Lu Yu did not oppose such conditions.
After all, the hunter even assassinated him. If this isn’t resolved, it’s likely that no one in Fanggang will be able to escape soon.
This is something that concerns everyone, so it’s only natural that he shouldn’t have to bear the burden alone.
When Lu Yu asked this question, everyone felt it was only natural.
The Sky-Sundering King said, “None of us have time to waste, so if we’re going to lure them, we should use a strong dose. There’s nothing better than greed to attract people.”
A British military representative said, “The question is, what are we going to use?”
The Sky-Sundering King said, “Stellar artifacts are merely weapons, ultimately external objects, not representing one’s true strength. Therefore, this is only one of the conditions. These people hunt down those who possess or show early signs of王者skills (king-making abilities) simply because they want to obtain powerful skills—to become kings themselves or to reach a level capable of rivaling kings. To lure them in, we must appeal to what moves their hearts the most. Stellar artifacts are a necessity, but we must also offer a variety of other things—enough to allow a person to break through in the shortest possible time and develop their own nascent王者skill. Of course, money is a must. A fortune of trillions would likely be impossible for any individual to refuse. Finally, consider something like a suit of armor—”
The Sky-splitting King turned his gaze toward Lu Yu.
Everyone understood that for other things required for the journey, the star artifacts and the ninety thousand sets of armor would likely have to come from Lu Yu.
The American on the stage said, “The fastest way to acquire an initial form of the King’s skill is actually to use various top-grade materials and items to forcefully enhance one’s abilities. This will cost an astronomical price.”
“That’s right, I do know of two materials that can enhance human potential. If we add the evolution drug as well, it would be enough to boost this person’s potential to over seventy percent.”
“I also know a method. If combined with a large amount of evolution fluid and evolution pills, it can enhance a person’s potential by more than 76%.”
Everyone began to speak, sharing methods to enhance their potential. Improving one’s potential, combined with the use of props and items, makes it not difficult for a person to develop the initial form of the skills needed to become a king.
Of course, the reasons for having Lu Yu step forward go beyond merely presenting the star artifacts, armor, evolution pills, and enhancement solutions.
More importantly, Lu Yu is known for his clear sense of right and wrong, and his unwavering, resolute personality.
The reason both enemies and allies are willing to trade with Lu Yu and Fang Gang is precisely because of Lu Yu himself.
Lu Yu never goes back on his word.
There are hunters who, as long as he is willing to step forward, would not only be willing to return the items but also guarantee that they mean him no harm.
Even if this person had previously killed or ambushed others, everything would be forgiven and forgotten.
Adding the fact that there is a king in Fanggang, this statement alone is sufficient.
Soon, everyone had contributed a portion of items.
Everything that needed to be sacrificed was already decided.
Lu Yu paid a much higher price—offering a star artifact, a top-tier armor, a thousand drops of evolution liquid, and a hundred drops of evolution elixir. The cost was higher than the total price others paid combined.
Therefore, everyone was willing to compensate Lu Yu with five sets of star artifact materials.
Moreover, the main ingredients are all top-grade.
In order to balance everyone’s contributions, the meeting lasted a full two days before things finally settled down.
At this moment, everyone exhaled in relief and wore smiles on their faces.
They didn’t know whether the hunters would be tempted. Anyway, these things had already stirred desire in them.
Xu Fei finally witnessed what true magnanimity and a giant figure truly meant.
These people talk about materials worth hundreds of billions without batting an eyelid.
Lu Yu, especially when the final total was calculated, the value of these items exceeded thirteen trillion.
But for those present, each party was only putting forward a little over a hundred billion.
But thirteen trillion yuan—that was something Xu Fei hadn’t even dared to imagine.
And these were all meant to deal with the Hunter.
Of course, in the end, if any Hunters are willing to cooperate, they still need to pay two trillion to the Celestial Deity Organization, which will then have the Soul Seer from Yuzhi Star responsible for locating the remaining Hunters.
Two trillion is the reward.
Someone said, “Mr. Lu, do you know when the star artifact will be completed? We’d like to go back and announce the news.”
“Yes, Mr. Lu. We can’t afford to delay on this matter. We all know that time is running out.”
“That’s right. Once the Hunters have cleaned up the mess, it’s time to deal with the underground organizations. They’ve become increasingly brazen over the years because we’ve left them unchecked.”
Lu Yu drank the water on the table in front of him and said, “The earlier, the better, of course.”
Lu Yu stood up as he spoke, then walked with his hands behind his back to a figure behind him and said, “Mr. Richard, do you think the Hunter deserves to die?”
Richard didn’t expect Lu Yu to appear behind him. He turned around, looked at Lu Yu, and asked in confusion, “Mr. Lu, we’ve been discussing this for so long precisely to eliminate the Hunters—of course we have to kill them!”
“That’s settled, then,” Lu Yu said, placing his hand on Richard’s shoulder. “But tell me, what about a few days ago, when you and nine mysterious men ambushed me? Shouldn’t I have killed you then?”
“What?” Richard was taken aback and looked at Lu Yu. “A few days ago, I ambushed you? Mr. Lu, are you joking? Why would I ambush you?”
At this moment, the atmosphere around became particularly gloomy, and many people sensed an unusual presence in the air.
Lu Yu’s words moved many people.
