Chapter 646 Buried

Han Xuefei and Yun Zirou walked alongside Lu Yu toward the armored vehicle.

"To the cemetery? What are we doing there?" Han Xuefei inquired.

"Zirou will have to pay her respects to her parents and family. After all, this journey is likely to be lengthy."

"Second, I'd like to bury Jiang Ning..."

Lu Yu exhaled a long sigh.

Han Xuefei lowered her head in sadness. "We've suffered a huge loss in the ancient ruins."

"There's nothing we can do about it. The enemy is far too powerful, and we're not yet their match."

"Are we going to be burying Su Qing together? Her parents should still be waiting for her to return, right?"

Lu Yu's heart ached when Yun Zirou mentioned it.

"Su Qing... can remain in my pocket watch, and I will continue to look after her."

Yun Zirou leaned into the armored vehicle, saying with pain in her voice, "I hope that we don't lose any more of us."

"I assure you, we will not."

Lu Yu entered the armored vehicle, looked at Zhang Yi, and said, "We can leave. I'll go with you to the military headquarters, and then you can enter the ancient ruins to begin claiming territories."

Zhang Yi nodded slightly as he looked at Lu Yu. "Don't worry; the Truth Department will not enjoy having me as their enemy."

Lu Yu nodded and smiled. He then looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Let's go; we should set off."

Xu Yuan quickly exited the car and stood next to Lu Yu.

The armored fleet drove to where the portal was after that.

Lu Yu took out his phone after watching them leave.

"Let's go to the cemetery."

Lu Yu then dialed Wang Meng's number.

Xu Yuan nodded silently. He didn't ask many questions because he knew what Lu Yu would do at the cemetery.

Very quickly, Wang Meng picked up the call.

"Where are you?" Lu Yu asked

"I'm currently at Qin Yang's place. We're staying in a hotel near the portal."

"Go to a cemetery near the suburbs. I'll meet you there."

"All right, boss, I'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yu waved and hailed a taxi.

"All right, let's go..."

Jiang Lengyue approached Lu Yu as he was about to get into the taxi.

"Work harder when you're in the military, Lu Yu. The Freedom Federation's future is in your hands.

"Don't worry, Dean Jiang. I will not bring shame to our academy."

Lu Yu smiled as he climbed into the taxi and left the city, as Jiang Lengyue stood watching.

The taxi soon arrived in the suburbs.

When they arrived, Lu Yu and the other three exited the car and stood at the cemetery's entrance.

The entire cemetery was on a slope with steep steps. Each step had a neatly arranged row of tombstones.

"There is still room at the top. Let us bury them there."

"How are you going to bury her? We don't have any coffins." Xu Yuan approached Lu Yu and asked.

"I'm going to cremate and bury her in a tomb."

Lu Yu climbed the stairs and took up his pocket watch.

A figure appeared in front of Lu Yu as the watch glowed.

Jiang Ning materialized before them.

The last time Lu Yu saw her in the ancient ruins, she had been burned to death by the Undead Fire.

Fortunately, Lu Yu found her body.

Jiang Ning stood motionless, her eyes dull and lifeless. Her hands were dangling stiffly by her sides.

"Let's bury her right here. What a pity; she was such a remarkable young lady."

As he spoke, Lu Yu's right claw transformed into his Explosive Dragon Claw. His dragon scales glowed with dancing flames on his arm.

Whom!

A massive fireball erupted and engulfed Jiang Ning's body.

Jiang Ning was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.

The ashes floated like a thin veil, controlled by Han Xuefei's telekinesis. It flew through the air before landing in the grave.

"It's all over now..."

Everyone stood silently in front of the gravestone, heads bowed.

"What about Su Qing?" Han Xuefei asked. "Will you bury her here as well?"

Lu Yu shook his head and pondered for some time. "No, she'll stay in my pocket watch."

Han Xuefei was a little curious. "Isn't she dead, too? Why are you keeping her?"

"There's a reason for that. After she died, her body began to take on new characteristics, and something seemed to be happening. Let us not act hastily."

Han Xuefei was intrigued. "What sort of characteristics? Is it possible that she has a chance to be resurrected? Isn't that impossible?"

"I'm not sure, but maybe it's possible. There is a faint light emanating from her heart, which should be related to her light elemental talent."

"If that's the case, we should proceed with caution."

Xu Yuan added, "We don't yet know what the Undead Fire can do, as it's quite a strange skill."

Lu Yu nodded. "Yes, there are some things I do not understand about the Undead Fire. I also hope Su Qing can be resurrected, but the chances are slim."

Lu Yu remembered the night when they fled the Truth Department's headquarters. He remembered noticing the faint light coming from Su Qing's chest.

Lu Yu had yet to learn what the light meant.

Suddenly, Lu Yu and the others looked at the cemetery's entrance. They saw Wang Meng was already there, and he had walked in.

Qin Yang also followed him in.

Wang Meng quickly walked up the stairs and came to Lu Yu.

"Brother, I'm here. Jiang Ning..."

"She's already been laid to rest."

"Are we having a funeral?"

Wang Meng inquired.

Lu Yu shook his head slightly. "That isn't necessary. The clock is ticking. Jiang Ning is an orphan, so she doesn't have a family to inform. This is why we buried her right here."

"At the very least, we can pay her a visit during the holidays..."

Wang Meng shook his head, embarrassed. "I apologize for being late."

Lu Yu didn't take it to heart. "It's fine. Let's continue with our plan."

"Lu Yu, are we going back to the ancient ruins or back to Clanorth University?" Wang Meng asked.

"None of them. We are going to the military headquarters. Do you want to come?"

Wang Meng immediately nodded. "Of course. I'm happy to be able to join the military!"

"That's great. We'll set off together to the military headquarters."

"I see you have a new arm?" Lu Yu turned and asked Qin Yang.

Qin Yang raised and moved his right arm slightly.

"How does it look? It's an upgraded version, so its strength and speed should have both been significantly increased."

"I see. You should return to your place to make plans. I currently don't have the time to aid you in destroying the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce".
