Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 1232: Holder of the Relic

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Xin Ting could be said to be the first relic. It had been discovered by the Heavenly Network during the dawn of the magically rich era. Furthermore, the remains had been fully explored.

Back then, the Heavenly Network suffered many injuries. They did not expect the remains to be so dangerous. They did not have experience dealing with the remains either.

Under typical circumstances, the Heavenly Network would send their elite troops to explore the remains. But the Practitioners had been randomly chosen to enter the remains, putting Nie Ting and the rest at risk.

Thankfully, Nie Ting was strong enough. If not, many more people might have died in the remains.

The northwest remains had opened earlier than the Laos remains. Would the first remains possess more secrets?

It was a pity that Cao Qingci had gone to the Luniverse when the space pathway opened. He could not find the Xin Ting, even if he wanted to.

After the space pathway opened for the first time, Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan waited at the construction site of the Longmen Fortress. But according to them, Cao Qingci was more ferocious. She had been waiting at the entrance of the space pathway.

After the space pathway opened, Cao Qingci never appeared again. Her corpse was never discovered. It was highly likely that she had disguised herself in the Luniverse.

This was how the conclusion that Cao Qingci was probably in the Luniverse came about.

This lady studied under Nie Ting and became an assassin. Infiltration was her specialty. It was possible that many Black Feather Army soldiers had not realized anything strange about her.

Lu Shu realized that the secrets hidden in the world of the remains mostly had something to do with the Luniverse. Lu Shu even wanted to obtain all the relics and enter the remains to explore.

He suspected that the remains were part of the celestial map that belonged to the old King of Gods. He did not know when the old King of Gods had started to piece these together. He had incorporated a lot of his style into the remains.

But now, Lu Shu could not separate the celestial map from his body. If he forcefully did so, it would affect his cultivation realm.

The source of Lu Shu’s strength was the celestial map. If he forcefully separated the celestial map from his body, his class would definitely drop. Even if it was not a big drop, he would definitely become weak, right?

Thus... had someone taken action while the old King of Gods was busy with the remains?

Lu Shu did not eliminate this possibility, but he could not be sure either.

At that moment, Lu Shu was preparing to bid goodbye to Chen Baili. He had to go and find Zhong Yutang. After all, it was better to make use of the Heavenly Network’s information network instead of blindly finding the relic. If he wanted to collect the relics, he needed the help of the Heavenly Network.

As he was about to leave, Chen Baili suddenly stopped Lu Shu. Lu Shu curiously said, “Is something the matter?”

Chen Baili paused. Then, he said, “Could you help Chen Zuan find a girlfriend?”

Lu Shu was silent.

Chen Baili had no desire for fame and wealth, but his generation viewed blood ties as very important. Many young people now did not understand the actions of maintaining ancestral graves or sacrifice to their ancestors. But the older generation was different. They believed that after their death, they would face successive generations of ancestors. They also saw it as their personal responsibility to bring honor to their family.

Thus, Chen Baili did not have a car or a house, but this did not mean that he did not have any ambitions.

But there was a problem. If he wanted Chen Zuan to establish another family branch, he needed a wife to continue the family line. If Chen Zuan did not even have a girlfriend, would he be able to have a wife?

“I want to help, but I can’t.” Lu Shu did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “He is single because of his skills...”

“Then what should we do?” Chen Baili was troubled. A good plan had been stopped by a minor trouble.

Lu Shu paused for two seconds. He looked at Chen Baili, who had regained his youthful vigor and now looked like a middle-aged man. “How about you do it?”

Chen Baili went into deep thought once again...

“Chen Baili’s distress value, +666!”

Lu Shu then ran away. He was worried that Chen Baili would turn his shame into anger. But when he found Zhong Yutang and explained the situation to him, Zhong Yutang was dumbfounded. “You want all the information on the holders of the relics? And where they are?”

Even an idiot would be able to figure out what Lu Shu was up to. Zhong Yutang silently mourned for the holders of the relics. Even if the Heavenly Network was very powerful, they had never thought about obtaining all the relics!

But Lu Shu was different. It was as if he was taking back what belonged to him. He did not need his memories, but he could not give up his possessions.

The only people who were able to reopen the world of the remains in the relics were Lu Shu, Nie Ting, and Shi Xuejin. Thus, the relics were mostly in their original state. There was worth in exploring the remains once again.

According to what Lu Shu knew, many protectors of the relics in the remains were not yet dead. The relics had mostly been taken with strategy and not with brute force. Thus, it was very likely that he would be able to obtain useful information.

Zhong Yutang checked the resources from the Heavenly Network. “We have information on 90% of the relic holders. After all, they are well-known.”

Zhong Yutang was right. Unless they had superb luck, which weak person would be able to take the relic? Thus, even if the Heavenly Network did not take the relic, they still had information on who had obtained it. Furthermore, they would pay attention if it had transferred ownership.

“Then let me ask you.” Zhong Yutang carefully asked, “What do you want to do with this information?”

Lu Shu said with awe-inspiring righteousness, “Treasures can bring misfortune to their owners. It is very dangerous for them to walk around with the relics. I am helping them to take care of the relics.”

Zhong Yutang thought about it. Being a Heavenly King was truly different. In the past, he did not find any reason. Now, he could come up with a highly dignified reason.

But at that moment, there was new information from the outside world. To Zhong Yutang’s shock, a problem had occurred!

Lu Shu looked at Zhong Yutang. He curiously asked, “What’s wrong?”

“The owners of the relics that we are able to find now... are all dead! The relics are missing!” Zhong Yutang exclaimed after taking a deep breath.

He did not expect that Lu Shu’s seemingly joke excuse had actually become true!

Zhong Yutang sighed with emotion. In the past, people who encountered Lu Shu got into trouble. Now, even the people who were targeted by Lu Shu had been harmed!

Lu Shu furrowed his eyebrows and said, “This was not a coincidence. It does not make sense for all the relic owners to be killed at the same time.”

“They did not occur at the same time. We are not sure exactly what time it happened. Although we have put in a lot of effort into overseas information, we cannot focus on all the important people around the clock.” Zhong Yutang explained, “But this is fishy. We have to find out who was behind this.”

“No need for that.” Lu Shu shook his head. “It’s impossible. Furthermore, I think I know who is behind this. It was probably the slave owners. I didn’t expect them to have this goal.”

Who else would be so interested in the relics and have the strength to kill all their owners? No one, except the people from the Luniverse.

“Has any relic not been stolen?” Lu Shu asked.

“We can still check one. It is the one that belongs to the Golden Foundation,” said Zhong Yutang.

Lu Shu sighed. In the end, he still had to face Li Xianyi. He had to face the resentment and dispute between the Golden Foundation, and the Puppet Masters and the old King of Gods.

Lu Shu had not looked for Li Xianyi since he returned. But in the end, he could not avoid him forever.
