“What? Lu Yu is back? Is this news really true?”

Yan Hong’s body trembled as he squeezed Qin Cheng’s arm tightly, his face filled with disbelief.

Qin Cheng braced himself and said, “City Lord, I saw this with my own eyes. It is every inch the truth.”

Not long ago, he had said that Lu Yu had also died in the blood-sucking wasteland. Now that he had returned alive, Qin Cheng had undoubtedly slapped himself in the face.

Yan Hong shook his head and said in shock, “Impossible, this is absolutely impossible.”

Among the eight experts of the four dojos, four of the dojo masters were Great Martial Masters. All of them had perished in the blood-sucking wasteland. Under normal circumstances, there was no chance that Lu Yu could survive. There was definitely something fishy about this.

“City Lord Yan, how have you been?”

Jiang Yunhu paid a visit to the City Lord’s Office. Before he appeared, his booming voice had reached their ears. His powerful voice shook the City Lord’s Office, sending out reverberations.

Yan Hong chuckled faintly. “So it’s Elder Jiang. What brings you to my City Lord’s Office?”

More than a hundred years ago, this Jiang Yunhu was a cultivator at the Junior Grand Master level. Although it had been so many years and he had yet to achieve a breakthrough, his strength should not be underestimated.

“Hmph! City Lord Yan, in terms of seniority, I’m your elder, so I’ll speak my mind directly.”

“The main and deputy dojo masters of the four dojos probably have other motives for going into the blood-sucking wasteland, right?”

Jiang Yunhu said in an icy cold tone, his expression extremely unfriendly.

In the West Universe Dojo, he had heard some secret news that the four dojos’ main and deputy dojo masters had ventured into the blood-sucking wasteland to execute Lu Yu.

Yan Hong must have instigated this, so Jiang Yunhu naturally didn’t display an amicable expression on his face. Moreover, on the way to the City Lord’s Office, he had heard the news that Lu Yu had returned alive. He had a vague suspicion in his heart.

Yan Hong sighed and could only tell the truth. “The four dojos and I have always been on the same side. Why would I harm the four dojos?”

“I did come up with the plan to go into the blood-sucking wasteland to assassinate Lu Yu, but I never expected that all the dojo masters of the four dojos would perish in the blood-sucking wasteland, while Lu Yu returned alive. It’s simply unbelievable.”

Immediately, Jiang Yunlong’s body trembled, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

In that case, Lu Yu was definitely responsible for Jiang Zilong’s death.

Jiang Yunlong’s killing intent had completely erupted. He couldn’t wait to charge into the Central Dojo, capture Lu Yu, and interrogate him mercilessly.

Yan Hong cupped his hands and said in a chilly voice, “Elder Jiang, don’t be anxious. I was going to visit Lu Yu. Why don’t we go together?”

The Military Lord Xu Qingguo had already left Lunan City before Lu Yu returned. Now, he was the penultimate authority in Lunan City. Without anything to rely on, what could Lu Yu use to fight him?

“City Lord! Urgent Report!”

At this moment, a guard from the City Lord’s Office jogged over quickly and said in a panic, “Lu Yu, after he returned to the Central Dojo, he immediately…”

Qin Cheng said, “Take your time to speak.”

“He declared war on the Distant North Dojo immediately and has already brought a group of people to challenge it!”

The guard finally blurted out his words.

Yan Hong’s eyes widened. He didn’t know that Lu Yu was so bold as to declare war on the Distant North Dojo right away.

“Is this Lu Yu trying to flex his muscles at me?”

Yan Hong’s face darkened. He had not expected Lu Yu to counterattack the moment he returned.

The news of the declaration of war spread throughout the entire Lunan City. All the cultivators in Lunan City were dumbfounded. Was the Honorable Mr. Lu going to swallow the Distant North Dojo?

Every satellite city in Flame Country had extremely limited training resources. This was particularly so for Lunan City. If the Central Dojo wanted to rise, it had to challenge the other four dojos. This day would come sooner or later.

