This demonstrates how much they value Lu Yu.

Thinking of Lu Yu, Lu Hongwei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Lu Yu's strength was simply terrifying; he was just a newcomer to the Divine Martial World, yet he could contend with seasoned players like himself.

He now doubted whether he was a match for Lu Yu; during their last clash in reality, Lu Yu had overwhelmed him, and it was only with a mystical artifact that he barely preserved his life.

"Got it. Seal off the surrounding area and prohibit anyone from entering within ten miles," Yang Wu said.

The numerous Yang family members silently flew a distance away, surrounding Lu Yu, and pulled out small banners, placing them in the air.

Lu Yu stood on the roadside, looking up at the crowd without any obstruction. He didn't sense any danger from the small flags, indicating they weren't from an offensive array.

He speculated that they might be a concealing array. After all, he was a disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and the Yang family wouldn't dare openly attack him, so they must make some concealing efforts.

Once all the small flags were deployed, Lu Yu felt the space around him change; it seemed this area was carved out, with outsiders unable to see or enter this space.

Allowing one's opponent to be fully prepared before attacking is foolish behavior; Lu Yu was not idle while they acted.

Upon recognizing the Core Formation Realm expert, Lu Yu swiftly inserted the special item "Black Spirit Power" into the ancestor of the Liang family, who was currently transforming inside his storage ring.

Crack~ The dark green ring on Lu Yu's left hand shattered, releasing a dangerous aura. Seeing this, Lu Yu removed the ring and threw it away.

Bang~ The ring exploded mid-air, and the disheveled Liang family ancestor appeared before Lu Yu, shrouded in black mist. The black mist was not demonic Qi but the soulless power of the black spirit.

The Black Spirit Power seemed to be far more useful than anticipated; it even activated the powers within the demonic heart, further enhancing the ancestor of the Liang family's strength.

Unfortunately, the ancestor's mind was completely destroyed, having become an absolute puppet, unable to act without Lu Yu's command.

Compared to before, its adaptability significantly decreased, but its combat strength drastically increased.

Yang Wu was startled by the sudden appearance of the ancestor of the Liang family; the peculiar aura emanating from him posed a subtle threat.

He quickly noticed that the ancestor's eyes were vacant, and his power was chaotically surging, beyond control, indicating he was merely a puppet.

"Such a waste. This excellent material resulted in such a lousy puppet. If given to me, at least it could have been restored to twenty or thirty percent of its strength when alive," Yang Wu sighed and shook his head.

He was a special artifact refiner, utilizing the bones and flesh of powerful creatures for crafting spiritual artifacts, adept at transforming corpses into puppets.

The people brought by him were all puppets he crafted. Though they appeared unnoticeable externally, in reality, these individuals could only act under his control.

Given Yang Jiawei's cautious nature, not too many people would be informed about this. Lu Hongwei, Zhang Liang, and Li Zhiqing had to accompany Yang Wu, leaving Yang Jiawei with no choice.

However, all the Yang family members were Yang Wu's puppets, minimizing the chances of revealing the plan to eliminate Lu Yu.

Aside from Yang Wu, the others were deceased; the dead do not speak. Moreover, Yang Wu was Yang Jiawei's cousin, a veteran figure of the Yang family, making it impossible for Yang Wu to divulge the secret.

As for the three who accompanied them, Yang Jiawei considered them dead.

Yang Wu would never allow them to return alive, and Yang Jiawei ensured there would be no evidence threatening the Yang family.

"Attack!" At Yang Wu's command, the crowd silently advanced towards Lu Yu, with Yang Wu addressing Zhang Liang and the others, "Leave the puppet to me. You deal with Lu Yu and capture him swiftly to prevent other mishaps."

Hearing this, Zhang Liang nodded, saying, "Alright."

He took the lead and flew towards Lu Yu, followed by Lu Hongwei and Li Zhiqing. Li Zhiqing's spiritual power crafted array patterns continuously in his hands, infusing multiple spiritual formations into the two of them.

Their strength immediately surged, their spiritual power recovery rate accelerated several times, and a protective shield surfaced on their bodies.

Lu Yu observed the approaching Yang family martial cultivators and commanded the mutated ancestor of the Liang family to deal with these enemies.

The black mist surrounding the Liang family ancestor transformed into black tornadoes, striking the enemies.

Whish~ An eerie demonic wind swept in, absorbing all the black tornadoes. Lu Yu looked towards the source of the wind, seeing a blood-red demon fan floating behind Yang Wu.

Pain-stricken human faces occasionally imprinted on the demon fan, with numerous claws reaching out from it, seemingly attempting to escape.

"Hmph!" Yang Wu snorted, gathering all abnormalities within the demon fan more tightly, making them dare not act rashly. Watching the Liang family ancestor below, he smiled, "Though the refining method leaves much to be desired, the material can still be reused. Come on in!"

Yang Wu extended his hand, and the blood-red demon fan behind him unfurled, the blood forming into a red ribbon that enveloped the Liang family ancestor.

The rampant soulless power around the Liang family ancestor constantly destroyed the blood demon fan, changing Yang Wu's expression; he hadn't anticipated a puppet could resist his Blood Refining Demon Fan.
