Chapter 832
Chapter 832: Santa Maria
The frightened crowd dared not even make a sound as they stared at Xiao Luo and Lu De in both awe and trepidation. Even someone as righteous and unyielding as Mr. Lu De had to bow and bend his knee before this mighty fighter. Strength was the ultimate power in this world.
“I flatter you?”
Xiao Luo raised an eyebrow as he scoffed at Lu De. He asked mockingly, “Do you think I am praising you?”
Lu De started sweating profusely from nervousness. With a sad smile, he reluctantly said, “Young One, the Time-Space Bracelet belongs to you now. There is no need to go any further.”
“Mr. Lu De, give us your orders. We will fight him to the end!” the grumpy Lu Yang shouted out. He felt upset to see Lu De in such a humiliating situation.
Fight the young man?
How were we supposed to fight him? With the manhood in our pants?
Lu De scowled at Lu Yang. Could he still not assess the situation they were in? The young man was literally a god. Even if the Clan Lord who was presently in seclusion were to come out, it would not make any difference. If they provoked the young man, what could they do if he slaughtered the entire dwarven race?
In a calm voice, Lu De said, “Elder Lu Yang, please stand down and remain silent.”
Lu Yang was still seething from his thrashing. He continued to protest and said, “We represent righteousness, and he is evil. Since the beginning of time, evil has never triumphed against the righteous. As long as we stand united, we will defeat him. Mr. Lu De, I urge you to reconsider. We must not allow a demon to deter us from doing what we know is right. We cannot suffer such humiliation and allow him to meddle with the scales of justice. We have to fight him—we must not be afraid of any sacrifice. We have to fight till the very end for the sake of law and order. We may have wavered earlier, but righteousness always prevails!”
Words flowed from his mouth with the passion of a poet, and like a flowing river, he gushed eloquently.
The more Lu De listened to him, the more anxious he became, and in the end, he could not endure it any longer. In exasperation, he bellowed, “Shut up! Just f*cking shut up!”
Lu Yang was taken aback by such strong language coming from Lu De. Bewildered, he muttered, “Mr. Lu De…”
“Stop calling my name, you dumb pig! What did you just say? Prevent him from destroying the scales of justice? What qualifies you to uphold justice with the level of skill you have? You damn b*stard, can you not gauge the situation we are in now? Are you only going to stop after you have pushed the entire dwarven race down into a dark hole? Fight? Fight on your darn a*s! The man over there can annihilate you with one hand! Is it so hard to shut your d*mn mouth, huh?” Lu De snapped. His harsh words were filled with expletives as he splattered his saliva all over when he spoke. At this point, Lu De appeared like a broken old man.
“Gasp!”
Everyone held their breath for Lu De’s behavior surprised them. Who would have imagined that Mr. Lu De, who had always been an exemplar of advocating justice and ethics, would swear in such a way? It was simply unexpected.
“Woah, Gramps looks pissed!” Ghost giggled.
Duck Emperor sniggered and said, “The old geezer must be absolutely stressed his sheet out. Otherwise, he would never forget his manners like this.”
“Sheet?” Ghost asked, somewhat confused.
Duck Emperor rolled his eyes up and said, “Sh*t, girt, sh*t. How uncultured of you to not be familiar with homophones.”
Ghost knitted her eyebrows and said, “Ew, you are disgusting!”
Once Lu De lost his cool, Lu Yang dared not to utter a word. The other Dwarven Elders sheepishly remained silent as well. Everyone at the badly damaged square fell into dead silence.
“Nice one, geezer. You have quite the prestige in your clan,” Xiao Luo said, impressed with the power of command Lu De had over his Dwarven clan.
Lu De immediately put a smile on his face and shook his head. He humbly replied, “You flatter me, Young One!”
“Cut the crap. Now, tell me how to use this Time-Space Bracelet,” Xiao Luo asked directly, lest the geezer kept rambling on about useless stuff.
Lu De’s mind was only on the survival of the dwarven race. The young man standing before him was a devil who could kill without blinking his eyes. If this devil wanted trouble with them, he could annihilate the entire dwarven race. Hence, Lu De’s only option was to humble himself.
“First, drip your blood on it so it recognizes you as its owner. Then put it on your wrist, and all the locations marked and recorded in the Time-Space Bracelet will appear in your mind. You merely need to prompt your mind to the location you wish to go, and it will take you there.”
Following what he said, Xiao Luo had the Time-Space Bracelet to recognize him as its owner and put it on his wrist.
Sure enough, the names of almost 10 thousand locations appeared in his mind. It included the Baiyue Nation, Mu City, Stan City, and the Forest of the Infinity Edge of Ziyue Cave Heaven. With the Time-Space Bracelet, Xiao Luo could go to any of those places in the blink of an eye.
He felt a strong urge to curse. If only he had the god weapon earlier on, he could have saved the time spent on so many unnecessary trips.
He ran through the names of the places, and then he frowned. He asked Lu De, “Why is the Holy Land of the Light Clan not listed?”
Holy Land of the Light Clan?
As soon as they heard him, there was a drone of hushed voices whispering in the crowd. They wondered why the young man would want to go to the Light Clan’s holy land. They questioned his motive for going to the residence of the Light Clan who ruled over Arcana Land.
Lu De had his age-old eyes wide open as he looked at Xiao Luo in disbelief. “You… you wish to go to the Light Clan’s holy land?” he asked.
Xiao Luo glanced at him and replied indifferently, “Can I not?”
“Of course, you can. I am just asking out of curiosity,” answered Lu De with a smile. In his mind, he was secretly wondering if the powerful young man could somehow have some connection with the Light Clan.
“Did the Time-Space Bracelet not leave its mark at the Light Clan’s holy land?” asked Xiao Luo as his eyelids twitched in his anxiety. If all the efforts he took to own the god weapon were in vain, he felt like killing someone.
Lu De hurriedly explained, “That is not it. There is an enchantment in the holy land. Unless you are a one of the Light Clan, no one else can enter the Light Clan’s holy land.”
“Are you saying that this Time-Space Bracelet cannot take me to the holy land at all?” asked Xiao Luo. His eyes suddenly widened with anger.
Lu De shuddered and hurriedly answered, “It… it might not take you directly to the holy land. But it can take you to the City of Santa Maria, which is beneath it. In the sky above Santa Maria lies the Holy Land of the Light Clan.”
The City of Santa Maria?
Xiao Luo ran through the names of places in his mind, and sure enough, he found the City of Santa Maria.
“I guess there should not be a problem if I bring an extra person and a duck with me?” asked Xiao Luo.
“Your True Inner Force will fuel the energy used to traverse across space. The more powerful the bracelet’s owner is, the more people it can carry across. With your power level, even a large group of people should be no issue,” Lu De answered truthfully, not daring to lie even the slightest.
“Good. You dwarves have done me a great favor. When I have the chance in the future, I will return the favor to you,” said Xiao Luo graciously. At that moment, Xiao Luo was full of joy.
After saying that, he promptly walked over to Ghost, pulled out the Dragon Saber, and had a look at Duck Emperor, who had almost fully recovered. He registered the location in his mind, and the Time-Space Bracelet sprouted a green light. The luminous light engulfed him, Ghost, and Duck Emperor. In an instant, the two humans and the duck disappeared into thin air.
“Phew!”
After watching Xiao Luo depart, Lu De sighed in relief. He slumped down wearily on the ground like a puddle of slime, and muttered, “The God of Calamity has gone… at last.”
