Chapter 457: Oh No, It's People from the Martial Arts Association
Song Tian was very surprised, as were Kang Yuan, Chang Lei, and the others.
They looked at that figure, feeling it looked familiar, yet they truly dared not be certain in their hearts.
After all, who is to say there isn't someone else in the world who likes wearing a mask just like Lu Yu?
Besides, that person was not holding a bow and arrow in their hand at this moment.
But the giant beast being dragged behind them was clearly a Commander-level Fierce Beast!
One must know that experts capable of killing a Commander-level Fierce Beast alone are few and far between, even at headquarters.
Under the gaze of everyone with their various expressions, Lu Yu stopped outside the two Zhai.
Looking out, the two Zhai, which were originally bustling and overcrowded, were now more than half empty.
The remaining people were carrying large and small bags, and many were so frightened they collapsed to the ground, their faces as pale as paper.
The city walls were packed with figures, among whom were many of Lu Yu's acquaintances; the looks they cast at Lu Yu were, to a greater or lesser extent, filled with wariness.
"It seems the commotion I caused this time is a bit big."
He looked back at the corpse of the Raging Wild Bull King; such a massive Fierce Beast would likely not fit through the gates of Yongan City.
Fortunately, the Martial Arts Association had a plot of land in the Zhai; it would be fine to just leave this Raging Wild Bull King there to be processed slowly, so there would be no need to worry about exposing his identity, and everything would seem logical.
Immediately after, under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, he calmly took out his mobile phone.
"???"
Everyone was stunned.
Making a call? Who was he calling? Someone in Yongan City? Or someone else entirely?
Just at this moment, the sound of a mobile phone vibrating rang out abruptly.
The gazes of many Awakened fell upon the location where Song Tian and the others were.
Song Tian and the others immediately felt pressure descend upon them like a mountain, and their hearts were full of confusion; why was everyone staring at their group? Could it be that there was something on their faces?
"Pr-President?" Jiang Yao seemed to have sensed something and said stutteringly, "Is, is it your phone that is ringing?"
"?" Song Tian looked blank.
"President, it seems, it really seems to be your phone ringing," Kang Yuan said, pointing at Song Tian's trouser pocket.
He seemed to understand a little why the people around them were all looking at them.
"Is, is it my phone ringing?" Song Tian felt the pressure.
He glanced in the direction of Hai Qiong and the others, silently took out his phone, and secretly complained in his heart that this call had come at the wrong time.
He had wanted to hang up directly, but upon seeing that the caller ID was Lu Yu, he answered the phone and said in a low voice, "Hello, Brother Lu, what is it?"
"President," Lu Yu looked at the cautious Song Tian on the city wall and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You are on the city wall right now, right? Kang Yuan and the others are all there too, right?"
"Yes, how did you know?" Song Tian was stunned, "Are you nearby too?" As he spoke, he looked left and right, his face full of confusion, "But I'm on the city wall, how come I don't see you?"
"I'm outside the city."
"Outside the city?" Song Tian looked up subconsciously, his gaze meeting Lu Yu, who was holding the mobile phone.
"Boom," he felt as if his entire head had been struck hard by a large bell, buzzing.
Kang Yuan and the others nearby also seemed to react to what had happened.
They looked at the astonished Song Tian, then looked at the figure looking toward them, and a thought flashed through their minds in unison: Could that person really be Brother Lu?
At the same time, Hai Qiong and the others gradually sensed something unusual.
Could that person outside the city be a member of the Martial Arts Association?
A Martial Artist capable of killing a Commander-level Fierce Beast alone is a rare gem, even in the Nanshan Branch Martial Arts Association.
How could such an expert appear here?
Could it be that the Martial Arts Association had spotted the timing of Yan Luo and the others' recent deaths and intended to send someone to occupy Yongan City?
"Gulp."
Song Tian swallowed hard and asked stutteringly, "Lu, Brother Lu, I, I didn't see wrong, did I? The person outside dragging the Commander-level Fierce Beast corpse, is it really you?"
"!!!"
Kang Yuan and the others were instantly so nervous that their hearts jumped into their throats.
"Haha, of course it's me," Lu Yu said with a smile, "President, you didn't recognize me, did you?" As he spoke, he even waved his hand.
"Brother Lu, it really is you!"
"Yes, President, this Commander-level Fierce Beast is just too large in size; I'd like to leave it at the acquisition point first, is that alright with you?"
"Yes, yes, of course it is, Brother Lu, wait a moment, I'll be right over!"
After hanging up the phone, facing the questioning gazes of Kang Yuan and the others, Song Tian nodded repeatedly and said with a face full of joy, "That's right, it's Brother Lu, it really is Brother Lu; let's go over now, let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew down directly, his feet stepping on the city wall several times in succession, and before long he landed steadily and sprinted toward the direction where Lu Yu was.
Kang Yuan and the others looked at each other; there was no time to say anything more, so they hurriedly followed.
"Brother Lu!"
Song Tian walked quickly to Lu Yu, looked at Lu Yu, and then looked at the massive body of the Commander-level Fierce Beast behind him, his face full of shock.
"Brother Lu."
"Brother Lu."
Kang Yuan, Chang Lei, and the others also arrived one after another.
Looking at this Commander-level Fierce Beast, they couldn't help but gasp.
Just looking at this giant beast from afar gave one a strong sense of oppression, and standing close by, this aura made them afraid to even breathe loudly.
It was hard to imagine how Brother Lu had managed to kill such a behemoth.
If it were them, they would likely be turned into a puddle of blood mist on the spot if they were hit by a single slap from this giant beast.
Lu Yu nodded at them and said with a smile, "Let's talk once we get inside the Zhai."
"Good, good." Song Tian and the others nodded hurriedly. Indeed, with so many eyes here, it was more appropriate to go into the Zhai to talk.
On the city wall, Hai Qiong and the others, having witnessed this scene, saw their expressions turn extremely ugly.
They never imagined that the masked powerhouse was actually from the Martial Arts Association!
"The situation seems not very good," Meng Rang said with a bitter smile.
"Indeed, he is actually a Martial Artist, and a Martial Artist capable of killing a Commander-level Fierce Beast at that. In the Nanshan Branch Martial Arts Association, there can't be many with this kind of strength, right?"
"Would such a formidable figure take a fancy to Yongan City?"
For a moment, the atmosphere became quiet. Intuition told them that a powerhouse of this level generally would not look twice at a small city.
But one should always prepare for the worst; what if the other party really had this idea?
One must know that the relationship between the Awakened Association and the Martial Arts Association had not been very harmonious over the years, and this was even more so in Yongan City.
In the past, when Yan Luo and the others were around, they suppressed the Martial Arts Branch within the city quite severely.
Now that Yan Luo and the others had just met with an accident, such a powerhouse from the Martial Arts Branch arrived; the timing of this appearance really made one have to be suspicious.
Hai Qiong's brows were tightly locked. Logically speaking, for Yongan City to have a powerhouse capable of killing a Commander-level Fierce Beast was absolutely a great thing; if a Beast Tide were to Explode in the future, having this powerhouse here would be like having a stabilizing force.
But the terrible thing was that this person was from the Martial Arts Association!
If the other party were to gain a firm foothold in Yongan City, could they and the others have any good days ahead?
If the people from the Awakened Association wanted to stay, they would likely have to take orders from this person in the future.
