Chapter 1087: Secretly Go On One Path While Secretly Going Along Another

“Where else has this happened, other than in India?” Lu Shu asked.

Zhong Yutang sighed. “We are not sure about the other places, as before you returned, we have seen this symbol, but we can only treat it as a tattoo. Earlier, when we captured the soldiers from the Black Feather Army as prisoners, we asked them about the structure of their society, but we did not have enough time to ask about specific details.”

“At first, we thought that their slave system was similar to that of ours in ancient times, but we did not expect it to be even more cruel in the Luniverse. The slaves are controlled by techniques. It is rather impossible for slaves to rebel,” said Zhong Yutang. “Thankfully, you’re back.”

Lu Shu’s return had helped the Heavenly Network fill in gaps in their information. The information they had obtained from the enemy was not completely reliable. You would not know whether they were telling the truth. You would not know if they were pretending to tell the truth, but actually leading you into a trap.

If the Heavenly Network had the ability to capture spirits and question them, like Lu Xiaoyu, it would have been good, but they did not have this ability.

Lu Shu would not lie to them. Furthermore, Lu Shu had brought back the Imperial Palace Soldiers, who were very familiar with the Luniverse.

Zhang Weiyu had not attended classes for the past two days. He had worked with the Heavenly Network to provide information on the Luniverse. After learning that the old King of Gods was simply a porter of poems, Zhang Weiyu needed to busy himself with work…

Zhong Yutang said, “A similar situation has probably occurred in the southwest. They are infiltrating the area very quickly. Heavenly King Nie has led an army to the south. Hopefully, they will be able to find the person behind this.”

Lu Shu could understand Zhong Yutang’s concern. It was very easy to control someone with the mark of a slave. A slave was able to get rid of the mark, but the people of the Luniverse all knew that they would have to endure extreme pain.

Many people had tried to do so, but had given up halfway.

The only limit was that everyone had limited vitality to bear the mark of a slave. This was also the reason why Zhang Weiyu and the rest had been shocked when Lu Shu accepted the Treaty of Alliance from over 5000 people.

The Treaty of Alliance provided a smaller burden than the mark of slave, but it was not negligible.

It depended on how strong the individual was. A Rank One expert would be able to control over 1000 slaves in one week. They would reach their limit at around 5000 people.

But with the diverse range of strategies, more than one person might come this time.

Furthermore, there was a more important problem. If the Practitioners on Earth were willing to submit themselves to a master, they could pass down the methods to control slaves to the Practitioners on Earth. Then, it would spread like a virus.

Lu Shu never had much hope in humanity. He believed that people would sell their souls to a demon for some benefit.

This was very surprising. Duanmu Huangqi had been fighting to the death here, but the person behind the scenes was secretly on one path while going along another. They were using Duanmu Huangqi as a shield.

Zhong Yutang’s phone rang. He took a look and said, “You should have received the news as well. Everyone has to be careful. The mark of a slave has appeared in the southwest!”

Lu Shu was stunned. The enemy was very ferocious. They had laid their hands on the Heavenly Network. Were they not afraid to die?

It seemed as if many people had come to Earth from the Luniverse!

“Are there any ways to get rid of the mark of a slave?” Zhong Yutang asked.

“If you kill the slave owner, the mark of a slave will disappear,” said Luniverse. “In the Luniverse, slaves who have lost their slave owners are called roamers. Some of them will find a new master and receive benefits, while others will choose freedom. A majority of the soldiers in the Wei Wu Army are roamers, but they are like ordinary people now. There are no effects on them.”

“Thus, we have to kill the slave owner.” Zhong Yutang thought about it and said, “This method to control slaves is far too tyrannical. If they are weaker, it is easy for the mark of a slave to be forced on them. Although those being controlled are not a huge threat to us, we still have to be careful.”

Lu Shu was more optimistic than Zhong Yutang. “We can’t assume that they will continue to develop slaves. What if they have some escape route?”

Most importantly, they did not know what the enemy wanted to do. It was like a game of chess. They had to fight with every move. They could not let their enemy rack up achievements.

A new piece of news caused Zhong Yutang to furrow his eyebrows. “There’s a problem. They had controlled the secret practitioner slaves to kill the innocent. Although we have controlled these slaves, we cannot find the slave owner!”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. What should they do now? The enemy had made their move. First, they had controlled the secret practitioners as slaves. Then, they had concealed themselves.

Even if they had captured the secret practitioners, they could not act freely. If they could not find the slave owners, they could not let these secret practitioners go.

But the control relationship between the slave owner and the slave was one-sided. Even if you captured the slave, it was of no use.

“Has Nie Ting thought of a solution?” Lu Shu asked. If this had happened overseas, then forget it. They did not have the time to care about the lives of others, but it was unbearable if it happened in the territory of the Heavenly Network. They could not allow the enemy to cause any harm.

The information network of the Heavenly Network was outside the country. Their domestic information was rather weak. As a result, they would not be able to find the slave owners for some time.

Furthermore, these slave owners who were hiding might not be from the Luniverse!

Slaves could not betray their slave owners. The Heavenly Network could not obtain information about the slave owners from the slaves.

Zhong Yutang said, “We can only gather the secret practitioners and prevent the enemy from forcing the mark of a slave on them. We’ll think of a solution for the rest. Heavenly King Nie will return tomorrow. A strong surveillance team has been set up in the Longmen Fortress. Hopefully, we will be able to obtain some clues on them based on Heavenly King Nie’s analysis.”

There was a loss of time in between. You might find the perpetrator tomorrow, but a new offender might appear again.

Zhong Yutang suddenly looked Lu Shu. “Do you have any good ideas?”

Lu Shu thought about it. Then, he turned and looked at Little Fury. “Get the army of mice to go there! I will give you ten refresher fruits. Increase the number of Class C’s and Class B’s among your underlings. Find the people behind this and bring them back.”

Suddenly, Little Fury was excited. It had an important responsibility. It was time to show off his skills!

Little Fury took out its small notebook and wrote on it. “If I can’t find them, I will behead myself!”

Lu Shu’s expression darkened. “Who did you learn this from?!”
