Limitless - Chapter 123: Beheading the dog

It immediately let out a whine.

Chu Yu’s attack was too vicious. It was pure energy morphed into an invisible spear which penetrated the Black Dog Small Lord’s body.

It entered through its neck and out its *ss, going through its entire body!

This wave of energy had completely snuffed out much of the blood, bones and cartilage of the Black Dog Small Lord, causing its cultivation realm to plummet from Xiantian!

In that instant, the Black Dog Small Lord felt a thick cloud of death envelope it.

At this critical juncture, the hair on its body raised and it barked loudly, "Woof woof woof woof!"

Then, it shook its body... almost like how it would shake off water after running through the rain.

All the fur on its body fell to the floor.

They were little mines filled with steel nails, and they exploded immediately!

They covered the entire area and fired towards the banquet hall.

Every strand of hair was faster than the speed of sound!

Even though most of it was directed at Chu Yu, a portion of it was directed at the crowd.

Villa Owner Dong’s expression was solemn as he took out a painting from thin air to block virtually all of the fur.

Ding ding ding...

The storm of fur hit the painting, the sound of the impact resonating throughout the room, but none of them managed to pass through.

Only then did Villa Owner Dong reveal his aura.

That oppressive aura was that of a King’s Realm cultivator!

A true cultivator doesn’t reveal himself!

Even Chu Yu did not imagine that this Villa Owner, who looked like a government official, was a true expert.

The Sacred Art from Villa Owner Dong had also helped Chu Yu block the fur.

Having shot out all of its fur, the black dog had become completely naked. Without a moment's hesitation, it turned and ran!

"Woof! The Dong... and the Chu b*stard, you will all die! Woof woof woof!"

Blood still dripped from its wounds. Coupled with it firing off all of its fur had made it very weak.

However, it needed to escape and report this to the Green Lion Lord.

But the Green Lion Lord was still at Jingpo Lake, and was not back yet. Else, you scums will be dead... as long as the lord so wishes!

"Leave your blood here, tonight, I will feast on your meat!"

What cause the Black Dog Small Lord to jump in fear was that the Chu Clan person gave chase.

He was bellowing behind him. His words caused it extreme fury and it wanted to turn its head to bite him.

But it didn’t dare, this man from the Chu Clan was too powerful!

He was a real expert!

Chu Yu’s speed was terrifyingly fast. Within a few steps, he had already caught up to the Black Dog Small Lord.

A dazzling ancient sword appeared in his hands.

Almost as if it felt something, the Black Dog Small Lord looked back in aghast, unable to hold back its terrified scream.

"Ow..."

Chu Yu’s blade fell!

With a single chop, he had beheaded the Black Dog Small Lord.

A large amount of blood sputtered out, but it was all collected by Chu Yu using a small storage bottle.

This storage bottle was given to him by Shishi, not only could it contain dead animals, it could trap live ones as well.

However, its space was limited and could only contain one at any one time.

The beheaded Black Dog Small Lord did not die immediately. It’s eyes glowed with hatred as it stared Chu Yu down, "If you dare to kill me, the Green Lion Lord will never let you off! I am its loyal subordinate, it will definitely avenge me!"

Chu Yu was too lazy to argue. He walked over and sliced the dog’s head into half.

The Black Dog Small Lord died instantly.

Chu Yu turned back to look in the direction of the Black Dragon Lake Mountain Villa. Then he took the body of the headless puppy and disappeared from here in a few bounds.

He never returned to the Flying Dragon Lake Villa.

Even if the villa owner wasn’t trying to harm him, Chu Yu did not want anything to do with him for right now.

For a King’s Realm cultivator to hide so well, this person was well versed... in more than just cultivation.

Furthermore, he had deep links to the government!

Regardless of good or evil, Chu Yu did not like dealing with people with links to the government.

Furthermore, Chu Yu now understood that the Villa Owner Dong’s motive for linking up with the Chu Clan was likely so that they could join forces to fight the Green Lion Lord.

From Chu Yu’s point of view, he was more likely to be making use of the Chu Clan.

Villa Owner Dong did not give chase. He stood at the entrance to the banquet hall and stared into the distance.

Then, his fingers began counting. He frowned, sighed, and shook his head.

Then, he turned his gaze back.

He scanned the faces of all the people in the Flying Dragon Lake Villa.

He snickered coldly, "Amongst you... there is actually someone who linked up with the other side, and tried to put the blame on me? You have spoilt my plans to link up with the Chu Clan, good, very good!"

The crowd was completely silent, no one daring to look him in the eye.

Virtually no one on the outside knew how scary this owner of the Flying Dragon Lake Villa was.

In the past 20 years, he had come across a great opportunity in an ancient monument right here at the Flying Dragon Lake.

He was adept in more than just the Divination Technique.

These years, under his management, the Flying Dragon Lake Villa has been relatively low profile, but it has been growing stronger steadily.

For example, a youthful Invigorated Meridian Realm expert like Zhao Rui was one of the core disciples trained by Villa Owner Dong!

One must understand that cultivating Invigorated Meridian martial artist was a tall task, even for an underworld clan like the Chu Clan.

This was testament to the power of Villa Owner Dong!

If not for the sudden appearance of the Green Lion Lord, no one would have known that a small city like Dan Jiang would be hiding such an expert.

Even right now, not many people knew that Villa Owner Dong was this powerful!

Now, he was extremely furious, someone definitely leaked the news.

No, no, it wasn’t a leak, someone... betrayed him!

Villa Owner Dong said icily, "You all may only remember that it is difficult to predict the actions of those around me. But you all don’t know this, difficult does not mean impossible!"

In the square in front of the banquet hall, there were about 40-50 people.

All of them were people that Villa Owner Dong had spent time and effort to cultivate.

"I can know everything about any one of you here. How comprehensive you ask? Probably more comprehensive than your parents!"

Villa Owner Dong’s gaze was icy, but his tone was filled with pain.

"I am saying this not to threaten you all, but I do feel... heartache!"

"I would never have thought that there would be a traitor in the Flying Dragon Lake Villa!"

"On the surface, you are servers, chefs, security, cleaners... but in actual fact, you are al my disciples! And I treat all of you like my children!"

Villa Owner Dong’s voice was raised, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"Villa owner..."

From the crowd, a youth donned in chef’s clothing dropped to the ground crying, "I am sorry, I deserve to die... please execute me, I, I was afraid they would attack us and kill you, so... so I begged them and told them that your interaction with the Chu Clan was simply a moment of folly... hu hu, sorry, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

"Liu Zhuang, leave, just leave. Go wherever you want, don’t come back." Villa Owner Dong sighed and waved his hand.

In fact, someone as skilled in divination as him could easily determine who the traitor was. In fact, he didn’t even need to use divination, all he had to do was observe them.

He knew this group of people too well.

On the surface, Villa Owner Dong looked very solemn and shrewd, but in actual fact, he was a very compassionate man.

In this rapidly rising cultivation world, he had never thought of claiming the world for himself. All he wanted to do was to run his own Flying Dragon Lake Villa in peace.

He had treated this place like an escape from the real world.

He treated everyone around him very well. He gave them targeted coaching based on their personal strengths and weaknesses.

He gained much satisfaction from such mentoring.

As such, even in the face of betrayal, he could not bring himself to punish the man. He knew that this was not right, but he could not bring himself to do it.

Liu Zhuang was stunned, tears streaming down his face. He could even feel the disappointed gazes of his friends who he had grown up with.

"I was wrong, Villa Owner, I made a terrible mistake!"

Liu Zhuang suddenly took out a knife and pointed it at his chest.

Many of the people gasped in shock.

"Ah!"

"Don’t..."

"No!"

But it was too late, Liu Zhuang was a martial artist in the advanced stages of the Acupoint Charging Realm. If he wanted to commit suicide, no ordinary man could stop him.

The sharp knife had already penetrated his heart!

His face paled and he fell to his knees. With his final breath, he looked at Villa Owner Dong.

"Father, I’m sorry!"

After he finished, he fell to the ground and died.

At the moment when Liu Zhuang had brandished the knife to commit suicide, Villa Owner Dong had the ability to prevent the suicide from happening.

However, he hesitated, and did not expect that Liu Zhuang would be so decisive.

As he watched Liu Zhuang die, his eyes became watery as he fought to hold his tears.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "He is dead, it’s all over. Give him a proper burial..."

As he spoke, he turned to leave. His back was hunched and it felt like he had aged a lot in an instant.

Everyone left felt extremely uncomfortable.

