Chapter 893: Arrival

The battle was over.

Lu Yu frowned.

Because the Blood King actually demanded that Lu Yu agree to a condition.

“Request!” Lu Yu said. “Do you want to go back on your word?”

The Blood King said, “You may leave this dungeon. However, our agreement not to kill you doesn’t mean others won’t. Therefore, if you wish to leave this place, it would be best to head toward the dungeon of our group.”

“There’s no need for that. I have my own way to leave. As for you two, just stop causing me trouble, and we’ll be even,” said Lu Yu. “If you have any other requests, just say them now.”

The Demon Blood King said, “I hope you don’t utter a single word about the battle that happened here today. Just pretend as if nothing ever occurred here, alright?”

When the Demon Blood King spoke thus, Yan Luo Wang and the others around him nodded in agreement.

That’s exactly what they’re thinking, but they just can’t bring themselves to ask.

The Three-Eyed King glanced gratefully at the elderly man beside him.

Thousands of kings joining forces failed to kill Lu Yu, and instead, Lu Yu managed to kill a city lord in retaliation.

With such a result being made public, where would the dignity of these city lords remain?

The city lord is renowned as invincible within the dungeon; they are peerless强者, standing above thousands, unmatched by anyone.

If the outcome of this battle were to spread, they would truly have no face to show in the underworld.

Most importantly, the other party turned out not even to be a king, which made them even more ashamed.

So it’s best to treat everything that happened here as if nothing ever occurred.

Lu Yu heard the Blood Demon King’s request and saw the expectant looks in everyone else’s eyes; how could he not understand what this meant?

He looked around with a smile and asked, “Everyone, is this your request, or is it just one person’s?”

The faces of King Three-Eyed and others changed instantly, and many people’s expressions became unnatural.

Lu Yu burst into laughter, laughing heartily.

Lu Yu said, “Up to now, I dare not say that I have defeated all of them.”

However, he could also be considered as having been passively resisting all along.

And now these people were speaking up to save them, which made him feel quite pleased.

King Three-Eyed and others listened to Lu Yu’s voice, finding it extremely grating.

The Blood Demon King glared at Lu Yu with clenched teeth, thinking for a long time before saying, “Is this the request of all of us?”

“So?” Lu Yu drawled, casting a slow glance around. “I couldn’t help but notice that everyone seems awfully quiet. Does that mean you disagree?”

Countless people turned pale with fury,恨不得 tearing Lu Yu apart at this moment.

However, the barrier was shattered, and even if they attacked again, their chances of killing Lu Yu were not very high.

If Lu Yu escapes at a time like this, it would be a disaster for the underground cities.

After all, Lu Yu was only one person. If he went berserk and caused chaos in the underworld, even individual city lords could potentially be killed.

Now they clearly know that Lu Yu is deliberately trying to provoke them, but they can only swallow their anger.

King Yama gritted his teeth and said, “I suppose that’s my request then!”

King Yama spoke each word with great effort, his steel teeth nearly grinding to pieces. It was extremely difficult for him to say these words aloud.

The Three-Eyed King took a deep breath and said, “Lu Yu, I hope you can forget everything that happened today.”

“Since it’s your request, shouldn’t there be a ‘please’ added?” Lu Yu asked.

The Three-Eyed King clenched his fists, lightning flickering in his vertical eye, but he finally let go, his voice a cold whisper: “I advise you to forget what happened today.”

King Three-Eyed said this, not knowing how much determination it took.

Some people felt that he had completely turned into a wild beast on the verge of madness.

Perhaps with just a little more provocation, the Three-Eyed King would soon erupt.

Lu Yu laughed loudly and said, “Alright then. Since even Lord Three-Eyed King has spoken thus, I shall act as if this matter never occurred. I have never come to this Sea of Blood. However—”

Lu Yu glanced at the group and said, “If anyone else leaks what’s happening here, it will have nothing to do with me.”

King Yama snorted coldly, “That’s none of your concern. We will handle our own matters. Just make sure you don’t go around spreading rumors.”

Lu Yu smiled and said, “Since you’re all so sincere, I think I’ll keep my identity as the poison master a bit of a secret.”

Lu Yu said, then slapped the poisoned person beside him.

Once the ruler of a city, he now stands emotionless, a puppet under Lu Yu’s control.

The expressions of King of Three Eyes and others turned very grim.

However, when they heard Lu Yu say that they needed to conceal the identity of the poison cultivator, they couldn’t help but feel relieved.

Besides Lu Yu’s problem, Luo Chen is also a big troublemaker.

If Lu Yu hides Luo Chen’s true face, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After the underworld returned to the surface, the rulers of various cities have remained at the peak of their power, causing many to fear them.

If someone as powerful as Xue Ji were to slay Luo Chen.

Then they can still accept it.

But Lu Yu’s strength was only more than 20 million zuns, and even in the advantageous underground world, he was killed by someone from the surface.

This is indeed a blow to the underworld’s dignity.

In front of everyone’s watchful eyes, Lu Yu placed a set of armor with a million-fold defense onto Luo Chen’s body.

“Lu Yu, you may leave now,” said the King with Three Eyes. “None of us will attack you, and I also hope you won’t come back to cause us any more trouble.”

“Rest assured, everyone! As long as you don’t provoke me first, I won’t cause you any trouble,” said Lu Yu. “I’d like to stay in the underground world for a while longer. I hope none of you have any objections?”

