My starting summon is a small skeleton-Chapter 340 - 337 Stay or Leave

Hmm, it’s quite clear, Lu Wu had feigned death.

The routine of feigning death, when spoken of, is actually quite simple.

In the moment Zhou An bombarded him, he followed Little Flood Dragon into the sea.

Under the cover of Zhou An’s bombardment, Little Flood Dragon entered Lu Wu’s body, while Lu Wu activated the Dragon Transformation skill.

With this skill, Lu Wu easily disguised himself as Little Flood Dragon, creating the illusion that he was dead.

Of course, Lu Wu’s feigning of death was not something he planned alone.

At first, he hadn’t even thought in that direction.

Initially, Lu Wu was simply unable to contain his anger due to Old Bone’s death, wanting to lash out and kill Feng Xiu in a full confrontation.

Thinking of faking his own death? Lu Wu really hadn’t considered it at first.

The one who led him to consider this option, to carry out this plan, was Zhang Yunyi.

Let’s rewind time to three days ago.

That was when Zhou An, the deputy director of the Demon Suppression Bureau, hmm, the same unlucky guy who just died, had just arrived in Jiangnan.

Right after his arrival, Zhang Yunyi also came.

The first thing this woman did upon arriving in Jiangnan was to seek out Jiang Yuexing.

She told Jiang Yuexing that she was sent by Lu Haikong to help.

The name Lu Haikong was particularly effective; Jiang Yuexing was easily manipulated by Zhang Yunyi.

Then, through Jiang Yuexing, Zhang Yunyi met Lu Wu.

It was the first time Lu Wu had seen this woman.

At first glance at Zhang Yunyi, Lu Wu knew she was not a simple woman.

Lu Wu’s judgment was not based on Zhang Yunyi’s temperament or appearance, but on her attributes.

Lu Wu had thought that, as the Governor of Jiangbei, her strength should be similar to Jiang Yuexing’s, but when he saw her attributes filled with question marks, it made him realize her strength was beyond his imagination. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

And it was not just Zhang Yunyi’s strength that exceeded Lu Wu’s expectations, but also her schemes.

This woman was actually able to discuss a feigned death plan with Lu Wu right in front of Moon Shadow, a plan so secretive that even Moon Shadow should be kept in the dark.

Not only did she manage to deceive Moon Shadow right in front of her eyes, but she also persuaded Lu Wu.

After hesitating for a day, Lu Wu ultimately agreed to cooperate with Zhang Yunyi.

It was precisely because Zhang Yunyi was acting behind the scenes that Zhou An attacked Lu Wu without any warning.

It was why Moon Shadow couldn’t detect that Lu Wu was still alive.

It was why some existences unknown to Lu Wu could be fooled.

It was how Lu Wu managed to so smoothly fake his own death.

Her skills and capabilities were clear for all to see.

And the reason why Lu Wu was willing to cooperate with someone to fake his own death was partly due to his current situation, but also because of a phrase that moved him, spoken by Zhang Yunyi.

She said, "As long as you’re alive, you’ll forever be in the spotlight, with countless people staring dead at you, constantly wishing for your death, and the troubles you face today will keep repeating. People will die for you, preventing your smooth progress.

But if you’re dead, not only will today’s troubles stop abruptly, but you’ll also have countless people sent to their graves for your sake!"

To back oneself into a corner before emerging victorious was the best solution for Lu Wu’s current circumstances.

However, this solution had one drawback.

From today onwards.

Until Lu Wu had enough power in his grasp, he would have to live in the shadows.

Besides him and Zhang Yunyi, there could not and would not be a third person who knew he was alive.

Lu Wu himself might also need to leave for a while; he had to completely disappear, even temporarily severing his contracts with Little Skeleton and Little Flood Dragon to completely erase his existence.

From a certain perspective.

The person "Lu Wu" could be said to have truly died; at least for the near future, Lu Wu could not appear under that identity.

Of course, Lu Wu was well aware of this.

Not long after Moon Shadow left, he found an opportunity under Zhang Yunyi’s cover, released Little Flood Dragon, took a look around by himself, and rested quietly on a small island more than 50 kilometers from the battlefield while waiting for his partner to arrive.