...…

Chu Yu did not go far, he had just entered a volcanic area near the Jingpo Lake.

This place was once a nation. Now, it still retained the infrastructure from the ancient times, but most of them were dilapidated.

Today, this place was covered with ancient, skyscraping trees. The entire place was filled with spiritual energy.

What a difference from before.

Chu Yu cut off one of the dog legs and barbequed it.

The fire was the magma fire!

Under Chu Yu’s firebending techniques, turning the fire up and down, the dog leg sizzled and released all of its fats.

A Xiantian Realm lifeform was a good boost to Chu Yu.

By eating this black dog, he was also deepening the feud between him and the Green Lion Lord.

Chu Yu did not care. From the moment that the Green Lion Lord had killed eight of the Chu Clan disciples, this had become a fight to the death.

Chu Yu even suspected if all of these were planned by that Villa Owner Dong?

By aggravating the situation, he could make the conflict between the Chu Clan and the Green Lion Lord worse and save the Flying Dragon Lake Villa in the process?

This was quite possible.

"Anyways, this old man has many hidden motives. He is also skilled in Divination, I need to keep my distance." Chu Yu murmured.

At this point, a figure appeared in Chu Yu’s line of sight, giving him a fright.

Limitless - Chapter 122: Villa Owner Dong

One could not the extraordinariness from the outside. However, upon entering the villa, one could see that it was a huge area and the infrastructure was extremely intricate.

It was filled with greenery and water.

There were ponds and lakes everywhere. Even though it was winter, due to the abundance of spiritual energy, the ponds and lakes didn’t freeze over, and balls of mist hovered just above the water surface.

The place was covered in greenery and pavillions and lakes were scattered throughout.

"This is a good place!" Chu Yu complimented

Villa Owner Dong said, "Of course, we used to receive foreign dignitaries here!"

Villa Owner Dong began to reminisce, "Actually, it has been thirty years. Back then, I was just a fresh employee here."

Then he shook his head and sighed, "Time has flown by in the blink of an eye. I have become old and the world... has completely changed."

Villa Owner Dong welcomed Chu Yu into the depths of the Villa. They entered a small building with a huge conference room.

The two of them sat down and called for tea to be served. Villa Owner Dong went straight to the point, "Mr Chu must be here about the Green Lion Lord?"

Chu Yu nodded, "How much do you know about it?"

Villa Owner Dong sipped the tea and replied, "A lot!"

"I would like the hear about it." Chu Yu replied.

"There have been rumors about the Jingpo Lake area for thousands of years. There are even rumours that dragons roamed the waters. It is said that people capture it on film, but I have never seen one so I can neither confirm nor deny that fact. However, I do know about this Green Lion Lord."

VIlla Owner Dong was quite emotional, "It is a relatively ancient demon. It is at least a thousand years old. Furthermore, it used to be king in the ancient BoHai nation..."

Mm?

Chu Yu’s eyes widened. He thought to himself, I had gone to primary school, you can’t hoodwink me like that.

The BoHai nation existed between 700A.D. and 900A.D.

This coincides with the Tang Dynasty. Back then, the nation’s capital was at a place very close to the Flying Dragon Lake Villa. That location was known as the Shangjing Longquanfu [1]

The BoHai nation then was extremely prosperous, and it was the center of the economy and culture of the nation.

It had gone through 15 generations of kings!

The royal family of BoHai were the MoHe people.

How could a lion possibly be their prince?

Ever since Chu Yu was ‘wasted’ at the age of six, he had been studying hard. As such, even though he was no expert, he was quite well versed in Chinese history.

Villa Owner Dong laughed, "Do you find it a little unbelievable?"

Chu Yu nodded and said, "Villa Owner Dong, I am also a Northener..."

"Hahaha, I know that Mr. Chu is a Northerner! We have the same ancestry!"

Villa Owner Dong was extremely fluent, and he had done his research into BoHai’s history. He recounted the entire history to Chu Yu.

Finally, he asked, "All of these that I have said are recorded in the annals. It shouldn’t be too far from what Mr Chu understands right?"

Chu Yu nodded.

"However, Mr Chu must understand that after the ancient BoHai nation disappeared, there were virtually no valuable items and documents left behind."

Villa Owner Dong looked at Chu Yu and smiled, "That is because BoHai was founded by a cultivator! His descendants were all cultivators. After the kingdom was broken, they had burnt all the documents and items, not wanting others to get their hands on them."

Chu Yu’s mouth twitched.

"Is the founder of BoHai that you speak of Da Zuorong? [2]

Villa Owner Dong nodded, "That’s right, it is him. Strictly speaking, he is not a cultivator, based on today’s classification, he was a martial artist in the advanced Acupoint Charging Realm."

"..." Chu Yu was exasperated, but did not rebut.

He knew that after the Earth had changed, many of the ancient legends had become facts.

As such, some of these historical people being disciples from sects in various dimensions was not completely impossible.

"In fact, you can find hints of these recorded in history."

Villa Owner Dong smiled and said, "For example, there were extremely powerful generals back in the Era of the Three Kingdoms. Some of them could take on a thousand, even ten thousand people! There was Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei... do you really think that these are ordinary people?"

Chu Yu was shocked.

Indeed, the battle power of these people were well recorded in history.

They were definitely extraordinary.

"The Green Lion Lord had been cultivating since then, and was one of the divine beasts of the BoHai nation. Because it was so spiritual and ferocious, it was given the title Green Lion Lord!"

Villa Owner Dong looked at Chu Yu, "That’s why it is correct for me to call it the king of BoHai."

"I would never had thought that Villa Owner Dong would have such extensive knowledge about this period in history!" Chu Yu exclaimed.

Even the recent history had been drowned in the tides of time, reduced to an insignificant wave in an ocean, not to mention history 6000 years ago.

Being so well versed in history and the happenings back then was no easy feat.

The things that Villa Owner Dong said today were stuff that even the historians specializing in BoHai’s history may not know completely.

Then again, they may not believe it.

"That is because, my ancestors were good friends with Da Zuorong."

Villa Owner Dong said with a sigh, "As time went by, there were many pocket dimensions which dried up and crumbled. There were also many stellar ancestors who fell after waiting endlessly. BoHai country is one of them."

Ancestor Da Zuorong was one of the powerful cultivators in the ancient times.

When the world was sealed, he brought along his people and set up a pocket dimension.

However, their population was too small!

Back then, not many people would have realized that they were in it for the long haul.

As such, they didn’t think that a large population was necessary to keep the bloodline going.

Back then, ancestor Da Zuorong had only brought along a few thousand citizens and another few thousand aides and servants into the pocket dimension.

After aeons, they managed to get their population up to about a hundred thousand.

However, most of them were wiped out after an internal war.

About 1000 years ago, the people left in the pocket dimension were no more than 50.

A whole pocket dimension was close to death!

"In fact, many of the ‘gods who came down’ were cultivators forced to leave their pocket dimensions." Villa Owner Dong said, "At least if they came out, they had a chance at survival. If they stayed in the pocket dimension..."

He shook his head and sighed, "In the ancient times, our world was known for being the most prosperous! The population numbers were mind boggling. However, the bloodlines which managed to last till today are no more than a thousandth of the ancient days."

He raised his head and looked at Chu Yu, "That’s why, we are very lucky to be able to see the world unsealed!"

Chu Yu nodded. Kids like him who were born after the world was unsealed were supposed to be the lucky few.

"The Green Lion Lord thinks then its bloodline is pure and that the entire Northern Territories belong to it. However, because of our links to the authorities, as well as my ancestors ties with Da Zuorong, it did not force us too much."

Villa Owner Dong looked at Chu Yu, "However, it killed eight of the Chu Clan disciples, and invited me to watch... this was clearly a threat. Aish, from that moment, I knew that it would be impossible to keep the people safe just by riding on my ancestors links with Da Zuorong.

At this point, Zhao Rui entered and whispered, "Master, the banquet is ready."

Villa Owner Zhuang nodded and looked at Chu Yu, "Since Mr Chu is here, let me be your host. Later, I will tell you more about that area in order for you to prepare yourself."

Chu Yu thought about it before replying, "Ok, many thanks for your hospitality!"

"You are most welcome, please don’t be so formal!" Villa Owner Dong said repeatedly, "It is our honor to be able to interact with a Chu Clan hero."

After which, Chu Yu followed him into the banquet hall.

Once inside, Chu Yu was stunned by the posh decorations.

Even though he came from a big clan, he had never seen such luxury.

It was hard to imagine that such a luxurious place could be found in a location like Dan Jiang city.

