984. Chapter 982: Far Beyond Reach

And Lin Feiyu slew three giant demon wolves with a single sword, his manner calm and casual.

From this, one can see how terrifying Lin Feiyu's combat power is, far surpassing Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan secretly felt fortunate; if he hadn't happened to meet Xiao Yang, he would likely have died already.

"As expected of Senior Brother Lin, his strength is indeed formidable!" Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes blazing, wishing he could rush to Lin Fu at once to seek Lin Feiyu's help.

However, he knew that Lin Feiyu was a vicious and despicable person.

"I wonder if Senior Brother Lin has already completed the assessment and gained eligibility to join the Holy Martial Academy," Lu Yuan thought eagerly, his desire to join the Holy Martial Academy growing stronger.

Soon after, he gathered his spirit and began to focus on seeking opportunities.

This canyon is vast and boundless, dangers everywhere; even if an opportunity appeared, he might not be able to obtain it.

Moreover, the canyon is rampant with vicious birds and ferocious beasts; a slight mistake would bury one in the jaws of wild beasts.

Precisely for this reason, over the years, few have dared to enter the canyon unless protected by a strong guardian.

"Roar!" Suddenly, a frightened roar came, followed immediately by the clashing sounds of fierce combat.

"It seems a big creature is hidden here!" Lu Yuan frowned slightly, a sense of wariness rising in his heart.

When Lu Yuan arrived at the source of the sound, what met his eyes were two youths facing off against each other.

Both youths were at the ninth layer of Body Tempering, wearing identical attire with golden cloud patterns embroidered on their chests.

The golden cloud patterns symbolize nobility and honor.

They are royal descendants of the Shengwu Dynasty, Lu Yuan's paternal cousins—Lu Feilong and Lu Feifeng.

"How did you end up here?" Seeing Lu Yuan, Lu Feilong's expression suddenly changed drastically as he asked in shock.

"Hmph!" Lu Yuan let out a cold snort from his nose, mocking: "I not only want to be here, but also to snatch this place's treasure right before your eyes."

"Nonsense!" Lu Feilong snorted derisively: "Do you think the opportunity here belongs to you?"

"Is this yours?" Lu Yuan shook his head, teasing: "Lu Feilong, you're too arrogant!"

Lu Yuan utterly disbelieved Lu Feilong's nonsense; this place was discovered by Lu Feilong, so how could it be his?

"Enough talk; today I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of our uncle!" Lu Feilong shouted coldly, his form flickering as he instantly closed in on Lu Yuan.

"Hmph!" Lu Yuan showed no fear, charging forward head-on.

Both are at the Body Tempering Realm; who will win remains unknown.

"Boom—!"

In an instant, they became entangled in a melee, the fierce combat sounds deafening.

After a brief exchange, Lu Yuan was slightly at a disadvantage, firmly suppressed by Lu Feilong, unable to break free.

"Your cultivation is lower than mine; I can kill you in one move!" Lu Feilong's face full of contempt, his attacks grew more overbearing, his fists and legs swelling wildly.

Lu Yuan was blown back by a palm strike from Lu Feilong, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, his face paling considerably.

"You're no match for me; leave quickly, lest you lose your life!" Lu Feilong said in a low voice.

"Lu Yuan, since you're here, why rush to leave? Why not sit down for a cup of tea before you go?" At that moment, Lin Feiyu walked over slowly, a faint smile on his lips.

"Lin Feiyu! How do you know I'm here?" Upon seeing Lin Feiyu, Lu Yuan's expression suddenly froze, filled with shock, a long-buried memory surfacing in his mind.

"Hehe." Lin Feiyu gave an embarrassed smile, offered no explanation, but waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to stop: "Feilong, first take him to my room to rest."

"Yes!" Lu Feilong respectfully accepted the order, immediately hoisting Lu Yuan and sprinting toward the mountain peak. Watching Lu Yuan disappear into the distance, Lin Feiyu curled the corner of his mouth into a sinister arc, muttering: "When you finally understand everything, you may suffer immensely, but I hope you can endure."

Both Lin Feiyu and Lu Yuan possess royal blood; their fathers are both the current Grand Marshal, Lu Zhangsheng.

Lu Zhangsheng has many descendants, among whom the most outstanding is Lu Yuan.

It's a pity that, although Lu Yuan possesses royal blood, his cultivation talent is mediocre; to this day he still lingers at the eighth layer of Body Tempering.

In contrast, the other Lu Feiyu cultivates at an astonishing speed; in less than half a year he has already reached the twelfth layer of Body Tempering.

The gap between them is obvious at a glance! Lin Feiyu dislikes Lu Yuan, even wishing he would die in the jaws of a demon beast.

But, if he wishes to smoothly inherit the position of Family Head, he must eradicate all roots, leaving no trouble! "Huff!"

Lu Yuan was dragged all the way into the house, only regaining consciousness after lying on the bed.

"What is that?" As Lu Yuan's gaze fell upon a black stone tablet on the desk, he felt a chill run down his spine.

The black stone tablet is about a zhang in length, entirely dark, exuding an ancient aura that gives a sinister feeling.

Lu Yuan stared intently at the black stone tablet; the longer he looked, the more familiar it seemed, as if he had seen it before.

"This stone tablet looks somewhat familiar; could it be the legendary 'Demonic Source Stone'?" After a moment, Lu Yuan's eyes lit up excitedly.

"That's right! It is the 'Demonic Source Stone'!" Just then, Lin Feiyu strolled into the house at leisure.

As Lin Feiyu approached, Lu Yuan immediately rose to his feet.

"I heard you want to seize the 'Demonic Source Stone'?" Lin Feiyu gazed at Lu Yuan with interest.

"I do want it, but do I have the capability?" Lu Yuan shook his head and sighed.

Upon hearing that, Lin Feiyu grinned broadly, teasing: "If I help you, you should be able to manage it, right?"

"How do you propose to do it?" Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, asking probing.

"It's simple; you just need to obediently cooperate with me." Lin Feiyu gave a sly smile, then took a pill from his storage ring.

"This is a Spirit Transformation Pill; after you take it, remember not to entertain any thoughts of resistance." Lin Feiyu tossed the pill to Lu Yuan.

The Spirit Transformation Pill is a top-grade elixir of the first rank, worth a fortune; its market price is at least three thousand pieces of top-grade true crystal.

"Lin Feiyu, you actually dare to produce a Spirit Transformation Pill to tempt me?" Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

"Hahaha!" Lin Feiyu laughed loudly, not answering but counter-questioning: "Do you think I'm doing this merely for profit?"

"Isn't that the case?" Lu Yuan wondered.

"I'm doing it for revenge, more precisely for vengeance!" Lin Feiyu's eyes flashed with icy cold light.

Seeing Lin Feiyu's demeanor, Lu Yuan's heart filled with worry, thinking to himself: "No wonder when I mentioned the news of the Lu Family's eldest heir to him, his attitude was so resolute."

"It turns out it was to avenge Lu Hao!" Lu Yuan suddenly understood, guessing everything.

However, even so, Lu Yuan still refused, saying in a deep voice: "This matter has nothing to do with Lu Hao; you've got the wrong person!"

"Hmph! I advise you not to delude yourself!" Lu Feiyu snorted coldly, sternly saying: "If you don't do as I say, your only ending is death!"

Lu Yuan fell silent; he knew well that Lu Feiyu's words were not empty—once he defied Lu Feiyu's will, he would surely be silenced.

Seeing this, Lu Feiyu's face revealed a ferocious, cruel smile, saying: "Lu Yuan, you'd better not test my patience; you should know the price of angering me!" (End of chapter)
