“Four years!” Lu Yu stood in front of the core domain, his eyes growing colder and colder.
He never expected to spend four years in the starry sky.
Four years of silence had completely dulled and refined all of Lu Yu’s sharp edges.
If Lu Yu did not emit his aura, the warrior standing before him would only feel as though he were facing a mountain soaring straight into the clouds, leaving him unable to catch his breath.
When Lu Yu’s momentum erupts, people will realize that the devil from those years has returned.
Liu Xing, sitting inside the shop, stood up at this moment and said joyfully, “He’s come out.”
“The leader is back!” Within the First Domain, countless people raised their arms and cheered.
A few people’s expressions changed, sensing that the released aura was far stronger than before.
Not everyone who joined Fanggang did so with genuine intentions.
No matter how careful Liu Xing and his team were, and even after multiple reviews, there were still people who managed to slip through.
Spies from various organizations have come here, all aiming to infiltrate the core area.
No matter how large or how wealthy the Fanggang may be.
Everyone knows that the real secrets of Fanggang lie deep within its core domains.
Some people speculated that if one could go inside and bring out a single item, they might instantly rise to great heights.
But it’s extremely difficult to get in.
So far, among the hundred thousand soldiers in Fanggang, only dozens of them are close to meeting the requirements.
Lu Yu arrived at the shop, which was already closed, and the damaged and broken parts had been repaired.
However, the faint smell of blood has never completely dissipated here.
Liu Xing and the shop owner hurried forward immediately.
Everything in Fanggang belongs to this person.
The real boss of this city is back!
“Mr. Lu, I’m so sorry,” Liu Xing said with his head bowed, feeling deeply remorseful. “I never expected that someone would actually dare to target Miss Huowu.”
The shop owner also bowed his head and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Lu. It’s my failure. I couldn’t protect Miss Huowu properly.”
“This has nothing to do with you,” Lu Yu said, waving his hand. “How is she doing now?”
Liu Xing gritted his teeth and said, “It has been two months since Miss Huowu arrived here, and her external wounds have already healed. However, there seems to be some force within her body that continuously prevents the internal injuries from recovering. I’ve already used all my strength, along with various artifacts and Star Treasures at my disposal, attempting to enhance Miss Huowu’s vitality, barely bringing it up to the level of ten Zun. But— I’ve exhausted all options. Even with help from the Celestial Deity Organization and the Chinese military, we’ve been unable to further improve her vitality. The destructive force and her life force inside her body are now in a state of balance—her injuries won’t worsen, but they won’t heal either. However, Miss Huowu has lost her ability to fight again.”
The shop owner nodded in admiration and said, “If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t have even made it back after sustaining such severe injuries. Yet Miss Huowu managed to endure and travel all the way here from the Demon Hunter Plains. Such determination is truly admirable.”
“Take me to see it.” Lu Yu’s expression was extremely cold.
Liu Xing nodded and led Lu Yu into the only office at the back of the store.
Everything related to the office in this room has now been cleared out.
Near the center of the bedroom, close to the window, there was a bed. Huowu lay peacefully on the large bed like a sleeping beauty.
Moonlight streamed through the window, gently casting upon Huowu’s face and strands of hair, illuminating that exquisitely beautiful visage with a touch of melancholy allure.
Two young women stood quietly beside the bed, their breathing barely audible.
A middle-aged beautiful woman was sitting on a chair in front of the bed, resting with her eyes closed, looking somewhat tired.
When Liu Xing and Lu Yu sneaked in quietly, a woman hastily signaled them to keep silent, as Huo Wu had just fallen asleep.
Lu Yu took a distant glance, noticed that Huo Wu was calm, then looked at his mother, felt relieved, and quietly stepped out.
Liu Xing quietly closed the door behind him and said, “Mr. Lu, please rest assured. Those two women are professional caregivers I hired at great expense. We’ve prepared the best environment and the finest food for Miss Huowu and Madam. However—”
Liu Xing said bitterly, “I’m really useless. I couldn’t help Miss Huowu at all, and worse, I allowed Lei Xiaohu to snatch away the fifteen best Star Weapons. These fifteen Star Weapons have the finest attributes. Now in the Lei family’s possession, they continue to publicly promote Lei Xiaohu’s strength and his past challenge against the Parasitic魔王, gaining a large following as a result.”
“What?” Lu Yu exclaimed in surprise. “What has happened in recent years? Has anyone dared to challenge the King himself?”
Lu Yu didn’t take charge of anything during these four years; he devoted himself entirely to forging weapons.
He knows too little about what’s happening outside.
Liu Xing said, “The world has changed a lot in these four years, all because of the changes in your evolution drug.”
Liu Xing carefully described the changes in the world during this period.
Regarding the changes that the evolution drug has brought to some young people, and the alterations in their potential and talents.
“He took something from me, and I will naturally make sure it’s returned,” Lu Yu said in a deep voice. “Fifteen Star Weapons—he actually thinks he’s invincible?”
The changes over the past four years have exceeded his imagination.
The emergence of these gifted teenagers in large numbers creates a powerful surge, much like the ceaseless waves of the sea, one after another.
Many previously renowned strong individuals have now been surpassed by these young prodigies.
Lu Yu said coldly, “Activate the defense shield of the first domain. Now that I’m back, I’d like to see who dares to come again.”
“Okay,” Liu Xing nodded, then turned and headed toward the core area.
A few minutes later, the light shield above Fanggang’s first domain began to vanish piece by piece. Sections of the shield transformed into淡蓝色 starlight, drifting upward into the sky.
At the foot of the city wall, the sea of flames receded, and the fire giant vanished.
The second domain watched as the light veil vanished, and every heart was trembling with shock.
Someone remarked, “Lu Yu is declaring war!”
