MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1277 - 254: Foreign Invaders

The death of a top Martial King from the Sky Family in Photon City made those who wanted to forcibly obtain the Qin Long Guards’ training method temporarily retreat. However, they still needed that military training method and could only resort to a different approach, opting to request it from Lu Hong.

In no time, the Photon City Lord received countless visiting cards, along with many from other Great Domains, also sending their visiting cards.

Mr. Liu stumbled into the study carrying a heap of visiting cards and placed them on the coffee table.

"Master, this is already the third batch of visiting cards we’ve received today. Among them are cards from the Lei Family, the top family of the Yang Yan Domain, and the Qi Family, the top family of the Shuize Domain. This humble servant does not dare to dispose of them recklessly." Mr. Liu respectfully bowed to Lu Hong. Although his strength was modest, he served a wise owner for a long time, and he had some understanding of the current situation on the Dark Continent.

Like the Lei Family and the Qi Family, these clans have members in the Martial King Ninth Layer, and not just one. At any moment, they might break through to the Emperor Realm. Once achieved, their family power will significantly rise. Such families can call the wind and summon the rain, and even if they aren’t in the Rongtian Domain, they can still use their influence to suppress and strike Photon City in various ways.

Hearing Mr. Liu’s words, Lu Hong nodded and then stood up, pointing at a pile of administrative reports on the desk, he said, "Deal with these. In the future, trivial matters should not be placed before me. Last time I asked you to recruit some scholars, spread these tasks among them."

Seeing Lu Hong about to become a hands-off manager again, Mr. Liu, although speechless inside, did not dare show any frustration on his face and quickly replied, "Yes, I will handle them immediately."

Lu Hong looked at the heap of visiting cards stacked like a small mountain before him and chuckled lightly.

He had no interest in dealing with these visiting cards; discussing the training method would only disrupt the stagnant water of the Rongtian Domain.

More than two months passed, and families growing impatient from the lack of response to their visiting cards were restless once more, notably the Lei and Qi families who had traveled a long distance from other Great Domains.

The envoys sent by these two families were sitting at a table, sipping liquor, their expressions somber.

"Brother Lei, it seems the Photon City Lord completely disregards our families," remarked the Qi Family envoy, looking quite angry.

The Lei Family envoy looked similarly displeased and said, "This training method allows a mere three thousand Qin Long Guards to instantly annihilate ten thousand Ghostly Wolf Riders. With it, our two families could dominate any region and even challenge a Martial Emperor. It’s infuriating that the Photon City Lord, truly like a rock in a latrine—stinking and stubborn, won’t even meet us. Does he really think he’s someone special?"

With that, the two clinked their glasses and drank deeply.

After a brief silence, the Qi Family envoy narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Brother Lei, I have a question. Could you help clarify it for me?"

The Lei Family envoy glanced at the Qi Family envoy, smiled, and said, "What’s your question, Brother Qi? Feel free to ask; I’m an open book."

"How many Martial Kings did the Lei Family bring to Photon City this time?"

The Lei Family envoy hesitated for a moment, then smiled in realization, saying, "Three Late Stage Martial Kings."

The Qi Family envoy also grinned broadly, "I, too, brought three Late Stage Martial Kings. Together, we have six Late Stage Martial Kings. Although the Photon City Lord can easily kill one, what about six? I refuse to believe that the Photon City Lord is a Martial Emperor!"

"Haha, you’re joking, Brother Qi. There are only twelve Martial Emperors in the entire world, all are Lords of Great Domains. As heirs to the top families, we know the Emperor Realm well; it’s not something one can reach merely through hard work. It depends on the tides of the world. The Photon City Lord, at most, is at the Perfect Ninth Level Martial King; he can’t possibly be a Martial Emperor."

Hearing the Lei Family envoy’s response, the Qi Family envoy nodded in satisfaction, then smiled, "Before I left for Photon City, the Family Head specifically instructed me that if we couldn’t obtain that training method, we should find a way to destroy it. We absolutely cannot let the Rongtian Domain grow strong!"

