Listening to these high-ranking children of families that had already been eradicated, Lu Hong felt utterly uninterested. He got up and left without any hesitation.
Although Lu Hong appeared insignificant as a grain of sand in their eyes, his combat strength could not be ignored. Among the current remnants, Lu Hong’s strength was undoubtedly the greatest.
These remnants were those with relatively diocre strength who had escaped detection. The truly formidable figures in their families had long been clearly targeted and arranged by the Six Great Families, and were the first to be surrounded and killed, leaving no chance for retaliation.
Therefore, without the support of high-end combat power, these over two thousand Ancient Titans were not enough to stand against a top-tier Titan of the 13th Domain.
The crowd fell into silence as Lu Hong departed.
Hearing the lack of further dispute behind him, Lu Hong halted his steps and said indifferently, "You have lost everything, yet you still bicker here over such trivial power. Such shortsightedness—don’t bla for being blunt—it’s no wonder it is you who were eradicated."
After speaking, Lu Hong departed without lingering.
Lu Hong’s words struck a nerve, and most people present flushed red, feeling their pain exposed.
"We’ll leave it at this for today. We’ll talk again tomorrow," Tian Chuzi said, feeling a dull pain in his heart, then got up and left without further words.
Following Tian Chuzi’s departure, the core mbers of his group also rose to leave.
As for Xia Yuanlang’s side, nothing more was said.
The following day, Tian Chuzi’s group, after a night of discussion, chose to join Xia Yuanlang’s side.
In response, Xia Yuanlang gave Tian Chuzi the position of second-in-command in the revenge team to maintain balance between the two groups.
This rging expanded the Six Great Families’ revenge team to nearly two thousand Titans.
Though the Primordial Forest was enormous, such a large group could hardly conceal its tracks. Every day, they needed to kill and eat hundreds of Xiong beasts to fill their stomachs, making concealnt impossible.
The best strategy was to stay in constant motion to avoid staying in one place for too long.
However, the movent speed of over two thousand people was much slower than that of a few individuals.
Eventually, the Six Great Families discovered their tracks.
News quickly reached the Six Great Families.
At Dragon Tiger Pass, the senior mbers of the Lu Family looked at their scout and asked, "Have you found their tracks?"
The scout bowed in reply, "Reporting to Great General, I discovered a large number of Xiong beast carcasses and traces left by a massive group in the depths of the Longmang Wastelands."
"Approximately how many people are there?" Without needing to guess, this General Lu knew these must be the remnants of the Six Families.
"At least over two thousand," the scout provided a relatively accurate estimate.
"Two thousand?" General Lu raised an eyebrow, then smiled. "I didn’t expect these escapees to amass such a considerable scale. That’s good, though; we can slay them all in one sweep, saving us the trouble of hunting them down one by one."
After so contemplation, General Lu ordered, "Soone, relay my command imdiately. Mobilize five thousand Dragon Tiger Army troops. Additionally, send a ssage to Four Waters Pass to have them send troops from the Longmang Wastelands to cut off their retreat and ensure cooperation with us to completely obliterate these strays in the Longmang Wastelands!"
Soon, the ssage was delivered via special channels to Four Waters Pass, and based on the information from Dragon Tiger Pass, they also began mobilizing forces, deploying five thousand troops into the Longmang Wastelands.
About ten days later, the tranquility of the two thousand-strong revenge faction, who were resting and taking als, was shattered by a scout’s frantic return.
"Bad... it’s bad! I saw the Dragon Tiger Army—no less than five thousand strong—searching towards us!"
Hearing this, Xia Yuanlang was initially shocked but quickly regained his composure. They had long prepared for such an occurrence; they just hadn’t expected it to happen so soon.
Subsequently, Xia Yuanlang looked towards Lu Hong.
Before the latter could speak, Lu Hong interrupted, "You lead the people to start scattering and fleeing according to the pre-set plan. We’re too large a target and easily discovered. We must break apart and grow separately, absorb more scattered forces, and regroup when the Twelve Domains allied forces of the Dark Continent enter here to face the enemy together. I’ll hold off the Dragon Tiger Army to buy you ti."
The initial integration, instead of imdiate dispersal, was simple: indoctrination.
Lu Hong needed to unify them first and teach them revenge thods before proceeding further. Unifying their thoughts first made proceeding with their plan easier; otherwise, if the Six Great Families split back into six factions, discussions of resistance would be pointless. Thus, the two-thousand-strong group had to first rge, erase forr thoughts and habits, and achieve complete unity.
Though not perfectly executed, with the pursuers arriving, separation was unavoidable to prevent being completely annihilated.
"Thank you, Master Lu," said Xia Yuanlang. Over the days, Lu Hong had taught him much, and although he hadn’t officially beco Lu Hong’s disciple, he saw Lu Hong as his ntor.
"Quickly leave, before it’s too late," Lu Hong waved his hand before swiftly departing towards the direction of the incoming Dragon Tiger Army’s search.
The group of over two thousand rapidly divided into more than twenty smaller groups, scattering and fleeing.
During their search, the Dragon Tiger Army suddenly faced a fierce Sword Qi assault.
This single strike, carrying a crimson hue, surged from the sky.
However, the startling power prematurely exposed its wielding side. Swiftly responding, General Lu, his body radiating the Law, rose into the sky and directly resisted the descending massive Sword Qi.
Rumbling sounds echoed with the collision of power, shaking the heavens.
General Lu, landing sowhat disheveled, stepped back, surprised as he gazed in the direction from which the Sword Qi was issued, asking, "Who are you? All formidable figures of the Six Great Criminals are dead—how is one still eluding us?"
As General Lu spoke, the Dragon Tiger Army quickly regrouped, surrounding and protecting him while remaining vigilant.
Soon, Lu Hong appeared in their line of sight.
"So, you’re Lu Hong?" General Lu naturally recognized the person they had once intended to kill: "How did you end up here? Didn’t Jin Wudi and the Holy King kill you back then?"
Regarding that battle, the Jin Family hadn’t disclosed any details externally. The news of Jin Wudi going to kill Lu Hong was widely known.
Thus, most assud Jin Wudi went to kill Lu Hong, who then vanished, never seen again. Jin Wudi, challenging the Ten Thousand Mountains Titan God King, returned severely injured, leading most to believe Jin Wudi was dead.
No one knew that not only had Lu Hong survived, but he had also acquired Jin Wudi’s complete legacy—albeit unwillingly on both sides.
Nonetheless, Lu Hong acquired a cultivation system that completely transcended this world.
Seeing Lu Hong, General Lu soon realized and sternly asked, "You were helping those rebels?"
"Actually, aren’t you the rebels? Slaying the Holy King, fonting chaos, and pinning false labels on others," Lu Hong chuckled lightly in response.
"Humph! Throughout history, victors write the narratives. Now that the 13th Domain is ours, you are the rebels."
Lu Hong didn’t refute General Lu’s words. Historically, they bore truth. Truth lay solely within a cannon’s range—absolute power conveyed absolute authority.
"I agree with your view," Lu Hong nodded.
At this point, General Lu’s expression shifted, imdiately ordering, "Everyone, charge over there at once. The rebels have started fleeing—bring them all back!"
At this mont, General Lu realized Lu Hong was talking to buy ti for the rebels’ escape.