The service staff were well groomed and the utensils were set up to perfection. Every minute detail was refined to the highest standards.

It would seem that Villa Owner Dong wasn’t bragging when he said this place was used to host foreign dignitaries.

"Villa Owner Dong is too kind, I am slightly embarrassed." Chu Yu said.

"It is our honor to be able to host a member of the Chu Clan." As Villa Owner Dong spoke, he blushed, "To be honest, using my Divination Technique, I was told that I would only have a future by having a good relationship with the Chu Clan. Especially..."

As he spoke, he was suddenly speechless. His expression changed and he frowned at a black dog with blood dripping from its mouth.

Villa Owner Dong’s eyes flashed with anger, "Black Dog Small Lord, what have you done?"

This black dog had appeared without sound or introduction and it looked coldly at the crowd in the banquet hall, "Your people tried to stop me, so I taught them a lesson and detached them."

"You..." Villa Owner Dong was visibly furious, his hand trembling as he pointed at Black Dog Small Lord, "Your King said..."

"My King said that it will give you time to consider, not to engage the Chu Clan!"

The Black Dog interrupted Villa Owner Dong and looked at Chu Yu, "Chu Clan b*stard, come and meet your maker!"

"Who is the b*stard scolding?"

"The b*stard is scolding you! You... you dare to insult me?" The black dog was furious and it couldn’t resist but shout.

"See, dogs are dogs, revealing themselves at the critical junctures. Furthermore, you’re just a small lord... why are you so arrogant?"

Chu Yu rose and smiled insincerely at Villa Owner Dong and walked to the door.

The black dog, which was at the door, continued to bark, "Wu... Woof... Wu!"

"Stop barking wildly here puppy, scram!" Chu Yu said mockingly.

Villa Owner Dong was slightly worried, "Mr Chu, I did not betray you..."

Chu Yu turned back and glanced at the anxious Villa Owner Dong. Then he smiled and nodded, "I believe you!"

Then, he attacked!

The attack was directed straight at the barking black dog.

A wave of energy morphed into an arrow and fired off at an alarming speed.

Black Dog Small Lord also radiated a terrifying aura and attacked just when Chu Yu’s attack was launched.

It opened its mouth filled with razor sharp teeth!

The razor sharp teeth glowed as the chandeliers in the banquet hall shone light on it.

Puff!

Black Dog Small Lord’s body was penetrated by a sharp wave of force.

Blood began to flow from the open wound.

"Little dog, don’t waste the black dog blood! I need it!" Chu Yu said loudly.

"Woof!"

Black Dog Small Lord was nearly driven to insanity by that statement.

[1] Shangjing Longquanfu or Sanggyeong Yongcheonbu , also known as Shangjing (上京) or Sanggyeong , Huhan/Holhan Fortress or Dongjing (Eastern Capital), was the capital city of BoHai (Balhae)

[2] Dae Joyeong, or King Go, established the Balhae nation.

Limitless - Chapter 121: Flying Dragon Lake Villa

This surprised Chu Yu.

Even though Chu Yu did not specially try to hide his movements, he had used Facebook to take on the appearance of an ordinary middle aged man.

Lord Thief and Old Yellow both walked in the darkness, opting not to show themselves in order not to alert the Green Lion Lord.

Chu Yu did not want anyone to know that he was here.

In the Chu Clan, only the highest leadership knew that he had left. However, his route and appearance were unknown to everyone.

Chu Yu did not even stop at the Dragon City, choosing instead to rush here instantly.

However, the moment he entered the city, someone came knocking on the door.

This made Chu Yu feel that he was being watched.

The person who came was in his thirties. He wore a friendly smile and was respectful.

However, this man’s energy fluctuations were not weak, it was likely that he was above the Acupoint Charging Stages. He was probably an Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artist.

"You sir must be from the Chu Clan? My sincere apologies for disturbing you. My name is Zhao Rui, the leader of my clan would like to see you." Zhao Rui was sincere.

"How do you know I am from the Chu Clan?" Chu Yu frowned, he was merely an ordinary middle aged man who was not radiating any aura.

"Outside of Dan Jiang city, you were sprinting like a bolt of lightning. It is clearly evident that you are a powerful man. Today, anyone this powerful visiting Dan Jiang city is probably from the Chu Clan..." Zhao Rui was full of smiles and he looked at Chu Yu sincerely.

"I am not from the Chu Clan, you have gotten the wrong person, I am just passing by."

Chu Yu frowned and his tone was slightly unfriendly.

He suddenly felt that Dan Jiang city seemed to be hiding something, things were not as simple as it seemed.

"I do not have any bad intentions, and I do not want to antagonize the Chu Clan. However, my master has admired the Chu Clan for very long and wants to understand more..."

"I am sorry, I really am not from the Chu Clan, also, I don’t think I have met your esteemed master?"

Chu Yu frowned, slightly frustrated.

This man was extremely respectful, as such, despite how badly he wanted to, Chu Yu could not bring himself to flare up.

Chu Yu secretly used the Voice Transmission Technique to tell Lord Thief and Old Yellow not to show themselves. He then instructed them to return to the Green Lion Lord.

"Mr Chu, please do not be mistaken, we have no intention of keeping an eye on you. My master has really admired the heroes of the Chu Clan for very long and has longed for an interaction. When you entered the city, you just happened to be spotted by someone. My master was informed and he sent me..."

Zhao Rui smiled and explained, "The key point is that recently, the Chu Clan’s reputation is resonating throughout the entire Northern Territories! Seeing how elegant you are, you must be from the Chu Clan!"

Bullsh*t!

What elegance could an ordinary middle aged man have?

Chu Yu did not believe Zhao Rui’s explanation.

So what if the Chu Clan’s reputation preceded them?

Could it be that any high level martial artist that entered the city was from the Chu Clan? Obviously not!

Furthermore, there was an abundance of powerful cultivators in the Northern Territories.

Even though the Chu Clan was relatively powerful amongst the Underworld Clans, they paled in comparison to the ancient sects, clans, and schools.

Now that the ancient schools were all entering society, the backers of the underworld clans had also come out from their hiding.

This not only applied to the Northern Territories, but the entire China.

The number of powerful cultivators was definitely more than people imagined!

How could it be that he immediately concluded that Chu Yu was from the Chu Clan?

Chu Yu could not believe that not a single high cultivation person had passed by a place like Dan Jiang city.

"Tell me the truth, what makes you believe that I am a member of the Chu Clan." Chu Yu looked at Zhao Rui, quickly losing his patience.

He also began to radiate a wave of aura.

Zhao Rui suddenly felt a difficulty to breathe, almost like a huge mountain was pressing on him.

Zhao Rui’s faced paled and he said in a rather tortured fashion, "Mr Chu, please don’t be angry, I will tell you the truth..."

Chu Yu began to retract his aura, his expression still icy.

"My master is skilled in the technique of divination... two days ago, he predicted that you will enter the city today, as well as the place you will be staying at, I... was sent here to wait for you!"

Zhao Rui looked at Chu Yu, visibly scared, "I really do not have any ill intentions, and I hope Mr Chu doesn’t take offence. My master... also doesn’t have any ill intentions, he just wants to interact with the Chu Clan."

Divination?

This would have been a more ridiculous reason.

But Chu Yu bought it!

In the ancient days, as well as today, even whilst the Earth was still sealed, there were many powerful individuals adept at the techniques of Divination.

This was a superior technique, the real Divination Techniques would leave people in awe.

What Chu Yu did not expect that there would be such an individual in a place like Dan Jiang city.

Luckily, he did not manage to predict who he was.

When he thought about this, Chu Yu felt a chill down his spine.

Even though Facebook was a powerful technique, some people did not need to recognize someone by their appearance.

It would seem that he would have to use Facebook with caution.

This was a timely warning for Chu Yu.

"Who is your master?" Chu Yu asked Zhao Rui.

It would be a little petty to deny his links to the Chu Clan now.

Zhao Rui smiled, "My master is the owner of the Flying Dragon Lake Villa."

"Flying Dragon Lake Villa?" Chu Yu frowned, he had not heard of this place before.

"Yes, it is about 70km from here. We have a car ready for you, as long as you agree, we can set off immediately."

70km?

Chu Yu looked at Zhao Rui and thought to himself, Isn’t the Green Lion Lord’s land in BoHai no more than about 100km from here?

Zhao Rui looked at Chu Yu and sighed lightly, "To be honest, we can also guess the reason why you are here. We initially wanted our villa owner to tell you this himself. However, I did kind of surprise you here, so let me tell you why."

