Chapter 890 The Only Variant
The divination results had a huge impact on Lu Yu, and he had yet to recover from them.
He swallowed nervously, slightly worried about what he had just witnessed.
He didn’t expect Wan Guliu would be defeated that quickly. Wouldn’t that mean he could only rely on himself to solve this crisis?
As Lu Yu thought about this, he looked at the Empress.
“Are you alright?”
“I… I’m alright. I’ve already mentally prepared myself. So although I am grieving, I’m already feeling much better.”
She laid the Clairvoyant down on the ground and stood up.
“Are you leaving now?”
Lu Yu nodded slightly. “I don’t have much time left. Lord Claine will lead his army to attack in a month, which means he is recovering from his slumber now.”
“If I could have attacked him when he had just recovered, it would have been easier to deal with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
The Empress nodded firmly. “If you need help, I will leave with you!”
“Empress, if you leave, who will protect this place?”
Nancy asked worriedly, as the Twilight Kingdom’s citizens didn’t have much combat power.
“If this crisis before us is not solved, this place will suffer eventually. Therefore, I will help out if I’m needed.”
Lu Yu sized her up and asked, “What are you good at?”
“Conceal and a.s.sa.s.sinate.”
“Since you want to come, why not? However, you have to be mentally prepared. The enemy you will be facing is not weak.”
The Empress was strong and was already at the rank of Starlight. There weren’t many others on the same level as here, even in the military.
“Alright, I can go with you now!”
She looked at Nancy and said solemnly, “I’ll leave the Clairvoyant’s funeral to you.”
“But she’s your family!”
Nancy blurted this out awkwardly.
“Of course, I know that. But we’re short on time to solve our current crisis. I’ll come back to visit her when everything is over.”
“Al… Alright then…”
The Empress looked at Lu Yu and asked, “Should we go now?”
Lu Yu looked back at the Death Spirit Dragon and answered her, “I’ve already accomplished all the goals I came here for. So there’s no point in me staying here. Let’s go.”
He came here for three things. One was to help the Nightmare Dragon return to his body, and the other was to help the Death Spirit Dragon obtain a new body. Lastly, he was here to visit the Clairvoyant and ask her to divine the future.
Lu Yu had finally learned the Ember Empire’s strategy, which was to dispatch Lord Claine to launch the first large-scale invasion one month later.
Moreover, Lu Yu already knew that Wan Guliu was weaker than Lord Claine. Lu Yu knew it was up to him to think of a way to deal with this first wave.
He took out two scrolls and handed one of them to the Empress.
“Here. Return with me to the Freedom Federation. We can leave once we’ve finished our preparations there.”
The Empress received the scroll and nodded.
Lu Yu pulled on the scroll as Nancy bid the Empress farewell.
The Empress pulled open the scroll, and two rays of light flashed, teleporting them away.
The Twilight Kingdom had lost its Empress and royal preceptor, which had caused their small country to lose its sense of security.
As the light dissipated…
Lu Yu opened his eyes and saw that he had appeared at the teleportation array in Ixdale.
There was an endless stream of people coming and going. People were talking and laughing; it was a lively and peaceful city.
However, Lu Yu knew that everyone here would be killed soon.
Lu Yu’s appearance attracted the attention of many people.
The Empress’s appearance also attracted countless gazes.
The Empress’s beauty made everyone stop in their tracks as they admired her beautiful appearance.
The Empress pursed her lips in disdain and said, “Have they not seen the world? Why are they staring at me?”
“Don’t you know what you look like? Don’t you know why they’re looking at you?”
The Empress smiled proudly. “Of course, it’s because of my ears!”
She twitched her cat ears and revealed a smug smile.
“You’re overthinking it. They’re just interested in your face and body.”
The Empress shrugged her shoulders at that.
There were many handsome men and beautiful women in the Twilight Kingdom. She was a beauty there, but it wasn’t anything outstanding.
However, things were different here. She quickly became the most noticeable person in the crowd.
“Isn’t that Lu Yu?”
“He came back?”
“Doesn’t he realize he’s offended that person? Many people are looking for him right now!”
“What brings him back? So much had happened in the time since his disappearance.”
“He’s certainly daring. How dare he return after having offended General Yan?”
The people around Lu Yu spoke loudly, but he didn’t care.
The Empress looked at Lu Yu curiously. “I didn’t expect you to be famous here. Oh, the att.i.tude of the people around you seems to be quite cold.”
Lu Yu shrugged his shoulders uncaringly. To the public, he was just someone slightly more talented than the average cultivator. To them, he was not far from getting a death sentence after offending a general.
Therefore, their att.i.tude toward Lu Yu was quite apathetic.
“What are you all looking at? Come and fight me if you have an opinion!”
Lu Yu glared at the onlookers around him, scaring them as they scattered away.
Lu Yu took out his phone and dialed Wan Guliu’s number.
After some waiting, the call finally got through.
“Lu Yu, you haven’t contacted me for a long time!”
Wan Guliu smiled amiably.
“Sir, do you have time now? I want to see you.”
“Of course I have time. You can come over anytime.”
“By the way, is my aunt doing well?”
“She… I tried to communicate with General Yan, but it was useless. She’s still in his base.”
“That sc.u.mbag General Yan. He can now go to h.e.l.l. Wait for me to arrive, and then I’ll kill him.”
Lu Yu stated it coldly and decisively.
“Are you confident?” Wan Guliu asked in surprise.
“Bah, confidence?” Do I have to be convinced about killing him? I’ll come to find you first, and you just tell me where I can find that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. I don’t have any spare time right now, so I won’t waste it on him!”
“Since you’ve said so, then come on over. I believe you have the strength!”
He hung up the phone after saying that.
Meanwhile, Lu Yu started walking toward a building in the center of Ixdale.
The Empress followed behind him, constantly looking at the skysc.r.a.pers excitedly.
“Is this the world now? Compared to a hundred years ago, it’s sure a ma.s.sive difference! I didn’t expect the world to develop so quickly!”
