After sending off the Han family, Lu Yu headed towards Beifeng City with Zhang Fan.

This matter wasn't going to be resolved so easily, and the grudge between him and the Yang family was yet to be settled.

Moreover, after so long, it was time to go to Fu Mingcheng's place to reclaim what was rightfully his.

In the message, Fu Mingcheng had mentioned the matter about him acting as Lu Yu's agent for selling equipment, implying that he couldn't pay the money on time, with the specific reason to be disclosed only when Lu Yu found him.

Zhang Fan followed behind Lu Yu, feeling a bit anxious as he looked at the formidable figure ahead. He really wanted to say: Are we really going straight into Beifeng City? Shouldn't we disguise ourselves a bit?

In the main hall of the Yang family in Beifeng City, Yang Jiawei sat in the rightful seat in the hall. Below him sat those strangers Zhang Fan had mentioned, engaging in lively conversation, occasionally filled with Yang Jiawei's laughter.

"Patriarch, there is something to report," a servant walked into the main hall and kneeled down on one knees and said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Jiawei's expression changed. He nodded and said, "Speak, what is it?"

The person stood up, quickly walked to Yang Jiawei's side, and whispered a few things, transmitting the message through spiritual power so no one else could intercept it.

After speaking, the person exited the main hall, leaving behind the traces of a smile on Yang Jiawei's face disappear as he looked at those seated below and said.

"Lu Yu appeared in Windmill Town and rescued the Han family. He is on his way to Beifeng City now."

The three people below smiled at these words, but then realized it wasn't the right time to smile, so they hid their smiles. One person said, "Patriarch Yang, there's no time to lose. We should take action now."

"After all, capturing the Han family was just a ruse to force Lu Yu to come forward. Now that Lu Yu has shown himself, it doesn't matter whether we have the Han family or not."

Yang Jiawei nodded; apart from the Han family, there were a few others on their list, including Yu Xiaoman from Beifeng Academy, Han Feng, Han Yun, Fu Mingcheng from Jianghu Tong...

These are all people related to Lu Yu. The Yang family intended to control everyone connected to Lu Yu to force his emergence.

It's a pity that it was difficult to move against students from Beifeng Academy, and Fu Mingcheng of Jianghu Tong had information intelligence that was exceptional, hiding away at the first instance.

Decimating the Han family also partly served as a means to force Han Feng and Han Yun out.

Unexpectedly, before they had the hostages, the target appeared himself, making the remaining tasks simpler: gather forces and capture Lu Yu directly.

The Yang family quickly mobilized personnel, and those cooperating with them also followed, led by a Yang family Martial Cultivator, heading in the direction where Lu Yu was.

Lu Yu walked on the official path, showing no intention of concealing his tracks. He eagerly awaited the arrival of the Yang family.

To ensure capturing Lu Yu without any accident and without leaking any information, the Yang family dispatched only their internal trusted personnel.

These were elite soldiers and generals, seeking elite rather than quantity, led by an elder from the Yang family in the Core Formation Realm.

With a Core Formation Realm expert in command, the Yang family wasn't afraid of Lu Yu causing any disturbance; the elder's role was more to cover up combat fluctuations and discreetly capture Lu Yu alive back to the Yang family.

After all, regardless of the circumstances, Lu Yu was a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and the Yang family couldn't openly strike against him.

At essence, it was about profit over risk; Yang Jiawei hated Lu Yu, wanted to kill him to avenge Yang Xiu, and also coveted Lu Yu's Demon-Breaking Saber and the Earth Spirit Pearl.

The Demon-Breaking Saber was a weapon used by Core Formation Realm experts; although it wasn't like divine soldiers, it wasn't far off.

The Earth Spirit Pearl was even more precious; obtaining it might give the Yang family two or three more Core Formation Realm experts.

Not needing three, just two more Core Formation level experts would be enough for the Yang family to challenge the Ling family and redefine the first family in Beifeng City.

In the current generation of the Ling family, only Ling Yuyan had hopes of breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, while others couldn't expect breakthroughs even over ten or twenty years.

With the Yang family suddenly having two more Core Formation level experts, they would be enough to impact the Ling family's first family status.

For individuals, killing Lu Yu would allow Yang Jiawei to vent his hatred; for the family, killing Lu Yu would allow the Yang family to advance further towards becoming the premier family in Beifeng City.

Under any circumstances, the Yang family wouldn't let go of this opportunity, even if it meant risking offending the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

The Yang family had investigated and discovered that Lu Yu didn't have any powerful backers within the Divine Weapon Pavilion and wasn't particularly well-known, with barely any high-level attention on him.

Yang Jiawei believed that as long as the matter was well concealed, even if the Divine Weapon Pavilion realized Lu Yu disappeared, they wouldn't go to great lengths to investigate.

"Zhang Liang, they want us to bring Lu Yu back. Judging by the Yang family's stance, they wouldn't be willing to let us take him," Lu Hongwei transmitted with spiritual power.

Zhang Liang was silent for a moment, transmitting back with spiritual power, "Play it by ear, but if it doesn't work, let the Yang family capture him first, and we'll negotiate with them later."

"Yang Jiawei only wants to kill Lu Yu to vent his grievances. He values interest more over emotion, so as long as we offer enough profit, he will let us have him."

"If it really doesn't work, we'll let the Executioner intervene."

Gradually, Zhang Liang's voice became softer, and Lu Hongwei mindfully thought: "It's the only way."

He hadn't expected that under such circumstances, Lu Yu would still be able to survive.

Upon learning that Lu Yu hadn't died and had appeared in the Divine Martial World, the founder of Iron Tomb was very interested in this situation. Having never appeared before, the founder personally came out to issue orders to the members of Iron Tomb.