Chu Yu nodded at Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui whispered, "We are deeply saddened and shocked by the death of the eight Chu Clan disciples."

"We are the leaders here in Dan Jiang city. Our villa owner has some ties to the government and thus has quite the reputation here in Dan Jiang. All along, the city here has been quiet, until the Green Lion Lord appeared."

Zhao Rui sighed, then shook his head, laughing bitterly, "Actually, the first clan the Green Lion Lord has taken action against is not the Chu Clan, but the Flying Dragon Lake Villa. We are no more than 20km away, right at our bedside... we are equally frustrated about its appearance."

"The Green Lion Lord sent its lackeys to find our villa owner. It asked us to surrender to it and be its subordinate. It even gave our villa owner a title, Flying Dragon Small Lord."

As Chu Yu looked at the exasperated Zhao Rui, he couldn’t help but feel speechless as well.

Feathered Small Lord, Furry Small Lord, Black Dog Small Lord, Flying Dragon Small Lord...

These names were ridiculous.

Zhao Rui continued, "As our villa owner had links to the government, the Green Lion Lord was relatively measured. Even though it sent Black Dog Small Lord, it did not attack us. It gave us one month to consider, but we didn’t expect him to turn his attention to the Chu Clan so quickly."

"The methods were cruel." Zhao Rui sighed, "When it executed those men, it invited us over, clearing meant as a threat."

Chu Yu listened silently, amongst the eight who died, he knew one of them very well, Chu Fei.

He was slightly older than Chu Yu and was one of his cousins. Chu Fei was a great person.

When Chu Yu was ‘ruined’ back in the day, Chu Fei got into a fight with a group of people for calling Chu Tu trash.

He came back with a swollen face and boasted to Chu Yu that he just took out a group of idiots who had badmouthed Chu Yu...

As Chu Yu reminisced, he reflected on the distance that now separated them.

Chu Yu had been suppressing his emotions ever since he heard the news from the Chu Clan.

Now that he heard someone else mention it, Chu Yu’s heart ached. He took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Rui, "And so?"

"So, all these while, we have been waiting for the arrival of the Chu Clan. My villa owner used his divination skills to find out when such a person would come.

Since they were going to say it all, Zhao Rui decided not to hide anything else and told Chu Yu the full story. They were waiting here specially for a member of the Chu Clan.

"We know that the Chu Clan is silently becoming a huge power. They would never let something like this go so easily." Zhao Rui said.

"Yes, I had to come." Chu Yu calmed down.

This fury will burn slowly in his heart.

"Can we go and see the villa owner now?" Zhao Rui looked at Chu Yu in anticipation.

"Ok."

Two cars sprinted along the highway and they reached the famous Jingpo Lake area.

The scenery here was beautiful, the pristine roads flanked by the unique lava rock formations.

Even though the formation of these magma rocks was tens of thousands of years ago, they still radiated with an ancient aura.

"How good is this place!"

Zhao Rui sighed, "But now it is ruled by a bunch of demons, how comical."

Chu Yu glanced at him, not speaking.

The world had changed long ago, it was no longer an era where man ruled the Earth.

Many different species roamed and owned the same Earth.

However, the ideologies from thousands of years ago still remained.

Many of the people today still believed that they were the rulers of the Earth.

In fact, even in the ancient days, society was an amalgamation of many species.

Those demons who morphed into humans lived alongside us and were treated equally!

Perhaps, that was what the Green Lion Lord was thinking.

However, the method it was employing could not be worse.

After the cars travelled the area for a while, they travelled straight through a huge gate.

Chu Yu raised his eyes, the words Flying Dragon Lake Villa were imprinted in bold!

The people in the villa had known of Chu Yu’s arrival in advance. As such, a large group of them guarded the entrance. It seemed like they had been waiting for a while.

There was an aged man in his fifties waiting there. He was of medium build and wore a white robe, black pants, and a pair of leather shoes.

He did give off the vibes of a governmental middle man.

If not for the fact that Chu Yu forced the truth out of Zhao Rui, it would be difficult to imagine that such an aged governmental official would be so skilled in the Divination Technique.

"This is our villa owner, Mr Dong." Zhao Rui introduced before they got out of the car.

Villa Owner Dong walked towards Chu Yu, a smile on his face, "Hello Mr Chu! I am so sorry for bringing you here with such notice, please do not take offence."

Chu Yu shook his hand customarily, then walked into the Flying Dragon Lake Villa with him.

Limitless - Chapter 120: The Green Lion Lord

After a brief delay, Chu Yu arrived at Chu Tianyu’s residence.

He found Second Elder Chu Tiannan, Third Elder Chu Tianhong, Fourth Elder Chu Tianhuang, Fifth Elder Chu Tianxi, Sixth Elder Chu Tiandong and his own father, Chu Tianbei waiting for him.

There were also a few other seniors gathered in the hall.

All of them were gathered in Chu Tianyu’s living room.

Chu Yu knew that something must have happened, else, the seven leaders of the Chu Clan will never appear here at the same time.

Even when the Three Leaves Sect launched an attack, there wasn’t such a huge turnout.

"Xiao Yu is here." Chu Tianhuang nodded at Chu Yu gently and greeted him.

Chu Yu bowed respectfully to Chu Tianhuang, "Fourth Elder, it has been quite some time."

Chu Tianhuang was slightly emotional, "I was out running errands. I only found out recently that you’ve regained your abilities and are just like before, the talent of the Chu Clan!"

Chu Yu smiled humbly, "Fourth Elder exaggerates."

Chu Tianyu cleared his throat and the entire hall went silent.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let us begin." Chu Tianyu looked at the crowd solemnly.

Then he dived straight into the issue, "A few days ago, a powerful life form by the name of Green Lion Lord appeared in the Northern Territories..."

Chu Yu was stunned, he thought to himself, Isn’t this what Lord Thief and Old Yellow just told me?

"Initially, no one was paying much attention. Since the recovery of the Earth, humans and demons have kept their distance. Most of the conflicts were the work of individuals. However, this time, the Green Lion Lord has set up a city in the ancient land of BoHai and called himself the Lord of the Northern Territories."

Chu Tianyu looked at the crowd, "This initially had nothing to do with us. He is just a powerful demon, not at the level of demon king. Even if the Chu Clan cannot handle it, others should be able to. However, what we did not expect is that the Chu Clan is his first target."

"What?" Chu Yu frowned, a wave of anger flashing across his eyes.

He was furious. Forget the fact that the Chu Clan was the target of the Three Leaves Sect, now, even the demons want a share?

Did they think that the Chu Clan was a pushover? Did everyone want a piece of them?

"Just yesterday, an expedition team that we sent to pick medicine were captured, all eight of them."

Chu Tianyu stopped and looked at the others, "You have just returned, so you may not know this, but the eight of them have been killed."

"What?"

"How did this happen?"

"Even if it wants to be a lord, we have no feud with it, why would it do such a thing?"

Chu Tianhuang, Chu Tianxi, and those who just returned raged immediately.

Chu Tianyu was solemn, his eyes flashing with pain, "Today, it sent back the heads of the eight men..."

"F*ck him!"

Chu Tianhuang was furious. He slammed the table, "How can we tolerate this? Kill it!"

Chu Tianxi also said coldly, "We have no feud with it, yet it is so merciless. Don’t we have poison pills? Kill it."

"We cannot tolerate this." Chu Tiandong said in fury.

At this point, Chu Tianyu placed his gaze squarely on Chu Yu, "What do you think?"

The others stiffened, no one expected Chu Tianyu to place a young one like Chu Yu in such high regard.

It would seem that the rumors on social media about Chu Yu were true. Furthermore, it would seem that there were many things that eluded them.

Chu Yu said, "Just now, I had two friends who came over and told me about this. However, I did not expect that the Green Lion Lord would set its sights on us."

Chu Yu’s eyes glowed with fury, he initially had no intention of antagonizing something like the Green Lion Lord.

However, even without doing anything, it had presented itself.

"Did it have anything to say when it returned the heads of our men?"

Such a threatening action must have been accompanied by a message.

Chu Tianyu said, "It had someone tell us to surrender within three days. We are to leave this place and head for its territory at BoHai. Else, it will make our blood flow like a river. It also said... it’s not afraid of our poison, it has a way to kill us anyways."

"F*ck him!"

Chu Yu said coldly, then added, "A beast acting like a human. What a b*stard, learning the three day deadline..."

Chu Yu was quite astonished, the Three Leaves Sect had also set its eyes on this place.

