Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

At a glance, Fang Yu was somewhat taken aback.

Because the street directly ahead was almost half-destroyed, buildings were leaning every which way, some directly collapsed into ruins, no longer recognizable.

”What is this?”

Fang Yu asked in confusion.

”This is the destruction caused within the city after the Lin Family Patriarch went rogue. This area is relatively minor; near the Lin Family, the workshop was truly devastated.”

You only mentioned that the Lin Family’s old ancestor caused damage within the city, not that it was this severe.

This isn’t just making some damage; it’s as if a demolition team came to tear things down.

As Fang Yu followed Hong Yanxia, the further they went in, the more exaggerated the destruction on both sides of the street became.

The battle line stretched so long, as if it reached from the city head to the city tail, it could be said to have fought three hundred rounds.

According to Hong Yanxia, at that time, it was the Master of Foolish Earth Mansion in Da Liang City, along with several other family heads, who came to jointly stop the Lin Family’s old ancestor.

It seems that the Master of Foolish Earth Mansion in Da Liang City is not simple either.

Besides the visible traces of building destruction, the most common sight in the city was the white mourning silk.

Many families, even though their houses had collapsed, had hung mourning silk in front of the remains.

It can be seen that quite a few people must have died in that battle.

However, there were hardly any living people seen on the road; occasionally, when someone was spotted, they avoided them as if avoiding danger, not daring to get close.

”It is still unclear if this poison is contagious, so we’ve been instructed over here to keep distance as much as possible and reduce contact with others.”

Hong Yanxia explained to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu nodded.

He did not have much understanding of viruses and such.

He thought he would let Ding Hui have a look later. With Ding Hui’s talents, resolving this virus most likely wouldn’t be an issue.

He just needed to remind Ding Hui to be careful not to get infected herself.

However, this advice might be redundant, as Ding Hui knew much more than he did.

”Finally in the city!”

”We finally have a place to settle down!”

”I won’t leave! Even if you kill me, I won’t leave! Outside, I’m worried every day, afraid of encountering demons and getting eaten by them! Now that we’ve entered the city, our family will settle here!”

”Me too, me too! I’ve heard of Da Liang City; although it’s not as prosperous as Thunder City, it’s quite lively and suitable for living. Looking at the city now, it’s a bit desolate, but still much better than living outside.”

From the back, there was rustling, and some low discussions could be heard from the crowd.

It seems that many people wish to stay behind.

Fang Yu didn’t know what others thought, but he raised both hands in agreement for those who wanted to stay.

The journey to Shangjing was not only far but full of dangers; even Fang Yu himself couldn’t guarantee a safe arrival, let alone with a large group of ordinary people.

Having traveled this far without encountering any Great Demons was pure luck.

If a Super Great Demon were to appear, Fang Yu couldn’t guarantee the safety of others; he could at most protect Ding Hui and Song Zhenrong, escaping with them.

Now having the burden offloaded to Da Liang City, reducing personnel, and traveling light greatly decreased the journey’s risks.

”Senior, ahead is...”

Hong Yanxia had just begun to say that ahead was the Foolish Underworld when she suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

Fang Yu, puzzled, followed her gaze forward.

Four men and women were sitting at a large table under the gate plaque of Foolish Underworld’s entrance, reclining with their legs crossed, snacking on seeds.

”Oh! Finally here!”

”So slow!”

”This guy is the one who killed Lin Liang? Her outburst that night wasn’t weak at all.”

”As you know, it was a burst of power; under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t have been able to break through our blockade.”

The four seemed familiar with each other, casually approaching Fang Yu and the others while chatting.

”Master Hong, greetings.”

”Master Hong, why the frown? Not happy to see us?”

”Haha! Master Hong doesn’t seem to welcome us.”

”Don’t worry, don’t worry, we’re just here to meet you and explain to our family. We’ll be on our way soon; we wouldn’t dare provoke the Foolish Underworld.”

Though they spoke this way, the few of them were all laughing as if they weren’t afraid of angering Hong Yanxia at all.

