A prodigal son of a sect rises to power by blowing up the sect's gate!

"Um...you go back to the mountain first and get some rest. You've worked hard!"

With his back to Zixia, Lu Yu spoke earnestly, then added before leaving, "This sect leader was worried about you and gave you a checkup, you..."

Half the story.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zixia's beautiful eyes widen, and her hand was raised again to slap him.

"Ugh, how rude!"

Lu Yu muttered something to himself, then took off running towards the mountain gate.

Behind.

Zixia kept a straight face and watched Lu Yu until he disappeared.

She turned around, her face showing lingering fear, confusion, and disbelief.

Especially when she recalled Du Hui's disheveled state, she still couldn't figure out how Lu Yu had managed to do it.

"Master, Junior Brother is starting to improve."

Zixia murmured with satisfaction, a beautiful smile appearing on her face, and quickly walked towards the mountain peak.

at the same time.

Lu Yu had already arrived at the foot of the mountain.

After confirming with his divine sense that Du Hui and the others had completely left without leaving any spies behind, he realized that they had left.

"call……"

Lu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the wariness in his eyes did not diminish at all.

Don't be fooled by his victory this time.

Even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator was driven away.

Although the whole process involved gradually gaining the upper hand by taking hits, winning is still a skill in itself.

"Fortunately, Zixia is here tonight. We still need to strengthen the sect as soon as possible!"

After all, he is not alone now; he also has to protect the entire Lieyang Sect.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, then turned and returned to the mountain peak.

soon.

When Lu Yu arrived at the sect's main hall.

"Master!"

Xiao Cui's eyes reddened with worry, and tears welled up instantly. She cried and threw herself into Lu Yu's arms.

"it's okay no problem."

Lu Yu hugged Xiao Cui, letting her arms hang on his body, and even wiped away the tears on her face.

In the main hall.

Cai Xiaokun and Chen Ergou stood to the side.

Cai Xiaokun looked at Lu Yu with admiration, his eyes practically sparkling.

Chen Ergou looked at the distance with a pained expression.

there.

Zixia was holding Nini's hand.

The little girl was also quite frightened tonight, clinging tightly to Zixia's hand and glancing at Chen Ergou every now and then.

"master!"

At that moment, Cai Xiaokun slid in and lunged forward, looking up at Lu Yu.

"Master, you are amazing. I heard from Senior Sister Xiao Cui that even Du Hui, one of the three peak Nascent Soul cultivators in the Northern Territory, couldn't do anything to you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu glanced at Xiao Cui in his arms with surprise.

Think carefully.

I must have yelled too loudly.

When Xiao Cui heard the name Du Hui, she naturally knew that he was the former Second Elder.

"Hey."

Lu Yu shook his head, and Cai Xiaokun's smile immediately vanished, as if he had said something wrong.

"Little Kun, you're too conservative with your words. What do you mean you can't do anything to me? It's just that that old dog ran fast, otherwise I would have killed him right here in the main hall today!"

Cai Xiaokun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but then he immediately gave a thumbs up.

“Master, Kun Kun is indeed too conservative. You are brave and invincible.”

"Ha ha……"

Lu Yu patted Cai Xiaokun's forehead with satisfaction, then put his arm around Xiao Cui and sat down in the main seat.

"We encountered enemies tonight. I believe Xiao Cui has already told you their identities. They were all scum who were previously eliminated by this sect master. They couldn't survive outside the sect, so they became wicked."

"The result was a defeat with deep resentment."

Lu Yu waved his hand and said to Chen Ergou and Cai Xiaokun, "You don't need to worry about these things. Go and rest first. Tomorrow I will guide your cultivation. Just remember one thing: those who can stay in the sect are all elites. Work hard!"

After Lu Yu finished speaking, he didn't forget to point at Cai Xiaokun.

Upon being pointed at by Lu Yu, Cai Xiaokun immediately leaped into the air.

