Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating-Chapter 112

112 Lord Ying

Thankfully Lu Yu lured Guan Shan out and annihilated him and the elites of the East End Dojo in one fell swoop, instead of staging a battle front at East End Dojo and attacking them there directly.

With the foundation of the dojo and the treasure vault, as well as the trump card of the Skyfire Red Lion, Guan Shan could have given Lu Yu a hard time.

“Immediately send people to take over the jurisdiction area of the East End Dojo and transfer the cultivators from the military camp to maintain the law and order.”

“Let everything run as usual. Don’t interfere with their normal lives. Don’t bully anyone. Those who disobey will be executed!”

When Lu Yu gave the order, every resident in the East City District was moved to tears.

In the past, the East End Dojo had done many things to oppress them. They had thought that after Lu Yu took over the jurisdiction areas of the East End Dojo, he would be no different from the people from East End Dojo. They thought he might even be more ruthless, yet his style was surprisingly different.

“Honorable Mr. Lu, you’re a true hero. You’re the lucky star of our Lunan City!”

The residents kowtowed and thanked him from the bottom of their hearts. It could be seen how brutal the East End Dojo’s oppression of the residents had been, that they would be so touched by such a small kind gesture from Lu Yu.

This was a true reflection of ordinary people. As long as they were given a mouthful of food, they would sincerely support their benefactor.

At this moment, Song Yu’s delicate body shook as she was greatly moved. “These cultivators with vested interests are really a group of beasts. They were able to achieve what they have today because they were supported by these ordinary people. However, they didn’t think of contributing to humankind, but instead exploited their own people.”

After the apocalypse, the ways of the world during the Spiritual Energy Renaissance made her extremely indignant. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so determined and calm.

Lu Yu saw all of this and asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time, “Vice-Captain Song, can you tell me how the military zone and the City Lord ended up opposing each other?”

During this period, he had felt very deeply what Song Xiaotian had said. This was more than just simply opposing. It was downright intense, bitter conflict.

“As you know, the City Lord and those under the jurisdiction of the military zone belong to two disparate systems. One is in charge of military affairs while the other is in charge of politics.”

Song Yu explained concisely. Moments later, Lu Yu was hit by a sudden realization.

Between the military zone and the City Lord, one was in charge of managing the military forces and they were responsible for defending against Fearsome Beasts and reclaiming the lost territories of humankind. However, the stability and law and order of the region needed to be maintained, so the City Lord was indispensable.

The purpose of their existence was to preserve the strength of humankind.

After the Holy War, humankind paid a tremendous price to recover many lost territories to rebuild their homes. After gradually restoring order, the conflicts between the Federation’s government officials and the upper echelons of the military zone became increasingly more intense.

One side believed that they should advance bravely against the wave of difficulties and recover more lost territories, while the other side believed that they should first stabilize the area’s development and increase their strength.

The clash of principles between the two sides also led to two factions among humankind. One side advocated war while the other pushed for development.

Actually, there was no right or wrong in either philosophy. What was wrong was that, the philosophy of the camp going into politics was used by many cultivators, who had joined them with impure motives and were blinded by greed, as a shield to cover up their actions.

As time passed, the roots of the political faction slowly rotted away.

Song Yu said angrily, “It’s all because of these vermin who keep spouting righteousness and morality, that turned the political faction into a camp with such an unsavory atmosphere.”

Lu Yu fell silent.

This was not something that a Great Grand Master like him could resolve now. It was difficult for him to change this muddy situation alone.

On the other side,

the news that the East End Dojo had been destroyed and the Central Dojo had already taken over the two city leadership positions out of the four big city districts spread throughout Lunan City, causing a huge earth-shaking turmoil.

“This Lu Yu really had the guts to do this. In this way, won’t he occupy half of Lunan City?”

“I reckon that the stable camp aligned with the City Lord’s Office is already in chaos.”

“Hahaha... Who cares? All I know is that they have been exploiting us for many years. They deserve to be overthrown.”

