~"

The Demon Dog squatted on Lu Tianyu's shoulder, twitching its nose vigorously: "I smell a rich, bloody scent. They must have killed many people inside, and it's the fresh blood of living people."

It licked its lips: "I get excited when I smell fresh blood; I really want to drink a couple of mouthfuls."

Slap!

Lu Tianyu patted it: "You need to change this habit of drinking blood."

"Some blood is not to be drunk."

The Demon Dog hummed a few times: "Master, you underestimate me. I can drink any kind of blood; even if it's poisonous blood, I can drink it."

"Netherworld Energy, Demonic Energy, and Spiritual Energy, I can absorb them all. My stomach can absorb everything!"

"But I listen to Master. Whatever Master tells me to drink, I will drink. I am very obedient."

Lu Tianyu pointed at the two guards at the door: "Later, when we get to the door, swallow them both first. Right, make them disappear directly; don't let outsiders see."

Upon hearing that it was to swallow people, the Demon Dog's pitch-black eyes immediately lit up: "That's simple, watch me!"

Having smelled the bloody scent, it was already impatient to act, and upon hearing Lu Tianyu's words, it immediately took action.

It pursed its mouth into a whistle shape and took a breath toward one of them!

Whoosh!

Just like that, this Golden Core stage member of the Kulu Zong disappeared; with a 'swish', he vanished, sucked directly into its stomach.

It even saved the process of chewing.

However, Lu Tianyu faintly heard the cultivator's scream; it came from inside the Demon Dog's stomach, the sound as low as a mosquito's.

The cultivator on the side suddenly disappeared, and the cultivator on the other side immediately became alert.

He stood up with a 'whoosh', his Golden Core stage aura erupting, enveloping everyone who had entered, his expression grave.

The person with him was his twin brother; the moment his brother disappeared, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

His brother was currently enduring cruel torture, and he could hear his brother's shrill wails and screams in his ears.

He immediately understood that his brother had been snatched away by someone, and he could not help but raise his vigilance to the highest level.

Scanning the scene, he immediately spotted Lu Tianyu, who stood out from the crowd, as well as Cui Jinjia wearing golden battle armor, and the Demon Dog licking its lips.

His brother's screams were coming from this black dog; there could be no mistake.

He could not see through the cultivation of Lu Tianyu and Cui Jinjia, nor could he see through the Demon Dog's cultivation, and he immediately knew that things were going to go wrong.

These three were clearly not ordinary mortals, so they must be enemies.

Moreover, these three fellows were all very powerful.

"Ah!" He let out a cry of alarm, but it was already too late to say anything else.

His consciousness went blank with a 'boom', and then his body flew up involuntarily, crashing toward the blood-red maw.

Almost instantly, he entered a dark, bloody space; sticky liquid wrapped around his body, and sharp pain surged through him.

His ears and nose disappeared directly, and the skin on his body also vanished; he also heard his brother's final scream before death.

Following that, he also let out a scream and lost consciousness.

"Master, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back; now they've discovered us!"

"Leave these people to me later; I'll bite them all to death, I promise not to drink their blood!"

The Demon Dog had not expected this person to react so quickly and let out a scream.

Lu Tianyu shook his head: "It doesn't matter; we were going to make a move anyway!"

He certainly could not enter this Space Treasure.

Although he had two companions at the Great Vehicle Stage, he did not want to go inside and be seen through, inviting unnecessary trouble.

The owner of a Space Treasure has absolute control over their own space and can suppress the cultivation of others; he was afraid of accidents.

The mortals present also heard the scream, and then, being enveloped by a powerful aura, they were immediately terrified.

"Who dares to run wild in the Chengzhu Fu!"

A violent shout rang out!

A black shadow teleported from the top of the tall building to the top of everyone's heads: "Get out here and accept your death!"

This person was nine feet tall, with a white face and a long beard, but the aura on his body was sinister and terrifying.

As his robes billowed, bursts of ghostly wailing and howling sounds rushed toward the crowd, mixed with black, sinister winds blowing toward them.

Thump, thump, thump~

How could the mortals present withstand the pressure of an Integration Stage cultivator? They collapsed to the ground one after another, shivering.

Some old people were scared to the point of kicking and convulsing, and soon they had no movement left.

Only Lu Tianyu and his group stood motionless; one look and it was clear that these three were the ones behind this.

However, he then furrowed his brows tightly and cupped his fists, saying, "I do not know what business brings the two of you to my Kulu Zong?"

"My Kulu Zong is currently handling private business; if you have matters to attend to, you may wait outside, and once I have finished handling my affairs, I will invite the two of you in."

He saw that Lu Tianyu was only a cultivator at the Heart Movement Stage and did not pay him any mind, but the cultivation of the golden-armored woman was unfathomable, so he immediately lowered his posture.

He saw that Cui Jinjia took Lu Tianyu as the lead and spoke directly to Lu Tianyu.

At the same time, he raised his vigilance, prepared to strike at any moment.

The great matter was about to succeed; in a moment, he would take his own people and quietly disappear, so no matter who they were, he could make them wait.

At this moment, he had to endure; it was the most critical moment of the Blood Refining, and no mistakes could be tolerated.

"Handling private business? Why don't you say that you are treating these people like piglets, bringing them in to slaughter them?"

Lu Tianyu sneered: "Your Kulu Zong has done every evil deed, and today it is time to accept punishment."

"Release everyone from your Space Treasure, cripple your own cultivation, kowtow to everyone in Mingwang Cheng to apologize, recount all the deeds your Kulu Zong has committed over these years, and then commit suicide!"

"If I catch you, you will wish you were dead!"

He said coldly.

The long-bearded old man's expression changed drastically upon hearing this: "Who exactly are you, and from which faction?"

"It seems my Kulu Zong has not offended you!"
