Butler Zhang immediately sent people to wipe out the Wild Wolf Sect. To his surprise, there was not a single person in the Wild Wolf Sect’s lair. The entire sect had disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where they were.
It was not just the Wild Wolf Sect, but also the Fierce Tiger Sect, Blood Blade Sect, and a few other underground forces in Windmill Town had disappeared.
Butler Zhang felt that something was wrong, so he sent people to investigate. At the same time, he strengthened the security of the Han Residence.
“The Wild Wolf Sect and the Blood Blade Sect, these small forces would not dare to make a move against the Han Residence unless they are tired of living. There must be someone supporting them from behind.”
After Han Yaozu heard the news, he came to a conclusion and asked Butler Zhang to personally investigate the person behind the Wild Wolf Sect.
The Wild Wolf Sect and the Blood Blade Sect were just clowns. The most important thing was what the person behind them was scheming against Han Residence.
No one else knew what happened outside the west courtyard, but Lu Yu received a new mission.
[ New mission — Increase vigilance: Recently, a suspicious person has appeared in the forest outside the west courtyard of the Han Residence. As a courtyard guard, you should increase your vigilance. The first thing you should do is to find the intruder and alert the others. Mission reward: 150 experience points ]
Not long after receiving the system notification, Lu Yu received an order from the inner courtyard. All the courtyard guards were to increase their vigilance and patrol on a small scale.
Lu Yu was assigned to a small team. They were responsible for patrolling the outer wall of the west courtyard. The patrol area started from the west side of the courtyard guards’ dormitory to the martial arts practice field, and then to the side gate of the west courtyard.
When he received the mission, he felt that something big was about to happen.
In the inner courtyard of the Han Residence, Third Master Han heard the report about Butler Zhang’s whereabouts. He was so angry that he crushed the armrest of his chair.
“The murderer of my Fan ‘er has not been found yet. This Butler Zhang has the time to care about the Wild Wolf Sect?”
“Fan ‘er! You died so miserably. Don’t worry, I will definitely find the murderer and tear them into pieces!”
After Third Master Han finished speaking, he looked at Yang Xiu who was standing at the side and said, “Yang Xiu, you are very close to Fan ‘er. The task of finding the murderer of Fan ‘er will be handed to you. You must not disappoint me!”
“I will do everything in my power to find the murderer of young master. I guarantee that I will not disappoint you.” Yang Xiu cupped his fists and said with a calm expression.
“You may go.”
“I will take my leave.”
Walking out of the hall, Yang Xiu looked at the sky and a smile appeared on his face.
The patrol mission had started when the inner court had given the order. Lu Yu and a few courtyard guards were patrolling together.
The group of people held their sabers and lined up to patrol the designated area.
They kept patrolling for a whole day, they did not even have time to cultivate. Unfortunately, they did not find anything unusual. Some people in the team started to complain.
After the shift change, Lu Yu went to have a meal and then rested in his room.
Looking at his attribute panel, the experience bar for the cultivation technique was almost half. Previously, if he did not use the experience points to level up the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada, he would be able to level up now.
However, he did not need the experience points to level up the Eight Steps Chasing Cicada. Just by using his qi-blood to cultivate every day, he estimated that he would not be able to level up even one level up until now.
However, if he were to complete this new mission and patrol mission, he would have enough experience points to level up his cultivation technique.
Another thing that concerned Lu Yu was his qi-blood. After reaching 49 points, his qi-blood seemed to have reached a limit.
The body tempering pill had completely lost its effect. His qi-blood did not increase during his cultivation. It was as if his qi-blood were stuck at 49 points.
He had just exchanged blows with the courtyard guard who was at the third level of the body refining realm. The other party’s strength was slightly weaker than his, and his qi-blood were lower than his.
Moreover, the other party had personally said that his qi-blood were already close to the fourth level of the body refining realm.
In other words, from 49 to 50 points of qi-blood, he would be at the third level or the fourth level of the body refining realm. However, he was only at the second level. Could it be that his realm had not risen, so he could not continue to raise his qi-blood?
Lu Yu looked at his realm and was a little surprised by what he saw.
The experience bar of his realm, which had always shown 0, had actually increased by a little.
He only had 12 experience points in his realm. He was still 488 experience points away from leveling up.
Lu Yu remembered that he had never added experience points to his realm. In other words, the experience points of his realm were increased through other means.
Looking at his 49 points of qi-blood, he guessed that the experience points of his realm would only increase after his qi-blood was maxed out
“It’s very possible.” Lu Yu thought to himself.
“Now I already know three ways to increase my realm. I can directly use the experience points to increase my realm, or level up my cultivation technique to increase my realm indirectly. Then, after I maxed out my qi-blood, I can keep cultivate to increase my realm.”
“I wonder if there is a fourth way.”
Lu Yu was wondering if there was a pill that could directly increase his realm.
After all, the way to obtain experience points was too limited, and there were many things that required experience points. The experience points obtained from daily missions and some random missions were completely insufficient.
Moreover, the leveling up of the realm required a huge amount of experience points.
It would be great if there were pills that could directly increase one’s realm.
Just as Lu Yu was about to open the system store to search for pills that could directly increase his realm, someone from his patrol team knocked on his door.
“Lu Yu, it’s time for the shift change.”
“Okay, I’ll be right out.”
Hearing the voice, Lu Yu hurriedly got up, grabbed the saber on the table, and left.
The sky had already turned dark, and there was a strong wind blowing. The temperature difference between day and night in Windmill Town was quite big. If an ordinary person went out at night and wore a piece of clothing, they would feel a little chilling.
