Chapter 199: A Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator of the Blood Shadow Sect Suddenly Appears

"Ah!"

Tian Guilong suddenly let out a miserable shriek, clutching his head with both hands, "Damn brat, to think you destroyed my thread of divine soul, how is this possible!"

"Your combat power may be fierce, but you are no match for a Silver Corpse. You must have a helper in the shadows, ah!"

He raised his hand and slapped down, shattering the woman's skull: "Brat, I still underestimated you."

"But you just wait for me, I will definitely kill you!"

He had deliberately placed a Silver Corpse inside the Top-grade Spirit Vein to gift to Lu Tianyu, then sent an elder to lure away Cui Jinjia so he could kill Lu Tianyu.

As it turned out, this wisp of divine soul had been directly erased.

Yet he did not believe Lu Tianyu possessed the ability to kill a Silver Corpse; Lu Tianyu must have had other helpers.

If he had known, he should have sent one more person.

But things had reached this point, and he had no other way.

Tian Guilong immediately took out a communication bead: "Everyone of the Joyous Harmony Heaven Sect, listen up, I am issuing the first bounty order of this year."

"Whoever kills Lu Tianyu will be rewarded with a Top-grade Spirit Vein; men will be rewarded with ten wives, and women will be rewarded with ten super male concubines."

"If a young person succeeds, I can directly take them as my foster child and cultivate them as a priority."

"A reminder: this brat's combat power is comparable to a Copper Corpse, weaker than a Silver Corpse, so everyone must proceed with caution."

"I suggest you act in teams; one-on-one, you are likely no match."

He knew that the last sentence would ignite the passion of the young people in the sect; for the sake of training the youth, the elders usually sent them out.

The Joyous Harmony Heaven Sect was a major sect in the Changheng Star Domain, with many excellent young disciples in the clan, each with their own specialties in the techniques they studied.

No matter how powerful Lu Tianyu was, he could not defend against the combined efforts of several young people.

Lu Tianyu was about to enter the Changheng Academy, and his Protector could not enter, which gave the young people of the clan an opportunity.

Lu Tianyu had become a thorn in Tian Guilong's side that had to be removed!

One day later, Lu Tianyu met the big fatty.

"Does the Young Master have any instructions?" the big fatty asked with a grin.

In three days, he had obtained the medicinal pills he wanted to refine, and his heart was incomparably joyful.

He felt that following Lu Tianyu was truly a massive gain.

Usually, refining pills would cost a great price, and the pills produced were still very mediocre.

It was nothing like how Gui Shen Xie Yi had done it for free the first time, and even refined such high-quality pills.

The last trace of unwillingness from being forcibly made to submit had also completely dissipated.

Lu Tianyu said indifferently: "The shops you auctioned, including the one neighboring mine, are all handed over to you to manage."

"Additionally, I have a task for you: you are to hold down the fort at the Liuli Sect. If any powerful enemies appear, you must step forward."

The big fatty immediately agreed: "That is no problem, I will certainly not fail the Young Master's trust!"

He puffed out his chest: "I am an expert at doing business, just leave it to me, Young Master!"

Lu Tianyu nodded: "If you are unable to defeat them, you may send a message to the Bahuang Xingyu."

As he spoke, he went downstairs and took out his flying boat, preparing to leave.

Just then, a familiar woman's voice rang out: "We agreed to go to the Changheng Academy together, are you going to break your word now!"

Guo Zhuying, dressed in fluttering white clothes with black hair draped over her shoulders, appeared right in Lu Tianyu's line of sight.

She was as cold and aloof as ever, yet the gaze she directed at Lu Tianyu held an unusual expression.

Lu Tianyu patted his forehead: "Look at me, I've been so busy these past few days that I forgot."

"Let's set off now."

Guo Zhuying took out her own flying boat: "Get on."

"But we agreed this time, we take turns watching, it can't just be me alone."

She still hadn't forgotten the last time they went to the Bahuang Xingyu, when she had piloted the flying boat almost the entire way.

"Fine!" Lu Tianyu boarded the flying boat, "I'll go first."

He stood on the deck looking at the scenery ahead, while Guo Zhuying did not enter the cabin but stood behind Lu Tianyu.

Suddenly, Lu Tianyu sensed something and slowly turned his head.

He saw a middle-aged man looking like a ragged beggar sitting cross-legged behind him.

He held a gourd in his hand, tilting his head back to drink wine, while his mouth made a gurgling sound.

The blood-red liquid flowing from the beggar's gourd carried a fishy stench, yet it also had a rich aroma of wine; it looked exactly like human blood.

Lu Tianyu's expression changed instantly, he tensed every nerve in his body and placed his hand on his storage ring.

He keenly sensed that the wine the old man was drinking must contain human blood.

No matter how rich the wine's aroma was, it could not mask the scent of fresh blood.

This person was sitting right behind him, and with his Great Vehicle Stage divine sense, he hadn't even noticed him, which showed that this person was a supreme expert.

At the very least, he was a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent a voice transmission to Cui Jinjia.

Guo Zhuying, meanwhile, drew her precious sword directly.

The middle-aged man's hair was disheveled and his face looked dirty, but faint blood-colored light flickered in his eyes.

"Hehe! Brat, your vigilance is high, but it's useless. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it long ago; why wait until now?"

Thud!

The middle-aged man placed the gourd on the ground: "Brat, you really are a genius; I'm almost reluctant to kill you now."

"I'll give you a chance: submit to me, or become my disciple, otherwise you will die."

His tone was very flat, yet it carried a sense of firmness and was beyond doubt: "Don't expect your Protector to be able to protect you; if I want to kill you, no one can stop me."

Lu Tianyu felt a slight shock in his heart.

This person spoke with such arrogance; could he be a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence Stage?

Or had this person been following him all along, without him ever noticing?

He dared not doubt this person's words, so he took a deep breath: "May I ask, Senior, which sect are you from? Why do you want to kill me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Qian Gu Nu Di rang out in his mind: "This person is a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator who practices Demon race techniques; he should be from the Blood Shadow Sect."

"If he tries to kill you in a moment, temporarily hand over control of the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron to me, and I will scare him off."

Qian Gu Nu Di said solemnly: "However, if that happens, your Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron will no longer be hidden."

Lu Tianyu was greatly alarmed.

This person really was a Tribulation Transcendence Stage cultivator; if someone from the Blood Shadow Sect wanted to kill him, it was understandable.

The Blood Shadow Sect was a Demon Sect that had once appeared in the Tianhe Galaxy, and to them, any cultivator who was not of the Demon Sect was an enemy.

But if he let Qian Gu Nu Di expose the secret of the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, and this person spread the word, he would have no choice but to go into hiding and never show his face again, becoming an enemy of the entire Tianhe Galaxy.

Unless absolutely necessary, he still should not let Qian Gu Nu Di take action.

At this moment, Lu Tianyu's expression instead became calm.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man smiled slightly: "I am one of the elders of the Blood Shadow Sect."

"Now that turbid Qi is rising and clear Qi is falling throughout the entire Tianhe Galaxy, it is destined for us Demon Sect cultivators to rise; this is a gift from heaven and earth to us, and it is the inevitable trend of the Tianhe Galaxy."

"It is your good fortune that you have been chosen by me to be brought into the Blood Shadow Sect."
