Chapter 1156: Dajiuer's Secret, the Eve of the Big Competition!_2

Luo Yu's mouth twitched slightly; these words sounded awfully like a confession.

"Why are you waiting for me?" Luo Yu asked.

Dajiuer's response was beyond Luo Yu's expectations. She shook her head blankly, "I don't know, I only know I have to wait for someone."

"I don't know anything else."

???

A string of question marks appeared on Luo Yu's face.

Beauty, are you sure you're not joking with me?

Seeing the serious look on her face, it didn't seem like a joke; at that moment, Luo Yu had a thought.

With a swift movement, he was in front of Dajiuer.

"Show me your hand!"

"Huh?"

Dajiuer was puzzled. The guy had just been acting dismissive, so why was he suddenly so agitated?

She extended her hand instinctively.

Luo Yu's pupils shrank when he saw the palm print on her hand.

He had found another person whose handprint corresponded to those on the Bronze Gate.

After getting close to Dajiuer, he smelled a fragrance on her, which he had also encountered in the tomb.

At the time, he felt it was familiar.

It was only at that moment he realized in hindsight, "So, the pink coffin in the side chamber of the tomb was yours?"

"Yes, how did you know that?" Dajiuer was surprised, "Could it be that you also came out of the tomb?"

Luo Yu answered, speechless, "I just happened to have visited it."

After that, he quickly asked, "So did you also sleep from ancient times until now before awakening?"

Dajiuer nodded: "Yes, I slept since the era of King Zhou of Shang, and when I awakened, it was already ten years ago."

"In these ten years, I've been hiding in the shadows, practicing the martial arts of this era."

"I don't know if my existence is considered an anomaly, so I've been concealing my cultivation level without revealing it."

"The era of King Zhou of Shang?"

Luo Yu was shocked, wow, Zhen Fu'er was from the Han Dynasty, and you're from the time of King Zhou of Shang, even more ancient.

Wait a minute!

Luo Yu seemed to catch a pattern.

There were a total of four coffins in that tomb; it couldn't be possible that all of them contained people from different periods.

Moreover, since Dajiuer mentioned she slept since the Shang Dynasty, and Mengde had not yet been born at that time, it indicated that the great tomb had been there since the era of King Zhou of Shang, and possibly even earlier.

Now that he had found four out of the five handprints on the Bronze Gate, all that was missing was the owner of the last beastly claw; likely the occupant of the blood-red coffin in the side chamber.

Given the murderous aura of that coffin, there was a high chance that its resident was not benign.

Luo Yu couldn't help asking, "You... your memory hasn't also suffered significant losses, has it?"

"You know about that too?" Dajiuer expressed her surprise, "Indeed, I can't remember much of my past, but deep down, a voice keeps telling me I need to wait for someone."

"If I wait for this person, there might be hope of regaining my memories."

Lou Yu shook his head, "Okay, Zhen Fu'er has just gotten another partner in suffering."

Luo Yu took Dajiuer to Bai Xiao'e's residence, where they met and exchanged experiences about memory loss.

In the end, they both looked hopefully at Luo Yu.

"Master Luo, it seems you are our fated one, all our hopes of regaining our memories rest with you."

"If there's anything you need, we can help you."

The ancient beauty and the human enchantress both expressed their support for any action Luo Yu took.

Luo Yu was tempted to ask, are you sure it's any action?

...

Elsewhere, thirty kilometers away from Sichuan Province Martial University on a street corner, a piece of silver flesh flew out from a crevice in the wall and started squirming on the ground, rapidly turning into a weakened, nearly transparent snake man.

He looked back towards the direction of the Martial University with lingering fear.

"Damn it!"

"It's a good thing this Onmyoji had a backup plan, otherwise I would've died at the hands of that kid again today."

"Why! Why does he even have the means to combat the essence of the gods?"

The snake man voiced his bitter resentment.

"Luo Yu, you never imagined I'd still be alive, did you? I will make sure you die a terrible death!!!"

"If I can't beat you, can't I still kill your family and friends?"

"You want to find Luo Yu's family?"

"Yeah."

The snake man nodded, but he soon realized something was wrong. Where was that voice coming from?

