Chapter 247: The Calm Before the Storm

The once-sensational Lu family was ruined.

In recent years, the Lu family has been rising in prominence, and the land beneath their feet was once well-known throughout various regions of China.

But, everything changed overnight.

The small town is gone, and the Lu family has become history.

Lu Yu’s powerful return made the surrounding demon lords dare not move recklessly.

The devils who dare to challenge the Devil Lord are no match for them.

A hundred battles took the Lu family away, leaving the war-torn ruins in a deathly silence.

The wind howled across the land, roaring as it swept up countless grains of sand and stones.

Everyone was watching Lu Yu.

The Supreme Being glanced at Lu Yu and then turned to leave.

He is not a guardian, and has no reason to protect Lu Yu.

This time, he got involved entirely because of the relationship between the冥尊 and slaughter several generations ago.

The Supreme Dark Lord departed, leaving the hearts of several present demons trembling.

Lu Yu’s bloodshot eyes fell directly on Xue Hai.

“Oh no!” Xue Hai’s heart pounded with alarm. Suddenly, he tore through the void and fled.

But Lu Yu merely glanced at it indifferently, then swept his gaze over each person’s face, making their hearts pound with unease.

However, the fighting spirit in Lu Yu and the bloodshot light in his eyes were gradually fading away.

Without the will to fight, his face was no longer cold.

People discovered that Lu Yu was nothing more than an ordinary person.

Lu Yu slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on the woman being protected by Huowu. His lips trembling, he took step after step toward her.

After waiting for over a decade, every day and every moment felt like an eternity.

This was the moment he had been waiting for, the very day he had been anticipating!

“Xiaoyu!”

Yang Qian waited for over a decade, just for the day when she could hear news about Lu Yu.

She wanted to see Lu Yu return, and more importantly, she wished for his safety.

Lu Yu raised his head, knelt heavily on the gravel, and trembled as he said, “Mother, I’m back!”

“It’s okay as long as you’re safe, as long as you’re safe!” Yang Qian squatted down, hugged Lu Yu tightly, and tears streamed down her cheeks, unable to stop flowing.

At this moment, Lu Yu was still the same devil god who dared to challenge the Devil Lord.

He was also an ordinary person, an ordinary man with blood and tears.

Huowu, witnessing this scene, was reminded of her departed parents, and her eyes moistened slightly.

Several Demon Lords sighed deeply, and only then did they realize why Lu Yu had not pursued and killed the Blood Sea cultivator earlier.

After more than a decade of waiting, the longing to see my mother again surpasses even my hatred!

“After today, no one on this land will dare to challenge Lu Yu again,” a devil monarch said, shaking his head, and then stepped into the void.

“The first under the Demon Lord, unmatched by anyone.”

One by one, the lords of magic departed.

Huāgyǐng glanced at Huǒwǔ, then at Lùyǔ, and departed with a hint of sadness.

Liu Yong left with his people, and the Celestial Deities Organization also departed with their group.

Everyone’s expression was extremely solemn as they left; it was time for them to choose their sides again.

Never did I imagine that a single person could change the landscape of Huaxia.

A colossal dragon stretching millions of feet long, capable of obliterating an entire city with a single swipe of its claw!

Not including the Supreme Being—

Lu Yu is considered the top person in China!

There were still people remaining in the venue.

A few people, like Ba Wang Shi Hu, Xiao Xiao, Huo Wu, and others.

Lu Chencheng and his father were also there, but the middle-aged man was now being ignored, as if he were just a pile of trash.

Even kings were forced to retreat over a hundred miles away; very few people can actually stand here.

“Xiao Yu, let me see if you’ve changed at all!” After crying while holding her son, Yang Qian finally pulled Lu Yu up and looked at him carefully.

“You’re just like your father, right down to your temper!” Yang Qian laughed, wiping away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

“Of course, I’m your son and Dad’s son!” Lu Yu’s face lit up with a smile, looking very happy.

“Auntie!” Xiaoxiao cheerfully jumped to Yang Qian’s side, her smile blooming like a flower, showing not a trace of coldness.

“Who is this?” Yang Qian was at Lu Yu’s house. There was no one to talk to her, and her knowledge of the outside world was also very limited.

At this moment, she saw such a pretty maid standing in front of her, and couldn’t help but look her over in surprise.

“I’m the one Big Brother saved before,” Xiaoxiao introduced herself as if she were an old friend.

“And who is this?” Yang Qian thought back to the moment when she was rescued. That heroic woman, with beauty that could make any other woman envious, stood out just as impressively.

“My name is Fan Tian… No, no, I mean Huo Wu!” Huo Wu’s face turned bright red, the blush spreading all the way to the roots of her ears. After saying this, she lowered her head so much that she nearly saw her own toes. However, her view was blocked by her chest.

This made Lu Chencheng’s father and Shi Hu almost pop their eyes out.

Brahma!

These days, he can be considered a famous demon lord in Huaxia.

Not to mention capturing the Demon City!

Even among the few individuals with the highest prospects of advancing to the rank of Demon Sovereign, following the Demon Lord, was Fan Tian.

But who would have thought that Fan Tian was a woman.

Moreover, looking at this expression, something seems off!

Yang Qian, being someone who had gone through similar experiences, glanced at Lu Yu and immediately understood the situation.

Yang Qian smiled and said, “Very good, very good!”

Because Huowu had saved her life, Yang Qian felt not the slightest aversion toward Huowu.

Yang Qian held Huo Wu’s hand and examined her up close for quite a while, making Huo Wu feel like running away.

“Fairy of Flame, Auntie will cook for you later,” Yang Qian said, then looked around and chuckled embarrassedly, “Auntie’s house is gone already, so you’ll have to wait just a bit longer.”

