Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 153: An Unreliable Plan (16)

When Lu Shu shouted loudly, his voice reverberated throughout the entire core of the remain but no one knew what exactly was happening.

Even if he asked specifically if the spy wanted to steal the relic, most people would doubt it. After all, even the class C expert ran into problems when he sent his sword down to explore. Apart from Li Yixiao, probably no one had the ability to obtain the relic.

But no one expected that at this moment, this heavenly king Li Yixiao actually made his move without any hesitation and without holding back at all!

Everyone knew that Li Yixiao was a heavenly king but they had a deeper impression of him as a person running everywhere with two trees in his arms. Even the higher management of the heavenly network had trouble seeing him as a legitimate heavenly king…

Moreover, everyone including the higher management of the heavenly network had heard of his antics as the principal of daoyuan.

Everyone knew he was a class B, but not many people knew exactly how powerful he was. The abilities of the eight heavenly kings in the country were kept hidden and those who knew their abilities were merely a handful of people who had battled them before.

So logically, these daoyuan students who had only started training for a few months didn’t have much information and had absolutely no idea how immensely powerful this fatty was…

Just as the spy was about to jump in, Li Yixiao arrived. The spy had no time to react as Li Yixiao sent a palm towards the spy’s chest.

It wasn’t an extremely powerful palm but a tiger-like mark appeared behind his back. Immediately after, the spy’s bones started cracking for three seconds before falling headfirst into the pothole.

He was definitely dead.

Everyone watched silently by the side. Everything happened too quickly and their minds had yet to finish processing what had just happened. Li Yixiao was really too quick!

From the moment the spy wanted to cast a protection spell to the moment Li Yixiao arrived at his side, the spy didn’t even complete a tenth of what he planned to do before he died.

This fatty was actually so powerful!

Li Yixiao stood coldly at the edge of the pothole and said, “This is a spy. I said to rest today. I said to go down tomorrow morning with the motive of luring these spies out to brave the dangers below first. Who knew there really were spies lurking amongst us. It’s alright, let them brave the dangers first.”

Everyone was enlightened at that point in time. So this was why, that’s impressive!

Lu Shu continued pondering. The heavenly network was still telling everyone not to go near the pothole in the afternoon in fear of potential dangers, and they even established a five-meter radius ban on the pothole. There would definitely be a problem if anyone went near it, so under these circumstances, Li Yixiao wanted to lure the spies out and to kill them coldly.

This guy actually thought about intricate details amid all his bruteness… but looking at his rare heroic moment, Lu Shu was rather doubtful…

“Shouldn’t you leave him alive to interrogate him?” Lu Shu asked curiously.

“From Li Yixiao’s distress, +333…”

Lu Shu’s face turned black. Did these distress points mean that Li Yixiao regretted his actions?!

Your intelligent plan was probably an act then? Li Yixiao obviously did not know who was a spy from the start, and he judged purely based on the other party’s behavior.

Under these circumstances, wouldn’t you keep the spy alive to ask if he had other accomplices or something along those lines? Perhaps the other party might not say it but… that wasn’t the issue here. Li Yixiao didn’t even take a chance to see if he might leak out some information.

What if that spy wasn’t very committed and would crumble upon interrogation, he didn’t have such a chance…

Li Yixiao glanced at Lu Shu and ignored his question. He then turned towards Zhong Yutang and said, “Gather the men. Apart from those who can battle, all the daoyuan students stay behind. Those members of heavenly network without a weapon stay behind too. It would be difficult to handle the ghosts without any weapons or instruments. You guys stay behind to protect the students, we can’t let anything happen to them anymore. After this, do a check to see who’s missing from the heavenly network.”

Zhong Yutang, who had been more stable all along, looked at Li Yixiao, “Alright, I’ll stay but heavenly king Li, could you maybe discuss your plans with me in future?”

Your plan was definitely unreliable, weren’t you sleeping a while ago!?

Zhong Yutang acted quickly and in no time, all the members of the heavenly network had gathered. Those without weapons stayed while those with weapons followed Li Yixiao down. Jiang Shuyi, Cao Qingci, and Lu Shu were all amongst the people who were going down… And the three of them had far more weapons than the average member of the heavenly network, with Lu Shu having the most…

But even if Lu Shu was carrying four spears, Zhong Yutang didn’t make him give up his spear to him. Firstly, he didn’t want to rob a student of his hard work and secondly, he knew that Lu Shu’s spear throwing ability was as impressive as what Liu Xuanyu had mentioned and the more spears he had with him, the better.

Although Zhong Yutang didn’t particularly enjoy Lu Shu’s appearance with numerous gold chains and watches, he quite liked this student.

His identity as a normal civilian meant he had no airs of a rich kid. He was independent, brave and competent. Zhong Yutang looked forward to Lu Shu having an influence in the heavenly network in future. Even if he didn’t awaken anymore, he could still be someone of decent importance within the organization.

Although Li Yixiao was the heavenly king looking over the entire Yuzhou, he wasn’t the least worried about smaller matters. He didn’t even care about the deployment of manpower and enjoyed his designation as a principal.

And prior to Li Yixiao’s arrival, all issues of the heavenly network in Yuzhou were handled by Zhong Yutang. It was fair to say that he had a huge role to play within the heavenly network.

Nie Ting used his men wisely, and the mature and stable Zhong Yutang fitted this role.

After Zhong Yutang assigned everyone to their roles, he made a statement, “This journey would be a dangerous one for all of you. Remember to take care of your own well-being before considering the relic. The peace and future of Yuzhou would depend greatly on everyone’s unity.”

Zhong Yutang then decided that he should add in one more line, “Heavenly king Li’s ability is much greater than everyone. Sometimes places he could go… could be out of reach to you. So everyone please be more careful during this operation. Think wisely before any action, and think hard when you encounter anything.”

Li Yixiao wasn’t very happy with this guy’s speech. His own words were less classy and found it weird listening to others…

Are you claiming that I, Li Yixiao, don’t use my brain?!