Now, a Green Lion Lord also wants the Chu Clan to move... could it be that it too has set its sights on this land?

Why?

As he thought about it, Chu Yu looked at all the elders in the room. He stood up and clasped his fist, "I would like to go to BoHai to take a look."

Chu Tianbei shuddered slightly at the thought and he looked at Chu Yu, visibly conflicted.

As a father, he did not want his son to take such a risk.

However, as a member of the clan, this would be the right move for the clan.

As such, he could not possibly refuse Chu Yu’s request.

What he did not expect was that Chu Tianyu shook his head and looked at Chu Yu, frowning. "We can all understand your emotions, but right now, you are the only hope of the Chu Clan... including the Chu Clan pocket dimension! The Chu Clan’s future is in your hands!"

This was the highest compliment. Chu Tianhuang, Chu Tianxi, Chu Tiandong and those who just returned were all shocked.

Their impression of Chu Yu had just risen, but they did not expect that Chu Yu was even more stellar than they imagined!

As members of the clan, they were acutely aware of the righteousness and seriousness of the two leaders.

They would never say something that they were not certain about.

Chu Tiannan said to the side, "We cannot possibly risk your life this way. Let someone else take on the dangerous work. We called you here because we are afraid that the weasel and the sparrow might try to trick you to go over."

This statement was rather straightforward, and it revealed the attitudes of the elders.

They did not believe Old Yellow and Lord Thief.

Chu Yu wanted to speak but Chu Tiannan waved him off, "There is a reason why we do not trust them."

Chu Tianyu nodded and said, "They are demons after all!"

This statement caused the entire crowd to go silent.

They couldn’t say that the leaders were overly suspicious. The divide between humans and demons was not formed within a day.

These were ideas passed down from generation to generation.

Even though there weren’t a lack of life forms who had betrayed the demons, they were an insignificant few in the grand scheme of things.

Even though Lord Thief and Old Yellow were on good terms with Chu Yu, they were still demons.

Chu Tianyu and Chu Tiannan’s worries were not completely unfounded.

However, Chu Yu was still willing to trust them.

As he thought to himself, Chu Yu smiled, "First Elder, Second Elder, seniors, please let me go for a walk. Rest assured, I have the ability to protect myself. If I really cannot, I will escape. Our Chu Clan brothers cannot die for nothing. I would also like to see where this Green Lion King gets his courage from."

After he finished, the entire meeting room went silent.

All eyes fell on the two leaders.

After a long time, Chu Tianyu laughed bitterly, "It is said that the older you get, the more timid you get. The Chu Clan’s position today was not gained by being timid. However, Chu Yu, you are really too important to the Chu Clan..."

Chu Tiannan nodded, "Just with the poison pills, we can be in a position not to be defeated! Not only can it be used defensively, if needed... we can use it to attack. I think, at the critical moment, we can let this Green Lion Lord understand that the King of the North is not an easily gotten position.

It was clear that the two leaders did not want Chu Yu to be in danger.

Just like what Chu Tianyu said, they were not scared of the lion, but they were scared that something untoward may happen to Chu Yu.

However, under Chu Yu’s insistence, he still set off for the Dragon City with Lord Thief and Old Yellow.

On the way there, Lord Thief asked, "Your family is okay with you coming with us?"

Old Yellow replied, "Definitely not, but I am sure that boss knows what he’s doing."

Chu Yu had already morphed into an ordinary middle aged man. His body did not leak any aura, but his every step covered massive distance.

In order to achieve its aims, the Green Lion Lord had chosen to attack the Chu Clan. This necessitated retaliation from the Chu Clan.

Surrender to a beast?

No one would agree to that!

Even if it was a demon lord, the Chu Clan would never agree to it.

They would not even accept playing dead and not reacting to it.

It would be too passive if they just waited for the Green Lion Lord’s sect to attack.

Since the deadline was not reached, it would be wise to go scout it out and find out more about their opponent.

When facing a Supreme Realm cultivator, Chu Yu was not so wildly arrogant to think that he could deal with it himself.

But it was necessary to understand the situation.

Old Yellow said, "Even though humans and demons have our differences, Lord Thief and I are only what we are today thanks to your help. We will harm others, but we will never harm you. This time, the two of us snuck out, the Green Lion Lord is out for a couple of days to check out the Jingpo Lake."

"Mm, even though you can be quite a pain sometimes, I am not a bird who forgets his benefactor!"

However, for some reason, Lord Thief’s tone was capable of changing even the nicest sounding of sentences.

Chu Yu looked at the beasts and smiled. Even if he didn’t say it, the two of them could guess.

Even though they may be jerks, but deep down, they are loyal life forms.

Chu Yu did not believe that they would betray him. Furthermore, he had more than a couple of ways to escape!

As he began to understand more and more about the Crane Saint Pill Scripture, he was able to refine more and more types of pills.

The group of beasts brought Chu Yu southwards towards the BoHai region.

This was the fort of the North, Dan Jiang city.

This was about 10 kilometers from the BoHai ancient city.

To Chu Yu, it was just a blink of an eye away.

When they arrived here, Chu Yu realized that these small cities were also filled with cultivators.

Even though they were virtually all Elementary Acupoint Charging Realm martial artists, they were in abundance.

He could not help but feel that this world had become a cultivation world.

When Chu Yu just arrived at Dan Jiang city and found a hotel to stay in, there was someone looking for him.

Limitless - Chapter 119: Feathered Small Lord and Furry Small Lord

New Years Day, 2057.

Lord Thief and Old Yellow had finally come to the Northern Chu Clan. They received a hearty welcome from the younger generation of the Chu Clan.

Ever since the time Chu Yu had shown his prowess and killed Chai Yue at the Heaven Lake, he had kept a low profile, not revealing himself in public.

However, this did not mitigate the explosion of his reputation in the Chu Clan.

In an instant, he became the top youth in the clan!

In the two times he had unleashed his powers, he had shown a terrifying battle prowess. Any clan would respect such a talent.

Even when the elders saw Chu Yu, they were extremely polite and caring.

When Lord Thief and Old Yellow came over, they immediately could sense Chu Yu’s standing in the Chu Clan.

When Chu Yu came out of isolation to meet the two of them, the two beasts were still boasting.

"That is... I, the bird lord, was quite powerful then too!"

"The key is Xiao Yu... has good character! Yup, he has fantastic character!"

"He was so good that I want to thank his ancestors... ahem, for giving him such great upbringing... mm, these are my heartfelt words, if you don’t believe me, look at my expression? This sincere expression of mine!

A group of Chu Clan youths surrounding them were speechless. They thought to themselves, You’re just a sparrow, what kind of expression do you have?

Sincere your *ss!

In comparison to the rather unruly and childish Lord Thief, Old Yellow seemed much more measures.

It stood up on its hind legs, blinking its green eyes. It even found itself a pair of spectacles.

It looked like it was very learned, and gave of the vibes of a teacher.

"I like learning, mm, learning allows one to improve! Yes, Chu Yu’s knowledge is vast, I will often study and discuss the origins of legends and ancient history with him. What? Chu Yu doesn’t really know about these? That’s true that’s true, I know, but I do know about these and I can teach him, he is very humble."

Afterwhich, the pair of beasts saw Chu Yu.

Lord Thief sat atop Old Yellow’s shoulder, completely stunned as it looked at the long haired youth in front of it.

"Is this dude really Chu Yu?"

Chu Yu rolled his eyes, "Is your skin itchy?"

"

"Go look in the mirror! You’re so filthy I almost couldn’t recognize you."

Lord Thief looked at Chu Yu righteously, then it giggled, "Xiao Yu, do you know what realm I am in now?"

Chu Yu opened his vertical eye and glanced at it. He said flatly, "So what if you are in the Xiantian Realm? Do you believe that I can still trash you?"

At this point, a group of Chu Clan disciples all came up to greet Chu Yu with much respect.

Powerful cultivators would be respected wherever they go, this was the law of the universe.

Chu Yu nodded and sent them on their way. Then he brought Lord Thief and Old Yellow to his backyard.

Even though he mocked Lord Thief’s entry into the Xiantian Realm as no big deal, he was quite shocked. He did know what kind of luck this damned bird had gotten at the Crane Saint’s residence. It’s advancement was extremely rapid.

The snake broth that he had refined could not have sustained it to breakthrough to such a realm.

Old Yellow also astonished Chu Yu.

Old Yellow had also entered the Xiantian Realm and became a cultivator.

From the two of them, he could clearly feel that the Earth’s recovery was gaining traction.

Almost all life forms were cultivating at a rate many times faster than before.