Hearing this, the Lei Family envoy also narrowed his eyes slightly and said gravely, "Coincidentally, before I set out, I received similar instructions from the Family Head. It’s just that our available power is limited, so we haven’t acted against the Photon City Lord yet."

Given this... the two envoys clinked their glasses, conveying what words could not.

The actions of the two envoys from other Great Domains did not escape the attention of the local authorities. Regarding the movements of six top Martial Kings from afar, the high ranks of the Rongtian Domain deployed extensive surveillance as soon as they crossed into their territory.

Therefore, it didn’t take long for the major families of the Rongtian Domain to deduce the purpose of these six top Martial Kings’ actions. However, they did not intervene, instead watching from the sidelines. They, too, wanted to capture Lu Hong and force him to reveal the Qin Long Guards’ training method. Unfortunately, due to Lu Hong’s formidable strength and the outward peace in the Rongtian Domain, they couldn’t make a move.

This time, however, they could use the hands of the external Martial Kings and play the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Nonetheless, Lu Hong wasn’t an oblivious and blind fool who ignored everything outside his window. On the contrary, he was acutely aware of everything happening within Photon City.

Everyone thought Lu Hong confined himself to the Photon City Lord Mansion, rarely stepping out. But in reality, with his regained Divine Sense, his mental power had already enveloped the entire Photon City. He had a clear view of the six mice stealthily creeping towards the City Lord Mansion from various directions and the Martial Kings watching eagerly from afar at the city’s edge.

Their intention to fight within the city would undoubtedly cause huge damage to Photon City. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Understanding their intent, Lu Hong sighed, stood up, and walked out from the mansion he hadn’t left for nearly three years.

The instant Lu Hong stepped out of the mansion, the six external Martial Kings halted simultaneously, frowning slightly. They felt as if their presence had been detected and thus did not act immediately.

Without glancing at any of the hidden figures, Lu Hong stepped through the sky like a meteor towards the outskirts of Photon City.

The six Martial Kings were startled, fearing that their presence was indeed discovered and thought Lu Hong was trying to escape.

"Pursue him!" cried a powerful Martial King Eighth Realm, prompting all six top Martial Kings to erupt with energy, blasting a hundred-zhang radius impact in place, turning into six blood-colored meteors chasing after Lu Hong.

As for the potential harm their actions might cause to surrounding civilians, none of them cared about that.

After pursuing for about a hundred li outside the city, Lu Hong stopped, landing at the bottom of a valley.

In a blink, the six Late Stage Martial Kings surrounded Lu Hong, trapping him firmly at the center.

"You can’t escape!" sneered a Qi Family Martial King. "If you obediently hand over the Qin Long Guards’ training method and the special combined attack formation, we might spare your life. Otherwise, today, this place will be your grave."

Hearing this, Lu Hong smiled and asked, "Aren’t you curious why I suddenly came to this place?"

"Haha, what is there to be curious about? Aren’t you just picking a feng shui spot for your burial?" A Lei Family Martial King glanced around, "I must admit, you chose a good place for yourself, surrounded by mountains with beautiful scenery. It’s perfect for a burial site."

Lu Hong glanced at the speaking Lei Family Martial King, pointed at him, and said, "I’ll bury you first later."

"Insolence! Even if you’re a Martial King Ninth Layer power, today you cannot escape our grasp alive! If you know what’s good for you, hand over the training method!"

Facing the continuous pressing of the six Martial Kings, Lu Hong lost his patience: "Enough of this prattle—it’s annoying. Today you’ll all be buried here; none of you will leave alive!"

With those words, Lu Hong launched his assault.

His body surged forward like an arrow, charging toward the Lei Family Martial King he had previously pointed at.

Though Lu Hong was indeed fast, the six Martial Kings were not unprepared. The Lei Family Martial King stood his ground, retaliating with a punch towards Lu Hong.
