Chapter 217: Demon Who Was Freed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Before long, the funds for reconstruction from the Song family were transferred into Lunan City steadily. The reconstruction work went into high gear.

The City Lord’s Office and the residence for the Count of Western Conquest were also starting construction. Lu Yu personally supervised the reconstruction work of Lunan City.

Since it was a complete tear-down and rebuild from scratch, he decided he might as well build Lunan City into a far bigger city than before, equipped with both offensive and defensive systems.

Thus, Lu Yu and Song Lun, with the array formation diagram in their hands, buried several giant array formation corners. This array formation diagram was discovered by Lu Yu in the treasure vault of the Gamma Military Zone. It needed to be planted on a foundation with a vast amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth in order to bring out its most potent power.

Coincidentally, spiritual energy of heaven and earth was found in abundance in the underground of Lunan City!

When that massive spiritual energy ore mine was reported to the federal government, the federal government was very shocked. Just a few days ago, Yao Xianming and Ji Xi personally came to inspect the area. After getting the full picture of the spiritual energy mineral ore vein, they both got a rude shock as well.

“The Ying family has a really big appetite. To think they wanted to grab this spiritual energy mineral ore vein all for themselves.” Ji Xi gave a scornful smile.

Thereafter, the spiritual energy mineral ore veins were thoroughly surveyed. They found that the roots of the spiritual energy mineral ore veins existed deep into the ground, which could not be wantonly dug up, otherwise the spiritual energy of heaven and earth under the whole Lunan City would be scattered and lost.

Therefore, after it was reported to the capital, the capital preserved the roots of the spiritual energy mineral ore mine and did not ship every ounce of ore away.

Although Lunan City had to hand over the spiritual energy mineral ores every year to the authorities, even with the roots of the spirit energy mineral ore mine, the production of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was still considerable. Thus, Lu Yu was able to set up such an array formation.

“Lord Lu, what a grand scale. Are you going to transform your fiefdom into a huge battle fortress?”

Song Lun could tell Lu Yu’s intentions at a glance and gave a light-hearted laugh. In truth, their Song family, the rest of the four great families and some other families which were more influential also owned land and properties.

They, too, transformed those assets into battle fortresses. In his mind, what Lu Yu was doing was not surprising.

“Mr. Song, if you do a good job, you can’t lose by cooperating with me. When this huge array formation is completed, it will gather a massive amount of spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Your own cultivation progress will also be twice as efficient with half the effort. Your strength will definitely soar to greater heights,” Lu Yu said.

Song Lun was also very tempted. His cultivation had stagnated at Great Grand Master Grade 5 for more than 30 years. No matter what he tried, he simply could not break through. Perhaps this would turn into a breakthrough opportunity for him.

Therefore, in the supervisory work thereafter, Song Lun was the most dedicated staff and personally took care of many things himself.

And Lu Yu was just a hands-off boss. During this period, he kept on strengthening his own realm.

Ever since he awakened the Gluttony Talent, for more than a year, his cultivation progress had been advancing by leaps and bounds. From a Martial Arts Warrior, he progressed to become a Great Grand Master Grade 9 cultivator in one leap. There was no holding back at any point.

However, at such a swift speed, there would inevitably be some unstable parts in the foundation. Lu Yu slowed down his progress and was in no hurry to break through to the War General level.

The War General realm was the real watershed. The metamorphosis that occurred was also a world of difference. The deeper the cultivator’s foundation, the stronger the strength he would possess after he achieved a breakthrough to this realm.

During this period of exploration, Lu Yu became more familiar with more of his skills. Thus, he gradually shifted his focus to the techniques.

The ‘Major Circumambulation Breathing Technique’, ‘Heavenly Saber’s Method’ and ‘Emerald Emperor’s Method’ were also cultivated to the Major Achievement Stage. He was just one step away from the Perfection Stage. His strength once more underwent some substantial change.

Although he was still not a War General yet, the aura he emanated was sufficient to strike fear in a War General.

Lu Yu said in a low voice, “It’s not a stretch to say that below the level of War General, I am the most powerful expert.”

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Both Yao Xianming and Ji Xi had returned to the capital to report on the completed missions. Before leaving, Yao Xianming cupped his hands and said, “Count of Western Conquest, please proceed to the capital for the conferment ceremony as soon as possible. After that, there will naturally be less trouble.”

Clearly, there was some underlying meaning in Yao Xianming’s words. He was hinting to Lu Yu that the sooner the conferment ceremony took place, the less likely the Ying family would try to make a move against him.

“Commander Yao, I understand.” Lu Yu answered and reciprocated with the cupping of his hands too.

Two more days passed. The fledgling outline of the rebuilt Lunan City had taken shape, so it was time to go to the capital. However, before that, there was one more thing he had to settle.

Simply having an array formation without a truly powerful expert stationed here during Lu Yu’s absence would make Lunan City no different from a dish of succulent, scrumptious food that tempted people to commit a sin.

Lu Yu, the powerful expert stationed here at present, thought of the Demon trapped in the bead. However, he immediately frowned after that.

He was worried that this fellow would rebel in his absence.

A few moments later, Lu Yu took out the bead in his Excellence Dojo. The

Demon trapped inside sensed Lu Yu’s aura and said in a bad-tempered manner,

“What? What’s the matter?”

“I have decided to release you now. But before that, we have to come to an agreement.” Lu Yu said.

As soon as he heard that he was about to see the light of day again, the Demon was so excited that he could not contain himself. He laughed out loud, “Hahaha… No problem, we can talk about everything. But first, tell me how you want to make this agreement.”

He might have been trapped in the darkness for 50 years, but his brain wasn’t broken. Therefore, he had to first ask what kind of deal it was.

“First, without my permission, your activities can only be limited to Lunan City, and you cannot kill wantonly.”

“Second, you need to work for me for free for 10 years to ensure the safety of my fiefdom.”

“Third, during these 10 years when you work for me for free, you must be scrupulous in your duties. When the time comes, I will provide you with a brand new identity to live under the sun like a normal person.”

The Demon trapped inside the bead agreed immediately without thinking. These rules that came with the agreement were nothing compared to the chance of seeing the daylight again.

Soon, Lu Yu lifted the seal on the bead. The aura of a War General billowed out, vast and mighty. When it was about to break out of the Excellence Dojo’s premises, Lu Yu activated Illusionary Realm Kingdom in advance to stop it.

“Hahaha… I’m finally free again! ” With a crack, the bead shattered and a cloud of dense demonic energy surged out.

A two-meters tall man with thick, deep-set eyes and a pair of bull’s horns appeared in front of Lu Yu clad in black robes. At this moment, a wild bestial power was released, making people shake in fear.

The instant he was freed, this man turned around straightaway with a hostile, brutal expression. A massive aura converged and he blasted one palm strike at

“Dream on, you asshole! You want me to be your free labor? Are you qualified?”

This man had a scornful look on his face. That tremendous power contained in this palm strike instantly erupted to rock the rebuilt Excellence Dojo dangerously.

And Lu Yu seemed to have been prepared for this renegade’s betrayal. He remained calm and relaxed. With a gentle wave of his hand, the Illusionary

Realm Kingdom contracted and suppressed the War General’s aura within it..
