Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 824: Roping In and Rejection

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu panicked. When he saw that the blood devil had appeared, he suddenly felt as if he was being surrounded by the Puppet Masters...

How about Tiger Zhi? Would he be around as well... Lu Shu looked around, but he suddenly remembered that he had never seen Tiger Zhi’s actual appearance. Thus, he had no clue as to finding him.

He knew that the Puppet Masters were on Earth to draw in former subordinates for their master. The small white fish that Chaos had eaten and the blood devil were some of them. At first, the blood devil did not seem to be willing to join them. In other words, the Puppet Masters were very loyal, but the rest were not necessarily so.

Hm. Lu Shu suddenly thought, since Cloud Yi had caused him so much trouble, was she planning to make him work to death for that useless king?

Had Cloud Yi seen his potential and want to rope him in? After all, Lu Shu sounded very impressive as the Ninth Heavenly King. Furthermore, he was skilled in swordplay... at least, this was how Lu Shu viewed himself.

But if the Puppet Masters were really thinking of this, then they had found the wrong person. Lu Shu would never work to death for anyone.

It was in his nature. Lu Shu could work, or live under someone else’s roof, but he would always have a strong desire to break free from his current situation. Lu Shu would never be satisfied in those kinds of circumstances. His ideal life would be free from the control of others. This trait made him conflicted when he was about to join the Heavenly Network.

To Lu Shu, your king could be very impressive, even more impressive than a Shen Cang Jing. But if Lu Shu did not want to work to death for the king, what could the king do?

Of course, this psychological drama was full of ups and downs. Lu Shu had started to think about how he should reject the Puppet Masters without angering them if they tried to rope him in.

How would he reject them? Lu Shu had a headache...

But one cause for celebration was the fact that Lu Xiaoyu had listened to him and returned to the Heavenly Network base in the Changbai Mountains. If not, they might have gotten into a fight with the Puppet Masters even before they found the controller.

If Tiger Zhi was not around, and only Cloud Yi and the blood devil, whose power had dropped to Class B, were here, they might not be able to stop Lu Shu if he wanted to run away. After all, Chaos was a Class A.

Of course, this was if Chaos was reliable.

Chaos now slept all day. There were times when it could be awakened, and there were times when it could not...

But most importantly, if he were to battle the Puppet Master here, he would not be able to find the controller.

For some reason, Lu Shu suddenly felt that this was not planned by the Puppet Masters. It might have been because his impression of the Puppet Masters had changed. Of course, there were other areas of concern. The controller had always been hiding in the dark throughout the entire plan. How could they appear so easily?

The blood devil pulled out its long sword from the corpse of the secret practitioner and sheathed it. It was as if the secret practitioner had been sucked of all his energy and collapsed in a puddle of blood. The blood devil smiled and looked over. But when he looked at Cloud Yi, its expression suddenly turned cold. It was as if the blood devil was unhappy that it was the one doing the killing.

Lu Shu did not know where the blood devil had been hiding. It seemed to have been hiding among the secret practitioners. But the moment it attacked, everyone was shocked.

After the blood devil finished killing, it kept its weapon. It said coldly, “The secret practitioners must work together. If not, you will be bullied by the large organizations for the rest of your lives.”

He then walked to a large tree and sat down under the tree. The tree was a dozens of meters away from Lu Shu and the rest. It seemed as if it did not intend to talk to Cloud Yi.

At first, Lu Shu did not pay attention to it. But not long after, he suddenly realized that the blood devil, who had been sitting at the tree, had disappeared. He did not know when the blood devil had left. The secret practitioners had not noticed either.

Evidently, the Puppet Masters still had many strange methods up their sleeves.

According to the Puppet Masters, the world had become weaker... much weaker.

It was not that they were very powerful. Their abilities were very diverse. If the world was a Practitioner with over ten techniques, they had over 100. They had more skills and more knowledge.

The blood devil stood quietly at attention in the shadows. It seemed very perturbed. Tiger Zhi, who was standing in front of him, looked very respectful. He observed the secret practitioners from above.

Tiger Zhi calmly said, “Don’t deliberately show off. It’s not yet time for you to contribute. Killing a few secret practitioners does not count as a contribution. Put your plans away. Your effort will be for nothing. The king’s ideas are not something that you can understand.”

The blood devil lowered its head and said, “Yes, I understand.”

“I know what you want.”Tiger Zhi glanced at the blood devil. He had been kind, but now he seemed authoritative. “You will obtain what is supposed to be yours. Wait for our king to return. We will report our contributions to him. He will decide how to reward us. It is of utmost importance to do our best.”

“Yes, I understand.” The blood devil lowered its head even lower, but there was excitement hidden in its eyes.

His blood spirit was under the control of Tiger Zhi, and he could not oppose. But when he realized that there were greater benefits and glory ahead, freedom became a secondary concern.

Everyone had their own decisions. The blood devil was no exception.

Tiger Back campsite.

The Heavenly Network had shifted their base here. Many Heavenly Network members suddenly realized that the logistics team was constructing a giant fort in the massive campsite...

In the past, they had only constructed a simple defensive fortification. But now, it was different. More and more members of the logistics team arrived. The massive team was made up of metal-types, earth-types, fire-types, and more. It was as if they had a massive plan in mind.

Needless to say, no organization in the entire world had a logistics team as large as this.

The Heavenly Network selected lower-level Practitioners, such as Class E’s and Class F’s, as part of their security formation and logistics formation. They would be very passive on the battlefield, even against elemental types. In terms of strength, they could not engage in close combat. They did not have any techniques for use in long-range combat either. Thus, the security and logistics formations were the most suitable positions for them.

The other large organizations wanted more cannon fodder. Class E’s and Class F’s could not become official members of the Phoenix Society.

But the Heavenly Network did not intend to obtain victory in exchange for the lives of their members. They would use their abilities for their own jobs, according to their own abilities.

The structure of a massive fort slowly formed. The Heavenly Network was trying to build an impregnable fortress here to welcome their enemies.,
