Yi Qian did not question Lu Shu’s decision. Since Lu Shu said that they have to watch out for Sun Xunwen, they would definitely follow his orders.
However, to Lu Shu, there were many changes in the West Region. Perhaps Sun Zhongyang was only pretending to be loving Sun Zhongyang or perhaps God Lu was about to spring a counterattack. However, all those were not important as one’s life was the most important.
Moreover, Lu Shu was worried that God Lu was running around the place with six spirits of the masters. If he had really found Sun Xunwen, plotting for a counterattack was not the most worrisome but instead, the most worrisome thing was how God Lu would turn Sun Xunwen into a slave!
The mark on slaves was extremely terrifying. Although a master had many schemes and Sun Xunwen had been plotting this for a long time, it was not impossible for God Lu to accomplish his goal even if he had to pay a huge price. Moreover, the evil intentions of God Lu had surpassed the master realm.
That was what Lu Shu was truly worried about.
Meanwhile, at this moment, Yi Qian found Lu Shu. “Something happened in the West Region, Great Lord, your speculations are accurate…”
Lu Shu said impatiently, “Cut to the chase.”
“The spies reported that the main ship of the West Region had sunk in the afternoon. It seemed to have been attacked by others.” said Yi Qian.
“Do they know who did that? Who is on the main ship?” asked Lu Shu.
“No idea. There was a hole at the bottom of the ship and that person entered through it. He must have not wanted anyone to know his identity,” said Yi Qian, “The ship is where Sun Xunwen lived and he is the only important person on the ship. Moreover, the battle started and ended quickly.”
“What happened after the battle ended?” asked Lu Shu.
“The strange thing is that. We can’t seem to get close to the main ship so the ship that he was in became the main ship after the battle ended. Moreover, Sun Xunwen acted as though nothing had happened and made the rest proceed as usual.”
“As though nothing had happened?” Lu Shu frowned.
“Moreover, the troop that Sun Xunwen was in charge of had families who are good at bringing up ‘water ghosts’. Just earlier on, Sun Xunwen commanded them to enter the waters. Nobody knew where they went.”
“Alright, I got it.” Lu Shu rubbed his eyebrows. “Continue to take note of the different parties and tell the spies to watch out. If not necessary, don’t reveal their identities.”
Yi Qian was stunned for a moment. “Great Lord, are you worried about them getting killed? Their lives are worthless.”
Lu Shu looked at Yi Qian and smiled. “Everyone’s life is worthy. If one day, I was forced to choose, I will not choose to sacrifice your lives. Get moving.”
“Alright.” Yi Qian left with mixed feelings.
At this moment, the bright sky of the palace became overcast as night time arrived.
The rising wind forebodes the coming storm. The dark clouds covered the sky. Lu Shu stood on the city walls in the inner city alone, looking at the sky. Nobody knew what was on his mind.
He had faced such situations before in the past. He only cared about enemies in fortress of the Collection of Gods. Only one “spy” helped him defend against attacks and bought time for him.
Then, Lu Shu sighed softly as he looked into the sky. “Public enemy.”
Zhang Weiyu and the rest did not disturb him. They chatted and looked at Lu Shu, the lonely young man standing on a vast wall.
Chen Zuan looked worriedly at Lu Shu and said to Cheng Qiuqiao, “Brother Shu must be very stressed.”
