Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 1267: Take A Gamble

Sun Xunwen’s greeting was unexpected by everyone. Song Changying, who was unaware of everything might be confused, but even Lu Shu who was aware was extremely confused.

Lu Shu asked, “Do you know what you are saying?”

He did not understand how Sun Xunwen figured out the truth?

“I remember Sir Zhang Weiyu. I have recognized Sir Zhang since the spy from my Sun family sent his drawing to the family,” said Sun Xunwen, “We have especially sent the painter to Nangeng City to question the relatives of the Wei Wu Army. I did not expect to take advantage of that.”

Sun Xunwen admitted that he had known Lu Shu’s identity beforehand so as to stop Lu Shu’s suspicion. That was because Sun Xunwen’s attitude was too determined and it might not be good.

His logic was similar to Liu Yizhao’s. Would Zhang Weiyu be loyal to anyone else other than the King of Gods? After all, was Zhang Weiyu’s presence in the Wei Wu Army not enough evidence?

In fact, Zhang Weiyu had not thought about it as thoroughly as Sun Xunwen…

At this moment, Song Changying was the most confused. When he heard Zhang Weiyu’s name, he thought it sounded familiar. After two seconds, he knew who Sun Xunwen was referring to.

As the commander of the Imperial Palace Soldiers, Zhang Weiyu had heard of every disciple. Moreover, the event that took place 23 years ago had shaken the entire palace. Song Changying was not foolish. The only reason he did not manage to react immediately was because of the long lapse in time.

Yet now, he acted as though he had become aware of a huge surprising secret. A sense of fear spread in his body and went deep into his bones!

The practitioners behind him stayed more than 100 meters away, similar to the Sun family.

Nobody else knew about the secret. Song Changying suddenly felt that the world had changed. The person who ruled for 3000 years in the Luniverse had returned. He did not die!

However, at this moment, he realized that Lu Shu might not allow him to survive since he now knew the secret.

At this moment, Song Changying turned and ran. After a few steps, he realized that he was too slow and decided to fly. However, before he could do that, Sun Xunwen blocked him.

Sun Xunwen slapped down on Song Changying and it felt as heavy as a mountain. He spat out a tiny turtle shell from his mouth. The turtle shell had always been hidden below his tongue as a treasure to save his life.

The turtle shell expanded instantly after it left his mouth. However, Sun Xunwen’s hand slammed on the turtle shell without a pause. Song Changying saw the turtle shell break apart with his own eyes. Time seemed to have stopped as Sun Xunwen’s slender palm passed through the pieces and hit Song Changying’s head.

With a slap, Song Changying collapsed to the ground.

Although the practitioners of the Song family saw everything, it happened so quickly that they did not have the time to save Song Changying.

Moreover, at this moment, they were only thinking about fleeing!

With a boom, the ground that the Song family troops were standing on began to collapse. The soil sank into the ground like a waterfall, causing the practitioners who wanted to escape to fall in.

When Sun Xunwen saw this, he narrowed his eyes. He did not know who the person attacking was or where the master was hiding. How did he manage to master the earth-type Metahuman skills like that! Had he been practising it for his entire life?

Sun Xunwen sucked up to Lu Shu because he thought Lu Shu was powerful enough. Sun Xunwen might look loyal but he had already guessed Lu Shu’s identity before the bloody battle on the limestone bricks. However, why didn’t he attack at that time? He thought Lu Shu would die!

Eventually, he regretted it and decided to close his doors as he thought that he was blinded by status.

However, after he opened his doors, Sun Xunwen was not more loyal but instead, he became more charismatic and was no longer fearful. After all, as a wealthy family, he still cared about benefits.

Now, Sun Xunwen was more certain that his choice was correct.

14 families from the wealthy families of the palace came over and only the Sun family was left. The contact between the Song family and the Imperial Dragon Soldiers was Zhao Shuai and Xiao Mingze. Now that both of them had decided to leave, Lu Shu no longer felt anything for the Song family.

Lu Shu asked Zhao Shuai, “Is Xiao Mingze safe?”

Zhao Shuai nodded. “Before I left the palace, I helped him seek refuge. The Song family won’t be able to find him.”

“That’s good.” Lu Shu nodded and turned to look at Sun Xunwen. “If you want the position of the West Lord of Heaven, go ahead and fight for it by yourself. As for how you will perform, I will wait and see.”

Sun Xunwen put his hands together and said, “Rest assured, Lord.”

After he said that, Lu Shu turned and led the Imperial Dragon Soldiers towards the West Region. Sun Xunwen, on the other hand, led the Sun family and followed closely behind. The 10,000 elites he brought with him were loyal soldiers who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the position of the West Lord of Heaven.

When they left, Zhang Weiyu whispered to Lu Shu, “This brat is very sly. He must love his son a lot because he asked about his son after he came. This means that his son is his weakness, and his weakness is in your control. This is the best way to gain his trust.”

Lu Shu smiled and waved his hands. “We don’t have to force everyone to be loyal. I don’t intend to continue taking up the role of the King of Gods after the battle.”

Zhang Weiyu was stunned. He asked, “Do you really dare to give up on the role?”

“Why not?” smiled Lu Shu. “Isn’t the local cuisine good and the mobile games fun? Why must I be the King of Gods?”

Zhang Weiyu was happy. “I will follow you anywhere you go.”

However, at this moment, the low sound of a horn was heard in the West Region. That sound made one very uncomfortable. Zhang Weiyu frowned, “I wonder what this means. What do we do, Great Lord?”

Li Heitan interrupted, “Great Lord, let’s charge in and kill all of them?!”

To Li Heitan, everything could be settled by being rash and strategy was unnecessary.

Lu Shu shook his head. “We should be careful as we are not sure what the situation is.”

Li Heitan was extremely happy when he heard that. He turned and shouted to the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, “Brothers, did you hear that? Great Lord said we can risk it and fight!”

Lu Shu was speechless.

“Hold on.” Lu Shu stopped Li Heitan immediately. “With your literacy level, you are still not planning to do your homework?”

Li Heitan suddenly felt very wronged. He did not know what mistake he had made.

However, before he could ask about it, Duanmu Huangqi’s voice echoed through the sky. “The gates of the city have opened. Duanmu Huangqi is waiting for the Great Lord at the palace in the West Region.”

Nobody expected Duanmu Huangqi to open the city gates at this moment. Moreover, he was still waiting for Lu Shu’s arrival.

However, Duanmu Huangqi had not expected to wait for half a month…

“From Duanmu Huangqi’s distress, +666!”
