Chapter 1230: What Happened in the Palace of the King of G.o.ds

Lu Shu agreed with what Xu Yuanxuan had said. There was something strange about this detail. Rationally, Arcane and Zhang Weiyu had taken the chance while the old King of G.o.ds was out to attack the palace of the King of G.o.ds. They claimed that they were eliminating the corrupt ministers under the emperor. Then, they escaped from the north city gate.

But how had there been no injuries during this attack? There were two owners in the palace of the King of G.o.ds. Although one of them had been out, the other was not a helpless damsel.

How did the person who had plotted this ensure that Arcane, Zhang Weiyu, and the rest could kill without being injured? Something was strange.

Lu Shu looked at Xu Yuanxuan. “Was there anything else that was strange?”

“No,” said Xu Yuanxuan earnestly. “Back then, the panic that Lord Arcane, Lord Zhang Weiyu, and the rest showed were what they were supposed to be showing. Not long after the Imperial Palace Soldiers escaped to the north, they were caught by you. Then, those who were supposed to disappear disappeared, and those who were supposed to be exiled went into exile… I was also killed by you for overlooking my job. That day, blood flowed through the palace. Many people were angered.”

Those who had disappeared had probably been killed by the old King of G.o.ds. Lu Shu sighed. “That’s right. When they escaped from the north gate, did they have the World Tide with them?”

“Yes, but they were all confiscated later on. I’m not sure either,” said Xu Yuanxuan.

Lu Shu felt that this trip had not been wasted. At least he had obtained some information that allowed him to piece together the truth. It was a pity that these pieces were too scattered.

Xu Yuanxuan knelt on the floor and earnestly said, “I have learned from my mistakes. Please, let me go.”

“I will think about this when I get to the Luniverse.” Lu Shu thought about it and said, “I won’t be able to let you go for now. Furthermore, I need to confirm what you have said with Zhang Weiyu.”

Xu Yuanxuan was dumbfounded. “Zhang Weiyu? He’s still alive?”

In Xu Yuanxuan’s memory, the foundations of Zhang Weiyu and the rest had been broken for many years. They should have been dead. Furthermore, he had started to doubt Lu Shu’s ident.i.ty. After all, he did not seem to be like the old King of G.o.ds.

But now, he discovered that Zhang Weiyu was with Lu Shu. He was not sure any more.

Of course, he did not know that the old King of G.o.ds had secretly sent Zhang Weiyu and the rest to the fields to wait for his eventual return one day.

From the look of things, Lu Shu still had to ask Zhang Weiyu and Arcane about a few things. Only Zhang Weiyu, Arcane, and the rest would know what had happened that night!

Lu Shu looked at Xu Yuanxuan and stepped into a void. He arrived at the place where he first encountered Little Fury. When the squirrels in the forest saw Lu Shu, it was as if they still remembered him. They started to throw fruits at him.

But Lu Shu did not care. He cheerily captured all the squirrels and left the world of the Seal of Lands!

Lu Shu came to the living room and saw Little Fury doing its mathematics homework. He smiled. “Do you want a present?”

Little Fury was instantly alert. It said, “Are you going to give me a pile of winter homework?”

“Of course not.” Lu Shu laughed out loud. Then, he released all the squirrels from the celestial map.

He realized that Little Fury was completely dumbfounded. Then, a group of squirrels gathered Little Fury and started to chatter. Little Fury’s eyes started to brim with tears. Its had lost its imperial concubines, but they had returned!

Although Little Fury had many underlings, they were of a different species. It could not possibly form new feelings for them!

A new king had not emerged among this group of squirrels after Little Fury left. Now that they had reunited with Little Fury, they were extremely touched!

Lu Shu led Lu Xiaoyu out of the door. “Give them some time for their reunion after a long parting…”

Lu Shu was afraid that if they left any later, Lu Xiaoyu would see something that was inappropriate for children. They sat on the rooftop and relayed the information to Zhang Weiyu. They asked him to come over at once.

Not long after, Zhang Weiyu arrived. Lu Shu went straight to the point. “On that night 23 years ago, what did you encounter at the palace of the King of G.o.ds? Why were you able to escape unharmed?”

Zhang Weiyu was silent. Then, he asked, “Why do you ask? Why do you know that we were unharmed?”

“I found Xu Yuanxuan. He told me about it.” Lu Shu did not hide the truth from Zhang Weiyu. “I just want to know what happened that night. Were… you successful?”

Zhang Weiyu recalled. “Lord Arcane plotted this with us for three months. We waited until the old King of G.o.ds was out. That night, we attacked the palace of the King of G.o.ds, but the most unexpected thing happened.”

“What happened?” Lu Shu furrowed his eyebrows.

“We were not the one who killed Lural.” Zhang Weiyu sighed. “When we entered the palace of the King of G.o.ds, it was empty. After three months of planning, she should have been in the palace. But that night, she disappeared. We felt that we had been exposed. Thus, we ran through the north gate. But we were caught after running 150 kilometers away.”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. What had happened? There was no one in the palace of the King of G.o.ds?

Earlier, he had heard of what had happened 23 years ago in the palace of the King of G.o.ds. He had thought that Arcane and the rest had succeeded. But according to what Zhang Weiyu had said, they did not see anyone in the palace. How were they supposed to kill anyone?

Many people probably a.s.sumed that there was a new King of G.o.ds in the palace of the King of G.o.ds. This was what the people in the Luniverse thought. Only recently, Duanmu Huangqi started to suspect that there was no one in the palace of the King of G.o.ds. Thus, he decided to rebel.

Over the past decade, there had been orders from the palace of the King of G.o.ds. Although they were very few, there were still orders. This was the reason Duanmu Huangqi was afraid. There were no more Imperial Dragon Soldiers and Imperial Palace Soldiers. No one had entered the palace of the King of G.o.ds. No one had left either.

It was natural for Duanmu Huangqi to have doubts. If it were Lu Shu, he would also feel that something was weird when no one had emerged from the palace of the King of G.o.ds in over ten years.

But who was the person in the palace of the King of G.o.ds? Many people believed that the new King of G.o.ds was Lural. This was what the entire Luniverse thought. Only a few people started to doubt the reality.

But… Coral was now 23 years old.

Perhaps Zhang Weiyu and the rest really did not see Lural that night, but Lural had left the Luniverse and became Coral during that period. What caused Lural to make the decision to abandon everything… was it because of the head of the Sword Hut? Or something else?

G.o.d Lu and Lural, who possessed the dark map, both left the Luniverse. Then who had been giving out orders in the palace of the King of G.o.ds for the past 18 years? Was it the mastermind who caused the old King of G.o.ds to leave the Luniverse? The person who had chased and killed the Puppet Masters!

For some reason, Lu Shu suddenly felt that he was becoming more and more confused. It was as if he would be able to understand the truth if he found the mastermind behind all these events.

Lu Shu looked at Zhang Weiyu. “Do you have anything you want to ask me?”

Zhang Weiyu shook his head. “You will naturally let me know when it is time. Furthermore, when you go to the Luniverse, everything will be revealed. I look forward to that day.”
