Chapter 690: 687, Elder Zhu’s past_1
The news of “A Thousand Cups Unintoxicated” being arrested swiftly spread worldwide, delivered by the spokesperson for the provisional government of Lun Kete.
The public of Skuru received this news with both joy and worry.
They were happy that this Blue Star human was captured before causing trouble, sparing them any losses.
Moreover, information from Blue Star indicated that Su Yu did not come to Skuru Star.
The absence of the big demon king was definitely good news;
However, they worried that if Su Yu hadn’t come, how many other Blue Star humans had?
Did these Blue Star humans have any grand schemes?
To dig deeper into this, the United Government of Skuru went into full operation to investigate how many Blue Star monks had arrived and what they intended to do.
Soon, the results of the investigation were out.
Two hours later, in the Royal Palace of the Raging Sun Empire, the Minister of Intelligence knelt on one knee before the Emperor:
“Your Majesty, according to the data from the ‘Heart Map of Literature’, a total of 12 Blue Star monks were transferred to our planet. Lord Pu Langte has arrested one, and the remaining 11 are currently unaccounted for.”
“12?!” Manina tensed up, “What kind of power do these Blue Star monks possess? Are there any above the seventh level? And what about Cao Cao? Did he come?”
In fact, Su Yu’s arrival is not the most terrifying. The real scare is if Prime Minister Cao Cao came to Skuru Star.
Cao Cao is a true God Level peak powerhouse, almost no one on Skuru Star can stop him.
If such a top power sneaks around planning assassinations, espionage, it would be a huge trouble! The threat would be at least ten times greater than Su Yu!
“Don’t worry for that!” The Minister of Intelligence quickly answered: “We have analyzed the intelligence sent from Blue Star and found that Cao Cao had activity on Blue Star ten minutes ago.
Not only him, but Su Yu and Yang Jian as well.
In my estimation, the ones who have come to our planet are all sixth-level professionals. The Blue Star humans are casting a wide net to catch more fish’. No one above the seventh level has come.”
“Phew —— that’s good.” Listening to the Minister of Intelligence’s reply, Manina breathed a sigh of relief.
If only sixth-level professionals have arrived, the situation is a lot easier to cope with.
Manina instructed the Minister of Intelligence, “Listen, now we issue a red-level wanted order to hunt and search for these Blue Star humans.
An award of one million Solar Yuan is offered for the provision of information confirmed true; killing or capturing one of them will be rewarded with 50 billion Solar Yuan. The warrant takes effect today!”
“Understood, Your Majesty.”
“Also, get ‘Glare’ to track down these Blue Star humans. If they find them, the internal rewards double!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Oh and, one last thing,” Manina propped his chin and said, “If possible, try to capture them alive. That way, we can exchange them for our captives from Blue Star.”
“Understood.” The Minister of Intelligence immediately nodded in response.
…
The arrival of the Blue Star humans caught the attention of all Skuru people around the world.
After Manina’s red warrant was issued, the event was pushed to a climax.
Everyone was discussing where these Blue Star humans could be. Some more capable sixth-level powerhouses had already formed teams, intending to hunt these Blue Star humans for the rewards.
However, two Skuru beings of extremely special status were also paying attention to this matter.
These two Skuru beings were Cindy Doppler, the chairman of the Beak Country and Makadun III, the reigning king of Makadun.
There’s no need to mention Cindy Doppler, she’s a good friend of the Blue Star humans.
She was greatly surprised when she received the news of the “sixth-level Blue Star monk” being arrested and kept an eye on the development of this matter.
Later, she learned from a spy that – a total of 12 Blue Star monks had arrived this time, one of them was arrested and the traces of the other 11 had yet to be found.
Even if she didn’t think too hard, Cindy Doppler knew that one of those 11 would definitely bring the space ring she needed to her.
So she immediately took action, dispatching her confidants to await near Beak City and leave channels for Blue Star humans to enter the city, such as temporarily suspending identity information checks for entering the city.
She also got ready to double down, waiting for the Blue Star monk who would bring the ring while actively sabotaging G2’s spy system like “Glare”, feeding them a lot of false intelligence.
…
The other person was Makadun III, the king of the small country of Makadun.
He is not the real king of Makadun, but Elder Zhu disguised as Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at Skuru Star two months ago, and his actions went smoothly at the time.
He disguised himself as the third prince of Makadun Kingdom and infiltrated the court. None of the royal family saw through his disguise.
Underneath the capital of Makadun Kingdom was a large-scale “Underground Spirit Spring”, where the spiritual energy concentration is hundreds of times higher than the outside world!
Only the direct royal family heirs or those who’ve made significant contributions have the opportunity to enter this spirit spring. Elder Zhu disguised himself as a prince specifically to cultivate and absorb spiritual energy in the Spirit Spring.
He was aware of the things Su Yu and Prime Minister Cao Cao were doing, as these two events shook the entire Skuru Star. Even the poorest beggars on the street were talking about it, let alone him.
But Elder Zhu didn’t plan to emulate and make a big fuss.
Having lived for hundreds of years, he had long lost that competitive spirit. He just wanted to cultivate well. If he remained undiscovered, he would just return on the last day before the deadline.
However, just three days before the deadline, Makadun Kingdom’s sky fell!
The King of Makadun was seriously ill and bedridden all year round, presumably not far from his end.
But at this time, the first prince and second prince couldn’t wait anymore.
The first prince got the covert support of the Raging Sun Empire’s intelligence organization “Glare”, while the second prince got the support of national ministers, tycoons, and large families, both coveting the throne.
At this moment when the old king was nearing his end, the first prince and second prince put pressure on the palace, each intending to seize the throne first and take control.
The troops of the two princes met at the palace gate and engaged in a deadly competition.
This matter was originally unrelated to Elder Zhu. He took the chance to cultivate more in the Spirit Spring and absorb more spiritual energy during this country’s internal strife.
He even made several dozen simple Energy Cans, intending to package the spiritual energy from the spring and take it away. He wanted to bring it back to the Blue Star for young friend Su Yu and the new generation of players to use.
However, to his surprise, he received shocking news —— the two princes had perished together!
Both princes had comparable strength, each controlling countless powerful spiritual weapons.
However, in the final battle, they failed to control the scale of the attack wisely. In the end, both died in a collision of powerful spells and left the world.
