Lu Shu subconsciously rubbed his hands. “How far away are they?”
“They’re two kilometers away. Over 3000 people from the Phoenix Society have come, but there are not many people from the Deities. There are only over 200 of them,” said Cheng Qiuqiao. “She has stayed at the Changbai Mountains for over a year. Two relics have opened during that period, but she did not take part. I didn’t expect her to suddenly leave the Changbai Mountains…”
What Cheng Qiuqiao meant was that she was here for Lu Shu…
“You talk too much.” Lu Shu looked at Cheng Qiuqiao with an unkind expression on his face.
To be honest, Lu Shu’s feelings towards Coral were very complex. They had not thought about how they would treat each other when they met each other again.
That wedding was like a scene that was only suitable to appear in their memories. Once they woke up from their dream, they should go their separate ways.
But both of them could not differentiate whether it had been a dream or a reality.
Lu Shu sat by the bonfire and pondered. Suddenly, there was some commotion in the campsite. It was as if an outsider had come. Lu Shu nervously looked at the source of the commotion, but met with unfamiliar faces.
Lu Shu and the rest had not noticed these newcomers. This campsite had a good geographical position. Backpackers would also choose this place to set up camp. Thus, it was normal for new people to come.
But to their surprise, these outsiders seemed to be rather well-known among the secret practitioners. There were just over ten of them. The waves of energy from their body were not weak, but Lu Shu and the rest did not think highly of them.
Lu Shu looked at Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao. He wanted to see whether they recognized these newcomers.
After he had returned from the Luniverse, he realized that he had to understand a lot of new information. He had to actively fill up the gaps in his understanding. But to Lu Shu, he focused on the bigger picture. He did not have the time to notice the new team of secret practitioners.
Chen Zuan shook his head and softly said, “I don’t recognize them. They are probably an elite team who has risen in the past year. Since the battle at Tiger’s Back, the large organizations have weakened. Many elite teams of secret practitioners have appeared.”
“Yes.” Cheng Qiuqiao nodded his head. “In the past, the large organizations suppressed the secret practitioners. Once the large organizations have weakened, some secret practitioners who have joined forces can display their skills. It can be said that the battle at Tiger’s Back had allowed the Heavenly Network to single-handedly change the realm of cultivation. This will be part of the history of cultivation.”
Lu Shu wanted to ask Chen Zuan to take pictures of these people. He wanted the Heavenly Network to obtain information on these people. But the strongest among this group of people were two Rank Twos. Thus, he gave up on this idea.
Lu Shu quietly listened. He did not expect these people to be well-known among the secret practitioners. Some secret practitioners were loudly praising them for their actions.
The more Lu Shu listened to them, the more he understood. The aim of this organization of elite secret practitioners had always been to expose the malicious deeds carried out by the large organizations. They would post these deeds on the internet and punish them.
This was very popular among the secret practitioners. Furthermore, the strength of Rank Twos in the large organizations were declining. They would not be able to do anything against these secret practitioners for now. Thus, they earned a name for themselves in the global cultivation realm. They were like knight errants.
Lu Shu did not have any ill feelings towards these people. Some felt that the method in which they privately passed judgment on these malicious deeds was wrong, but Lu Shu did not mind. After all, this occurred overseas. It had nothing to do with them.
It would be fine as long as they did not disrupt the mission.
Cheng Qiuqiao softly said, “It seems like their leader has not arrived. Someone asked where their leader is. They replied that their leader would arrive later.”
“Oh. Don’t care about them. We will mind our own business,” said Lu Shu casually. “After all, they are simply Rank Twos.”
“The probability that their leader is a Rank One is not high. After all, Rank Ones are rather rare,” said Cheng Qiuqiao.
“Even a Rank One would be nothing,” said Lu Shu.
This exposed Lu Shu’s great confidence. So what if their leader was Rank One? He had killed more Rank Ones than he could count on one hand…
At that moment, Lu Shu suddenly sensed someone spying on him. He felt a chill. When the group of secret practitioners had come, he was able to lie low. Why was he still being spied on?
Had someone from the Luniverse been lying in ambush here, observing his actions? Lu Shu slowly sat down. Then, he took out a mirror from the Seal of Lands and looked behind him.
When Lu Shu looked in the mirror, he did not know whether to laugh or to cry. A head had poked out of the forest and was recklessly observing Lu Shu. When the person realized that he had been discovered through the mirror, he even waved to say hello!
If this person was not Coral’s older cousin, who else would it be?
The cousin’s gaze was not kind. Of course, a small group of people from the Deities did not think highly of Lu Shu. Their leader had gone to the Luo Shen Cultivation College, but there was no progress between the two of them. He had even caused their leader to waste over one year at the Changbai Mountains!
Thus, her cousin had boldly come to observe Lu Shu as a means of protest…
Of course, this was based on their understanding of Lu Shu. Even if he was discovered by Lu Shu, nothing would happen. Thus, he was reckless… they still hoped that there would be some progress between the two of them.
Lu Shu knew that since her cousin had come, this meant that the Deities definitely knew that he had come to Yellowstone National Park. Thus, there was a reason why their campsite was only two kilometers away.
Who had revealed his whereabouts to the Deities? Lu Shu felt that if it was not Nie Ting, then it was Shi Xuejin…
The cousin did not seem to have any intentions of giving up. Lu Shu slowly kept the mirror in the Seal of Lands. Then, he took out the Sun mirror…
The cousin was puzzled. Why did you suddenly change the mirror… ah!
“From Osten Sko’s distress, +666!”
A strong ray of light shone in his direction. The cousin covered his eyes and tumbled into the forest. Many people in the campsite looked over. They did not even have the time to react…
Lu Shu waved his hand and innocently laughed, showing that he did not know what had happened either. Suddenly, they heard the voice of the cousin. “Wait. I will reveal what is bad about you!”
Lu Shu was speechless.
At that moment, a Caucasian lady from the elite secret practitioners walked out. She stretched her hand towards Lu Shu. “Nice to meet you. Our leader is also of Asian descent. We are very interested in the eastern countries.”
Since Lu Shu was sitting down, the lady had to bend over in order to shake Lu Shu’s hand. Furthermore, the collar of the black vest she was wearing was very wide. Lu Xiaoyu expressionlessly looked at Lu Shu. Had he unlocked some hidden ability to flirt with others?!