However, he did not expect this day to arrive so quickly. The Central Dojo had just been established not long ago and its foundation in Lunan City had not stabilized.

“Mr. Lu is too anxious. He should know that although the Distant North Dojo is ranked at the bottom of the four dojos, his newly established dojo is still no match for the well-established reputable dojo.”

“No, I think his timing is just right. The dojo master of the Distant North Dojo has just died, and the dojo’s strength has been greatly reduced. Now, it’s the best chance to swallow the dojo.”

Some people objected, while others gave their support. Everyone had their opinions.

The West Universe Dojo, the East End Dojo, and the Southern Star Dojo were all watching Lu Yu’s every move.

The letter of challenge was delivered to the Distant North Dojo, which was still in the midst of an internal strife. The cultivators of the Distant North Dojo were all dumbfounded. A moment later, the Distant North Dojo, which was in a state of disunity, immediately gave up on fighting for the position of the dojo master, and united in the face of a common enemy.

“How dare he!”

“Hehe… Lu Yu, you had just barely escaped with your life from the blood-sucking wasteland. Are you so eager to come here to die?”

“He should not make the mistake of thinking that he can trample all over us just because our dojo master has died. If he dares to come, we’ll make sure he doesn’t leave this place!”

The Martial Masters of the Distant North Dojo raised their arms and roared loudly. Their expressions were incredibly angry, as if they wanted to tear Lu Yu into pieces.

Two hours later.

Lu Yu brought Song Yu, Qin Yong, and the rest to the Distant North Dojo. The cultivators of the Distant North Dojo were already waiting with solemn and murderous expressions.

Song Yu looked at the cultivators of the Distant North Dojo, standing united as if they were facing a common enemy and mocked them, “Yo, I didn’t expect that the Distant North Dojo, which has been fighting among themselves, would one day stand on the same united front as one.”

The cultivators of the Distant North Dojo ignored Song Yu.

An old man stepped forward in wide imposing strides, with a dignified aura. His name was Yi Han, a Great Martial Master and the most senior member in the Distant North Dojo.

Yi Han stared at Lu Yu and shouted, “Lu Yu, kowtow to me three times for what happened today. Then, I can let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, I will make sure you will never leave this place!”

Lu Yu replied with a sneer, “Are you having your wildest dream right now?”

The experts of the four dojos had joined forces in the blood-sucking wasteland to kill him. How could he not seek vengeance for such a huge grudge?

“You guys are allowed to attack me, but I’m not allowed to retaliate?”

“Today, I’m here to challenge your dojo!”

“Whoever wins can take over the jurisdiction of this area and obtain all the other party’s training resources. Do you guys dare to accept this challenge?”

Lu Yu stood in front of the Distant North Dojo. His overpowering strength erupted like a huge mountain, bringing with it a powerful pressure.

“Why wouldn’t we?”

“Lu Yu, we will fight you to the death!”

The cultivators from the Distant North Dojo swarmed forward and charged towards Song Yu, Qin Yong, and the others. Immediately, all kinds of attribute powers erupted!

This whole place had turned into a battlefield. The intensity of the battle stunned the other martial arts practitioners of Lunan City who were watching from afar.

This was a fight to the death, leaving no room for negotiation.

The other Great Martial Master of the Distant North Dojo’s eyes flickered with a malevolent light. He immediately dashed towards Lu Yu and bashed down with the huge mace in his hand.

“Chaotic Dragon Mace!”

The Great Martial Master roared angrily. With the power to split mountains and shatter cities, the ground cracked open as he slammed down towards Lu Yu.

Lu Yu calmly and leisurely took out the Dragon Blood Battle Saber from his interspatial ring.

It was time to deploy this S-class weapon for some actual combat.

In the face of this confrontation, Lu Yu also slashed out with his Dragon Blood Battle Saber viciously. An explosion of power erupted, shattering the ground beneath his feet. An even wider and longer crack spread out swiftly towards this Great Martial Master.
