Chapter 1112: Chapter 18: I’ll Blow You All Away_2
“Be good, go to sleep.” Yan Yu gently stroked her thick black hair, which felt incredibly smooth and comfortable.
Only then did Lin Ning close her eyes reluctantly and gradually drift off to sleep.
Back in the bathroom, Yan Yu washed away the sweat and gri from his body and let out a long breath of foul air as he began using Runescript True Essence to heal himself.
Although he finally won, Yan Yu had to admit that this was the toughest battle he had ever fought.
Because both Yun Jin and Ningning had been plotting for a long ti.
If a dam hasn’t been opened for too long, the water level will approach the danger line; the sa logic applies to people.
Luckily, my skills are superior!
Yan Yu erged in a robe to find that five additional people had appeared in the room at so unknown point.
Arrogant and aloof, Zhao Yuanzhen sat at the edge of the bed, chatting casually with the exhausted Su Yunjin.
The fierce and mighty Zhou Hongyu stood with arms crossed, silently watching Yan Yu with a blank expression.
The sowhat bored Anna was perched on the armchair by the desk, swinging back and forth continuously.
Then there was Xie Ruoxi and Tang Xiaolian, standing to the left and right of the door like two humble lackeys guarding the gate for the bosses.
Yan Yu imdiately steadied his spirit, realizing this peril could not easily be avoided.
My limit is one against four. Now, in an imperfect state, I have to face five people; how can I win? How could I win?
But I will not retreat!
In my previous life as a Mortal Warrior, even with a fragile mortal body, I could still face those cultivators of imnse power with sword in hand without flinching!
Now, as a Cultivator, my physical qualities are enhanced tenfold or a hundredfold compared to before. If I were to shrink back now, I might as well bash my head against the wall here and leave the opportunity of rebirth to soone more ambitious!
“Hmph.” Yan Yu grabbed his robe with his right hand, facing the five formidable foes who were either sitting or standing, his eyes already burning with fiery resolve, “Did you gather in my room to bully with numbers?”
“Look who’s talking,” Zhao Yuanzhen replied inexplicably, “You’re the only man in this villa; whatever we do isn’t it naturally bullying you with numbers?”
“Shut your mouth!” Yan Yu retorted, “If it’s a fight you want, then let’s fight, there’s no need to whitewash your actions! Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”
Everyone fell silent at his words, thinking we never even ntioned what to do, why are you getting heated alone?
Suddenly, Anna began to laugh, her interest piqued by Yan Yu’s act, and she purposely adopted a voice to match a classic villain pose, coldly laughing and saying:
“The more you bluff, the more you reveal your inner fears and panic. I’ve only ever heard of an ox being worked to death, but who has ever seen a field go bad from being plowed? Even if your skills are great, with our numbers taking shifts, just wearing you down will kill you!”
“Yan Yu! You ca in upright, but you’re destined to leave flat!”
“Ridiculous!” Yan Yu countered, “A bunch of defeated losers, how dare you be so shalessly boastful? Anna, let ask you, who was it that hung on the rehearsal room’s railing, crying, ‘Spare ’?”
Anna’s face instantly turned pale.
“Hongyu, don’t laugh either! I ask you,” seeing Zhou Hongyu still sneering, Yan Yu turned his salvo, “Who was it last ti that begged to take a little break, secretly texting Tang Xiaolian to take over?”
Zhou Hongyu’s face imdiately turned ashen.
“And you!” Yan Yu turned to look at Zhao Yuanzhen, “Who was it last ti that confidently claid they’d crush with a huge score, yet lost three tis within the first half-hour?”
“I… I wasn’t in good shape then!” Zhao Yuanzhen, like a dog whose tail was stepped on, instantly jumped up from the bed, “Is there any point in saying all this! Bullying when I’m down and proud of it! I already admitted defeat and you’re still taking advantage of it!”
Ignoring her feeble self-justifications, Yan Yu turned to the shrinking Tang Xiaolian and Xie Ruoxi, coldly saying:
“One of you can be heard downstairs and the other surrenders before even starting, and you two weaklings dare get involved in this commotion!”
