The Langya Heavenly Sect, where inner sect disciples resided.
A young man of seventeen or eighteen was cultivating in his courtyard.
This young man was none other than Lu Tian Ming, a descendant of the Lu Wangfu's outer branch.
Since he had awakened a trace of the Beast Heart Heaven's Mandate two years ago, he was sent by his family to the Langya Heavenly Sect, which possessed the Beast Taming Art.
Lu Tian Ming, who was quietly meditating in his own courtyard, suddenly sensed a voice transmission jade talisman falling into the courtyard.
Seeing this, Lu Tian Ming retrieved the voice transmission jade talisman and immediately checked it.
After a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, "Elder Feng Yu is looking for me!?"
Lu Tian Ming couldn't help but ponder.
Why would this elder, who rarely appeared, suddenly seek him out?
Could it be that the investigation he was assigned by the family had been discovered by the sect?
At the thought of this, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
He knew that Elder Feng Yu was in charge of intelligence and such matters.
He didn't think this was a good thing for him to be summoned out of the blue.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately communicated with his soul-old master, Ming Lao, in his sea of consciousness.
"Ming Lao, what realm has your soul cultivation recovered to?"
As soon as Lu Tian Ming's words fell, a calm voice sounded in his sea of consciousness.
"Barely Soul Palace Realm!"
Hearing this, Lu Tian Ming was overjoyed and immediately said,
"Ming Lao, if I'm in danger later, you have to intervene. If I die, you won't be able to restore your true form."
"Don't worry, since this old man has promised you that I will intervene when your life is in danger, I will naturally not go back on my word!"
Hearing the words coming from his sea of consciousness, Lu Tian Ming felt relieved.
Then, after tidying up a little, Lu Tian Ming left his courtyard and headed towards Elder Feng Yu's Spirit Peak.
Not long after, Lu Tian Ming arrived at Elder Feng Yu's cave mansion.
Glancing at Feng Yu who sat in the first seat, Lu Tian Ming didn't dare to be negligent and immediately stepped forward to respectfully greet him.
"Disciple Lu Tian Ming, greets Elder Feng Yu!"
"I wonder if Elder Feng Yu has any tasks for your disciple to do?"
Feng Yu's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and he nodded, "Indeed, the sect does have a task that needs to be completed by you."
"And only you can complete it. I called you here specifically for this matter."
Hearing this, Lu Tian Ming couldn't help but start to speculate. A task that only he could complete, could it be that he possessed something special that caught the eye of this elder?
As his thoughts turned, he immediately assured him, "Your disciple will do his utmost to complete the task for the sect!"
Seeing Lu Tian Ming's eagerness, Feng Yu nodded slightly.
Then, he didn't beat around the bush and directly probed, "If the sect sends you back to Lu Wangfu to investigate some information, would you be willing to go?"
Hearing this, Lu Tian Ming was shocked. He never imagined that the sect would send him back to his family to investigate.
Wasn't this asking him to betray his own family?
Could it be that the investigation he was assigned by the family was indeed a scheme by the sect?
For a moment, Lu Tian Ming's eyes flickered as his heart raced.
"What, you're not willing?"
Seeing Lu Tian Ming's expression, Feng Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice deepened.
At the same time, an aura of a Xuan Dan Realm eighth-level master faintly emanated from him and enveloped Lu Tian Ming.
Sensing the oppressive aura, Lu Tian Ming gritted his teeth slightly and replied,
"Your disciple is willing!"
Although Lu Tian Ming said this, he had already made up his mind to report this to the Prince when he returned to the family. He would simply not return to the Langya Heavenly Sect.
To make him betray his family was out of the question.
However, he was currently under someone else's roof, so he had to bow his head.
Hearing Lu Tian Ming's answer, a meaningful smile appeared on Feng Yu's face.
"Very well!"
"If you can complete the task this time, the sect will not treat you poorly."
With that, he flickered and appeared before Lu Tian Ming.
Then, he took out a bug egg and handed it to Lu Tian Ming, "This is a Soul Locking Soul Devouring Bug egg. If you truly agree to go to Lu Wangfu to investigate information for the sect, swallow it."
Soul Locking Soul Devouring Bug!
Hearing these words, Lu Tian Ming's face changed completely. How could they not know how terrifying this kind of bug was?
Once he swallowed this egg, it would immediately parasitize his sea of consciousness, and with his own abilities, he would be unable to expel it.
As long as he made any suspicious moves, the person controlling this bug would be able to take his life at any time and place. This extremely vicious danger would be a constant companion by his side.
It could be said that once this bug took root in his sea of consciousness, his life and death would no longer be in his own hands.
"What, not willing?"
Seeing Lu Tian Ming's constantly changing expression, Feng Yu's voice became colder.
Lu Tian Ming's eyes flickered, communicating with Ming Lao in his sea of consciousness while cursing Feng Yu in his heart a hundred times.
This old man seemed amiable on the surface, but he was actually extremely vicious behind his back.
Truly, one should not judge a person by their appearance!
Want to control me?
