Chapter 369: Plundering the Treasury
Tsuki Clan.
As Tsukimaki Kouraku was slain by the two strikes of Moonshadow, Li Wu finally felt a sense of relief, but he couldn't help but exclaim, "It's not easy at all!"
Indeed, it wasn't easy.
Although it seemed like Li Wu had outsmarted Tsukimaki Kouraku in a matter of moments, the success of this plan was largely due to luck.
If it weren't for Li Wu's encounter with an Agent of the Zero Organization half a month ago, from whom he collected a large amount of evil aura.
If it weren't for the fact that Xing Zhanlong happened to have a tool that could store three strikes of Moonshadow.
If it weren't for Tsukimura Kouraku's overconfidence and obsession with Divine Sword Technique, it would have been hard to say whether Li Wu could have taken him down.
After all, Li Wu had seen the attributes of his opponent.
Many things about him made Li Wu extremely cautious.
For instance, the Fire God Strike, the talent for dual strikes, and the dormant Divine Artifact.
If all of these were unleashed...
Li Wu truly didn't have much confidence in defeating him.
Even with Xing Zhanlong by his side, it wouldn't make a difference.
Speaking of Xing Zhanlong, at this moment, he was keeping a close eye on Li Wu.
Li Wu's heart, which had been hanging by a thread, finally found some peace. But his heart was far from calm.
After all, Muramasa was still in Li Wu's hands, and Dokushima Rinjo's injuries had not yet healed.
How could his heart be at ease in such a situation? On top of that, the cunning and methods Li Wu had just displayed made him particularly vigilant.
He was self-aware enough to know that if someone could outsmart even an Epic-level summoner like Tsukimaki Kouraku, then outsmarting him would be like selling his brain and having to count the money for the buyer.
Fortunately, Li Wu had no intention of selling him out.
"Thanks, I'll take care of this matter for you."
With Tsukimaki Kouraku dealt with, Li Wu turned his attention to the Muramasa in his hand.
At the same time, he attached the Celestial Cloud Sword to it.
The Sovereign of Artifacts skill erupted, slowly absorbing the power of Muramasa into the Celestial Cloud Sword.
During this process, the aura of Muramasa visibly weakened.
In less than half an hour, Muramasa's aura dropped to the Elite level, while the Celestial Cloud Sword in Li Wu's hand, which had just unleashed the Divine Sword Technique, recovered from its weakened state and even surpassed its previous level, reaching the 2-Star Lord standard."
"It's done. It no longer has the power to cause trouble, and your goddess won't face the danger of backlash anymore."
After dealing with this, Li Wu casually tossed Muramasa to Xing Zhanlong.
This swift and decisive series of actions left Xing Zhanlong a bit dazed.
It seemed he hadn't expected Li Wu to resolve the issue so easily, and as he watched Li Wu throw Muramasa to him and then attend to his own matters, the easily swayed Xing Zhanlong still hadn't realized that he had been used by Li Wu just moments ago.
He couldn't help but think that perhaps Li Wu wasn't such a bad person after all.
As for Li Wu, after dealing with Muramasa, he first went to collect the body of Tsukimaki Kouraku, who had been slashed into four pieces, and his Flowing Blade of Fire.
These were valuable items for Li Wu.
Tsukimura Kouraku's body still contained a large amount of energy, which Li Wu could absorb and refine within himself.
The Flowing Blade of Fire was an Epic-level Divine Artifact, originally dormant and further weakened due to Tsukimura Kouraku's death.
This was the perfect supplement for the Celestial Cloud Sword.
Li Wu's grasp, he might be able to elevate the Celestial Cloud Sword to the Archmage level, which would further enhance his strength.
After collecting these two items, Li Wu captured a surviving member of the Tsuki Clan and had them lead him to Tsuki Akari.
Old Tsukimura hadn't hidden Tsuki Akari too well.
So, Li Wu soon found himself in front of Tsuki Akari.
However, her condition wasn't good.
Li Wu found her lying in a coffin of ice.
By Tsuki Akari's side was an elderly person, more severely injured than her, and this person was none other than the Grandmother.
The Grandmother's expression changed upon seeing Li Wu approach.
"How did you get here? What happened outside just now..."
"I was plotting against Old Tsukimura, and luckily, I succeeded. He's dead."
Li Wu responded casually, leaving the Grandmother stunned.
He took a step forward, approaching the coffin where Tsuki Akari lay.
Through the ice coffin, Li Wu could see that Tsuki Akari's injuries had mostly healed over the past one or two months. At least, they appeared to have healed. The massive penetrating wound on her abdomen was gone, and half of her body had recovered.
She looked unharmed, but she hadn't awakened, and Li Wu couldn't sense much life force within her.
