At midnight, Lu Yu felt a stomachache and got up to use the bathroom.

When he got up from the toilet, he instinctively looked back and found that the culprit causing his stomachache was the blade he had swallowed.

The blade had dissolved, turning into a mass of pitch-black muck.

Lu Yu thought to himself that he hadn't had the urge to go to the bathroom for a long time, and it turns out that the still-undigested Purple Flame Demon Saber blade was expelled.

Since Lu Yu broke through the Iron Bone Realm, his intestines and stomach have become very unusual, able to completely digest everything he eats, leaving almost no waste.

Daily waste excretion can be expelled through the pores as vapor, without the need to use the bathroom.

After discharging the incompletely digested waste metal, Lu Yu comfortably returned to his room to continue sleeping.

Now he prefers to sleep in the game, feeling that everything in the Divine Martial World is more real compared to reality.

He logs off once every day to check on the situation in the real world, top up on water and nutrients, and then immediately returns to the Divine Martial World.

When Lu Yu woke up, it wasn't from natural sleep; it was the system's warning that woke him.

He wasn't attacked in reality; rather, he was in big trouble in the Divine Martial World.

[Player triggers large-scale public task—Battle of Yunhai]

[Task content: Resist the invasion of sea tribes, protect Yunhai City from being captured by the sea tribes. Kill sea tribes within task time to earn contribution points, which will be settled collectively after task completion. The top three in task contribution receive extra rewards.]

[Hint: If Yunhai City is captured by sea tribes, the task fails]

[Player triggers special task—Center of Storm]

[Task content: The root of this sea tribe invasion originates from the Mermaid Princess Hai Wei. Players can choose to hand over Mermaid Princess Hai Wei to Yunhai City's He Family, Near-Sea Sea Tribe, or Deep-Sea Sea Tribe to complete the task.]

[Hint: The rewards vary depending on the choice made]

[Beep Beep Beep! Detected player accepted special task—Protect Mermaid Princess. Task completion condition adjusted: Task completes when the player hands over Mermaid Princess Hai Wei to the Deep-Sea Messenger]

[System Warning!!! Player Lu Yu, as the Guardian of Mermaid Princess, will be hunted by all players, sea tribes, He Family, and other factions until the task "Center of Storm" is completed, ending the hunt]

[System Warning!!! The location of Mermaid Princess Hai Wei will be announced every four hours. Players, please prepare for the upcoming chase]

[System Warning!!! 3 minutes left until the first location announcement; players, please prepare for the coming chase]

Three consecutive system warnings in red woke Lu Yu from his sleep. He hadn't expected such drastic changes just from sleeping.

Three tasks arrived at once, leaving Lu Yu a bit stunned.

The Battle of Yunhai is a public task that all players can receive.

Center of Storm is a triggered task that players can see, but it can only be accepted after contacting Hai Wei.

As for the task to protect the Mermaid Princess, it's exclusive to Lu Yu, and unless other players gain Hai Wei's approval, they cannot take on this task or even see it.

Looking at the time, there was less than a minute before the first location announcement, and Lu Yu hurriedly woke up the still sleeping Hai Wei, readying for battle.

"What's wrong?" Hai Wei asked sleepily.

"Your tribesmen are about to arrive, but we're soon going to have big trouble."

From the task completion conditions, Lu Yu could infer that Hai Wei's tribe, the Deep-Sea Messenger, should soon arrive. Otherwise, this option wouldn't exist; he just didn't know the exact time of arrival.

Hai Wei was very happy to hear that her tribesmen were about to arrive, grabbing Lu Yu's hand and asking, "How do you know?"

At 6 a.m., thick fog enveloped Yunhai City, like clouds surrounding it, making the sea invisible; Yunhai City seemed to be built upon a sea of clouds.

The first location announcement time arrived.

While Lu Yu wondered through which method the location information would be transmitted, urgent alarms rang from the martial arts arena on the back mountain. Countless seawater surged up the cliffs, flooding towards the Divine Weapon Pavilion dormitory area, mixed with innumerable sea tribes.

