He couldn't help but complain, "How do you walk without making any noise, suddenly speaking next to , scared to death!"
"...", Lu Yu glanced at the 10-centiter gap between his soles and the ground. He had gotten used to practicing his control over spiritual power while walking, not even touching the ground with his feet, so naturally, he made no sound.
"Let's not talk about this. Why are you so panicked? I've walked all the way here and haven't seen a single enemy," Lu Yu said.
Chen Qingyun cald down and looked at him, saying, "How did you get in here? Forget it, since you're in, you're in."
"It's precisely because I haven't seen any enemies that I'm panicked. On the battlefield outside the domain, the least fearso are the opponents who co at you with weapons openly. The most frightening are those opponents who you haven't even noticed before you die without knowing why."
"Did you see the few words on the castle when you ca in?" Chen Qingyun asked.
Lu Yu nodded and said, "Yes, do you recognize them?"
Chen Qingyun nodded proudly, "Of course, those words are in the language of the Demon Spirit Empire, aning Demon Spirit Castle."
His face beca serious as he said, "The Demon Spirit Empire is a very famous empire outside the domain, destroyed thousands of years ago because they provoked the Void Evil God."
"They are well-known because the race that founded the Demon Spirit Empire—the Demon Spirits—are naturally born with very strong spiritual power. Once they reach adulthood, they possess spiritual power comparable to Martial Cultivators in the Core Formation Realm."
"They are very skilled in spiritual attacks and control. When the Demon Spirit Empire existed, they enslaved countless races using spiritual control."
"Those enslaved races also beca important factors in the destruction of the Demon Spirit race after the Demon Spirit Empire was destroyed."
"The Evil God destroyed the Demon Spirit Empire, and those races destroyed the Demon Spirit race. Unfortunately, after those races escaped from the control of the Demon Spirit race, their lives didn't get better; instead, they beca worse, becoming toys and lackeys of the Evil God."
"This is a castle built by the Demon Spirit race; there might still be surviving Demon Spirits here. They are experts in spiritual attacks and control, so be cautious."
"Just because you can't see any enemies doesn't an they don't exist. They might be watching us from sowhere right now!" Chen Qingyun looked up at a certain place, as if seeing the remnants of the Demon Spirit race hiding in the shadows, observing everyone.
Suddenly, Chen Qingyun reacted, hurriedly stepping back a few paces and staring at Lu Yu, saying, "Could you have been controlled by the Demon Spirit race?"
Lu Yu replied speechlessly, "If I were controlled by the Demon Spirit race, why wouldn't I just kill you directly? Why would I be talking to you?"
"Maybe you're trying to extract information from ? You want to infiltrate our group, gather enough info from , and reduce the likelihood of exposing yourself," Chen Qingyun rationally analyzed.
"...", Lu Yu didn't want to speak. He directly executed a move, and before Chen Qingyun could react, Lu Yu grabbed the back of his neck and lifted him up.
"Do you still think I'm being controlled?" Lu Yu asked.
"Ha... haha~" Chen Qingyun's eyes twitched, forcing out a difficult smile as he weakly said, "I was just joking, don't take it seriously."
Lu Yu released his grip on his neck, and Chen Qingyun stumbled as he landed on the ground, almost falling.
He reached up to rub his neck where Lu Yu had grabbed, his heart full of shock, realizing that Lu Yu's strength was so formidable that he had no chance to retaliate.
But this also indirectly proved that Lu Yu wasn't under the control of the Demon Spirit race.
If the Demon Spirit race could easily control soone as powerful as Lu Yu, controlling him would be a piece of cake, and there'd be no need to pump him for information.
Only now did he rember his instinctive reaction when he had attacked Lu Yu earlier, with Lu Yu casually evading it, and his sword being pinched between two fingers.
Thinking back, Lu Yu's strength was truly unfathomable.
Lu Yu walked to the wall where Chen Qingyun had been standing earlier, knocked on it, and upon hearing the hollow sound from inside, realized that the other side of the wall was empty.
"Are you trying to open this door?" Lu Yu asked.
Chen Qingyun responded, "Yes, I followed the marks on the ground here, and they stopped at this point; I suspect this is a 'wall' that can be opened."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's heart stirred, "The marks weren't left by you?"
Chen Qingyun looked at Lu Yu, shook his head, and said, "Not ; the marks were already here when I ca in."
"It should be Luo Feng or Sister Qingqing who left them," Chen Qingyun speculated.
