Chapter 373: Are You Looking For Me?

"That's right, it is Mysterious Yin True Qi." A sinister look appeared on Huo Yun's face. "Originally, I didn't want to escalate things to this point. If you had just honestly taken me over, wouldn't it have been over once I took the person away? But you had to try to be clever, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Those struck by my Mysterious Yin True Qi will first feel a bone-chilling cold, and this cold radiates from within the body. For a Martial Artist in the Force Entering realm like you, you will be frozen stiff and dead within minutes."

"You, you, what, exactly, do, do you want to do? No, who, who exactly are you?" Song Tian asked through gritted teeth, as if he were using every ounce of his strength with every word he spoke.

"You weren't sent by President Kong, were you? Who exactly are you?"

"Hehehe, that's right, I was indeed not sent by President Kong." Huo Yun laughed triumphantly. "However, it is absolutely impossible for you to know my identity."

"The feeling of Mysterious Yin True Qi invading your body isn't pleasant, is it? If you want to suffer less, hurry up and take me over, do you hear me?"

"You!" Song Tian struggled to hold on, his heart filled with monstrous hatred.

The guy in front of him was definitely not a good person. If he took him to find Brother Lu, wouldn't that be like a sheep entering a tiger's den?

Although he knew in his heart that his persistence might not mean much, because everyone in the Association knew where the Alchemy Room was, and this guy could just find someone to ask and get the answer.

But even so, he would never be someone who betrayed a friend.

"It seems you are still obsessed and refuse to repent?"

Huo Yun felt provoked, a look of anger appearing on his face as he said viciously, "I forgot to tell you, those few strands of True Qi in your body also contain Cold Poison."

"If I let the Cold Poison flare up, your end won't be as simple as just being frozen stiff; your internal organs will turn into blood, and you will die in agony and wailing. How about it? Do you want to taste that feeling?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Tian's expression changed drastically, and fear instantly enveloped his entire body.

Internal organs turning into blood? Just thinking about it made one's hair stand on end and shiver with fear.

"It seems you aren't too stupid after all, so take me there." Huo Yun looked at Song Tian's terrified expression, feeling very satisfied.

"As long as I find that Lu Yu, I will naturally withdraw those strands of True Qi from your body. If you don't take me there, it won't affect me either, because there are so many people downstairs, I can just ask where the Alchemy Room is and get the answer quickly, right?"

"Brother Lu, he, he is really not, in the Alchemy Room." Song Tian said with all his remaining strength, sighing inwardly.

Brother Lu, this older brother can only do this much; I hope you have your own good fortune and can escape this disaster.

"Good, it seems you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin!" Huo Yun's face turned ferocious, his intent to kill decided.

Since that was the case, he would just send this ungrateful guy on his way first.

"Are you looking for me?"

A figure appeared at the stairwell at some unknown moment.

"Brother Lu!" Song Tian's eyes lit up, but immediately after, as if he realized something, he shouted anxiously, "Brother Lu, run! You must run!"

However, Lu Yu acted as if he hadn't heard, his gaze locked directly onto the masked man in front of him.

"Oh? You are that Lu Yu." Huo Yun was instantly ecstatic, his eyes flashing with greed.

Huo Yun had originally fully expected that finding Lu Yu would require a great deal of trouble; who would have thought that this Lu Yu would appear directly before his eyes as if he had fallen from the sky!

This was truly "searching high and low for something, only to find it without any effort at all"!

"Lu Yu, are you going to come with me obediently, or do you have to be like him and force me to take action before you're willing to listen?"

Huo Yun asked with a triumphant smile on his face, carrying a hint of mockery, his expression as if he already had victory in his grasp.

Before coming here, Xiao Zhan had told him about Lu Yu's strength, but he still wasn't entirely at ease, so he specifically searched the system for information about Lu Yu.

This search truly gave him a shock. This Lu Yu was so young, yet he was already a Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist, and it had only been a few days since he broke through from Force Transformation to the Pulse Refining Realm.

Such a breakthrough speed, let alone him, could probably not be found in the entire Nanshan Branch Martial Arts Association.

However, Huo Yun did not take this to heart.

After all, he was a genuine Lian Mai Late Stage Martial Artist, and a powerhouse who had successfully opened up his Extraordinary Meridians.

It is no exaggeration to say that within the Association, as long as one was below the True Essence Realm, he was the undisputed number one!

With such powerful strength, wouldn't taking down a Martial Artist who had just stepped into the Pulse Refining Realm be as easy as reaching into a bag to take an object?

Thinking that as long as he brought Lu Yu back, he would have an endless supply of Superior True Qi Pills, Huo Yun's lips couldn't stop trembling slightly with excitement.

"Oh, and where do you plan to take me?"

As Lu Yu spoke, his gaze inadvertently fell upon Song Tian, whose lips were now pale from the cold. His finger flicked slightly, and an invisible strand of True Essence silently merged into Song Tian's body, steadily wrapping tightly around those strands of Mysterious Yin True Qi.

"Once you go with me, you will naturally know."

Huo Yun was completely unaware of this, still speaking complacently.

"Rest assured, the place you are going is definitely not a dragon's den or a tiger's lair; at the very least, it is much safer than where you are now. Once you arrive there, you only need to focus on refining Superior True Qi Pills. You can put your heart at ease; we will certainly not treat you poorly."

Song Tian, who was to the side, couldn't help but widen his eyes upon hearing this, his face full of disbelief.

Su... Superior True Qi Pill! Brother Lu is actually already capable of refining Superior True Qi Pills?

I remember when Senior Qi Heng came last time, he said that even the headquarters found it difficult to refine many Superior True Qi Pills.

But Brother Lu actually... no, wait, how did this person in front of me know that Brother Lu could refine Superior True Qi Pills?

You must know, even I didn't know this news yet.

Lu Yu also thought of this question.

There were only three people who knew he could refine Superior True Qi Pills: President Kong, and Yao Lao and He Lao.

Then how did this person in front of him know? And looking at the other party's attire, it was clear they were intentionally hiding their identity.

Could it be that they turned around and told others at the headquarters, and then someone developed this crooked idea about him?

Or perhaps, President Kong and Tang Lao and the others were saying one thing to his face while having other plans behind his back?

Lu Yu's expression gradually became solemn, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly told you that I am capable of refining Superior True Qi Pills?"

Huo Yun was slightly stunned, then let out two strange laughs and said, "You don't need to ask about that; you just need to obediently cooperate with us."

"What if I don't cooperate?" Lu Yu continued to ask without backing down.

"Hahaha!" Huo Yun laughed loudly, his tone full of contempt. "Do you think you still have a say in this matter?"

As he spoke, he shoved Song Tian violently in front of him and said viciously, "See what this guy looks like now? Very painful, right? He has been struck by my Mysterious Yin True Qi."

"Whenever I want, I can make the Cold Poison in his body flare up, making him wish he were dead, until his internal organs turn into blood and he dies. How about it? Do you want to taste this feeling too?"