Old man, do you really think you have me under your thumb today?
Then I will fight you today and see who will win!
After quickly communicating with Ming Lao in his sea of consciousness, Lu Tian Ming finally calmed himself down and replied, "Your disciple is willing!"
With that, he raised his right hand and prepared to take the bug egg.
Seeing this, Feng Yu nodded in his heart and felt a sense of relief.
However, at this moment, a flicker of cold light flashed in Lu Tian Ming's eyes.
Just as he was about to take the bug egg from the other party, his aura suddenly changed, and a terrifying aura suddenly gathered in his palm.
Just as Feng Yu sensed something was wrong, Lu Tian Ming's big hand had already landed heavily on Feng Yu's chest.
Bang!
A sound of broken ribs rang out, and Feng Yu, like a cooked shrimp, was sent flying.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood while still in mid-air.
This attack by Lu Tian Ming was infused with seven to eight tenths of Ming Lao's strength. With a surprise attack, he could indeed injure a Xuan Dan Realm cultivator.
"You're courting death!"
Feng Yu's reaction was not slow. Before he completely fell to the ground, he stabilized himself.
His face was now like 万年寒冰 (a metaphor for something extremely cold), his eyes filled with a murderous glint. He never expected that he would be attacked by this ant that he didn't take seriously.
Without a word, he suppressed his injuries for the time being and then immediately reached out to suppress Lu Tian Ming.
Lu Tian Ming didn't expect that this old man's reaction would be so quick and decisive.
"Ming Lao, hurry!"
At the same time, Lu Tian Ming hurriedly called out in his heart.
The next moment, Lu Tian Ming's entire aura suddenly changed, and a Xuan Dan Realm peak aura surged out.
Feng Yu, who had just made his move, was stunned upon sensing this aura, "Impossible!"
However, Lu Tian Ming didn't bother to explain. He pushed out a palm, shattering Feng Yu's palm of energy, and then, like lightning, pressed down on Feng Yu.
Bang!
Energy surged, and the entire cave mansion's defensive array was triggered, with streaks of defensive array patterns appearing.
Feng Yu was unable to resist this blow at all and was immediately suppressed to the ground.
Immediately, Lu Tian Ming flickered and appeared in front of Feng Yu. With a flick of his finger, he immediately sealed the other party's energy.
With Ming Lao's help, Lu Tian Ming's series of actions were smooth and fast, and he instantly suppressed Feng Yu.
The next moment, Lu Tian Ming didn't bother with any words and directly started to search Feng Yu's soul.
After a while, Lu Tian Ming withdrew his divine sense, his eyes filled with a cold gleam.
"My Lu family members were indeed killed by you while they were vying for opportunities overseas!"
"Absolutely despicable!"
Thinking of the information he had just discovered, Lu Tian Ming was about to kill Feng Yu, but thinking of his current situation, he immediately stopped his actions.
If he killed Feng Yu directly at this moment, the sect would quickly discover it.
However, he didn't have a Sumeru Cave Mansion on him, and he couldn't take this person out of the sect.
How could he deal with this old man?
After pondering for a while, Lu Tian Ming directly destroyed Feng Yu's dantian and then destroyed his limbs.
Finally, he took out a Seven Deadly Poison Pill and forcibly fed it to him, so that he could live for a few more days, and also buy himself time to escape.
This old man had wanted to control him before, and now Lu Tian Ming certainly wouldn't show any mercy to him.
After doing this, Lu Tian Ming immediately looted all of the other party's treasures, then walked out of Feng Yu's cave mansion openly.
Fortunately, Feng Yu's entire cave mansion was protected by a powerful defensive array. Otherwise, the commotion just now would have alarmed the old masters within the sect.
Without any hesitation, after leaving Feng Yu's cave mansion, Lu Tian Ming immediately headed towards the sect gate.
He had to leave the Langya Heavenly Sect quickly before Feng Yu was discovered by the sect and return to Lu Wangfu to report the information he had discovered.
More than an hour later.
Lu Tian Ming had already left the Langya Heavenly Sect and was driving a jade flying boat at full speed towards the North Source Prefecture.
The Langya Heavenly Sect was not within North Source Prefecture, and it was still separated from North Source Prefecture by a Flame Sun Prefecture. Even if he rushed at full speed, it would still take a considerable amount of time.
He had to hurry back to Lu Wangfu and tell his family about the information he had found out.
He had thought that by the time the sect discovered Feng Yu, he should have already returned home.
However, what Lu Tian Ming didn't expect was that after only two hours, someone entered Elder Feng Yu's cave mansion and discovered the near-dead Feng Yu.
Upon learning this, Sect Leader Song Yan was furious and immediately issued a pursuit order.
"Second Elder, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, you three immediately leave the sect and see if you can catch Lu Tian Ming and bring him back, regardless of life or death!"
Song Yan couldn't possibly guess that someone else must have helped him to be able to injure Feng Yu like this. How could he be careless? He immediately dispatched three elders.
Not long after, these three elders left the sect under Song Yan's orders and headed towards Lu Wangfu.
