Invincibility starts when I see the BOSS health bar.

Chapter 909: Qian Wu
Fang Yu has completely confirmed this trip to the clan.

Senior Sister Lulu deliberately chose this hellish mission for him that was far beyond his current strength limit and a life-threatening one!
This is clearly... a rhythm that is intended to force him to death!

There was a cold glimmer in the depths of Fang Yu's eyes.

In his eyes, Senior Sister Lulu's strength is not enough to control him at will! How dare you plot against me like this...

Elder Yan Jin seemed to see what Fang Yu was thinking at a glance and couldn't help but remind him.

"Don't even think about touching Lulu. That woman is now the chief's spokesperson. If you touch Lulu, you'll be the enemy of the entire Jue Clan. Even I have to 'avenge' her."

"But it's not completely impossible. It just requires some timing and some support from public opinion. When the other elders arrive and the time is right, I will notify you and then you can take action to deal with her!"

Elder Yan Jin could clearly say this because the terrifying strength Fang Yu displayed in the clan was far beyond his expectations, forcing him to re-evaluate Fang Yu's value.

It is also because of the experience of fighting side by side and repelling the enemy together that the relationship between the two is no longer a simple superior-subordinate or exploitative relationship, but an additional layer of subtle friendship similar to that of comrades-in-arms.

Thinking about this, Fang Yu returned to the dyeing workshop.

He forced down the murderous intent in his heart, quickly put on a harmless smile on his face, and pushed open the door of Senior Sister Lulu's room.

"Master Diao? You...you're back?"

Inside the room, Senior Sister Lulu, who was facing the clan residence with a thoughtful look, turned around abruptly upon hearing the voice, with just the right amount of surprise and concern instantly appearing on her face.

She walked over quickly, her tone full of surprise: "I heard that there was a lot of commotion over there in the Zong family, and the battle was extremely fierce. I was worried about your safety! I didn't expect... that Master Diao could complete the mission and... escape unscathed?"

She seemed to be caring about Fang Yu enthusiastically, but Fang Yu keenly noticed that Senior Sister Lulu's seemingly concerned eyes were actually like the most sophisticated scanner, silently and carefully scanning his body.

His eyes swept across his face, neck, arms, chest, waist, abdomen, legs... as if he was eagerly searching for something.

Was it severe burn marks? Missing limbs? Or weakness caused by internal injuries?

However, the result disappointed her.

Injuries? Of course there are.

Burned skin, and even parts of flesh and blood tissue scorched by high temperatures... Fang Yu had experienced all of this in previous fierce battles.

But with the terrifyingly high-speed regeneration ability brought by demonization, those injuries that were enough to kill or cripple ordinary warriors have long since recovered!

Except that his health had not yet been fully restored, from the outside, Fang Yu looked calm and energetic. Although his clothes were a little torn and stained with dust and blood, he was in a state close to his peak!
It was as if I had just gone out for an outing instead of experiencing a tragic life-and-death battle!

This incredible state was obviously completely beyond Senior Sister Lulu's understanding.

When she looked up at Fang Yu again, her beautiful eyes could no longer conceal her amazement and shock at Fang Yu's strength!

Fang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a deliberately relaxed tone: "Of course it took some effort. Those monks working together are indeed a bit tricky, but... I can still handle this small situation."

Fang Yu chose to pretend.

He knew very well that he could not confront a six-spirit level being head-on at the moment, otherwise he would not have asked Elder Yan Jin for help.

The monks from the clan can unleash the power of six spirits when they join forces. If it weren't for Elder Yan Jin, he would be in great danger if he forced his way in alone.

Now that he has come back safe and sound, he naturally has to pretend in front of his "senior sister" and not show any weakness.

As for the actual situation? Fang Yu believed that with Lulu's intelligence ability, she probably knew it well.

At this moment, both parties are just acting tacitly.

"Senior Sister Lulu, where are the things?" Fang Yu stopped talking nonsense and got straight to the point.

"It's all prepared. We're just waiting for Master Diao's triumphant return." Senior Sister Lulu kept smiling as she turned around and walked quickly to the table, picking up a rosewood box about one foot square that had been prepared long ago.

What’s in the box is the special material that is extremely rare and precious even inside the secret room - [Tianhe Silk Lotus Root]!

