Lu Yu gave Chu Qinglin a fist in palm salute.

“Master Qinglin, it’s been hard on you,” Lu Yu said gratefully.

Although it was a simple sentence, Lu Yu’s expression was extremely respectful.

Lu Yu would remember this debt of gratitude in his heart.

After the matter of revenge was settled, he would definitely repay Chu Qinglin’s kindness.

Chu Qinglin gave a nod of approval in his heart, while his face displayed a look of quiet satisfaction.

However, on the surface, Chu Qinglin pretended to wave his hand impatiently and said, “Alright, alright.
The weapon has been completed.
You can leave now.
Don’t disturb my retirement anymore.”

Seeing this, Chu Shiyu didn’t pester him anymore.
After thanking Chu Qinglin, she bade him farewell.

Soon, Chu Qinglin returned to his house and closed the door.

Chu Shiyu looked at Lu Yu and asked, “Are you planning to take revenge on the City Lord and the people at the four dojos now?”

Song Yu, Qin Yong, and the others couldn’t help but look at Lu Yu when they heard that.

“Captain Lu has already eliminated the dojo masters and deputy dojo masters of these four dojos.
The elite experts have already been disposed of.
It shouldn’t be difficult for Captain Lu to take revenge on them, right?” Qin Yong couldn’t help blurting out.

As for the City Lord’s Office, the staff were mainly office-work employees, and they didn’t have many powerful experts there.

Moreover, Lu Yu had already broken through to the Great Grand Master level so he was an extremely powerful expert.
It shouldn’t be difficult for him to take revenge on the City Lord and the rest.

Song Yu, who was standing beside him, also agreed.
“The City Lord and the people from the four dojos have gone too far.
We must take revenge!”

When Chu Shiyu heard this, she said with a hint of worry, “Do not make the mistake of thinking that because the main and deputy dojo masters of those four dojos have been killed, there aren’t many experts left.
Since he can rise to become the City Lord, he naturally has some tricks up his sleeve and other trump cards.
It’s still better to be cautious.”

However, Lu Yu’s face was filled with determination.

Lu Yu also understood Chu Shiyu’s well-meaning intentions.

Although that guy was merely the City Lord of tiny Lunan City, he had been a City Lord for so many years.
He would definitely have a lot of inside information or connections, as well as more hidden trump cards.
It would not be that straightforward to take revenge on him.

Nonetheless, the City Lord and the people from the four dojos had really gone too far this time.
Lu Yu could not let them off.

As for trump cards, Lu Yu also had some of his own.
He was still quite confident in himself.

“I’ve already made up my mind.
I must take revenge this time,” Lu Yu said without emotion.

Seeing that Lu Yu had already made up his mind, Chu Shiyu didn’t try to dissuade him anymore.

In any case, Lu Yu had the strength of a Great Grand Master.
Now that he also had this powerful S-class weapon, the Dragon Blood Battle Saber, to back him up.
It was very difficult for him to lose.

“Alright, but I still have a bunch of things to deal with after escaping, so I’ll take my leave first.
I will always remember this debt whereby you saved my life.
If you need any help, you can always contact me,” Chu Shiyu said.
Thereafter, she bade everyone farewell and left.

That left Song Yu, Qin Yong, and the others, who had no intention of leaving.

Seeing this, Lu Yu looked at them and said, “I’ll carry out my revenge alone.
You guys don’t have to get involved.
You can leave now.”

However, Song Yu shook her head and insisted on tagging along.
“No, you saved my life.
I haven’t really repaid you yet.
This time, I’ll help you.
Besides, I’m a member of the 4th squadron.
I should be following you anyway.”

Qin Yong also said firmly, “I’ll go wherever Captain Lu goes.
We’re all from the 4th squadron, so of course, we should advance and retreat together with Captain.”

The others also chimed in, saying, “We’ll advance and retreat with Captain Lu!”

When Lu Yu saw their reaction, Lu Yu was quite surprised.
He didn’t expect Qin Yong and the others to be so adamant in tagging along with him, regardless of the fact that he was exacting personal revenge on the City Lord and the four dojos.

