Chapter 63: He Won't Live Past Tomorrow!

~7 min read 1,368 words

The two old men also changed color: "Brat, let go of the Young City Lord!"

They never expected that Lu Tianyu would suddenly make a move, and the speed of his strike was so fast that they had no time to stop him.

At this moment, they dared not act rashly; if the Young City Lord died, they would be in big trouble.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaocui was completely stunned.

She did not expect Lu Tianyu to suddenly make a move to control Shen Zhuotian, and she let out a long sigh.

Even if he could control Shen Zhuotian, so what?

He still wouldn't be able to walk out of this Diling City!

Once he made a move, his death was sealed, and she would die too.

Lu Tianyu sneered: "Let him go? Wait for him to kill me?"

Bang! Bang!

He kicked twice in succession, shattering Shen Zhuotian's kneecaps: "I ask, you answer!"

"If you dare to lie, I will crush your neck immediately!"

As he spoke, he increased the force in his hand.

Shen Zhuotian let out a shrill scream, fell to his knees with a thud, his face flushed red.

He felt like he was about to suffocate and couldn't even shout: "Let, let, I'll talk!"

"Cough... cough..."

His eyes were filled with terror, and he did not doubt for a second that Lu Tianyu would kill him on a whim.

"Your wedding tomorrow, is it targeting Changmei Laozu?"

"Yes, yes it is! We are recruiting handsome men to attract Gui Sheng Xie Yi, trying to lure him out."

"How many Void-Piercing Stage powerhouses are you planning to deploy?"

"Three! They are all ancestors of my Nether Sect."

"Will Gui Sheng Xie Yi come?"

"This, I don't, I don't know! I really don't know!"

Slap!

Lu Tianyu slapped Shen Zhuotian unconscious, then let go of his hand!

The two old men rushed over simultaneously, swinging their palms toward Lu Tianyu's head: "Brat, go to hell!"

They thought Lu Tianyu was too stupid.

To let go after taking a hostage, without even using him to escape—it was utterly foolish!

Zhang Xiaocui screamed: "Careful!"

Her thoughts were the same as the two old men's.

Since he had taken a hostage, why let him go? Wasn't this just asking for death?

But the next second, her eyes widened.

She saw that the palms of the two old men had only struck afterimages!

"Not good!"

The two old men cried out in alarm, wanting to dodge, but it was already too late.

A heaven-shaking pressure, like Mount Tai, enveloped them, and they were instantly unable to move.

At the same time, a cold wind struck their temples.

A thought occurred to them almost simultaneously: "It's over!"

Bang! Bang!

Their heads were struck by fists flashing with golden light, shattering like watermelons.

They didn't even have time to scream before they were dead!

"Ah!"

Zhang Xiaocui shrieked: "You, you killed them, you!"

She stared at Lu Tianyu in disbelief, with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

These two old men were experts at the Out-of-Body Stage; how could they just watch their heads get blown apart without resisting?

Since when did this Lu Tianyu become so strong?

All of this exceeded her imagination.

Lu Tianyu didn't even look at Zhang Xiaocui; he formed seals with both hands and struck a mark into Shen Zhuofeng's head: "Wenbin, let's go!"

Lu Wenbin asked in confusion: "Why didn't you kill him!"

"If you killed him, wouldn't tomorrow's wedding banquet be canceled, and Great-Grandfather wouldn't come either."

Lu Tianyu shook his head slightly: "The Diling Sect's goal is Great-Grandfather; even if he dies, the Diling Sect will definitely make the wedding banquet proceed as scheduled."

A wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Besides, he won't live past tomorrow!"

He had just placed a Restriction on Shen Zhuofeng; in six hours, Shen Zhuofeng would naturally die suddenly.

Lu Wenbin suddenly realized: "I understand."

"Their goal is Great-Grandfather; even if the Young City Lord has an accident, or Xiaocui has an accident, they will find someone else to replace them."

"But when he wakes up, Diling City will be in chaos!"

Lu Tianyu sneered: "The more chaotic, the better; only when it's chaotic do we have a chance."

"Let's go."

As he spoke, he turned and walked outside.

Lu Wenbin took a deep look at Zhang Xiaocui and followed closely behind Lu Tianyu as he walked out.

His mood at this moment was extremely complicated.

Zhang Xiaocui's coldness made him somewhat disappointed, yet Zhang Xiaocui had just protected him and Lu Tianyu, begging Shen Zhuofeng to let them go.

He kept persuading himself in his heart that it was better to leave, and he would forget soon enough.

"Wait!"

Zhang Xiaocui blocked Lu Tianyu's path: "What will happen to me if you leave?"

Lu Tianyu frowned slightly: "And so?"

Zhang Xiaocui said miserably: "If they die here, the people of Diling City will think I killed them."

"When Shen Zhuofeng wakes up, he will definitely torture me. Can you, can you take me with you?"

She looked at Lu Wenbin with a voice bordering on begging: "I had no choice but to marry Shen Zhuofeng; the women of our Liuli Sect are all tools for exchanging benefits, you know that!"

"Wenbin, you know you are in my heart."

She stepped forward and grabbed Lu Wenbin's arm, her eyes brimming with tears, looking pitiful: "Take me with you."

"Wherever you go, I will go; even if I die, I want to die with you!"

With such an incident having occurred, she could not return to the Liuli Sect, so she decided to follow Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin's heart softened instantly when his hand was grabbed.

He had never been able to truly abandon Zhang Xiaocui, and he could not resist such pleading from her.

He looked at Lu Tianyu.

Lu Tianyu sighed softly: "Wenbin and I are walking on the edge of a blade right now and could encounter danger at any moment. Have you thought this through?"

He had not wanted to take Zhang Xiaocui with them.

But Zhang Xiaocui had not thought of betraying them, had even stopped Shen Zhuofeng from killing them, and had provided them with shelter.

This showed that Zhang Xiaocui still had a bottom line in her actions, and for Lu Wenbin's sake, he wavered.

Zhang Xiaocui nodded without hesitation: "I have decided."

"Don't worry, I won't be a burden to you. Wait for me a moment, I will pack my things."

A sharp light flashed in Lu Tianyu's eyes: "Leave a letter for Shen Zhuofeng, saying you will definitely be there tomorrow!"

One hour later.

Lu Tianyu brought the three of them back to the room at Lingfeng Inn.

Just as they entered the room, a hurried knocking sounded at the door: "Open up!"

Zhang Xiaocui and Lu Wenbin's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and they both looked at Lu Tianyu.

Whoever was knocking at this time must be from Lingfeng Inn, which meant they were cultivators of the Diling Sect.

And it certainly was not for anything good.

Lu Tianyu waved his hand to put Zhang Xiaocui away and slowly opened the door: "What is the matter?"

He saw the black-robed elder who had brought him into the inn, along with two followers.

However, the black-robed elder's expression was very ugly, his eyes filled with malice and cruelty.

Bang!

The black-robed elder kicked the door open and rushed directly into the room, searching everywhere.

Afterward, he conjured a portrait of a man with a fleshy face using his hand: "Have you seen this person?"

"Did you kill him!"

His voice was cold and sharp, projecting a murderous intent.

Not long ago, the fleshy-faced man had suddenly disappeared.

At first, they had not taken it seriously.

Just now, people from the Diling Sect sent word that this person's soul lamp had extinguished.

The black-robed elder immediately thought of Lu Tianyu.

Because in the front hall, the fleshy-faced man had once threatened Lu Tianyu.

And Lu Tianyu had made a harsh remark at the time: I hope you can see tomorrow's sun!
