The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"What?!"

"So that's how it is..."

Upon hearing the report from their subordinates, all the bigwigs looked surprised.

No one wins; both sides suffer.

According to reports from their subordinates, the two men appeared in the same spot as before.

Dugu Chongxiao's armor was shattered, and he was covered in blood, looking extremely disheveled.

Lu Yuan wasn't in much better shape. He had a bloody hole the size of a fist in his chest, and a golden light flickered at the wound, as if a burning star was embedded in it, which is why it hadn't healed yet.

After the two appeared, they did not fight again. Dugu Chongxiao went straight back to the Starry Sky Building. On the other side, Lu Yuan also activated Blood Shadow Escape immediately and fled back to the Shen family.

"So that's how it is."

After hearing the report, the group of bigwigs watched the video again by themselves.

No suspicious activity was found.

At the same time, they immediately sent people to inquire about the two people's situation from the guild hall and the Shen family, but both families remained tight-lipped and did not reveal a single word.

Judging from the situation, it's truly a lose-lose situation.

Is this how it ends?

Coming to their senses, many people couldn't help but frown.

This time, the clash between Lu Yuan and the Starry Sky Club will either result in severe damage to the Starry Sky Club or Lu Yuan's death in battle, and the Shen family will also suffer as a result.

When one side is weakened or destroyed, regardless of the outcome, some interests will inevitably be vacated, and some people can take the opportunity to seize them.

But now, the Starry Sky Hall has not been severely damaged, and Lu Yuan is not dead.

Although Dugu Chongxiao was seriously injured, he was the only one injured, and the overall impact on the Starry Sky Club was not significant, let alone taking the opportunity to seize the Starry Sky Club's assets.

The same applies to Lu Yuan. Although he is also seriously injured, he is still alive. And with his abnormal self-healing ability, he might be back to his old self in no time. It's unrealistic to think he can take advantage of the situation and seize his base in the Northern Wilderness.

Doesn't this mean that people who thought they would get something good after watching this show actually just watched a spectacle?

"Those two bastards, are they just putting on an act?"

Immediately, some people began to speculate.

Both Lu Yuan and the Starry Sky Club were in a difficult situation at the time.

By putting on this act, both sides can give each other some face and back down smoothly, thus bringing the matter to a close.

If that's the case, it would indeed be good for both sides.

But it was just speculation, without any evidence.

Moreover, while Dugu Chongxiao might do that, judging from Lu Yuan's situation at the time, he was focused on revenge and seemed unlikely to be willing to do so.

For a time, various opinions arose, but ultimately no conclusion was reached.

It wasn't until half a month later that Star Hall issued a statement.

Lu Yuan was officially expelled from the sect and listed as an enemy!

Upon seeing this statement, there was another stir among various parties in Chongming Base City.

This means that Lu Yuan and his businesses are no longer under the protection of the Starry Sky Club. To put it more simply, various forces can attack Lu Yuan's base at will without having to worry about touching the Starry Sky Club.

For some forces, this is definitely good news.

After all, Lu Yuan's base was like a piece of fatty meat on a plate, and everyone had long been drooling over it.

Next, they can seize it by any means necessary, even by directly sending troops.

Regardless of whether or not they can take over that base, it has to be said that the club's statement will undoubtedly bring a series of huge troubles to Lu Yuan!

But on the other hand, what everyone is concerned about is...

The statement from Star Club is far too brief.

In fact, they could have easily added a sentence saying that Lu Yuan's base still belonged to the Starry Sky Club.

After all, that base had always been under the name of the Starry Sky Club, and Lu Yuan established it during the period when it was affiliated with the Starry Sky Club.

In this way, at least nominally, the Starry Sky Club can still maintain a certain degree of sovereignty over that base.

Without that sentence, what's the difference between abandoning the base altogether and doing nothing?

So it seems like the Starry Sky Club is showing weakness to Lu Yuan?

Strange. Is there something fishy going on here, or does the Starry Sky Club have other plans?

For a moment, everyone was unsure.

But with meat in front of you, it's impossible not to eat it.

Some powerful forces, such as the Starry Sky Club and the Ye family, are already making preparations to directly seize the base.

So far, Lu Yuan has remained completely silent.

"Is he really dead?"

There were previous rumors that after Lu Yuan's battle with Dugu Chongxiao, he returned to the Shen family and died from his injuries a few days later.

But if Lu Yuan is already dead, why would the Starry Sky Club issue that statement?

Everyone couldn't help but wonder if Lu Yuan was still alive, but seriously injured, and was probably still recuperating at the Shen family's house.

As we already know from previous battles, Lu Yuan possesses extremely strong self-healing abilities, and many near-fatal injuries can be healed in the blink of an eye.

But this does not contradict the fact that he is currently recovering from an injury.

Perhaps Lu Yuan's self-healing has certain limitations. For example, it is actually an overdraft of his body. Now that the overdraft is severe, it has backfired, so he needs to recuperate.

Furthermore, it's also possible that Dugu Chongxiao's methods are unique, capable of causing continuous damage to Lu Yuan, preventing his wounds from healing.

This can be seen from the persistent, unhealed hole in Lu Yuan's chest when he appeared.

In short, based on just a few battles, we can obtain too little information to make a complete judgment about Lu Yuan's self-healing ability.

Therefore, most people tend to believe that Lu Yuan was still recovering from serious injuries at this time.

Lu Yuan's life or death, as well as his current situation, have a great impact on his base. For a time, all parties were investigating the specific situation.

Unfortunately, the Shen family kept their secret very tightly, and not a single piece of information leaked out.

To be honest, the Starry Sky Club has already listed Lu Yuan as an enemy, but Shen Fuyue, as the Grand Elder of the Starry Sky Club, is still protecting his son-in-law without even trying to cover it up.

The relationship between Shen Fuyue and the Star Hall has also led people to speculate.

First, the head of the club developed serious health problems, then the internal power struggle intensified, and now even the usually steadfast Grand Elder is becoming disloyal. The situation at the Star Club is very dire.

Many people are even looking forward to the moment when this behemoth will collapse.

As the saying goes, "When a whale falls, all things are born," meaning that once the Starry Sky Guild falls, many forces can reap huge benefits!

"How did that kid do?"

Just as the outside world was buzzing with discussion, the second and third wives got together again.

They didn't care about the outcome of Lu Yuan's match against the Starry Sky Club; they only cared about Lu Yuan himself!

After all, there are only a few days left before the Shen family's year-end martial arts showdown.

"Even if he's not dead, he's too badly injured to cause any trouble."

The third wife snorted softly, a hint of smugness on her face.

"As the saying goes, arrogance will inevitably be punished by Heaven. That kid was far too arrogant, daring to storm the Starry Sky Building. Now look what happened to him!"

"If that's the case, then we can breathe a sigh of relief for now."

The second wife nodded, remained silent for a while, and then suddenly looked at the third wife.

"This is a golden opportunity for us."

"What do you mean?"

"...That kid surnamed Lu is injured this time, but once he recovers, won't he still be a menace!"

"you mean?"

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

"That's right!"

The third wife nodded. They had wanted to get rid of Lu Yuan before, but they hadn't been able to reach an agreement on how much effort each person should contribute.

Now is a golden opportunity. As long as we find Lu Yuan's whereabouts, we can take him down without much cost!

Immediately afterwards, the people from both sides huddled together and whispered among themselves.
