Chapter 415 The Second Elder's Scheme
Lu Yu's leadership ability is much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.
He has initially mastered the Ling Shen Ci within three hours, while the others have not even entered the introductory stage yet.
After waking up, he glanced around and found that everyone was still cultivating, so he continued to immerse himself in refining his skills.
After a whole day of training in the Tianji Tower, the trial officially ended.
Before the trial ended, Lu Yu had already mastered the Ling Shen Ci skill proficiently. Ling Tianxin and Su Jin, the two women, had also initially mastered their respective skills.
Only Ding San, a disciple with average leadership ability, had not made any progress yet.
A day later, there was suddenly an intensification of spiritual energy fluctuations in the Tianji Tower.
After feeling the fluctuations of spiritual energy around them, Lu Yu and the others stopped cultivating and looked up into the air.
It seemed that a powerful force was summoning them in mid-air.
Their bodies were forcibly lifted by this force and floated towards a place above the central area of the trial ground.
When they reached mid-air, everyone felt a momentary blur.
When they regained consciousness, they found themselves back at the headquarters of the Greedy Wolf Hall.
"Phew... Finally back."
It was Ding San's voice.
Except for him, the other people actually wished to stay in the Tianji Tower for a while longer.
The spiritual energy inside the Tianji Tower was stable and abundant, and the speed of cultivation inside was much faster than usual.
When they reappeared in the small square of the Greedy Wolf Hall's main altar, the surrounding disciples exclaimed.
"They're out... Look who's out."
"Senior Sister Su Jin, Senior Sister Ling Tianxin is also out... Oh, and Senior Brother Ding San, Senior Brother Lu Yu. Why are there so few people?"
"Yeah, why didn't Senior Brother Cui Tianming come out? And Senior Brother Ji Kun, who had good strength, why did he fall in the Tianji Tower?"
"I remember that there were more than a hundred disciples who went in this time, but now only a few people came out. The casualty rate is too high."
The disciples were all shocked to see Lu Yu and the others come out.
There were too few people who came out!
Previously, when the Greedy Wolf Hall conducted the Tianji trial, at least eighty percent of the disciples would come out.
But this time? The casualty rate was almost ninety-nine percent!
Especially the disciples in the Foundation Building stage, all of them perished without a single survivor!
The remaining few disciples were all strong individuals who were previously determined to be able to advance to the Gold Core stage.
"Everyone's out? You... did well."
Several elders and the Greedy Wolf Hall's hall master were slightly surprised when they saw the few people come out.
After they entered the trial ground, they couldn't see what was happening inside.
So they could only learn about the situation inside through the changes in the Nine Stars.
Now it seemed that Lu Yu and the others were the biggest winners of this trial.
The Grand Elder couldn't hide his smile when he saw Su Jin also coming out.
Su Jin was a new generation disciple that their family had fully cultivated. As long as she was given some resources after reaching the Gold Core stage, she would definitely become a powerful force in the future.
As for Lu Yu and the others, the Grand Elder didn't care much.
But the Second Elder and the Hall Master didn't think the same way.
The personal disciple of the Hall Master, Kong Sheng, was killed by Lu Yu before the trial, and the grandson of the Second Elder, Cui Tianming, should have also died at the hands of Lu Yu.
Can they easily let go of this grudge?
"You all did well this time. The rewards for the Tianji Trial will be given to you later. Rest for now."
"Yes, Elder."
Lu Yu and the others couldn't wait to leave.
His last hope for the Greedy Wolf Hall lies in this Tianji Trial.
To be honest, the rewards offered by the Greedy Wolf Hall for this Tianji Trial are a bit disappointing.
Even if they achieve first place, it's only an Earth Grade treasure. And the quality of the treasure is also questionable.
Even compared to the rewards given by the Greedy Wolf Hall's branch in Gongyue City, it is much worse.
So Lu Yu and the others didn't care about this reward at all.
After bowing to the elders and the Hall Master, they quickly left the small square of the Greedy Wolf Hall.
After they left, the Hall Master, Kong Qianyi, and the Second Elder exchanged glances and nodded.
"Elder, the Tianji Trial is officially over. We old folks can finally take a break. Arrange a celebration for the outstanding disciples tonight."
"Yes, Hall Master."
The Elder nodded. This kind of thing should have been his responsibility, so he didn't think much of it.
After he left with the other elders, the Second Elder quietly left the group and returned to Kong Qianyi's study.
"Hall Master..."
"Second Elder, you've worked hard. Please sit."
Kong Qianyi nodded at him, and the Second Elder sat opposite him.
"Second Elder, this Lu Yu not only killed my beloved disciple, but also killed your grandson. We must seek revenge for this grudge!"
"Yes, he was my favorite grandson. He broke through to the Gold Core realm at such a young age and would have become a hero given time. But unfortunately, he was killed by that damn brat Lu Yu. I will never share the sky with Lu Yu!"
The Second Elder gritted his teeth.
Kong Sheng was just the Hall Master's disciple, but Cui Tianming was his own grandson.
The older generation sending off the younger generation, and to make matters worse, Cui Tianming didn't even leave a body after entering the Tianji Tower!
He couldn't even give him a proper send-off.
"As high-ranking members of the Greedy Wolf Hall, we can't directly take action. Second Elder, do you have any good ideas?"
"Hall Master, I have a poisonous bead here, the most powerful one among the Nine Star Beads. The wine soaked with this bead will be highly poisonous. Anyone who drinks it will bleed from the seven orifices and die within an hour, with no antidote!"
"During the banquet tonight, I will let Lu Yu taste the power of this poisonous bead!"
The Second Elder said through gritted teeth.
Kong Qianyi nodded.
This was why he called the Second Elder over.
For the sake of his own reputation, he couldn't personally take action no matter what.
If the Second Elder's actions were exposed, he could easily distance himself from the matter.
While they were plotting against Lu Yu, Lu Yu had returned home.
"Phew... Finally back. Lu Yu, let me tell you something serious. We probably can't stay in the Greedy Wolf Hall anymore."
"I know that, and I'm afraid they will make a move tonight. We need to be prepared in advance."
Lu Yu nodded.
There is no such thing as a good banquet, even a celebration banquet is the same.
