High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

Chapter 114 Zhangluo City! The Sins of the Three Great Families! Calamity Imminent?

whoosh-

The plaza in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

Amidst the astonished and uncertain gazes of the powerful figures and the common people.

A spaceship powered by energy transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky.

It was just a fleeting moment.

Then it disappeared into the horizon!

"Holy crap—"

"What happened? Why did Lu Yu suddenly leave?"

"I don't know! He doesn't look too good!"

"Damn it! Could the three major families have done something stupid to anger Lu Yu?"

"Lu Yu is gone, so... are we still going to eat at this banquet?"

"..."

Inside the hall.

The four supreme masters of the martial arts academies were also stunned.

Qu Yifeng of the Xuanlong Army, his usually cold face now showed even more anger.

"What a formidable group of the three great families of Jinling!"

"How dare Lu Yu, protected by the God of War, be so disrespectful!"

boom--

Qu Yifeng suddenly stood up.

An extremely powerful aura of source energy swept out in an instant!

wow——

slam-la-

Inside the main hall of the city lord's mansion, the banquet tables were shattered and lying on the floor!

then.

He charged aggressively towards the direction Lu Yu had come from.

"Keep up!"

Chi Zongyuan, the Supreme Master of Qinglong Martial Academy, also snorted coldly and his figure swept away from the spot.

This moment.

The Four Supreme Beings, Commander of the Xuanlong Army.

Five martial arts masters came to Shen Shenzhi and his two companions to demand an explanation!

Such a scene.

This left everyone in the hall frozen in place!

boom--

Boom boom—

Just a few breaths later.

The underground of the city lord's mansion.

A great battle between martial arts masters shook the entire city of Jinling!

The cause of the great war.

It was because of Lu Yu!

……

In the sky.

On the Luoshen Source Power Airship.

Lu Yu, Jiang Zhenmin, Jiang Xueying, Qin Shiyao, and another male student from Luocheng who was taking the provincial exam all gathered together.

And at this moment.

Inside the airship, the atmosphere was silent and somewhat somber.

And Lu Yu.

He simply leaned quietly against the porthole, looking down at the gradually blurring city of Nanjing.

A very long time passed.

He then suddenly spoke:

"Principal Jiang, how do the three major families usually conduct themselves?"

This statement came out.

Jiang Zhenmin, who was nervously staring at Lu Yu but unsure how to speak, was taken aback for a moment, then quickly said:

"The three major families of Jinling are powerful and have a deep foundation, but..."

"His conduct has been subject to much criticism over the years."

After listening, Lu Yu nodded and said, "Principal Jiang, could you elaborate?"

Jiang Zhenmin took a breath and carefully considered his words.

Then, he slowly said:

"The predecessors of the three major families were the three King-level experts who were the first to break through in Jinling City, namely the three Saint Ancestors."

"The three major families were established by them."

"Over the past forty years, the three families have gradually developed to their current state, which has led to their current foundation and strength."

"but……"

"Many of the King-level and even Venerable-level experts belonging to the three major families are not actually members of their families, but come from various parts of Jiang Province!"

"only……"

"Those powerful individuals were forced to seek refuge with the three great families after their cities were breached by giant beasts!"

As he spoke, Jiang Zhenmin paused slightly, his tone tinged with resentment, and continued:

"But in fact, many cities in Jiang Province could have avoided being captured!"

"A king-level behemoth emerges from the abyss; ordinary cities cannot withstand it, but with the assistance of the three great families of Jinling, the crisis can be averted!"

But alas!

"For many years, many cities have been ravaged, yet the three great families have offered little assistance!"

"Quite the opposite!"

"They often arrive late, after the city has already fallen!"

"The entire city's inhabitants perished, and the surviving or barely clinging-to-life King-level and even Venerable-level powerhouses were naturally recruited into the ranks of the three major families!"

"It is precisely through such methods that the three major families have grown increasingly powerful over the years!"

"To this day, each of them possesses over a hundred experts at the King level or above!"

Jiang Zhenmin finished speaking.

Inside the airship.

Jiang Xueying and Qin Shiyao's expressions both turned extremely ugly.

"These aren't the three major families at all; they're clearly vampires of Jiang Province, despicable scoundrels who made their fortunes off the dead!"

Jiang Xueying was furious and, unusually, swore a few times.

And Qin Shiyao.

Her delicate face was now covered with frost.

Neither of them had expected this...

It turns out that the so-called power and glory of the three major families were built on the corpses of countless cities!

And Lu Yu.

After listening to Jiang Zhenmin's account, he didn't seem too surprised.

He had previously had a vague suspicion about this.

This is why he was prepared to rob directly in the dungeon and never considered joining the three major families.

"Lu Yu..."

"You've fallen out with the three major families?"

Jiang Zhenmin hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help asking with concern.

"Um."

"They wanted to force me to join by offering me a behemoth reward."

"But I refused, so I turned my back on them and left Nanjing."

Lu Yu finished speaking.

The worry on Jiang Zhenmin's face deepened.

but……

Deep down, he also approved of Lu Yu's decision.

With Lu Yu's talent, he would be a treasure no matter which faction he joined. Why should he be loyal to the three major families and help the wicked?

"You did the right thing."

"only……"

"After this falling out, if our Luo City suffers a disaster in the future, I'm afraid the three major families will just stand by and watch, leaving Luo City to fend for itself."

Jiang Zhenmin sighed softly, but did not say anything more.

And right at this moment.

Qin Shiyao's expression changed drastically in an instant!

In her mind.

The Empress's voice suddenly rang out—

"The abyss surrounding Los Angeles could erupt at any moment!"

"and……"

"I sensed the aura of what appears to be a Saint-level behemoth!"

"Los Angeles is likely to be in trouble soon!"

This moment.

Qin Shiyao's heart sank to the bottom.

She hesitated, wanting to tell Lu Yu this information, but in the end, she still didn't know how to start.
