Chapter 626 An Accident
Everyone was gathered in the upper house’s stronghold, waiting for Lu Yu’s orders.
“Our adversary is right in front of us, and they’re obviously on their way to get us. We must now avoid a battle while minimizing our losses.”
The majority of those present agreed with Lu Yu’s words. After all, n.o.body wanted to bet their lives on a losing fight.
“Let us begin the teleportation. Take out your scrolls and teleport to the mines; we’ll take refuge there.”
“Captain, who are the enemies?” One of them raised his hand to inquire.
“The Truth Department.”
“Huh? Weren’t we done fighting that organization?”
“Their headquarters weren’t in the Lionheart Empire or the Freedom Federation. It’s here,” Lu Yu added.
Everyone couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva after hearing that.
They knew they were mortal enemies with the Truth Department. Were they not looking for death, coming to where their enemy’s headquarters was located?
“We’re not yet a match for them, so let’s leave and figure out something later.”
“So, what should we do? Will we still be discovered by the enemy when we arrive at the mines?” Someone else asked.
“We’ve excavated a lot of Claine Crystals,” Lu Yu explained. “If the enemy can still locate us, we will open a portal and leave the ancient ruins!”
Everyone in the room felt relieved when they heard this.
“We’re relieved to hear that, captain. Let’s leave right away.”
Everyone took out their scrolls and unrolled them!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
For an hour, light rays flickered, and they disappeared one after the other. The teleportation scroll was effective, but it was consumable.
They were all teleported away, and the square was emptied.
“Where has Jiang Ning gone?” Lu Yu asked, looking at Qin Yang.
“I looked everywhere but couldn’t find her. She could be at the mines.”
Qin Yang replied.
“Didn’t I ask her to watch over you?” Lu Yu inquired.
“She had something to do, so she delegated that to someone else. The mines should have encountered a problem.”
Lu Yu gave a slight nod. “Okay, I got it. You guys should hurry to the mines.”
Xu Yuan and the others took their scrolls out after Lu Yu finished speaking.
Lu Yu turned around and saw the black mist approaching. The Death Spirit Dragon’s speed was beyond Lu Yu’s expectations.
“Okay, let’s go. I’ll stay here for a while before heading out. I’m curious about the appearance of this Death Spirit Dragon and the ident.i.ty of the dragon-rearing master.”
Xu Yuan and the others nodded. “We’ll take our leave. You must be careful!”
They were not concerned about Lu Yu staying alone here. After all, the Death Spirit Dragon’s Undead Fire was ineffective against Lu Yu. Lu Yu was also quick on his feet, and he had the ability to flee if he so desired.
Even if he was pursued by the Death Spirit Dragon, he still possessed the Death Spirit Dragon’s soul, which could be used as a bargaining chip.
Xu Yuan and the others soon teleported back to the mines.
Han Xuefei approached Lu Yu and patted his shoulder. “Are you going to exact revenge for Su Qing?”
Lu Yu shook his head firmly. “I’m not that rash, and I’m not yet their match. I just want to see who the enemy is!”
“All right, I’ll wait for you over there…”
Han Xuefei also teleported to the mines after saying that.
The entire stronghold was emptied, leaving Lu Yu alone.
At that point, an ethereal voice sounded.
“My body will be here soon. Argh, I really want to return to it. Staying here is aggravating.”
“How are you planning on doing that? Would you just abandon my body and fly over?”
“It’s not that easy. First and foremost, you must kill the dragon-rearing master who is bound to my body. Only then could my soul return to my body.”
“Are you sure? Doesn’t that mean you’ll have to rely on me to finish it?”
“Are you a match for that dragon-rearing master? I doubt that.”
“Shut up!”
Lu Yu chastised it angrily, causing it to stop talking immediately.
As the black mist approached, the fire spread out. The Death Spirit Dragon spewed flames as it flew through the sky, burning everything.
What a destructive dragon.
Life was insignificant back when dragons were more common. These dragons were the apex of ferocious beasts, and those who could tame them were the stuff of legends.
Lu Yu leaped to the fortress walls, his gaze fixed on the approaching black mist about 2,000 meters away.
“I’m going to kill them all sooner or later!”
“I believe you are capable…” The Death Spirit Dragon quipped in.
“Are you still not leaving? Don’t worry; I’ll a.s.sist you in avoiding the Death Spirit Dragon’s detection.” The Death Spirit Dragon’s soul spoke up.
“Will you continue to follow me if you return to your body one day?” Lu Yu abruptly asked.
“I’m not following you,” the Death Spirit Dragon’s soul stated. “I had no choice because you had sealed me inside of you.”
“It’s hard to say if you’re talking about the future. Also, how could a dragon with free will submit to a human?”
Lu Yu nodded slightly as he looked into the distance. “Yes, indeed…”
A voice came over the walkie-talkie.
“Can you hear me, Brother Lu Yu? There’s an emergency here!”
Lu Yu quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie and asked, “What trouble? Is there an enemy?”
“No, we just gathered everyone, but Jiang Ning isn’t here either!”
“What? Where is she?”
“Uh… Maybe… Perhaps she’s in a corner. Do I need to look for her again?”
“That isn’t possible. Have you dialed her number on the walkie-talkie? If she is nearby, she will undoubtedly receive a signal.”
“Then… where could she possibly be?”
Lu Yu let out a long sigh. “I’ll take a look around. She could still be inside the stronghold.”
After turning off Qin Yang’s signal, Lu Yu quickly dialed Jiang Ning’s. The walkie-talkie was similar to a mobile phone in that it could dial different signals.
Ssssshaaa…
He spent a long time dialing in but couldn’t get through to Jiang Ning.
“Where is she? Where…”
Lu Yu clenched his grip on the walkie-talkie and mumbled nervously.
Sshhhaaaa…
Qin Yang’s voice could be heard once more.
“I found her!”
“Jiang Ning’s at the mines? Don’t frighten me over nothing; be more cautious when looking for someone in the future!”
“I found some clues,” Qin Yang said helplessly after a brief silence. “Someone here mentioned that he was sick and needed a valuable herb, so Jiang Ning went out to find it…”
“Someone from the mines or the stronghold?”
“The stronghold.”
“She’s the vice-captain; why would she be out looking for herbs?”
“She is aware of this and felt that watching me would be a waste of time, so she had someone else take over while she went out to look for this herb.”
Lu Yu’s expression darkened immediately, and he put down the walkie-talkie.
He looked around at the vast green forest before him, unsure of how to start searching.
He re-dialed her walkie-talkie and continued to look for Jiang Ning’s signal.
The Death Spirit Dragon was closing in on them. From 1,000 to 500 to 300 meters…
