Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Yu had just left the police station when he received a phone call. The caller was the driver who drove him to the Southern Seas Hotel.
At this moment, Lu Yu’s body trembled violently. A touch of hostility swept across his eyes as he said angrily, “What did you say?
“Lord Lu, I regret to inform you of this news. Your wife Giovanna met with a car accident and was hospitalized with serious injuries. Her life is hanging by a thread. According to our investigation, the traffic accident involving your wife seems to have been staged.”
The driver reported this with trepidation. He could already imagine Lu Yu filling up with soaring rage on the other end of the phone.
Lu Yu said in an icy tone, enunciating every word clearly, “Where is my wife now?”
The driver replied, “In Ward 5907 of the Capital City Third People’s Hospital. Lord Lu, if you need any help, you can always contact…”
Beep! Before the driver finished speaking, the phone was hung up. The driver sat in the car and put down the phone in his hand. He looked at his colleague beside him, and the two stared at each other in silence.
He had done his investigation on Lu Yu. This was a guy who had the guts to wreak havoc all the way to the sky. The driver needed to rush there at once to prevent the worst from happening.
At the Third People’s Hospital,
Lu Yu suppressed the rage in his heart and dashed straight to Ward 5907 in a mad rush. Outside the ward, Lu Yu was feeling myriad conflicting emotions. There were so many things he wanted to say that had been buried in his heart.
For the safety of his wife and children, he moved them to the capital at the first opportunity. Yet, an accident still happened in the capital against all expectations. Right now, his heart was filled with guilt.
However, when he opened the door to the ward, the hospital bed was empty. Lu Yu froze for a moment. Then, that suppressed anger finally erupted, filling his eyes with a maliciousness that resembled a wild beast about to devour people, making people’s skin crawl.
“I am the family member of a patient in this ward. May I ask where the patient has gone?” Lu Yu asked a young nurse who was passing by.
“Huh? Another family member?” The young nurse spoke. “The patient in this bed was picked up by her family. Did they not inform you?
They?
These words made Lu Yu’s heart sink. The ones who transferred Giovanna away were a group of thugs.
Lu Yu’s ominous face burst with anger and he berated ferociously, “How do you guys do your job in this hospital? Don’t you know that my wife just met with a car accident and was seriously injured? She has not recovered yet, so how can you let other people pick her up?”
The young nurse was so frightened by Lu Yu’s expression that she began trembling. She stammered, “But… those people are cultivators. We dared not stop them…”
Buzz! Lu Yu’s mind was jolted rudely, and the blood went straight to his brain. Giovanna was taken away by a group of cultivators. At this moment, he could not wait to grab every single one of these guys out and slaughter them immediately.
“You’d better pray that my wife is okay, or else even if the King of Heaven tries to save you, all of you will still die without a burial place!”
Lu Yu found a note at the bed head. It had an address written on it: Number 12 Top Scholar Street!
That place was hundreds of kilometers away from the hospital! Looking at the congested streets of the capital outside, Lu Yu leaped into the air straightaway. He immediately circulated his true energy and transformed into a bolt of lightning, heading straight in one direction.
“Oh no!” At the entrance of the hospital, the driver raised his head to look at the sky. He immediately dialed Lu Yu’s number. “Lord Lu, it is prohibited for cultivators to soar through the sky in the capital. They will be killed directly by the array formation’s bombardment if they tried.”
“Also, please don’t be impulsive and cause…”
“The person who has been kidnapped is my wife!” Lu Yu roared out at the other end of the phone. Following that, he soared at lower altitudes.
In order to avoid detection by others thereby causing unnecessary trouble, Lu Yu fired up the Purple Eye and Illusionary Realm Kingdom to conceal his figure.
With a flash of purple light in his eyes, an illusionary realm instantly spread out, moving quickly while concealing his figure.
In the process, many people affected by the passing illusionary realm suffered a moment of hallucination, which happened in a flash.
“Huh? Old Wang, I think I saw a huge bird flying across the sky just now.”
“Impossible, absolutely impossible! I clearly saw a battleship that crossed the sky.”
Two old drivers who experienced the hallucinations began debating. The debate degenerated into a fierce argument, and they raised a big ruckus.
The driver experienced for the first time Lu Yu’s Illusionary Realm Kingdom. He was caught by surprise when he realized how extensive an area the Illusionary Realm Kingdom covered the instant it was activated.
“Commander Yao, someone has kidnapped Lu Yu’s wife. There is a possibility that something unpredictable will happen.”
The phone call reached Yao Xianming’s ears through an encrypted communication channel. Yao Xianming’s face sank immediately. “Go. Follow him closely. Stop the situation from deteriorating at the first available opportunity.”
After ending the phone call, Yao Xianming sat on the chair, his eyes gazing at the sky. His pale, worried face carried a tinge of anger. “Hoho… it seems that I have underestimated you guys. To think that you guys are capable of such things.”
Boom!
The Illusionary Realm Kingdom descended and enveloped Number 12 Top
Scholar Street rapidly. Although the area covered was not as vast as the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon’s illusionary realm, it was still enough to extend its coverage over a 10-kilometer radius.
At this moment, the scenery in this area was absorbed into Lu Yu’s perception. He could even see an ant’s leg clearly.
After spending a few moments surveying, he located Giovanna, lying ashen white on a couch in a remote alley dwelling of a small neighborhood.
Five or six cultivators walked in successively. In descending order, their cultivation levels were Grand Master Grade 9, Grand Master Grade 6, Grand Master Grade 3, and two guys at Great Martial Master Grade 9.
“Brother Tai, this woman that we kidnapped back here looks so beautiful. What’s the point if we can only look at her but are not allowed to play around with her?”
“You guys, don’t let your lust overwhelm your brain. This is the wife of a Great Grand Master. Although we are hired by others, we should still leave ourselves a route of retreat.”
The cultivator called Brother Tai was the one at Grand Master Grade 9. He slapped his palm on his minion’s head and berated fiercely, “In a while, the employer will come and we will get a lot of money. Surely there’s no shortage of women then?”
“Yes, yes. Brother Tai is right.” A few minions hurriedly echoed similar sentiments.
When Lu Yu, who was about to launch a killing spree, heard that the mastermind behind this had not appeared yet, he continued observing them in secret in order not to arouse their suspicions.
After waiting for more than an hour, a woman with a pockmarked face and permed hair, wearing a large yellow trench coat, showed up outside the alleyway of the small neighborhood. She scrutinized her left and right before walking over cautiously.
Great Grand Master Grade 6! Lu Yu sensed the fluctuation of true energy on the pockmarked woman’s body. The Illusionary Realm Kingdom operated silently, and an illusionary realm wrapped over the pockmarked woman’s body.
The hallucinogenic ability erupted, and the pockmarked woman’s eyes glazed over. Her body swayed, and just as she was about to faint, she suddenly came to her senses and bellowed, “Who’s there?”
This was the first time Lu Yu deployed the Illusionary Realm Kingdom to cast hallucinations on a Great Grand Master and it failed. Lu Yu’s thoughts spun and the domain around the pockmarked woman swiftly became isolated from her, forming an independent domain..
