Chapter 750: Bounty

Many people wanted to take a knife to their throats, while others regretted to the point of their insides turning green.

Their only hope now is that Xu Fei has absolutely nothing to do with Ling Yang. If there’s really a connection, they’re truly asking for trouble!

Being able to connect with Fanggang is something many people are desperately trying to achieve, with countless others breaking their heads over it.

They had it all figured out!

He indeed had such an opportunity, but still missed it.

When Xu Fei heard Lu Yu asking about her relationship with Ling Yang, tears involuntarily streamed down her cheeks.

However, Xu Fei gritted his teeth, wiped away the tears from his eyes, and said, “That’s my father!”

Countless people felt dizzy, and Brother Liu and others were so distressed that their intestines felt as if they would snap.

Damn it, what the hell did they do?

Tragedy! Oh, tragedy!

Lu Yu looked at Xu Fei, and after a long silence, he finally said, “He’s dead, isn’t he?”

Xu Fei could detect sadness and helplessness in Lu Yu’s voice.

“Yeah, he’s dead.” Xu Fei nodded.

“What a personality just like mine! Rather die than face me with that body of his.” Lu Yu suddenly laughed and said, “If he had stayed in Fanggang back then, he wouldn’t have died. But his nature was just like that—he insisted on becoming strong one day and returning to adventure together with me. Unfortunately, he never came back. But it’s good that you’re here now. I owe your father a lot; since I couldn’t repay him back then, I’ll consider this as compensation now.”

Lu Yu pulled Xu Fei up and said, “Come on, there’s no need to stand here anymore.”

Both of Xu Fei’s legs were completely broken.

He didn’t have money to buy those powerful recovery skills. The fact that he is still alive today is entirely due to his own abilities.

Lu Yu pulled Xu Fei up, but Xu Fei felt his legs go weak again and collapsed back toward the ground.

Lu Yu thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and took off the Tianjing armor from his body.

All around, pairs of eyes were fixed intently on the armor, stunned and motionless.

The war armor is transparent, adorned with swirling galaxies, radiant and dazzling.

Brother Liu’s eyes widened in shock as he gulped hard, stammering, “A star, a Star-grade armor!”

Someone immediately slapped themselves across the face, stammering in a trembling voice, “I—I must have seen wrong. Good heavens, this is a Star Artifact-grade armor! Is Lu Yu actually giving away a Star Artifact?”

Innumerable eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

“Back then, I owed your father, and I failed to protect him. But now I have the ability to protect you. This armor is a gift for you,” Lu Yu said, placing the Tianjing Battle Armor in front of Xu Fei.

“No, I don’t want it,” Xu Fei shook his head. “I want to fulfill my father’s last wish; I want to become strong through my own efforts. I came here only to ask you to allow my mother and my girlfriend to enter the Fanggang.”

Lu Yu looked at Xu Fei with a serious expression and said, “I’m friends with your father, which makes me your senior. Whatever I give you, you must take it. Are you saying you won’t even listen to me?”

Lu Yu’s expression was extremely serious. In a tone of authority, he commanded, “Put it on right now!”

Xu Fei stared blankly at the armor in his hands, unable to utter a word in response.

In his eyes, Lu Yu had always been lofty and powerful.

Now he has become his senior again, leaving him with no reason to refuse at all.

After learning about his father’s relationship with Lu Yu, he stood rooted to the spot, holding the armor and unable to utter a refusal, for he had never been someone who could say no to his elders.

Just as Xu Fei was about to put it on, several people suddenly rushed out from the crowd.

These few individuals moved at an extremely high speed, rushing toward the Tianjing Battle Armor and reaching out to grab it.

Greed can sometimes cause people to lose their reason.

They knew full well that they didn’t even have the qualifications to lay a hand on a king, yet they still dared to make a move.

Boom!

The sharp, sword-like killing intent emanating from Lu Yu directly tore these few people apart.

None of these people even had a way to get close.

Xu Fei put on his armor piece by piece, while the wounds on his legs and inside his body were rapidly healing.

This is the effect of a Star Artifact-class armor. It not only possesses strong defensive capabilities, but also excellent self-repair abilities.

By the time all the armor was fitted onto Xu Fei, it clung to his body like a second skin.

“I’ll tell you how to use this armor later. For now, just wear it. If the Hunters want to take it, let them try!” Lu Yu glanced coldly around, his voice filled with icy menace, warning everyone not to make a move, or face certain death.

“Thank you,” Xu Fei said. His personality was very similar to Ling Yang’s.

But he also dreamed of having a star artifact.

Suddenly obtaining a star artifact made him extremely excited.

“Come on, let’s go in together.” Lu Yu patted Xu Fei’s shoulder and said, “If your father were here, it would be him entering with me. But his son will do just fine.”

Countless people envied Xu Fei.

What a difference between heaven and earth!

Once a weak individual rejected by many organizations, things are completely different now.

As long as you go to Fanggang, even the weakest person can become strong.

Xu Fei really has risen to the heights in one step.

The guards in front of the Huafu building had also witnessed the scene just now. However, for them, they only recognized the invitation slips, not the individuals.

After confirming the invitation in Lu Yu’s hand, they allowed him to pass.

Lu Yu and the Deathless King brought Xu Fei into the Huafu mansion. The spacious hall, long since renovated, had been transformed into a grand auditorium.

In the center of the hall, there was an abundance of delicacies and various alcoholic beverages provided for the people inside.

Strong individuals from all over the world, along with leaders of various powerful factions, gathered in small groups, engaged in conversation.

