Good news?
John couldn’t help but smile bitterly when he heard that word.
“Friend, don’t joke around. What good news could there possibly be for us now?”
Another Wang Zun clenched his teeth and said, “That’s right. Mr. Smith, look at our current situation—hiding in a dark, damp cave, living in constant fear every day. The best news for us now would be if those self-righteous bastards all dropped dead.”
Another person said, “Who doesn’t know that they’re after our resources and wealth? The so-called hunters are merely an excuse for them.”
Smith looked at John and the others, laughing heartily: “No, I said it’s good news, just good news. Because from the moment we found you, you can choose whether to walk out or continue staying here.”
“Going out there means death. Are you really willing to fight those guys to the end?”
Smith said, “No. If you choose to walk out now, no one will dare to touch you.”
John gritted his teeth and said, “You’re kidding, right? Can we even survive walking out like this? Even if we do, it would be surrendering, wouldn’t it?”
“Do you think I’m joking, Mr. John?” Smith said seriously. “Now we have arrived at Fangang, and we are under Lu Yu’s protection. If you all are willing to return with us, you will equally be under Lu Yu’s protection.”
The person holding the Star-keeping artifact was greatly astonished and said, “Friend, you must be joking, right? Lu Yu would protect people like us? Although Lu Yu values loyalty and righteousness, he never does anything without purpose. What exactly did you pay in return for receiving his protection?”
Wang Zun felt he had figured something out. Clenching his teeth, he looked at Smith and the others with disdain and said, “Mr. Smith, we respected you because of your integrity. But now you’ve actually surrendered to Lu Yu—have you become their lackeys too?”
Hearing this, Smith did not get angry at all. He burst into laughter and said, “Mr. William, you guessed wrong. Not only have we not surrendered, but we’ve also secured an area in the harbor for defense.”
“What?” John and the others found it even more impossible.
Lu Yu will give you a region without any reason.
They had also heard about the changes in Fanggang during their escape in recent days; those ten zones were like miniature versions of the first domain.
There is a protective shield and a wall made of Starling ore.
With only ten regions, it becomes even more precious.
The more they listened, the more absurd it seemed to them.
“I know you must not believe me. But there are conditions involved,” Smith said seriously, explaining the process of obtaining this area and the conditions attached.
This made their hearts beat faster.
Lu Yu did not ask for their surrender, nor did he want their wealth.
Just need them to hold a specific area.
Especially the domain guardians, defensive towers, and the terrifying attributes and defensive capabilities of the protective shields left them astonished.
“Alright, I’ll go.” Wang Zun, the Starbearer shard holder, clapped his hands without hesitation. “Surrendering to those guys and offering all our wealth? I can’t do that. But helping Lu Yu defend a territory? That I can manage. If that territory falls, I believe there won’t be anywhere left for us to hide anyway. At most, we’ll just die.”
“Yeah, Chief, I’m with you. Even if I die, I won’t bow down to those guys in uniforms.”
“I agree. Lu Yu’s conditions are trivial. The important thing is that we no longer have to hide or live in constant fear every day.”
Everyone agreed, their faces beaming with excitement.
To them, Lu Yu’s conditions were hardly conditions at all.
What they care about is the dignity of the strong.
Lu Yu gave them shelter, without forcing them to surrender or seizing their wealth.
“Then let’s go,” Smith said happily.
These more than a hundred people are not weaklings either.
Those who manage to escape despite being hunted worldwide are the true elites and kings of the underworld forces.
John said, “Let’s not go to Fanggang first. I know a hideout of the Dark Legion. If we haven’t been noticed, there should still be about a hundred of them hiding there. Perhaps we can take them along too.”
“What are we waiting for then? Let’s go,” Smith said excitedly. “That area is big enough to accommodate two hundred thousand people. If we want to hold it, we’ll need at least around fifty thousand. Of course, the more people we have, the better.”
“We’ll go inside to get our things. All of our stuff is in there; please wait a moment.”
John and others rushed back into the cave, placed box after box of items into the storage pearl, and then walked out again.
However, thousands of powerful presences were approaching from the mountains and forests around them.
John gritted his teeth and said, “Damn it, those bastards have caught up.”
Wang Zun said solemnly, “Our location has been compromised as well. It will be difficult to get out this time.”
Smith, unafraid, smiled and said, “Everyone, rest assured. I believe there’s no one in this world who dares to oppose Fanggang. Unless they’re confident they can kill us all without letting out a single word of news, otherwise they will face the vengeance of a king.”
John and the others suddenly realized that they were now under Lu Yu’s protection.
Lu Yu has a king by his side.
Provoking Lu Yu is equivalent to provoking a king.
The countless auras from all directions grew closer and closer. Finally, over ten King-level experts, accompanied by a thousand cultivators, surrounded John and the others in front of the small hill.
A tall, brown-haired, blue-eyed king said coldly, “Mr. John, you’ve been hiding quite well. We never expected you to have a base in a place like this. If we hadn’t captured someone who knew about it, we would never have found this place.”
John stared at the king, gritting his teeth, and said, “It’s Jamie and Hulk. Now only these two know about us. Both of them deserve to die. Why didn’t you kill them?”