The figure of Flying Fish General appeared at the crest of the waves. Initially, it planned to personally take a trip to bring back the Mermaid Princess. However, they received the latest news that the Deep-Sea Messenger would soon arrive at the shallow seas.

Once the Deep-Sea Messenger arrives at the shallow seas, and the people of fierce sharks haven't taken control of the Mermaid Princess or hidden her, shifting the blame to humans, all their schemes will fail.

So Fierce Shark decided to directly attack Yunhai City, seize the opportunity amidst chaos, forcibly take the Mermaid Princess from human hands, and hide her, falsely accusing humans.

This led to the scene of Flying Fish General leading the sea army invading the Divine Weapon Pavilion's residence.

From afar, even before the alarms sounded, Guan Hai sensed the approaching powerful demonic aura. Just as he stepped out, he heard the alarms, and quickly instructed the nearby guard chief to call for help as he rushed towards the source of the demonic aura.

Flying in mid-air, he tightened his grip on the Jade Pure Lotus in his arms, surprised at how quickly he'd need it.

Guided by marine treasures, the Flying Fish General pinpointed Hai Wei's location, directing the sea tribes to charge towards Lu Yu's residence, with the Swordfish Commander leading the pursuit.

It was its failure not to capture the princess before; this time, it will be the first to seize the princess.

At the moment the countdown to the position reveal ended, the silhouette of the Swordfish Commander appeared in Lu Yu's perception, and he instantly understood the so-called method of revealing the location every 4 hours.

The Sea tribe possesses the means to track Hai Wei's position, likely needing a 4-hour cooldown for the treasure to be used again, hence the periodic location reveal.

Players only need to follow the footsteps of the Sea tribe to easily find Hai Wei's location.

Without hesitation, upon sensing the appearance of the Swordfish Commander, Lu Yu immediately released the Liang family patriarch. A sharp blade light sliced through the courtyard wall, cutting through the walls, and flew towards Lu Yu.

Upon the appearance of the Liang family patriarch, he immediately conjured three phantom beasts to block the blade light.

After severing the three phantom beast phantoms, the blade light dissipated into the air.

From over three meters away, Lu Yu could feel the sharpness of that blade light. Even with the enhancement of the Golden Armor Spirit Array, his fleshly body couldn't withstand it.

Scooping up Hai Wei, the Binding Dragon Rope was activated, tightly wrapping Hai Wei into Lu Yu's embrace. Under the spiritual power of the Liang family patriarch, the three of them overturned the rooftop and flew out.

Guan Hai felt the aura of a stranger at the Sea of Qi Realm suddenly appear not far away. Immediately after, he saw a Black Iron Masked Man and a black-robed man flying out of Lu Yu's residence.

He couldn't help but tighten his heart, worried that Lu Yu would be harmed by the black-robed man and the unfamiliar Sea of Qi Realm, and sped up his flight.

Flying in the air, Lu Yu could see countless Sea tribe members swarming into Yunhai City from the sea. The waves set off by the Sea tribe experts became a direct path for the Sea tribe to invade Yunhai City. Following the waves, many Sea tribe members could directly charge into Yunhai City.

Not only was the Divine Weapon Pavilion under attack, but other directions of Yunhai City also suffered assaults from the Sea tribe, with waves over ten meters high surging towards Yunhai City.

At the location near the port, these waves were stopped by an invisible barrier.

The invisible barrier could block the waves set off by the Sea tribe but couldn't stop the Sea tribe members with weaker strength hiding within the waves, allowing a large number of Sea tribe members to break out of the waves and charge towards Yunhai City.

At the base of Yunhai City, the location of Yunhai Academy.

At the first moment of the Sea tribe's wave invasion, the alarm sounded inside Yunhai Academy, and the large array surrounding Yunhai City was activated, blocking the waves from entering Yunhai City and preventing the Sea tribe from turning Yunhai City into their playing ground.

The Demonic Power Realm and Demonic Qi Realm Sea tribe members were unaffected by the barrier, breaking out of the waves and rushing towards Yunhai City.

