Chapter 242: The Enraged Guan Jiande

Lu Tianyu shook his head with a bitter smile: "Murong Xue, why must you do this?"

Murong Xue gave a gentle smile: "I have already died once anyway."

"Besides, you are the one involved and you aren't afraid, so what do I have to fear?"

Lu Tianyu took a deep breath: "Fine!"

He then looked at Wan Ziling, Zhao Qian, Shangguan Yu'er, and the others: "Leave quickly, otherwise you will have no chance."

Wan Ziling and Zhao Qian looked at each other, their faces showing signs of hesitation.

Lu Tianyu's current situation was extremely dangerous, and although they held Lu Tianyu in awe.

At this life-or-death juncture, they could not help but feel hesitant.

However, the clever Shangguan Yu'er took a step forward, standing in front of the two: "Young Master Lu, since we have already decided to follow you, how can we go back on our word!"

"When the Young Master was surrounded by the seven disciples of the Seven Stars Sect, it was we who brought out the Mechanism Puppet for protection; from that moment on, we have already stood on your side and have no way back."

"I believe Young Master Lu is not someone who would foolishly seek death; you must have a brilliant plan to deal with the coming crisis, and you will surely protect our safety rather than letting us exert ourselves in vain."

A bright light flickered in her eyes.

Her words contained multiple layers of meaning.

First, she wanted to convey a message to Wan Ziling and Zhao Qian that even if they left here, they would still be held accountable.

Because Lu Tianyu had already taken action.

Lu Tianyu had killed people, and they were undoubtedly accomplices; if Lu Tianyu were killed or captured, they would certainly not be able to escape responsibility.

Second, she pointed out that Lu Tianyu was so calm because he was certainly not afraid of what was to come.

The implication was to have Lu Tianyu protect their safety.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianyu was slightly stunned before shaking his head: "This is your choice; I can barely protect myself, how could you know I can ensure your safety?"

He waved his hand: "You had better leave quickly, lest you be implicated."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shangguan Yu'er immediately smiled: "We are not afraid of being implicated; we are sticking with you."

"If we are to die, you will go first, and we will follow behind."

Her expression became even more determined.

Wan Ziling and Zhao Qian also came to their senses at this moment: "We are willing to follow the Young Master!"

They realized that they had no way back now; there was only one path, which was to move forward.

No matter what, the outcome would be the same, so it was better to move forward; perhaps there was still a path to survival.

But if they retreated, there would be no path to survival at all.

Lu Tianyu nodded helplessly: "Alright!"

He called out toward the sky: "Senior, please protect us; I need to cultivate for a while!"

Swish!

Amidst a flash of golden light, Cui Jinjia appeared before him holding a Golden Blade, taking the Underworld Palace from Lu Tianyu's hand: "Young Master, cultivate as you wish; no one can disturb you!"

Lu Tianyu scanned the crowd and casually entered the Underworld Palace.

He had to seize the final moments to successfully cultivate the Five Elements Sword to deal with the upcoming challenges.

For others, there was less than a day left, but for him, there was less than a year, which was enough to master the Five Elements Sword and use it proficiently.

Seeing the suddenly appearing golden-armored female general, Shangguan Yu'er's eyes lit up immediately, and she stepped forward to bow: "Junior Shangguan Yu'er of the Tianji Sect in the Changheng Star Domain, greets you, Senior!"

Although the Tianji Sect was ranked last among the top ten sects, the sect had two advantages.

One was that their formations and puppets were the best in the entire Changheng Star Domain, and the other was that their investigative and exploration skills were also very powerful, along with the Tianji Sect's art of calculation.

Shangguan Yu'er had long known that Lu Tianyu had been taken in by the ancient Hidden World Sect, the Tianjia Sect, and that they had even specifically appointed a Protector for him, which showed how much the Tianjia Sect valued Lu Tianyu.

This was the reason she followed the sect's arrangements without hesitation.

Otherwise, given her personality, she would not listen to anyone.

The golden-armored woman before her must be the Protector from the Tianjia Sect.

Cui Jinjia nodded without speaking.

Shangguan Yu'er opened her mouth as if to say something else, but observing Cui Jinjia's cold expression, she did not speak.

She quietly sent a voice transmission, telling everyone to stand behind Cui Jinjia and wait.

Seeing Cui Jinjia appear, the expression on Gu Tianchen's face became even more solemn.

Tian Vice Dean and Murong Vice Dean were almost here, yet Lu Tianyu did not show his face and instead hid inside a Space Treasure to cultivate.

This attitude was very clear: I am going to cultivate, and everything is left to Cui Jinjia to handle.

He had also heard that Cui Jinjia was from the Tianjia Sect.

However, besides Tian Vice Dean and Murong Vice Dean, there was also a Vice Dean named Guan Jiande coming this time.

Given the personalities of these people, if their own people were killed or insulted, they would absolutely not show anyone any face.

The Joyous Union Sect was a branch of the major sect in the Zhongyang Xingyu, the Joyous Union Sect, and they were not afraid of people from the Tianjia Sect either.

Lu Tianyu's actions would trigger a major conflict, and things would spiral out of control!

But it was useless for him to try to persuade him.

Lu Tianyu simply would not listen to him, which was truly a headache.

Seeing this, the crowd also showed expressions of disdain.

"This kid brought out a Protector, further intensifying the conflict; he clearly thinks he isn't dying fast enough!"

"Exactly! So arrogant and doesn't know how to restrain himself at all. He caused trouble but doesn't dare to show his face, actually hiding and letting his Protector deal with it; that's really something."

"Heh, let's stay further away; if we get caught in the crossfire of Emperor Realm cultivators, we're done for."

The onlookers scattered and moved away.

Only the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect did not leave; they were waiting for the arrival of Guan Jiande.

Just at this moment, an angry shout came from the sky: "Who is it that dares to harm the disciples of my Seven Stars Sect!"

The rumbling sound was like a thunderclap.

The crowd looked up, their expressions changing drastically one after another, trembling with fear.

Many people could not withstand the pressure and collapsed to the ground one after another.

They saw a gate surrounded by seven stars appear in the air, and a middle-aged man wearing a star robe walked out from it.

This person had a tall build, thick eyebrows, and large eyes; he was none other than Guan Jiande, the Vice Dean of the Seven Stars Sect at Changheng Academy.

He usually remained in seclusion and never came out.

This was because, with the prestige of the Seven Stars Sect as the number one sect, no one dared to provoke the Seven Stars Sect.

In fact, this was the case; the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect had always been safe and sound.

But now it was different.

Someone had actually dared to take action and poison the disciples of the Seven Stars Sect, causing the Seven Stars Sect's newly rising Seven Sons to be poisoned and fall into a coma.

This was intolerable!

Gu Tianchen knew it was bad as soon as he saw it, and he hurriedly bowed and cupped his fists: "Vice Dean Guan, the situation is like this..."

He wanted to tell the truth of the matter, thinking that as a Vice Dean, Guan Jiande would surely care about his reputation in front of everyone.

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, he was slapped away dozens of zhang by the furious Guan Jiande, spitting blood repeatedly from his mouth.

Guan Jiande roared: "I don't care who you are; anyone who dares to touch the disciples of my Seven Stars Sect is courting death!"

"Lu Tianyu, get out here!"

Among the reports he had just received was a description of Lu Tianyu's appearance.

Yet, even with his Divine Sense fully unleashed, he did not find Lu Tianyu, and he could not help but become even more furious: "If you don't speak, I will kill you all!"
