In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen assassins dressed in black battle suits, all of whom possessed auras at the high- Star Level, had arrived in front of Lu Qingshan.
The leader was a Spirit Reader, standing on a cylindrical black weapon. His gaze fell on Lu Qingshan's unharmed chest, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
Obviously...
He already knew that Dongfang Yuechu was injured, and seriously so. But the other party was acting as if he wasn't injured at all.
Lu Qingshan was somewhat surprised to see these assassins.
"What a coincidence."
From Dongfang Yuechu's memories, Lu Qingshan knew that these people were the assassins who had previously hunted him down.
The wound on his chest was caused by the attack from that Spirit Reader.
His arm was also severed by one of the warriors' War Blade. He desperately escaped the encirclement, but unexpectedly, he was still found.
At that moment, the leading Spirit Reader spoke.
" Dongfang Yuechu, you do have some skills. You managed to heal yourself from such severe injuries. It seems you're hiding quite a few good things on you..."
A glint of greed flashed in his eyes. Treasures that could heal injuries were common on Yanhuang Star, but a treasure that could quickly restore a near-death Star Level martial artist to normal was extremely precious. He just didn't know if the other party had any.
He regretted his carelessness in letting the other party escape; otherwise, the treasure would surely have fallen into his hands. Whether it's still there or not is another matter!
Regardless of any additional benefits, Dongfang Yuechu is certain to die. They made their move today with no intention of letting this thirteenth young master return alive.
Lu Qingshan glanced at him and asked, "Are you from the Dongfang Clan or the Huangfu Clan?"
The Huangfu Clan is the maternal family of the current First Madam, and one of the three major families on Yanhuang Star. In terms of power and status, it is no less than the Dongfang Clan.
The three families have a complex relationship, involving marriage alliances, conflicts, external cooperation, and internal competition.
"Heh, Dongfang Yuechu, is this question really that important?" His gaze was icy. "Just focus on your journey."
"That's true."
Lu Qingshan nodded in agreement. "In that case, let's not waste any more time!"
"What a show-off! Kill him!"
With a wave of his hand, the Spirit Reader summoned more than a dozen Star Level assassins who pounced on him.
Lu Qingshan merely blinked slightly. A beam of earthy yellow light emanated from his robes, forming a faint barrier that instantly spread towards the people in front of him.
The moment the earthy yellow light touched the assassins.
Puff puff puff...
Blood spurted out, and all the assassins froze completely. They remained in their attacking stances, but were utterly unable to move.
Moments later, their life force completely withered, their bodies began to shatter, turning into a grayish-brown powder that vanished completely with a gust of wind.
More than a dozen assassins died instantly, and their deaths were incredibly bizarre, leaving the leader of the Spirit Reader completely dumbfounded.
He stared at the scene before him in disbelief, thinking he was hallucinating.
"Who... who are you? What kind of illusion is this?"
The Spirit Reader spoke in fear.
He had never witnessed such a terrifying scene. Even for Universe Level powerhouse, annihilating these assassins wouldn't be so easy.
Moreover, when Dongfang Yuechu was besieged before, he was weak and barely escaped a pursuit. He doesn't have such skills!
"Illusion? Just treat it as an illusion." A subtle glint flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
The assassin leader froze instantly, and after a moment, his expression became extremely respectful.
"Owner..."
He spoke cautiously.
"Speak! Who are you people? Why are you here to kill me?"
Lu Qingshan asked.
"Master, we assassins were all trained by the Huangfu Clan. It was Huangfu Yushu who ordered us to assassinate you!"
" Huangfu Yushu..."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
This was the legitimate wife of the original owner's cheap father, just as he had expected.
" The Huangfu Clan assassinated a member of our Dongfang Clan. Aren't they afraid of being discovered?"
" Huangfu Yushu said that the head of the Dongfang Clan doesn't care about the master. Even if she kills you, no one will care, and even if it's discovered, she'll take responsibility for the consequences." "Hmm."
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
He looked at the assassin and said, "Go back now, kill Huangfu Yushu, and then commit suicide!"
"Yes, Master."
The Spirit Reader had been enslaved and naturally obeyed Lu Qingshan's orders completely.
"That Huangfu Yushu is of high status. Even if you can get close to her, killing her won't be easy... Where is your weapon?"
Lu Qingshan asked.
The Spirit Reader quickly took out the black stick.
" Tier 3 Force Weapon, the Heaven-Blasting Staff..."
Lu Qingshan raised his hand and pointed, and a golden light merged into the Heaven-Blasting Staff.
Then he waved his hand. "Go, as long as your weapon can touch her, she will surely die."
"Yes, Master." The assassin leader bowed respectfully, then turned and left...
Although this mission was practically a death sentence, he felt no fear; his only worry was that he wouldn't be able to complete it.
After the assassin in black left, Lu Qingshan dusted himself off, turned around, and walked towards the direction of the Yanhuang Academy that he remembered.
To uncover the secrets of this Universe Ocean dimension, one must ascend to higher levels. Although the starting point of the Yanhuang Academy is low, it can serve as a good stepping stone.