“Haha, we can’t kill Jamie. He’s someone with special skills, and we still need him to help us before the apocalypse tide arrives. As for the rest of you, you should know what choice to make!”
John laughed heartily and said, “I won’t surrender, nor will I die. Dear Mr. Ross, now that we are under Lu Yu’s protection, do you still dare to make a move?”
“What?” The brown-haired Royal Noble abruptly widened his eyes in shock and exclaimed, “You’re under Lu Yu’s protection?”
“That’s right, they’ve already agreed to return to the harbor with us,” said Smith. “I think Mr. Ross should have received the news as well, right?”
“You’re joking, right?” Ross gritted his teeth and said, “Do you really think you can escape just like this?”
They had already heard the news and received messages from their superiors.
I know well that a group of people fled to Fanggang and received shelter there.
Could it be that—
Ross suddenly understood.
He is indeed a senior colonel, and a man of profound insight and careful planning.
In an instant, he figured out all the connections and suddenly understood Lu Yu’s purpose in protecting these people.
Smith said, “Mr. Ross. Mr. Lu Yu stated that anyone under his protection is of no concern to him, even if they had committed murder or arson in the past. Starting from now, as long as we follow the rules of the Fanggang, whoever dares to touch us, he will personally intervene.”
Ross stood in place, his hands bulging with prominent blue veins that pulsed continuously.
“Retreat,” Ross waved his hand, reluctantly giving the order.
He could take action. But he couldn’t guarantee that no one would run away. If even one person escaped, they would have to face Lu Yu and a king.
Lu Yu actually said such a thing.
It is important that he must report his suspicions to his superiors.
If that’s really the case, then Fanggang will be gathering the most elite members of the entire underground forces.
Ross and others retreated quickly.
John and the others hadn’t faced these military soldiers like this in a long time; they felt a surge of triumph and burst out laughing heartily.
…
In the heart of a vast African desert, within the ruins of an ancient city, several people discovered over a hundred warriors whose bodies had been nearly buried by the sands.
…
On a deserted island in the middle of the vast ocean, a person suddenly appeared and immediately dove into the rocks of the island.
…
Deep within the Arctic ice fields, amidst the frigid ice caves, hundreds of people surrounded a man, cheering loudly.
…
Three hundred individuals affiliated with the underground forces of the Sixth Region have emerged in countless secret locations around the globe.
Then dozens, hundreds of people were heading towards Fanggang.
They entered the sixth zone and showed the first smile since the war began.
The news spread worldwide, not only about Lu Yu’s protection, but more importantly, about the formidable defensive power of a certain region.
Numerous powerful figures from previously underground forces emerged from hiding and headed to Fanggang.
Smith brought back nearly a thousand people from three organizations, and Wang Zun brought thirteen people.
John found an organization consisting of one hundred and seven people, including two named Wang Zun.
The elite members of the underground forces, being hunted down, managed to escape to Huaxia with all their might. Once they appeared within ten miles outside Fanggang City, no one dared to pursue or kill them anymore.
At that moment, the entire world was stunned.
Lu Yu is openly opposing all the major powers in the world.
“This is something only he dares to do,” many Chinese people said, their faces beaming with excitement.
After all, Lu Yu is a person from Huaxia.
The port city has become lively.
Zone Six welcomed an increasing number of newcomers, with over 60,000 people joining within just half a month, and tens of thousands more were on their way.
Nearly seventy kings, over thirty thousand warriors with the power of ten thousand, and even one warrior who possessed the rudimentary form of a king-making skill.
Many factions chose to stop their pursuit upon learning that these individuals were under Lu Yu’s protection, but two organizations in the United States did not cease their actions.
Only a few of the three hundred warriors who were originally heading to Fanggang managed to escape back to Fanggang after being killed, and one of them was among the initial three hundred who had entered the Sixth Zone.
“Provocative, huh? Then die.” That was Lu Yu’s reply.
Later that day, Lu Yu and the Undead King joined forces. The two powerful experts showed no mercy and directly eliminated all the high-ranking members of the two organizations in a single night.
The entire world was shaken.
These two organizations together have seven Kings and over five hundred experts with the power of Ten Thousand Honors. Even if they aren’t strong enough, they are still among the most renowned in the United States.
Moreover, this is on American territory.
The representative from the U.S. military who came to persuade him was shocked so much by the King of Immortality that he spat blood.
The leader of an organization, who considered himself to have a good relationship with Lu Yu, attempted to forcefully intervene but was sent flying by Lu Yu and nearly killed with a single palm strike.
The two of them swept through the two major organizations, unstoppable, until the sky turned bright and they departed, leaving behind only ruins and corpses.
Many organizations have become clear.
A high-ranking British military official said solemnly, “The Doomsday Tide is coming, and Lu Yu no longer has any restraints.”
A high-ranking general in the U.S. military said, “This is a warning to all organizations! Fang Gang is also starting to exert its power. Are those who dare to block them all doomed to die?”
An elder from the Celestial Deity Organization opened his eyes and gazed into the distance, saying, “Lu Yu will no longer hold back.”
