1069 Exploding a Conspiracy
Liu Yan was not surprised to see Lu Dajiang’s furious appearance. After all, this involved the safety of the entire Team Origin, and even former teammates or even brothers couldn’t expect mercy.
“I’m afraid they’ve already reached the west city wall,” Liu Yan said indifferently.
When Lu Dajiang heard this, he did not say a word. Instead, he walked straight out of the wooden house and started to move.
Huang Yuan, Wei Feng, and the others promptly followed suit, with Liu Yan right behind them.
During the nighttime in the Origin Territory, there weren’t many team members on alert. This was a result of Liu Yan’s deliberate arrangement, as the Origin Territory already had guard towers.
These guard towers had a wide surveillance range, encompassing the entire Origin Territory and extending several dozen kilometers around. This expansive range far exceeded the typical perception capabilities of the Awakened.
With guard towers in place, the Origin Territory’s vigilance was already more than sufficient, and there was no need to deploy additional team members for security.
As a result, team members had ample time to focus on self-improvement, cultivation, and battles, ultimately enhancing their strength.
Perhaps the lax vigilance contributed to Wang Long and the others seizing an opportunity to escape. Nonetheless, this development was exactly what Liu Yan desired.
If Wang Long didn’t escape, how would Liu Yan have an opportunity to eliminate him?
If Wang Long remained in the Origin Territory, Liu Yan would continue to balance considerations related to Lu Dajiang and others’ reputations, keeping Wang Long within the territory.
This arrangement would involve keeping someone who did not belong to the Origin Territory within the territory and even allowing them to depart at some point in the future. No matter how Liu Yan considered it, the situation was quite disheartening.
Before long, Lu Dajiang arrived at the west city wall’s gate and discovered Wang Long and the others, who were about to make their escape. Liu Yan, Wei Feng, and the rest of the group arrived as well.
Lu Dajiang immediately produced his weapon, a massive Warhammer.
The Warhammer was colossal and weighty, equivalent to the size of two or three individuals.
Even the tall and robust Lu Dajiang appeared exceedingly diminutive in comparison to this colossal Warhammer.
Lu Dajiang blocked Wang Long and the others, his face wearing a grim expression. He said, “Wang Long, you and your comrades have quite the audacity, attempting to betray us.”
At first, Wang Long and his associates looked somewhat embarrassed after being halted. However, the past could not be altered, and Wang Long’s group could only confront the situation head-on.
Upon hearing Lu Dajiang’s question, Wang Long retorted with a degree of dissatisfaction, “Lu Dajiang? How can you label this as a betrayal? When you offered us a choice in the past, you were quite clear. Those who voluntarily joined the Origin Territory could do so alongside you. Those who wished not to join were free to abstain. We intended to chart our course, distinct from the Origin Territory. What’s all this talk of betrayal?”
Upon hearing Wang Long’s words, Lu Dajiang let out a cold snort. “You’re right. That’s what I stated back then. However, I’ve repeatedly emphasized the current state of the Origin Territory to you. You have to wait for some time. When the Origin Territory’s overall strength grows and is no longer afraid of the Lakon Territory, when the Origin Territory can fight head-on with the Lakon Territory, then I can let you leave! Before this, not only you, but any team members of the Origin Territory are also not allowed to leave without permission!”
“Why?”
Hearing this, Wang Long said angrily, “This was your Origin Territory’s matter. We weren’t from your Origin Territory. What right did you have to restrict our freedom and not let us leave? Besides, we used to be brothers. Did you still not trust us? Even if we left, it was better than leaking the coordinates of the Origin Territory to Lakon Planet!”
“Enough!”
Lu Dajiang said impatiently, “I had already emphasized this many times. This was not about trusting you but for absolute insurance. We couldn’t let anyone leave. After all, this matter involved the safety of all our members in the Origin Territory! Last time in the Hallucinatory Forest, you tried to leave. I had already emphasized it several times. I didn’t expect you to still want to escape. This time, I wouldn’t let you off easily!”
“What a joke!”
Wang Long laughed in anger and said, “Talking about trust? If you trusted us, wouldn’t you just let us leave? It’s a lack of trust, isn’t it? We stayed here to ensure the safety of your Origin Territory, but how has your Origin Territory treated us? You don’t even use the essence pool anymore, and you won’t let us join. What’s the reason for that?”
The few people besides Wang Long also agreed.
“That’s right. In the beginning, we could still stay in the Origin Territory on account of our brothers in the past, but how did you treat us?”
“Anyone could enter the essence pool. All of you entered, even your territory war beasts and pets entered. Why?”
“It was you who were heartless first. You couldn’t blame us for being unjust. If you didn’t let us enter the essence pool, it was fine if we left, right?”
“That’s right. If we stayed here and our strength couldn’t increase, of course, we had to leave and find another place to increase our strength!”
Liu Yan, who was not far away, heard this and said with a faint smile, “The reason for not allowing you to enter the essence pool was very simple. You weren’t from our Origin Territory. Only members of the Origin Territory could enter the essence pool! It was either you guys who stayed here or you were of great help to us. We had to give you feedback. Staying here was something you had to do! Since you said that you wanted to leave and find another place, then may I ask, which territory were you going to join? The Wind Barrier was filled with all kinds of dangers. Without the protection of a territory, danger could happen at any time. Didn’t you tell me that you were leaving the Origin Territory before you’d decided which territory to join, right?”
“Why must we stay in the Origin Territory?”
“That’s right. What were we competing for?”
“What did it have to do with you which territory we joined? Why should I tell you?”
“This was our freedom. What right did you have to restrict us?”
Seeing this, Liu Yan smiled faintly and said, “It wasn’t because I was stronger than you guys. Since you didn’t say who I was relying on, then I guessed it should have been Lakon Territory, right? Among the territories that you knew, I’m afraid that the only one that could do so was to join Lakon Territory, right? Using the information of the Origin Territory in exchange for a place to live on Lakon Territory, right?”
Hearing Liu Yan’s words, Wang Long and the others’ faces changed.
This was indeed their plan. They didn’t know any other territories.
They would go to territories they didn’t know. The other territories were all foreign races and might not accept humans.
They looked down on weak territories, and strong territories looked down on them.
Only Lakon Territory was their best choice.
Although the Lakonians came from a different planet than the Blue Planet people, the Lakonians were still humans after all, so they were similar to them.
