Lu Shu sent a mixed feeling of helplessness towards the Norse gods. After all, they were still allies, right? If these allied forces had some resentment toward him and pulled pranks on him, that was understandable.

"Lu Shu, you've changed," Little Yu said as he added wood to the campfire. Previously, Lu Shu would never have tolerated such treatment; now, however, being tricked by a Norse god could make him endure it?

Little Yu knew why!

"Cough, cough," Lu Shu turned his head toward the white woman: "Where were we just now? Did you all want to fight me? Hurry up and do it."

At this moment, both the cultivators and the white woman seemed intimidated. Lu Shu suddenly understood that they indeed targeted him, but perhaps did not know his true identity. If they knew he was a Grandmaster, they would surely run as far away as possible.

The white woman smiled: "I just wanted to shake your hand; there's no other meaning."

So, you're not so brave after all, Lu Shu thought with a mix of amusement and frustration. But the way these people approached earlier clearly indicated their intention was against him!

Lu Shu suddenly felt puzzled. If this group wasn't suicide squad or slaves, why did these small fish target him?! According to other cultivators, they were still bandits; why would anyone target him?

"Why did you all attack me just now?" Lu Shu asked bluntly.

"Some people spread rumors that you are a scumbag who exploits others' emotions for personal gain," someone from the elite sect cautiously said.

"Who exploited whose emotions?" Lu Shu was annoyed. "Who's spreading this kind of information?!"

The members of the elite sect almost wept: "We don't know; just people saying there are four Asian cultivators in this camp and describing your attire… They told us online, and we set up a website to help ordinary cultivators fight against evil forces…"

I've become an evil force already? Lu Shu thought for a while. Suddenly, he felt like it might be his cousin Carlos who was behind this!

The tension continued as Lu Shu frowned. Perhaps his nerves were too tightly wound?

Lu Shu suddenly turned to Xiao Xiong, asking: "Can you make everyone fall into an unconscious sleep? How big of an area can you create a dream?"

He realized that now might be the time for someone in the vicinity to hide because using Xiao Xiong's dreams might help find this person!

Dreams wouldn't harm innocent people but could have unexpected effects.

Earlier, Lu Shu had thought about how Xiao Xiong's dream abilities would come in handy someday. From his small backpack, Xiao Xiong took out a notebook and wrote: "Can only affect an area of two kilometers now."

"Just that much?" asked Lu Shu.

"Negative emotion value from Xiao Xiong +777!"

Xiao Xiong felt hurt by Lu Shu's shocked expression.

"Haha, I messed up," Lu Shu quickly apologized. He remembered that the team’s weak link wasn't a Grade One cultivator but Xiao Xiong, still at Stage Two.

Last time he gave Xiao Xiong two Essence-Clarifying Fruits; surprisingly, it was far from enough for him to advance to Stage One.

"Hey," Lu Shu suddenly asked: "You’re not human, so when you reach Stage One, do you also have a celestial phenomenon? Could it put everyone within ten miles to sleep, or would there be an even larger range?"