After Lu Yu and the Undead King entered, many people stopped their conversations and looked toward Lu Yu, paying even more attention to the Undead King.

After all, he is the only king in this world now.

When they saw Xu Fei, they all hesitated slightly.

Because Xu Fei was too weak, with a cultivation level of more than 6,000 Zun, which was nothing in this world.

Even bringing someone like the Snow Region King or the Fierce King would make sense, but bringing such a young man along—what exactly does that mean?

“Mr. Lu, it’s been a long time,” Bai Yang said, stepping forward and extending his hand. “And this must be Wang. I suppose the meeting here should also be attended by the two of you.”

“White Yang, it’s been a while. Your gear seems even stronger now,” Lu Yu said, shaking White Yang’s hand and eyeing him. “Ordinary organizations probably couldn’t gather such equipment—21,000 realms of power. The wealth of the Sky God Organization even scares me a bit.”

Yang laughed heartily and said, “Haha, Mr. Lu, you’re flattering me. Compared to your Fangang, what am I? Two thousand one hundred pieces of equipment and a pile of Star Treasures have almost killed all my brain cells. Actually, I’m quite envious of you, Mr. Lu. The title of ‘Uncrowned King’ is truly admirable. Your strength of one hundred thousand zuns is far beyond my reach. However, may I ask who this gentleman is? I’ve never seen him before—”

Baiyang, having said that, steered the conversation toward Xu Fei.

Lu Yu replied, “His name is Xu Fei. He’s the child of Ling Yang, my best friend. We just met outside and I brought him in to take a look around.”

Lu Yu said that casually.

However, Bai Yang was internally shaken, having also heard some things about Ling Yang.

The best friend of Lu Yu died, but left behind a child. Lu Yu brought him here as a warning to everyone to be cautious—if anyone dares to harm him, they will die!

Bai Yang replied earnestly, “I haven’t seen Ling Xiong. However, he dares to travel alone in this chaotic era with only one arm and one eye—I truly admire his courage. Don’t worry, Mr. Lu; we will protect his child as well.”

Baiyang called someone over and instructed them to memorize Xu Fei’s appearance, then send it to others in the organization, so that they would avoid any future conflicts.

“Regarding the matter we discussed back then, you can start preparing now,” Lu Yu whispered softly before parting ways with Bai Yang.

Baiyang was taken aback for a moment, then his face lit up with joy. “Great, I understand now. I’ll send someone back immediately,” he said.

At last, the ten cities were opened!

Lu Yu met with the British military again, as well as the leaders of several major factions, simply informing them that they could begin preparations.

That’s enough!

The leaders were overjoyed. After waiting for so many years, they had finally awaited this day.

In the near future, Fanggang will no longer be just Fanggang; it will transform into an incredibly powerful city.

Many people couldn’t understand why Lu Yu was always determined to defend just one city.

Before long, they will realize just how terrifying Fanggang truly is!

Gradually, some leaders of various factions and several solitary powerful individuals arrived.

The grand hall became lively.

The delicacies and beverages began to be cleared away, and one by one, chairs and round tables were carried up.

The people who come here, whether they are leaders or those around them, are not ordinary individuals.

Everyone has their own place.

Each round table could seat ten people, and there were at least thirty such tables set up in the grand hall. This meant seating for three hundred guests alone, not even counting the loyal bodyguards who stood behind their respective leaders.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the most powerful representatives from around the world are seated here today.

The hunter—there’s not a soul here who doesn’t hate him.

As everyone took their seats, the main gate was finally closed, leaving no more bystanders or unrelated individuals.

At this moment, a representative from the U.S. military walked to the center of the table, where a temporary platform had been set up, and stood there.

He first coughed slightly, then looked around seriously and said, “Not long ago, I received news. The Parasitic King, who originally ruled Korea, was ambushed and sustained severe injuries, nearly dying. He won’t be coming and has already returned to his royal city to recover. Moreover, the Parasitic King Zun was assassinated by a hunter.”

As soon as the soldier spoke, the hall immediately became noisy.

An Australian military representative angrily slammed the table and said, “This is provocation. They know very well that we are holding this meeting specifically targeting them, yet they still dared to strike at this moment. They simply do not take us seriously at all.”

A king beside the armored figure spoke coldly, “In our era, hunters have always existed. No one who has not experienced an attack from a hunter is worthy of becoming a king. However, in this era, these hunters have become even more rampant and terrifying. It might be due to the changes in this era, making the hunters’ power overwhelming for anyone below the level of a king.”

The American on the stage turned serious and said, “That’s right. Therefore, the reason we’ve invited everyone here this time is to unite your strengths and find these Hunters. As for rewards, even if they reach into the trillions, we have no objection—as long as the Hunters can be eliminated. Otherwise, our fighters will constantly risk assassination every time they step outside; how can they cultivate under such circumstances? The apocalypse tide is approaching, and without formidable power, survival will be impossible.”

Bai Yang said solemnly, “It’s not just these hunters; everyone shouldn’t forget the underground organizations either. Recently, there have been rumors that some underground groups have already started selling preliminary versions of the King’s skills. What’s more, they’re openly priced, and even this King has a bounty on his head now.”

Baiyang said, looking toward the Undead King.

This news is quite alarming.

They’ve dared to put a price on the king’s head—have these people gone mad?

The Immortal King sat beside Lu Yu, his voice cold as he said, “You actually dared to include me in the bounty? Tell me who that person is later. As long as he exists in this world, he won’t live to see another day!”
