C7317 Riches Come from Danger!
Since they were able to join the Demon Clan, they were naturally cowards. They did not expect to leave their lives here.
"Senior, we were forced to do this!"
Some people felt Lu Yu's thick killing intent and immediately begged.
However, Lu Yu turned a blind eye to their pleas.
"Since you have joined the Demon Clan, then don't live anymore." Lu Yu's body was surrounded by a vast golden light. He raised his hand and punched out. The power of the fist was overwhelming, and it was as if it could break through bamboo. It actually killed all of the cultivators.
The shattered bodies of the cultivators flew in all directions. In the blink of an eye, there were no more cultivators alive in front of the entire city.
The surroundings regained their calm. Only then did the people in the city let out waves of cheers.
"Senior, thank you for saving us." A weak voice came from the city. A group of people walked out and bowed to Lu Yu.
They were extremely weak, and some of them were even as thin as firewood.
The entire city seemed to be quite large, but there were only a few hundred people walking out, which was quite a small number.
"How come there are only these few people here?" Lu Yu asked.
This place should be considered an extremely prosperous city in this world. Unfortunately, the scene in front of him was a scene of devastation. Everyone was withered.
"Before this, this place was already occupied by the Demon Race."
A middle-aged man walked out and shook his head as he sighed, "They wantonly slaughtered people here, causing many people to die. After that, we found a chance to kill a few of their guards, and then we recaptured the city."
A trace of sorrow suddenly flashed across his face. "We originally had over two thousand people, but later on, the Demon Race sent many humans to join them, causing us to kill each other. We also lost many people. Now, the entire city is only left with us."
A trace of desolation flashed across the faces of the others.
On the territory controlled by the Demon Race, they had nowhere to run. Even if they escaped from the city, they might be captured by the Demon Race.
Now that they were trapped here, although they did not die for now, they were only waiting for death.
"Which world is this?" Lu Yu asked.
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Lu Yu explained, "My name is Lu Yu, and I am the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire. I am one of the dukes who participated in the Ten Thousand Mile Alliance Meet this time."
"So you are a duke. No wonder... The people of the Ten Thousand Mile Alliance have already left." The middle-aged man shook his head.
"The people of the Ten Thousand Mile Alliance? Isn't this Zhu Cai Lan's territory?" Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Although this place was the Ten Thousand Mile Alliance's territory in name, in reality, it was controlled by Zhu Cai Lan.
Zhu Cai Lan was the local tyrant here.
"It's her! The elder in charge of guarding this place is Zhu Cai Lan's trusted aide!"
The middle-aged man said with a face full of anger, "This is the Clouds Heaven, the most bordered place in the Bedlam Lands. We have long since discovered the movements of the Demon Race and reported it to that elder. I didn't expect that elder to swear to us that the Demon Race would never use force, and that the Soul Casting Heaven would also send people to help us."
"But who would have thought that when the Demon Race truly attacked, all of these people would have run away without a trace. That elder had already left long ago, and they didn't even notify us. They took away all the resources and left."
The middle-aged man said angrily, "They wanted us to be cannon fodder to delay the Demon Race's advance!"
"No wonder!"
Lu Yu's eyes flashed with a bright light.
The Qin army under his command was caught off guard by the Demon Race's sneak attack because of the sudden disappearance of the Soul Casting Heaven's defensive line, resulting in heavy losses.
The Qin army still had the strength to fight, but these people in front of him were not so lucky.
"All of you should try your best to hide. Don't let the Demon Clan catch you." Lu Yu flicked his finger and threw a few medicinal pills into the middle-aged man's hands.
The middle-aged man was overjoyed. He held the medicine in his hand as if it was a treasure. He then looked at Lu Yu carefully and asked, "I wonder where your subordinates are. Can you take us away first?"
"No, I am the only one here." Lu Yu shook his head.
"Only one person?"
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned. He obviously did not expect such an answer.
"One person is enough." Lu Yu said indifferently.
Many people looked at Lu Yu with doubt. The middle-aged man also smiled awkwardly and quickly reminded him, "Senior, your skills are indeed outstanding, but there are also experts among the demons."
"Oh? How many experts do they have?" Lu Yu asked.
"There are no need to talk about the other small demons under their command. There are ten Demon Kings in the quasi-Emperor Realm!" The middle-aged man reminded anxiously.
"There are actually ten quasi-Emperor Demon Kings!"
What they did not expect was that Lu Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this news, and he looked extremely excited.
"That's right, that's right..." The middle-aged man looked at Lu Yu with some doubt, not understanding why Lu Yu would react this way.
"Good! Very good! This should be the nest of the demons. I came precisely here!"
Lu Yu looked at the middle-aged man and instructed, "You people better hide. The demons here won't be able to live for long."
After saying that, Lu Yu flew away from the area where everyone was stunned.
Currently, the calamity of life and death was still floating above Lu Yu's head, and it could be crushed at any time. This matter was extremely dangerous, so he obviously could not waste time here.
"However, the Demon Race actually groomed their own subordinates..." Lu Yu muttered.
He suddenly remembered the people slaves that he had reared in the Demon Land.
However, those people slaves were all used as sacrifices to the Holy Demon Door.
And now, the Demon Race had actually upgraded their strategy. They no longer purely needed human beings as sacrifices, but instead took them under their control and used them for their own purposes.
If in the future, there were human beings who acted as spies, it would be very difficult for anyone to guard against them.
"Back then, Lu Dongtian of the Transcending Heaven Sect had colluded with the Demon Race. This is not the first time they have cooperated. I should have thought of this a long time ago." Lu Yu muttered.
Now, it was already very difficult to distinguish who was an ally and who was a helper of the Demon Race.
Only by unifying the entire Bedlam Lands and establishing a great empire could they avoid such a thing from happening.
"Lu Yu, are you really planning to face those ten quasi-Emperor level Demon Kings? This is a battle that exceeds the realm. If you are not careful, you will die." Green Cow hurriedly reminded him.
"It's fine. Wealth comes from danger!"
Lu Yu's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "The calamity of life and death above my head may fall at any time. I must increase my cultivation level as soon as possible."