"Master, I am the elite!!"

After saying that, Cai Xiaokun pulled Chen Ergou away.

Chen Ergou hesitated for a moment, then looked at Nini.

Lu Yu gave Zixia a look.

Seeing this, Zixia whispered something to Nini.

Nini immediately ran excitedly towards Chen Ergou.

After the three new disciples from the sects left the main hall.

All that remained were Zixia and Lu Yu, as well as Xiao Cui, who stood shyly behind Lu Yu after wiping away her tears.

"call……"

Lu Yu didn't speak, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and entered the system.

"Host: Lu Yu".

Strength: Peak Core Formation.

Sect: Blazing Sun Sect (Intermediate Sect Prestige: -900*)

Disciples: Nine (Number of members in intermediate sects: 300*)

"Prestige Points: 1215".

"Shop: Now open."

"Technique: Indestructible Vajra (Perfected)"

"Magic artifacts: Azure Cloud Jade Pendant (basic magic artifact, upgradable), Furnace of Fortune (divine artifact/unsealing rate: 1%), Azure Robe (common item/upgradable).

"Ding: Main Quest: Restore the reputation of the Blazing Sun Sect. Quest successful. Reward: Cultivation Technique: Taiqing Profound Technique, Sect Prestige Points: 5000*"

"Ding: Side Quest: Recruit fifty disciples with 'Outstanding' talent within one month (current progress 2/50). Success will reward you with 1000 Prestige Points. Failure will result in a decreasing reward based on the number of disciples recruited, with a minimum of 10 Prestige Points."

Lu Yu glanced at the panel.

He has removed the side quest that previously involved recalling the elder disciples.

After all, what he wanted to build was his own sect.

Moreover, after Du Hui's reign, he had even less hope of recalling his former disciples and elders.

The reputation points aren't much, and the job is frustrating.

At this time.

Lu Yu focused his attention on the prestige points and checked the account statement.

"Over 700 prestige points, looks like that Shamat didn't stay."

Lu Yu felt a little regretful and opened his eyes to look at Zixia.

"Zixia, how many people did you kill?"

aside.

Zixia didn't know what Lu Yu meant by asking this, and answered subconsciously.

“Danggui ran away at the beginning. I saw that she was running downhill, so I didn’t chase after her. As for Shamat…”

Lu Yu frowned and asked, "You held back?"

Zixia nodded without explaining.

After a moment's thought, Lu Yu understood why Zixia had held back.

It's likely that she had prepared for the worst, keeping Shamat alive just in case, intending to use Shamat's life as a trump card in exchange.

"Sigh, you just don't believe me."

Lu Yu's face was filled with heartache and indignation.

Zixia looked at Lu Yu's appearance with some confusion and a sense of grievance, after all, she had meant well.

I don't know.

In Lu Yu's opinion, that Shamat was worth a full three hundred prestige points, which was equivalent to some auxiliary Xuan-level cultivation techniques.

"Never mind, Senior Sister Zixia is just concerned about me; she has a warm heart."

Lu Yu consoled himself and then entered the system again.

More than 1,200 prestige points.

Having gone through the Du Hui incident, Lu Yu is now extremely eager.

It's not just about the development of sects.

However, if a situation like Du Hui's were to occur again, and the opposing force outnumbered them and could not be stopped, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the sect's disciples.

So the choice he faced was either to exchange for sect buildings as soon as possible.

Follow the system's instructions.

The supporting sect buildings, not to mention their complementary functions.

Furthermore, once the nine buildings are completed, they will be able to form a protective array around the mountain.

"A mountain-protecting formation!"

Lu Yu urgently needed this formation.

If there were a formation, even if it couldn't directly defeat the enemy, it could at least protect potential disciples and the future of the sect!

of course.

There is now another option.

Exchange for a few powerful martial arts techniques, at least not the kind of haphazard punches you throw while yelling and smashing!