“My city does not welcome you,” hissed the Three-Eyed King. “Unless you are passing through my city to leave the underground world, I do not welcome you at any other time.”

Lu Yu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t go there. I just want to wander around the underground world to find something I need.”

King Yama said, “Lu Yu, remember this: we won’t go out of our way to cause you trouble, so please don’t go out of your way to cause us any either.”

“You can rest assured about that. I don’t like to provoke trouble. However, if you all insist on stirring up trouble with me, I won’t let it slide either,” Lu Yu replied with a smile, revealing his snow-white teeth, which sent chills down many people’s spines.

Now that they’ve provoked Lu Yu, they don’t dare think much of it anymore.

This human being is absolutely a madman.

“Everyone, farewell.”

Lu Yu disappeared into the blood-red sky with the poisoned person.

Someone whispered softly, “It would have been better not to meet you!”

Lu Yu could hear it clearly from a distance and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Although this battle was somewhat defensive, it left Lu Yu filled with frustration.

But in the end, he managed to take down someone like Luo Chen, a city lord, and his pent-up anger was finally somewhat released.

Lu Yu did not go to the cave where he had come down.

As he had told Yanluowang and others, he had no intention of leaving here yet.

Although he obtained the Blood Soul Pearl.

However, Lu Yu had another goal: the Blood-Weeping Stone!

At the time when the blood tide appeared, he traveled in and out of several cities to gather some information.

Besides the few that have been sold, there are indeed other places where the Blood-Weeping Stones can still be found.

However, it is very secluded, and only a few people can pass through.

It cost Lu Yu thousands of billions of star-spirit stones to learn from someone that although Blood-Tear Stones originate in the Blood Sea, there exists a beast called the Blood-Devouring Beast at the edge of the Blood Sea.

They are natural enemies of the Blood-Weeping Beasts by birth.

The blood-swallowing beast often uses animal carcasses to lure the blood-weeping beast onto land, and then hunts and kills it.

Unlike the blood-crying beast.

The blood-devouring beast has strong mobility and great speed on land.

They can even evade the tongue stings of a King-level Blood-weeping Beast.

It would be very difficult to find泣血石 (Qixue Stone) in a sea of blood. However, if we search within the lair of a blood-swallowing beast, we should be able to find some.

Lu Yu was searching for the Blood-Swallowing Beast among the mountains and stone forests at the edge of the Blood Sea with the poisoned person, Luo Chen.

After several days of searching, he barely managed to find some traces of the Blood-Sucking Beasts.

However, when he arrived at the nest, he found it already empty, with obvious signs of a struggle around the area.

Lu Yu also sensed the presence of the Blood-eyed King within it.

“Arrived a step too late,” Lu Yu sighed, continuing his search.

However, he didn’t have time to continue searching any further.

Due to the message transmitted by the Illusion Demon, someone from that star had arrived on Earth, and their power was extremely strong.

And this person brought the will of the gods, claiming to be the servant of the divine.

Lu Yu returned to the surface through the underground passage within the Blood Sea City, bringing the poisoned person with him to find the Three-Eyed King.

He stirred up a storm in the underworld, creating a sensation that shook the world.

However, on the ground, no information was leaked out at all.

People have absolutely no information about what is happening in the underworld.

When Lu Yu returned to Fanggang, he also received the complete information.

More than just one person came down from that star; there were hundreds.

These hundred people all claimed to be servants of God, possessing formidable strength.

A dungeon lord engaged in a conflict with this divine servant and was defeated in less than half an hour.

The strength of a divine servant is absolutely comparable to that of a god’s spokesperson.

They traveled through all the cities on Earth, informing the leader of each city that within three months, each city must select ten powerful individuals to go to the Divine Star.

Lu Yu frowned upon hearing Liu Xing’s explanation and asked, “What if I don’t choose and don’t go either?”

Liu Xing said, “Actually, someone asked this question before you came back. The answer given was that if they disagree, the city will be punished.”

“What kind of punishment?” Lu Yu frowned, sensing that Liu Xing’s tone was unusual.

Liu Xing inhaled deeply and said solemnly, “They will endure attacks from the combined forces of thirty thousand cities from the Divine Star until their destruction! The Divine Servant said this is the second wave of the End Times Tide!”

Lu Yu exhaled sharply and said coldly, “So it means we have no choice but to send someone now? A combined attack from three cities? What a bold claim! How many people can they actually gather?”

“Mr. Lu, this is no joke. In fact, the one hundred divine servants this time are merely one percent of the combat strength of a single city.”

“What!” Lu Yu was genuinely surprised this time.

If these people are not joking, is a joint attack by thirty thousand cities necessary?

If the army of a city were to descend upon it, the city itself might well be destroyed.

Liu Xing said bitterly, “Moreover, each city must send ten powerful individuals; if even one is missing, destruction will come directly.”

“Ten people, can’t we even choose this?” Lu Yu asked.

“Mr. Lu, this really isn’t that easy,” Liu Xing said bitterly. “The Divine Servant left behind a stone tablet for testing. To become a selected warrior, one must leave an imprint on this tablet; only those who pass the test are considered qualified. If one doesn’t meet the requirements, they fail. If a city cannot gather ten qualified individuals, it will be destroyed just the same.”

“What kind of person can be considered qualified?” Lu Yu continued to ask.
