Dark North Capital, Burning Skies Barracks .
The dark north general's quarters were located behind the Burning Skies Arena, a huge area that none could enter without the dark north general's permission .
After Duan Yi arrived, it had been renamed to the Burning Skies General's Residence .
It was extremely spacious within the Burning Skies General Residence, and it was lit by dull, yellow candles everywhere . A quiet place .
Within an ancient but elegant room, a bunch of extraordinary youths were tasting alcohol and discussing dao .
The one who was sitting at the foremost position was the master of the Burning Skies Barracks, the newly appointed dark north general, Duan Yi . He was in purple robes, a royal and noble figure clad with pearls and jewels . He had a handsome face with a high arch on his nose . His eyes had a wise look in them, and he had the look of an eagle .
In the other seats, there were men and women exceptional in both looks and quality - they were clearly rich and powerful . Even their manner and way of speaking all smacked of the breeding of the major cultivation families .
These men and women were amongst the most envied in the Jambu Realm .
Outsiders could only dream of entering this exclusive circle of theirs .
"Please chat amongst yourselves . Excuse me for a moment . " After receiving a core-tail talisman, Duan Yi rose and left . He exited the luxurious room and opened the core-tail talisman . He frowned slightly .
He returned to a pleasant atmosphere . Upon seeing Duan Yi's displeased expression, someone asked, "Is there a problem in the Alternate World?"
The conversation died as they turned to Duan Yi .

Duan Yi had an angry look . "Indeed . That centurion sent news . Says that Wu Yu was whisked away by Yin Ying . The two of them are planning to go hunting, and that centurion could not stop them . "
"How did Wu Yu end up with Yin Ying?" Frowns all around, then they turned to one person in golden robes . It was Yin Xuan himself . His injuries had recovered a little, and he had managed to make his way here .
Yin Xuan showed his displeasure as well . "That sister of mine is a wild one, and she likes to set herself against me . I don't spend much time with her . I don't know what her interest in Wu Yu is either . But given her personality, she must be curious about someone who is so favored by Princess You Xue . "
Gong Shenjun stood up, snapping, "What is to be done? Without the tracking talisman, we cannot find him . How are we to succeed?"
"The two of them in the Alternate World, it will be like hunting a needle in a haystack . " Everyone was frustrated .
Although this was Gong Shenjun's affair, they were all on the same side on this .
Just as everyone was scratching their heads, Duan Yi looked around and said, "Actually, I want to clarify something . Has everyone considered seizing the opportunity and simply killing Wu Yu? Of course, the disclaimer is that we will have no information to carry this out . "
"Kill?" They sobered up . According to Gong Shenjun's plan, they had only planned to severely punish him . They had not planned to go this far .
"Princess You Xue favors him so much . If he dies, we'll be in some trouble, right?" someone said doubtfully .
Gong Shenjun's jaw was set firm . "Not necessarily . After all, that person is not from the Dark North Kingdom . And yet he uses the Princess to do as he pleases in our territory . If this keeps up, we'll all suffer . Give him an inch, and he'll take a mile! Besides, if he's too close with the Princess, she'll end up distancing herself from us . . . . "
Duan Yi said, "In truth, I feel that this person must die . "
Yin Xuan looked up at him and said, "If brother Duan feels that way, then so do I . After all, the Princess is young and easily deceived . "
Seeing them all have such an attitude, Gong Shenjun hardened his own heart as well, saying, "Since the conversation has come this far, let's take a vote . Majority wins . If we decide to kill him, the rest must keep the secret .
Saying thus, he raised his hand .

