Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 1207: Fortress in the Clouds

Lu Kongming did not expect Lu Shu to get a horse for him. By logic, a human would definitely steal another person. However, the young man in front of him had a unique train of thought...

Lu Shu smiled happily. “In the past, you had to suck up to others. Now, others have to suck up to you, aren’t you happy?”

Lu Kongming looked at the Blazing Cloud Foals. “Are you a demon?”

He had really “suck up to” Lu Shu!

“From Lu Kongming’s distress, +666!”

“What do you think? Whose body do you want to steal?” Lu Shu was unhappy. “It’s good enough to have a horse. Do you want it? If not, you haven’t reached the stage of extreme exhaustion that you have described to be!”

This argument was common. For example, if one was picky, one was not hungry enough...

Therefore, did Lu Shu purposely take a horse out to disgust Lu Kongming? Lu Shu would definitely not admit it.

In his opinion, he was testing if Lu Kongming had really exhausted almost all his strength!

“Can we discuss this further?” Lu Kongming was trying very hard to turn his fate around...

Lu Shu was impatient. “The most I will do is to change a horse for you. Deal with it yourself.”

Lu Kongming had never stolen a body apart from that of a human’s. Or else, he would have definitely stolen a body of a creature who ran into that cave in the past hundreds of years.

However, he realized after advancing to the master realm, that there was a huge difference between a human and a creature. If he had rashly stolen the body of a creature, he would probably never get the chance of returning to the master realm again!

Now, it was his only chance. He did not lie to Lu Shu, he knew that he had exhausted almost all his strength. The previous time when he stole the body of the helicopter pilot, he had spent too much energy but still failed in the end.

He could barely do anything now. If he gave up this opportunity, he would probably have no more opportunities left.

“Hurry up, without you, I can still look for other clan masters to bring me to Bulao City,” rushed Lu Shu.

Lu Kongming made up his mind. “Alright, I will take this horse!”

To him, even if he was unable to get his human body temporarily after stealing the body of the horse, there was a chance for him to return to his human form if he attained the master realm in the future. He still had a chance!

Lu Shu felt a small amount of energy leave from his body and entered the skull of the Blazing Cloud Foals. Then, the gaze of the Blazing Cloud Foals became more alive.

“Did it succeed?” Lu Shu asked curiously. “If so, say something.”

“Free me after we reach Bulao City!” said the Blazing Cloud Foals.

Lu Shu understood that it was a success. He said after a while, “Look, I won’t dare to release you as you may cause disruption to the rest of the world. I won’t be able to catch you if you left with this skill. After all, it will be really difficult to find you if you change your look and name. However, if you bring me to Bulao City, I will give you a present!”

Lu Kongming regretted it. If he had known that he would become public enemy number one because of this skill, he would not have spent so much effort on practising it.

In reality, the Lord of Heaven probably had the same concern as Lu Shu. One could not grant Lu Kongming freedom as he would probably become the longest-living creature on earth. When everyone died because of their age, Lu Kongming could continue to live on and nobody would be able to find him as he had changed his entire body.

Perhaps, Lu Shu was the only one who could find Lu Kongming as he could confirm his identity through his name. However, that would be extremely troublesome.

“What present will you give me?” asked Lu Kongming.

“Rest assured, you will like it,” affirmed Lu Shu, “Now, tell me, where’s Bulao City?”

“In the sky!” said Lu Kongming.

Lu Shu looked into the empty sky before looking at the Blazing Cloud Foals Lu Kongming. “Are you sure?”

“Yes,” said Lu Kongming firmly, “Although I only saw the outline of Bulao City, it is definitely in the sky, in the clouds.”

Lu Shu frowned. It was indeed hidden in the sky. No wonder, nobody knew about the secret of Bulao City. There was lightning in the sky and nobody could fly around casually. Therefore, it was difficult for one to find out where Bulao City was.

Meanwhile, Miao Miao was able to enter the forbidden land freely. Could it be that he was unafraid of lightning like Coral and hence could live in the sky? That was highly likely!

“Where is the approximate location?” asked Lu Shu.

Lu Kongming confirmed the direction and said, “800 miles to the East!”

“Let’s go.” Lu Shu walked in front. He was extremely interested in Bulao City.

Chen Zuan suddenly said in happiness along the way, “Brother Shu, did you realize?”

“Hmm?” Lu Shu turned and looked at him.

“Do you think that our team lacks something?” said Chen Zuan happily.

Lu Shu felt that Chen Zuan was a little strange, “What do we lack?”

“We lack Sha Wujing[1]...” said Chen Zuan.

“Are you planning to go the West to obtain sacred texts[2]?” said Lu Shu angrily.

Coral was Tang Seng, Lu Shu was the Monkey King, Chen Zuan was Zhu Bajie and they had a low quality white horse. Now, they were only lacking Cheng Qiuqiao... They wondered how Cheng Qiuqiao was doing...

Lu Xiaoyu too. Lu Shu was confused. He had attempted to contact Lu Xiaoyu with a clone but failed as the other party refused to reveal his clone. Why was this so?

“Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, wait for me!” Cheng Qiuqiao shouted, “Are we not looking for Brother Shu?”

“No, Lu Shu is probably in Luchen City.” Lu Xiaoyu walked casually in front. “The news reported that he made several strange announcements in Tonghuan City and Qixian City. Although we don’t know what he is up to, he is definitely sabotaging the group of foreign practitioners.”

Cheng Qiuqiao exclaimed, “Xiaoyu, you really understand Brother Shu... Where are we heading to?”

Lu Xiaoyu suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky. “Here. The soul of the clan master of the Tonghuan Clan has been completely digested by me. Meanwhile, the fortress hidden in the sky is the most mysterious place in this remains.”

“There’s a fortress up there?” Cheng Qiuqiao asked in astonishment, “In the sky? Why are we looking for that?”

Lu Xiaoyu said calmly, “I took this punishment for him.”

“Xiaoyu, what are you talking about?” asked Cheng Qiuqiao.

However, Lu Xiaoyu did not reply to him. At this moment Cheng Qiuqiao suddenly realized that the ground was being lifted. Lu Xiaoyu did not use her flying ability but instead made Anthony build a mountain that rose to the sky! It was windy and the clouds seemed to be in their reach!

There was no lightning. This method did not trigger any restrictions from the sky!

Miao Miao, who was in Luchen City, looked towards the direction of Bulao City and coldly said, “Who dares to intrude Bulao City?!”

After he said that, the mysterious young man sped towards Bulao City!
