Chapter 920: Kneel and Apologize to Him; First Encounter with the Arrogant and Mysterious Secret Realm
"When?!"
Yu Liuli spoke, her voice filled with disbelief.
From start to finish, whether it was her or anyone else present, no one had seen or realized when Lu Ding had made his move.
They only knew that one second, Yu Liuli was still speaking.
The next second, half of her arm was already gone.
Lu Ding's voice rang out at that moment: "I hate it when people point at me. Pity we didn't meet in reality."
"Otherwise, I would definitely have killed you."
Yu Liuli took half a step back.
Her heart understood; the person before her was terrifyingly powerful, his strength unknown but certainly far exceeding hers.
How come she had never heard of such a figure in Western Wuwang before?Yu Luochen wanted to step forward to show concern.
Yu Liuli raised her hand to stop him. After glancing at her severed arm, she spoke: "A personage of your caliber, sir, why must you associate with this Wuwang traitor?"
"Rather than being his companion, why not cooperate with us?"
"The western region is barren. Whatever he can give you, I can give you as well, and even more!"
Still trying to poach at this point.
Yuwen Longyuan felt like laughing.
What *he* gave?
He hadn't given anything at all.
Lu Ding didn't offer a pleasant expression, casting a sidelong glance: "Fine. First, kneel down and apologize to him, then beg me. I might consider your suggestion."
"Otherwise, today, leaving this Nowhere Room won't be so easy for you."
Yuwen Longyuan promptly added fuel to the fire, his tone mocking: "'Does Not Worship Guanyin', Yu Liuli, what a prodigious figure, stirring up the southern region, taking 'Does not worship Guanyin' as her title, truly proud."
"Just wondering if today, you'll be able to kneel down."
There were only two ways to leave the Nowhere Room.
First, have your consciousness forcibly dispersed, severely injured, and return to your physical body.
Second, walk out through the main gate.
There was no other method.
Following Yuwen Longyuan's voice adding insult to injury, the five top-ranking fierce generals under Yu Liuli could no longer hold back.
Someone immediately jumped out and shouted!!
"Don't push people too far!!!?"
Lu Ding picked up the phrase: "Push people too far?"
He raised his hand and struck out with a palm, blasting the figure into nothingness from a distance!!!
A thunderous *bang* echoed.
Lu Ding's voice sounded after the strike: "We *are* pushing you. What are you going to do about it?"
Then, without any warning, he struck out with another palm.
Blowing up another person on the spot.
Lu Ding glared sideways at Yu Liuli: "Kneel, or not!?"
To thoroughly make Yuwen Longyuan smash the pot and go all the way down a single path, it wasn't enough just to provide him with confidence and emotional value; the deed had to be done to the extreme!
Make him offend people everywhere!!
Leaving him with only oneself to rely on.
Only under such circumstances could Lu Ding use him with peace of mind!!!
Yu Liuli looked at her two exploded subordinates.
Her heart understood that if she did not kneel, today's matter would likely not end peacefully.
This operation was of great importance. If they failed before even starting, suffering heavy losses in the Nowhere Room without even meeting Lu Ding's face, with injuries returning to their physical bodies...
It would definitely have a significant impact on subsequent actions.
But to make her kneel to Yuwen Longyuan...
Her pride as a great prodigy, her self-respect, her arrogance... were they truly worthless?
Seeing her still hesitating, Lu Ding spoke.
"Clueless!!"
He raised his hand, forming a claw. A suction force emanated from it, violently pulling Yu Luochen, who was standing in place, towards him. He threw him onto the table, pressed down with his leg, and smashed hard onto his chest.
Yu Liuli panicked!
"I'll kneel!!!!"
As her words fell.
Yu Luochen shouted loudly: "Sister!!! You can't die in the Nowhere Room!! We're not afraid of him!!!!"
Then he looked at Lu Ding and Yuwen Longyuan.
"Using me as a hostage? I'll die right in front of you!!!!"
He activated a secret technique within his body.
Yu Luochen exploded on the tabletop. With a *boom*, the table was smashed to pieces!
Witnessing this scene, Yu Liuli's eyes filled with hatred.
"Today's humiliation, in the future, Yu Liuli will repay it a hundredfold!!!"
Then, following her brother's footsteps, she exploded on the spot.
The two surviving subordinate officers and fierce generals who came with her also exploded one after another.
Lu Ding smiled faintly: "Quite spirited."
Done.
The path was cut off.
Now, the Yu siblings were truly locked in a life-and-death feud with Yuwen Longyuan.
But Yuwen Longyuan was also exhilarated.
"Hahahaha, so satisfying!!!!"
"Arrogant? Overbearing? 'Does Not Worship Guanyin'? What a complete joke!!!!"
Then his gaze turned directly to Lu Ding: "I will find their locations as soon as possible. I'll trouble you then."