“Does the Lei family have the capability to confront Lu Yu?”
“It’s hard to say. That Lei Xiaohu isn’t a fool, and challenging the Parasitic Demon King isn’t something an ordinary person could do. Since he dared to do this, he must have some hidden trump cards that he hasn’t revealed yet.”
At this point, someone sighed, “Yes, four years can bring about many changes. The evolution drug has changed a lot of people; just how much, only the individuals themselves probably know. Perhaps—there might actually be someone who now possesses the strength to challenge Lu Yu.”
As the light mask of the first domain vanished, various organizations swiftly moved into the defensive port.
At this time, they hoped to make contact with Lu Yu, and some organizations were even willing to send troops.
As long as Lu Yu gave the order, the British military even agreed to send in a large force, joining hands with Lu Yu’s soldiers to destroy the Lei family.
The city of Fanggang is in turmoil, with representatives from various powerful factions arriving one after another.
At the same time, geniuses nurtured by various powerful factions arrived as well.
This was one of the rare opportunities to meet Lu Yu face-to-face.
Compared to these young people, Lu Yu is considered quite middle-aged.
Some young prodigies were incredibly excited because they had practically grown up listening to Lu Yu’s stories.
Lu Yu rejected all requests from the organizations to dispatch troops.
Some grudges should indeed be avenged, and it is only right that he takes revenge himself.
All major organizations retreated helplessly. At this moment, not a single word about negotiations was mentioned by anyone.
Lu Yu probably doesn’t have the mood for that right now.
After Huo Wu woke up, Lu Yu personally examined her injuries, but he was powerless to help.
“Help me find a piece of blood jasper,” Lu Yu said in a deep voice. “And find a reliable person as well. I will ruin this person’s life, but in return, I will give him a substantial compensation.”
Liu Xing inhaled sharply and said, “Blood Crystal—this item is beyond price! Even if there were only one piece in the entire world, I would stop at nothing to find it for you.”
Lu Yu nodded to Liu Xing, indicating that he should go and take care of it right away.
People expected a major battle. However, in the following days, Huaxia remained calm, and nothing happened.
Liu Xing is offering a high price for a Blood Essence Stone, even going so far as to say he is willing to pay any price.
This condition immediately caused a sensation throughout China and even the entire world.
Bloodstone can only be found on the corpse of a Blood Eye after its death.
Moreover, during this period, the Blood Eye had already learned to hide itself, making it really hard to find.
Less than an hour after Liu Xing presented his conditions, Lei Xiaohu personally announced that he could grant someone an immortal body.
He doesn’t want anything else, just blood crystal.
“Alright, so you’re really going to stand against me?” After hearing the news, Lu Yu’s murderous intent became even stronger.
At that very moment, the Spirit King arrived.
He had also heard some news not long ago when he left the Fire Region, which prompted him to come here in a hurry.
Whether it’s about business or anything else, Huo Wu is practically his half-disciple. If anyone dares to harm Huo Wu, it’s like slapping this king right in the face.
Lu Yu and Ling Wang had not seen each other for four years. As they stood together, Lu Yu could already sense that unmatched power.
The Spiritual King’s strength is at least eight thousand Zuns.
The astonishing aura emanating from him had already begun to subtly influence the surroundings.
“You—” the Spirit King carefully examined Lu Yu, frowning. “Since you already possess the power of a King, why are you seeking the cultivation method of the King Venerates? Do you really wish to possess both powers at once? Young man, remember that greed brings no benefit. If you can push even one power to its ultimate limit, once you become a King, no one will be able to stop you!”
“Senior, there are some things I can’t explain,” Lu Yu said with a bitter smile. “It’s my secret.”
“Fine, I won’t interfere anymore,” said the Spirit King, who didn’t want to ask further. Looking at Lu Yu, he continued, “Take me to see that little girl. I want to find out what’s going on. I won’t get involved in your affairs, but unless her injuries are particularly unusual, I believe I can handle it.”
Lu Yu was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, “Then I’m very grateful to the senior for this.”
“For what? Wait until I cure her first.”
King Ling waved his hand, signaling Lu Yu to lead the way.
The two of them arrived at Huowu’s room, and the King of Spirits wasted no time, immediately stepping forward to examine the injuries.
Lu Yu stood nervously beside the bed, watching as the Spirit King conducted the examination without interrupting.
King Ling was also very meticulous. After inspecting for quite some time, he took Lu Yu out of the room and said in a deep voice, “I’ve heard of such injuries before—it’s impossible to heal them.”
Lu Yu asked in confusion, “Senior, I was planning to transfer my regeneration ability to Huo Wu. Is that not allowed either?”
King Ling shook his head and said, “It’s useless. I’ve heard of such injuries before; this is the power of a king. His ability is destruction. No matter how strong your recovery or regeneration abilities are, this destructive force will match your healing power, keeping your internal organs continuously damaged.”
Lu Yu said seriously, “Are you saying that the young man who injured Huowu possesses the power of a king?”
“It’s very faint, but I can confirm it’s the power of a king,” the Spirit King said seriously. “The only way to counteract this method is to let Huo Wu possess the power of a king as well. However, in order to do that, I must first remove her demonic body, restore her human form, and then forge her into a hundred-refined demonic body.”
Lu Yu was deeply moved and said, “Senior, if you can heal Huo Wu, I’m willing to give you all the star artifact fragments I possess.”
To him, family has always been the most important.
He is willing to sacrifice anything to save Huowu.
Even the Spirit King couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth this time. However, he quickly regained his composure and said, “Never mind the reward for now. First, you must gather the materials for the Hundred Refinements Demonic Body. Then, you must bring back alive the one who injured Huo Wu. Can you do it?”
