Peerless Taoist

The cultivator who was called out by Lu Yu was slightly stunned when he saw Lu Yu, and he could not help but call out to him.    

"Hmm... Didn't you hear the cry for help?" Lu Yu asked.    

The cultivator shook his head blankly, not knowing what Lu Yu was talking about.    

Lu Yu immediately understood that he could only discover it because his soul power was strong enough. This cultivator was just an ordinary person, so it was very difficult for him to discover the hidden danger.    

"Forget it, you can leave."    

Hearing Lu Yu's words, the cultivator felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He hurriedly nodded and left.    

After the cultivator left, a cold light flashed across Lu Yu's eyes, and his figure instantly disappeared into thin air.    

In the next moment, Lu Yu had already appeared in the courtyard.    

The courtyard was extremely spacious, and the courtyard was stacked with each other. There was even a garden in the middle of the courtyard. The pavilions and towers were exquisite, and there were many places where spiritual plants were planted. Everywhere was filled with the scenery of spiritual energy.    

The identity of the person who could live in this courtyard was definitely extraordinary.    

However, as soon as Lu Yu entered, he smelled a strong stench of blood.    

This stench of blood came from the depths of the courtyard. Lu Yu walked in step by step, but he did not find a single person.    

"Hmm?" Lu Yu frowned.    

With his observation ability, it was impossible for him to make a mistake. Just now, there was definitely a battle here. However, everything had quietly disappeared, as if nothing had happened.    

"What's going on?"    

Lu Yu looked around and found that the mansion was strangely quiet.    

At this moment, a maidservant walked in from afar with a tray in her hand. She walked up the limestone stairs step by step.    

When the maidservant saw Lu Yu, she suddenly revealed a shocked expression. "Who are you? How can you appear here?"    

Lu Yu cupped his hands and said, "A cultivator passing by. I heard a cry for help and came to investigate."    

"A cry for help..."    

The maidservant frowned slightly. "This is the City Lord's Mansion. With our City Lord here, how could anything happen? Leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will call for help."    

At the same time, chaotic footsteps came from the backyard of the mansion behind the maidservant.    

A group of servants walked over with unfriendly expressions.    

However, Lu Yu was not afraid. He said in a deep voice, "Please let me see your Master."    

"Who are you? How dare you come and see my master!"    

"I think you are a thief. You came to steal something!"    

A few servants scolded in a stern voice, their eyes filled with threat.    

Lu Yu was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people. He released his own aura, and a powerful aura swept across the surroundings, suppressing everyone on the ground.    

"I am only here to ask. I have no ill intentions," Lu Yu said indifferently.    

Everyone around was stunned, and panic appeared on their faces.    

Lu Yu felt that something was amiss. Just as he was about to continue asking, he suddenly heard a rough voice from the backyard, "Hold on, all of you, retreat!"    

Everyone dispersed and saw a middle-aged man in purple robes walking over with a dignified expression.    

"Senior, may I know why you have come to my humble abode?" The middle-aged man was very humble and polite to Lu Yu.    

"I sensed a scream."    

Lu Yu suddenly frowned. "Are you sure that there is nothing wrong here?"    

"Oh, it's just a few disobedient servants. It's my fault for disturbing you, senior." A smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face.    

Lu Yu took a deep breath and looked around at everyone present.    

The powerful soul power allowed Lu Yu to see through everything. Under Lu Yu's observation, everyone standing in front of him was shrouded in a black mist.    

Lu Yu knew this black mist very well.    

They were the devil race!    

Before the Holy Demon Door opened, these devils had forcibly taken over the bodies of other living beings to survive.    

Back in the Desolate Era, countless divine beasts and holy beasts lived in the Mountain and Sea Realm. After being possessed, they were forcefully transformed into ancient demons, helping the tyrant.    

These people in front of him were exactly like that.    

"Is there anyone alive in this courtyard?" Lu Yu asked casually.    

The middle-aged man pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What does senior mean?"    

"I mean, the living, not you bunch of devil children." Lu Yu said indifferently, "Is there only you bunch of devils here? Where are the other devils?"    

Just as Lu Yu finished speaking, the middle-aged man and the servants around him all had a cold glint in their eyes.    

"Senior, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want." The middle-aged man revealed a threatening expression.    

"So what if I say it?"    

Lu Yu did not hesitate at all. He raised his palm and slapped the middle-aged man in front of him.    

The middle-aged man did not expect Lu Yu to attack. Just as he was about to retaliate, Lu Yu's overwhelming strength crushed down and smashed the middle-aged man into pieces. He was blasted into a bloody mist, and not even a single bone was left.    

"You guys attack together!"    

Lu Yu pointed at the surrounding devils and said in a deep voice.    

"You actually killed my saint soldiers, you are courting death!"    

The servants and servants immediately changed their expressions. The flesh they were currently in was like a puppet, and their faces all revealed strange expressions.    

Their eyes turned blood-red, and a berserk evil aura spread out from them.    

"Lu Yu, it seems that this Xuan Chen Heaven has been corrupted by the devils! These devils have already entered many cities. First, they controlled the city lords, and then they could slowly nibble away at them. In the end, they took over all the living beings!" Qing Niu was also secretly shocked in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.    

Once these devils completed their possession, they would not be able to tell anything different from their appearance.    

It was also because Lu Yu had dealt with the devils before that he was able to tell the identity of these devils with a single glance.    

"Of course I know, but how many of these devils are there? How many of them will I kill?"    

A strong fighting spirit rose in Lu Yu's heart.    

After all, these devils were nourishment for his cultivation.    

As long as he devoured the souls of these devils, it would be enough to reduce his cultivation by several days.    

At this moment, these devils had already started their attack on Lu Yu.    

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!    

They were extremely fast, and their fists and palms unleashed a shocking amount of power. It was as if black rays of light were slashing through the air, and a sound of breaking through the air instantly rang out in Lu Yu's ears.    

Lu Yu took a step forward, and his boots fiercely stomped on the ground. Immediately, a wave of majestic mana erupted, directly blasting away a few devils.