Fang Yu asked in confusion.

”Who are these people...?”

Fang Yu had just asked, but before Hong Yanxia could introduce them, the four introduced themselves first.

”Pleasure! Nanyuan Family, Nanyuan En! Greetings to this brother!”

”Lu Family, Lu Qingyan.”

”Shu Family, Shu Banshuang!”

”Yi Family, Yi Haisang.”

Two men and two women, all good-looking, seemingly the sons and daughters of certain families.

Fang Yu glanced at Hong Yanxia.

The latter just remained silent, frowned, but did not speak or express any stance.

Obviously, Hong Yanxia had the absolute strength, but in terms of momentum, it seemed these people were stronger.

”Are you all here to see me?”

”Exactly!”

Nanyuan En grinned.

It seemed these people had discussed it earlier and decided to let Nanyuan En speak for them at this moment.

”It’s said that Lin Liang died at your hands? We represent the Nanyuan Family, Lu Family, Shu Family, and Yi Family of Da Liang City, and we came to visit you. All our families have a bounty for Lin Liang. If brother has time, you are welcome to visit our families to claim the reward, which is always valid. Brother, you can choose what to take as a reward.”

In a few words, Nanyuan En made the situation clear.

After speaking, he cupped his hands.

”We just came to say hello this time, the old folks at home insisted that we come, we had no choice. Master Hong, sorry for the inconvenience. We won’t say much else, leave a name, brother, so if you come to claim the reward from our houses, let us know, we’ll come and enjoy some drinks with you!”

Although somewhat sudden, Nanyuan En gave a fairly good impression.

Their captain-level strength somewhat respectable.

Fang Yu slightly nodded.

”My name is Diao Deyi, when I have time, I will visit your families to claim the reward.”

”Sounds good! Then... Brother Diao, see you later?”

”See you later.”

The group was carefree as well.

After talking, they cracked seeds and chatted as they left together.

The people in the group looked at them curiously, not realizing that as they left, they were also observing the long queue, noting who was present.

This observation was very discreet, and apart from Song Zhenrong and Ding Hui and a few others, almost no one noticed.

”Master Hong, this is...?”

”No need to mind them, after the battle where the Lin Family Patriarch went berserk, each of our families suffered a lot. Our Foolish Underworld is better off, we have enough people, but the other families are short on manpower, so they’ll pay more attention to outsiders like you.”

Fang Yu understood instantly.

They were obviously recruiting outsiders as Guest Elders.

Not that he hadn’t done it before.

However, for Da Liang City, it was just a temporary rest stop, not intending to engage too much with local forces.

”Don’t worry, although their behavior might seem a bit unusual, they are righteous people and won’t harm the members of the senior experts’ group.”

Hong Yanxia added.

”Master Hong seems to dislike them?”

”Very much.”

Hong Yanxia spoke frankly.

”Although they haven’t made any major mistakes, they’ve made quite a few minor ones, often causing me trouble.”

Fang Yu shrugged, it seemed there was a bit of a grudge between them, but not serious enough to be adversarial.

”This way for the seniors, the others can head to the yard over there, someone will arrange accommodations for you soon.”

Everyone else was left behind, only Fang Yu was invited to go further inside.

Fang Yu hesitated for a moment, looked back at Song Zhenrong, who responded with a slight nod.

Only then did Fang Yu feel assured to follow Hong Yanxia further in.

The Lord of Da Liang City’s Mansion, huh...

I’m curious to see what level of power you hold.

Following Hong Yanxia to a grand hall, Hong Yanxia stepped inside, and Fang Yu followed.

Inside the hall, there were only two people.

An old man lying on the ground drinking, drooling all over.

A woman almost entirely wrapped in bandages, but her curves still discernible.

[Lu Yuetian: 4618/8000.]

[He Guxue: 3169/8552.]

Fang Yu:...

After a moment’s hesitation, Fang Yu asked.

”Which of you two is the Lord of the Mansion?”
