Chapter 437 The Secret of the Night Owl

Since the auction had just ended, most of the guests on Shengyun Mountain had not yet dispersed. They had spent a hundred spirit stones to finally go to the floating island, so they naturally could not leave so easily. They had to have fun first.

But they did not expect that when they were having fun, the whole Shengyun Mountain suddenly shook violently. For a while, everyone was unstable and looked for a fulcrum to rely on before they could barely stabilize their body.

No one knew what had happened. In the scope of Shengyun Mountain, they could not use Taoism and had no means of self-protection. Suddenly encountering such a situation, they were inevitably panicked and fled everywhere to survive. The order of the whole Shengyun Mountain was in chaos.

The sea market under the floating island was not much better. The waves surged again, and all the ships were bumping up and down. The originally calm and peaceful market suddenly became the most dangerous sea area.

People opened their sails and drove their ships, preparing to escape from the unknown situation of Shengyun Mountain. However, under the surging waves, countless ships collided with each other, and the entire sea area was like a pot of porridge. How could they leave so easily?

For a moment, there was chaos both on the island and on the ground.

Everyone prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that the elders of Shengyun Mountain would show up quickly to rescue them and help them escape from this dangerous situation.

But how could the elders of Shengyun Mountain have time to pay attention to everyone's calls for help?

On the top floor of the attic of the Elders' Council, four original crystal cores on Lu Yu's fingertips spun and danced, and the huge pressure formed was like a black hole, constantly devouring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the formation system.

It was because of the existence of this huge pressure that the entire floating island was affected, making it extremely unstable and almost on the verge of collapse.

As the highest leaders of Shengyun Mountain, the elders naturally have the means to control the barrier formation. Each of them has an elder token, which can directly call on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the formation system to exert power, which is equivalent to the backdoor left by the formation system.

Especially the elder, who has a master token that can directly connect to the core of the entire formation system. This master token has existed since Shengyun Mountain was a large sect and has continued to this day.

At this moment, the elders naturally activated their tokens, hoping to stabilize the entire formation system so that it would not be affected by the original crystal core in Lu Yu's hand.

But when everyone felt desperate, including the elder, all their efforts had no effect. Not only could they not stop Lu Yu from stealing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the formation, but even the tokens in their hands became less effective. Instead, Lu Yu cut off their connection with the formation system.

From the creation of the floating island of Shengyun Mountain to the present, this has never happened in the past ten thousand years. Even their ancestors did not have such a dark and desperate moment when they were being chased by hostile forces and in the most difficult situation.

The Lu Yu in front of him was simply a monster! Who could have imagined that with just his physical body, he could stimulate four original crystal cores at the same time and keep them under his control?

"Grand Elder, have you not considered it yet? Is it worth it?"

As the black light surged, Lu Yu was completely swallowed by the darkness, leaving only a pair of eyes as bright as stars.

"If you haven't considered it yet, then I will make the decision for you, because I will soon lose control!"

Lu Yu said in a tearing voice.

At this time, he was already at the limit of stimulation. If he continued, the stimulation of the original crystal core would be completely out of control, and then everything would be irreversible.

"Stop..."

The Grand Elder finally stopped urging the Saint Cloud Sect Leader's Order and gave up the effort to seize control of the formation system.

He understood that he had completely failed this time.

Although he didn't know whether what Lu Yu said about being unable to control was true, he knew that if this state continued, the entire formation system of Shengyun Mountain would cause irreversible damage, and everything would be destroyed, so he had to compromise.

"I agree to your conditions!" The elder said with gritted teeth.

The black light quickly faded, and Lu Yu's figure reappeared. The original crystal core on his fingertips gradually stopped rotating and slowly fell back into his palm.

The ground under his feet finally stopped shaking, and the world became clear again. Everything returned to its original state, as if the horrible scene just now had never happened.

But the violent panting of more than a dozen elders in the room, like cows, fully proved that the scene just now was not an illusion.

Lu Yu was also panting: "The elder should have done this long ago! Why make everyone so hard?"

In the whole audience, the only one who was calm was Yang Chudie, because from beginning to end, she had been hiding behind Lu Yu and watching quietly, without spending any extra energy at all.

At this time, she came up from behind Lu Yu and said, "Grand Elder, please speak!"

The elder snorted heavily: "Since you are so eager to die, I will tell you the identity of that person, what's the harm!" Then he turned to the other elders and ordered: "You go out first."

The real people looked at each other, did not speak, and left the scene in silence.

Lu Yu and Yang Chudie could not help but look at each other, secretly thinking that the secret behind this was indeed not simple. The elder had to send his men away before he was willing to reveal the identity of that person.

Only three people were left in the room.

Lu Yu and Yang Chudie sat back in their seats, waiting for the elder to say the next words.

"Have you heard of the name 'Night Owl'?" The elder suddenly asked.

"Night Owl?"

Lu Yu and Yang Chudie could not help but be at a loss.

"I guess you haven't heard of it!" The elder continued, "This is an underground organization active outside the eight major sects, specializing in assassination activities, with fierce means and daring, even real strong men are often their targets!"

"Although undertaking assassination missions is their main business, if the main business is not doing well, they will join the ranks of looting. As long as there is an opportunity, they will take action, kill people and steal treasures, and destroy the bodies."

"Because their hands and feet are clean enough, no one has known about their existence. I only know that such an organization exists because they occasionally need to sell stolen goods and take the initiative to come to the door."

"So, I really don't know the identity of the person who sold the Xuanling magic weapon, I just know that he is from the 'Night Owl' organization!"

Lu Yu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it.

It turns out that Die Shuangfei was stranded like this!

No wonder the Great Elder refused to tell the truth, because this would expose the secret that Shengyunshan sold stolen goods for others. If the news leaked out, Shengyunshan would not only lose its reputation, but also anger various forces and bring endless disasters!

However, at this moment, Lu Yu did not care to condemn Shengyunshan's shady activities behind the scenes. Instead, another thing made him feel more terrified.

Since Die Shuangfei ended up here, could it be that Yudie Zhenren was ambushed by Yexiao and met with an accident?