This lotus root has a unique texture, strong plasticity, and amazing ductility. It is the core material for making top-level puppets and shaping precision clay sculptures. It is also the best of the best when used for alchemy and medicine making. It is enough to drive countless alchemists crazy!
Once this item enters the auction house, it will inevitably cause a huge uproar and stir up bloodshed.

In addition to its scarcity, it is also a rare resource at the strategic reserve level within Juemen.

Senior Sister Lulu had dared to make such a bold promise before, promising to use this item as a reward for the mission, one reason being that she was certain that there was no way Fang Yu would be able to return from the clan alive, so the so-called promise naturally became a blank check.

The second reason is that this item does not have much practical application value in the unique sect that specializes in spiritual mysticism and strange curses. It is a "precious but useless" reserve item that is just sitting there.

However, she was thoughtful and ordered people to prepare this thing in advance.

If you want to put on a show, you have to do it in full. You can have useless things, but you must have them in reserve.

Isn’t it being used?
"Thank you, Senior Sister Lulu!" Fang Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the box.

Ding Hui once highly praised this item, saying that among the many materials for reshaping the body, the importance of [Tianhe Silk Lotus Root] is the core hub, just like the blood vessels that build the life network, it is the key to connecting and supporting the entire new body! Its value is almost equal to the sum of the values ​​of other materials!

With some urgency, Fang Yu took the wooden box and gently opened it——

However, when the lid of the box was opened and the contents inside were clearly seen, the joy on Fang Yu's face froze instantly, and was replaced by disappointment and coldness that was difficult to conceal.

The thing in the box is indeed [Tianhe Silk Lotus Root].

The unique texture, which is as warm as the finest white jade and has a hint of blood-colored veins, exudes a faint and strange fragrance.

only……

That portion... is really too little!
It was only a small piece of the thickness of a baby's arm and the length of a palm! It was more than ten times the amount that Ding Hui had expected?! This was simply... a drop in the bucket!
"That's all?"

Fang Yu looked at the short piece of [Tianhe Silk Lotus Root] in the box, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but ask, with a hint of disappointment in his tone that was hard to conceal.

When Senior Sister Lulu heard this, a look of helplessness and apology immediately appeared on her face. She sighed and said:

"Master Diao, it's not that I'm reluctant to part with it. It's just that this item is too rare and precious. Even if I use up all my treasures, this is all I can give out."

As she spoke, her pair of seemingly clear eyes were like the most precise probes, silently observing every slight change on Fang Yu's face, trying to determine how urgent his need for this [Tianhe Silk Lotus] was.

After a brief pause, she changed the subject, her tone becoming somewhat soothing and seductive.

"However...if Master Diao really needs this item, I can try to get you one or two more. Maybe there is still a small amount in stock. But..."

She deliberately prolonged her tone and looked embarrassed.

"If we want to persuade those high and mighty elders to take out the remaining stocks, I'm afraid... Master Diao will need to make some more outstanding achievements."

Fang Yu couldn't help but curl his lips inwardly, a chill swept through him. For such a small amount of [Tianhe Silk Lotus] in front of him, he broke into the Zong family and almost walked through the gates of hell!
If it weren’t for Elder Yan Jin’s support, the consequences would be disastrous!

Now, Senior Sister Lulu actually wants him to fight to the death?

One can tell with a simple guess how terrifying the "achievement" she will arrange next and the hunting target she will face will be!
Fang Yu could even clearly recall the terrifying oppressive feeling of Zong Shaoshi's iron body, as well as the pseudo-six-spirits level combat power unleashed by those monks working together!

That is definitely not a force he can contend with alone!

Being able to come back alive this time was largely due to luck!
"In that case, I'll trouble Senior Sister Lulu."

Fang Yu suppressed the sneer in his heart, remained calm, and even agreed to the matter with a hint of gratitude.

As for what to do next? He had another plan in mind.

"Now that the matter is settled, I will take my leave first."

Fang Yu said no more, picked up the rosewood box containing the pitiful amount of [Tianhe Silk Lotus Root], turned around and left.

The door closed gently behind Fang Yu.

The gentle spring-like smile on Senior Sister Lulu's face faded away as quickly as the tide, and deep in her eyes, there was only cold calculation and a barely perceptible...irritation.

She couldn't figure it out no matter what!
With the configuration of the clan, the powerful cast iron furnace monster, and the monks who were good at joint attacks... How did Fang Yu come back alive? This was completely beyond her expectations!

"It's troublesome..."

