Chapter 1194: City of Evil

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu thought about something. The forbidden land was like a ma.s.sive prison. All the creatures who posed a threat would be imprisoned there.

But why were humans inside the remains? Why did the person controlling the remains have to bring people in too?

Lu Shu reached a conclusion. These people were criminals, and the vast remains were an entire prison.

Whether he was right or wrong would be an issue for another time. After all, Lu Shu had never confirmed it. But if Lu Shu were to control the remains, there would be no point sending a group of innocent people here. Furthermore, he would not send a large group of people here for no rhyme or reason.

After talking with the King Cow and Gu Qin, Lu Shu knew that the remains most likely belonged to the old King of G.o.ds.

After spending a long time in the Luniverse, he was curious about something else. The King of G.o.ds had fought for 3000 years. What happened to his army… were they all killed?

Thus, Lu Shu felt that this place was like a ma.s.sive land of exiles. They would be able to encounter some ancient people.

The people who had been banished to the remains were probably not kind or good people.

Earlier, they had discovered a skeleton called Lu Kongming. Lu Kongming was now in the Seal of Lands. His white bones had been bitten by Chaos. It was tragic.

To Lu Shu, Chaos was not much different from a husky. It would bite anything it saw. When the head-twisting gourd and the Cheng Ying sword were still inside the Seal of Lands, Chaos still showed restraint. But now, it was completely free.

Lu Kongming was in pain. He had just been thrown into the Seal of Lands when he saw a dragon charging towards him. Who had he angered?!

Were humans inherently good or evil? People had not reached a conclusion after thousands of years of debate. Even sages were divided. Lu Shu did not have a final conclusion.

But he knew that it was very hard to find any good people in a lowly place like this. After all, they had been influenced by their surroundings since they were young.

It was very difficult, but not impossible.

As the city guards slowly approached them, Lu Shu observed his surroundings. To his shock, the people observing them seemed entertained. They were hefty and did not seem like good people.

In terms of strength, they were almost on par with those in the Luniverse… to Lu Shu, none of them could fight.

Of course, there was no point comparing these people to Lu Shu. Even a Rank One would not be able to defeat Lu Shu.

Lu Shu was most worried about Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao. After all, they could do as they liked on the Earth, but if they were in the remains or in the Luniverse, they had to be more cautious.

Lu Shu said, “I will follow you.”

The city guards laughed coldly. “Even if you don’t want to, you have to.”

Someone at the side joked, “They are quite good-looking, especially the one with black hair. The city head will definitely like them. You have done well.”

Lu Shu’s expression was complex. As expected, they were like the people from the Luniverse. At least, they could appreciate beauty…

Lu Shu and Coral did not resist. Over ten Rank Three and Rank Four city guards escorted them to the other end of the city. As they walked, the city guards jeered, “The two of you are honest, but we have captured more people like you. Don’t think about running away. You won’t be able to.”

Lu Shu suddenly asked, “How many people like us have you captured?”

The city guard laughed. “Between 800 and 1000. It is said that Zhengyang City has caught a few thousand people. Some people like you have run to the mountains. Heh heh, can they run away? They will eventually be caught.”

Lu Shu was puzzled. There were many cities in the remains. From the look of things, they had developed order and organization.

This did not surprise Lu Shu. After all, places with people had ambition and power. It was very normal for powerful people to establish order to protect their rule.

If it was as Lu Shu had thought, some powers that the old King of G.o.ds had defeated were thrown here. They were familiar with establis.h.i.+ng order from nothing. After all, they had been in managerial positions before…

Furthermore, Lu Kongming had said that there were various schools of thought. This also meant that techniques were being pa.s.sed down.

The people who had been thrown here were of different strength levels. Different schools of thought meant that their strength achieved progress and advancements. Lu Shu looked at the city guards. The mark of a slave was on the back of their heads. They were probably the slaves of the city head.

“Don’t feel like you have been wrongly treated.” A middle-aged city guard laughed. “Some good people were thrown in here by G.o.d Lu. But I have never seen so many people sent here in one go… furthermore, it has been a long time since new people came. Why are your clothes so strange?”

This confirmed what Lu Shu was thinking about. The city guards treated Lu Shu and the rest as criminals that the old King of G.o.ds had sent here. The people here did not know what was happening outside the remains.

This place seemed to be the private jail of the old King of G.o.ds. But why had it become the remains?

Suddenly, someone in front of them stabbed another person in the chest. Blood stained the ground.

The offender took out a small pouch from the dead person after some time. Then, he saw the city guards and laughed. “Sorry, sorry, I didn’t see you.”

As he spoke, the offender quickly took out money from his pocket. It looked like the notes in the Luniverse. He pa.s.sed it to the guards. “Pretend that you saw nothing!”

The city guard laughed and stuffed the note into his pocket. Then, he shouted, “Hurry up and clean the floor! If not, you will be caught!”

“Sure!” The offender quickly gave way to them.

This shocked Lu Shu and Coral. Was it so easy to kill people? Why did it feel as easy as killing a pig?

What kind of place was this…

It felt as if they were raising venomous insects. A group of venomous creatures were all put in one place. The ones who survived to the end would definitely be the most venomous and the most evil!

If criminals were only imprisoned and banished here, it would be fine. But Lu Shu knew that the old King of G.o.ds would not allow them to survive freely here. He might use them one day.

If someone controlled the remains, and released all the evil people and frightening creatures into the world… Lu Shu did not dare to imagine this.

Lu Shu restrained his curiosity and asked, “Is there anyone you cannot capture?”

“There might be.” The city guard smacked his lips. “I just heard that there was a young woman in the west, who killed the city heard of Tonghuan City… as for what is happening now, I’m not sure. But that person is very ferocious. This is my first time seeing someone kill the city head just like that…”
