A warrior must advance courageously! Lu Qubing met Luo Yunyangs gaze before he said in an extremely tranquil tone, This might sound easy, but its difficult to do! Thats why you shouldnt have any psychological barriers!

Luo Yunyang nodded. My wood-based life source core can now reverse vitality. I already absorbed most of Nie Xins vital energy. I only left a little. I reckoned that hes already at deaths doorstep, so he wont live long!

Although Lu Qubing had already speculated that Luo Yunyang had reached an exceptional stage, when he heard Luo Yunyangs words, he turned pale and nearly stepped on his own foot.

Is that why you didnt kill him right away?

Partly. Another reason was because I felt that, although killing someone openly is extremely valiant, doing so might cause you and the Rising Dragon Army quite a bit of trouble. I used this vitality-reversing method to make things simpler!

Lu Qubing unconsciously turned his head and glanced at Luo Yunyang. Any killing intent on his face had already disappeared completely. He no longer had a sinister expression. He was actually even smiling back. Lu Qubing sighed inwardly. This ever-smiling fellow was really frightening. He appeared overcautious on the outside, but he always thought things through over and over. When he made a decision to kill someone, he was firm and decisive.

Although he was very young, the way he had handled this matter reminded Lu Qubing of a scheming killer hiding quietly and suddenly appearing with a killing knife!

Yes, very good. Although a leader needs to know when to show gratitude and take revenge, he also needs to be mature. Come on, lets go to my house and chat.

Being invited to Lu Qubings home was a great honor among the Rising Dragon Army. The people who had been granted this honor could be counted on one persons fingers.

Lu Qubing was the Rising Dragon Armys Viceroy, so Luo Yunyang thought that his residence would be very spacious. However, it was in fact pretty ordinary.

Lu Qubings house was actually similar to Luo Yunyangs previous house.

There was only a room and a hall, both of them very out-fashioned.

There was just a shabby old table and a few chairs in the room. The only thing that betrayed Lu Qubings status was the neat Viceroy uniform hanging on a hanger.

Disappointed? Lu Qubing asked, as though he could read Luo Yunyangs mind. Then, he laughed at himself. Or are you disappointed that this old fogey doesnt have a pretty daughter or granddaughter?

Ever since Luo Yunyang had met Viceroy Lu Qubing, he had found him very grave and solemn. He had never imagined that he would say such self-mocking words.

The apocalypse was too long ago for young people like you. Lu Qubings voice was extremely tranquil. This house was my home before the apocalypse. It is still my home now.

Luo Yunyang tactfully decided not to ask anything else. If someone stayed at the same place and refused to move away, this meant that this place had a significant meaning to them. If that place was related to the apocalypse, then its significance would surely be even bigger.

Actually, quite a number of people wanted me to demolish this house and turn it into a small district for Rising Dragon Army dependents. People are really straightforward when it comes to using ones power to bully others!

A pot of wine and a plate of peanuts were placed on the table. Lu Qubing poured two cups as he said earnestly, The first cup will be a toast to your victory at this competition.

When Lu Qubing gulped the wine down, a red flush appeared immediately on his face.

Dont think that this is something trivial. It is actually something massive. Your victory will put food on the table of countless kids and improve the living standards of the entire 13 Eastern Cities.

Lu Qubing refilled the cups to the brim before he added, The second cup will be a toast to the Ravenous Wolfs death. You now rank 10th on the Earth List!

Luo Yunyang raised his cup and clinked it against Lu Qubings. Lu Qubing coughed softly. You might be very angry about this, but let me tell you something. I am also furious. When I heard that the secret prescription had been stolen, I felt the urge to kill someone. How could they dare kidnap a person right under our noses? This was simply a provocation

Lu Qubing gestured wildly with his arms. At the time, I even wanted to start a war. If we started a war though, the odds of victory would be stacked against us. Even if we defeated the fellows from the 17 Western Cities, our many years of accumulated hard work would go to waste

Humanity would truly have no hope anymore.

How can they be so brazen? Luo Yunyangs voice sounded a little detached as he placed down the cup he was holding in his hand.

They have a plan to avoid the source beasts! Lu Qubing said really solemnly. Their plan is called the Ark Plan!

You have probably read the story of Noahs ark. Thats right, their plan is to build a massive flying ship that will carry the majority of humanitys elites into space and escape to a planet they have already selected.

They believe that they can avoid source beasts this way!

It is because of this plan that quite a number of people from the 13 Eastern Cities want to avoid being at a disadvantage and have chosen the 17 Western Cities instead.

The Ark Plan? Luo Yunyang felt a chill when he heard this. Although he didnt know how big the ark would be and how many people it would be able to hold, when he thought about it flying into the cosmos, he immediately understood that it would require massive amounts of energy.

The number of people it would carry naturally wouldnt be very big.

If the elites were gone, one could imagine what would happen when the source beasts arrived.

We have always opposed this plan, but the allure of survival is just too great. Thats why there is a number of people who act honorably in the open, but have already approved this plan in secret.

Lu Qubing sighed deeply. Most people cannot understand matters of life and death. Oh, I forgot. Lets toast this third cup of wine to you, for not killing Nie Xin right away. Although I would have tried my hardest to protect you, Im happy that I didnt have to do it.

Lu Qubings words were magnanimous, yet Luo Yunyang could hear the sincerity in them.

After three cups of wine, Lu Qubing placed his cup down and said, Thats enough wine. Take a look at my collection. You can pick three items from it, but your choices will be final. I dont accept returned goods!

Lu Qubing was the Rising Dragon Armys Viceroy. Although his residence was simple and unadorned, this didnt mean that he didnt own anything nice.

Three cups of wine, three issues, three items!

Luo Yunyang didnt decline. He followed Lu Qubing into his storeroom, which only took up an area of one square meter. It actually looked like a really old green cupboard.

All my belongings are here. Take your pick!