Turning his head, he saw two fiery dark-dressed beauties standing quietly at the corner of the street, watching him.

They were the Zhu Zhuqing Sisters, who had been out looking for Luo Yu. They received the distress signal from the Martial University and rushed back.

However, they were still a step too slow due to the distance, and they both sensed something strange in the air.

So they came to take a look, and just happened to hear the Snake Man's villainous speech.

"Do you know Luo Yu?"

The Snake Man realized these were two different women, not the same ones who had killed him last time.

His courage suddenly soared.

Zhu Zhuyun said with a cold laugh, "We are his family. What was it you said you wanted to do to his family?"

"Of course, kill them all, not sparing a single one!"

The Snake Man charged directly at them. With his current strength, he thought killing others might not be possible, but taking down two little women should be a piece of cake.

It couldn't be that the whole Luo Yu family were all powerhouses, could it?

What a joke.

"Get lost!"

The Zhu Zhuqing Sisters acted simultaneously, displaying terrifying might that sent the Snake Man flying to the ground.

Blood spurted wildly, and the sound of his limbs being shattered could be heard in an instant.

The Snake Man's eyes bulged with fear and shock.

"You... you..."

"How is this possible!"

He could never have imagined how Luo Yu could easily pull two such terrifying women to his side.

"You dare target Brother Yu's family? Are you even worthy?"

"Fine, I'll deal with you properly."

Zhu Zhuyun extended her palm, and from a distance, conjured a massive black claw shadow, crushing him in her grip.

In a flash, she brought him back to the villa where Gu Yuena and the rest of the women were.

"Plop!"

The Snake Man was unceremoniously thrown onto the ground, where he saw Gu Yuena, the women of the Life God King, and also Bi Bidong and Xiaowu, who had killed him before.

Xiaowu waved her hand, seething with killing intent, "Hi, long time no see. You're not dead yet, huh."

"Anyone who dares to go against Brother Yu and the countrymen he cares about, die!"

The women erupted with terrifying might, causing the Snake Man's scalp to tingle with fear.

"Impossible."

"Absolutely impossible!!!"

"How can there be so many top-tier powerhouses."

"Aaah!!!"

His already fragmented soul and body were crushed under the terrifying might of the women.

He could also be said to have been scared to death.

Bullet Island, deep within Takamanopara.

"Boom!"

Divine might burst forth, and an angry voice echoed tumultuously.

"Damn it."

"Merely the people of Great Xia, daring to show no respect for the gods, courting death."

A pair of eyes opened within Takamanopara—it was the Heavenly Emperor God.

"What's wrong, Amaterasu?"

"That little Onmyoji wasn't wrong in his report. The one causing us palpitations is indeed that youngster from Great Xia. He actually managed to break my divine power, he dared to break my divine power!"

"Tsk, Amaterasu, this is a good thing, why be angry?"

"Indeed, it seems this youngster must be a trick left behind by the Deities of Great Xia. I said that they wouldn't leave so easily."

"Amaterasu, should we tell the other deities about this news?"

"No need. Tian Yu, you help me manage some of the Power of Heaven and Earth, I will send an avatar to devour that youngster. We are siblings; when I come back, I will definitely share with you."

"But doing that will significantly delay my recovery." Tian Yu hesitated.

"So what? As long as we can successfully devour that youngster, we are guaranteed a profit. If we let the other deities get ahead of us, that would be terrible."

Silence fell within Takamanopara, but soon, terrifying fluctuations erupted, lightning fell, striking the deepest part of Takamanopara where Tian Yu's screams could be continuously heard.

Eventually, everything returned to calm.

"Big brother, that's all I can do for you."

"It is enough, dear brother. That youngster who dared to challenge the divine authority, regardless of who's behind him, is as good as dead."

...

Time moved backward, and Luo Yu paid attention to the news of the White-Haired Goddess while he continued his cultivation.

More than twenty days quickly passed, and the end of the month arrived.

The nationwide Young Martial Artists Competition, held in the Capital Base City, was to be convened the following day.

All parties were abuzz, and everyone set out for the Great Capital Base.
