Even the Buddha has his anger!
This means that even the most gentle person can become angry at times!
Moreover, Lu Yu is a devil who has killed countless people. Once his fury erupts, who could possibly stand in his way?
The condition for the old man to bring Lu Yu back to life was not excessive, and he could bear it.
However, since he bears all the costs himself, the price is quite high.
Ten people amount to 500 billion Star Spirit Stones, and thirty people would be 15 trillion.
Does Fanggang have a lot of money?
The money in Fanggang belongs to all the soldiers of Fanggang.
Moreover, Lu Yu still had countless people to resurrect, and one hundred and fifty trillion star spirit stones was no small number.
Enough to resurrect thirty warriors who died defending Fanggang.
The old man frowned.
Lu Yu clearly vented all his anger from being tricked by the old man right here.
Everything has its limits, and the old man has crossed that line.
“Okay.” The old man smiled instead of getting angry.
He probably figured out Lu Yu’s bottom line, and that was enough.
The old man looked at the last line of the notebook, those four characters, and then raised his head to gaze at Lu Yu. “The final King of the Undying,” he said. “How much are you willing to pay? You should understand its value, right?”
Lu Yu nodded and said earnestly, “You’re right. The combined value of the previous items is merely equivalent to that of this Immortal King. But in terms of rarity, it is unparalleled.”
The elder said, “This is the essence extracted from Star Spirit Stones. It’s a product created by combining the art of weapon forging with a mysterious technique. Once fed with blood, it can grant consciousness to an Undead King. Eventually, the Undead King will transform into a ferocious beast. When it gains consciousness, it will possess the power of a king and continuously evolve during battle. It cannot be damaged or destroyed. If you lose control over it, it will consume your consciousness and turn you into its slave. This is a double-edged sword—you must think carefully. Once you acquire this item, there’s no turning back! If you become the puppet of this beast, we will stop at nothing to destroy you and take everything you have.”
Lu Yu said solemnly, “Regarding the Immortal King, I understand him better than you do. This is indeed a double-edged sword. Once he controls my mind, I will become a human-shaped beast of destruction. However, if this sword is used skillfully, even a king can be slain!”
Lu Yu inhaled and said, “Speak then, what do you want in exchange for this Immortal King?”
“You understand that his value is absolutely no less than that of a true King. No, even the peak of the Digital King might not be as important as this item. Therefore, the things I want to exchange are also unique. Your Poison Dragon Body, the Star-Calling Art, and the Art of Forging Weapons—each of these three will be exchanged for one of your abilities!”
Lu Yu frowned and asked in a deep voice, “There are no other conditions?”
The Poison Dragon Body has already evolved.
Now his poison is truly unstoppable by anyone.
The Star Summoning Art and the Art of Forging Weapons must be firmly grasped and are absolutely not available for trade.
“Then you must make an offer that satisfies us. But you should understand that only something of equal value to the king is qualified for the exchange.”
Lu Yu lowered his head and pondered deeply for a long time. He then took a breath and said, “What if I had the ability to give you ten royal guards?”
“King-level guard?” The old man was taken aback, his heart trembling as he thought, “Could it actually be a genuine king-level warrior?”
“He’s not a true King-class warrior, but they can grow to become like Kings,” said Lu Yu. “Do you remember that night of the rebellion, during the auction when the skeleton was finally taken by the King of Ten Thousand Snakes?”
How wise the old man was; he understood immediately and, gazing intently at Lu Yu, said, “That’s not the real King of Serpents—it’s your puppet.”
“That’s right. I control the puppets created from the blood of the King of Serpents. I can also give you ten such guards; they will possess the same power as these kings and grow stronger as they develop.”
The elder finally understood and exclaimed in realization: “Is this the reason why, over these years, several major organizations, a few nations, and even the Dragon Clan have been collecting royal blood from various races? When you all returned from that spatial realm in India back then, the treasures you brought out were related to this as well.”
A shiver ran through Lu Yu’s heart, and in an instant, a murderous intent stirred within him.
This old man is too terrifying. Just a few words from him, and the entire sequence of events became crystal clear.
Is this the wisdom of those in power?
“Don’t worry, no one else will ever know about this,” the old man said solemnly. “This secret must not be revealed, or it will cause great chaos. Your Fangang will immediately turn into a sea of blood. Give me twenty warriors like these, and I promise I will never disclose this information.”
“Old man, it’s a big mistake that you’re not a merchant,” Lu Yu gritted his teeth and said, “Ten guards, not one more. You collect the royal blood of these people yourselves, but I still need ten drops of your blood. If you want someone to control these guards, you must give me that person’s blood. Remember, don’t let this get out.”
Lu Yu spoke in a deep, heavy voice, his tone laced with intense killing intent.
“This time, for the sake of the Immortal King, I’ve revealed this information to you, breaking the original agreement with the other organizations. If you spread this matter further, there will be no chance of cooperation between us ever again.”
“I understand.”
The old man instantly figured out the stakes involved.
Lu Yu possesses such an ability that if it were ever discovered by the wrong people, they would never let him go.
For example, once the King of Ten Thousand Snakes regains his royal power, the guardians obtained through the blood of the King of Ten Thousand Snakes will also reach the peak of royal strength.
