After Ye Qiu greeted Li Yu, Li Yu could tell that he was troubled.

“What’s wrong? Did something happen at home? If you don’t have enough money for your school fees, you can owe me first. You only need to write an IOU!” Li Yu said with a smile.

“Senior Brother, no, Master Li, I’m sorry. I might not be able to enter Qingyun Sect for the time being!” Ye Qiu said with a guilty look.

“What’s the matter?” Li Yu’s heart tightened, and he thought to himself that he could not let this big fish slip.

“I’m going to the north to join the army!” Ye Qiu said after a moment of silence before he told Li Yu the truth about the northern war.

However, he still could not bring himself to open his mouth and request Li Yu’s help. After all, Li Yu did not have such an obligation.

Li Yu felt helpless after hearing Ye Qiu’s explanation. Ye Qiu had no choice as he was born into a family of generals. It only took one decree from the Emperor, and Ye Qiu had to serve in the army in his father’s place.

It was a pity that he had finally managed to get a talented junior brother who was about to become cannon fodder on the battlefield.

However, everyone had their own fate. He could not force Ye Qiu, so he could only respect his choice.

“Since you called me Senior Brother, then I’m already your Senior Brother. I’ll wait for you to return triumphantly from the sect. If you still want to become our disciple then, my Qingyun Sect will welcome you anytime!” Li Yu patted Ye Qiu’s shoulder.

“Right, if I can come back alive this time, I will definitely return to join the sect!” Ye Qiu cupped his hands. “Senior Brother, it’s getting late. I shall take my leave. I’m leaving early tomorrow morning to rush to the front line of the Mo Prefecture!”

“Alright, then I’ll congratulate Junior Brother on your victory and triumphant return in advance!” Li Yu cupped his hands.

Ye Qiu cupped his hands and did not say anything else.

He jumped back onto the back of the flying spirit beast, waved goodbye to Li Yu, and flew in the direction he had come from.

Li Yu looked at Ye Qiu’s back view and could not help but shake his head regretfully. “Sigh, changes run faster than plans. I thought Ye Qiu is bringing the hefty sum of payment over. This way, I can save up more spirit stones!”

At night, a figure in a black robe with strange patterns embroidered flew over from afar in silence.

However, just as he reached the temple, which was only left with a hall, Li Yu’s figure appeared out of thin air as he stood in front of him.

“Who are you?” Li Yu asked coldly.

From the way this person was dressed, he did not seem to be a good person.

“Ghost Walk, Netherworld Demon Sect!” The man introduced himself. After all, he was not here to assassinate, so there was no need to hide his identity.

The Netherworld Demon Sect! Li Yu’s brows suddenly knit together because the fiend sects had finally made a move.

“Are you here to kill me?” Li Yu asked calmly.

“No, your father is currently a guest in our Netherworld Demon Sect. Our Sect Master is a hospitable person, and he would like to invite you over. Oh yes, before you go, you must bring the baby divine bird and the Heavenly Spirit Pill with you!” Ghost Walk said eccentrically.

Bang!

A terrifying killing aura instantly erupted from Li Yu’s body, scaring Ghost Walk to the point his expression changed.

However, before he could react, he realized that a hand seemed to have reached out from the void and grabbed his neck.

At the same time, Li Yu’s murderous face appeared in his field of vision.

“Netherworld Demon Sect must be tired of existing. And you dare capture my father!” Killing intent and rage rarely seen surfaced in Li Yu’s eyes.

If the Netherworld Demon Sect came for him, he would not be angry at all. He would treat it as killing monsters to level up and farm for equipment.

However, using his father as a hostage and threatening his family’s safety had touched his bottom line.

Having his throat locked by Li Yu, Ghost Walk was scared out of his wits as cold sweat broke out on his back.

He never imagined such terrifying strength from Li Yu.

He did not even manage to see how Li Yu had arrived in front of him earlier.

Especially when he sensed the terrifying aura that he emitted, he felt that Li Yu was even more terrifying than their sect master.
