Chapter 230: A Joke to Liven up the Atmosphere

Lu Yu sat cross-legged in the dark lake.

He sat on a stone platform. Apart from this stone platform, there was no other place to stand on the entire lake. And this stone platform was only three feet in radius, just enough for him to sit down, and he couldn't even lie down.

The lake water around him exuded a faint blue light, and from time to time there would be subtle lightning bursting out from the water surface, stimulating dazzling arcs of light, which looked full of dangerous atmosphere.

This was not an ordinary lake, but the famous Thunder Pond Formation.

This was the Thunder Pond Purgatory of the Elders' Council, the highest level prison in the entire Dali Sword Sect. After Lu Yu killed Chu Yunhe in Yuanjiang Market, he was directly brought here by three real elders.

Lu Yu had only heard of this place in rumors in the past. It was rumored that the most vicious prisoners were imprisoned here. Unexpectedly, he now also won this honor.

There was no sun in the Thunder Pond, and there was no day or night.

Lu Yu didn't know how much time had passed, and suddenly there was a sharp sound, like the sound of a chain dragging and rubbing.

The next moment, an iron chain flew from the void and connected to the stone platform where he was sitting.

Then, a beautiful figure walked slowly towards him along the iron chain, cautiously, as if walking on thin ice.

"Master, you are finally here!"

Lu Yu smiled with relief.

"I knew that if anyone would come to see me, Master would definitely be the first one!"

Yang Chudie stood on the iron chain and saw that Lu Yu was still in the mood to tease. All her worries and doubts suddenly disappeared, and she raised her eyebrows involuntarily.

"You know so much! Then tell me, is your current appearance also what you expected?"

Lu Yu touched his nose: "This... is indeed not in my plan. I originally thought that I might have a jail disaster, but I didn't expect that this jail disaster would be in the Thunder Pond Purgatory..."

"It turns out that you are self-aware and have already prepared to go to jail!"

Yang Chudie snorted proudly.

"However, it's not just about the prison. Other things are fine, but the key is that your final act of killing Chu Yunhe angered many people..."

"Today's public opinion is very unfavorable to you. Cuizhu Peak has gathered thousands of disciples and blocked outside the Elders' House, demanding that you, the murderer, must be severely punished! Even many real elders who were originally very optimistic about you have changed their attitudes and feel that they can't be too indulgent to you."

"So if you are not careful, if the worst happens, you are likely to be executed on the spot... What do you think about this?"

Lu Yu asked irrelevantly: "What about you, Master? What do you think of my last move? Do you also think I am a vicious person?"

Yang Chudie rolled her eyes at him, her attitude a little awkward: "It doesn't matter what I think, what matters is what the real elders think..."

"No."

Lu Yu shook his head and stared straight into those clear and beautiful eyes.

"It may not be important to others, but it is very important to me!"

Yang Chudie's pretty face turned slightly red, and she was finally stared at by Lu Yu and had no choice but to stamp her feet angrily: "Aren't you asking knowingly? If I had the same opinion as others, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to come here to see you!"

"Tell me what your plan is! You are always cunning, I don't believe you would deliberately put yourself in such a dangerous situation!"

Lu Yu spread his hands and said: "But I just played off the line this time..."

"That's why I said that your attitude is very important to me, but you really didn't let me down, you are so good to me..."

"Why don't we plan how to escape from this thunder pool purgatory?"

Yang Chudie was shocked: "What a joke!"

But the next moment, her attitude softened immediately, and she turned her head to observe the deep lake around her.

"No one has ever successfully escaped from the Thunder Pond Purgatory. If Yudie were here, she would definitely be very interested in this idea..."

"If it were her, what would she do..."

Although Yang Chudie said no, she soon began to consider the feasibility of this matter, and even stretched out her hand to touch the lightning arc bursting out from the lake surface to try out the power of the Thunder Pond array.

This actually scared Lu Yu, and he hurriedly stopped her crazy behavior.

This Thunder Pond array looks quite calm, but once it is triggered, thunder tribulations will roll in all over the sky, so there is a saying that it is difficult to cross the Thunder Pond even half a step!

Now the two of them are standing so close, if the Thunder Pond array is really triggered, Yang Chudie may be able to escape with her high cultivation, but Lu Yu will undoubtedly be unlucky.

"Ahem, ahem! Auntie, why are you so serious? I've just been locked up here for too long and I'm a little bored, so I'm just making a joke to liven up the atmosphere!"

"Really?"

Yang Chudie turned around and smiled.

"I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere."

Lu Yu then realized that she was just pretending to touch the thunder pool, how could she really trigger the thunder pool array easily.

Lu Yu couldn't help but feel ashamed, Master Aunt is Master Aunt, her acting skills made him admit defeat.

"Okay, the visiting time is about to come, so why don't you tell me what your plan is?" Yang Chudie said seriously.

Lu Yu's expression also became serious, and he said: "My biggest trouble now is that I killed a true disciple in front of the three real elders. This act is like betrayal and there is no forgiveness... But what if I didn't kill a true disciple, but a traitor of the Dali Sword Sect?"

Yang Chudie was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Lu Yu's eyes were sharp, and he said decisively: "Chu Yunhe's identity is not simple. He is a true disciple, but he has also betrayed. Didn't Xu Mingshen touch Yudie Peak without a sound at the beginning? It surprised us? Maybe he helped behind the scenes. It might be Chu Yunhe who helped him!"

Yang Chudie was shocked: "Is this... true or false?"

Lu Yu shrugged: "This is absolutely true, not something I made up... In fact, I didn't intend to kill him at first, but at the last moment, I noticed that there was a force in his body that was quite similar to Xu Mingshen, and even had a thousand threads of connection with the Huanli Pearl... So, I had no choice but to kill him."

Yang Chudie was stunned. She didn't expect that there was such a reason behind this matter.

"Why do you have to?" Yang Chudie asked.

Lu Yu said: "Because of the situation at that time, the influence of this force was mutual. If I didn't choose to take action, he would soon react and realize my secret. Chu Yunhe has been dormant in the Dali Sword Sect for many years and has become a true disciple. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind it. In order to avoid a passive situation, I can only choose to take the initiative!"

Yang Chudie nodded and accepted Lu Yu's statement.

Lu Yu killed the opponent with a sword, and the real plotter behind the scenes would think that this was just a fight between the two of them, and would not realize that their tracks might have been exposed.

First, the steward Xu Mingshen betrayed, and now a true disciple Chu Yunhe was involved. What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind all this? Yang Chudie couldn't help thinking about it.

For a moment, she couldn't help but fall silent.

Finally, Lu Yu said: "Master, please help me contact Master Hailing! Tell him that I have news about the traitor and want to meet him privately!"
