Cultivating Through The Game

Although Sha U Djed and him are typically at odds, he never dared to confront him directly and only dared to use minor tactics in secret, doing little things to disgust him in inconsequential places.

Today, Sha U Djed surprisingly had the guts to meet his gaze and even retorted, leaving him feeling utterly incredulous.

He couldn't help but suspect whether Sha U Djed had gained some benefit from High Priest Shaqian, resulting in boosted strength and inflated ego.

Among the Sha envoys, he was the strongest, but still much weaker compared to the High Priest.

In the corridor of the underground palace, Sha Eoluoyi encountered Sha Lan, a fellow Sha envoy. Sha Lan was also under High Priest Shaqian, but she had a pretty good relationship with Sha Eoluoyi.

After Sha U Djed climbed up to High Priest Shaqian, he became arrogant and looked down on other Sha envoys. Later, when he met Sha Eoluoyi, he was taught a harsh lesson and became honest.

Thus, a grudge formed between the two, not because of High Priest Shaqian, but Sha Eoluoyi was just at odds with Sha U Djed.

Sha Eoluoyi greeted Sha Lan, asking, "Do you know what Sha U Djed has been doing lately?"

Sha Lan looked at Sha Eoluoyi with some confusion and shook her head, saying, "I'm not sure. Hasn't he been with you overseeing the construction of the 'wall' recently?"

"Really?" Sha Eoluoyi touched the back of his head, looked at Sha Lan, and smiled, "Want to go to Black Sand City for a drink tonight? My treat."

"Sorry, I have something tonight, can't go out," Sha Lan said.

"Alright then." Sha Eoluoyi said with some disappointment.

After a brief conversation, they parted ways in the corridor. Sha Lan walked toward the depths of the underground palace. Passing by the stone chamber, she glanced inside, paying more attention to Sha U Djed's figure.

She unexpectedly discovered that Sha U Djed was not in the stone chamber overseeing the construction of the 'wall' and had disappeared somewhere unknown.

Sha Lan thought for a moment and decided not to meddle. Her relationship with Sha U Djed wasn't that good, at most just colleagues.

At this time, "Sha U Djed" was wandering around the underground palace of the Sand King's Hall, taking advantage of the identity of a Sha envoy to move more conveniently within the underground palace.

At the very least, when the members of the Sand King's Hall saw Lu Yu, their first reaction was to salute, not thinking about who he was, greatly reducing the possibility of exposure.

However, by comparison, there was also danger. When encountering other Sha envoys, it would be easier for problems to arise.

From the previous reaction of Sha Eoluoyi, it could be seen that the Sha envoys could distinguish each other's identity through characteristics. Lu Yu wasn't clear on what features were used to identify "Sha U Djed."

Furthermore, he was also unsure of Sha U Djed's circle of friends. If he encountered acquaintances, it could easily lead to exposure.

Therefore, Lu Yu tried hard to avoid meeting other Sha envoys. Either he would turn around and leave when he saw someone from afar, or he would use earth escape to walk through walls and hide.

"Sha U Djed."

A young voice sounded, and Lu Yu secretly thought it was not a good sign. Just by listening to the voice, Lu Yu knew the caller must be very familiar with Sha U Djed, otherwise, he wouldn't call so intimately.

Lu Yu didn't turn back and quickly left, not wanting to expose his identity.

Sha Tong saw that Lu Yu didn't respond to him but instead accelerated away, so he hurriedly chased after, thinking that Sha U Djed hadn't heard his call.

"Sha U Djed, wait for me," Sha Tong called out as he chased.

Lu Yu turned into another corridor and disappeared from Sha Tong's sight. When Sha Tong reached the intersection of the corridors, he stopped, looking curiously at the empty corridor in front.

He clearly saw Sha U Djed enter here, but where was he?

With a face full of confusion, Sha Tong left the intersection. He couldn't figure out why Sha U Djed wanted to avoid him.

From Sha U Djed's actions, Sha Tong realized that he had heard his call. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for him to accelerate again on the second call.

The gray stone wall swayed like water waves, and Lu Yu walked out from inside, glanced at the left intersection, and marked it as a danger zone.

There were acquaintances of Sha U Djed here, so he couldn't operate in this area.

Having almost fully explored the underground palace's environment, Lu Yu headed towards Xue Ming's direction. He initially investigated the Iron Tomb to find the person who falsely accused him.

Resolving Xue Ming was his original intention, and dismantling the Iron Tomb was just a necessary development. Currently, his relationship with the Iron Tomb was already irreconcilable.

He wasn't temporarily able to deal with the Ashura demon, so first solving Xue Ming would allow Lu Yu to advance or retreat.

With resolution, the revenge would be settled. The purpose of this trip to the Western desert would be achieved, so it was not a pity.

Of course, if he could gain some extra spoils before leaving, he would be very willing.
