Chapter 1473: Chapter 658: Here We Come_2

At this moment, you’re not continuing to follow...

Do you want to die?

Although Fang Yu didn’t speak, both his expression and demeanor undeniably displayed these words on his face.

Lu Qiaochun sighed and said, "Mr. Diao, from what you said, you’ve betrayed the Rebel Army, but I am ultimately a person of the Rebel Army. Even if Thunder City is in such chaos, I still want to stay and share the fate with the Rebel Army."

Unexpectedly, Lu Qiaochun is still loyal to the Rebel Army.

However...

Fang Yu pointed to the turmoil in the distance.

"Thunder City is in such turmoil now, demons are rampant, after tonight, whether Thunder City still exists is uncertain, not to mention the Rebel Army... Are you sure you want to stay? This is almost a dead end."

"..."

Lu Qiaochun fell silent.

She was clearly aware of the current situation, with each Sky-reaching Pillar turning into a giant Buddha statue demon wreaking havoc in the city, the Ten Major Families had still not made any counteractions, and Thunder City itself seemed on the brink of collapse.

Yet just leaving Thunder City... she felt as if she would lose her roots, drifting away without a place to return to.

Thunder City contained everything to her, her beliefs, ideals, family and friends, even mortal enemies, everything she lived for and experienced was made up of everything in Thunder City, leaving it, she didn’t know how to face an unknown future...

She hesitated.

"The Rebel Army... there must still be survivors, after seeing off Mr. Diao, I’ll go back to find them. Either organize them to stay and fight in Thunder City, or lead them to find a new place to settle."

Fang Yu remained silent for a moment, seeing Lu Qiaochun’s determination.

This was a kind of contradictory mindset.

When he left Tianyuan Town, he had similar emotions.

But in the end, he hadn’t stayed in Tianyuan Town for long, though he missed it, he still had the determination to head into the distance.

However, Lu Qiaochun wanted to stay in the past.

"You’ve thought it over, whichever path you choose, neither will be easy."

Lu Qiaochun laughed nonchalantly, "Even if the sky falls, there are taller ones to catch it. The Minister and others are not so easy to fall. At most, the fight against the Ten Major Families has turned into a fight against city demons to rebuild our home. As long as we’re together, the Rebel Army of Thunder City will not disappear."

As long as the Rebel Army exists, home... exists.

The response to Lu Qiaochun was...

"Giddy up!"

The wagon driven by a big horse accelerated through the street, rushing forward.

The sudden bump made several people on the wagon unable to sit still, but Lu Qiaochun laughed reassuringly, she knew Fang Yu had already agreed to her decision.

"... Where... is this place?"

Suddenly, a strange voice rang beside her.

Lu Qiaochun was stunned for a moment and looked at that person.

"Monk! No, Master, Master Quan Heng has awakened!"

Master Quan Heng has awakened?

Fang Yu’s face lit up with joy.

"Switch, Lu Qiaochun, you drive the horse."

"Understood!"

The two switched positions, Fang Yu retreated to the wagon.

Ignoring Ding Hui who was busy sticking needles into the tumor, Fang Yu spoke to the still somewhat dazed Monk Quan Heng.

"Stinking monk, to save your life this time, I’ve put in so much effort, almost lost my life, how do you plan to repay me?"

Stinking, stinking monk?

Monk Quan Heng was evidently still a little confused, his memory still lingering on the time when the Family Head of the An Family came to visit unexpectedly.

Then, there was a long blank.

Upon waking up, he was on the wagon, with Fang Yu, Ding Hui, and others beside him.

"Inspecting Officer Diao, what exactly... happened?"

Accompanied by the violent noise from afar, the street’s hellish scenery, Monk Quan Heng was utterly bewildered, with a feeling of being at a loss of where he had been taken to.

"You were controlled by the old things of the An Family and helped them repair the Sky-reaching Pillar, the Rebel Army was preparing to intercept and seize the Sky-reaching Pillar, naturally they also used your life. Unfortunately, I betrayed them and retrieved you. Now what’s happening at the An Mansion, I don’t know, but anyway, Thunder City is in chaos."

