Chapter 347: The Proper Usage Of Liu Li

Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy

”w.a.n.g Lu, calm down, what can be done has been done, this is the best possible outcome under this circ.u.mstance. This will decide the victory or defeat.”

Deep under the sea, w.a.n.g Lu quietly stood on the wreckage of a palace in the ruins of ancient city, swallowing a few mouthfuls of bitter water to calm his mind. What he must do next, every action and every movement, could not have the slightest mistake—he could not afford to make even one mistake.

Liu Li falling into other people's scheme was indeed beyond his expectation. All the various protective measures planted on Liu Li by the Elders failed to work. When he thought about it, this result was not strange. The opponent was close to legendary level profession, moreover, here in Western Continent, the law was different, so it wasn't strange if there were accidents. Any prior protective measures were not safe. Only by improvising and acting according to the circ.u.mstances could Liu Li be perfectly protected. However, everyone was fully confident in w.a.n.g Lu's ability to adapt, including he himself. Unfortunately, in the end, an accident still happened. Moreover, it was an accident where he could not s.h.i.+rk off the blame. He had thought of all the other factors, but he didn't antic.i.p.ate that this young girl's feeling was the one that led to her downfall! But this was not Liu Li's responsibility. As her guardian, w.a.n.g Lu must a.s.sume the full responsibility!

However, the higher the danger level of the crisis, the less time he has to blame himself. Even if w.a.n.g Lu's sin could not be redeemed by a thousand deaths, he still needed to deal with the opponent first, and then he could consider on how to punish himself.

The situation was still far from being desperate. Although Faceless One has basically taken Liu Li hostage, w.a.n.g Lu still has cards up his sleeve. Moreover, theoretically, he has a card that could trump everything—he has the support of Golden King.

Without Golden King's acquiescence and secret help, their starting point in the sea of clouds might not necessarily be near that gloomy castle, not to mention outside the castle, it might be difficult to find the abandoned vehicle of Golden King. Moreover, the most important thing was, without the acquiescence of Golden King, there would be no detailed map of the sea of clouds in that vehicle!

This was an easily overlooked common sense; a high-level vehicle could record its journey. The biggest purpose of w.a.n.g Lu in scavenging was not the vehicle itself, but its previous journey record! At the same time, this was a secret that w.a.n.g Lu had never told anyone. When he was in control of the vehicle, w.a.n.g Lu found out that Golden King had indeed recorded the road map of his back and forth journey in the Beautiful Unique Pool Peak in that vehicle device. Golden King himself didn't fully explore the entire sea of clouds, but around sixty percent of the terrain had actually been recorded. Which meant that this map was truly priceless. Moreover, the icing on the cake was that Golden King had considerately marked some key spots on the map! This was also the reason why w.a.n.g Lu dared to risk himself.

The forgotten city of Atlantis in the endless sea, which was labeled by the Golden King as the place of reversal, was the opportunity that w.a.n.g Lu grasped during the brief confrontation in the vehicle.

”Liu Li, wait for me…”

While muttering, w.a.n.g Lu grasped the last card in his hand even tighter.

”Atlantis, forgotten city, abandoned by the G.o.ds…”

At the other end of the city ruins, a stiff-faced girl slowly walked. Relying on her perception, she tried to track w.a.n.g Lu's whereabouts while at the same coldly scanning her surrounding. While moving her limbs, she vaguely felt bouts of pressure.

Legend has it that Atlantis was once the pinnacle of the Western Continent civilization, similar to the Penglai Immortal Island of the Nine Regions. However, similar to the Age of Chaos disaster that destroyed nearly all of immortal path civilization, Atlantis was also permanently sunk down to the bottom of the endless sea due to a catastrophe. It was rumored that when Atlantis was still a vibrant island, due to them being a highly developed civilization, its citizens became insufferably arrogant and willful, and more importantly rude towards the G.o.ds. Because of this, they were permanently punished by the G.o.ds of the Western Continent.

There would never be gifts of divine grace in the Atlantis, only the wrath and the curse of the G.o.ds.

Of course, legends were just that, legends. Atlantis was destroyed tens of thousands of years ago, but the history of Holy Light Religion… was not that long. However, within it, Faceless One could clearly feel the mystical power of this place.

It was a rejection of divine power. Holy Light Religion wors.h.i.+ped the Sea of Holy Light, not a personified G.o.d. However, since it was a religion, it has something in common with religions that wors.h.i.+ped G.o.d—the essence of holy light was also a kind of divine power. Thus, it seemed to be reasonable that it was rejected in the city of Atlantis.

Was w.a.n.g Lu's a.s.surance lying in this? Did he choose this battlefield that favors the heretic to make a comeback?

It was indeed a very clever idea. The rejection of Holy Light by the Atlantis was firm and without any gaps… The ubiquitous repulsion force has really put a pressure on the parasitic state Faceless One, making it difficult for him to perfectly maintain the spirit occupation of Liu Li. This would surely give w.a.n.g Lu an opportunity. If Faceless One had a one on one duel against w.a.n.g Lu in the ruins of Atlantis, Faceless One did not have the confidence that he would not reveal any flaw. If by some means w.a.n.g Lu managed to expel him out of Liu Li's body, the situation would be instantly reversed.

While thinking, Faceless One has already captured w.a.n.g Lu's position. He was hiding in the abandoned palace, ready to make a move, seemingly waiting for his arrival, as if at any time he might rush out and catch him unprepared.

Faceless One did not continue to move forward, nor used the hostage to force w.a.n.g Lu out. He just gently shook his head and inwardly sneered loudly.

It was naive to use the advantage of Atlantis, for he had no intention of fighting one on one against w.a.n.g Lu. Previously, Faceless One had used the hostage because there was no other way to catch him. But now that he had dragged him from the vehicle, the rest could be handed down to the coolies. Faceless One did not trust Paul, Ferdinand, and the others, but when needed, he would not shy away from using their power.

”Humph, it's time for those idiots to play their part.”

Then, he used the connection between his avatar and his body to send a signal.

At the same time, in another place in the sea of clouds, because the Holy Light Religion team had pushed the Holiness vehicle to its limit in terms of speed, which overloaded the energy core and caused it to constantly groan, the atmosphere inside the vehicle became exceptionally restless.
