Chapter 811: Hunting Time

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

To Chen Zuan, in the two years since he had started training, a lot of violent incidents that no one had claimed responsibility for seemed to have been done by Lu Shu…

At first, when the Collection of G.o.ds was suddenly destroyed, no one knew who did it. It turned out to be Lu Shu.

Back then, when the Cla.s.s A apt.i.tude geniuses were a.s.signed to destroy the black markets, the missions of many teams had been stolen. Later on, when Chen Zuan got closer to Lu Shu, he realized that Lu Shu had disappeared during that period of time.

Back then…

There were just too many of such incidents. Thus, even though Chen Zuan had not understood what was happening in the camp, when he heard that enemies had been killed near the Ladder River and the Tiger Back, but no one knew who did it, Chen Zuan immediately thought that Lu Shu was behind this. If they followed that route, they would be able to find Lu Shu!

Of course, Chen Zuan did not know that Lu Shu was now disguised in a team and was fighting a series of battles. He had completely strayed away from that direction.

Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao stood there and eavesdropped on the team, who was still chatting among themselves. They wanted to know more about how the battle had developed.

The camp was tight but neat. Everyone knew what they had to do, and whose orders they had to follow.

The Heavenly Network did not waste all their years of learning. Many overseas organizations were messy and disorganized. They were like gathering grounds for hunters in the Middle Ages. But the Heavenly Network was already using a durable metal pail.

But Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao also saw some injured members who were able to return to the battlefield very quickly. Some even requested their superiors to send them back to the battlefield while they were still injured.

Chen Zuan suddenly felt as if he had come to the right place. After he had grown stronger, he needed a battlefield to prove himself. This place needed him as well.

Someone suddenly said, “Heavenly King Feng and the rest are discussing their future strategies at the command post. I heard that they want to create a team of a.s.sault troops to break through the line of defense. Many experts have appeared in the Heavenly Network recently. Do you think the 11th Heavenly King will suddenly appear?”

“Not possible. Even if we have so many Cla.s.s B’s, they will not create a position for another Heavenly King,” someone else argued.

“The Ninth Heavenly King is still a student. How unexpected. When we were on the Cultivation College forum, we were still buoyant. I didn’t expect the legendary Lord Lu to become a Heavenly King…”

The members of the Heavenly Network also read the Cultivation College forum. It was like a forum to them. Rather than chasing a celebrity that had nothing to do with them, why not follow some genius Pract.i.tioners?

“Heh heh. Did you see that list?” Someone laughed softly.

“Which list? The Luo Shen list? I’ve met Cao Qingci before. Back then, we were chasing and killing traitors, but they were very strong. The chase continued for three days and three nights. Everyone was fatigued. When we chased them to the Northwest desert, she suddenly started killing and shocked all of us. She is really aggressive. I heard that was her first mission and her first time killing others. But she was straightforward and agile. She did not even blink.”

“No, I’m talking about the handsome list. Ha ha ha, Lord Lu is number one. But I heard that this list is not reliable. Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao, who are second and third, are both very ugly. They created the list themselves, thus they ranked themselves highly as well.”

“Ha ha, two shameless and ugly people!”

Suddenly, someone tapped their shoulder. Chen Zuan’s expression darkened. “h.e.l.lo, I’m Chen Zuan. Do you know where You Mingyu is?”

Cheng Qiuqiao, who was beside him, complained, “I told you not to put our names on the list. The shameless one is you, not me.”

At that moment, You Mingyu was running from the opposite direction. It was as if he was running towards the command post.

When You Mingyu saw the two of them, he was taken aback. “Why are you here? What about the students from the Luo Shen Cultivation College? Have they come here as well?”

“No, no.” Chen Zuan laughed buoyantly. “We’re here to request leave. After all, we have to ask you directly. Not directly applying for leave would seem slightly inappropriate…”

You Mingyu was silent. “This idea… did Lu Shu suggest this?!”

Chen Zuan’s eyes lit up. He seemed very proud. “We can’t find him either. This is my idea. How is it? Not bad, right? Isn’t it similar to Lu Shu’s demeanor?”

“Why are you so proud about this…” You Mingyu was speechless. For some reason, he felt something familiar about this idea, thus he had thought that Lu Shu had given Chen Zuan the idea. But he turned out to be wrong. This meant that… Chen Zuan and the rest had started to be influenced by Lu Shu!

Chen Zuan seemed very pleased, as if he had been praised. Suddenly, You Mingyu said, “Wait, did you say that you don’t know where Lu Shu went?”

“I don’t know,” said Chen Zuan. Since Lu Shu concealed his ident.i.ty, there was definitely a need for him to do so. He had guessed that Lu Shu had already entered the Changbai Mountains, and that Lu Shu was probably responsible for the ma.s.sacre of the overseas Pract.i.tioners near Ladder River, but if Lu Shu did not reveal his ident.i.ty, Chen Zuan would not say anything either.

There were over 40 thousand members of the Heavenly Network in this boundless campsite. Many people were still making their way here. Chen Zuan could guess based on his intuition, because he had come here to find Lu Shu.

There were so many people here. Many small teams entered the Changbai Mountains everyday. Most of the routes that they took were repeated. There was even the possibility that they had walked in the wrong direction. Who could determine who killed them in a short span of a few days?

But now, the most important thing was the war itself. As the commander, they could not focus on things like who had killed those Pract.i.tioners. If a commander focused on these kinds of things, they would attend to trivial matters and neglect essentials.

Now, the large organizations overseas were using their profits to spur on Pract.i.tioners and Metahumans to enter the Changbai Mountains and engage in conflict. On the other hand, the Heavenly Network was fighting for their beliefs and glory.

As for when the war would end, it would be up to the winner to decide.

You Mingyu calmly looked at Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao. “Since you have come all the way here, I can’t make you go back either. But this is a war. Do you students truly have the courage and belief to go to war? Or you do not know what courage and belief are?”

Chen Zuan looked to his side. The warriors from the Heavenly Network were heading into the Changbai Mountains with a sense of justice.

He suddenly grinned. “This is not our first time being a.s.signed to kill. Although we still can’t answer your question, I feel that this war will tell me the answer.”

Lu Shu, whom many people had been looking for, closed his eyes and lay down in a puddle. He was waiting for the best opportunity.

The time for hunting had come.
