My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 342 - 339 Awakening

Looking at the document,

Lu Wu felt as if his entire worldview had been shattered.

He could never have imagined that the world before him had changed solely because someone had made three wishes at a gate.

Below the legend of the gate, Zhang Yunyi had written another paragraph.

"This is one of several versions of the legend about the gate.

Its authenticity is unknown, but one thing is certain, the gate indeed possesses the power to change the world.

Even the fragments of the gate that shattered, the outer door fragments, have the ability to fulfill wishes and grant those who obtain them Fragment Rule-level abilities.

However, as they are outer door fragments, fulfilling a wish requires a corresponding price.

The harder the wish is to achieve, the greater and more bizarre the price."

When Lu Wu read this passage, he instinctively thought of Li Ruyu.

He recalled what Lu Haikong had told him about chasing after 99 girls.

"Could this old man be telling the truth? Did he really use an outer door fragment to make a wish, saving my mom as a price for chasing after 99 girls?"

Lu Wu’s face was filled with disbelief.

If this was true, the image of the old man at home as a scumbag seemed hardly sustainable.

"No, no, even if it’s true, it doesn’t change the fact that this old man is a scumbag."

Lu Wu shook his head in denial.

At the same time, he set down his phone and began to think.

He linked all the information he had just received.

"If the gate’s function is real, then whether it’s Zero or someone from the Elder Council trying to mess with me would make sense.

However, this is obviously just one of the reasons.

The main reason is still Old Lu’s fault.

I’m sure, during the time that old man was active, he must have wiped out quite a few families completely. These Dragon Arrogant Sky types all behave this way—giving them a glance might make them annihilate your whole family without understanding the benefit of leaving a line for future goodwill.

That’s why such a good young man like me is implicated.

Plus, the reason they clung to me so tightly was because Old Lin had secrets of the gate."

Lu Wu was almost able to deduce the truth.

But it was still a vague truth.

At this moment, Lu Wu still had many questions.

Whose body does Li Ruyu have?

Why are Moon Shadow’s abilities subjected to various restrictions?

And so on...

But he had no time to ponder these anymore.

He was about to leave as well.

The event of his death should start to ferment soon, and the Alliance would soon come to investigate. He couldn’t stay in this place too long; he must leave soon.

Aware of this, Lu Wu glanced at the map briefly, then brought Han into his body.

Then, temporarily severing his connection with Little Skeleton and Little Flood Dragon, he took a deep look at Fucheng. Finally, transforming into a gold Jiao Long, he identified the direction and sped toward the area far from District 1.

Lu Wu was very clear that once he left, it would probably take three to five years before he could return!

...

Lu Wu embarked on a far-reaching voyage at sea.

Meanwhile, District 1 was in chaos.

The news of Lu Wu’s death spread throughout the entire District 1 on the same day.

Everyone’s first reaction upon hearing the news was disbelief.

How could such a brilliant talent as Lu Wu just perish suddenly like that?

It must be fake.

However, shortly after, the Jiangnan Governor’s Mansion issued an official statement, confirming the news of Lu Wu’s death and disclosing the details.

It was announced that Lu Wu was killed by Zhou An, the Deputy Director of the Demon Suppression Bureau, while they were suppressing one of the Five Ambassadors of the organization "Zero."

And furthermore, they disclosed the 32 corpses from "Zero" organization, as well as the seven King-level powerhouses who were killed in a fit of rage by Moon Shadow, along with the bodies of many members from the Demon Suppression Bureau.

This announcement sent shockwaves through the Alliance.

The ordinary people were filled with regret.

They regretted the loss of an exceptional genius like Lu Wu, who had ultimately passed away so quietly.

They were also especially dissatisfied with the Alliance’s upper echelons.

The matter of the "Zero" organization had been reported to the Alliance’s higher-ups by Lu Wu more than once.

But not only did the Alliance’s leaders not take it seriously, the people they sent also caused various troubles for Lu Wu.

Even at a crucial moment, the Deputy Director of the Demon Suppression Bureau turned against him and killed Lu Wu.

These critical details were disclosed, causing the public to become particularly unhappy with the Alliance.

However, the reaction from the upper management of the Alliance was exceptionally swift.

On the day of Lu Wu’s death, the entire Elder Council publicly stepped forward to handle the matter.

The Elder Council took three actions.

First, they acknowledged that Lu Wu was dead, and he had died at the hands of Zhou An.

Second, they announced a serious investigation of the Demon Suppression Bureau—the entire upper echelon of the Bureau would be scrutinized, including the Director of the Bureau.

A special team was formed to investigate the matter, vowing that anyone who had caused Lu Wu’s death would not be spared and that justice for Lu Wu would be attained. fгeewebnovёl.com

Third, they established a "Demon Extermination Bureau," with the Elder Council’s Chairman, Li Tianyi personally leading the charge to eradicate any Evil Summoners and criminal summoners still active in District 1, ensuring such incidents would not occur again.

The response from the Alliance was unexpected by the public.

However, this approach did quell some of the public anger.

What the public did not realize, however, was that the series of actions taken by the Alliance was not merely to pacify their anger.

In a world of summoners, the efforts of the global populace pale in comparison to the wrath of a powerful individual.

Ordinary people might express their anger by venting or raging impotently.

But when certain individuals get angry, the consequences can be deadly.

As the news spread, more and more people learned of Lu Wu’s death, including some special individuals.

Yuan Qingqing of the Jingcheng Cultivation Center.

Liu Qingyuan from Jingcheng University, Yan Ruxue who had once kidnapped Lu Wuyi, etc.

Upon hearing the news, these individuals expressed their dissatisfaction in their ways.

On that day, countless sub-divisions of the Demon Suppression Bureau within District 1 were vandalized, and numerous organizations of Evil Summoners were slaughtered.

Additionally, the forces behind the exposed corpses faced retaliation.

Most directly affected was Liu Cheng.

As a disciple of Lu Haikong, upon learning of Lu Wu’s death, he, along with his Summoned Beast, forcibly stormed into the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Bureau.

With his own power, he overturned the entire headquarters, even injuring the Director of the Bureau.

Other forces also stepped forward to cause disturbances.

Among these forces and individuals, some were genuinely angry, some were stirring up trouble, and others were trying to clear themselves of any suspicion, signaling that they had nothing to do with the incident.

Regardless of the reason,

the entire Alliance was thrown into chaos due to Lu Wu’s death.

And this was only just the beginning.

After all, those who were currently in turmoil were relatively easy to handle; the real storm would come from those consumed by boundless rage, like the one who had made half of District 1 experience a snowstorm.

The one who was still unaware of Lu Wu’s death.

Once Lu Haikong learned of Lu Wu’s death, once that individual returned, that’s when the real storm would break.

Then, who knew how many would die because of it!

This is the world of this era.

Where the strong rules, and the joys and sorrows of a terrifying powerful individual can even influence the workings of an Alliance.

This also explains why so many pursue the Gate.

With power, one can stand at the pinnacle of the world, but in mastering the Gate, one becomes a true god of this world!

However, no one knew what kind of existence Lu Wu’s death would unleash.

Before Lu Haikong’s return, an existence which in some aspect was even more terrifying than Lu Haikong was awakening in Jiangnan…
