C653 Alone and Without Help
If it was said that the last time Lu Chong took five planets in a row in Venerable Chu's subdivision, he could be considered to have made a name for himself.
Then, he had taken thirty five planets in a row this time, capturing or killing thousands of Great Sage experts in the Chu Zun Sub-Division's training hall, truly shocking the universe and completely enraging the Chu Zun Sub-Division's training hall.
Even though his goal was still the third or fourth planets, there were too many of them, and he had captured too many Great Saints.
This was undoubtedly the most direct challenge to the Chu Zun Division. Furthermore, it was a heavy blow.
Previously, the super experts from the other side were disdainful to directly make a move against Lu Chong, but now, they had sufficient reason and motivation to do so.
The two subdivisions could disregard the life and death of the individual Great Saints, but they couldn't ignore their face and their overall interests in the Purgatory Universe.
It hadn't even been a month since he returned from the war and there were already several guards of the second-class planets threatening to take revenge.
However, the first thing Lu Chong was waiting for was not an attack from an expert of the Honored Chu Dojo, but a visit from his own sect.
"The envoy of the Jade Great Sage? What business do you have with me? "Lu Chong looked at Fang Xiao, who had come to report, and was confused.
Fang Xiao did not answer him directly. Instead, he said respectfully: "Senior Brother Lu, this Great Sage Yi Yu is a seven-star Dao Disciple of the Changming Branch. He is currently close to the great circle of the 16th Layer of Heaven."
"She's one of the ten great lords of the Purgatory Universe, and she has more than a thousand planets under her command, most of which are first and second-class."
Lu Chong had heard of the name of the Great Sage Jade, and asked: "And then?"
Seeing that Lu Chong was not moved, Fang Xiao continued, "The envoy she sent over is to advise Senior Brother Lu to join the Great Sage Jade, and they can ensure our safety."
Hearing that, Lu Chong asked with interest: "How do you want to join, and how do you want to protect us?"
Fang Xiao said with some excitement: "Give us - no, give the rights of the Planet Lord under Senior Brother Lu's command to Great Sage Yi Yu."
Seeing that Lu Chong was not worried, Fang Xiao hurriedly continued, "But they will give Senior Brother Lu corresponding territories, or even more."
"They won't be at a disadvantage for us."
Lu Chong understood. This was to seize his control over these planets and only give him the corresponding right to stay and guard them.
Although the size of his territory had not changed, he had lost the right to lead. The other party could take it back and chase him away at any time.
As the previous lord of the planet, he had to obey Great Sage Jade.
What a good plan! Even Lu Chong, who was more than a dozen light-years away, could hear it.
"Continue." Lu Chong said without batting an eyelid.
"As for how to protect us and our territory, Great Sage Jade will send experts above the 27th Layer of Heaven to assist us in guarding our territory. Furthermore, we can assist even more experts at any time," Fang Xiao explained.
Lu Chong did not give a response, but asked a further question: "What do you think of it, and what do the others think?"
After Fang Xiao pondered for a while, he said, "I think it's not impossible."
"Great Sage Yi Yu is one of the ten Lords of the Purgatory Universe and one of the strongest Dao disciples. He does indeed have the strength to block any surprise attacks from Supreme Chu Division."
"But for us, it's not too big of a loss. In fact, we'll be able to obtain even more territory."
"The other Great Saints probably think the same."
Lu Chong looked at Fang Xiao and said with a smile: "That's right, the territory in our hands did not decrease, but the initiative was completely given to the other party."
"Just because it hasn't decreased now, it doesn't mean that it won't decrease in the future. What should we do then?"
"This ..." Fang Xiao was speechless. He didn't know how to reply.
In fact, he also understood what Lu Chong meant. If it wasn't for the impending crisis, who would be willing to give up on the sovereignty of the planet?
But now that the wind was blowing, there were already quite a few second-class and even first-class territories that had spread the word that they wanted Lu Chong and the others to pay the price.
If it was not for the fact that they were worried that they would provoke those super experts from the Changming Division, they would have probably attacked them a long time ago.
How would they be able to withstand it if they couldn't get help from someone as powerful as Great Sage Yi Yu?
However, Fang Xiao didn't dare to say these words in front of Lu Chong, otherwise, wouldn't he be questioning Senior Brother Lu's strength?
He just felt that it might not be a bad idea to rely on a super expert like Great Sage Yi Yu.
Therefore, Fang Xiao quickly restrained his joy and said seriously, "I'll listen to Senior Martial Brother Lu. Senior Martial Brother, please give me your orders."
Lu Chong knew what Fang Xiao was thinking in his heart and no longer kept him in suspense. Instead, he said seriously: "You can reply to that envoy that it's impossible for you to submit to Great Sage Jade."
"But we can form an alliance, and we will give them a higher reward for their help."
"At the same time, if they encounter any danger in the future, we will naturally lend them a helping hand."
Fang Xiao was slightly surprised. Wasn't Senior Martial Brother Lu's tone a bit too arrogant?
Great Sage Yi Yu was a peak Great Sage, and his strength was one of the top ten in the Purgatory Universe. He was a senior sister that everyone respected.
It's true that we need his help, but does he need us?
Helping each other is something that can only be done if we have the same level of strength.
Lu Chong did not care about Fang Xiao's hesitation, and continued: "At the same time, you can also inform the guardians in our territory."
"With such a great enemy in front of us, if anyone wants to leave, I won't stop them. However, the territories under my command will have nothing to do with them in the future."
"Let them think about it themselves." Lu Chong said.
Seeing Lu Chong's firm attitude, Fang Xiao immediately stopped persuading him. After respectfully answering, he went to convey the message.
...
"How arrogant!"
Hearing Fang Xiao's reply, the Great Sage, who was at the 27th Layer of Heaven under Great Sage Yi Yu's command, immediately flicked his sleeves angrily and left.
A mere young talent whose cultivation was far inferior to his actually dared to be so arrogant in front of Great Sage Yi Yu?
He would definitely regret it.
At the same time, this news, as well as Lu Chong's attitude towards the guards of the territory under his command, was also spread by Fang Xiao.
For a moment, the Great Saints were all in a state of panic, and very quickly, some of them chose to withdraw.
The forces of Supreme Chu Division were approaching aggressively, and they were all alone. None of them wanted to be killed in a battle with such a large difference in strength.
Therefore, in less than three days, less than two hundred of the nearly thousand Great Saints in Lu Chong's territory had left.
Lu Chong's forty-one planetary territory could only be guarded by these few people.
Most of them were the first batch of Great Saints who were on the same side as Lu Chong. They were Great Saint Long, Great Saint Eastern Emergence, Great Saint Yu Shuang, and the others.
The storm was about to come. All of Lu Chong's planet territories were immersed in a depressing atmosphere.2
As for the large scale attack of the Venerable Chu Branch, it finally arrived two months later. It was as if it was waiting for Lu Chong's side to lose their morale before it came to an end.