“I heard that under the governance of the Central Dojo, the East City District and North City District are not exploited or oppressed. That place is filled with prosperity. If there’s a chance, I must go and take a look.”

While everyone was discussing this matter, many merchants who had been bullied and exploited by the West Universe Dojo and the Southern Star Dojo had already relocated to the North City District and the East City District. They had decided to stay there for the rest of their lives. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

As Lu Yu’s old comrade-in-arms, Zhang Hong was stunned for a long time when he saw this scene. He then sighed listlessly.

He never imagined that his old comrade-in-arms would one day occupy half of Lunan City in such an impressive fashion.

As for him, he had a head full of white hair and his health vitality was in decline, just like an extremely aged man. On the other hand, Lu Yu’s health vitality was at its peak, and he looked as young as a young man in his early twenties, full of vigor.

“Grandpa, why don’t we go and beg Grandpa Lu?”

Zhang Wu pursed his lips, his face full of worry.

His grandfather’s health vitality had declined to the limit. During this period, he also fell seriously ill and it seemed that he didn’t have many years left to live.

After relying on each other for so many years, Zhang Wu couldn’t help but weep when he saw Zhang Hong like this.

Zhang Hong glared at him and said, “What are you crying for? I’m not dying!”

In the West Universe Dojo and the Southern Star Dojo,

Jiang Yunhu and Xian Xingmeng’s faces had been extremely glum for the past few days. They resembled wild beasts that wanted to devour people. No one dared to approach them.

“I didn’t expect that the trump card of the East End Dojo was actually an S-class Fearsome Beast. I heard rumors ten years ago that they were raising a Fearsome Beast cub. I didn’t expect it to be true.”

Jiang Yunhu and Xian Xingmeng were very shocked.

However, what was even more unexpected was that such a powerful S-class Fearsome Beast had been easily slain by Lu Yu. He made it look so easy that it didn’t seem like something a cultivator who had just broken through to the Grand Master realm could achieve.

In the City Lord’s Office, Yan Hong was even more shocked when he heard this news.

“Impossible, absolutely impossible. That S-class Fearsome Beast swallowed the Berserk Blood Pill and triggered an even more terrifying bestiality in the depths of its bloodline. It’s definitely not on the same level as an ordinary S-class Fearsome Beast. Yet it was actually killed just like that.”

No one knew that Guan Shan’s lair had been destroyed by the death warriors the City Lord had sent out.

Moreover, they fed the Skyfire Red Lion a Berserk Blood Pill, causing it to fall into a completely berserk state.

“City Lord, he’s here!”

At this moment, a death warrior of the Great Martial Master level came in to report. His face was filled with deep reverence and contained a trace of trembling.

In the next moment, the entire City Lord’s Office was enveloped by an unstoppable aura.

No matter who it was, they could feel their souls trembling. They could not muster any thoughts of resistance. It was as if they had accepted their fate entirely and were being led to the slaughter. The guest was like a god descending from high above.

Qin Cheng was shocked. This aura was even stronger than those from the Grand Masters he had seen. No, it was even more terrifying than those from the Great Grand Masters.

Was this the backer of the City Lord, a big shot from the capital?

Yan Hong said respectfully, “Welcome, Senior. How should I address you?”

A middle-aged man of medium build with a high nose bridge and clad in a black robe appeared. He walked unhurriedly to the main seat and sat down. “Just call me Old Ying.”

Yan Hong immediately lowered his head and said, “I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare. I’ll address you as Lord Ying.”

The guards and servants of the City Lord’s Office, who did not know what was going on, were all stunned. They thought that they had seen wrongly. They never imagined that their City Lord, the ruler of Lunan City, would see such a humble day.

“Haha! You do have some self-awareness. Yan Hong, do you know that what you did was very terrible? It’s so terrible that I had no choice but to clean up after you!”

Lord Ying said with a smile. His voice was so icy cold that Yan Hong and Qin Cheng shuddered and knelt on the ground, not daring to get up.
