Spare Me, Great Lord! - Chapter 1317
Chapter 1317: The Mantis Catches a Cicada, But a Finch Lurks Behind
It was not a coincidence that Wen Zaifou had come here. No matter how much he disdained political matters, the palace of the South Capital had nurtured a few experts.
How could a magnificent Lord of Heaven be a person living in isolation, as said in the legends? Furthermore, he had locked himself up for a few years. There had been no problems in the South Capital, besides the fact that the aristocrat armies were idle. He had dared to go into isolation for a few years as he had gathered a few capable soldiers.
Birds of a feather flock together. Although Wen Zaifou was strange in the way he did things, he was sincere with people. Furthermore, there were many people like him in this world…
Earlier, when the palace had turned into an ocean, one of Wen Zaifou’s trusted subordinates had told Wen Zaifou, “If the King of Gods wants to use the water city to destroy the drive of his enemies, his enemies will definitely find a way to bring the water away.”
As for where they would bring the water to, there was no better option than the South Region.
Thus, Wen Zaifou’s trusted subordinate had checked the geography and confirmed a few areas suitable for flooding. Before the South Region army arrived, he was already there.
When Wen Zaifou confirmed that this group of people had come to cause trouble, he prepared to leave. He was not someone who would meekly submit to humiliation. If others wanted to bring the water here, he would start thinking of another suitable place for the water.
He thought about it. Qing Kong from the North Region was more frightening. Thus, he decided to bring the water to the North Region…
He knew what had happened in the North Region. Thus, when he thought about how demons were let loose in the North Region, he was very disgusted. Human Practitioners had ruled the Luniverse for a very long time. It had been the case even before the old King of Gods. No one expected this to change just because of one Blood Devil.
To be honest, even Wen Zaifou did not know that Qing Kong was a Blood Devil.
Typically Blood Devils were unusually attractive. They particularly liked the blood of human Practitioners. They obtained their strength through sucking their blood.
But Qing Kong had hidden this very well. First of all, he did not look like a Blood Devil at all. Wen Zaifou felt that he had never seen such an ugly Blood Devil in his life…
Furthermore, Wen Zaifou had never seen Qing Kong drinking any blood.
Suddenly, Wen Zaifou stood up straight. He saw a shadow moving in the forest. They did not come with good intentions.
Wen Zaifou quickly turned back and saw a black spirit holding a bronze lamp. Above the bronze lamp, there was someone looking down on Wen Zaifou.
The mantis catches a cicada, but a finch lurks behind. The South Region had opened their mountains to be flooded, so that they could lure Wen Zaifou out!
The surrounding master spirits slowly closed in on Wen Zaifou. Wen Zaifou was stuck in the center.
Wen Zaifou looked at the shadow on the lamp. He acted dumb. “Who are you?”
“Have you forgotten your pledge? To be loyal to me for the rest of eternity?” The blurry figure said in a cold tone. “Do you really dare to forget this kind of pledge?”
Wen Zaifou was dumbfounded. “It’s you! I remember, I remember!”
“Are you willing to be my slave?” The evil intention of God Lu said, “If not…”
“I am willing!” Wen Zaifou went straight to the point.
The evil intention of God Lu had wanted to say something else, but he was stopped. He did not expect this process to be this simple.
The evil intention of God Lu sighed and placed his index finger in between Wen Zaifou’s eyebrows. In a flash, black smoke went into Wen Zaifou’s forehead and stopped at his neck, leaving the seal of a slave that looked like black fog!
The evil intention of God Lu said, “Send the armies from the South Region to the palace. Don’t care about the consequences. Did you hear…”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Wen Zaifou wiping off the seal from his neck, as if nothing had happened. He had wiped away the seal of a slave!
It was as if other people had the seal of a slave tattooed on them, but Wen Zaifou had bought a low quality sticker!
The evil intention of God Lu was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a strange scene. He shared memories with God Lu, but he did not know that Wen Zaifou had this ability!
Many people in this world were trapped by the seal of a slave. Those who wanted to break free from the seal would have to bear tremendous pain. As far as Lu Shu knew, only one person had this ability. It was You Mingyu. Back then, Lu Shu saw the report where You Mingyu had described the process of breaking free from the seal. It was very simple. All he had to do was to bear the pain.
You Mingyu made it sound easy, but Lu Shu had never seen anyone else who was able to break free of the seal of a slave.
Wen Zaifou did not experience any pain at all. This was his natural build.
Wen Zaifou laughed out loud. “I can’t become a slave even if I wanted to. I simply said the pledge. Is there anything else? If not, I am going to leave.”
“Leave? Can you even do that?” The evil intention of God Lu laughed coldly.
At this moment, countless white pigeons flew out from Wen Zaifou and flew towards all the spirits in the area. There were so many pigeons that Wen Zaifou could no longer be seen.
The surrounding spirits were forced to step back. The white pigeons were not living creatures. They were part of Wen Zaifou’s technique!
When the pigeons dispersed, Wen Zaifou had also disappeared. It was as if he had performed a perfect disappearing trick!
Wen Zaifou, who had stepped into a void to the South Region military camp, he shouted, “I, a master, almost died! Someone, come and escort me! There is someone trying to assassinate me! I was almost scared to death!”
He was very worried that the evil intention of God Lu would chase and kill him. But after people protected him, he realized that they did not seem to intend on fighting head-on.
Wen Zaifou softly said, “What a close shave! So it was him!”
This was a problem that had troubled Wen Zaifou for a long time. The answer had finally revealed himself tonight.
If the evil intention of God Lu knew to ambush him there, would Wen Zaifou not have known about this? It was a dangerous time. Anything was possible. He was on the alert, especially after knowing that Sun Xunwen had rebelled.
This time, he seemed to have left easily, but it was very dangerous. Wen Zaifou only dared to go because he wanted to know the answer.
Wen Zaifou was a risk taker. He liked to gamble. If not, he would not have dared to go tonight.
The fact that the Wei Wu Army had worked with the Song family gambling den had shocked him, as he had bet a hefty sum.
He had thought about going to see who made him bet so much money, but the moment he saw Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu, he changed his plans. He started to interact with Lu Shu.
Wen Zaifou was somewhat restless. To him, the King of Gods had chased him out of the palace as he had sold the decorations from the palace of the King of Gods. It was not because he liked to nag!
The two masters beside Wen Zaifou looked at him. “Lord of Heaven, where is the person who tried to assassinate you?”
Wen Zaifou did not answer them. Instead, he waved to the north. “Let’s go! Let’s go! We will help the king! The King of Gods needs our help!”
