The meat of the Thunder Roc was extremely tender, and more importantly, it could enhance cultivation. This was the flesh of a half-step Great Sage, and some cultivators broke through directly after consuming it.
Even after Lu Fan and the others finished eating, their auras became full of power. Perhaps this was the true medicine, far more terrifying than any immortal elixirs. Just by consuming it, one could directly improve their cultivation, which seemed incredibly potent.
Throughout Wuyou City, people were breaking through one after another. Everyone scrambled to eat the delicious Thunder Roc meat to improve their cultivation. More importantly, the Thunder Roc meat was extremely pure, and there were no side effects after consumption, which was a godsend for them.
Watching everyone rush forward, Lu Fan was also quite excited. This was what they wanted. They had to be this strong against other alien races. Only then would they know how to resist when bullied, otherwise, they would only continue to be downtrodden and bullied.
Lu Fan did not wish to see such a situation, especially among his own people.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Qingqing also walked over. "It seems that after consuming the Thunder Roc meat, the strength of the entire Wuyou City will improve significantly. I didn't expect the meat of the beast race to have such great spiritual energy!"
"This is no ordinary beast; it was a Great Sage-level expert!"
Lu Fan stated, "So, under normal circumstances, there will be no problems!"
Ouyang Qingqing nodded slightly, agreeing with his words.
The old city lord slumped to the ground, his heart filled with worry and even a hint of fear. He knew very well that once things escalated, they would be beyond control.
"Esteemed experts, since you have eaten the beast race's meat and even annihilated the Tiger clan, could you stay here for a few more days? So that I may host you!" the old city lord said with a smile, walking towards Lu Fan with a serious look in his eyes.
"I don't think you want to host us; you're just afraid of the beast race's retribution and want us to stay here to defend the city!" Ouyang Qingqing shrugged. "You're truly cunning, thinking of everything!"
"This old man is also helpless; otherwise, I wouldn't have resorted to this," the old city lord said helplessly. "If it weren't for the sake of all the city's residents, I wouldn't have done this, nor would I have compromised with the beast race. But now that things have come to this, it seems this is the only way!"
"Don't worry, since I'm the one who caused this, I will take responsibility to the end!" Lu Fan shrugged. "I will stay in Wuyou City for a few days to see how the beast race intends to proceed!"
"In that case, I thank you on behalf of the many residents of Wuyou City!" the old city lord quickly clasped his hands, his eyes looking very serious. He knew very well that if this matter was not handled properly and the beast race was displeased, it would be a great disaster.
"How can this be?"
Ouyang Qingqing shook her head. "Have you forgotten that you need to return to Zhongzhou Academy to receive your inheritance? You can't miss this opportunity, or it will be a loss outweighing the gain!"
"It's fine; I can accept the inheritance anytime. But if the beast race truly attacks, the entire Wuyou City will become a purgatory!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Therefore, it is only natural for me to defend Wuyou City, as I created this situation, and I must provide an explanation!"
The old city lord looked relieved. With Lu Fan's words, he felt much more at ease and no longer had to worry too much.
Lu Fan and the others were capable of dealing with the Tiger clan, so their strength must be extraordinary. This was indeed fortunate for them.
The entire Wuyou City was quite lively today. Lu Fan had brought the Thunder Roc meat, allowing everyone to feast to their heart's content. They now felt that if the beast race dared to come, they would send them back without return.
Meanwhile, Lu Fan, Ouyang Qingqing, and the others also settled down, residing in the City Lord's Mansion. Since the old city lord had personally invited them, they naturally had to fulfill his requests.
As night deepened, everyone discovered that Wuyou City was brightly lit. The giant Thunder Roc was still being fried in large pots, and spiritual energy permeated the entire city.
Lu Fan and the others sat on the city wall, gazing at the vast starry sky, lost in thought. Now, each of them was an unparalleled expert. They felt a sense of responsibility to protect humanity. As for families and the like, their scope seemed too small.
"I used to think that the Assassin Dynasty and the Ancient Desolate Aristocratic Families were opposing forces. Now I realize my perspective was too narrow!" Hu Yu said with a wry smile. "It's just that everyone has different positions. The true enemies are between races, because if one race is at a disadvantage, the other might annihilate them completely."
"That's right, I feel the same way!" The young master of the Tao family nodded. "Shouldering the mission of humanity is what we should do! At least we must do this, and never allow our own people to be harmed!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly at these words. "I agree with your thoughts, and with me here, Wuyou City will never be breached!"
Everyone else also nodded. Lu Fan's thoughts were their thoughts as well. At least, in their opinion, this was inevitable.
As they were talking, many people had already arrived on the city wall. These were all men who clasped their fists towards Lu Fan. "Thank you, seniors, for bestowing us with the beast race's meat. After receiving your kindness, we will surely protect humanity well and will no longer allow the beast race to bully us!"
"I am relieved by your words!" Lu Fan nodded. "Only with countless like us can humanity survive longer. Otherwise, being constantly bullied by the beast race is a great humiliation for us, and it could even lead to a crisis between races. Such a thing is absolutely unacceptable!"
"That's right, we must unite and fight against the beast race together to protect the safety of humanity!" Ouyang Qingqing nodded. "Although your cultivation is not strong now, as long as you have this spirit, you will surely grow in the future and make the beast race fear you!"
Everyone present nodded, feeling deeply touched. If Lu Fan and the others had not arrived, they might not have understood these things and would have continued to be bullied by the beast race, perhaps not even daring to retaliate.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go about your business!" Lu Fan said. "I will be on this city wall, observing the movements of the beast race. If any experts come, I will notify you immediately. You don't need to worry so much!"
Seeing this, everyone nodded slightly and didn't say much more.