All the life forms were fighting to be the best, fighting to be at the top of the pyramid. No one wanted to be relegated to the sand below the pyramid.

Old Yellow and Lord Thief could really be considered demons now!

Before these, they could only be considered as a being.

All non human life forms with spiritual powers were known as spirits.

Beings had to make the transition to spirits before becoming demons.

Only those who made it to the Xiantian Realm and became cultivators, equipped with the sacred art, could be considered demons.

However, they were just small demons.

There were still, large demons, elder demons, demon lords, demon saints, demon ancestors...

For ordinary life forms, being able to become a demon was an admirable achievement.

"However, in the face of someone as extraordinary as you, my achievement is nothing. You just smashed some Xiantians a few days ago at the Heaven Lake, there’s no way I am going to compete with you!"

Lord Thief looked arrogant, then quickly changed the topic, "Do you know that a huge demon appeared at the Dragon City?"

"Huge Demon?" Chu Yu frowned and looked at Lord Thief.

Lord Thief scratched at Old Yellows shoulder, "Brother Yellow will tell you."

"Ahem..." Old Yellow cleared its throat then said with a serious expression, "It was said that about 10pm on a night 30 years ago..."

Chu Yu looked at Old Yellow in exasperation.

Old Yellow coughed again, then said, "That was before the Earth had recovered. Then, I was still rather weak, but considerably powerful for that era."

Old Yellow sighed, "All of a sudden, one day, there was a voice in my head. It told me that there was a demon king about 2000 miles to the north, and he wanted all the spiritual beings to go pay it a visit."

"It called itself the Green Lion Lord. I believe that it was initially a green lion. Back then, the aura that it radiated was enough to make all the life forms tremble and not get up."

Old Yellow looked at Chu Yu, "It is hard to believe that there were life forms of such cultivation levels then. However, back then, it had only appeared for a moment before leaving. After 30 years, it has reappeared again..."

"And then?" Chu Yu looked at Old Yellow.

"It has once again called upon us, both Lord Thief and I have gone..."

Old Yellow looked on bitterly and said, "Back then, it would have never noticed my presence. However, in recent times, Lord Thief and my advancement have been quite rapid. Now that we are in the Xiantian Realm, the Green Lion Lord wants us to follow it. It even made us officials..."

"..." Chu Yu looked on, visibly exasperated.

"Lord Thief is Feathered Small Lord and Old Yellow is Furry Small Lord..." Lord Thief said, visibly embarrassed.

"HAHAHAHA!" Chu Yu could not help but guffaw.

The more he looked at the two of them, the more he wanted to laugh.

Feathered Small Lord... Furry Small Lord... what peerless names!

"Is your Green Lion Lord uneducated?" Chu Yu was on the verge of tears.

Old Yellow looked depressed and it said impatiently, "No one wants to be its subordinate, but now it is even more terrifying. Lord Thief and I surmise that it is probably in the Supreme Realm..."

"So what?" Chu Yu glanced at them and said, "If there are benefits for you, stay, if not, leave."

"What makes you think it’s so easy? It is extremely ambitious." Old Yellow looked at Chu Yu with seriousness, "Don’t underestimate it just because it is uncultured. It has a lot of intel, and it has already set its sights on you."

"Hmm?" Chu Yu frowned.

"This is also the reason why Old Yellow and I have come to find you."

Lord Thief looked at Chu Yu, "The Green Lion Lord is ambitious. Not only does it want to be the King of animals, its true intent is to be the King of the Northern Territories!"

Chu Yu squinted his eyes and looked at Lord Thief.

Then, Lord Thief added, "It said that the Earth of the past was extremely blessed. Every inch of it was covered with resources. The Northern Territories were the choice land of many powerful cultivators, thus, its resources are endless."

Old Yellow looked at Chu Yu, "As such, it wants to take over the Northern Territories and make it its own backyard."

This ambition was really not small. Where did a Supreme Realm demon get its confidence from to want to take the entire Northern Territories for itself?

Even the heavily injured Three Leaves Sect should have enough power to defeat it many times over, no?

Just the thought of killing demons should have been sufficient to scare the Green Lion Lord away.

Chu Yu brought up this point of view.

Old Yellow shook its head and sighed, "Do you really think it’s that easy? The Green Lion Lord has a superior manual in its hands, and that is a treasured magical formation manual! It has already built itself a city in the ancient land of BoHai, and even set up a magical formation..."

Lord Thief said, "A few days ago, a few disciples of ancient sects who did not know any better wanted to attack the city. They took on the slogan of beating away demons. In the end, seven of them were killed by the magical formation, three of them retreated with serious injuries."

Afterwhich, there were three to four Supreme Realm cultivators who wanted to attack the place.

However, they were trapped deep in the magical formation... and they haven’t come out since.

"So strong?" Chu Yu’s eyes brightened, his thoughts unclear to the rest.

Old Yellow looked at Chu Yu and whispered, "The reason why we came was because of this, can’t you see through fakery?"

Chu Yu nodded.

Old Yellow said, "We know where the treasured manual is hidden..."

"What do you mean?" Chu Yu contemplated the implications.

"Steal away that treasured manual." Lord Thief was excited, "The best way is to lure the few Supreme Realm cultivators in, let them fight it out, and we can use that opportunity to..."

"What if they don’t fight?" Chu Yu glanced at them.

The Feathered Small Lord and Furry Small Lord probably did not get much benefits under the Green Lion King.

As a result, these shameless beasts set their eyes on its treasure.

"About this, we should consider this further..." Chu Yu shook his head. He did not want to make more enemies at this stage, he just wanted to focus on his cultivation.

Especially for cultivators of that realm. He could not match up to them.

Even if he entered the Xiantian Realm, at best, he could match up to cultivators in the King’s Realm, as for the Supreme Realm... they were too scary!

Chu Yu still vividly recalled the slap from Wu Jianghai which killed over a hundred Three Leaves Sect disciples.

At that very moment, Chu Yu’s handphone rang.

Chu Yu glanced at it and realized that the caller was Chu Tianyu. He found it strange, why didn’t he send someone to get me, choosing instead to call?

The moment he picked up, Chu Tianyu’s anxious voice came over the line, "Xiao Yu, come over quickly."

The usually calm and solemn Chu Clan leader rarely communicated this way with others.

Chu Yu frowned and put down the phone. He let Lord Thief and Old Yellow rest at his home whilst he rushed over to Chu Tianyu’s residence.

Limitless - Chapter 118: Silent Goodbye

Countless people watched from a distance, no one wanting to disturb them.

"Shishi, don’t look at me like that, it makes me scared." Chu Yu giggled, not in the least bit sad.

"See, with you like this, how can I be assured to leave?" Lin Shi rolled her eyes.

"Then don’t leave..."

Chu Yu said on impulse, then quickly smiled, "I’m kidding."

"I know." Lin Shi’s tone was gentle as she looked at Chu Yu, "If I had a choice, I wouldn’t want to leave either."

"Mm, I understand, go and find out more about our enemy, just don’t turn..." Chu Yu said, smiling.

"Definitely not!"

Even though Lin Shi knew that Chu Yu was kidding, she was still completely serious, "No matter what, I will never betray my race!"

"I know." Chu Yu glanced at her. He felt uncomfortable, almost as if Shishi was slightly different this time.

They had grown up together. The meanings of each action and gaze was clear as day to the other. Even their parents did not know them as well as they knew each other.

Chu Yu was sure that the person was still the same, and no one was controlling her soul.

"What’s up?"

Lin Shi looked at Chu Yu and smiled, "Why, do you think I’ve changed? Or are you suspecting something?"

This was the thing about knowing each other so well, there was no way to hide.

Chu Yu laughed bitterly, not denying.

He looked at Lin Shi, "I know that you’ve changed a little, for example, you’re alot more stable and cultured. Mm, you do have a more majestic air about you."

Lin Shi rolled her eyes and kicked a small rock. She whispered, "No matter what, I will chance slightly. This is unavoidable. When I enter the Mirror World, I have to conceal myself. Maybe it’s because I’ve been concealed for so long, I can’t change back so easily."

As she spoke, she looked at Chu Yu, "You don’t like it?"

"Nope..."

Chu Yu shook his head.

"Actually, I remember that you used to love the name Shimeng when you were young. You always said you were like poems and dreams. Everytime I called you Shishi, you would correct me and ask me to call you Shimeng."

Chu Yu glanced at Lin Shi, "That’s why I am a little stunned that you would accept the change in your name."

