However, he didn't care about how to address him, nor did he say much. He just didn't know where Zhao Dezheng's trust in him came from.

Just as Li Yu was preparing to have Zhao Dezheng lead the way to strike at the heart of the stronghold and completely eliminate its core, waves of energy fluctuations came from within.

Those distinguished guests who had been left out finally adapted to the 'new materials' and gradually recovered.

The energy fluctuations were mixed together, some strong and some weak. Although they were far from their peak, they showed that they were not helpless lambs to the slaughter.

Most of the distinguished guests were elderly, and they looked at Li Yu and his group with no sign of panic, but rather with a strange sense of confidence.

After all, their family background and foundation are there for all to see. Their influence is deeply entrenched, and any move they make will have far-reaching consequences. No one would want to offend all of them at once.

In particular, several elderly men with white hair, although not very strong, held a pivotal position in the family.

Li Yu focused his attention and discovered that although these distinguished guests varied in strength, they were all Awakened!

Zhao Dezheng had previously said that keeping these people around might be useful.

But Li Yu felt that these people had sensitive identities, unpredictable thoughts, and were all awakened individuals, so taking them along would be very troublesome.

Stay? Even less likely.

Who knows if they might sabotage things behind the scenes, or provoke the Changsheng Sect to launch an even more insane revenge?

As Li Yu pondered, a hint of coldness gradually rose in his eyes, and an invisible pressure spread out like a cold tide.

Let's just get rid of these VIPs once and for all.

They could feel the undisguised, chilling killing intent emanating from Li Yu, as well as the suffocatingly powerful pressure emanating from him.

The composure on the faces of the distinguished guests could no longer be maintained, and they began to panic.