Lu Wu examined Tsukimiko's attribute panel, and the status displayed was one of deep slumber.
This caused Lu Wu's brows to furrow slightly.
"What's going on with her?"
Lu Wu's question snapped Granny out of her shock.
Looking at Lu Wu, who had opened his mouth several times as if to ask if what he said was true, she finally turned her gaze to Tsuki Akari: "The young mistress's injuries from the past one or two months have been mostly healed, but she just can't wake up.
For this, Tsukimaki Kouraku specifically asked Master Han to examine the young mistress. Master Han said that the young mistress's coma is not due to physical reasons but mental ones."
Master Han was the very dark summoner Lu Wu had just slashed with his sword.
Although he was a dark summoner, he was quite skilled in this regard.
Unfortunately, Lu Wu had cut him down.
Lu Wu felt a bit regretful for being too heavy-handed. If he had known that Tsuki Akari was in this state, he would have spared him.
"Did he not offer a solution?"
In the 1619 book bar, Lu Wu saw a wrong version!
Granny replied, "He said that for this kind of problem, others can't do anything. It's up to the young mistress's own luck."
Well, if keeping him alive wouldn't have helped, then killing him wasn't unjustified.
Lu Wu shook his head, casting aside these messy thoughts.
He said to Granny, "Let's put aside the matter of Akari's coma for now.
I just managed to kill Tsukimaki Kouraku with the help of Xing Zhanlong from Zone 1.
The commotion we caused was quite loud, and this news won't stay hidden for long.
Once it spreads, the Tsuki Clan will definitely be in chaos again, and who knows how many people will come. We must leave the Tsuki Clan before others arrive."
After all, the next arrivals might be epic-level powerhouses.
Lu Wu didn't want to be a prisoner again.
Granny nodded vigorously.
"I'll pack up, and we'll leave right away!"
"Wait, we still have some time. Before we go, let's move the Tsuki Clan's treasury first."
Lu Wu hadn't forgotten about this.
Granny didn't find it inappropriate either. The Tsuki Clan's treasury originally belonged to Tsuki Akari, so it was only natural for her to take it with her when she left.
The two immediately sprang into action. Lu Wu carried Tsuki Akari's ice coffin, and they rushed straight to the Tsuki Clan's treasury.
Lu Wu had been here before, albeit when he was unconscious, but it didn't matter as Granny knew the way.
Under Granny's guidance, Lu Wu easily found the Tsuki Clan's treasury.
The key to opening the Tsuki Clan's treasury was on Tsukimaki Kouraku's body.
Lu Wu spent some effort searching Tsukimaki Kouraku's corpse and found the key. He and Granny rushed into the treasury as soon as it was unlocked.
Due to the time constraint, Lu Wu didn't bother looking around. He directly sought out some sheets and began frantically gathering everything inside the treasury.
After packing up all the remaining legendary and above items in the treasury, Lu Wu and Granny fled the Tsuki Clan with Tsuki Akari.
As they left, Lu Wu smashed the Tsuki Clan's dungeon.
He released the Sakura Family members held captive there.
Initially, Lu Wu had intended to escort them back.
But upon second thought, with Tsukimaki Kouraku's death, the Tsuki Clan was essentially disbanded, and no one would care about the Sakura Family anymore.
Instead, Lu Wu's side was in a precarious situation.
If the Sakura Family didn't contact him, it might be fine, but if they did, who knew what would happen.
So, Lu Wu decided not to meet with the Sakura Family.
After leaving the Tsuki Clan, Lu Wu wasted no time and immediately fled with Granny, Tsuki Akari, and the Tsuki Clan's accumulated resources from over a century. He rushed out of Zone 11 at top speed.
Lu Wu didn't want to stay in this broken place for another moment.
Lu Wu's escape went quite smoothly.
The news about the Tsuki Clan spread slowly.
Although the fight was intense, few knew about Tsukimaki Kouraku's death.
Additionally, Lu Wu had someone to take the blame.
After returning Muramasa to Xing Zhanlong, Xing Zhanlong's attention was entirely focused on Dokushima Rinjo.
He didn't bother with Lu Wu or the Tsuki Clan matters at all.
It wasn't until he finished treating Dokushima Rinjo's injuries that he realized Lu Wu had already fled, and the entire Tsuki Clan was in disarray.
The news of Tsukimaki Kouraku's death also spread, and the remaining six major forces in Zone 11 arrived.
Poor Xing Zhanlong was caught unprepared and surrounded by the six major forces.
When they questioned him about why he killed Tsukimaki Kouraku and took the Tsuki Clan's resources, Xing Zhanlong deeply understood what kind of 'good person' Lu Wu was...
