Why did Duanmu Huangqi come? Many people probably wanted to know the answer to this question.
Even though Lü Shu was not from Lü Zhou, he had heard that the four Emperors Of Heaven rarely came to Royal City. It seemed that after they were sent out to be Emperor Of Heaven, they no longer had anything to do with Royal City and lived their lives peacefully.
Yet, this time, Duanmu Huangqi had uncharacteristically come to the Imperial City to attend the ceremony of the Sword Hut. Did he have some special purpose?
Lü Shu asked curiously, "How long has it been since Duanmu Huangqi came to Royal City?"
Sun Zhongyang thought for a long time. "I'm afraid it's been more than a hundred years. I'm not sure about the exact time. I wasn't even born then … Why do I feel that you're very nervous?"
"Of course." Why was Lü Shu nervous? Didn't someone say that someone he eliminated was Duanmu Huangqi's illegitimate son? His name seemed to be Duanmu Yun 'ai?!
This was very awkward. While others were still guessing whether Duanmu Huangqi had a special purpose, Lü Shu was already wondering if this was the legendary saying that when the young was beaten, the old appeared. He was here for revenge …
Alright, even if Duanmu Huangqi was not as narrow-minded as Lü Shu imagined, there was still another possibility.
The children of high-level cultivators were hard to come by. Sun Zhongyang's father, Sun Xiuwen, only had this one precious son. Duanmu Huangqi did not seem to have many.
Then, finally, an outstanding son like Duanmu Yun 'ai appeared. Duanmu Huangqi did not care about anything else and directly sent him to Jianlu. He even personally came to Jianlu to attend the ceremony in order to support his son. He was like an old father watching his son play basketball in movies, with a benevolent smile on his face.
In the end, when he came to Royal City, he discovered, eh, where was his son? Where was his eldest son?
If it was anyone else, they would have gone berserk …
Lü Shu really wanted to ask if he could move into the Jianlu in advance since he was already a disciple of the Jianlu.
There was no other reason than that Jianlu was safer …
Lü Shu suddenly said to Sun Zhongyang, "That … I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Remember our agreement, I'll come back in two months to collect the magic artifact armor!"
After finishing his words, Lü Shu turned around and left. Although he didn't kill Duanmu Yun'ai and it was a normal action during the Jianlu Selection, the Emperor Of Heaven didn't need to care about the reason if he wanted to avenge his son.
However, the moment Lü Shu stepped out of the door, he was stunned. He calmly looked at the group of people and horses at the end of the street. The tall horses galloped on the bluestone pavement of Royal City, making loud thumping sounds. Every time the hooves of the horses stepped on the ground, the bluestone pavement would burst into flames for a moment.
To Lv Shu's surprise, he discovered that even the two horses pulling the huge carriage had the energy fluctuations of a Rank-1.
The pedestrians on the street all hid by the side of the street, keeping quiet out of fear. And Lü Shu realized that the other party seemed to be coming for him.
The Emperor Of Heaven's carriage was carried by fierce horses and cloud colts. Many people in Royal City had actually heard of this carriage because it could fly!
And the person sitting in the carriage was undoubtedly Duanmu Huangqi.
Perhaps Lü Shu didn't know what kind of person Duanmu Huangqi was, but the people of Lü Zhou knew him very well. So when Lü Shu eliminated Duanmu Yun'ai, they had the thought of watching a good show.
Someone once said that Duanmu Huangqi's temporary imperial residence had 18 levels underground, and each level was a different kind of torture.
Of course, this was just a legend, but from this kind of speculation and legend, one could see what kind of image Duanmu Huangqi had in everyone's hearts.
Lü Shu didn't run away. Instead, his expression gradually turned cold and calm. If the Emperor Of Heaven had his eyes on you, running was useless. You could only face him.
The carriage stopped in front of Lü Shu, and the people and horses behind the carriage also stood in silence.
The curtain of the carriage hadn't even been lifted when someone inside said in a steady voice, "You are Lü Shu?"
Lü Shu sneered in his heart. So what if he's the Emperor Of Heaven?
So Lü Shu said calmly, "I'm not. You've got the wrong person."
"Negative emotions from Duanmu Huangqi, + 19!"
It seemed like Duanmu Huangqi didn't expect Lü Shu to answer like this. For a moment … he didn't know what to say …
In the next moment, Duanmu Huangqi suddenly laughed. His laughter was not unpleasant to the ears. In fact, there was a domineering quality to it that made it hard for others to get over it. However, his voice was like a blunt knife that cut into the flesh of others. "Regardless of whether you are or not, let me tell you two things today."
At this moment, the Emperor Of Heaven's entourage, who was standing solemnly behind him, dragged a bloody person over. Lü Shu was stunned, and he couldn't recognize who the person was for a long time.
Duanmu Huangqi smiled and said, "His name is Li Liang. The two of you should have crossed paths before. It's said that he couldn't do anything to you at Weibei Pass. He's really useless. Useless people shouldn't be used anymore. But he's an old acquaintance of yours, so I brought him to the capital for you to take a look. "
Lü Shu drew in a cold breath. He hadn't expected that this dying person in front of him was the Li Liang he had met before. Li Liang was a first-grade expert, but he had actually been tortured to this state and brought to the capital in such a humiliating manner.
Back then, Lü Shu had thought that Li Liang wasn't a bad person. But now that he had appeared in front of him in such a bloody manner, Lü Shu's emotions were a little complicated.
He heard Duanmu Huangqi say, "This is the first matter. Thank you for helping me test out this person's capabilities. Every day, people say that he's a famous general, but in the end, he's so useless."
When Lü Shu heard this, he only felt that Duanmu Huangqi was an extremely strange person. Although Duanmu Huangqi was thanking him, Lü Shu knew very well that he was probably going to meet with a calamity today.
"Now let's talk about the second matter," Duanmu Huangqi said.
At this moment, another bloody person was dragged up from the back of the group and laid down next to Li Liang.
"This person's name is Duanmu Yun 'ai. It's said that he was also defeated by you." There was no emotion in Duanmu Huangqi's voice. "Previously, when I heard that he was going to enter Jianlu, I was quite happy. In the end, he turned out to be a person who likes to boast."
From the beginning to the end, Duanmu Huangqi had never mentioned that this was his son. Lü Shu's heart sank again. It was said that even a vicious tiger would not eat its cubs, but this Duanmu Huangqi could even torture his own son as he pleased.
Lü Shu recalled that when he entered Duanmu Huangqi's side courtyard in the capital, Duanmu Yun 'ai was so arrogant. Now, he was almost not even angry. Moreover, whether it was Li Liang or Duanmu Yun 'ai, both of their foundations had been severed. The first-grade realm that they had painstakingly cultivated had also vanished like smoke in thin air.
In the carriage, Duanmu Huangqi smiled and said, "I have to thank you for helping me see these two clearly. But how should I thank you?"
At this moment, the color of the sky suddenly changed. The originally clear blue sky actually darkened. Dark clouds swept over, forming a huge vortex in the sky. Then, a huge pressure descended from the sky and landed on Lü Shu's body!
The wrath of a Great Grandmaster could change the color of heaven and earth. Lü Shu suddenly understood. So this was the true power of a Great Grandmaster.
