People turned to see a fat man bouncing around in the crowd of individual Practitioners, his cap and mask in his hand… Was that not the Li Yixiao that they were just talking about?
But who was the other person beside him wearing a cap and mask just like him?!
It was such a great shock for Lu Shu. Bloody hell, this Li Yixiao would even make things harder for his own people!
He had heard stories of the Laos remains from that old folk. Back then, there were quite a few candidates from the Heavenly Network.
Thus, Lu Shu had always been curious why only the two of them were sent here this time.
At first, in his speculation, the rest might have hidden somewhere and would only identify themselves at the point of need.
But judging from the current moment, it was highly likely that they had no other teammates, because Nie Ting was worried that Li Yixiao might give his own men a hard time!
Then the question was, were you not worried about me, Heavenly King Nie?!
Suddenly, Lu Shu felt unease in a frosty stare. Having already been exposed, Lu Shu decided to avoid no more. Then, he turned to see the Class B expert from the Collection of Gods glaring at him.
Probably the man would have grudges against himself too, thought Lu Shu. As expected, an entry set in. “From Nogiwa Takenobu’s distress, +381!”
He knew the Heavenly Network and the Collection of Gods were never at peace. Based on his expression, the Japanese seemed more than happy to slaughter him and Li Yixiao. Thus, if given the chance, Lu Shu would be glad to kill this Nogiwa too.
Certainly he could not win the normal way, as the man was clearly advantaged in all aspects. But what if he could launch a secret attack?
Those individual Practitioners around Li Yixiao were all in shock. Why did you hide among us just now?!
With the gazes from big organizations, the low-leveled Practitioners felt compelled to step aside, leaving Lu Shu and Li Yixiao at the center of a circle of one meter in diameter.
Those complaining about the limited space earlier did not utter a word now. Meanwhile, the big organizations were stunned too at the current situation. Only two people were sent from the Heavenly Network? Could it be they want to maximize their average strength?
Then, was it possible that the other guy was a Class B too, same as Li Yixiao? Yet, there was no information on the new man, and neither could they match him to any known Heavenly King given the knowledge on their physical traits.
Could he be a newly ascended Class B in the Heavenly Network? This Eastern country was so powerful!
Coral looked at Lu Shu’s figure from behind the crowd. She knew she had recognized him correctly the moment she saw him together with Li Yixiao.
Her comrades could guess it from her cheerful smile as well. Following her gaze, they saw two people in the crowd. It definitely could not be that fat man though, he was such an eyesore!
Hence, it must be the man beside whose face was hardly identifiable.
Ecstatic, Li Yixiao turned to Lu Shu. “Ha, they can’t use me as an excuse now, can they?”
You are still concerned about this right now?! Lu Shu had almost got used to his temperament and gave a nod of assurance. “Possibly no…”
Lu Shu thought, you probably would have been besieged if not for the top priority of locating the relic now… Moreover, Li Xianyi would likely be one of those beating you up…
At this moment, the leader of the Phoenix Society let out an arrogant laugh. “We the Phoenix Society shall take the lead then, since none of you dares to venture further.”
After that, he took the initiative to advance inside. Currently, there was another structure in the innermost area that had yet to be explored. However, at this instant, the entire palace suddenly started shaking again. All the individual Practitioners immediately glanced around warily, and some tried to force their way out but only to find it was too late.
Rapidly the whole building sank into the ground,pulling along everyone inside. Then, the patterns on the palace walls caught Lu Shu’s attention again. Could it be a trap? To groom a monster using human blood? Anyway it seemed like the case for Inferno Blood Devil.
The situation suddenly went into chaos. The most unruffled of all was still Li Xianyi. With his sword, he could easily take down even a Class A being.
Li Xianyi curled his lips. “Posturing!”
The palace descended for a total of two minutes. Now, it was utterly impossible to estimate their distance to the surface. Moreover, the building was again buried by earth. Without the relic, no one would be able to escape alive.
Individual Practitioners were all flustered. They were unable to bear such turbulence with their low capabilities. “WHAT HAPPENED? Are we trapped?!”
“It shouldn’t be that dangerous with all the big organizations with us!” It was merely a word of comfort that was not convincing after all.
Away from the light source, the entire place soon plunged into complete darkness.
“Torchlight!” an individual Practitioner said.
At the moment, a ball of growing flame suddenly appeared on a Phoenix Society expert’s palm. But in the next instant, a golden ray shone from the crowd, so blindingly bright that it offended the Class B’s eyes. The expert’s hand jolted, and the fire was immediately distinguished…
“What the freak!! Turn it off now!!”
“From Howard Miller’s distress, +399!”
“From…”
As a matter of fact, Lu Shu was shining at a whole direction, not a single person…
The intense atmosphere in the palace was instantly punctuated by furious bellows. “Who the hell is that?!”
“Am I blind?!”
At that time, almost up to one quarter of the people in that direction was facing Lu Shu!
Li Yixiao marvelled at the effect. “… Impressive!”
The individual Practitioners behind him were all in shock, not knowing what he was holding. Was it a magical weapon?! But bro, it was not very nice of you to set off an indiscriminate photo-attack against various big organizations!
But before they could give it a more careful thought, Lu Shu had turned, looking innocent…
“Freak!”
More had gone blind…
Lu Shu felt that the illumination of his fifth star would soon be hopeful if he continued to provide this all-rounded lighting service…
But when he turned to the next direction, he suddenly saw Coral gazing at him against the strong light. Her joyful expression seemed not even a little diminished and her silver-gold hair was sparkling in the blinding radiance. She had recognized him, Lu Shu had confirmed.
At that moment, a sentence crossed Lu Shu’s mind. Men born humble as ants, yet live up to be glorious as Gods. It was not meant to describe one’s beauty, but it did pop up in his head.
