At this moment, Lu Yu snorted coldly, and with a flash of his body, he stood in front of the two men.

He raised his hand and a breath stronger than Chen Kang's suddenly burst out, like a real pressure that directly forced Chen Kang back several steps.

Chen Kang stumbled to the ground, his face pale, and a hint of fear finally appeared in his eyes.

He clearly felt that Lu Yu's strength far exceeded his own, and might even be close to the level of Titled Douluo.

He gritted his teeth and tried to put up a final struggle. "I just wanted to teach these two nonsense guys a lesson! This matter was caused by them, why are you being so aggressive?"

Lu Yu sneered, his eyes piercing him like knives: "If you know it's one-sided, why did you bring so many soul masters here? It's clearly a premeditated plan!"

This statement hit the nail on the head and directly exposed Chen Kang's logical flaws.

The soul masters around nodded one after another, and the discussion became more intense. Chen Kang's face was extremely ugly, and there was no room for any explanation.

Seeing that the situation was completely out of control, Lu Yu no longer hesitated and said in a deep voice: "Capture everyone. If anything goes wrong, I will take the responsibility."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soul master team of the pharmacy quickly stepped forward, led by two soul douluos, with great momentum.

Upon seeing this, the soul masters from the Chen and Zhou families all took up combat stances. The Zhou family head even shouted fiercely, "Lu Yu, you dare to touch us? We have the Spirit Academy behind us!"

Lu Yu heard this, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "So what about Wuhun Academy? Today, none of you can leave."

Before he finished speaking, he stomped his feet and launched his soul skill "Mountain Collapse and Earth Shattering"

Activate instantly.

The ground shook violently, and ferocious spikes rose from the ground, carrying a cold murderous intent, instantly knocking away several soul masters who rushed forward.

Blood splattered, screams rang out one after another, and the scene was in chaos.

The soul masters from the pharmacy took advantage of the situation and engaged in a fierce battle with the soul masters from the Chen and Zhou families.

Lu Yu stood in the middle of the field, his aura as imposing as a mountain, and just one soul skill shocked the entire audience.

Faced with the absolute gap in strength, the soul masters of the Chen and Zhou families quickly lost their fighting spirit, and the remaining people were silent and retreated one after another.

In just a few minutes, the battle ended with an overwhelming victory for the pharmacy. The ground was littered with wounded and corpses. The faces of the heads of the Chen and Zhou families were as pale as paper, and they were completely unable to accept the defeat before them.

Lu Yu slowly gathered his breath, glanced across the scene, and said calmly: "Two Patriarchs, now we can discuss what's next."

His voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable authority.

Chen Kang and the head of the Zhou family looked at each other, their eyes full of bitterness and unwillingness, but there was no room for resistance.

Lu Yu stood in the middle of the spacious hall of the pharmacy, his eyes as sharp as knives, slowly sweeping across Chen Kang, the head of the Chen family, and Zhou Tai, the head of the Zhou family, standing opposite him.

Behind the two of them, the originally aggressive group of monks had long disappeared, leaving only their lonely figures, like fallen leaves blown away by the wind, looking in a miserable state.

Inside the hall, several managers of the pharmacy stood on both sides with stern eyes, and an invisible sense of oppression permeated the air.

Sunlight streamed in through the tall glazed windows, casting mottled shadows on the bluestone floor, but it was unable to dispel the solemn atmosphere at the moment.

Chen Kang's face was ashen, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. His clenched fists were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress the anger and anxiety in his heart.

Zhou Tai lowered his head, his eyes dodging, as if trying to find a little breathing space under Lu Yu's stare.

Lu Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sneer, breaking the suffocating silence in the hall.

"Master Chen, Master Zhou,"

Lu Yu's voice was low but clear, and every word seemed to strike at the hearts of the two men, "Since our pharmacy settled in Huyun City, we have adhered to fair trade, saved countless soul masters, and have never taken the initiative to make enemies with any forces.

But you two families have repeatedly provoked me, sent people to cause trouble, and even tried to destroy the foundation of my pharmacy.

Today, I want to hear what your reasons are."

Chen Kang's throat rolled, as if he wanted to open his mouth to argue, but Lu Yu's gaze pierced him like a sharp blade, making him swallow back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Zhou Tai beside him was even more silent. He moved his lips but didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Lu Yu snorted coldly and slowly took a step forward. His boots stepped on the bluestone ground, making a crisp sound, as if knocking on the hearts of the two people.

"Since you have nothing to say, then listen to me."

