CHAPTER 229: CHAPTER 157: THE HIDDEN DANGER OF THE ASCENSION FACTIONS, DIVINE DISASTER_2

For Lu Sheng, the Zhao Family wasn’t unfamiliar. In the past, they had a fourth-tier Mechanical Transformer to oversee their affairs, enjoying unmatched prestige throughout Qiming City.

Zhao Jiadi even tried to use Yang Meng’s hand to kill him, but unfortunately for him, there was no evidence at the time.

From that moment on, there was already bad blood between Lu Sheng and the Zhao Family.

During the end-of-term exam of the Martial Arts Class, Lu Sheng drove Zhao Jiadi to madness, resulting in an Energy Core overload and self-destruction.

After entering the Tianqi Training Camp, upon returning, he received the news of the death of the fourth-tier Mechanical Transformer of the Zhao Family and Zhao Jiadi’s elder brother, Zhao Tianxing.

With his own breakthrough to the fourth-tier, the Zhao Family’s industries were also handed over to Lu Sheng by the Zhao Family members.

Lu Sheng thought that from that point on, he no longer had much to do with the Zhao Family. Who would have thought... upon returning to Tianqi Star, he would again be entangled with them.

"So... after Zhao Tianxing and his father held the Ascension Ceremony, they didn’t die but instead became a God abomination, hiding beneath the surface of Tianqi Star?"

Lu Sheng rubbed his temples and said.

Chen Moyun nodded.

After a moment of silence, Lu Sheng slowly stood up. "In that case, it must be dealt with sooner or later."

"Let’s go find that person from Tianqi Heavy Industry!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Moyun also stood up and walked out of the secret chamber with Lu Sheng, heading for the surface.

On the way, Lu Sheng voiced his doubts, "Logically, as the Guardian of Tianqi Star and having fifth-tier cultivation, why hasn’t the person from Tianqi Heavy Industry dealt with the Zhao Family’s God abomination himself?"

Chen Moyun let out a sarcastic laugh, "Heh heh heh, you think he dares to handle the God abomination?"

"For us at Star River University, handling a God abomination is no issue, but don’t forget, that person at Tianqi Heavy Industry is a fifth-tier Mechanical Transformer!"

"As a fellow Mechanical Transformer, if he attacks the God abomination, there’s a chance he might catch the eye of the Lord of Ascension, and unable to withstand the pressure, he could become a God abomination himself."

"Although the likelihood is small, after sitting on Tianqi Star for hundreds of years, do you think... he would dare?"

Lu Sheng chuckled, understanding.

The one guarding Tianqi Star has been there for hundreds of years. Even as a fifth-tier Transcendent, he has gradually aged.

Not only has his strength waned, but his courage has also diminished over time.

So... if the Zhao Family’s God abomination hasn’t caused significant damage to Tianqi Star, he probably turns a blind eye, reporting to the Human Federation in hopes of reinforcements.

If there’s no reinforcement, he doesn’t take any risks. If there is, he just lets the reinforcements handle it and enjoys the show from the back.

"These guys..."

Lu Sheng shook his head but remained silent.

Soon, the two arrived at the surface of Tianqi Star and found the Guardian at Tianqi Heavy Industry’s headquarters.

"You two... are you here to deal with the God abomination?"

It was an old man with graying hair. If not for a careful look, one wouldn’t even notice his body had been completely mechanized.

However, this couldn’t be hidden from the fifth-tier Lu Sheng.

And this old man was none other than the current ruler of Tianqi Heavy Industry and Guardian of Tianqi Star, the fifth-tier Mechanical Priest—Wu Shan!

Wu Shan examined Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun, smiling, "I have some impression of you two. You must be the two kids who left Tianqi Star ten years ago."

"For the sake of Tianqi Star, I’ll warn you. That God abomination is not something you two can handle. Report to Star River University and let others deal with it."

"Otherwise, if you accidentally fall into the hands of the God abomination, I won’t be responsible for picking up your bodies!"

Although Wu Shan spoke with a smile, there was a hint of disdain in his words towards Lu Sheng and Chen Moyun.

In Wu Shan’s eyes, even though the two were once top students who got into Star River University within the top ten thousand, ten years have passed... reaching the late fourth-tier already would be the limit.

How could they handle a God abomination with fifth-tier cultivation?

Upon hearing this, Chen Moyun coldly retorted before Lu Sheng could speak, "As the Guardian, you don’t resolve domestic crises but watch as the enemy lives on Tianqi Star for ten years."

"You must be living quite comfortably as a Guardian!"

"Impudent!"

Chen Moyun’s mocking instantly sparked Wu Shan’s anger.

A powerful aura suddenly surged from Wu Shan.

"Back in the day, when I roamed the Celestial Mist Star System, you were still in your mother’s womb! When did it become your turn to lecture me!"

Wu Shan bellowed, and the unique fifth-tier aura immediately pressed towards Chen Moyun and Lu Sheng like a tidal wave, trying to swallow them whole.

However... Lu Sheng stepped forward slightly with one foot.

He shielded Chen Moyun from Wu Shan’s powerful aura. With a flick of his hand, a vine-formed Token appeared in Lu Sheng’s hand.

Upon seeing the Token, Wu Shan’s eyes immediately narrowed.

"This is..."

The Token had the word "Life" inscribed on it and emanated a strong life force.
