Nanchong, a name that has caught fire.
Not only did the major organizations become aware of it, but even ordinary people in Huaxia came to know this name!
Qin Hai—an ordinary teenager who was hardly known to anyone before.
Because he is too weak!
Moreover, in Nanchong, there are no more than twenty people who know the Shao family.
The boy’s name is Qin Hai. His father is named Qin Dashan, and his elder brother is Qin Tian.
Lu Yu’s mother died saving Qin Tian during the apocalypse, while Qin Hai is the son of Qin Da Shan, born to his wife after the apocalypse.
In Nanchong, this small family was neither living well nor badly.
At least the things that one’s own family works hard to obtain can be used to enhance their strength and exchange for food without any problem.
As for the surplus, there wasn’t much left.
Several relatives still keep in touch with each other, and a few close friends often go hunting together.
Besides that, not many people know the name Qin Hai.
Nowadays, Qin Hai has become famous overnight, and even powerful organizations like the military and the Celestial Deity Organization have sent envoys, willing to cooperate with the Qin family.
Qin Hai inadvertently passed the arena set up by Xie Ming, actually becoming the heir to the Hell King. It was as if gold rained down from the heavens—not just a single piece, but an entire mountain of gold.
This time, even relatives who previously had only a distant relationship with the Qin family, or were not related at all, gathered around.
Hell is in America; no one knows how many powerful beings there are!
But at the very least, the power of that illusory figure has already left a deep impression on people’s minds. If even the Sovereigns are merely subordinates of the King of Hell, just how formidable will the ultimate inheritor of the King of Hell become once he grows strong!
After Qin Hai was taken away by Xie Ming.
The three Supreme Beings awakened by Qin Hai have arrived in Huaxia, bringing along invaluable treasures and star-forged weapons.
These resources were sufficient to establish a royal army of thirty thousand warriors. When this information was leaked, it set Huaxia into an uproar.
When one attains the Dao, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!
Such a description is most fitting for the Qin family’s current situation.
The usually unremarkable Qin household became bustling with visitors.
On the first day of Qin Hai’s departure, even before nightfall, six cities had already pledged allegiance to the Qin family.
The two major organizations that originally controlled the mines in Nanchong have withdrawn. Qin Tian, accompanied by several younger relatives, proudly announced that from today onward, the mines in Nanchong belong to the Qin family.
With three Supreme Beings presiding and experts possessing the power of the Six Sovereigns, one can dominate in Huaxia.
Qin Dashan excitedly declared that it would become the most powerful organization in Huaxia, and no one would believe it was a scam.
With the Supreme Being presiding and vast resources accumulated, anything is possible!
Qin Dashan announced that everyone who passes the test and remains loyal to the Qin family will receive a generous reward, and could even gain guidance from the Supreme Being!
Such news spread once again, nearly causing Nanchong to burst with crowds.
Millions upon millions of people are rushing to Nanchong, all just to join the Qin family!
Supreme—one is too rare in the land of China.
A supreme expert can certainly command a region, and if they were to take action, they could almost certainly suppress it.
Undoubtedly, Qin Dashan’s approach had tugged at everyone’s nerves.
To be personally guided by the Supreme Being—how many people today would give anything to have that privilege!
The prestige of the Qin family was pushed to its peak, with even many warriors who had previously pledged allegiance to Lu Yu now joining the Qin family.
On the first day of Qin Dashan’s oath, only four hundred out of the thousand people recruited by Lu Yu remained.
Since Liu Xing recruited these people, Lu Yu hasn’t even shown up.
Many people have some complaints, feeling as if they were ignored.
This time the emergence of the Qin family shook the confidence of this group of people, leading them to completely abandon their previous stance.
They were willing to join Lu Yu’s side more because they hoped to serve under a powerful leader, which they considered an honor.
Now that there is a direct chance to approach the supreme being, how could these people possibly miss it!
In the end, even these four hundred people, many of whom had never even seen Lu Yu or received any benefits from him, were still willing to stay here.
They truly admired Lu Yu and were willing to be here.
Figures like Ba Wang and Shi Hu, among the nine, all willingly became Lu Yu’s subordinates, preferring to die in battle rather than utter a word of complaint.
Liu Xing had already regarded Lu Yu as his boss and was devoting himself wholeheartedly to working for Lu Yu.
And those he had carefully selected, the ones he had guaranteed to be absolutely loyal, had all left.
He had given his word, yet such a thing happened. When he saw Lu Yu, his face was indeed very grim.
Especially when Lu Yu asked for the soldiers’ roster, Liu Xing reluctantly handed him the book, feeling quite embarrassed as he said, “Mr. Lu, we only have four hundred people left now. The rest of them have all gone to the Qin family.”
Liu Xing became increasingly angry as he spoke.
One day, just one single day, seven or eight hundred people ran away.
He was also feeling very unhappy inside!
Lu Yu took the notebook and smiled, saying, “Good job. This is exactly the result I wanted.”
He wasn’t the least bit surprised, thinking that this was exactly the data he wanted.
What he needs is not a large number of people, nor elite troops; what he demands is absolute loyalty!
Lu Yu’s prolonged silence towards these people was also a test.
Like the stone tiger of King Ba, still loyal even after a long time apart.
Even without knowing his own fate, he continued to guard the mine that belonged to him.
That’s the kind of person he wants. Loyal not just to the living, but more likely to a dead person.
One day, if he were to have an accident, he would need some people to protect his important family members.