Lu Yu's voice suddenly turned cold, with unquestionable majesty, "What you two have done has damaged the reputation of the pharmacy and caused countless losses in business.

Today, I give you a chance to hand over all your medicinal herb fields to compensate for the losses of the pharmacy."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Kang and Zhou Tai's expressions changed suddenly.

The medicinal herb fields are the core industries of the two families, involving the offerings of countless soul masters and the lifeblood of the family. Handing over the fields is tantamount to cutting flesh and digging out the heart.

Chen Kang suddenly raised his head, a flash of anger in his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Yu, you are going too far! The medicinal herb fields are the century-old foundation of my Chen family. Why should I give them to you?"

When Lu Yu heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. Without moving, his soul power swept out like a tide, instantly covering the entire hall.

Chen Kang and Zhou Tai only felt an invisible pressure coming towards them, as if they were in the center of a storm, and even breathing became difficult.

Lu Yu's voice rang out again, with a hint of joking: "Master Chen, a century-old foundation? If I wish, two new families will appear in Huyun City tomorrow. Do you believe it or not?"

This naked threat shocked Chen Kang and Zhou Tai.

They knew very well that Lu Yu was not making empty threats.

Behind the pharmacy is not only a powerful soul master, but also the unfathomable young strongman Lu Yu.

The military forces of the Chen and Zhou families had already been completely depleted in previous conflicts. Now facing Lu Yu, they didn't even have the room to fight back.

Chen Kang's face turned from blue to white, and the anger in his eyes was gradually replaced by helplessness.

He gritted his teeth and tried to make a last-ditch effort: "Lu Yu, don't be complacent! When my son returns from the Wuhun Academy, I will make your pharmacy pay the price!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yu flashed away, and the next moment, the sound of a crisp slap echoed in the hall.

Chen Kang staggered back two steps, and a bright red palm print quickly appeared on his left cheek.

He covered his face, his eyes full of shock and humiliation, but he didn't dare say another word.

Lu Yu looked at him coldly, his voice as low as ice: "This is a pharmacy, not your Chen family.

If you continue to speak outrageously, Master Chen, I won't mind removing your Chen family from Huyun City."

Seeing this, Zhou Tai hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Brother Chen, forget it.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. "

He turned to look at Lu Yu and forced an ugly smile, "Master Lu, we are willing to hand over the medicinal herb fields, and we only ask that this matter be stopped here."

Lu Yu nodded slightly, his eyes still stern: "In this case, within three days, send the land contract to the pharmacy.

If there is any delay or obstruction, the consequences will be at your own risk."

He paused and added, "You can go now."

Chen Kang and Zhou Tai looked at each other, both with humiliation and unwillingness in their eyes, but they didn't dare to say anything more.

They lowered their heads and slowly walked out of the hall, their backs looking particularly desolate in the sunlight.

Lu Yu stood there, his eyes deep, as if thinking about something.

Behind him, the managers of the apothecary stepped forward, their eyes filled with awe and admiration. "Manager Wu,"

Lu Yu turned to look at the middle-aged steward beside him and said calmly, "Immediately arrange for personnel to take over the medicinal herb fields of the Chen and Zhou families.

We must ensure that nothing goes wrong. If they dare to make any small moves, the experts in the pharmacy will take action."

Manager Wu nodded quickly and said respectfully, "Don't worry, Master. I have made all the necessary arrangements and will definitely live up to your trust."

He paused, then asked tentatively, "Master, by seizing the lands of these two families, are we intending to show off our pharmacy's strength to Hu Yuncheng?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a meaningful smile: "Boss Wu, you just need to do as I tell you.

The pharmacy has been rooted in Huyun City for nearly three years, and its foundation has changed a lot.

This incident is just to let the outside world see how sharp our fangs are."

Manager Wu was startled and nodded his head, not daring to ask any more questions.

Lu Yu looked past him and at the sky outside the hall, a complex light flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the compromise between the Chen and Zhou families was only temporary and the real storm was yet to come.

In the backyard of the pharmacy, Xiao Wu leaned on the railing of the corridor, her eyes softly falling on a crabapple tree in the yard.

A breeze blew by, and the pink petals fell like a gentle rain.

She was wearing a lavender dress, with long black hair draped over her shoulders, which made her skin look like snow, and her eyes and eyebrows held a bit of girlish agility and tenderness.

Lu Yu came out of the hall and saw the figure from afar.

He slowed down his pace and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

After approaching, he whispered: "Xiao Wu, what are you thinking about?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu turned around, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, followed by a hint of anger: "Brother Yu, you're finally done! How are the matters with the Chen and Zhou families going?"

