Chapter 634 Arriving Cloud City

Lu Yu and the others stood before the portal, ready to leave.

They needed to get away from here, at least for the moment. They had to leave to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of their unpreparedness.

However, Lu Yu was hesitant because he didn’t know where this portal led, and it was most definitely not the upper house. The exit might have led them to a place other than the Freedom Federation. It could be the Lionheart Empire or the Stellaris Autonomous Zone.

“How about we go in first?” Lu Yu suggested this to Xu Yuan. “We’ll organize our people to come over when we confirm there are no problems.”

“That’s for the best,” Xu Yuan said, nodding. “Let’s go there and investigate first before doing anything. We might have to return to our original stronghold and open another portal if what’s over this portal is too dangerous.”

Lu Yu looked at the portal and began to walk slowly toward it.

“We’ll be heading into this portal on our own. We’ll gather everyone else over once we’ve confirmed there’s no danger. We’ll leave these mines alone for the time being and wait for the main forces of the Freedom Federation to arrive; only then will we be able to stand up to our enemy!”

Everyone agreed with Lu Yu’s words.

They had just escaped death, and they knew the dragon’s might. They could never defeat the enemy alone; they were no match for the dragon and would all perish if they dared fight it.

“All right, follow me into the portal!”

Lu Yu took the initiative and led the way to the portal.

He soon walked into the portal and vanished.

Xu Yuan trailed close behind Lu Yu.

“From now on, we must accelerate our operations.”

As he entered the portal, Xu Yuan said.

Whoosh!

Xu Yuan crossed the portal.

The walkie-talkie of Han Xuefei rang, followed by the voice of Lu Yu.

“Come on over. For the time being, there is no danger here. We will continue to observe the situation.”

Han Xuefei walked toward the portal after putting away her walkie-talkie. She walked slowly and passed through the portal.

Yun Zirou and Wang Meng followed.

A gleaming teleportation gate was suspended in mid-air in a dark alley, and figures emerged from it.

Lu Yu and his team passed through the portal and returned to their original world.

Lu Yu raised his head and looked around him, noticing the tall buildings surrounding him on all sides. It was clear that they were in a developed city. Many such cities were in the Freedom Federation and the Stellaris Autonomous Zone, and they were almost certainly within one of these two countries.

“Can you tell where this is?” Han Xuefei took a look around and inquired.

“I’m not sure. It should be a city. How about we go out and ask someone?”

Lu Yu said this as he walked down the narrow alley with his teammates close behind.

Lu Yu darted out of the alley and stood by the busy road.

Lu Yu finally relaxed as he looked at the cars on the road.

He was finally back in the human world and felt much more at ease.

A passerby came over at this precise moment, and Lu Yu rushed up to stop him.

“Hey, I’d like to know the name of this city.”

“Are you serious?” The man chuckled. “You’re already in the city center and have no idea what the city’s name is?”

He shook his head, thinking Lu Yu was playing a joke on him.

However, when he turned to look at Lu Yu the next moment, he was stunned.

“Wait, are you Lu Yu?”

After hearing this, Lu Yu was stunned momentarily before realizing he was unquestionably in the Freedom Federation. His name was known mainly to the Freedom Federation.

Perhaps people in the Lionheart Empire and Stellaris had heard of him, but not until a random passerby recognized him.

“It looks like this is the Freedom Federation. What city exactly is this?”

“Lu Yu, you… have you lost your memory?” The bystander asked. “How could you know nothing?”

Yun Zirou approached Lu Yu and said, “I know which city this is. This is where I grew up.”

“Is this Cloud City?” Lu Yu inquired.

Yun Zirou nodded and replied, “That’s correct; we’re in Cloud City, which is not far from Ixdale. We’re fortunate.”

“Great, we can bring our people back.”

At this point, the passerby exclaimed, “You’re the Yun family’s heiress, Yun Zzirou?”

“That’s right, it’s me,” Yun Zirou answered casually.

However, the bystander let out a long sigh and turned to leave.

“Such a shame. The original number one family in Cloud City…”

As he walked away, he sighed.

Yun Zirou stood rooted to the ground, speechless. She had no idea what the man was referring to.

“What exactly is he saying? What does he mean?”

Lu Yu didn’t seem to mind. “You go back and tell the team members it’s safe here. Inform them that they can come over,” he told Wang Meng.

Wang Meng nodded. “Not a problem. I’ll return now.”

Lu Yu looked at Xu Yuan and said, “Contact the military and tell them there’s a portal here that leads directly to the mines. We can’t fight the Truth Department without their help.”

Xu Yuan nodded as he heard this. “Alright, I’ll report the situation to the military headquarters right now. Wait for me. Reporting the situation, holding meetings, discussing plans, and starting an operation of this scale take significant time.”

Xu Yuan took out a teleportation scroll, opened it, and teleported away.

Only Lu Yu, Yun Zirou, and Han Xuefei remained.

Yun Zirou frowned as she took out her phone and connected to the internet. She checked the news headlines in Cloud City.

“This… This is impossible!”

“The Yun family of Cloud City was wiped out after their family went bankrupt. The Yuan family has ascended to the throne as Cloud City’s most powerful family!”

Yun Zirou’s words surprised Lu Yu. He quickly leaned over and looked at the screen of Yun Zirou’s phone.

“How is this possible? How could this happen?” After reading the news report about the Yun family’s bankruptcy, Lu Yu was shocked.

Yun Zirou stood motionless for a long time before shaking her head. “That is not possible. This has to be a hoax. It must be a media company attempting to spread false information!”

“Make a quick call and find out what’s going on.”

Yun Zirou grabbed her phone and dialed her father’s number.

She dialed his father’s number, but no one answered. She dialed his mother’s number but could not get through. She then dialed her relatives’ numbers but was also greeted by silence.

Yun Zirou stood rooted to the ground, feeling uneasy.

“It… It appears the news is telling the truth.”