To be honest, Lu Wu was feeling somewhat anxious right now.

After all, aside from Little Skeleton and Little Flood Dragon, the only one who knows he’s alive is Zhang Yunyi.

With her strength clear for all to see, if she ever turned cold-hearted, it seemed that Lu Wu could only let her have her way.

Of course, that’s only how it seemed.

Lu Wu was never the type to trust his life entirely to someone else’s hands.

Even with Dudu, he was afraid the girl’s carelessness might accidentally kill him, let alone Zhang Yunyi.

So, Lu Wu had prepared a backup plan early on as a threat.

Just in case Zhang Yunyi really craved his body, Lu Wu would have a way to fight back.

Of course, Lu Wu hoped he wouldn’t need to use his backup plan, or his situation would be quite dire.

With a nervous heart, Lu Wu anxiously waited for a day, and finally, Zhang Yunyi came.

"Sorry, because you died, there were many things to handle, and to avoid exposing anything, I could only make you wait a bit longer."

Zhang Yunyi started with an explanation.

At the same time, she casually handed Lu Wu a bag.

"This is for you."

Lu Wu opened it to find a bag of fruits.

Name: Replenishing Essence Fruit

Quality: Legendary

Effect: Can replenish essence to the greatest extent, extremely effective for healing and recovery, and, of course, it would be even better if made into medicine.

There were probably about ten fruits in the bag, quite a valuable gift.

"Thanks!"

Lu Wu didn’t stand on ceremony this time, as his current condition was truly pitiable, and these ten fruits might just save his life.

He called out Han and shared the fruits, the man and bird devouring them clean.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunyi nearby chuckled lightly, "Aren’t you afraid I’ve poisoned them?"

Lu Wu, having eaten five Legendary Quality fruits, didn’t show much change, but Han, who was just called out and nearly done for, instantly became full of energy and his power soared significantly, seemingly on the verge of reaching Lord 3 Star.

Lu Wu’s condition also improved greatly, and his voice grew stronger.

"Not afraid."

Now feeling much better, Lu Wu’s tone was quite sweet, "The moment I see Aunt Zhang, I feel a closeness, as if she were my own mother. I absolutely trust you, and when you asked me to deceive Moon Shadow, I didn’t hesitate at all!"

"Really? I’ve heard more than once that you were going to settle accounts with me because of Zhao Kai Ming’s incident."

"How could that be? Who’s spreading such rumors?

Uncle Zhao’s issue was done by Jin Lihai, what does it have to do with Aunt Zhang?

Besides, when I was captured by Yan Ruxue, it was Ms. Yue Chu who saved me. My heart for Aunt Zhang is as clear as the sun and the moon!"

Lu Wu fell short of swearing an oath to the sky.

Zhang Yunyi looked at Lu Wu and laughed lightly, "Alright, enough of that. I can’t spare much time, so we can’t waste it chatting.

Let’s talk about serious matters."

"Okay!"

"The news of your death should have reached some interested parties by now, and after a day of fermentation, the news of your death is spreading, becoming an established fact.

This means our fake death plan was a success.

It’s time for the next step."

Zhang Yunyi paused for a moment, and then said seriously, looking at Lu Wu, "Now, you need to make a choice, whether to stay in Zone 1 or to leave Zone 1."

"What’s the difference?"

Zhang Yunyi explained, "Staying in Zone 1, your actions will be severely limited.

Your power has already reached the Lord Level, and to ascend further, you need Legendary Level resources. It’s difficult to acquire resources effectively through points, and you have to enter Secret Realms to do so.

But the Secret Realm resources in Zone 1 have mostly been exploited, and what’s left is controlled by the Alliance.

In other words, it’s hard for you to grow in Zone 1, and there’s even a risk of being exposed.

On the other hand, outside of Zone 1, the situation is different.

The Alliance’s influence isn’t strong beyond Zone 1, many Secret Realm resources are undeveloped, and fewer people recognize you, so you can be active and grow rapidly in a short time.

Of course, the dangers will relatively be higher.

So, whether to stay or leave, how do you choose?"