“Mom, who said we don’t have a house?” Lu Yu said earnestly beside her. “You have an entire city. As long as you like it, I can get that city for you!”

“Mom doesn’t need all that; I just want to have a home with you,” Yang Qian said tenderly, stroking Lu Yu’s head with a smile. “You’ve grown quite a bit taller!”

As she spoke, Yang Qian waved her hand toward Lu Chench.

Lu Chenchen immediately ran over there as well.

She stood aside, wanting to come over but afraid of disturbing the warm and cozy atmosphere, so she dared not approach.

Now, seeing Yang Qian waving at her, Lu Chenchen immediately ran over.

“Yang Yi, Yu Gege!” Lu Chenchen’s big eyes sparkled as she excitedly clenched her little fists.

Yang Qian held Lu Chenchen in her arms, looked at Lu Yu, and said seriously, “Xiaoyu, if it weren’t for Xiaochen secretly coming to keep me company, bringing me food and money over the years, I really don’t know if I could have held on until you came back. No matter what happens from now on, never forget your little sister, okay?”

Lu Yu nodded with a smile, patted Lu Chenchen’s head gently, and said, “Mom, don’t worry. In the Lu family, I remember clearly who is kind to us and who is not. Xiaochen is my little sister, and she always will be. Brother once said that if we could return to the Lu family, he would definitely take you with him. Now I’m back. Will you come with me?”

“I—” Lu Chenchen hesitated, glancing at the middle-aged man over there, her words caught in her throat!

Lu Yu sighed and said, “I understand. He’ll come with us.”

Lu Chenchen nodded happily.

The middle-aged man stood behind, neither joyful nor resentful.

After experiencing everything, he seemed to have a new perspective on life — just being alive was enough.

This is the ability of several people to teleport.

Under Lu Yu’s guidance, the group was teleported together and appeared at Fanggang!

This small city, once partially destroyed by disaster, has not only avoided decline over the past decade but has instead become even more prosperous!

Xiaoxiao becoming a Star Lord was considered a major event among humans.

A total of thirty-three star masters, each one a glory of humanity.

Therefore, the people of this city are proud of it.

It is precisely because of the presence of the Star Lord that this city is protected from the threats of the monsters outside.

One man can stand against an army of ten thousand!

More and more outsiders arrived in this small town, seeking refuge and opportunities for development.

This led to a gradual increase in the population of Fanggang, and many dilapidated buildings began to be demolished and rebuilt.

The half-destroyed small city has been rebuilt everywhere except for the central sinkhole.

The streets were bustling with a continuous flow of people, exuding extraordinary vibrancy.

At the edge of the field, several newly built villas stood there, each with a spacious courtyard.

The courtyard was vast and serene.

There are star masters here, making it akin to a forbidden zone; ordinary people could never get close.

Xiao Xiao seemed to have known all along that Lu Yu would return one day, and had these villas built in anticipation.

Now, these villas have also become the residence of Lu Yu’s mother.

Yang Qian stared blankly at the heavily locked iron door, lost in thought without knowing what she was thinking!

Lu Yu stepped forward, smashing the large gate and the wide courtyard wall, leaving the villa directly facing the broad street.

“Mom, is this okay?” Lu Yu looked at his mother with a smile.

Lu Yu knew that his mother had lived behind those courtyard walls for over a decade and had no desire to return to such a life anymore.

“Satisfied, satisfied!”

Yang Qian nodded with a smile!

Except for Lu Chenchen’s father, Lu Yu granted everyone else the qualification to enter the field.

As Huo Wu entered the domain, she immediately saw the crystal rotating in the sky.

“Domain!” Huo Wu exclaimed, looking up at the sky in surprise.

“It was obtained by chance, and I’ve never had time to develop it until now,” Lu Yu replied.

Huowu looked at Lu Yu in surprise and said, “You really don’t know what you’ve obtained?”

“Strong?!” Lu Yu sensed something off in Huo Wu’s tone, his heart skipping a beat slightly.

Huowu smiled and said, “The range of the Domain Crystal isn’t large—it doesn’t compare to the vast coverage of the illusionary realm. The illusionary realm has only defensive capabilities, whereas the Domain Crystal possesses both defensive and offensive abilities. It’s said that at its peak, the Domain Crystal’s power could even stop a Devil Monarch in their tracks. In the past, even Devil Monarchs found it extremely difficult to locate one. You’re truly fortunate to have obtained a piece.”

Huowu lightly sighed and said, “The last time I came here, I didn’t get close to this place. It seems I’ve missed out on a lot.”

Lu Yu inhaled sharply, astonished that he had actually obtained something so rare.

However, he soon regained his composure. After making proper arrangements for his mother, he took her along to visit some shops in the city, where they exchanged a few household items.

The busy day made Lu Yu feel very happy and also brought joy to Yang Qian.

Clean the room and arrange the furniture.

Not only did Huowu and Xiaoxiao take action personally, but even Shi Hu had brought eight companions from Nanjing.

Such a lineup would be nothing short of luxurious if used for warfare.

However, now the Demon Lord and the Star Lord are merely here cleaning and tidying up the rooms.

If the outside world were to see this, it would undoubtedly leave them absolutely stunned, with eyes popping out in disbelief.

Oh, the supreme overlords high above—who among them isn’t a figure whose mere movement across the Chinese land could trigger great calamities?

And now, they were actually all cleaning up the house.

Heaven and earth bear witness; absolutely no one can be trusted.

That day was very peaceful, without any disturbances.

But beneath the calm, the storm of this great battle is sweeping across the land, moving straight from the north toward the south!
