Despite such a fierce group attack, Lu Fan was still alive.
Many people marveled at Lu Fan's incredible resilience, finding it truly astonishing.
Meanwhile, Judge Lan and his group stood frozen in place after hearing Li Yu's unequivocal announcement.
"What did Li Yu just say?" Judge Lan doubted his ears.
Judge Duan quickly replied, "He said the dragon vein belongs to Lu Fan."
"Lu Fan... actually knows Li Yu?!" Judge Lan was astonished, finding it hard to believe that two seemingly unrelated people could have such a connection.
Not to mention Judge Lan, even Lu Fan himself was stunned after hearing this.
He didn't expect Li Yu to step forward at this time, and even more unexpectedly, Li Yu directly pointed out that the dragon vein belonged to him!
Why would Li Yu help me?
Although he was somewhat moved, a sliver of rationality still left Lu Fan completely baffled.
Lu Fan knew that although he and Li Yu knew each other, they were far from being able to help each other so wholeheartedly.
Upon closer reflection, Lu Fan realized that the relationship between the two was actually quite limited.
Back in Qingcheng, my relationship with Li Yu was more like a pure transaction; our interactions were limited to the exchange of benefits, each getting what they needed.
Let alone offering help at the most crucial moment, even defining such a relationship as friendship seems a bit far-fetched.
Although his sixth sense told him the direction when he was escaping, and he also sensed Li Yu's presence and had such thoughts, he didn't actually hold out much hope.
Moreover, Li Yu's strength now seems to be completely different from before, to an astonishing level, far beyond the vagrant leader he knew before.
On the contrary, he himself encountered repeated obstacles after entering Zhongzhou, and did not even have a fixed place.
In addition, Li Yu's reputation had already spread far and wide, and even he, who was always on the move, had heard of the title of hero Li Yu.
Given Li Yu's current status and prestige, there is absolutely no need for him to risk offending the military and a general for the sake of someone he barely knows.
After all, doing so could cause Li Yu considerable trouble.
Lu Fan's mind raced, considering many possibilities.
However, no matter what Lu Fan thought, the facts were undeniable.
Li Yu not only stood up to stop Zhou Xuan without hesitation, but also specifically named him as the one to inherit the dragon vein.
Lu Fan even felt a sense of estrangement and fear, which was simply unbelievable for someone whose entire family wanted to kill him.
"ridiculous!"
Zhou Xuan suddenly roared and glanced at Lu Fan with disdain:
"How dare a beggar lay his hands on a dragon vein?!"
Faced with the dragon vein that he had repeatedly come within reach of yet could never reach, Zhou Xuan completely lost his mind and hysterically roared at Li Yu:
"The dragon vein has clearly chosen me! This is what the general himself said—"
Suddenly, Zhou Xuan felt a strong aura of death envelop him.
He subconsciously looked up and saw that the arrows floating beside Li Yu were already aimed at him.
"Now," Li Yu turned to Zhou Xuan coldly, "Do you have any further objections?"
Zhou Xuan felt a shiver run through him from Li Yu's icy gaze, but he quickly regained his composure, his face flushed, and roared like a madman:
"Li Yu, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have some skills!"
He knew in his heart that if he failed in the struggle for the dragon vein, he would probably die at Zhou Zhenbei's hands. Either way, he would die, so his fear of death lessened, and he became even more reckless.
"How dare you decide the ownership of this dragon vein so casually? The general has already made his decision. Your actions are a blatant provocation against the authority of the military!"
Li Yu sneered, her voice leaving no room for doubt: "I'll say it one last time, this dragon vein today belongs to Lu Fan."
Zhou Xuan was trembling with anger, his facial muscles almost contorted into a grimace, and his fingers trembling uncontrollably.
"The general's orders... You really dare to disobey?!"
"An order?" Li Yu's fingertips swept across the air, and a burning arrow instantly appeared between Zhou Xuan's eyebrows.
The flames reflected in Zhou Xuan's eyes, and his roar abruptly stopped. He had never felt death so close, so close that he could almost smell the approaching Grim Reaper.
Zhou Xuan's chest heaved violently, as if it were about to explode at any moment.
He stared intently at Li Yu, his eyes bloodshot, filled with resentment and bitterness.
Seeing Zhou Xuan rendered powerless, Li Yu withdrew his arrows with a bored expression, shook his head, and looked slightly disappointed.
He originally wanted to push Zhou Xuan a little further to see if Zhou Xuan could use the Mountain and River Suppression Technique again, or summon something else to descend, but he didn't expect it to end so completely.
Seeing Li Yu walk towards the dragon vein, Zhou Xuan suddenly turned around, stretched out his hand towards the military personnel in the distance, and shouted in a final, frantic voice:
"Military command, listen to my order! Seize the traitor Li Yu!"
However, after he finished speaking, he did not see any military personnel rush forward.
The entire scene was silent, with only the crackling of the blazing flames.
"Are you deaf? Charge!"
Receiving no response, Zhou Xuan turned his head in disbelief.
The scorching flames on the ground had not yet dissipated, and the wall of fire completely isolated the generals outside.
The flames roared, radiating a chillingly high temperature, like an insurmountable chasm, leaving the many awakened members of the military with no choice but to watch helplessly.
This flame could even ignite rainwater on the ground, and the terrifying aura it emitted instilled fear in them; going forward would be no different from committing suicide.
