“Let’s be frank with each other,” said Li Liang, “I am very grateful to you for saving me from Duanmu Huangqi. To be honest, I thought I was doomed. Duanmu Huangqi had killed at least 10,000 people all these years. I won’t make a difference to the total number. If you did not save me, I would end up like Duanmu Yunge.”

Lu Shu replied politely, “This is the gratitude I should receive for having saved your life.”

“...” Li Liang was lost for words for a long while. His expression and his words were somewhat mismatched. He gathered his thoughts and continued, “However, I no longer have any value, don’t I, I have no money or power, what do you want me to do?”

Lu Shu laughed happily. “I want to tell you something. However, if you don’t agree with my suggestion, you may die. Even if you don’t die, you will lose your freedom temporarily, are you willing to hear it?”

Li Liang was stunned. Lu Shu had rarely said something so seriously. However, he was not being specific at all. He made Li Liang take a gamble and Li Liang did not even know what he would get if he won the gamble. Yet, he had to die if he lost!

How should Li Liang choose?

Li Liang suddenly sighed. “What difference is my current situation from a dead man? I will listen!”

“Cough cough, forget it, I shall not say it first. I will talk about it after you recuperate.” Lu Shu suddenly felt that it was not suitable to talk about it now. He felt that the refresher fruit was a little strange. Across the entire Earth and the Luniverse, he did not discover any object that had the same effect as the refresher fruit.

Other things might be debatable on Earth but people had come to the consensus regarding the fact that the destruction of one’s foundation was incurable.

Lu Shu once asked Zhang Weiyu about it but Zhang Weiyu did not seem to know about any measures to treat this condition.

Of course, although Zhang Weiyu was an Imperial Palace Soldier, he might not have known everything. For example, he did not know what plans those people who saved them initially had. Therefore, Lu Shu knew that Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi could be hiding a lot from Zhang Weiyu and the rest.

However, Lu Shu did not dare to leak the secret out to the Luniverse. That was because Lu Shu had a concern that he had never told anyone else before.

However, at that moment, Li Liang almost broke down. His hope was destroyed by Lu Shu like that, did it make sense?

Li Liang’s face was black. “Whatever, I, Li Liang, will be your slave as long as you allow me to stay alive!”

Lu Shu shook his head. “I don’t accept anyone as my slaves, this is my principles.”

Yi Qian added, “We are unable to become slaves to the king despite scrambling for the position, how dare you think of becoming a slave to him?”

Li Liang was stunned. “Are all of you crazy?!”

“From Li Liang’s distress, +666!”

Since when were there people who scrambled to become a slave to someone else? Li Liang felt that it was unbelievable. Even the Rank One patrons under Duanmu Huangqi were unwilling to become slaves to the Lord of Heaven. Under normal conditions, half of the Rank One experts under the Lord of Heaven were slaves trained by himself. The other half would be patrons. Of course, the patrons had a worse treatment than the slaves. This was similar to how villagers and ordinary slaves were treated as slaves and were considered his personal assets.

Even people of Rank One had the same treatment. Similarly, those of the Master Realm who were bought over by the Lord of Heaven were treated the same way.

Lu Shu asked suddenly, “How many Masters are there under Duanmu Huangqi? Do they all listen to him?”

“There used to be two and recently became three,” sighed Li Liang, “You may not believe it but the master who just assumed his status is Duanmu Huangqi’s slave. If I was that Master, I would probably be extremely frustrated. As a Master, I still had to be someone else’s slave.”

Lu Shu shook his head. “Although I hold grudges against Duanmu Huangqi, we should not jump to conclusions. Without Duanmu Huangqi’s resources, he probably would not be able to get his Master Realm. Therefore, it is only a matter of choice. It is a somewhat difficult issue. Duanmu Huangqi’s powers was equivalent to four people of the Master Realm? Doesn’t that make him comparable to the Sword Hut?”

“Perhaps not,” negated Li Liang. “The realm in which the senior discipline in the Sword Hut is at is extremely high. Moreover, the Master of the Sword Hut was born to kill and other Masters could not match up to him. Don’t you remember how the senior disciple severed the aura of Duanmu Huangqi when he was targeting you?”

“You mean, Duanmu Huangqi is unable to defeat the senior disciple of the Sword Hut, right?” asked Lu Shu.

“This is difficult to say. Duanmu Huangqi is a scheming person. Perhaps he is still testing out others’ powers.” Li Liang shook his head and said, “Actually, you haven’t realized the most serious problem. Duanmu Huangqi treasures his life. There must be a reason behind his survival after several battles. Therefore, he is now in the palace and dares to target the Sword Hut... I suspect that the other Lords of Heaven are supporting Duanmu Huangqi!”

“Hold on, why the Lord of Heaven instead of that person in the palace of the King of Gods?” asked Lu Shu.

“First of all, the King of Gods do not view this level of fight as important. Secondly, the abnormal behavior in the palace of the King of Gods has been very strange these past few years,” said Li Liang as he looked at Yi Qian, “For the past ten years, have you seen the new King? Where did he go? Is he still in the palace of the King of Gods?”

This question cause Yi Qian to freeze. “No, I haven’t, but...”

Yi Qian did not complete his sentence as Li Liang did not know his status as an Imperial Dragon Soldier. Therefore, he could not say how the Imperial Dragon Soldiers had always thought that the person in the palace of the King of Gods was fake. If what Li Liang had said was real, their existing knowledge would be completely turned over!

That was traumatizing!

At this moment, Li Liang said, “In the past, the old King of Gods requested for each sector of the world to deliver their memorials monthly. After he stepped down, the palace of the King of Gods took away this rule. Therefore...”

Li Liang had an extremely superior status in the West Region. Therefore, he knew much more than Yi Qian. Although Yi Qian was able to purchase secret information, the royal court would not allow anyone to spy on them. It was a different case for Li Liang. He had come in touch with a large amount of information during his time in the West Region. His classmates were scattered around different government offices all around the palace. He definitely had a lot of information sources.

Therefore, the more Li Liang said, the more Lu Shu frowned. Was there really going to be a huge disaster in the Luniverse?

“Duanmu Huangqi’s actions are too strange,” said Li Liang suddenly, “After losing the battle, I realized that the invasion of the Black Feather Army to the North Region was an act. The so-called reward of ten fortresses was a bait for everyone to fight with their lives. He is now deploying more soldiers at the borders of the West Region and the North Region, and I suspect that he is not planning to invade the North Region. Instead, after the Black Feather Army attracted the attention of the North Region, Duanmu Huangqi placed his focus on another place. It is close to the borders but there’s nothing in that place.”

Lu Shu was stunned. “Why would he deploy soldiers if there was nothing there?”

“How would I know,” sighed Li Liang, “He did not tell me the details. I think he made the move out of anger because I lost the battle and it affected his plans.”

Lu Shu suddenly felt that he fell into a gray cloud of haze. The contents in the haze was a mystery. As Lu Shu assimilated into the Luniverse, the haze started to dissipate gradually and the image started to become clear.
