The brothel looked brightly lit and lively from the outside, but it was quiet inside at this time. Twelve first-rank foreign officials dressed in embroidered robes were sitting quietly in the central room with their eyes closed to rest.
The pythons on the robes were ferocious and terrifying, as if they were choosing people to eat.
Ordinary candlelight was always swaying, but the candlelight in this central room was always vertical, as if it was still.
The powerful aura of the twelve first-rank guests seemed to have frozen this part of the world. On the back of their necks, there was a white python mark, and the scales on the python's body were like eyes.
Everyone knew that the Western Emperor Heaven had twelve slaves under his command. Their strength was above first-rank, and they were Duanmu Huangqi's real men of sacrifice. But few people knew that Duanmu Huangqi had left his twelve slaves in King City, waiting for an opportunity. No one knew what they were waiting for.
Every year, during the Jianlu Ceremony, people from Lü Zhou would come to King City to watch the ceremony as if they were on a pilgrimage. This was the case every year, so King City was very crowded and lively at this time.
But this year, there were especially many people, especially experts, who came to King City.
Each of them had their own purpose, and no one knew who was behind them.
But tonight, these people all bared their fangs. It was as if a huge hunt had begun on a bluestone road in King City. The death warriors brought by the twelve foreign chamberlains were like black panthers shuttling across the roofs of the buildings in King City. The shadows that were originally scattered all over King City were quickly gathering on the bluestone road.
Lü Shu was still running. Some people said that King City was so big that even first-rank experts couldn't fly all the way in a day. This was an exaggeration, just like how ordinary people had no idea how big King City was, they only knew that it was very big.
They knew that first-rank guests couldn't really fly in the no-fly zone of King City. They knew that if a first-rank guest could really fly, it would take them half a day to fly all the way, but who would care about that?
The size of King City was the glory of the people in King City.
But now, it seemed to be a path of no return for Lü Shu. At least, that was how some of the wealthy families in Royal City saw it.
Lü Shu ran wildly from east to west. He didn't know how much longer he had to run, and he didn't know how many people would come to kill him. He didn't know how long Duanmu Huangqi had been planning for the Jianlu. Now, because of his appearance, because he wanted to kill, the other party had used all of this power to show off their might, and used all of it on him.
He didn't care about that. He only knew that if someone wanted to kill him, they had to die.
In the dark, there were constantly people launching sneak attacks on Lü Shu. On the roofs by the side of the bluestone path, there were sounds of people stepping on the tiles. Kaka, kaka, kaka followed Lü Shu all the way.
As more and more people died, the death warriors understood that this young man was not as easy to deal with as they had imagined. They did not feel pity for their companions who had died, as it was a necessary preparation for the completion of the mission.
In the next moment, dozens of people suddenly lunged at him from the roofs. These people attacked almost at the same time, and they came from all directions!
Lü Shu, who was running wildly, suddenly stopped. Because of the huge counterforce, the bluestone he was using to stabilize his body suddenly cracked, and debris flew everywhere!
In a flash, the black-robed death warriors that filled the sky were like ferocious wild beasts. However, these wild beasts suddenly realized that the young man standing in the middle did not have a look of fear on his face. Instead, he was smiling!
"Fish meat has bones and bones, but isn't it still fish meat?" Lü Shu said with a smile.
In just a moment, the death warriors were still in the air, but they realized that the young man's fingers were pulling something down from the sky. Then, everyone felt their bodies go cold, and they felt an unbearable pain!
It was Invisible Sword Qi!
But they did not realize that this young man had already hung Invisible Sword Qi in the sky!
The rain of swords rustled down. This was the largest battle that Lü Shu had encountered during his wild run on the bluestone road, but it still did not pose any threat to him.
The death warriors who remained on the roofs of the road narrowed their eyes, carefully sizing up this young man. When the young man began to move again, they also continued to chase after him, waiting for the most suitable opportunity.
…
If Royal City was said to be unaware of what had happened at the beginning, then it was impossible for it to remain indifferent now that the bluestone road was already covered in blood for dozens of li.
Countless pairs of eyes secretly stared at Royal City in the night. They were secretly guessing how much blood Royal City would have to shed tonight, how far this young man would have to go before he would die, or how many people this young man would have to kill before he would stop.
The head shopkeeper of the Song Store, Xiao Mingze, was pacing anxiously in the Song Family courtyard. As he was pacing, a middle-aged man with a slightly dark expression walked out and looked at Xiao Mingze. "What's the matter?"
"Clan Head, should we help him?!" Xiao Mingze said. For the Song Ji Gambling House's Head Shopkeeper, Lv Shu was his money tree. Moreover, they had known each other for a long time. Chief Consecrator Zhao Shuai also wanted to ask Xiao Mingze if he wanted to help Lv Shu.
They were the first batch of Royal City's Grand Families that had come into contact with Lü Shu. No one had expected such a scene to occur today. That young commander of Wu Weijun had actually carved a bloody road on the bluestone road, and his opponent was the Emperor Of Heaven of Western Province!
"A gentleman does not stand under a collapsing wall." The Song Clan Head said, "You may leave."
In fact, when he had asked Zhao Shuai to retreat from Southern Geng City, he had already made a decision. The reason why the Grand Families of Royal City had been able to stand for a thousand years was not because they sought fortune, but because they avoided calamity.
"As you wish, this lowly one will leave." Xiao Mingze bowed and left. Sometimes, Xiao Mingze really wanted to leave this Grand Family to find a way out. Unfortunately, where would he go if he left this Grand Family?
Without Lü Shu in the world, wouldn't life still be the same? The Grand Families of Royal City would still be Grand Families. Why would they care about right and wrong?
At this moment, the Sun Clan's Sun Zhongyang stood at the door of his father's study. "Father, I want to help him. He saved my life before. Although I've already paid back the Dharma artifact and armor, my life is priceless."
Sun Xiuwen, who was slowly flipping through a book in his hand, said calmly, "It's not that I don't want you to help him, but you can't."
Sun Zhongyang had always respected his father. This was because his father was not only the most promising person in Royal City to advance to become a Great Grandmaster, but Sun Zhongyang had also understood from a young age that behind his father's great strength, there was also wisdom.
"What do you mean by this?" Sun Zhongyang was stunned.
"You've underestimated him and overestimated yourself." Sun Xiuwen smiled and looked at Sun Zhongyang. "Go and cultivate. When you reach the Great Grandmaster level, you'll be able to go and help him."
At this moment, Sun Zhongyang suddenly realized that his father actually supported him in helping Lü Shu. It was just that he felt that he wouldn't be able to help Lü Shu at all!
What did this Lü Shu do to deserve such a high evaluation from his father?