Only by acquiring resources can his strength be rapidly increased; otherwise, accumulating resources at the Star Level would require a very long time.
Even a reincarnated God King needs to cultivate again to regain his strength. Lu Qingshan is merely a wisp of consciousness possessed; the essence of this life does not actually belong to him. Even though his Law Comprehension is already heaven-defying, he cannot ascend to the heavens in one step.
However, with enough resources, he can break through to the Universe Master, or even True God, at the fastest speed...
Even if he breaks through to the level of True God, it will not have any impact on his original self or his Clone.
Yanhuang Star wasn't large; half an hour later, he returned to the majestic academy perched atop the mountain.
He walked straight through the school gate and headed towards the administration building, following the direction he remembered.
Along the way, he encountered several teachers and students who couldn't help but look at him with surprise upon seeing his current appearance, but no one came up to ask him anything.
On the ninth floor of the administration building, a staff member was organizing documents when Lu Qingshan pushed open the door and entered. He looked up and asked, " Dongfang Yuechu, what are you doing here so late?" "I want to apply to challenge the Tower of Civilization!"
The staff member was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise, " The Tower of Civilization? You've only been enrolled for a month. Are you sure you want to apply now?"
"Sure!"
Lu Qingshan nodded.
"According to the rules, students can indeed apply for three challenge opportunities during their studies at the academy." The staff member looked up, seemingly to confirm, and said, "However, are you sure you want to use such a precious challenge opportunity now? Do you understand the difficulty of the Tower of Civilization? In previous years, students have generally only taken on the challenge when they were about to graduate. Even so, in a hundred years, perhaps not a single student has been able to pass the first level of the Tower of Civilization."
"I've looked into everything, now help me apply."
Lu Qingshan stated definitively.
Seeing his insistence, the staff member didn't try to persuade him further. He looked down and operated an electronic device for a moment, then said, "I've already registered you. You can start the challenge first thing Tianyi morning. Get some rest tonight and get back into shape."
Thank you.
Lu Qingshan nodded and turned to leave.
Although he was not highly regarded, Dongfang Yuechu was, after all, from the Dongfang Clan and had his own separate residence at the academy. Back in his resting place, Lu Qingshan slowly closed his eyes.
Although he barely used his Origin Force in today's battle, relying mainly on the laws, his frail body still limited his performance... Lu Qingshan opened a book.
This is a simple popular science article about the universe that the original owner bought from a street stall.
" Universe Starry Sky Alliance."
" Universe Behemoth Alliance."
" Universe Zerg Civilization."
Their Yanhuang Star, including human civilization and countless races, all belong to the Universe Starry Sky Alliance, a very powerful force in the universe.
Joining is extremely difficult, with very strict requirements, one of which is challenging the Tower of Civilization.
Once Star Level being can pass through one level of the Tower of Civilization, they can join the Universe Starry Sky Alliance, become a formal citizen of the Universe Starry Sky Alliance, obtain countless benefits, and enjoy an extremely high status!
As for the conditions for joining at the Universe Level and Domain Lord Level, Lu Qingshan was not clear about them, nor were they explained in the book.
Lu Qingshan's gaze fell on the names of the three major powers in the universe.
Even the names are so symmetrical, it seems that this Primal Universe has a high probability of being possessed... He thought of the enormous Small Universe he saw after opening the World Break passage, which was second only to the Primal Universe, and that was probably Small Universe at the God King Level.
This Universe Ocean dimension is far more complex and far more complicated than the Universe Ocean dimension he was in, or the Black Butcher Universe Ocean dimension.
Meanwhile, in a quiet and elegant attic of the Dongfang Clan.
Huangfu Yushu sat in a spacious chair, rubbing a string of prayer beads in his hands, his gaze kind and gentle, like a benevolent person.
In the living room, a steward stood trembling to one side.
After a long while, Huangfu Yushu finally opened his eyes and said, "That little bastard... he's still alive?"
"Yes, he is indeed still alive. Our family's informants at the academy saw him return with their own eyes," the butler quickly replied.
"Useless! You can't even handle this small matter. If we don't kill him today, it will surely arouse his suspicion. If he hides in the academy in the future, how will we make our move?"
A ruthless glint flashed in Huangfu Yushu's eyes.
"That bastard is really lucky... His mother was poisoned, but she still managed to give birth to him and even inherited some of the master's cultivation talent."
The butler quickly chimed in, "However, he can't always be so lucky. He can't hide in the academy forever. Next time, I'll personally take action and make sure he doesn't survive." "Hmm, I'll leave this to you. I don't want that bastard to return to the Dongfang Clan. Otherwise..."
"Madam... don't worry, I will..." The butler nodded hurriedly. Suddenly, he took out a communication device, glanced at it, and said, " Huangfu Qi has returned. He said he has something important to report to you, Madam."
"He can't even handle such a small matter. I'd like to see what important thing he has to do!"
Huangfu Yushu snorted coldly.
"Let him in!"
