News spread through the martial world, saying there was a new discovery. After Lu Yu received the news, he left the Divine Weapon Pavilion Secret Realm to arrive at the stronghold of the martial world's information network in Beifeng City.

Fu Mingcheng had prepared tea and snacks early, waiting for Lu Yu's arrival. Recently, he had been busy taking over affairs in Tianfeng Province and was extremely busy, only having some leisure time when hosting Lu Yu.

Besides focusing on smoothly taking over the martial world's information network operations in Tianfeng Province, he was also investigating the escaped Zeng Wentao. He didn't want Zeng Wentao to make a comeback, although the possibility seemed small.

But Fu Mingcheng didn't want someone in the shadows always eyeing his position, or even his life.

"Brother Lu, these are the locations of the hideouts and lists of members found through clues from the three people recently." Fu Mingcheng didn't mind being older than Lu Yu and naturally called him "Brother Lu."

Lu Yu took the list handed over by Fu Mingcheng and sat down to read it carefully. Fu Mingcheng picked up the teapot and poured a cup of refreshing green tea for Lu Yu, then returned to his seat without disturbing Lu Yu as he reviewed the information.

After reading the information Fu Mingcheng provided, Lu Yu placed it on the table and said calmly, "Still haven't found the whereabouts of the high-ranking members of the Iron Tomb?"

He picked up the teacup, subconsciously blew over the surface, drank the tea, and then casually picked up some pastries and fruits from the table to eat.

Since his strength had grown, the time spent enjoying food had decreased significantly. Lu Yu seldom actively sought out food.

Ordinary people need to spend considerable time eating daily, as food is their sole energy source. But for someone at Lu Yu's level, Spiritual Qi is enough to supply the body's energy needs without additional food intake, essentially eliminating hunger.

Without hunger, and without seeing delicious food, naturally, one wouldn't actively seek it out.

In a sense, Lu Yu's desires were fading, his appetite diminishing, leading to many related desires becoming much less intense.

True masters have clear minds and few desires, perhaps because their need for external material things lessens, turning instead to spiritual needs.

Upon taking a couple of bites, Lu Yu frowned, feeling something was off. He looked at the pastry he had already bitten, subconsciously licking his lips.

No sweetness, nor was it salty... Smacking his lips twice, Lu Yu could not taste any flavor in the pastry he held.

It was like clear water, flavorless.

"What's going on?" Lu Yu tossed the pastry into his mouth, chewed twice, and swallowed, picking up a jade-green apple. He had eaten this kind of apple once before.

Crunch~ a crisp sound echoed, yet although it should have been a very fragrant and sweet jade-green apple, Lu Yu couldn't detect any taste.

If not for distinctly feeling he was chewing something, Lu Yu might have thought he hadn't eaten at all.

Lu Yu gave Fu Mingcheng a puzzled look, only to see Fu Mingcheng's mouth constantly moving as if speaking, yet Lu Yu couldn't hear any sound.

He seemed to understand something, silently placing down the apple he had bitten into.

The pastries weren't flavorless, and the jade-green apples hadn't lost their sweetness; it was his senses that had malfunctioned.

He couldn't taste, couldn't hear, and even... Lu Yu pinched his arm hard, leaving the skin red, but he felt no pain.

Taste gone, hearing gone, pain perception gone... What else was lost? Smell was gone too; now, apart from being able to see, Lu Yu had lost four of his five senses.

He operated his Spiritual Power inside him, trying to expel any abnormal substances within, but his Spiritual Power couldn't find anything unusual, or rather, anything harmful.

Everything seemed normal, and yet, everything was abnormal.

Bang~ Lu Yu felt a fluctuation of Spiritual Power and looked toward Fu Mingcheng, who was rising in a panic, summoning his protective spiritual armor, activating his spiritual armor and treasure, and holding a spiritual weapon, vigilantly facing an empty space.

Fu Mingcheng had also realized something was wrong with himself. Glancing at Fu Mingcheng's eyes, Lu Yu noticed he had even lost his vision, hence his tension facing empty space.

With five senses stripped away, only the special sense of perceiving Spiritual Qi's fluctuations remained. If that too were lost, it wouldn't be much different from death.

Lu Yu released his own Spiritual Power, using it to write "Don't panic, leave it to me" in the air. Whether Fu Mingcheng "saw" these words, he calmed down.

Relying on memory, he sat back in the chair, though his protective spiritual armor and spiritual armor remained activated.

He struggled to control his Spiritual Power, writing "Okay" in the air. Lu Yu's keen perception easily identified Fu Mingcheng's crooked "okay."

Seeing this, Lu Yu deployed the Profound Turtle Water Avoidance Array, activating the array to its maximum, enveloping the entire courtyard of the martial world's information network, completely sealing the area so no one could enter or exit.

"How did the opponent strip away his senses?" Lu Yu mused as he walked, thinking, "I was able to retain vision, likely because my eyes have been trained. The opponent's power doesn't work on the Fire Demon Eyes, Ice Jade Eyes."

"Is this power afraid of fire and ice?" Lu Yu released flames, his whole body aflame, flames bursting from his ears, nose, and mouth, yet he still couldn't regain his senses.

"Not afraid of fire? Or did the flames repel that power?" He released cold air, his body infused with chills inside and out, yet still ineffectual.