One drop of royal blood, one king.
Lu Yu has been trading Wang Blood for years, even engaging in fierce battles with numerous Kings to seize the Wang Blood.
Lu Yu has at least a hundred king-level puppets.
If Lu Yu were to become King Zun, or even the King, with these puppets by his side, who in the world would still be able to stand against him?
I believe there’s no need to wait until then.
On the day this news spreads, guardians from various countries, and even some kings and countless ambitious individuals, will launch a joint attack on Fanggang.
At that time, it won’t just be Fanggang; the entire Huaxia will be drawn into this war.
How could an elderly person not understand the stakes involved?
“It has to be the blood of a king who’s still alive, right?” the old man said, “Give me some time. I’ll have someone secretly deliver it to you.”
“Okay.”
Lu Yu nodded, and only then did a smile appear on his face.
Both parties finally reached an agreement, marking the successful conclusion of this transaction.
However, no matter how one looks at it, Lu Yu was at a disadvantage in terms of value.
From another perspective, this was also a tremendous gain.
Once utilized, these things are invaluable.
This could be considered a big profit for Lu Yu.
Moreover, he believed that exchanging ten puppets for the Undead King was the most profitable deal.
The elderly man shook hands with Lu Yu, celebrating a successful collaboration, and together they walked out through the lead door.
Go back up the elevator to the ground level.
Zhao Long was still waiting here, keeping his eyes on the elevator door all the time.
It was not until the two of them walked out together that Zhao Long’s tense body finally relaxed.
The old man asked, “Has anything happened in the outside world these days?”
Zhao Long thought for a moment and said, “The city has been very calm. Apart from some conflicts between local organizations, there haven’t been any threatening incidents. However, shortly after you entered, there was a rumor in China that the Dragon Clan is going to select a Dragon Knight, starting next month.”
Lu Yu exclaimed in surprise, “The Dragon Clan is going to reveal themselves publicly?”
The elder exclaimed in surprise, “A Dragon Knight? I originally heard rumors saying that only those who pass all the trials of the dragon race can earn the dragons’ recognition. Only a Dragon Knight is qualified to stand upon a dragon’s body. Once a dragon acknowledges a human as its knight, it will never betray them, not even in death. What exactly is the dragon race planning this time?”
Although the apocalypse tide is coming, the Dragon Clan has survived countless times before. So why are they appearing publicly this time?
Zhao Long continued, “Moreover, dragon warriors have spread the message throughout the country and even worldwide. If someone can pass all the trials, they could even stand side by side with the Dragon King in battle.”
“Hiss.” Lu Yu and the old man both inhaled sharply and couldn’t help exchanging a glance.
Even the Dragon King is about to appear.
The old man asked, “When will it start?”
Three months later. During these three months, the Dragon Clan will send invitations to every human who qualifies for the trial. Those who do not receive an invitation can also gain eligibility by passing the initial test.
Lu Yu glanced at the elderly man and said earnestly, “The items for the transaction will be picked up in batches by your people at Fanggang. I need to leave now; this matter is different from the usual.”
The elder also nodded, his expression turning serious as he said, “I need to return and discuss this with the others. Let us part ways here. I hope we won’t have too much conflict during the test.”
“Impossible. I will give it my all. My people won’t give up easily either.”
Lu Yu took a giant step out of the building and dashed toward the city outskirts.
Obviously, the news about the dragon race had already set the world ablaze, as the voices he heard in his ears were all about dragons.
Countless people wore expressions of excitement, and the fighting spirit of countless warriors soared.
The Dragon Clan, this is the most mysterious race in human history.
Although only the Chinese dragon appeared in the apocalypse, legends about dragons have never ceased around the world.
There are many accounts circulating about the dragon race in the post-apocalyptic era.
True Dragon Race members, after reaching ten thousand in number, possess the strength to rival the King’s power.
This race is extremely powerful, and the longer the dragons survive, the more powerful they become.
Become a Dragon Knight!
This kind of information would be enough to drive every warrior in the world crazy.
Moreover, with even the Dragon King making an appearance, who could possibly remain calm?
Who would miss the opportunity for the true dragon, the king of the most mysterious race, to become their mount?
Moreover, there are rumors that the Dragon Knight possesses a special power.
The entire city was abuzz with talk.
Even there are rumors that some members of the enforcement team have already received invitation qualifications.
Lu Yu stepped out of the city and immediately teleported back to defend the harbor.
The city was also abuzz with discussions everywhere.
When Lu Yu returned to the core area, Luo Haotian and the others had already come back long before.
The core area now has five thousand warriors, all gathered here, discussing information about the Dragon Knight.
As soon as Lu Yu appeared, the place fell silent immediately.
“You’ve heard the news as well?” Luo Haotian asked, looking at Lu Yu.
“Yes, I’ve also received news about the Dragon Knight.”
Fenghuang Wu took out a crystal box and handed it to Lu Yu, saying, “A warrior from the Dragon Clan sent out invitations yesterday. We, the so-called kings without crowns, along with the hundred individuals from the core domain, have all received invitations. And this special invitation is specifically for you.”
