Chapter 994: The Sword Hut Among the Clouds

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

My name is Lu Shu, and I am panicking beyond belief.

Lu Shu stood on the wall and looked at the crowd. When he was planning this earlier, he thought that as long as he appeared, many people would definitely want to kill him, but... he did not expect this many people!

He looked helplessly at the people. Their eyes were full of hatred. People continued to stream in.

Lu Shu’s plan was to kill the Sword Hut candidates, while Li Fangfeng’s plan was to lead everyone to kill Lu Shu. But now, none of them could move!

“He is Lu Shu! Kill him!”

“Hm? He is actually quite good looking,” someone suddenly said. Earlier, during a storytelling by a scholar, a girl had said that according to her elders, Lu Shu was a good-looking young man. Back then, no one believed her. After all, there were no young and good-looking commanders. But when they saw him, they could not help but admit that he was good-looking!

“What time is it? Why do you care about this?”

“Right. Sorry. Regardless of whether he is good-looking or not, let’s kill him first.”

The hatred the citizens of the palace held towards Lu Shu was not ordinary. Every set of armor used by the Wei Wu Army was gained from the blood, sweat and tears of these citizens...

Some said that the rise of the Wei Wu Army was the history of the palace written in blood, sweat and tears. There was nothing wrong with this.

Lu Shu turned back and saw Lu Xiaoyu expressionlessly packing their things. She felt that it was a pity. It was a good house, but they had to leave...

Yi Qian asked, “Boss, what should we do now?”

“Run...” Lu Shu was helpless.

They could not kill all these people. They were not very powerful. If not, they would not have been so envious. But the problem was, could they commit a massacre just over this? Lu Shu was not bloodthirsty.

“Where will we go?” Yi Qian asked.

Lu Xiaoyu sighed. “I expected this to happen. We still have the house that we booked from the inn. Let’s secretly go back.”

Li Fangfeng and the rest stood on the rooftop and witnessed this scene. They did not even know what to do. Even the self-proclaimed leader, Li Fangfeng, was dumbfounded. “I have lived in the palace for many years, but this is my first time seeing such a grand scene.”

“Yes, it’s not this crowded even during the new year...” Someone sighed with emotion.

The candidates of the Sword Hut selections should be the protagonists surrounding Lu Shu, but they had been pushed to the side. Li Fangfeng could not stand this humiliation!

“Then what do we do now? We won’t be able to chase them. We can’t even land.”

“Let’s give it some time before making a decision,” someone said.

With the disappearance of Lu Shu, the Sword Hut selections seemed to return to normal. But no one could forget what had happened.

An existence who was regarded as public enemy number one had finally appeared in the palace. Lu Shu was thankful that Anthony could use Mid-Soil Escape. If not, they would be discovered wherever they went.

But Lu Shu was more annoyed by Xiao Mingze, the boss of the Song Ji gambling den... where were the Sword Hut candidates who were supposed to come and kill him? How did it turn out like this?

Thankfully, the gambling dens still had funds. If not, they would lose money again! Even worse, Lu Shu had disappeared again!

At night, Lu Shu partially covered his face as he walked on the streets with Lu Xiaoyu. He was afraid that someone would recognize him. He said in a soft voice, “What do you want to eat? I heard the meat pie from Shiliu Lane is amazing. Shall we try some?”

Lu Xiaoyu looked very uncomfortable. They had just returned to the Lu residence. But such a good house had been trampled by the furious citizens of the palace.

They would have to spend a lot of money to rebuild it! Of course, there was a silver lining. All their anger had been released by destroying the house. They had been relieved of much of their anger...

She felt that Lu Shu did not suit such a conspicuous position. At night, Lu Xiaoyu requested Yi Qian to find a broker and build a small house for them. They did not have any other requests. It just had to be concealed...

After all, for a person like Lu Shu, it would not be safe unless he was concealed.

“It’s all your fault,” said Lu Xiaoyu. “Don’t make any plans in the future. There is something very wrong with your plans.”

Lu Shu was unhappy. “We have to get up from where we have fallen. If I am not good at making plans, I should practice planning more. Have you heard about the barrel theory?”

As he spoke, Lu Shu saw a vendor selling barrels. He picked up one barrel to explain. “How much water a barrel can hold is not determined by its height. It is determined by the height of the shortest piece...”

Ka! Lu Xiaoyu destroyed the barrel with a punch.

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.

The vendor was speechless.

“From Lu Shu’s distress, +666!”

“From...”

Lu Xiaoyu tossed a dozen notes to the vendor. Then, she continued to walk forward without looking back. One barrel cost about five notes. The rest of the money was to make up for the scare...

Suddenly, Lu Xiaoyu stopped in her tracks. She looked up. In the distance, there was a place shrouded by clouds. The clouds covered the skies. Even the stars in the sky seemed to be concealed.

It was like a Heavenly Country. They could not see what was inside.

Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu had heard of this place. The Sword Hut.

The Sword Hut was in the palace, but it rarely exposed its appearance. During the Sword Hut ceremony, the civilians of the palace enjoyed coming to the Sword Hut to attend the ceremony. This was not just because of their admiration towards the Sword Hut. It was also the only time they could see the true appearance of the Sword Hut.

The clouds had been placed by the head of the Sword Hut. It was said that Masters could see everything within fifty kilometers. This no longer involved the strength of the eyes. This was a result of their magical instincts.

But these clouds were very unique. Even Masters could not see through them.

Lu Shu suddenly thought about the rumor between the head of the Sword Hut and the old King of Gods. Were the clouds put in place to prevent the old King of Gods from looking in?

After all, the other Masters and Lords of Heaven were thousands of kilometers away. They would not be able to see this place. Even if there were other Masters in the palace, who dared to spy on the Sword Hut?

This did not seem right either. Lu Shu felt that even the Lords of Heaven did not dare to spy on the Sword Hut.

But at that moment, Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He felt as if there was a gap within the clouds. It was extremely small, but there was someone behind the gap looking at them.

Suddenly, Lu Shu felt massive pressure. An unprecedented force was upon him. Lu Shu concentrated and tried to resist the force. He looked up and stared in the direction of the gaze. He would not retreat!

Trying to make Lu Shu back down through force? There was no such thing!

But the force came quickly and disappeared quickly. It was gone in a flash.
