Chapter 1259: Back Thrust
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Sun Zhongyang had experienced the third emotional roller coaster today. The first time when he had failed to enter the rear mountain of the Sword Hut. The second time was when he encountered Lu Shu. The third time was when he encountered Lu Shu…
He was slightly upset. The situation that his father had created was destroyed by him. Compared to the representatives from the other wealthy families in the palace, Sun Zhongyang was too inexperienced!
Although he occupied a powerful position within the Sun family, did this mean that he was experienced? Not necessarily.
The wealthy families all clamored to Lu Shu and wanted to provide donations. Suddenly, Sun Zhongyang was lost. What should he do? Evidently, the Sun family had the most courage. Even Xiao Mingze had only secretly made a decision for the Song family.
At that moment, Lu Shu happily shoved the wads of cash and the gifts from the wealthy families into the Seal of Lands. Among these gifts were rare weapons.
Lu Shu knew that the wealthy families were simply paying lip service. If they had not been surrounded, they would have presented these gifts to Duanmu Huangqi.
But Lu Shu did not care. No matter what, he was only secure if he obtained material goods from these people.
Chen Zuan softly said by the side, “Are you so happy collecting money?”
Lu Shu looked at Chen Zuan. He said with a sense of justice, “Do you think that I am doing this for myself? The wealth in this world is just a disguised burden. Do you think that I’m really happy?”
Chen Zuan was dumbfounded. He did not expect that he had misunderstood Lu Shu. When Chen Zuan thought about how Lu Shu had risked his life many times and taken up many responsibilities for the Heavenly Network, he started to tear up. “Brother Shu, are you not happy?”
Lu Shu paused for two seconds. Then, he said, “No, I am happier than you think.”
Chen Zuan was dumbstruck.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”
When the wealthy families saw this, they were hopeful. The rumors were not wrong. This young man was really very greedy!
At this moment, Sun Zhongyang thought about it. When had the rumor that Lu Shu was very greedy spread in the palace? Was it not when he had deliberately spread information about Lu Shu after being cheated by him?
Back then, Lu Shu even acted as a Rank Two and was cheated by Sun Zhongyang. Now, Sun Zhongyang suddenly felt as if fate had come one full circle.
After the transactions were completed, everyone suddenly realized that Lu Shu seemed to be in deep thought.
Lu Shu had a problem. There was no suitable way to deal with these people. Since they had given him money, he could not kill them.
But would Lu Shu be at a loss during times like this? Evidently not. He immediately thought of a solution.
Lu Shu had met many humans in the Yellowstone National Park remains. They had even built a city within the remains. They might be able to provide their old King of G.o.ds with distress points every day.
To be honest, if Lu Shu was able to channel all the distress points towards himself, he did not need to keep attacking cities. But they had different celestial maps. The gap between the two worlds also disrupted the flow of distress points.
Furthermore, the relic in Yellowstone National Park was Filth Removal. Filth Removal was still upset with him. He had no way to reopen the remains…
But now, was he able to create a similar environment…?
Lu Shu would definitely not lock up the wealthy families forever. At least, he would not do so to the Sun family and the Song family. But Lu Shu could use their earlier developments and buildings. An environment suitable for human life in the fifth level of nebula could be replicated in the fourth level of nebula.
After attacking the cities, Lu Shu felt that he might be able to create the second Yellowstone National Park remains. Earlier, Lu Shu had not killed the inhabitants of the cities. After all, he would be killing too many people. Thus, after the Imperial Dragon Soldiers destroyed the cities, they stopped. This also reduced the production of distress points.
If Lu Shu wanted to break free of the master realm and reach a higher level, he would have a long way to go.
When Lu Shu thought about this, he was excited. Then, Sun Zhongyang and the rest saw that there was something wrong with Lu Shu’s gaze…
After ten minutes, over 1000 people from the wealthy families were gathered by Li Heitan and the rest. They were made to line up in front of Lu Shu. When Lu Shu touched them, they disappeared.
The elites from the palace panicked. What in the world was happening?
In order to save some trouble, and prevent people from rebelling, he even brought Sun Zhongyang back several times. In the end, it was confirmed that once they disappeared, they would not die. They would simply go to another world.
Of course, what he thought was easy quickly grew difficult. The Song family and the Sun family were very cooperative, but it was normal for the others to rebel.
But Lu Shu was also very patient. Lu Shu would ask these people to establish a common understanding with Li Heitan, Zhang Weiyu, and the rest. Then, he would put them in the celestial map.
Furthermore, Lu Shu even provided them with a large amount of goods and materials. For example, he dried up a river and pulled out plants from dozens of kilometers away. He sowed many different seeds.
Others played city building games on their computer or phone, but Lu Shu had created a world.
Overnight, the spies from the palace suddenly realized that the Wei Wu Army seemed to have disappeared. When they traced their tracks, they discovered a dried up river and a barren wasteland. All the plants had been uprooted.
The spies were perplexed. What in the world was the Wei Wu Army doing? Did they pull up trees at night for fun? Was this what they meant when they said that the Wei Wu Army did not even let weeds off?
Overnight, the representatives from the wealthy families disappeared, along with the entire Wei Wu Army. They could not find traces of the Wei Wu Army. Everyone panicked. Where had the Wei Wu Army gone?
The spies suddenly realized that something was wrong. Why did the footsteps of the Wei Wu Army seem to be heading back? There was nothing there, only a destroyed city.
At the same time, in the nearest city, the city leader reorganized his military power. He had a gloomy expression on his face. While he planned on surrounding the Wei Wu Army, he organized the reinforcement of the city wall.
His servant softly asked, “My Lord, are we outflanking them from behind? Are you afraid that we cannot defeat them?”
The city leader looked at him coldly. “Do you not trust His Majesty, the Lord of Heaven? Do you think that the magnificent West Lord of Heaven cannot defeat the Wei Wu Army?”
His servant thought about it. Then, he said, “I can’t say for the Lord of Heaven. The Lord of Heaven might be strong, but we cannot defeat them…”
The city leader thought about it for a long time, but could not find any points of contention.
But at that moment, he saw that the “escape poverty and make a fortune” flag was flying in the moonlight!
“d.a.m.n, why are they back?” The city leader panicked. “Why can’t the Wei Wu Army just go to the West Capital? Why are they back?!”
