Chapter 994 - 741: The Most Shameless Thief! (Part 3)
Lu Xiao shook his head. "Of course it’s not that simple."
Shen Tang was just about to listen on when Lu Xiao suddenly asked her instead, "Tangtang, how much do you know about the Hand of Creation now?"
Shen Tang thought carefully. After more than half a year on Eris Star, her once vague idea of the Hand of Creation had grown clearer and clearer.
—They pretend to be the Divine Hall, using the banner of charitable aid to suck the blood of the bottom-dwelling commoners, and in turn make the commoners work themselves to death for them, becoming their most loyal believers.
And the Hand of Creation is also tightly bound to all the major upper echelons.
The Moon Wolf Clan, the Ghost Snake Clan, all the major Ancient Clans work closely with them, and even the Parasite Clan has thrown itself completely under their banner, becoming their claws and fangs.
She told Lu Xiao all this information.
Lu Xiao also shared with her some of the inside stories he’d uncovered during this period.
The two of them reviewed and integrated all the intel, and came up with a bold hypothesis.
Once this hypothesis emerged, many things that had puzzled them seemed to instantly click into place; a lot suddenly made sense.
"The reason the Hand of Creation’s technology is so powerful is because they’re stealing and plundering the abilities of every race wherever they go..." Lu Xiao’s voice grew colder and colder. "The Parasite Clan Mother Tree’s Life Force, the Blood Clan’s blood, all races’ superpowers, the Horned Eagle Clan’s ability to control others... The genes of all strong beings from every race have become their gene bank."
They had no proof yet; it was only an initial guess.
But as the fog began to lift, the truth seemed to be surfacing bit by bit.
Shen Tang was so shocked she couldn’t speak.
If this speculation was true, then the Hand of Creation was downright despicable!
They packaged themselves as a Divine Hall worshipped by millions, yet in reality they were the most shameless thieves!
One day, when the people of Eris Star learn the truth, she can’t imagine how much they’ll hate them.
Shen Tang wished she could expose their true faces right now.
Unfortunately, they still didn’t have the power to stand against them.
"Right, where’s Yin Zhou? How is he now?" Lu Xiao hadn’t seen him.
Shen Tang said, "On the way here I sent him into Space. He should be asleep now."
In the Ghost Snake Clan, aside from the Family Head Xue Xiaoyuan, there were many other experts; even quite a few secluded old ancestors all coveted the Bone of Devouring.
Too many powerhouses were hiding in the dark.
Xiao Xue hadn’t fully recovered yet after all; Shen Tang didn’t want him to be too exposed, so she had him go into Space to rest first.
She also used spiritual power to put him to sleep for a while. She’d wake him when he recovered.
Lu Xiao asked, "Where do you want to go?"
Last time Shen Tang left, she’d intended to head somewhere else, but came back midway to save him and got delayed.
"I... I want to go check out the Water Clan. Liu Ye might be there. I want to look for him."
It had been a long time since he’d heard that name. Lu Xiao froze for a moment, a rush of memories surfacing.
Seeing the female looking so dejected and hurt, his heart squeezed along with hers.
He knew that ever since Jia Lan left, Shen Tang had kept thinking about him, and she’d never stopped searching for Liu Ye.
Now that she finally had some clue about his whereabouts, of course she had to go find him.
"Don’t worry, we’ll definitely find him. I’ll go with you." Lu Xiao gently touched her face in comfort.
"Mm." With Lu Xiao accompanying her, Shen Tang suddenly felt much more at ease.
She liked the days with him by her side.
Lu Xiao opened the Light Computer bracelet and checked the map. "We’ve got one good piece of news and one bad piece."
Shen Tang asked, "What’s the good news?"
Lu Xiao said, "By accident, we’re already close to the Water Clan border. We’re only a few hundred kilometers from the frontier. With me carrying you, we can fly there in less than half a day."
The Water Clan controlled the largest territory on the planet. Thanks to its unique geographic position, it completely blocked the spread of the Parasite Clan.
The bad news was—
"We’re still on Parasite Clan turf. Even though this is the border, there’s still a chance we’ll be discovered."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless thick vines suddenly burst out of the ground and lunged at them.
Shen Tang instantly sliced the vines apart with Ice Blades, and Lu Xiao immediately shifted into beast form, carrying her as he took off.
The vines chased right after them.
They could grow dozens of meters, even over a hundred meters high.
With a flap of Lu Xiao’s wings, countless Wind Blades shining with golden light appeared, slicing all the vines apart, then his figure vanished into the clouds.
...
On the other side, Xiao Jin and the Big Boss Mo Yan were locked in a fierce, evenly matched fight.
In the end, when Mo Yan realized he really couldn’t win, he directly pulled out a Hidden Weapon with feathers at the tail, and stabbed it into Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin only felt his superpower start to drain away, his movements slowing.
Several auras suddenly rose up around them—Death Warriors trained by the City Lord, all terrifyingly strong—charging straight at Xiao Jin to attack.
Xiao Jin hurriedly used the Space Ability Shen Tang had given him. His figure vanished in a flash, and their strikes hit nothing but air.