Lu Yu sat down beside her and said in a relaxed tone: "They are just some jumping clowns. I have asked them to hand over the medicinal herb fields.

In the short term, they dare not act rashly again."

He paused and looked at Xiao Wu softly, “However, they won’t give up.

I'm afraid there will be some movement at the Wuhun Academy."

Xiao Wu frowned, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "Then what are you going to do? If they invite the strong men from the Wuhun Academy, you alone..."

Before she could finish her words, Lu Yu gently interrupted her.

"rest assured,"

Lu Yu held her hand, and the warmth of his palm warmed her heart, "The background of the pharmacy is far more than what is on the surface.

Besides, I’m not alone.”

He smiled, with a hint of confidence in his eyes, "It's just that I have to go to the Wuhun Empire in a few days to take care of some business."

Xiao Wu was startled, a trace of reluctance flashing in her eyes: "Leaving again? How long have you been back..."

She bit her lip and whispered, "What have you been busy with for more than a year? Every time you come back, you are in a hurry."

Lu Yu's heart softened, and he reached out to stroke her hair, his voice low and gentle: "For more than a year, I have been planning for the pharmacy and paving the way for our own future.

Xiao Wu, I promise you that I will stay with you for a few more days after I come back this time."

Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled when she heard this, but she forced a smile: "Okay, then you have to keep your word."

She paused, looked up at Lu Yu, and said, “Brother Yu, be careful when you go to the Wuhun Empire.

It's not like Huyun City, where soul masters are everywhere. If you're not careful..."

"I know."

Lu Yu nodded, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes, "I will be careful."

In the next few days, Lu Yu really stayed in the pharmacy, strolling around Huyun City with Xiao Wu, or sitting under the crabapple tree in the backyard and chatting.

The sun shines on the two of them, and time seems to become especially gentle.

However, Lu Yu always knew in his heart that this peace would only be short-lived.

The Wuhun Empire he was about to visit was far more complicated than Huyun City.

A few days later, Lu Yu embarked on the journey to the Wuhun Empire.

He was not in a hurry to travel, but deliberately slowed down his pace and observed several cities under the rule of the Wuhun Empire along the way.

Although these cities were affected by the recent turmoil, they gradually regained stability under his secret planning.

Lu Yu rode his horse slowly, his eyes sweeping across the streets and alleys, and the sound of people's discussions came to his ears from time to time.

He noticed that the rule of the Wuhun Empire showed a strange "loose outside and tight inside"

Pattern - The peripheral cities appear to be loose, with only local forces acting as spies, while the core areas are where power is concentrated, with soul masters following them everywhere, firmly controlling every key point.

Half a month later, Lu Yu finally arrived at the capital of the Wuhun Empire.

The city gates are tall and heavily guarded, and an invisible pressure hangs in the air.

He Jun, who was in charge of welcoming him, had already been waiting outside the city. Upon seeing Lu Yu arrive, he hurried forward and saluted: "Master, you are finally here."

Lu Yu nodded, his eyes swept over the several soul masters behind He Jun, and he said lightly: "Lead the way."

He Jun led Lu Yu into the pharmacy branch in the city and respectfully reported his work along the way: "Master, the medicinal materials have been delivered as you requested, and the pharmacist has also assisted in the refining of some medicines.

only……"

He paused, his tone slightly hesitant, "After checking with the master, it seems that the prescription sent is missing a key part. I'm afraid the Wuhun Empire has taken precautions."

When Lu Yu heard this, there was no surprise in his eyes, he just said lightly: "It's expected.

Don't worry, I will handle the follow-up matters myself."

He Jun nodded and didn't dare to ask more questions.

He knew that Lu Yu's methods were always unfathomable, and he only needed to follow his orders.

As night falls, the capital of the Wuhun Empire is brightly lit, but the streets are filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere.

Lu Yu left the pharmacy alone and sneaked into Hu Liena's mansion quietly.

The purpose of his trip was clear - as the Holy Maiden of the Wuhun Empire, Hu Liena had great influence and had some friendship with him. With her help, many things could be done more efficiently.

The lights in the mansion were dim, and there were few soul masters guarding it. It was far less strict than Lu Yu had expected.

He frowned, a sense of vigilance rising in his heart.

Just as he was about to sneak into the front hall, several sharp auras rushed in from all directions and surrounded him in an instant.

In the darkness, several figures emerged like ghosts, their soul power fluctuations undisguised, carrying an intense killing intent. (End of Chapter)