Senior Sister Lulu muttered to herself, her fingertips tapping the table unconsciously.

Fang Yu's survival completely disrupted the chess game she had carefully arranged.

Tomorrow, Elder Huxin will arrive in the capital.

Her original plan was to use the "heroic sacrifice" of Fang Yu, an "outsider", in the clan's mission as a greeting gift to Elder Hu Xin, and at the same time to hand over the banner of the "Masked Man" that had made a great reputation in the capital to Elder Hu Xin.

After all, Elder Yan Jin, that stubborn old man, was totally out of her control.

And all of Fang Yu’s “merits” in stirring up trouble in the capital during this period were attributed to Lulu!

This is the most convincing achievement for those neutrals within Jue Men who are still waiting and watching, as well as the elders who are wavering in their stance!
If we get rid of Fang Yu, an outsider who knows the inside story and has considerable strength, everything will be under control and will come naturally.

But now... Fang Yu is back alive!
A cold light flashed in the depths of Senior Sister Lulu's eyes as she quickly deduced a new plan.

"Based on my observations over the past few days, that guy's true strength should be hovering around the Pearl Soul Realm. There is absolutely no way he can confront the Zong Family's lineup head-on! So... there must be something fishy going on with the Zong Family!"

"What on earth happened over there? What methods did he use? Or... who is helping him behind the scenes?"

"so……"

"If you want to solve this problem, it's actually not that complicated. Just cut off his external aid, or... just strike with thunder when his external aid can't intervene!"

Just as Senior Sister Lulu was thinking about how to get rid of Fang Yu, the variable, cleanly and efficiently, there was a rapid and restrained knock on the door.

dong dong!

"Come in."

Senior Sister Lulu calmed her mind and regained her composure.

A trusted subordinate pushed the door open and walked in. He immediately lowered his head and reported in a very low voice: "Master Lulu...Master Qianwu has arrived in the capital ahead of time!"

Qianwu?

Senior Sister Lulu was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly lit up with surprise!

He is the chief disciple of Elder Huxin!
No, to be precise... Qian Wu is a demon!
A dead door cannot tolerate demons.

This is an idea that is ingrained in our bones.

But the door is never set in stone.

When "Lord Tang" was still alive, the ultimate goal of "no demons in the world" within Jue Men was split into two completely different extreme philosophies.

The reason why Senior Sister Lulu is looking forward to the arrival of Elder Huxin is precisely because Elder Huxin is an extremely special person.

On the surface, he is a member of the sect leader's faction, but what he does can only be truly tolerated by people who uphold the more tolerant philosophy of "Master Tang".

Just because he... can enslave demons!

He will use secret methods to control the captured powerful monsters, turning them into the sharpest knives in his hands!

Just like demons keeping humans in captivity and enslaving them.

According to Elder Hufa's own words, he was using the most extreme means to retaliate against the demons, to torture the demons, and use demons to slaughter demons, so that these monsters could experience firsthand what it felt like to be stabbed by "companions" in familiar skins!
Then end the lives of these demons in the most painful way.

Its core concept, after all, is the leader's belief that "there are no demons in the world."

However, its methods are heavily dependent on the tolerance of "Lord Tang" and his faction towards the behavior of "enslaving demons".

Therefore, Elder Huxin's position in Juemen is extremely delicate.

He is not only a fighting force that the leader relies on, but also deeply protected and favored by "Lord Tang" and his faction.

Therefore, if she, the successor to "Lord Tang's" ideas, makes any demands on him in the name of "Lord Tang", Elder Huxin will absolutely not be able to shirk and will definitely stand firmly on her side!
Unless there is a head-on conflict with the leader, his position can be shaken.

Senior Sister Lulu knows this very well and will naturally not let that happen.

Now she holds the Sect Leader's order, which is enough to make Elder Huxin obey her orders!
“Qian Wu…” Senior Sister Lulu raised a cold arc at the corner of her mouth, “With its strength, although it is not as strong as a true six-spirit strongman, it should be more than enough to deal with Diao Deyi, who is only in the Pearl Soul Realm!”

It’s like timely help!

Senior Sister Lulu immediately came up with a plan in her mind and asked, "Where is it now?"

"Master Lulu, Master Qianwu is still outside the city. Although the capital is no longer a monolithic entity, if wild monsters want to enter the city quietly, they still need our internal support." The subordinate replied respectfully.

"I understand."
