Chapter 916 The Path Of The Emperor

With one slash, Lu Yu killed Tulu.

Tulu was cut into two halves, and blood was everywhere.

Seeing such a b.l.o.o.d.y and terrifying scene, the group of men immediately panicked. Everyone quickly tried to escape!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Void Evil Blade became a series of afterimages and began to shuttle back and forth in the crowd.

After a while, these people were devoid of their arms and legs.

For a moment, seven or eight people were all lying on the ground, wailing.

“Arghh! Argh! My leg, my leg!”

“How did I lose my arm?”

“I don’t want to die; I don’t want to die!”

Quaker was also unable to escape his doom. Lying on the ground, he cried out in grief after losing his two legs.

The wails lasted for a moment. Soon, these people gradually bled to death or fell unconscious from the bleeding.

The surrounding citizens looked at the tragic scene. No one felt fear or sorrow, and everyone was calm.

They all looked at Lu Yu from afar, looking at him warily.

At this moment, Helen and the Empress arrive at Lu Yu’s room. They looked down and were shocked to see the corpses and chopped limbs on the ground.

“Lu Yu, what happened?” Helen was terrified and shocked by the b.l.o.o.d.y scene.

“These people wanted to kill me, but I guess they failed.”

“You killed them all? How, when you are still up here?”

Lu Yu shrugged. “Do I need to go down personally to take out the trash? They all died in a few slashes.”

Even if Lu Yu did not use the Void Evil Blade, he could still tear them apart from afar with his dragon claws.

For example, the Thunder Dragon Claw, Explosive Dragon Claw, Flame Dragon Claw, and so on could easily achieve the same result.

But, of course, he wanted to test his control over the Void Evil Blade.

At this moment, Lu Yu looked at the crowd in the distance.

“Everyone, I hope you don’t mind me killing these people.”

The city’s citizens dared not speak and only shook their heads.

“These people are all rich and powerful in the city. They should have been oppressing you all. I’ll have to trouble you to deal with the cleanup.”

One of them stood up and looked at Lu Yu on behalf of everyone.

“When these people had just been revived, they plundered all the food we had so that they could continue to live a rich life. We all paid the price for it!”

“Now that they are dead, we will only feel happy in our hearts. Thank you for killing them!”

“Therefore, I would like to ask you if you can stay and be our new City Lord.”

With such a strong cultivator as their City Lord, it would be much safer and more comfortable than before.

Lu Yu refused without hesitation.

“No, I’m an adventurer. My quest is to continue my journey, so I won’t stay in one place.”

“You can handle your matters. So, decide who will fill the position of City Lord on your own.”

After saying that, Lu Yu closed the window.

At this time, Helen came to Lu Yu’s side and asked, “Why didn’t you agree?”

“Why would I agree? I’m not cut out to be the City Lord.”

“Have you ever thought about what will happen to the people if you destroy the main army of the Ember Empire?”

Lu Yu shrugged. “What does it have to do with me?”

“Of course there is. If you kill all the people in the upper echelons, these people will split into many different groups. At that time, they will kill each other.”

“But if you take over the cities, you can naturally inherit the throne and become the new Emperor once your quest is over. At that time, the Ember Empire will not be divided, and there will be no civil war because they have a new Emperor!”

Helen continued, “It’s the same in this small city. Once the City Lord dies, the remaining people will kill each other to fight for the position of the City Lord.”

“By then, many innocent people will die.”

After hearing her words, Lu Yu knew they made sense. He did not expect this young girl to be this knowledgeable. He guessed this was the benefit of being born into a prestigious family…

“You mean I should become the City Lord so that they won’t kill each other, and it would also pave the way for me to inherit the throne in the future?”

“That’s right. If our goal is to kill the Great Emperor, we must consider how to deal with the aftermath.”

Lu Yu nodded slightly. “You’re really thoughtful. You’ve already considered the situation after I defeated the Emperor of the Ember Empire.”

“Yes. I don’t want to see the Ember Empire split into several countries and fight to the death with each other. If you can successfully ascend the throne, it will be a great thing for us.”

Lu Yu leaned against the wall and pondered for a moment. He understood Helen’s worries.

“So every time I go to a city, wouldn’t I have to kill the City Lord?”

“You can do that, but some City Lords are good. If you kill them, it will backfire.”

Lu Yu nodded in agreement. “In that case, I’ll heed your advice.”

The Empress smiled and looked at Lu Yu. “I have high hopes for you. You might really be able to walk to the position of an Emperor.”

Lu Yu sighed helplessly. “I don’t have the heart to be an Emperor.”

He turned around and opened the window again.

Someone had already started to clean up the corpses.

“Everyone, I will be the City Lord of Mountain City! Who has any objections?”

Lu Yu’s domineering words stunned everyone, stopping what they were doing.

“City Lord? Do you want to be the City Lord?”

“Alright, we were worried about who would be the new City Lord. We have no objections if you were to be the new City Lord!”

“That’s great! As long as it’s not Tulu, we can accept anyone!”

They all looked at Lu Yu with excitement. To them, anyone who didn’t have Tulu’s tyrannical behavior was acceptable.

Moreover, Lu Yu was so powerful that their safety would be guaranteed.

“I’m an outsider. Would any of you have an aversion if I became your City Lord?”

“No, absolutely not. We have no objections as long as we can live a good life!”

“If an outsider is much stronger than Tulu, we all support you to become the City Lord!”

Lu Yu’s strength was unquestionable. If someone else were to become the City Lord, there would definitely be people who would be unconvinced and fight him one-on-one. Ultimately, both sides would suffer heavy losses or trigger an even bigger battle.

If Lu Yu became the City Lord, there would be no doubts about his qualifications. No one felt they were stronger than Lu Yu, so it was a matter of course for Lu Yu to become the City Lord.

“Alright, from tomorrow onwards, I will be the City Lord of Mountain City!”

“If you become the City Lord, how are you going to head to the next city?” The Empress asked worriedly.

“Simple. I’ll appoint someone to take over my position temporarily. I’ll be back in a few months at most. Is there a problem?”

The Empress nodded slightly, as it was a feasible solution.
