97: Pioneer, the rules of the Lord!

“Recently, do not stray too far from Jiangzhou City. Cultivate and patrol within the city. It might not be peaceful lately, so look out for each other and don't get caught alone.”

Lu Yu ignored the anxious Li Changan, and instead looked at the Firebird and other Ferocious Beasts, instructing them:

“All rules remain the same. If any short-sighted Ferocious Beasts provoke you, give them a good lesson. Remember this: we don’t stir up trouble, but that absolutely doesn’t mean we’re afraid of it. Whatever happens, I’ll have your back.”

Lu Yu’s words were calm, but the meaning within them was extremely overbearing.

“Rest assured, Honored Master, Jiangzhou City is our territory. Anyone who dares to covet Jiangzhou City will surely regret it!”

The Firebird, Golden Ape, and other Ferocious Beasts all grinned, their backs ramrod straight.

The worries they had just felt vanished completely with Lu Yu’s words...

A hundred miles outside Jiangzhou City, high in the clear sky, a Sabertooth Tiger with two wings on its back suddenly streaked across the sky, leaving a long white trail.

The powerful aura of a Tier C Ferocious Beast rained down on the land it passed over.

All Ferocious Beasts that sensed this aura trembled, either scurrying back into their caves or burying their heads in the dirt.

“The Great King is still too cautious. We are already within a hundred miles of Jiangzhou City, yet we haven't sensed the aura of a single Tier C Ferocious Beast. They are pitifully weak.”

This Sabertooth Tiger looked down at the jungle below with a disdainful gaze, its expression full of arrogance.

As the top Ferocious Beast under South Korea’s Tier B Saint King, and one of the Ferocious Beasts that had entered Tier C a long time ago, its tail was already wagging in the sky.

This trip, seemingly to test Lu Yu, was actually to force him to give up Jiangzhou City!

As it sped up, approaching Jiangzhou City, a black two-headed snake swam out of the distant void, catching up at an extremely fast pace, and even showing signs of overtaking it.

“Isn’t this Black Snake? Haven’t seen you in a few days, and you’re still alive. That’s extremely disappointing to me.”

Seeing the Black Snake trying to overtake it, the Sabertooth Tiger immediately spoke in a sarcastic tone.

This black snake was a Ferocious Beast under the Island Nation’s Snake King, and also one of its mortal enemies; it would recognize it even if it were turned to ash!

The black snake rolled its eyes, snorted coldly, “Little tiger, flying so fast, in a hurry to be reborn? I advise you to fly slower. When I arrive at Jiangzhou City, that Golden Eagle will surely fear the Snake King's prestige and surrender the city. You going there would just be a wasted trip!”

With that, it suddenly accelerated.

“Nonsense! The Saint King’s name resounds across Blue Star. If that Golden Eagle surrenders, it will only surrender to the Saint King. Jiangzhou City belongs to the Saint King!”

The Sabertooth Tiger was not to be outdone, its two wings beating much faster, creating a series of afterimages. It was determined to reach Jiangzhou City faster than the black snake.

“Bullshit! The Snake King is a descendant of Yamata no Orochi. Compared to that mixed-blood fellow, he is countless times nobler. Such a treasure land, only the Snake King is qualified to occupy!”

The black snake’s eyes widened, and it began to argue with the Sabertooth Tiger.

As they chased each other, other Ferocious Beast vanguards sent by Tier B Ferocious Beasts also arrived one after another.

The sky near Jiangzhou City had unknowingly been covered by dark clouds, creating a very oppressive atmosphere, like a brewing storm.

Shortly after.

When the black snake and the Sabertooth Tiger arrived a thousand meters outside Jiangzhou City, they were instantly drawn to the dazzling spiritual light of Jiangzhou City, capturing all their attention.

Before coming here, they had specifically learned about the situation in Jiangzhou City, knowing that the spiritual energy here was unusually dense, far exceeding the feng shui treasure lands in various parts of Blue Star.

However, truly approaching here, their hearts were still greatly shaken.

The spiritual energy from all directions of heaven and earth was attracted to Jiangzhou City, like thousands of rivers flowing through the sky, converging into the vast sea within Jiangzhou City.

Throughout Jiangzhou City, spiritual energy surged like a dense fog, confined within a faint purple protective shield. Under the sunlight, it refracted into colorful light, dazzling to the eyes, like a celestial palace.

Just one glance made them unable to look away, their minds seemingly immersed within it.

Then, as they drew closer to Jiangzhou City, the spiritual energy in the air became even denser, causing the spiritual energy they had consumed during their chase to rapidly recover.

Such dense spiritual energy far exceeded their previous imagination.

It made them recall the rumors about the spiritual energy outburst in Jiangzhou City.

Some news mentioned that Jiangzhou City was a treasure land created by heaven to gather spiritual energy, and Lu Yu was merely lucky enough to occupy it early and enjoy a wave of benefits.

They had also thought that way at the time.

However, actually coming here, they felt that another rumor might be more accurate.

The anomaly in Jiangzhou City was created by Lu Yu himself!

Heaven’s creation couldn't be such a coincidence!

Whether it was the purple barrier that perfectly covered the edge of Jiangzhou City, or the nine mountain peaks that just happened to rise, it was clearly a result of perfect planning.

It perfectly confined the gathered spiritual energy within Jiangzhou City!

And the spiritual energy gathered from all directions of heaven and earth flowed steadily and continuously, unlike other treasure lands that experience periodic changes.

Although they didn't know how Lu Yu managed it, this further fueled the greed in their hearts.

Such a treasure land, allowing Lu Yu to occupy it, was simply a waste of natural resources!

Only they were worthy of occupying it!

Their greed grew stronger, and unknowingly, they had already arrived at the entrance of Jiangzhou City.

Just as they were about to fly directly into Jiangzhou City, a large staff suddenly struck through the air, forcing them to stop quickly.

“Halt! Jiangzhou City is an aerial exclusion zone. To enter the city, you must first pay a one million yuan entrance fee!”

The staff plunged heavily into the ground, standing there like a towering pillar. A Golden Ape, with a body of golden fur, flew up and stood on the staff.

An overbearing aura, like an invisible barrier, blocked their path.

The black snake and the Sabertooth Tiger, who had been stopped, coldly glanced at the Golden Ape.

From the information they had gathered, this Golden Ape should be a Tier C Ferocious Beast under Lu Yu.

Immediately, the Sabertooth Tiger’s eyes widened, and it was the first to scold, “Get out of the way! I am the Sabertooth Tiger under the Saint King, here to discuss important matters with your Great Golden Eagle King. Have your Great King quickly come out to greet me in the city!”

The Golden Ape picked its ear, tilting its head to look at it, “What gibberish are you chirping? Your Great King wants to surrender? What day is he coming?”

“Are you deaf! I represent the Saint King and have urgent matters to discuss with your Great King. If you delay important matters, can you bear the responsibility?”

The Sabertooth Tiger roared furiously, “Also, if your ears don’t work, get lost and send someone who can hear! You’re wasting my precious time!”

The Golden Ape looked at the Sabertooth Tiger as if it were an idiot. Even though it knew that Ferocious Beasts would definitely come to cause trouble recently, it still hadn't expected them to be so arrogant.

And it had a lot of experience dealing with such Ferocious Beasts.

What to do when a Ferocious Beast is disobedient?

Just beat it up!
