Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 634: Punishment

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Nie Ting went silent on the call, Lu Shu knew his plan was unreasonable. Actually he was also aware that as the leader of the Heavenly Network, Nie Ting would do his best not to confront the Puppet Master, a mid-Class A, anywhere close to the cities. This was out of consideration for the greater good.

It was not because Nie Ting was scared, nor because he had no confidence in defeating the Puppet Master. Instead, countless innocent lives might be lost during the fight of two or more Class A’s.

The main difference between the Heavenly Network and many practitioners organizations was that the latter aimed mainly for their own international influence and cultivation resources whereas the former played more of a guardian’s role.

Nie Ting would view himself as unworthy as the leader of the Network if he fought the Puppet Master at Luo City and put everything else at stake.

Lu Shu understood his stance. Just like that analogy, when a Class A, now situated in the city center, could only be destroyed by a nuclear bomb, would you still press that button?

Therefore, the Heavenly Network had adopted an alternative measure. The newly constructed inn that belonged to Lu Shu had been fully occupied by members of the Heavenly Network because they did not dare to stay in Li Yixiao’s inn... What was its name again?

Back then, the Heavenly Network decided not to monitor Li Yixiao because experts were very sensitive to being watched. It was like their sixth sense after they had achieved resonance with the heaven and earth. Hence, it was possible that the Puppet Master Cloud Yi might go on a killing spree if she noticed she was under surveillance. The Heavenly Network had always been extremely prudent and careful when dealing with their enemies. They watched their distance and never underestimated their opponents, let alone the fact that the Puppet Masters had proven themselves to be rather cunning.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Network had to know the movement of their enemies. That was why Lu Shu’s inn was chosen. All of them hid inside the inn and all communication was conducted with paper and pens. Even surveillance footage were played 15 seconds late, out of the fear that the Puppet Master might notice anything unusual if they were live.

On the afternoon of the same day, Chen Baili also rushed to Luo City and secretly settled down in Luo Shen Cultivation College.

Although the country’s borders were important too, there had been an improvement in the border management recently. Moreover, the newly ascended Class B, An Sheng, could also replace Chen Baili to guard the Southern Tibetan border temporarily.

That showed the significance of a big talent pool. The Heavenly Network would not even be able to find replacements in urgent times if talents were not produced at a fast enough rate.

Due to Cloud Yi’s arrival, Nie Ting decided to send Lu Shu overseas at once, instead of three days later. So long as Lu Shu was not in the country, the Puppet Master probably would not want to make more enemies right after the confrontation with the Saint.

They would not act rashly if their target, Lu Shu, was not in the country.

Truth be told, Lu Shu did not feel good at all. He was supposed to be going overseas to cause other people trouble, but now it seemed as if he had fled abroad...

But he had a question, how long had Cloud Yi stayed in China? It did not seem like a short stay, but what was she up to? As a Class A, she did not have to take orders from anyone in the world. So why was she so loyal to somebody?

Moreover, she wanted to kill the Small White Fish when she learned about its betrayal, and it appeared that the only task they had been doing was drawing in former subordinates for their master.

But why were all the former subordinates in the remains? Lu Shu believed it had to be related to the Ancient Yi clan, and... it might be associated with the origin of the Spirit Qi regeneration.

Having packed up his stuff, Lu Shu immediately headed to Luo City Train Station to meet up with the group of secret practitioners. He had changed into Li Teng’s appearance. According to the plan, they would fly to Russia and execute the mission under the name of medical exchange.

From Russian practitioners organizations, they would extend all the way into Europe. Most importantly, they had to circumvent the territory of the Department of Faith Theory. Currently, the Department was an ambitious organization eager for expansion. The Heavenly Network’s hope to seek European allies also served to thwart their development.

Eventually, this so-called medical exchange group would arrive in Sweden and form an alliance with the Deities...

When Lu Shu heard about that, he knew Nie Ting must have been lying about his role in the mission. Apparently, Nie Ting wanted to utilize Lu Shu’s connection with Coral, not some secret protector of the group...

The Puppet Master had gone out again before Lu Shu left. This time, she went to the downtown area. To everyone’s surprise, she went grocery shopping in a supermarket, followed by a movie and a steamboat meal at a Quanzhou restaurant...

All of the Heavenly Network members, including Lu Shu, were rendered speechless. She seemed just like any normal human being...

Lu Shu went for a walk in the village head’s strawberry farm before he left. He stole all the strawberries as his snacks during his trip. Nalan Que said that the village head always threw his construction garbage at the doorstep of their inn at midnight. What a scoundrel!

Afterwards, Lu Shu took out the red paint which had made significant contributions in the Collection of Gods, and wrote a gigantic “REMOVE” on the wall of the newly constructed inn...

When the village head came to check on the progress of construction, he was totally dumbstruck. Who the heck did this?!

Then his wife rushed over, reporting that all the strawberries were gone...

At this moment, the village head immediately knew who was behind it. He led a group of people and walked towards Lu Shu’s inn, each holding a steel pipe from the construction site. This was a piece of advice he was taught. No Daoyuan Class student could get away with beating up villagers for no reason. Send someone to film the happenings in secret and upload the video online once the student used violence. Then, the student would be punished by public comments and he would never dare to do it again!

The group of people rushed towards the inn aggressively. However, the main gate was close and it was completely quiet inside. In fury, the village head’s son kicked the door open.

In the next instant, a clang pierced through the silence. They saw a group of Heavenly Network members inside the inn, holding their swords in their hands, ready to attack...

All of them were speechless. They thought it was the Puppet Master who had returned from the steamboat restaurant!

The leader asked, his face darkened, “What are you doing here?”

The village head’s son looked at the steel pipe in his hands and asked, “Brothers, wanna see a pole dance?”

“From Liu Weidong’s distress, +999!”

“From...”

At this moment, the village head suddenly understood that that boy had purposely tricked them because the Heavenly Network was here!

How freaking despicable!

Meanwhile, Lu Shu had already reached the train station. Based on the time... the village head must have already been punished by then. The Puppet Master was still at the steamboat restaurant and had yet to return to the inn. So perhaps the village head’s family had finally learned their lesson this time...
