The entire building exploded with a deafening roar!

Li Yu and Lu Fan's figures soared into the sky and landed safely outside the building.

Li Yu held the muscular little black dog under one arm, while the unconscious deep-sea behemoth was being dragged behind her by a golden energy net.

He was holding two enormous creatures on each side, yet he seemed to be doing it with no effort at all.

Seeing this, Li Yang laughed even louder and praised him heartily:

"Excellent! Star Lord's strength is indeed well-deserved!"

Ye Lingxiao turned around and was so angry that he trembled all over. The elders of the Changsheng Sect also looked grim.

They paid a heavy price to capture Lu Fan, and now that Lu Fan is free, all their previous efforts have been in vain.

Only Judge Lan and his team from the Thunder Bureau, who were hiding in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to rescue Lu Fan, were overjoyed to see this.

"It's Li Yu!"

"You're not mistaken, that's Li Yuxingjun!"

Lu Fan was actually rescued, and it was Li Yu who rescued him!

Upon seeing Li Yu's appearance, everyone in the Thunder Bureau instantly felt relieved.

You should know that they witnessed Li Yu's strength firsthand in Yangcheng; he could intimidate the entire audience with just one person and one bow!

With Li Yu here, who can stop us now!

Li Yu steadied himself and looked back; the buildings behind him had been completely reduced to ruins.

Not far away, Fan Meng, the boy who had been trying to keep the building stable, also fell down due to the backlash of energy.

Fan Meng had just recovered from his dizziness when he saw Li Yu already standing in front of him.

When he saw the terrifying sea monster being dragged behind Li Yu like a dead dog, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

“Fan Meng…” Li Yu said the name somewhat awkwardly.

He simply couldn't reconcile that feminine name with the boy before him.

Fan Meng hurriedly stood up, straightened her body, and felt a chill in her palms.

Li Yu gave him the feeling of a lurking ferocious beast. Even though he didn't exude any aura, he could still sense a terrifying sense of crisis.

Lu Fan, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward out of curiosity, looked Fan Meng over, and casually asked:

"Li Yu, is his ability really that rare?"

“Yes. I think he, like this sea monster, is very important to the future of Kangcheng,” Li Yu said earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Fan Meng felt a pang of anxiety, fearing that if she gave a bad answer, she would suffer the same tragic fate as that sea monster.

Li Yu stepped forward, and Fan Meng was so frightened that she took a step back and almost turned to run away.

Seeing Li Yu's gaze, he suppressed the urge to run away and used all his strength to control his body.

"Fan Meng, it's a waste for you to stay here with your abilities. Pack your things and come with me," Li Yu said casually, but her tone left no room for argument.

Fan Meng wanted to refuse, but she couldn't help but glance at the fate of the sea beast and held back her words.

He looked pitifully into the distance, hoping the city lord would come to his rescue.

Seeing that Fan Meng didn't speak, Li Yu took it as a tacit agreement, then turned around and dragged the sea beast, walking with Lu Fan towards the most crowded area under the Yang Stone, leaving only one voice behind:

"Xiao Hei, stay here and protect him."

He planned to come back to pick up the boy later.

Xiao Hei hopped to a stop beside Fan Meng, his eyes fixed on her every move.

Seeing such a 'robust' dark horse, Fan Meng didn't dare to make any rash moves for a moment.

The elder leading the Changsheng Sect clearly recognized Li Yu and was fully aware of Li Yu's recent actions, but instead of being afraid, he stopped what he was doing, laughed loudly, and took the initiative to greet him:

"I never expected that three city lords from Zhongzhou would gather in this small Ningcheng. It's truly a rare sight."

In the hearts of these people from the Longevity Sect, it seems that the Star Lord is nothing special; rather, the identity of the Lord of Zhongzhou City and the background behind him are more worthy of attention.

Li Yu was somewhat surprised to be addressed as the city lord, after all, he had only occupied Kangcheng for a short time.

Li Yu's gaze swept over the group of elders suppressing Li Yang, and he casually asked:

Who are you?

The old man continued walking towards Li Yu, but the people behind him still kept Li Yang under control.

Approaching Li Yu, ignoring Ye Lingxiao's murderous glare, he politely cupped his hands and said:

"Lord Li Yu, I am Xu Qun, an elder of the Changsheng Sect."

"Having met you today, City Lord Li Yu truly lives up to his reputation."

After a brief pause, he changed the subject.

"Since this is such a fortuitous encounter, how about we discuss cooperation with the Changsheng Sect?"

"The Longevity Sect?" Li Yu then took another serious look at the elders present.

He had never seen anyone so bold as to directly introduce themselves.

You should know that when the monk Jingshi wiped out the Changsheng Sect last time, he was right there beside him. Now, the people from the Changsheng Sect actually dared to propose cooperation to him face to face.

The old man, Xu Qun, seemed to see the disdain in Li Yu's eyes, realizing that he had no intention of cooperating with the Longevity Sect. However, he was not discouraged and simply continued speaking to himself:

“Lord Li Yu is still young, so it’s normal that he doesn’t have this idea yet. But everyone has to die eventually, and everyone will eventually reach that point.”

Xu Qun smiled slightly, his expression meaningful:

"Perhaps in the future, you will become one of us."

Before Li Yu could react, Lu Fan stepped forward and angrily retorted:

"What a load of bull! What else can you do besides harming people? Li Yu, don't listen to his nonsense."

Upon hearing that the Changsheng Sect had been so insulted, many elders immediately turned their gazes toward Lu Fan.

Xu Qun also gave Lu Fan a cold, unfriendly look before explaining to Li Yu:

"Our Changsheng Sect will not interfere in power struggles, nor do we want to oppose the Star Lord. Our purpose in coming to Ningcheng this time is simply to explore other possibilities of longevity."
