“Golden Cicada Gu?”
Hearing the name, King Feihu narrowed his eyes.
“I’m not clear about this matter either. You’ll have to investigate it yourself. However, if King Xuanwu is truly related to the Guo family, then it will be even harder to move against the Guo family!”
King Feihu said calmly.
“Mm.”
Lu Yang nodded.
“King Feihu, take care. I’ll take my leave now. Cheng Xiaoyun is left to you!”
Lu Yang left Cheng Xiaoyun behind and then led his men away from King Feihu’s villa.
“Boss, what do we do now?”
Outside King Feihu’s villa, Jian Fengbo looked at Lu Yang and asked.
“Hold our ground, wait for the Guo family to make a move, and then capture the people from the state to exchange for Cheng Wanyun!”
Lu Yang said to Jian Fengbo.
“Understood!”
Jian Fengbo agreed immediately.
“Let’s go, find a place to improve your cultivation!”
Lu Yang looked at his subordinates. Although there were four of them now, their cultivation was still very low. The highest was only a Minor Grandmaster of Martial Arts, not even reaching the Grandmaster of Martial Arts realm.
Lu Yang still had many spirit pills in his possession, and he could use them to improve the cultivation of the four of them.
Soon, Lu Yang found a secluded spot, gathered all the necessary spirit herbs, and prepared to have them cultivate and improve their cultivation.
Soon, they entered a state of meditation and began to cultivate, raising their cultivation. When Lu Yang saw that the time was right, he handed the spirit pills to them and had them swallow them all. Each of them held two spirit pills, and they were extremely excited, immediately swallowing all the spirit pills.
Instantly, a surge of spiritual energy flowed wildly within their bodies, filling their limbs and bones. Seeing that the time was right, Lu Yang continuously patted their backs forcefully, dispersing the spiritual energy within their bodies step by step. Otherwise, with their physical capacity, they could not withstand the influx of two spirit pills simultaneously. However, with Lu Yang’s forceful patting, all the spiritual energy was dispersed and nourished their bodies.
Half an hour later, their bodies had absorbed all the spiritual energy, and they all began to break through.
Instantly, golden light emanated from their bodies, illuminating the entire room as if it were daytime. The golden light flickered, looking very magnificent.
“I didn’t expect their breakthroughs to be like this. I don’t think I broke through like this back then!”
Lu Yang cultivated the Eighteen Styles of the Black Dragon. His breakthrough seemed to be direct, without any flashy golden light displays.
An hour later, everyone had advanced by a level. Da Arno and Jian Fengbo had raised their cultivation to the realm of Grandmaster of Martial Arts, while Xiao Zongshi and Mondoyasia had also become Minor Grandmasters of Martial Arts.
“Congratulations on your breakthrough. However, the situation we are facing now is even more severe and challenging, so everyone needs to work together. Mondoyasia, you are a sharpshooter. You will be responsible for providing cover fire from our rear!”
“Da Arno and Jian Fengbo will charge forward with me to capture the Guo family members as quickly as possible, so we will have leverage!”
“Yes!”
Everyone agreed in unison.
“Let’s go!”
Lu Yang nodded and led everyone into Yan Jing City. They hid about ten kilometers away from the Guo family villa, as the Guo family had a powerhouse in the Divine Realm. Within a ten-kilometer radius, they could easily be detected by the Guo family’s strong individuals. Therefore, Lu Yang was extremely cautious this time to avoid alerting them.
At this moment, inside the Guo family villa, a man was sitting in a grand chair. Although he was over eighty years old, he looked spirited, no different from a middle-aged man in his forties.
This man was the current head of the Guo family, Guo Xiaotian.
Around Guo Xiaotian sat more than a dozen members of the Guo family.
“Patriarch, as per your instructions, the Cheng family has been destroyed, and Cheng Wanyun and her grandmother have been captured. Shall we move against King Feihu next?”
An elder asked Guo Xiaotian directly.
“Do not move against King Feihu for now. The reason we were able to move against the Cheng family this time was that I expended immense effort to fabricate some baseless charges, only then did I get approval from the higher authorities. If we rashly move against King Feihu, the higher authorities will definitely be enraged!”
Guo Xiaotian said calmly.
“Yes!”
Hearing Guo Xiaotian’s words, the elder quickly nodded in agreement.
“By the way, have you gotten any results from interrogating the Ling Que King about the cultivation technique?”
Guo Xiaotian asked another elder beside him.
“Not yet. King Ling Que is quite stubborn. No matter what methods we use, he refuses to reveal the cultivation technique,”
This elder said to Guo Xiaotian.
“Hmph, just a mere King Ling Que. Does he really think that by not speaking, I won’t know how to crack the Cheng family’s cultivation technique?”
“The Cheng family’s cultivation technique is mainly passed down from generation to generation. This time, that old man transferred all the cultivation techniques to his granddaughter. He had already left a mark on his granddaughter. As long as I absorb all the Yin energy from his granddaughter, I can naturally obtain the Cheng family’s cultivation technique.”
Thinking of this, Guo Xiaotian actually revealed a cruel smile.
It must be said that King Ling Que was indeed a great beauty, and Guo Xiaotian had long coveted her. Now that he had such a good opportunity, how could Guo Xiaotian let it pass?
“Everything will be done according to the Patriarch’s decree!”
The elder immediately said.
“Mm, send King Ling Que to my room tonight. I want to cultivate Yin to replenish Yang, hahaha!”
Guo Xiaotian let out a lewd laugh.
“Yes!”
The elder continued.
“Lu Yang’s good deeds, do we have any news now?”
Guo Xiaotian asked another person.
“We just received news that Lu Yang has arrived in Yan Jing, likely wanting to rescue King Ling Que, as they do have some acquaintance,”
This person said directly.
“Haha, he truly fears no death. Since that's the case, this time in Yan Jing, we will kill this brat. This brat has ruined my good deeds time and time again. This time, I not only want to kill Lu Yang, but I also want to obtain the Black Dragon King’s inheritance. As long as I obtain the inheritance of the three families and offer it to that great one, perhaps that great one will allow my strength to reach another level!”
Guo Xiaotian said excitedly.
“Yes!”
This person immediately agreed.
“Alright, you all go and get busy. Keep a close eye on Lu Yang’s movements, and kill him as soon as you find him!”
Guo Xiaotian issued another command.