The Demonic Spirit Realm and Core Formation Realm Sea tribe members hid within the waves, maintaining these over ten-meter-high waves, continuously assaulting Yunhai City's defense array, waiting for the moment when the defense array weakened, to break it and launch a full-scale attack.

Before that, they sent numerous Sea tribe members to destroy the array's nodes—the lighthouses built within a twenty-mile radius along the coastline.

The lighthouses were the nodes of the defense array and the first line of defense against the Sea tribe invasion for Yunhai City.

When the Sea tribe whipped up waves, the lighthouses sounded the alarm, the whole of Yunhai City could hear the alarm's sound, waking those still asleep with the piercing alarm.

The alarm hadn't sounded in Yunhai City for at least ten years, making people's reactions slightly sluggish. Upon waking, they still pondered what the alarm meant.

The Huang family, the He family, the Chou family, and other Yunhai City families all summoned their family disciples to prepare for battle; this was their duty, among which the Huang family had the most significant influence, with as many as 6 Core Formation Realm experts going to battle.

More than the combined number of Core Formation Realm experts going to battle from the other forces.

The He family's informants reported to He Yichao that the Divine Weapon Pavilion dormitory area was the first to suffer a Sea tribe invasion. He Yichao's eyes lit up, and he immediately ordered, "Xu Qing, you take people to the Divine Weapon Pavilion to keep an eye on Lu Yu. As soon as he leaves the Divine Weapon Pavilion's territory, seize him immediately, and if possible, bring along the Mermaid Princess."

He now realized clearly that the primary target was the Immortal Guiding Map in Lu Yu's hand, followed by the mermaid princess, Hai Wei.

Everything stemmed from the Immortal Guiding Map, and as long as he got the Immortal Guiding Map, even without the Mermaid Princess, he could find other ways to overthrow the Huang family.

Previously, he was blinded by the Mermaid Princess, forgetting that the crux of the matter lay with the Immortal Guiding Map. Now he had awakened to the fact that the Sea tribe wanted to rescue the Mermaid Princess, so let them rescue her.

He would avoid the Sea tribe's edge and target Lu Yu. Without the interference of the Sea tribe, his success rate would not be low.

After all, Lu Yu was merely a Martial Cultivator at the Qi Condensation Realm, while the Xu Qing he sent was a strong Sea of Qi Realm expert. Capturing a Qi Condensation Realm Martial Cultivator was not a difficult task.

Moreover, He Yichao still harbored a grudge against Lu Yu for taking 3 million from him for nothing.

"Lu Yu, oh Lu Yu! I never expected you to have so many treasures on you. At that time, not only will the Immortal Guiding Map belong to me, but the Seven-Colored Glazed Tower will also be mine, and the 3 million you took must be returned with interest!"

He Yichao looked viciously at the Divine Weapon Pavilion dormitory in the distance where spiritual light was shooting everywhere.

He hadn't told anyone else about the Immortal Guiding Map, not even his relatives in the He family.

To date, only three people knew that Lu Yu had the Immortal Guiding Map—He Yichao, the patriarch of the Huang family, Huang Hongguang, and Huang Ying.

Huang Hongguang saw the road to prosperity and continuation for the Huang family through the Immortal Guiding Map, busy handling various matters and procreation these days.

Acquiring critical future pillar industries for the Huang family, opening essential future commercial channels for the Huang family, liaising and searching for future benefactors of the Huang family, and working on breeding future talented offspring for the Huang family.

He was so busy that he only found a tiny bit of free time when the alarm sounded, wearily climbing out of bed, glancing at his increasingly radiant wife, bewitchingly alluring, then bracing his waist and walking outward...

Huang Ying, on the other hand, saw a new breakthrough direction in the Talisman Dao from the Immortal Guiding Map, eagerly retreating to practice and has not come out yet. Even the alarm didn't reach Huang Ying's retreat place.

It seems that unless she achieves a breakthrough, she won't come out of her retreat.
