Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 754 - 391: Demons Arise from the Heart

After the Demon General's defeat, Lu Yu immediately deployed the Sacred Flame Barrier to clear the area.

All the demons within the Sacred Flame Barrier spontaneously combusted into ash, especially since he had discovered the demons' lair hidden underground.

With a single blow to the top of the demons' lair, Lu Yu destroyed the entire lair and unexpectedly discovered a Seed of Demons.

[Obtained life source quantity: 1, Remaining life source quantity: 1]

Boom! After collecting the life source, Lu Yu threw a large fireball, incinerating the remaining parts of the lair into ashes, with the flames illuminating half the sky.

He used a bit of Soul Power to set the flames to burn only Demonic Qi, which would extinguish automatically once the Demonic Qi was consumed.

Or they would extinguish automatically after the Soul Power he left behind was completely consumed.

Lu Yu had only mastered a little bit of Soul Power application, with many more usage methods waiting for him to explore.

Most Martial Cultivators use Soul Power centered around their own Divine Soldiers' abilities, expanding to the aspects needed.

Because if one does not have enough insight into the rules they change, the scope of rule changes is very small, and the power is not strong, making it difficult to use in combat.

Lu Yu flew up and headed toward the rescued city. Before reaching it, he saw several people flying up from the city wall, respectfully inviting him to enter the city.

Among them were the City Lord, the defenders, and the clan heads of the major families within the city.

The war had just ended, and the city wall was in disarray, needing repairs, so Lu Yu and the others went to the City Lord's mansion.

The City Lord personally poured tea for Lu Yu and respectfully said, "I am Chen Zhiyuan, the City Lord of Qingyang City. Thank you, respected one, for your assistance. If it weren't for your help, the consequences would be unimaginable..."

"There's no need for thanks. I am Lu Yu, the ninety-sixth generation Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Please ask the person in charge from the Qingyang City Divine Weapon Pavilion to come here." Lu Yu interrupted and said.

Lu Yu didn't care much about these empty titles. Moreover, after saving Qingyang City, he already received his reward—his reputation soared.

Now his reputation points exceeded 20,000, reaching world-renowned status, allowing him to gain 500% extra experience points when slaying enemies on the battlefield abroad.

Upon hearing Lu Yu's declaration of identity, everyone displayed shocked expressions, not expecting Lu Yu to be the Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

"I have long heard of Saint Heir Lu's identity. Meeting today, you are indeed extraordinary, like a celestial being descending to earth. I am impressed." The great general guarding the city stood up and praised with cupped hands.

"I had only heard of the Saint Heir's name, not met the person. Seeing the Saint Heir today, I hope you forgive any slight on my part." The clan head of the Meng family stood up and said respectfully.

...

Seeing more people wanting to stand up and say some polite words, Lu Yu directly waved his hand and said, "Sit down; there's no need to speak further. Eliminating demons is the duty of a Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple. I merely performed within my responsibilities, no need for praise."

Seeing Lu Yu's attitude, the others who wanted to speak also silently sat back without saying anything, understanding the Saint Heir's dislike for excessive praise.

Not long after, a voice came from outside, "The Deputy Pavilion Master of Qingyang City's Divine Weapon Pavilion requests to meet."

Looking around at the silent City Lord, Lu Yu could only call out to the outside, "Come in."

After Cen Chi, the Deputy Pavilion Master of Qingyang City's Divine Weapon Pavilion, entered, he immediately saw Lu Yu sitting there, wearing the Saint Heir's attire of the Divine Weapon Pavilion. He walked to Lu Yu and respectfully greeted, "Cen Chi, in charge of Qingyang City, greets Saint Heir."

Despite being Deputy Pavilion Master, in the Divine Weapon Pavilion hierarchy, he was still an outer sect official. Beyond that were the inner sect elders of the Pavilion.

However, it was rare for an outer sect official to become an inner sect elder; typically, the Deputy Pavilion Master was the highest level an outer sect disciple could achieve.

Lu Yu nodded and asked, "Why is the transmission array in Qingyang City unusable?"

Cen Chi cautiously glanced at Lu Yu, finding he wasn't being blamed, then explained, "Reporting to Saint Heir, Qingyang City's transmission array was ordered to be shut down by Elder Liu to prevent Demonic Qi from contaminating the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm."

Lu Yu looked at Cen Chi, understanding he wouldn't dare lie about such an important matter, thought of something, and asked curiously, "Where is Elder Liu?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"When the demons attacked the city, the elder responsible should come out to confront them. Why haven't I seen Elder Liu himself?"

Cen Chi didn't know where Elder Liu had gone either and had to say, "I also don't know. However, when the demons first appeared, Elder Liu was already in Qingyang City and helped the city's forces resist the demons' early attacks but later vanished without leaving us a note."

Lu Yu looked at Qingyang City Lord Chen Zhiyuan, silently asking him if Cen Chi's words were true. Chen Zhiyuan, although having great resentment towards Elder Liu for disappearing after the demon attack, nodded to indicate Cen Chi was truthful.

"Forget it," Lu Yu thought, considering it's none of his business and not interested in finding Elder Liu's whereabouts. He merely wanted to return to the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm.

He did want to ask them how long it had been since he entered the Shattered World.

But these people, unaware of the events in the imperial city, couldn't answer Lu Yu's questions, and he himself forgot the day he entered the Shattered World.

Or perhaps he never remembered what day it was.

After all, this is the Martial World, unlike Earth, where the time and date can be seen anytime and anywhere.
