Chapter 914 The Eavesdropper
On the crowded street, people were running about.
The entire city had experienced thousands of years of stagnation. It was dilapidated everywhere, overgrown with weeds, and had worn-down buildings. Just the repair work on the buildings would take a long time.
...On the way, Lu Yu looked at Helen and asked, “Can you tell me exactly how you entered hibernation?”
Lu Yu had always been curious about the ability to make an entire empire enter a dormant state and still survive for thousands of years. It was a ridiculous ability.
“The Emperor of the Ember Empire is the Great Emperor of Brightness. He is supreme, and his subordinates are all skilled.”
“One of the generals has an extremely powerful hypnotic ability. It’s too vague to call it hypnotism, as he can completely freeze a person, including their body, brain, organs, and strength.”
“After freezing, this person will not be affected by time and can sleep for a thousand years.”
“The Empire’s army had everyone enter their rooms or basements.”
“After that, that Great General released his ability to freeze everyone.”
Lu Yu was puzzled. “The Ember Empire is so vast. Is the person that powerful? Could he actually cover such a wide area?”
“He is indeed that powerful. Many people were unwilling to accept this and were forced to sleep. It is only now that they are revived.”
Lu Yu was surprised. He did not expect someone to have such a terrifying ability to freeze so many people simultaneously and then revive them thousands of years later.
“It seems that the person who hatched this plan must be very influential.”
Helen nodded and said, “That’s right; such a person must be the Emperor’s confidant. Otherwise, no one can do such a thing, even if he has the ability.”
They followed the street and arrived at a hotel.
Business at the hotel was cold, and almost no one was there.
The reason was simple. They had just been revived not long ago, and there was no circulation of people between the cities. Therefore, these rooms were naturally empty without any guests from other places.
The three of them booked three rooms, and each spent one Brilliant Coin.
In the corridor on the second floor, Lu Yu parted ways with the two of them and entered his room.
Lu Yu lay on his bed and took out the new divine artifact he had just obtained.
Void Evil Blade, a dark purple sword. When the handle was held tightly, the blade would glow slightly.
When he picked it up and played with it, Lu Yu vaguely felt that he could control the Void Evil Blade with his mind.
He placed the long sword on the bed and stared at it.
At that moment, the Void Evil Blade floated up as gravity lost its hold.
Seeing this, Lu Yu’s heart was filled with joy, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
If this sword could be controlled by his mind alone, wouldn’t he have another means of attack?
The Star Piercing Demonic Sword did not have this feature, and this feature was obviously a unique function of the Void Evil Blade.
Suddenly, Lu Yu’s ears twitched. He seemed to have heard something near the window.
The windows were simple and crude. They were just a few broken pieces of glass that had not been repaired.
It was pitch black outside; it was already nighttime.
However, Lu Yu could keenly sense that someone was hiding outside the window!
Lu Yu was surprised. Was he being targeted?
Who could it be? The only place he went during the day was the dojo. Could it be that the dojo sent someone to follow him?
No matter what, Lu Yu would not let go of this person who was following him.
Swoosh!
Lu Yu willed the Void Evil Blade to fly out of the window.
The Void Evil Blade turned into a purple blur and rushed out instantly.
The next moment, the Void Evil Blade pierced the person’s chest outside the window.
A black figure was squatting on the roof of Lu Yu’s room, trying to peek at Lu Yu.
He lowered his head and looked at his chest.
Blood slowly flowed down.
He didn’t even know when it happened, but a sharp blade had pierced his chest.
“How… How could this be?”
The next moment, he spat a mouthful of blood and fell, rolling down the roof.
Lu Yu was relieved when he heard the thud.
After that, Lu Yu lay on his bed and fell asleep.
At the same time, in the City Lord’s Mansion, the City Lord himself and a few nobles sat in the meeting hall. Everyone had grim and solemn expressions.
Quaker from the dojo was also among them.
“City Lord, that person is definitely not simple. Although it was just a simple sparring session, I could feel his extremely powerful strength. I’m not his match. In fact, I can feel that if he wants to kill me, he only needs one move.”
Hearing this, everyone frowned.
Quaker’s strength was not much different from the others.
Since that was the case, a mysterious cultivator had arrived in the city and was a significant threat to them.
“What is this person doing here? Will he pose any threat to us?” A tycoon asked.
Tulu, the City Lord, looked at Quacker and asked, “What exactly is that person doing here? Don’t you know anything?”
“He said that he’s an explorer who came to explore the world, and he met someone in Black Rock City.”
“Maybe he really is an explorer, and he’s here to take risks.”
Tulu’s furrowed brows relaxed.
However, at this moment, a soldier rushed into the meeting hall and looked at everyone. He announced in a panic, “Milords, the scout we just sent has been killed. He’s dead!”
“What? Who killed him?”
“He died nearby his scouting spot. He was likely killed by that guy called Will!”
Tulu stood up abruptly, his eyes flaring. “He’s asking for death! The disrespect! It looks like he isn’t here with good intentions!”
“Sir, what should we do?”
“Kill him, of course. Let’s attack together. I don’t believe we can’t take him down.”
He took a step and was about to walk out of the meeting hall, with the others following behind him.
Quaker walked to Tulu’s side and said worriedly, “That person is strong. It will be difficult for us to deal with him.”
“You’re too unconfident. Are you sure you’re alright? Don’t tell me that you’ve obliterated your confidence just by sparring with him?”
Quaker quickly retorted, “Fine, let’s fight. There’s no reason to be afraid with so many of us. We can definitely defeat him!”