Duan Yi and Yin Xuan raised their hands . They were all eminent and powerful people .
In a flash, they had more than three, and soon everyone raised their hands . After all, this did not concern them greatly at the moment . Even if the matter was pursued in the end, it would be hard for it to affect them .
"Good, then we will switch targets . Since he is in the Alternate World, we will aim to assassinate him there . Of course, we must do it in a way that is completely secret," Duan Yi said quickly as he glowered .
One young beauty said, "But we just received the news, didn't we? This Wu Yu has escaped our clutches . How are we to find him?"
Duan Yi said, "Actually, although you were the ones to seek me out this time as I am Wu Yu's dark north general, I too have the intent to kill him . Therefore, when I learned that he was going to the Alternate World, I made every preparation . "
Immediate interest .
"He’s just a barbarian from the Demon Sealing Continent, and he dares to strut about our Dark North . It's too much . Go on . What do you have planned?"
Duan Yi said, "This idea may sound a little complex, but the key is the Alternate Creatures in the Alternate World . They are all born of the cold and gloom, which is why the Alternate Creatures all have a heat-related desire . Anytime they meet something hot, they feel uncomfortable, and an urge to destroy it arises . I've seen Wu Yu . He's clearly a Yan Huang tribesman, and there has never been a Yan Huang tribesman in the Alternate World before . But I’m guessing that the heat and explosiveness from his body will subtly attract many Alternate Creatures to attack him . Especially the extremely savage Alternate Creatures . Wu Yu himself definitely does not know this . "
Everyone was awed by this fact . Gong Shenjun gave it an approving thumbs-up . "He doesn't know, and neither did we . Do you mean that we don't even need to act, and Alternate Creatures will kill him?"
Duan Yi shook his head, saying, "That would be leaving too much up to fate . After all, he cannot wander too deep into the Alternate World, and the most savage of Alternate Creatures would not know of his existence . This time, I have to make a trip to the Alternate World . "
"What will you do?"
Duan Yi was very direct . He took out a fist-sized rock from his Sumeru Pouch . It glowed with golden flames . When he took it out, the temperature of the opulently furnished room rose abruptly, and everyone's faces were flushed from the heat .
"What treasure is this?" they asked in wonder .
"It's called the Sun's Incandescence . It has seven spiritual marks, nothing too special, but it has one unique characteristic . It has a powerful capacity to automatically search for sources of heat and absorb them . In the cold gloom of the Alternate World, Wu Yu is perhaps the only source of heat . Even without a tracking talisman, I can find Wu Yu with this Sun's Incandescence!"

Everyone exclaimed .
Yin Xuan was very impressed . "What a wondrous object you have . It seems like you've done much in preparation after learning of Wu Yu's existence . "
Duan Yi did not hide it . "Indeed I did . Except I was not sure if we should kill him before this, which was why I did not take it out . "
"How do you plan to carry this out? Kill Wu Yu personally?"
Duan Yi gave a hoarse laugh . "Of course not . But let me remind everyone . The Sun's Incandescence not only seeks for heat sources, but is one itself . If I bring it into a deep zone, it will definitely rouse the strong Alternate Creatures . If I find a suitable one, I will lure it and then use Sun's Incandescence to locate Wu Yu, leading the Alternate Creature there . When the Alternate Creature finds Wu Yu, I will stow the Sun's Incandescence, and there will only be one detestable Wu Yu for the Alternate Creature to finish off . "
Saying thus, everyone looked around at each other and burst into applause .
Everyone broke into laughter .
As they laughed, they understood that Duan Yi had long prepared to kill Wu Yu off .
He had only borrowed the excuse of the tracking talisman's failure to suggest it .
The way that he could make such thorough preparations in short order showed how terrifying he was . Yin Xuan looked at Duan Yi with respect . They were actually rivals . He had a higher status, but now Duan Yi looked far more ferocious than he was .
Someone asked, "This way, the only problem is that Yin Ying and Wu Yu will be together . What will we do if she dies to the Alternate Creature's attack as well?"
They looked to Yin Xuan .
Yin Xuan smirked, saying, "That kid doesn't die easy . She's a clever one . "
After all, they had bickered and competed since young . If not for the fact that Yin Xuan was a guy, he might not have been able to win over Yin Ying . Besides, the most powerful person in their family, Minister Yin, favored granddaughters .
Duan Yi said, "That would be best . I will see if I can find a way to draw her away . After all, if she dies, the investigation will be troublesome . "
"Alright, that's settled then . " Gong Shenjun smiled .
Duan Yi narrowed his eyes and looked around at the others . "Most importantly, only we can know of today's discussion . No one is allowed to leak information, or this friendship is severed, and I'm sure that everyone would be scorned by all . "
All of them smiled, and Gong Shenjun said, "Don't worry . Treat all of us as if we were from the same camp . "
Duan Yi smiled back in answer .
This was a plan of consensus . Even if it went awry, no one could do anything about all of them . After all, they were the future of the Dark North Capital .
"Since that is the case, then wait here for my good news . I'm going in . "
It was very normal for a newly-appointed dark north general to enter the Alternate World . Dark north generals were authorized to go into the Alternate World at any time .
And at this time, Wu Yu and Yin Ying were locked in an intense battle with Alternate Creatures .
They had recently reached the Level 4 Zone . Wu Yu had not expected the Alternate Creatures to increase in number so dramatically, to an unreasonable extent .
Although they were gaining merits at a furious pace, Wu Yu was very suspicious . Seeing Yin Ying grinning from ear to ear after each battle, he fixed her with a look and pressed her . "Are you hiding something from me? Tell all, or we part here . "
"No, it's nothing big . Don't be petty . " Yin Ying pouted at him .
"Say it . "
"That, well . . . the Alternate Creatures of the Alternate World hate fiery things . Your body burns hot, and these Alternate Creatures will be lured here once they near . Because of that, we have such results . This shows that your body is a great lure that drives the Alternate Creatures wild… . "