Lu Yu followed the others and walked towards the west courtyard’s side door. The night wind blew the flags of the martial arts practice field, causing them to flutter.
The thin protective clothing was completely unable to block the night wind. But Lu Yu felt that this wind was quite nice, just enough to blow away the heat of the afternoon.
His qi-blood were much stronger than an ordinary person’s, so he naturally would not afraid of this little bit of night wind.
However, the wind was strong, causing the flags to flutter. It caused a lot of noises, which in turn affected the hearing patrolling courtyard guards to the movements around them.
In the forest outside the west courtyard, there were many black-clothed men lying in bushes. They quietly looked at the courtyard guards patrolling on the road and did not make a sound.
Soon, the courtyard guards disappeared from their sight. However, they were still hiding in the forest and did not make any movements.
Suddenly, a bright flame lit up from afar. A black-clothed man said in a low voice, “Do it.”
…
“It’s on fire, it’s on fire, put it out quickly.”
Shouts came from the inner courtyard. Lu Yu could see the flames rising into the sky from the outer wall of the west courtyard.
Then, he saw many courtyard guards being called into the inner courtyard to put out the fire. For a moment, there were not many courtyard guards left in the outer courtyard.
Lu Yu and his teammates were stunned on the spot. They hesitated whether they should go to the inner courtyard to put out the fire. However, their task was to patrol, so no one called them in to put out the fire.
If they left their posts without permission, what if the higher-ups blamed them?
But the others had gone to put out the fire, should they go as well? What if the higher-ups blamed them?
The few of them were very conflicted.
Lu Yu looked at the fire and felt that something was wrong.
The range of the fire didn’t seem to be large, so it wasn’t necessary to call so many people to put out the fire, right?
Immediately after, he thought of his own mission. A thought flashed through his mind, and he ]felt that things were not looking good.
“Be careful!” He shouted at the others.
By the time he reacted, it was already too late. A group of black-clothed people had climbed over the wall and entered the Han Residence. A few of them had already sneaked behind the crowd.
When they heard Lu Yu’s reminder, his teammates had been ambushed from their backs. They had been stabbed several times and were lying on the ground while bleeding profusely. It was unknown whether they were alive or dead.
Clang! Clang! Clang! The courtyard guards who had reacted fought with the black-clothed men. Lu Yu used the saber in his hand to parry the opponent’s sharp blade. He did not have a chance to counterattack.
Just as he was about to be besieged, a voice came from the side.
“Ignore them. Let’s rush into the inner courtyard first.”
When the black-clothed men quickly followed the large group and rushed into the inner courtyard, leaving a few black-clothed men to fight with the surviving patrolling courtyard guards.
Lu Yu understood that the fire was only to cause chaos and prepare for the invasion of the black-clothed men.
He wanted to take out his whistle and blow the alarm to complete the mission, but he was busy fighting the black-clothed man. The opponent kept suppressing him with a blade.
Lu Yu had never learnt saber technique. He could only rely on the strength brought by his powerful qi-blood to fight head-on with the opponent.
Under the attack of the black-clothed men, Lu Yu was suppressed and in a disadvantageous position. The situation of the other courtyard guards was even worse. Some of them had already been stabbed several times and could not hold any longer.
At that time, the other black-clothed men would surround and attack Lu Yu. It would be difficult for him to escape death.
A saber was not as useful as a fist, but a fist would not be able to block a saber. Lu Yu could only parry the opponent’s blows while retreating.
From the corner of his eye, he saw that someone had fallen, and his throat had been cut by the black-robed man. Lu Yu made up his mind and went all out!
He stopped retreating. He stomped on the ground and closed in on the black-clothed man.
The man was shocked when he saw Lu Yu closing in on him. However, he did not panic because he could counterattack Lu Yu with his blade.
He could already tell that Lu Yu’s saber skills were not that good. In fact, he knew that Lu Yu had never learned saber skills before.
Clang! The two weapons clashed. The black-clothed man stopped moving. He felt that something was not right. The clashing impact was not as strong as he thought.
Whoosh! Lu Yu’s saber flew out.
Buzz! The saber shook as it stabbed into the ground.
Bang! The black-clothed man fell to the ground and the saber in his hand fell to the side.
In terms of saber skill, Lu Yu was definitely not a match for the black-clothed man. However, in terms of fist techniques, Lu Yu could crush the black-clothed man especially in close combat.
Lu Yu used Eight Steps Chasing Cicada to close in on the black-clothed man. He then immediately threw away his saber and use his fist. Taking advantage of the short distance between the black-clothed man and himself, he used fist technique to repel the black-clothed man’s blade. Lu Yu then knocked off the black-clothed man’s blade and beat him down.
After knocking the black-clothed man down, Lu Yu used “Hungry Tiger Pounce” and broke the black-clothed man’s throat.
[ Killed a martial art cultivator at the third level of the body refining realm. Obtained 78 experience points ]
After receiving the notification, Lu Yu was a little surprised, but his hands did not stop. He picked up the saber that had fallen to the side and rushed toward the nearest black-clothed man.
At the same time, he used his mind to take out the whistle in his backpack. The position was set in front of his head.
He bit down on the whistle that appeared in mid-air and blew it with all his strength.

If someone else blew the whistle before him, his mission would fail!
Shh!!!
The whistle resounded throughout the Han Residence.
Han Yaozu, who was handling matters in the study room, suddenly stood up. “It’s the whistle from the outer courtyard!”.
The leader of the men in black shouted, “D*mn it, we’ve been exposed! Everyone, charge!”