Facing Lu Yu’s reaction, Liu Xing was instead surprised and said, “Mr. Lu, you’re actually happy about this. More than a thousand people have been reduced to just this many—only a third of the original number. Compared to those large organizations, what are our numbers worth?”
Lu Yu put away his notebook and smiled: “If having more people were useful, Hydra would have died long ago. I don’t care about their strength or their past; all I want is loyalty. Moreover, aren’t time and patience the best ways to test a person? These people stayed despite being ignored by me for such a long time—they are the ones truly willing to become my warriors!”
Liu Xing was slightly taken aback, nodded with a puzzled expression on his face and said, “Maybe, I understand a little now. What will you do next, Mr. Lu?”
He still didn’t understand. But he felt that what Lu Yu said made some sense.
Lu Yu’s expression darkened slightly as he solemnly declared, “Starting from today, we will no longer accept anyone.”
“No, no more recruitment?” Liu Xing listened, even more surprised and puzzled. “Really no more recruitment?”
“That’s right, we’re not recruiting anymore,” Lu Yu said seriously. “Now, notify these people to assemble. There are some things that really need to be done.”
Liu Xing was first taken aback, then excitedly said, “Okay, I understand.”
After Liu Xing left, he immediately sent out the news – so the soldiers who had sworn allegiance to Lu Yu were gathering for the first time!
After the news spread, it did not cause much commotion.
At this time, the Qin family was at the height of its power, and the entire Huaxia region was abuzz with discussions about them. As a result, this message, which was only sent to a few hundred people, was quickly drowned out and forgotten.
However, those who remained loyal to Lu Yu were particularly thrilled.
Anyone who received the news rushed to Fanggang immediately.
It’s been too long, really too long.
They had finally received the order.
Warriors from all over the Huaxia region gathered outside the villa, arriving one after another in unison.
Many people haven’t noticed that there are far fewer people in Fanggang City.
Many went to Nanchong, either striving to pass the test or simply going to see the commotion.
Few people paid attention to the hundreds of people gathering here, except those who genuinely cared about Lu Yu.
The next day, the魅妖 delivered all the items she owed to Lu Yu as promised.
Although the heir has been found, the piece of flesh has also been used.
However, even the young man dared not take it lightly, and for now had no intention of making an enemy of Lu Yu.
No one knows about the progress of these matters.
…
Three days later—
A total of 367 soldiers gathered in front of the villa.
The Nine Tyrants, including Shi Hu the Black Tiger, are all here!
Moreover, all the other warriors who arrived were ones Lu Yu had never seen before.
One hundred Kings, one Star Lord, and the rest were all at level seven or eight, with some even at level three or four.
He was looking at these people, and these people were also looking at him!
Several teenagers, around fifteen or sixteen years old, their eyes red-rimmed, almost burst into tears as they said, “Mr. Lu, you’ve finally agreed to see us. Wow, we’re so happy.”
A young man also spoke with a trembling and emotional voice: “I was almost in despair, thinking that Mr. Lu no longer cared about us.”
“Fool, Mr. Lu isn’t that kind of person,” a king-level figure said, harshly knocking the young man’s head. “Since this time Mr. Lu has gathered us, does that mean he’s about to target someone?”
As soon as the king finished speaking, dozens of youths around him let out loud cries, excited like a group of young wild beasts.
The only Star Master present was also excited and said, “Yes, whatever you need us to do, Mr. Lu. Just give the order, and we will carry it out without fail.”
“I’ll do it even if it means climbing mountains of blades and wading through seas of fire!” Many people shouted, clenching their fists in oath.
Lu Yu looked at these people with a satisfied smile.
They did not ask why they had been summoned, but were simply willing to obey; these were the people he wanted.
From the expressions of these people, it is evident that their expressions are genuine and not feigned.
Lu Yu merely smiled and watched, waiting until these people had calmed down before saying, “This time, I’ve gathered everyone here not to confront any particular enemy. It’s simply because I feel the time has come.”
As he spoke, Lu Yu’s expression turned solemn. “Finally,” he said, “I ask each of you this: are you willing to pledge your loyalty to me?”
Lu Yu’s voice was heavy, and the rare seriousness in his tone made the people’s hearts sink.
More than three hundred people, all with solemn expressions, responded in unison: “We are willing!”
Lu Yu spoke again, his voice louder and more solemn: “If one day I die, will you be willing to protect my family until death!”
The rare seriousness and solemn atmosphere made the entire world seem eerily calm, as if on the verge of a storm.
Suddenly, hundreds of voices roared together: “We are willing!”
From the Supreme Black Tiger to Master Shi Hu and others, and now to these warriors that Lu Yu was seeing for the first time, not a single person hesitated; every face bore the fearless and resolute expression of those ready to face death without hesitation.
Lu Yu was very satisfied. Since the apocalypse began, he had never laughed so heartily before. He said loudly, “Good, very good. From today on, you are my warriors. Your lives belong to me, and I will make you even stronger!”
Lu Yu laughed more fiercely than the pain, while streaks of red light, like blood, emanated from his body.
These crimson lights began to appear drop by drop, spreading around Lu Yu’s body, and then transformed into numerous unique blood markings.
These blood markings connected together, forming a protective barrier composed of a network of runes, with each tiny rune coiling around every strand of his hair.
The talismanic patterns shimmered with a crimson light, exuding an aura of mystery and immense power.
This is the Hundred Refinements Demonic Body—
Lu Yu is determined to create a warrior of his own.
His fingertip was gently pierced, and a drop of blood oozed out. Within the blood, tiny rune-like patterns flickered!
