Chapter 93 - Giant Cat Threatened "Lu Bu" for Using His Surna Without Permission and Demanded Catnip as Compensation.
Despite arriving at the battlefield late, Lu Potian’s imposing air attracted the attention of every immortal and mortal. Fortunately, he did not exude Saint Qi, which could potentially kill every mortal in the world instantly.
His physical appearance was striking. The saint was five ters tall and muscular. His titan’s muscles held his explosive power and impenetrable defense, capable of easily deflecting karmic weapons. Strangers frequently mistook him for a guardian beastman of the Crescent Lu Clan, due to his lion-like hair, full beard, and large white armor.
Lu Potian observed the aftermath with his Qi sense. He detected the unusual aura of Fu Tong and noticed his firm foundation. At the sa ti, he discovered the elusive Celestial Fox City, even though a concealnt array made it invisible.
It was easy to figure out Yuei Wuxin and Dong Min’s motives. Lu Potion muttered.
"Those idiots must have chased the white foxes to this world, and they ran into one of the exiled princes, I assu."
Lu Potion’s aide, Lu Liekong, who also boasted a 4-ter tall physique, stood behind the lion man. Although he was as muscular as Lu Potion, his neck hunched forward, as though he was a gar or a phone-addicted in his previous life. He fiddled with jade slips in his hands and read the past reports.
"Based on the intelligence departnt, no one has been exiled to this planet. Only a suspicious individual called Lu Bu is supposedly present in the area."
"Have we found the impostor?"
"We have to contact an agent in the area. I think he’s from the 15th inquisitor division, based on his last report and the recent ergency request."
Lu Potian’s eyes narrowed. Dong Min’s alleged treason accusation was raw and baseless, as though the request was out of desperation. Moreover, Lu Potian maintained his belief that a royal mber was involved, as the agent’s call was out of his character.
Still, cleaning up after a major dispute between princes wasn’t unusual. This was Lu Potian’s sixth ti in a hundred years that princes killed each other so blatantly.
From his experience, so incidents were dirty. So were honorable, but not like this.
In this case, it reeked of grand sches and politics, for the involved parties were major clans from the immortal realm. The execution was too rough and too high-profiled for an assassination attempt to steal the crown prince title.
’Must be his first ti in this. Luring Dong Min away from his bodyguards and his main forces was smart, but leaving so many clues is a big blunder. His mother will soon call her brother and mobilize the Xia Clan’s forces here for revenge. This world is pretty much done for... if the suspected prince doesn’t exist.’
If this issue wasn’t tied to an exiled prince, Dong Min’s mother wouldn’t think twice about destroying the planet. However, should the exiled prince reappear, the emperor would strip all authority of Dong Min’s mother. She would be enslaved and forced to serve the new crown prince as a war trophy, according to royal custom.
Lu Potian sighed, hoping soone would appear and declare themselves an exiled prince. That way, his job would be a lot easier.
As Lu Potian was in deep thought, he sensed Lu Liang’s presence and his token. Coincidentally, he was near the mysterious mortal with a strangely firm foundation earlier.
This piqued his curiosity.
Planning to investigate the matter himself, he turned to his aide.
"I’ll be checking on the agent over there. Hand over things for ."
Lu Liekong laughed dryly and nodded. "Please don’t take too long. Managing these ooga-booga immortals is tiring."
"Prepare ’Catnip Wine’ that you always made. I’ll be back shortly."
"Haiya. Patriarch, you can’t beat the cat allegation if you keep drinking that wine!"
"SHUT IT AND MAKE IT FOR !"
Lu Potian cackled and flew toward one of the remaining warships, while Lu Liekong shook his head.

anwhile, Fu Tong stared back at the main battalion of the Crescent Lu Clan. It was far more intimidating in person than watching it online through clips, videos, and gaplay.
Dealing with villains was easy. However, handling the aftermath was another ball ga, especially if a certain mid-ga protagonist suddenly showed up among the Lu Clan’s ranks.
Anticipating trouble, Fu Tong secretly searched the command console for anything usable. He also checked the prices of saint-grade items, particularly bloodline pills.
Upon a prompt, a list of summonable objects and their prices appeared on the screen.
Everything equivalent or under the spirit grade cost nothing. Immortal-grade, mystic-grade, and saint-grade items had a fixed rate of one, two, and three rit coins in order.
’Three coins for a saint-grade item?!’
The last ti Fu Tong summoned the saint-grade item ’Eight Thousand Drops of Purity’, the system gave him a penalty mission, but it rewarded him with two rit coins. The calculation of rewards and missions seed complex and inconsistent.
Still, Fu Tong had no ti to ponder or solve the mystery. He scrolled through the list and fetched a bloodline pill in a hurry.
It had an unpleasant na.
Diluted Abyssal Star Bloodline Pill (Saint-Grade)
- Grant lesser bloodline of Abyssal Star, a cosmic sacred beast dwelling in the lightless void of the sage realm.
As its na implied, the beast was a living star, aka a black hole in disguise. It traveled through space undetected. Whenever one of them revealed itself, it would be too late for that planet. Only sages could defeat these beings.
The first Heavenly Emperor, who unified the immortal realm, was one of the abyssal stars. Unlike his kin, he desired peace and prosperity. Consequently, he befriended many races and created a utopia in the immortal realm.
His descendants, who inherited the Abyssal Star’s worst traits since birth, ruined the paradise. Their self-indulgence tainted his bloodline. Over ti, the royal bloodline weakened, leaving princes and emperors unable to utilize even half the Abyssal Star’s true power.
However, Fu Tong knew how deadly an abyssal star beast was.
One of them served as a late-ga hidden boss if the player managed to find one of the few true ending routes. Fighting a cosmic beast larger than the sun was fun in-ga, but Fu Tong wasn’t confident that he could pull it off in real life.
Thus, he followed a classic motto: If you can’t beat them, join them!
Fu Tong exchanged his hard-earned rit coins for the pill. The item erged in his inventory and instantly deleted his rit coins. Without hesitation, he ejected the pill and put it in his mouth.
The pill dissolved in his stomach instantly, releasing black blood and a worm-like microorganism. It slipped through his stomach’s gaps and entered his blood circulation, swimming against the current and reaching his heart instantly.
Fu Tong gnashed his teeth, ready for impact. Then, his heart clenched so hard that it stopped beating.
A large red number flashed over his head.
- 100,000!
Almost half of his health bar was gone. Fu Tong broke a sweat, as he knew that it was just the start.
As Fu Tong secretly endured the pain and the transformation process, Lu Potian landed in front of him and Lu Liang. The giant towered over the duo and stared at them.
The patriarch’s deep voice resounded in Fu Tong’s mind.
"Are you, by chance, the impostor Lu Bu, or are you an exiled prince?! Or rather, are you both?!"