Although Yuwen Longyuan had now burned all bridges!
He didn't care anymore. He had been feeling stifled and wronged for so long.
Anyone could come and step on him!!
Now that there was a chance to return with his head held high, it was like an arrow shot that cannot be retrieved.
But since they were to cooperate, they must maintain a good cooperative relationship.
Mutual benefit was the key to longevity.
Some information might be unimportant to Yuwen Longyuan, but for the 749 Bureau... well...
Then they heard Yuwen Longyuan speak: "Now that Yu Liuli's side is injured, they probably won't cause any trouble for a while."
"With multiple forces wiped out, the Divine Sword Sect and the Child Association likely won't take action for some time either."
"Lu Ding will get a breathing space, enough to sort out the Lady's Temple and Asura Street."
"But......."
"The people from the Yellow Heaven Sect might not let it go so easily."
Lu Ding listened, then responded with a smile to Yuwen Longyuan's earlier words: "You can find me for anything afterwards."
Yuwen Longyuan nodded, then continued: "There is indeed a small matter."
"Previously, when Lu Ding was in Great Jing, he killed the Holy Maiden of the Yellow Heaven Sect's Great Jing branch, Shi Tangxue. The Yellow Heaven Sect's leader, Shi Yuanshan, harbored resentment and has already pursued him to the new city."
"But the new city is Lu Ding's home turf. It's unrealistic for them to deal with him here. They can only seek help from Wuwang, with whom they've had prior cooperation."
"They plan to awaken the Mad God previously suppressed beneath the Mouth of the Evil Prison to deal with Lu Ding."
"And they promised me: they provide the people, they provide the sacrifices, and they'll split the Mad God's lost treasure with me fifty-fifty. The condition is that I produce the Mad God's Crown Jewel."
"Originally, I refused. Plus, there were many matters, and running around outside was risky. But now Yu Liuli is pressuring me urgently, yet I cannot show myself. I can only trouble you to make a trip for me. I will place the Mad God's gem under the arch of the Stone Arch Bridge."
"Tomorrow morning at nine, I will arrange to meet them at the ruined temple beside the Bixi Stele outside the Mouth of the Evil Prison. You handle it as you see fit."
The Yellow Heaven Sect.
The Mad God.
This arrogant name, Lu Ding actually knew a bit about it, both from his past life and this one.
In his past life, the ancient Vietnamese text "Lĩnh Nam Chích Quái" contained descriptions of this thing. It was a spirit transformed from a large sandalwood tree, extremely savage and cruel, often ate people, and was later subdued and suppressed.
In this life, the former Mad God was one of the Yellow Heaven Sect's Dharma Protectors, notorious for its fearsome reputation.
Later, during a battle with Great Han, it suffered severe injuries and disappeared.
Lu Ding hadn't expected it to be at the Mouth of the Evil Prison.
Lu Ding asked: "The Mad God is suppressed beneath the Mouth of the Evil Prison. Doesn't the 749 Bureau know?"
Yuwen Longyuan shook his head: "When the Mad God was suppressed at the Mouth of the Evil Prison, this land of the new city hadn't even been exchanged by Great Han yet."
"At that time, the Mad God was severely injured. There was a capable person in the Yellow Heaven Sect who calculated that in the future, the new city would belong to Great Han. The Mouth of the Evil Prison was an auspicious land, but in the future, it would see much warfare, turning from a blessed land into a land of baleful energy. The Yellow Heaven Sect people then adapted their plan accordingly. On the surface, they suppressed the Mad God there, but in reality, they used the land to nourish the corpse into a sinister evil, waiting for the right opportunity to use it against Great Han."
"But you know Wuwang's operating style. After learning of this, Wuwang's powerful figures used schemes to deceive and employed their methods to seize the Crown Jewel capable of awakening the Mad God."
"But this thing only works when used together with the crown. Moreover, after the Mad God awakens, it only recognizes the Yellow Heaven Sect's secret techniques."
"This led to an awkward situation for both sides."
Hearing this, a question arose. Lu Ding was curious: "Since this thing is so important, how did you get your hands on it? And how did they know you had it?"
Yuwen Longyuan fell silent for a moment.
Seeing his silence, Lu Ding understood—this man had secrets.
Forget it, couldn't be bothered.
Everyone has secrets.
He stood up: "Then leave this matter to me. We'll contact each other again if anything comes up later."
The Mad God, ah. Such a weighty name. It was bound to yield good loot, not to mention there was treasure to be had. Wasn't this practically a secret realm?
Finally!!
He was finally going to explore a secret realm too. The sense of novelty instantly skyrocketed!!!
Although Lu Ding had no experience, it didn't matter. He had the treasure-hunting mouse, Zhan Tingzhou!!!