Fang Yu explained briefly.

But the more concise, the more significant the matter.

Every message from Fang Yu made Monk Quan Heng’s head buzz.

Such twists and turns, how could they be so simple to express in words, just rescuing people under the eyes of the Rebel Army and the An Mansion was already a matter of life and death.

"Amitabha..."

Monk Quan Heng wanted to say something, but in the end, he just opened his mouth and turned it into two words.

"Thank you."

He looked at the situation within the city, like purgatory on earth.

All beings suffer, all beings are in difficulty, yet he is powerless.

At this moment, the thunder in the night sky mirrored his current state of mind—chaotic and restless.

"Mr. Diao, are you planning to leave Thunder City now?"

The fine thunder pillars ahead looked like a thunder prison, not easy to deal with.

"Of course! Thunder City is so perilous now, if we don’t hurry and leave, we might end up buried here."

"...I come to lend Mr. Diao a hand, but, once you all leave Thunder City, I plan to return to the An Mansion."

What?!

Fang Yu almost thought he misheard.

"You want to go back too? Are you crazy?"

The locals of Thunder City might want to stay in their hometown, but you, a stinky monk, why would you?

"Amitabha, Mr. Diao forgets, Benefactor Guo is still at the An Mansion, moreover... the suffering of Thunder City, the suffering of all beings, the present suffering... I, a humble monk, cannot turn a blind eye."

Fang Yu was speechless.

He certainly knew Guo Yuxin was still at the An Mansion, but with Guo Yuxin’s strength, the aftermath of the battle alone could have killed her dozens of times; she’s probably dead already. Besides, Guo Yuxin is a player, she can be reborn after dying, at worst she can post online or let Uncle Qi Sheng find someone in reality, you returning as a native is asking for death!

I didn’t save your life for nothing!

"Stinky monk, as long as you follow me, I’m confident I can let you see Guo Yuxin again, but if you turn back now, it might be a permanent separation between this world and the next." Fang Yu said seriously.

Monk Quan Heng shook his head slightly.

"Even without Benefactor Guo, I plan to go back and rescue people. Mr. Diao, rest assured, I only intend to save those before me, and will avoid risks; I’ll save as many as I can. Perhaps this is the... real test left to me by my master."

What a shining example of human nature, how dazzling!

This guy, he’s really fearless!

Fang Yu was completely speechless.

Well, saved someone just to send them to die, all work for nothing.

By this time, the city gate could already be seen up ahead, and beneath the open gate, a dense crowd of people was packed together.

Fang Yu, with his keen eyes, saw that people pushed to the front were charred black just by a touch of the thunder pillar; the current spread and they fell down screaming, breathless.

These ordinary people had no way to deal with this thunder pillar blockade.

However, the people behind, unaware, kept pushing others forward, like products on an assembly line, continuously pushed towards the pillar of death.

So, that mass of black people was in chaos, attacking each other, cursing and shoving each other, almost in complete disorder.

"Stinky monk, if you want to leave Thunder City, you must first deal with this Thunder Pillar Prison, without resolving this, even if you rescue people, you can’t leave Thunder City."

"I will certainly lend Mr. Diao a hand!"

"Alright, once the thunder pillar blockade is resolved, you go back to your An Mansion, and I’ll go to my Capital. If fate allows, we’ll meet again in the Capital."

"Agreed."

Monk Quan Heng said with a smile.

At this time, the carriage was already approaching the crowd, Lu Qiaochun had no intention of stopping, seemingly intending to crash straight through to make a path.

"No way!"

Monk Quan Heng quickly stopped her.

But Lu Qiaochun did not pay attention, she knew what the optimal solution was in this situation.

Yet...

"Stop for now."

Fang Yu spoke, so she could only tighten the reins, having the horse stop.

"Ding Hui!"

Fang Yu called out.

"Ah?"

Ding Hui, who was still immersed in fiddling with the meat tumor, raised her head in confusion.

"Ah what, let’s study the thunder pillar together!"

What together... isn’t it always just me doing it all alone.

Ding Hui reluctantly put down the meat tumor.

"Keep it safe!"

She instructed Lu Qiaochun.
