Spare Me, Great Lord! Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Survivors (Part 1) Everything within the realm of the remains froze from this moment on. The ghosts which were das.h.i.+ng towards Lu Shu were frozen midair and Li Yixiao also froze in his position in the middle of an escape. The red eyes of the terracotta soldiers glowed with anger, as if yearning to release all their rage.

The fights between the armored soldiers and the heavenly network within the underground palace also froze.

It was as if someone pressed the pause b.u.t.ton on this world. It was extremely strange and everyone could feel themselves pa.s.sing through s.p.a.ce and time, just like when they got here.

Lu Shu’s squirrel was quite terrified as it had never experienced any of this. As Lu Shu was also being transported out of the remains, its small paws were grabbing tightly onto a lump of Lu Shu’s hair.

This realm of the remains was broken and everything started to disappear. Lu Shu felt that something was wrong. It wasn’t disappearing, but congregating towards that yellow dragon seal within his body.

This time he also realized… he was the only one who could move in this entire world!

For some reason, he felt that there was some s.p.a.ce within this seal. Just at the last instant when the remains were disappearing, Lu Shu tried keeping the twelve spears he got from the terracotta within the seal. With his mind, he could still retrieve these spears anytime.

There was no more time.

And at the next instant, the world changed!

…

The weird sighting on Mt Beimang was no longer just an event lasting a couple of days. The thick fog enveloping Mt Beimang could be viewed by everyone from Luo Cheng who was on high ground.

It was like a huge dreamland over there. Although everyone kept mentioning the increase in magical energy, no one actually saw it physically before. No one expected to actually see such a weird sighting within their lifetime.

This gigantic weird sighting was the best example to substantiate the increasing magical energy in the world.

The bottom of the mountain was already cordoned off by some defense teams, and teams were still relentlessly flowing over. Even common citizens wanted to go over to look, but they could not get near.

At this moment, many parents, from Luo Cheng and elsewhere, were gathered here.

Previously, when daoyuan cla.s.s a.s.sembled all of their students from Yuzhou here, their parents had questioned the school when their children did not return for a long time. Only then did they know of such an event.

So more and more worried parents arrived, afraid that something unprecedented would happen to their child.

They didn’t think there’d be problems initially, but as time dragged on, their optimism in their hearts started to fade.

Because of these parents, all of Luo Cheng’s hotels were bustling.

The parents waited here in the morning and left in dejection at night.

Incidents of parents squabbling with those securing the area didn’t happen just once or twice as their feelings increasingly got the better of them.

Everyone knew of Luo Cheng’s ancient remains through the golden foundation’s website. The information on the previous remains was not released back then as it was merely the beginning of the magical era and people had not gotten used to the change in the world.

Now that everyone had slowly accepted all these events, they could release information regarding the ancient remains.

Everyone was paying attention to the incidents at Luo Cheng’s ancient remains. Many people went to the golden foundation’s website daily to see the state of the ancient remains, if it was still there.

More and more information on the remains were leaked out and even the term ‘relic’ was common information.

Information on the huge battle at Laos at the start of the year was also leaked and the thought of experts from tens of countries battling for a relic was indeed jaw-dropping.

This was such a glorious era!

But some people also realized that since Luo Cheng’s remains opened, it wasn’t as chaotic as what happened in Laos. What happened? Did everyone suddenly become courteous and gentlemanly?

And those experts who had the notion of invading the remains this time all had their own opinions and kept their silence.

…

On that night, parents were just leaving when suddenly someone shouted, “The huge fog is fading! The huge fog is fading!”

Everyone turned around immediately. The huge fog was indeed fading rapidly and all of the parents turned back towards the mountain frantically. Those who could get a cab got a cab while the rest counted on their legs.

They had not seen their children for too many days and it was hard for bystanders to understand this feeling the parents had for their children.

At this moment, in the military base on the peak of Mt Beimang, everyone had returned to this world… including those who died during this foray into the remains.

Everyone was at the military base in the position where they were running away from the fog initially. Next to Lu Shu was Jiang Shuyi and beside Jiang Shuyi were the other daoyuan students from Luo Cheng.

At this moment, everyone saw this familiar sight and the familiar students beside themselves in tattered clothes and dirty faces.

A sort of relief started to form in their hearts. It was like a movie, where everyone had been left at the sea for who knows how many days without anything to eat or drink. But one day, they finally saw land after days of being stuck!

That land represented a new life!

Some people suddenly sat down wailing. Some people had the will to console their cla.s.smates but as they consoled, they themselves started weeping as well. While some others sat on the floor and started cheering, they had finally gotten salvation!

Cheers and cries echoed from the military base and Lu Shu and Jiang Shuyi exchanged glances. Neither of them said anything. In truth, they were better off compared to the rest as they did not suffer much inside.

Lu Shu suddenly saw a familiar figure – Liu Li!

He was still in a state of shock, holding onto two green fruits and squatting on the floor with a bruised and swollen face. It seemed like he was pelted with rocks by the squirrels…

Lu Shu felt strange. He didn’t expect Liu Li to survive, but seeing a familiar face alive, no matter their relations, Lu Shu felt good.

Under this tense atmosphere, full of wailing, Lu Shu looked at his surroundings.

In the sea of cries, Lu Shu carried his five spears and stood upright, all of his watches and gold chains standing out.

Apart from his outfit, his complexion stood out from the rest.

This sort of feeling was like doing a multiple choice question: from the answers below, choose one which stands out.

Yup, this was a giveaway.

But the surrounding students did not have the capacity to notice Lu Shu anymore. Everything started settling in after expressing their emotions. They did not know what to do and did not know what to say. This was the real reaction they should have after surviving this ordeal.