However, after thinking over the whole matter carefully, Lu Yu realized that this group of people were his fervent admirers after his heroic performance during the battle when the city was besieged by Fearsome Beasts.

In the first place, Qin Yong and the others had joined the Central Dojo and the 4th squadron because of Lu Yu’s presence.

This was especially true for this operation in the blood-sucking wasteland.
Everyone had taken risks together and had developed the strong bonds of lifelong friendship.

Unknowingly, Qin Yong and the others had become Lu Yu’s staunch followers.

They themselves were all quite strong, possessing the strength of junior Martial Masters thereabout.

After consuming the mammoth meat that Lu Yu had cooked, these guys’ strength had also increased significantly.
They had now reached the intermediate or advanced stages of the Martial Master realm, which was considered quite good.

Seeing that they were so determined, Lu Yu didn’t try to dissuade them anymore and agreed to let them tag along.

In any case, they were also from the Central Dojo or the 4th squadron.
Everyone knew that they were under Lu Yu’s command.

If Lu Yu failed in his mission to exact revenge on the City Lord and the four dojos this time, they would still be implicated even if they didn’t participate.

The best way was undoubtedly to ensure that this revenge operation was foolproof and could not fail.

Lu Yu looked at the heavy Dragon Blood Battle Blade bursting with power in his hand and couldn’t help but feel confident.

“Alright, then follow me to take revenge on all of them.
Let’s go!” Lu Yu said with a look of pride.

By now, the sky had just turned bright as the first ray of dawn shone on the ground.

Without further delay, Lu Yu and the rest set off.

Meanwhile, in the City Lord’s Office.

City Lord Yan Hong was pacing back and forth in the hall with a deeply worried expression.

When the City Lord’s advisor, Qin Cheng, saw this, he couldn’t help but say, “City Lord, you haven’t slept for one whole night.
You should quickly take a rest.”

Yan Hong, who had spent one whole sleepless night worrying himself sick, seemed to have more white hair now, and his face appeared even more haggard.

However, at this moment, Yan Hong didn’t dare to relax at all.
He said with a very troubled expression, “Up until now, there hasn’t been any news from the eight experts of the four dojos.
There’s no reaction from the communicator at all.
Something must have happened.
Otherwise, it’s impossible for them not to contact me for so long.”

When Qin Cheng heard his words, he said in disbelief, “Surely that’s impossible? These are the eight top-notch experts from the four dojos.
They are all Great Martial Masters and above.
In the blood-sucking wasteland, these eight people can do whatever they want.
Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be any accidents.”

Yan Hong thought for a moment, but still couldn’t help asking, “In that case, if they did not come to any harm due to encountering some Fearsome Beasts, could it be due to Lu Yu?”

“Lu Yu? How is that possible?” Qin Cheng said, his face still full of disbelief.
“That Lu Yu is just a newly promoted Great Martial Master.
How can he be a match for those eight powerful experts? That’s absolutely impossible.”

“Then how do you explain that there has been no news from all eight of them until now?” Yan Hong couldn’t contain his anger any longer and retorted back.

“Well…”

Qin Cheng was at a loss for words when he heard the City Lord’s rebuke

The eight powerful experts from the four dojo had set off on their journey for so long now.
The night before, they had even sent news that they had arrived near the core of the blood-sucking wasteland.
Logically speaking, they should have completed dealing with Lu Yu yesterday.

Yet until now, they had not received any news from them.
Even if they had encountered some situation, they should still have sent some news back and not gone totally incommunicado.

The only explanation was that these eight powerful experts of the four dojos were already dead, so there was no way to send any news back.

However, when he thought of this, Qin Cheng felt that this scenario was impossible.

After all, these were the eight experts of the four dojos, and they were all Great Martial Masters at least.

With the combined strength of these eight people, they were perfectly capable of dealing with a Grand Master.
How could an accident happen when they were only dealing with one measly Lu Yu?

Qin Cheng was getting more and more confused, but he also gradually realized that something was definitely not right.
