Chapter 1086: Do Not Believe in Coincidences

Lu Shu was thinking about how he should explain this to Chaos. When he first received the tridents, he told Chaos generously to eat as many as he wanted as all of the tridents belonged to Chaos.

However, he turned the “chocolate sticks” to the weapons of the Wei Wu Army and would never give Chaos anymore tridents in the future. After all, magical weapons would have defects and the remaining tridents were used as backups.

So, how should he explain to Chaos? Lu Shu said after thinking,

“Are the leaves yummy? I can get some for you?”

Chaos was stunned for a moment, it seemed… alright?

After all, as long as he had something to eat, he was fine with it. Moreover, the leaves of the World Tree was much tastier than the tridents.

Taking the opportunity while Chaos’ attitude changed, Lu Shu said, “I didn’t give you the tridents because I pity you. How can I give you something so bad-tasting. If I want to feed you, I have to feed you with the best leaves!”

Chaos was confused. Really? If that was the case, Chaos suddenly became happy again, “Chirp chirp chirp!”

‘Then when shall we go and pluck the leaves?!’

“Cough cough, don’t rush,” Lu Shu said, “We have to first…”

Lu Shu finally pleased Chaos and caused him to calm down. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. It was not easy for one to raise a child!

Hold on, when Lu Shu thought about Chaos, he suddenly got reminded of a friend whom he had not met for a long time… Hai Gongzi!

Initially when Lu Shu encountered the Dream Chooser and got his powers sealed, he lost Cheng Ying sword too. When he was in the Luniverse, he felt that it was a pity as he could rely on the Cheng Ying sword instead of the tree branches to kill.

Now that the Seize Thief of Lu Shu’s fourth layer of celestial map had appeared, although it was a short-ranged sword, he still craved the feeling of terrifying his opponents with the Cheng Ying sword.

Lu Shu was a candidate who always had a back-up plan no matter how confident he was.

When he thought about the Cheng Ying sword, he went to look for Zhong Yutang. However, when he saw Zhong Yutang, he was stunned for a moment. In the past, Zhong Yutang looked like a middle-aged man and with his increase in rank, Zhong Yutang had always been in a state of “turning younger”.

Besides Zhong Yutang, almost every single middle-aged practitioner in the Heavenly Network was in the same state.

Yet now, Lu Shu saw how Zhong Yutang’s initially black hair turned gray.

The battle with the Black Feather Army had used up too much of Zhong Yutang’s energy. As the think tank of the Heavenly Network, he had to be responsible for many things.

An outsider viewed the rise of the Longmen Fortress as a miracle but did not know how much hard work people put in behind the scenes.

Instantly, Lu Shu felt that the incident when Zhong Yutang intentionally did not pick up his call were things in the past.

To be honest, Zhong Yutang did not expect that incident to only be resolved at this point in time…

Lu Shu asked, “Did you guys pick up the Cheng Ying sword after I went to the Luniverse?”

Zhong Yutang said, “Even if we wanted to look for it, we were unable to find it…”

The Cheng Ying sword was invisible. One could only tell its outline after examining it closely. If there was no fixed parameters for the search, it was like finding a needle in the ocean — impossible.

Therefore, only Lu Shu could look for the Cheng Ying sword as the sword recognized him by his blood. At a certain distance away from the Cheng Ying sword, he could feel its presence.

Lu Shu was thinking about whether the Cheng Ying sword would cease to exist if he stayed in the Luniverse and did not go back…

That sounded wrong. Couldn’t Hai Gongzi run back with the sword… To be honest, Lu Shu did not take notice about whether Hai Gongzi could hold the Cheng Ying sword and he was not sure if Hai Gongzi could come out after the Cheng Ying sword lost contact with its owner.

Lu Shu suddenly realized that he had to make a trip to the Changbai Mountains…

However, at this moment, Zhong Yutang suddenly brought up another matter. He said, “I should make a trip personally to tell you this. After all, you should know this as you are the Ninth Heavenly King.”

Lu Shu felt a sense of solemness from Zhong Yutang’s expression. He asked, “What happened?”

“Initially, we thought that the practitioner from the Luniverse had entered through North America accidentally. However, it seems more complicated than what we thought it would be,” said Zhong Yutang, “Based on some of the intelligence reports I have obtained, I can claim that another force from the Luniverse is plotting a plan.”

“Last Friday, the intelligence personnel of the Heavenly Network discovered people with the slave mark in India. Although there were only a handful of them, it is worth noting as after all, there is no space pathway in India,” said Zhong Yutang.

“You mean someone is keeping slaves in India!” Lu Shu said in horror. He thought that such things would occur in North America first. However, unexpectedly, it occured in India.

It had been only one week since the last closure of the space pathway. That meant that after that person reached the Earth, he left North America immediately and went to India.

In the past, Shi Xuejin had analyzed that the development of force by Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi would probably start from India. That was because the region was chaotic and although there were many practitioners, those who were powerful died after invading the Heavenly Network. Therefore, there was no leader at that moment.

Apart from India, the entire Southeast Asia seemed to be in the same situation.

Nevertheless, Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi did not expand their powers at that region as it had been eyed by someone else. The other party seemed to have gotten hold of the Earth’s details.

Was this a coincidence or planned? Lu Shu was starting to not believe in “coincidences”. He gradually realized that he should not have the mindset that everything was a coincidence or he might get killed because of that mindset.

However, if someone really made the effort to plot a scheme, who could it be?

Lu Shu suddenly felt that perhaps Duanmu Huangqi was a representative that was sent by the mastermind to trick others.

Meanwhile, the mastermind started his plan when everyone shifted their focus on the Longmen Fortress.

It was an extremely huge scheme as it involved playing a game with three masters and 20,000 Black Feather Army soldiers’ lives.

However, this should not be the case. As the West Lord of Heaven, why would Duanmu Huangqi allow himself to be controlled by others? Or maybe Duanmu Huangqi did not even realize that he was being made use of!

Lu Shu was calm. It was not the first time he had met someone who only hid behind the scenes.