The girls all looked deeply embarrassed, until suddenly they all spoke in unison:
“All that talk, are we competing or not?!”
“Compete!” Yan Yu forcefully tore off his robe and threw it on the ground, “You group of won, don’t waste my ti, co at all at once!”
“Watch scatter all of you!”

The sounds from upstairs resembled a house being torn apart. In the downstairs living room, Ye Jun and Li Minghu were savoring coffee made by Chen Lingyun.
“Not joining them up there?” Chen Lingyun asked with a smile.
“No, I don’t like crowded places.” Li Minghu shook his head.
“Yan Yu probably wouldn’t want us to join anyway.” Ye Jun winked.
The three exchanged glances and then broke into hearty laughter.
“I find it rather leisurely here,” Li Minghu remarked, “Ah Jiang gets deployed once or twice a week on average, yet we might get a task only every half-month, only Ye Jun is more occupied due to research work.”
“Care to guess why that is?” Chen Lingyun suddenly asked.
“Isn’t it because of Yan Yu?” Ye Jun asked curiously.
“Could it be because…” Li Minghu pondered, motioning with his arm like a serpent.
“Mmm hmm.” Chen Lingyun nodded in confirmation.
Currently, the Golden Core True Man’s tasks mostly involve tackling high-difficulty Mysterious Realms, where the opponents are all at the Golden Core Stage, making it too dangerous for Foundation Establishnt Realm cultivators to overreach, so only Golden Core True n can be sent.
But if trapped within a Mysterious Realm, and unable to exit temporarily, if the Lu Country suddenly decides to strike at an external serpent, the Golden Core True Man wouldn’t be able to respond in ti.
“Which serpent do they plan to target?” Ye Jun asked curiously.
“For now, there’s no specific target, they’re just preserving the capability for now,” Chen Lingyun said thoughtfully, “To consider the ultimate scenario… all of them.”
“All of them?” The two were shocked.
“Yes, all of them.” Chen Lingyun nodded, “The idea is to establish a community of shared destiny for humanity. If we annihilate all the Orochi in one go, the deterrence and prestige established should be sufficient.”
“But we’ll need the Purple Cloud Formation to break through the external barrier of the serpents first,” Ye Jun mused, “Without destroying the external barrier, we can’t even get close to the serpents, let alone kill them.”
“But we can’t set up Purple Cloud Formation nodes globally,” Li Minghu interjected instinctively, “Since no foreign nation will let our national defense be handed over to our country…”
“Is it really impossible?” Chen Lingyun suddenly challenged.
Li Minghu and Ye Jun pondered in silence.
Is it really impossible? In history, the Sun Never Sets Empire had colonies everywhere globally; later with hegemonic transitions, it was Miti’s turn holding bases all over the world.
If the future continues with these transitions, who’s to say Lu Country won’t be next, establishing its Purple Cloud Formation nodes everywhere?
During the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, people found it hard to imagine a unified state where royal power could reach directly from the central governnt to counties. But historical trends often start small, and when Qin State carried the montum to devour six states starting from Han Valley Pass, so things could indeed be anticipated.
Now, the strength gap between Lu Country and other nations is magnified countless tis more than what Qin State had over the six states then.
“Hang on.” Ye Jun suddenly asked in surprise, “Ling Yun, does your Yin Departnt oversee just the deaths in Lu Country or globally?”
“For now, only Lu Country,” Chen Lingyun replied significantly.
For now… aning there’s a possibility of extending globally in the future?
Ye Jun and Li Minghu exchanged a look, thinking if one day humanity alive are within the Purple Cloud Formation range, and after death fall under Chen Lingyun’s Underworld Yin Departnt, doesn’t this an control from life to death?
No, it should be said… is there a deeper unity overriding national sovereignty, racial differences, and individual domination? Whether this future will be good or bad is hard to predict.
But one thing is certain… being part of the Lu Country now is the luckiest thing in their lives.
