He Yuzhu returns in Siheyuan

Chapter 713 Where is the person?

Liu Hu knew clearly that he couldn't make decisions on his own at such a critical moment. He Yuzhu was the true master, and he was merely a subordinate, so how could he make decisions easily? So, he hurriedly said respectfully, "Sir, I will obey your orders." His eyes were filled with awe for He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, a faint smile on his face, and then slowly walked over to Li Di. He stared at Li Di with a sharp gaze and asked, "Do you want to lift the seal?" His voice was low, but it seemed to carry an invisible sense of oppression.

Upon hearing this, Li Di was overjoyed, believing that this lord of the Jiaolong clan had indeed agreed to his request. He nodded rapidly and said flatteringly, "Sir, if the seal can be lifted, I will wholeheartedly help you, even if it means going through fire and water!" He sincerely hoped that He Yuzhu would show some leniency.

However, just as he finished speaking, there was a crisp "slap" sound, and He Yuzhu slapped Li Di in the face like a torrential rain. The slap was so powerful that Li Di flew out and fell heavily to the ground.

Li Di was so dizzy from the sudden slap that he didn't recover for a long time. He lay on the ground, his eyes filled with fear and confusion, completely confused about what had happened.

He Yuzhu looked at Li Di who fell to the ground, turned to look at Liu Hu, and shouted angrily: "Bring him here! This ungrateful thing really thinks he is so capable that he wants to lift the seal. Does he want to take the opportunity to run away?" There was a hint of disdain and anger in He Yuzhu's eyes.

Li Di opened his mouth and wanted to say something in defense, but when he saw He Yuzhu's fierce eyes, he swallowed the words back. He was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything.

He Yuzhu naturally wouldn't unseal him easily. He knew that while Li Di might not truly want to escape, he couldn't let his guard down at this critical juncture. Delaying time was the most important thing right now; he couldn't allow Li Di any opportunity to exploit his weakness.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was angry, Liu Hu didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly responded and then carefully brought Li Di over.

He Yuzhu looked at Li Di again and asked coldly, "What do you think? Do you still want to be unblocked now?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Li Di was so frightened that his whole body trembled. He shook his head frantically and stammered, "Sir, I won't dare to do it again... I won't dare to do it again..."

Seeing him like this, He Yuzhu snorted coldly and then set off with Li Di. He knew in his heart that it would take some time to complete the next plan.

After a long journey, He Yuzhu and Li Di arrived at an inn. Liu Hu was unfamiliar with the place, having never been there before. However, Li Di was very familiar with it, as it was where he was captured.

As soon as he entered the inn, Li Di felt something was amiss. He wondered, "I was captured here, so why would He Yuzhu bring me here?" A sense of foreboding washed over him, and he couldn't help but become wary, a hint of panic in his eyes.

Seeing Li Di's sudden silence, He Yuzhu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a playful smile, and said, "What's wrong? Why aren't you talking now? Are you racking your brains to think of a way to escape from me?"

Li Di quickly raised his head, looking anxiously at He Yuzhu, and explained, "Sir, you misunderstood. Look here, this is where we first settled when we arrived in this area. It suddenly occurred to me that the saying 'the darkest place is the darkest' might be true. Perhaps they are hiding in this seemingly unlikely place."

He Yuzhu listened, smiled noncommittally, turned to look at Liu Hu, and instructed: "Liu Hu, take a few people with you, follow him up and take a closer look to see if there are any human cultivators up there."

Liu Hu took the order and immediately followed Li Di up with a few of his men. Not long after, they heard hurried footsteps and saw Liu Hu coming down angrily, grabbing Li Di.

He Yuzhu frowned upon seeing this and asked, "How is it? Is there no one up there?"

Liu Hu's face turned blue with rage. He kicked Li Di several times and shouted, "Sir, we've been fooled! There's no one up there, only a communication jade. This guy is clearly playing tricks on us!"

He Yuzhu's expression darkened instantly. He glared at Li Di and said through gritted teeth, "How dare you lie to me! You're really courting death!"

Li Di was kicked to the ground, with a look of grievance and confusion on his face. He really couldn't understand why the communication jade appeared there inexplicably. He clearly thought he could find the person, and now he didn't know what to say to defend himself.

He Yuzhu was furious. He looked at Liu Hu and shouted, "Teach Li Di a lesson! Let him know the consequences of deceiving me!"

Liu Hu was already furious. After all, if it weren't for Li Di, he wouldn't have come all the way here to cause trouble. Hearing He Yuzhu's order, he showed no mercy, raining punches and kicks on Li Di.

Meanwhile, the situation was developing in a different direction. After He Yuzhu and Liu Hu had emerged, the fourth elder had followed his plan and quietly approached the cell where Elder Qingyi and the others were being held. He glanced around, making sure no one was watching. He then quickly pulled out his tools and expertly unlocked the door holding Elder Qingyi and the others.

The fourth elder walked into the cell, looked at Elder Qingyi, and whispered, "Elder Qingyi, the sect master wants you to quickly and temporarily seal off your own magical power after you break the magic circle, and then find a place to hide. The sect master will make his own arrangements."

Elder Qingyi frowned slightly and wanted to ask something, but he also knew that time was pressing and there was no time to waste, so he nodded to indicate that he understood.

Seeing that Elder Qingyi understood, the fourth elder turned and left. A moment later, the fourth elder ran in panicked, clutching his stomach, shouting, "Oh no! There are cultivators from the human race breaking in. The situation is critical! Everyone, hurry out and help!"

The monsters in the cell were already slow to react, and when they heard the fourth brother's shout, they immediately lost their composure and rushed out.

After they were all out, Elder Qingyi's eyes flashed with a gleam of light. He quickly opened the other cell doors, looked at his companions inside, and said in a low but firm voice: "Fight your way out! As long as we break the seal, we have a chance to turn the situation around. Everyone, follow me!"
