Chapter 635 A Tragedy

Yun Zirou finally returned to Cloud City after such a long absence, only to be greeted with such bad news!

Her vision went dark, and she almost passed out.

"Why was my family wiped out?"

"What happened in Cloud City!"

Yun Zirou squatted on the ground, her hands on her hips. She had always been a strong woman, but she couldn't take it any longer.

Lu Yu approached her and patted her on the shoulder. "No matter who the culprit is, we'll help you find them and dismember him into a thousand pieces!"

"The Yuan family rose to the top of Cloud City after my family was wiped out. They've always been our enemy," Yun Zirou said, raising her head. "It has to be them if we're looking for the culprit!"

Lu Yu gave a slight nod. "It should likely be them. The sacrifice of people's lives frequently accompanied business disputes."

"However, you two must have been at odds for more than a day or two. The fact that your family was suddenly wiped out makes it clear that they've received some outside assistance."

Yun Zirou nodded. "Yeah. They must have had help, as we have been firmly above the Yuan family for many years."

"Now that they've been given the opportunity, they didn't even spare a life!"

Yun Zirou then swore with malice.

"I'll definitely avenge you all, Mom and Dad! I most certainly will!" Yun Zirou clenched her fists and swore vehemently.

"Have you contacted every member of your family? There must have been some who managed to flee, right?" Lu Yu inquired.

"I've just yet to call my brother. I'll call him right now," Yun Zirou said after a moment.

She took out her phone with trembling hands and dialed her brother's number.

The phone rang for a long time before getting connected!

There was no sound from the phone even after the call was connected.

Neither Yun Zirou nor the person spoke; both were wary of the other.

Yun Zirou was waiting for the other party to speak first because she knew that if her brother died, the phone he left behind would most likely fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Hello, is this Zirou?" The other person asked cautiously.

Yun Zirou's eyes widened when she heard the familiar voice. "Is it you? Are you still alive? I saw the news, our family..."

"Sob... I couldn't stop them, and the Yun family was gone. They all died horribly, and I was lucky to escape. Now I'm hiding in a nook of the city, unable to see the light of day!"

Her brother burst into tears and began blaming himself.

Yun Zirou remained silent. She'd known her brother for many years and knew what kind of person he was.

"It's enough that you made it out alive. We'll take care of the rest."

"What are your whereabouts, Zirou? I'll look for you. Let's leave this city and go somewhere far away. After all, you're my only remaining family member!"

"No, I'm not going anywhere. I'm here for revenge. I can't live under the same sky as them after they murdered our parents!" Yun Zirou dismissed the idea.

"Now is not the time to lose your cool, Zirou. You are not a match for them. Let's just leave for now!"

"I'm going to eradicate the Yuan family and make them pay with their blood. If you want to leave, you can do so. You may return after I have destroyed them."

Her brother fell silent when he heard this.

"You're the only family member I have left, Zirou. I'll accompany you because you insist on doing so." He let out a deep sigh and said helplessly.

He knew that this was no different from suicide. However, if Yun Zirou died, he would have no reason to continue living.

"Come find me, and I'll deal with the enemy."

Yun Zirou stated.

"What are we going to do next?"

Yun Zirou turned to face Lu Yu. She was no match for the Yuan family, but she felt confident with Lu Yu by her side.

"Let's start by booking a hotel room. The Emerald Hotel in the city center appears to be a fine choice. It's the top hotel in the entire city, and I've heard that the customers there are all from wealthy families."

"Sure."

"We'll go to the Emerald Hotel later," Yun Zirou said into her phone. "Just come over and contact us."

"All right, I'll go find you guys right away!"

Yun Zirou stood up and looked at Lu Yu after she hung up the phone.

"We should have some time left now. I intend to exact vengeance on the Yuan family, so... will you come and assist me?"

Lu Yu gave a slight nod. "Of course. I can't stand by and watch you die. Don't worry, and we'll handle the rest."

"The two of us will assist you in capturing them and then let you deal with them."

Yun Zirou nodded slightly, but her brow furrowed quickly.

"Oh, but there's a problem. The Yuan family is powerful, and I'm afraid we'll have difficulty defeating them if it's just the three of us."

Yun Zirou's words were valid, and Lu Yu knew of them. Despite his increasing strength and talent, he was still not as powerful as those who had been cultivating for decades.

Someone with a B-Level talent trained for 40 years would still be stronger than someone with an S-Level talent trained for less than 10 years.

As a result, it was difficult for Lu Yu to guarantee victory against those old farts.

"Don't think about it too much. Let's check into a hotel and rest for the night."

After saying that, Lu Yu stood by the roadside and called a taxi to the Emerald Hotel.

The Emerald Hotel was located in Cloud City's most prosperous city center. It was congested here, and the roads were jam-packed with cars.

Their taxi soon came to a halt in front of the Emerald Hotel.

The hotel towered over a hundred meters in height and was a magnificent structure. The greenery in front of the building looked beautiful, and a massive signboard stood in emerald green characters.

Lu Yu led the way into the front hall, and he approached the front desk lady.

"Give me four rooms that must be connected." Lu Yu approached and said.

"I'm sorry, we don't have four interconnected rooms," the lady at the front desk replied, looking at Lu Yu and the others.

Then, she turned to Yun Zirou and said, "Also, this person can't enter."

Lu Yu looked at Yun Zirou and returned his gaze to the receptionist, asking, "Why can't she enter? What is this about?"

"I'm sorry, but my manager asked for it because her surname is Yun."

Lu Yu nodded slightly, understanding what she meant right away. This was clearly the work of the Yun family's arch-enemy, the Yuan family.

They had most likely already placed the remaining member of the Yun family on the city's wanted list and would not provide any services to the Yun family's remnants.

"You must give me these four rooms today, or you can forget about continuing your hotel business!"

Lu Yu demanded icily. He didn't even need to think and knew the Yuan family was behind the annihilation of the Yun family. He could drop all pretense now that he knew for sure, as there was no need to be courteous to an adversary.