Lin Shi brushed her hair over her ear and looked at Chu Yu, her eyes bright, "About this, there are many insider details that are difficult to tell you over the phone. Actually, my master has already accepted me as her stepdaughter..."

Chu Yu frowned, but did not speak.

Lin Shi said, "My master is also one who stumbled into the Mirror World from a parallel universe. She is different from the others in the Mirror World, she is not biased against the Solar System.

Chu Yu nodded.

"Time in the Mirror World is different from us. Even though I’ve only been in isolation for a few months, three years have passed in the Mirror World!"

Lin Shi looked at Chu Yu, "Else, how could I possibly attain the King’s Realm in such a short time? How else could I change so much? So much so that you can see right through it..."

"There is such a thing?"

Chu Yu was impressed, how did it feel to be travelling between two worlds with different frames of time?

"When I first entered the Mirror World, life was tough." Lin Shi said rather flatly.

However, Chu Yu could feel that more than half of those experiences for her were bad.

For such a low level martial artist, maneuvering the area would have been tough.

Chu Yu’s heart ached, but he was helpless.

"Then I met my master, she... she didn’t despise me for being a low level martial artist. Instead, she comforted me and assured me that everyone able to enter the Mirror Dimension was extremely lucky."

Lin Shi whispered, "She told me, which saint didn’t start off as a small martial artist? She treats me extremely well. She even prepared a large amount of resources for my visit back here, even for Mirror World standards."

She raised her head to look at Chu Yu, "Even though I had begged her for it, she may not be so nice to someone else even if they begged,"

When Lin Shi said this, her tone was light and she looked very natural.

However, Chu Yu could feel that she still had something that she wasn’t saying, but he didn’t ask further.

"Sometimes, I am also conflicted and scared."

Lin Shi sighed, "I am afraid that one day, when the talents of the Mirror World cross over and attack our world, I can’t betray my race, but I also can’t... betray my master."

Chu Yu was silent and did not reply.

He really wanted to ask, "Is it really necessary for you to go back?"

But he did not say this out loud.

"Chu Yu, why do you think... that people can’t coexist in peace?"

Lin Shi looked at Chu Yu and asked a really naive question.

Lin Shi may not have realized this, but the Lin Shi of before would never have asked such a question.

It was clear that three years in the Mirror World had a big impact on her.

Even though this question was naive, Chu Yu still answered it seriously.

He knew that she wasn’t really looking for an answer, she just wanted to know what someone else thought.

"You’re hungry, on the verge of death, and there is a biscuit there that can keep you alive. However, you must eat the entire biscuit to survive."

Chu Yu looked at Lin Shi, "Tell me, if someone else appeared at that moment, would you share the biscuit with him?"

"It would depend who it was." Lin Shi looked at him with glowing eyes, "If it were you, I would leave the entire biscuit for you."

"No, not me. Let’s say, a stranger? Or rather... someone who is going to fight you for it, what would you do?" Chu Yu asked.

"Anyone who tries to rob me of my biscuit will have to go through me first. In the face of death, I don’t have much choice."

Lin Shi sighed and smiled bitterly, "I understand the concept, but I really don’t like it to be this way."

"Many things in life are this way."

Chu Yu looked at her, "However, remember that I will always be at your side."

"Mm, no matter what, I will never harm you!"

Lin Shi added, "I will also be beside you!"

Chu Yu nodded, not speaking again.

The water in the Heaven Lake was crystal clear and it radiated an icy aura. The surface was calm, almost like a mirror, reflecting their silhouettes on the water.

The two of them sauntered along the river bank for quite some distance.

They said their goodbyes.

As Chu Yu watched Lin Shi’s silhouette disappear into the distance, he felt an emptiness and pain in his heart.

He could feel that Lin Shi had a lot of things to tell him during her return.

He could also see her deep longing for him in her eyes.

This meant that her feelings for Chu Yu had never changed. In fact, the three years in the Mirror World had added many restrictions that she did not want.

Things that restricted her freedom!

Was it just because she had a master?

Chu Yu did not know, and did not ask.

If she wanted to say, she would.

The night that Lin Shi and Chu Yu parted, Lin Shi returned to the Mirror World.

The Han Xiao leadership, who wanted to pay her a visit, came up empty. They all left disappointed.

However, they did bring with them a letter that Lin Shi wrote. This was addressed to the Han Xiao Leader. It told him that she had came across an opportunity to cultivate and needed to isolate herself for a long period of time. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

In the letter, she promised the Han Xiao leader that she would never betray Han Xiao.

For the Lin Family, she left some resources and manuals.

They were her family, and she cared for many of them.

Lin Shi left the most amount of resources for Chu Yu. There were magical equipment, medicines, weapons, amongst others.

Even though they weren’t of extremely high level, they were the most superior of the Supreme Realm items.

There were also quite a number of pills, and they were all clearly sorted and marked.

Apart from this, there were a few hundred spiritual rocks.

This was an extremely rare item in today’s world.

In the ancient days, there were many spiritual rock mines. However, with the sealing of the world, these mines have been hidden.

When they were found occasionally, the strongest sects would control them.

For someone like Chu Yu, this was a rare sight.

These spiritual rocks ranged from the size of a fingernail to the size of a cow’s eyeball, their shape irregular.

According to Lin Shi, each spiritual rock contained a large amount of pure and superior spiritual energy.

Even the smallest fingernail sized spiritual rock could last a Xiantian cultivator more than 10 days.

Chu Yu tried to absorb the energy from one of the fingernail sized spiritual rocks. The spiritual energy contained within it was indeed pure and powerful.

However, it only took him a day to absorb all the energy in this spiritual rock.

He was slightly troubled, wasn’t it supposed to last a Xiantian cultivator more than 10 days?

Could it be that once the rock was in his hands, they did not become as effective?

If Lin Shi knew that the rate that Chu Yu was absorbing energy was this terrifying, she would be shocked.

She had heard her master mention that the most talented in the Mirror World advanced at an astonishing rate. The rate at which they absorb energy from spiritual rocks was also vastly different.

Whilst others take more than 10 days to absorb all the energy in a spiritual rock, they only use about a day and a half.

Lin Shi knew that Chu Yu was relatively talented, but after seeing the youthful talents of the Mirror World, she had thought that Chu Yu paled in comparison.

Never did she expect that Chu Yu’s talent was so terrifying that it was on par with the Mirror World’s top talents.

Lin Shi’s departure was quite a big blow to Chu Yu.

His heart ached constantly.

In the short span of time they spent together, Lin Shi had seemed too insincere.

Chu Yu had the feeling that the next time they met, it would be unclear if they were friends or enemies.

This wasn’t that he was jealous, instead, this was the result of over 20 years of experience interacting with her.

"Is this some form of lovelorn?"

Chu Yu smiled bitterly.

The two of them didn’t bring this up and acted normally, but it was almost as if that confession... had never happened.

Damn it!

Wasn’t this lovelorn?

How big a deal was it?

After all, this is lovelorn, at most it’s a long distance relationship.

But... the distance between two universes is really rather large.

Cultivate!

Cultivate!

Cultivate!

In the days following, Chu Yu put all his attention into cultivating.

Everyday, he only did two things, cultivate and learn the Crane Saint Pill Scripture!

Limitless - Chapter 117: Vigorous!

Everyone was wide eyed, their expressions confused.

Where was Chai Yue?

How did he disappear?

Why was Chu Yu still standing there?

At this point, they heard someone moaning in the mountains.

This was not science!

All those watching the stream could see it clearly. Chai Yue had rushed to Chu Yu and aimed a slap at Chu Yu’s face.

However, somehow, Chu Yu managed to retaliate and send him flying!

His body was like a broken kite and plummeted to the ground.

Chai Yue’s body landed on the other side of the Heaven Lake with a bang and smashed a huge rock.

It tumbled all the way to the edge of the water before a few slightly larger rocks blocked his body.

Those watching the broadcast murmured to themselves, imagining the pain Chai Yue must be feeling.

This was too creepy!

Chai Yue landed there, unmoving.

Lin Shi glanced at Chu Yu, her eyes filled with awe, flashing with moments of joy.

After knowing that Chu Yu was Song Hong, she knew that her childhood friend had not only recovered, but had also been progressing all these years!

His powers could awe everybody and be revered by the masses!

Chu Yu walked towards the bottom.

His gait was steady, covering vast distances with each stride.

He quickly reached the side of Chai Yue and looked down at him.

Chai Yue had been slapped on the face by Chu Yu. All of his facial bones had been shattered and half of his face was caved in, unbelievably disgusting.

