Chapter 1082: Impossible to Defend!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
From the information provided by Nie Ting, Lu Shu could tell that Nie Ting did not know the truth about Jiang Shuyi but Nie Ting nevertheless gave him the detailed information about the Jiang family.
At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly realized that there were seven people of the Jiang family in the Heavenly Network. Moreover, three of them were part of the Flood of Bronze and one had already died.
This surprised Lu Shu. Initially, he thought that the Jiang family was a backup that Jiang Shuyi placed on Earth. However, after reading various information, he realized that the Jiang family had no relation to the Luniverse. They were an ordinary big family.
However, all of these were nothing worthy. The more important information was that the current master of the Jiang family was the fifth Heavenly King named Jiang Yuqiu.
Nie Ting was the first Heavenly King, s.h.i.+ Xuejin was the second, Chen Baili the third, Li Yixiao the fourth, Jiang Yuqiu the fifth, Feng Yeming the sixth, Feng Yunlu the seventh and Lu Shu had yet to see the eighth as he was guarding the northern borders. Lu Shu was the ninth Heavenly King, Nalan Que the tenth and Lu Xiaoyu the eleventh.
There had always been a saying in the Heavenly Network that Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan were the prospective candidates for the next Heavenly King. However, the selection and designation of the Heavenly King was not a small task.
Jiang Yuqiu was the fifth Heavenly King. This explained why Jiang Shuyi was always able to receive information prior to everyone. However, Lu Shu was wondering what role did Jiang Shuyi play in the Jiang family? How did he convince the Jiang family to help him hide his ident.i.ty after arriving on Earth, could there be some exchange of benefits?
Jiang Yuqiu had isolated himself in the northern region of Luo City. Initially, he wanted to go to the Longmen Fortress but Nie Ting allowed him to continue training in Luo City after considering how many people of the Jiang family were involved in the battle. According to sources, he was likely to make a breakthrough to Cla.s.s A.
Lu Shu expected the Jiang family to be nearby. Or else, why would Jiang Shuyi go to school in Luo City. Moreover, he was a transfer student.
However, although Jiang Yuqiu’s house was in Luo City, he had always been guarding the borders of the southeast. Therefore, Lu Shu had never seen him before.
Nie Ting thought about it and said, “The Jiang family made big contributions to the Heavenly Network. Moreover, the Jiang family has always been altruistic. I hope you can mind your manners.”
Lu Shu nodded. “Don’t worry, I am not there to kill.”
He knew why Nie Ting said that. Nie Ting was afraid that he would take rash actions and drive the Jiang family to a dead end… Was Lu Shu a person to do that?
Initially, he had no grudges with the Jiang family and also had a good relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Shuyi. Even if Jiang Shuyi resumed his status as the senior disciple of the Sword Hut, both of them were still close to each other.
Therefore, Lu Shu would not make things difficult for the Jiang family. He only wanted to know the truth.
The strength of the Heavenly King was concentrated in Luo City. It was the best time for large organizations overseas to infiltrate and attack, but none of the large organizations were willing to take the risk.
If everyone was on the same level in the past, now, their levels were extremely disparate.
While the large organizations found it difficult to produce a Cla.s.s A, the Heavenly Network had a group of them. If the large organizations went against the Heavenly Network now, they would be courting death.
Before Lu Shu left, he was reminded of something and said to Nie Ting, “You have to be extra careful with overseas organizations, especially Northern Europe and North America. Do not stop the intelligence reports.”
“Why?” Nie Ting asked.
“I am afraid that some humans would be willing to team up with the Luniverse!” said Lu Shu.
The Luniverse had abundant tactics, talents and resources. If people teamed up with a particular source of power in the Luniverse, it would give the Heavenly Network a headache.
Especially since both the Saint and Francesco were still alive. Both of them knew the Heavenly Network the best. If they teamed up with the Luniverse, the party of the Luniverse would instantly get information about the Heavenly Network.
“I will head to Europe and North America once I’m done talking to the Jiang family,” said Lu Shu calmly.
“Go for what?” laughed Nie Ting.
“Didn’t you say that we should not let off anyone who deserves to die? However, even if we are not killing them, we should head over to take a look at what was going on with the other two s.p.a.ce pathways.” said Lu Shu.
Initially, Francesco and the Saint were the triggers for the battle on the Tiger’s Back. Although the Dream Chooser had stirred up trouble behind the scenes, both the names of the Saint and Francesco were on Lu Shu’s notebook and were destined to die.
Lu Shu asked Nie Ting curiously, “Why aren’t you killing them?”
Nie Ting said calmly, “You probably just returned and don’t have much information regarding the outside world… I have already killed the two of them long ago.”
Lu Shu was speechless.
Indeed, Nie Ting never changed. After Nie Ting advanced to the Shen Cang Jing, he would definitely not let the two culprits off…
“Then what’s the matter with the Phoenix Society,” asked Lu Shu curiously.
“An organization would not be dismissed if one person is killed. I can’t possibly kill the entire organization. Recently, the speed of recovery of the magical energy is accelerating. There was another Cla.s.s A expert with the alias ‘Prison Warden’. However, the Phoenix Society had been much more orderly and we do not need to take any measures against them. After all, the Heavenly Network is very friendly.” said Nie Ting.
Lu Shu looked at Nie Ting, he could not a.s.sociate Nie Ting with the word “friendly”. The entire world’s pract.i.tioners probably had the same mindset.
Lu Shu suddenly froze and turned to leave.
At this moment, distress points suddenly started acc.u.mulating in the back-end of his system!
“From Zhang Weiyu’s distress, +699!”
“From Liu Yizhao’s distress, +699!”
“From…”
Unsurprisingly, it was the distress points of the Imperial Palace Soldiers! Oh no, things had f*cking gone wrong!
At this moment, Lu Shu went to the cla.s.sroom of the Wei Wu Army and watched the Imperial Palace Soldiers sitting blankly in the cla.s.sroom. This was not specially built for them by the Longmen Fortress but rebuilt from an abandoned building. This task was a piece of cake for Anthony.
At this moment, Bai Nuo, the intern teacher stood at the rostrum, not knowing what to do. Lu Shu asked him in a low voice, “What did you tell them?”
“When I was teaching about the History of the Tang Dynasty, I told them that the culture of the dynasty was very prosperous and vibrant, poems were created continuously… Then they said that their king was a great poet and I asked them what he wrote…” Bai Nuo said in a weak voice.
Lu Shu was distressed, indeed, there is no way he could conceal the truth forever!
Zhang Weiyu and the rest were on the verge of a mental breakdown and could not hear anything! They finally understood why Lu Shu did not allow them to read widely and use the internet…
Lu Shu comforted them, “Have you guys thought that perhaps the old King of G.o.ds did not plagiarize. He could be just an a.s.sistant of the poet…”
Zhang Weiyu and the rest still did not react. This blow was too sudden, even Lu Shu felt that it was impossible to defend against it!