If what Lu Yu said is true, then this matter is not so simple.
One part knew that Lu Yu had been cultivating in the Demon Hunter Plains for some time and had not left the Beast Battlefield.
Lu Yu’s position was fixed, making it easy to set a trap for him.
Could it be that the hunter set up a deadly trap, but failed in the attempt!
Everyone turned their gaze toward Richard.
The atmosphere in this hall is very strange and unsettling!
“A few days ago, I thought that move of mine couldn’t hurt you. But it seems my technique pierced through the void itself—you are indeed injured.”
Richard slammed the table and stood up, his voice low and menacing: “Mr. Lu, what exactly are you implying? We may be opponents, but are you trying to cause me trouble by such means and attempting to get rid of me opportunistically?”
“Still refusing to admit it?” Lu Yu suddenly tightened his right hand, forcing Richard back into his seat. “The force that struck you is my killing power, the result of over a decade of effort and countless energy spent to evolve it. I didn’t expect part of it to remain inside your body when I hit you. From a distance, I couldn’t feel it at all. But now, with just three tables separating us, I can sense it very clearly.”
As Lu Yu spoke, his left hand lifted and made a grasping motion in the empty air.
Suddenly, five muffled popping sounds — “bang, bang…” — erupted from Richard’s chest. Blood then began to seep from his torso, and from his body emerged five thin streams of black mist, which floated toward Lu Yu’s palm and were absorbed into it.
Everyone around felt the murderous intent within the five strands of energy—it was the unique soul power of a Murderous Inheritance Holder!
Many people immediately understood.
Powerful auras locked onto Richard.
There was anger, a murderous intent, and an aura so intense it seemed as if it could devour Richard whole.
Richard’s face turned pale, never expecting that Lu Yu’s attack would leave a trace of killing intent within his body.
Lu Yu wouldn’t have thought about it at all if he hadn’t seen Richard; at the time of his attack, he hadn’t realized that his soul force had actually penetrated into Richard’s body.
These soul energies were connected to his own soul, and as soon as Richard approached, Lu Yu could feel them.
“Lu Yu, you—” Richard suddenly slammed both hands on the table, his Royal Power erupted, his body arched backward as he charged headlong at Lu Yu with his back leading the charge.
Bang!
Lu Yu’s body swayed slightly as he pressed his five fingers firmly into Richard’s shoulder with a powerful push.
Richard’s back was slammed and pinned firmly in place.
“Do you really think you can succeed with another surprise attack after failing once?” Lu Yu coldly snarled, tightening his grip with his five fingers, attempting to crush Richard’s shoulder.
Hum.
Lu Yu clenched his fingers in the air, and Richard vanished.
Lu Yu moved even faster. His ten fingers, radiating a cold gleam, suddenly tore forcefully outward in opposite directions across the empty space before him.
The void tore open, and two blood-soaked bodies fell out, split vertically as if attacked by a wild beast.
“It’s really him!”
No one believed it.
Richard is already a King’s Honor, having reached the peak of his power. Why would he still choose to become a Hunter?
Even if he possesses the skills of a king, he can no longer become one.
If they still had any doubts when they sensed soul power emanating from Richard’s body, those doubts vanished the moment Richard launched his attack.
If one’s conscience were clear, would they resist at a time like this?
Richard’s two halves of the body struggled to crawl on the ground, countless granulation tissues growing to bridge the gap, pulling the separated parts back together for repair.
The representative from the Australian military had already turned pale and stood aside, not knowing how to explain the situation.
They never expected that Richard would be the assassin.
Richard’s body had recovered, and his first thought was to escape.
Boom.
Wang Wei suppressed the situation, and the surrounding void instantly froze, rendering movement impossible.
Richard coughed up blood violently and collapsed to his knees on the ground.
“Lu Yu, I truly regret not killing you back then.” Richard, knowing he was finished, pounded the ground furiously and screamed in rage.
“You almost succeeded back then. Unfortunately, you won’t get another chance,” Lu Yu said, glancing around at the crowd before pointing at Richard. “The hunter you’re looking for—I’ve found him for you.”
At this moment, everyone reacted. The hunter they were after was right in front of them.
With a clear objective and the ability to foresee star souls, wouldn’t it be easier to capture other hunters?
Bai Yang said happily, “This is no problem. As long as he is the hunter, it will be easy to handle.”
A representative of the British military said coldly, “Richard, you’ve gone too far. We’ve had several dealings with you, yet you dared to ambush our soldiers. Who possesses the prototype of the King’s Skill? If you don’t tell us, we’ll skin you alive.”
As he spoke, the representative of the British military and several British men angrily stepped forward to confront Richard.
“Wait a moment.”
Lu Yu said, “Hold on, don’t get violent yet. Let’s clarify the terms first—thirteen trillion, just for this one Hunter, right? Now, without needing any bait, I’ve already found this Hunter for you. So how should the reward be calculated?”
Everyone was stunned and turned their eyes toward Lu Yu together.
They have already negotiated all the terms. Excluding the two trillion reward offered to the Zhi Xing Hun (pre-knowing star soul), the thirteen trillion was purely to lure in a single hunter.
Now the hunter doesn’t need to use bait anymore.
Lu Yu has already helped them catch one, so how should the money be handled?
In an instant, everyone understood.
Damn it, I’ve been tricked!