He lay there moaning softly.

"It is no wonder you’re a Xiantian cultivator. Your body is strong enough not to die from that fall."

Chu Yu was serious, and it almost seemed like he was praising Chai Yue.

Those watching the broadcast were suddenly enlightened!

"I now understand why Chu Yu didn’t stop Goddess Lin from coming to fight. Chu Yu is actually this strong?"

"Didn’t they say that he was ruined for many years and he recently recovered?"

"I think, this is the work of Song Hong. The last time when the Three Leaves Sect attacked the Chu Clan, Chu Yu had also revealed his battle prowess."

"Exactly, even though we only sawa glimpse of his ability, it is enough to awe us. This is probably the work of Hero Song. What a pity that Hero Song died at such a young age, oh boy do I miss him."

"How can Chu Yu be this powerful? Isn’t Chai Yue... in the Xiantian realm? Could it be that a Xiantian cultivator cannot even defeat a martial artist like Chu Yu?"

After the crowd recovered. They found it difficult to believe and accept the news that had just hit them - Chu Yu was that powerful.

"I want to kill you..." Chai Yue could not even think straight as a result of his injuries.

He opened his remaining eye and looked at Chu Yu with hatred.

It was too painful!

He was supremely confident that Chu Yu was merely a piece of scum that he could kill with a single blow.

He did not think that Lin Shimeng would be vastly different from the others on the Heaven’s Pride Board. He even thought that she was worse than the best on that list.

But the truth had hit him hard on the head!

This attack from Chu Yu was vicious.

Lin Shimeng didn’t even get to move before Chai Yue had half his life beaten out of him by Chu Yu, a person who he didn’t even consider a worthy opponent!

The disbelief and hatred towards Chu Yu built up in his heart, gnawing away at him.

It caused him to feel so much pain he didn’t want to live!

This feeling was horrendous.

However, slowly, a wave of icyness rose in his heart. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

He had realized that Chu Yu looked at him like he was looking at a dead man!

"Do you know why I didn’t hit you into the Heaven Lake?" Chu Yu asked Chai Yue mockingly. He replied flatly, "Too dirty! You will pollute the clean water of the Heaven Lake."

"You..." Chai Yue spat out a mouthful of blood in anger and he felt weak.

"You can kill a cultivator but you cannot humiliate one..." Chai Yue used a foreign accent as he glared at Chu Yu with one eye.

"Even you... can be considered a cultivator?" Chu Yu looked at him, raised his leg and stamped down on Chai Yue’s thigh.

Kacha!

Chai Yue screamed in pain.

His body shivered manically, his leg completely bent out of shape.

Chai Yue began howling manically.

Hiss!

Chu Yu took a deep breath, then stamped on Chai Yue’s body with both feet, bellowing, "Why is your leg so tough? How frustrating!"

Chai Yue wanted to die, tears flowing down his face!

If it’s too tough then don’t stamp on it!

At this point, the other six people couldn’t take it any longer. They stood out, bellowed, and launched attacks at Chu Yu.

Any one of them were easily in the Xiantian Realm!

After 30 years of silence, these talents of the ancient sects had finally bared their fangs.

"Your opponent is me!"

On the banks of the Heaven Lake, Lin Shi went forward to meet her six enemies like a goddess coming down to Earth!

She began an intense battle with the six men!

A unbelievably majestic wave of power exploded from Lin Shi’s body in an instant.

It was like an invisible ray of light!

Kaboom!

A heaven shaking echo resonated!

Many people covered their ears, looking on in aghast as they saw the six figures fly back the way they came from.

Some of them began to spit out mouthfuls of blood in mid air.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang!

All six of them fell from the sky.

They spat out mouthfuls of blood and struggled to get up.

One hit!

All six of the Xiantian cultivators suffered serious injuries.

Tens of thousands of people on the Baekdu mountains went silent!

Those watching the live broadcast played back the video in slow motion and were all stunned!

When did Goddess Lin... become so scary?

Is she really still our Goddess Lin?

They were astonished by her abilities, and suddenly felt that they did not recognize her anymore...

Wasn’t she in the Acupoint Charging Realm just a few months ago?

Could it be that this world really has pills that allow one to advance at unbelievable rates?

Even Lin Shi’s sect mates, the Han Xiao disciples, were shocked at what they were seeing.

"When did she become so strong?" Wang Nan stared at her, completely stunned.

Those were a bunch of Xiantians!

Not six Acupoint Charging martial artists!

Sun Wei shook his head and murmured, "Could it be that... she really came across unbelievable luck at the Ruins of the Pile of Three Stars?"

"Now that I think about it, that is the only plausible explanation." Wang Nan sighed.

Sun Wei surveyed his surroundings and used the Voice Transmission Technique carefully, "After this time, I fear that the sect will reconsider her marriage with Qi Heng."

"What is there to consider?"

Wang Nan laughed coldly, "Relax, the sect will never give up a cultivator who can kill a Xiantian... no, a talented female cultivator who can kill multiple Xiantians to someone as ruined as Qi Heng.

Sun Wei frowned, then nodded, "That’s true."

"Furthermore..." Wang Nan smiled, "The sect will definitely give Lin Shi a position at the first possible opportunity, I’m guessing... at least an elder."

Sun Wei smiled bitterly, "Then when we meet, we’ll have to call her Elder Lin."

Wang Nan glanced at him, "The luckiest thing that can happen to us will be if Elder Lin doesn’t bear a grudge.

Sun Wei fell silent when he thought about the incidents at the Ruins of the Pile of Three Stars.

He finally understood the unpredictability of life. Who would have thought that Junior Lin would achieve so much?

When the six men leapt into the air, Chai Yue’s eyes glowed in anticipation and he looked at Chu Yu in anger. He growled, "You two b*stards are dead meat..."

Before he could finish, those six men were sent flying by Lin Shi.

From their angle, the six men disappeared from their sights in the blink of an eye.

Chu Yu smiled and looked at Chai Yue, "Let me send yo on your way!"

"No..." Before Chai Yue could finish, Chu Yu stamped on his chest.

This stamp was too terrifying, and it made a huge cavity in Chai Yue’s chest.

Chai Yue spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes glared at Chu Yu. Up till the moment of death, he could not believe that a youthful talent like him would die at the hands of a martial artist.

What a wronged death!

He could not rest in peace!

The entire broadcast channel exploded in chatter!

"Damn! From now on, I am Chu Yu’s loyal fan. Whoever dares to slander him will taste my wrath!"

"That was so ferocious! He did not show any mercy! Good kill! Many of the martial artists on the Heaven’s Pride Board were killed by him."

"Evil doers will get their retribution!"

"Isn’t Chu Yu afraid of their revenge? What if they go after his family..."

"But, aren’t they afraid that Chu Yu will take revenge too? Chu Yu isn’t the only one with family."

"Exactly, Chu Yu is the one responsible, if they want to, they should just find trouble with him! But i believe in Chu Yu, he will slaughter them!"

"A true warrior, unafraid of any challenge!"

"How brave!"

The entire broadcast channel exploded with compliments about Chu Yu and Lin Shimeng.

The so called Seven Heroes had been completely smashed in the blink of an eye!

One dead and six seriously injured!

However, this was merely their just desserts for what they did in China.

Lin Shi used the Voice Transmission Technique to tell Chu Yu, "You shouldn’t have killed him. If anyone should kill him, it should have been me!"

Chu Yu stood at the bottom of the hill and looked at Lin Shimeng at the peak. He shook his head.

How could he let his girlfriend take on such a huge responsibility?

He wasn’t even willing to see Lin Shi leave after this!

Lin Shi understood Chu Yu’s intention. After she finished speaking, she shook her head in exasperation.

She knew that Chu Yu was protecting her on one hand, and training himself on the other!

If one did not dare to face stronger opponents, challenge others and fight, then one is useless, even if one cultivated to extremely high realms.

There would be no future!

No one had expected the battle to end so quickly.

Some of the people on the mountain did not even manage to catch a glimpse of the action before the battle ended.

They sighed to themselves, If I knew it was going to be like this, I would have stayed home to watch the broadcast...

Even though the battle had ended, the crowd was unwilling to disperse.

Together with the previous broadcast, these two live streams had given countless people a deeper understanding into the cultivation world.

They now understood the cruelties of this world.

Many of those who were determined to cultivate before now silently started to give up.

The world now was vastly different from before.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be a problem to live to a hundred years old. Why bother putting oneself through such a tedious and dangerous process?

Lin Shi and Chu Yu strolled along the banks of the Heaven Lake.
