At this time, the aristocratic families of King City had to prepare for the next reshuffle. Although no one was willing to believe that the Emperor Of Heaven would fall one day, if that day really came, everyone could only face it and make a choice.
No one in Lü Zhou had ever challenged the Emperor Of Heaven like this, so the aristocratic families of King City did not know what would happen in the future if the Emperor Of Heaven was about to die. Would Lü Shu become the new Western Emperor Of Heaven?
"Is there really no one left in the Divine King's Palace?" A family head sat in the depths of the courtyard and wondered, "Why is Lü Zhou already in such a mess, but no one is taking care of it?"
Ever since Duanmu Huangqi challenged Jianlu, and ever since Wu Weijun rode his horse in King City, this doubt remained in everyone's hearts. No one knew what was going on in the Divine King's Palace, and no one dared to really go in and take a look.
But if the new Divine King in the Divine King's Palace was still there, then why didn't he come out and take care of it?
The situation in Lü Zhou suddenly became uncertain. Whether it was the aristocratic families of King City or the aristocratic families, almost everyone was in danger.
Sun Zhongyang, the prince of King City who had once traveled with Lü Shu, was guarding the backyard of the Sun family. The other branches had gathered in the main hall to discuss matters. Only Sun Zhongyang's branch did not move, because Sun Xiuwen was still in seclusion.
After Lü Shu killed his way out of the bluestone road, Sun Xiuwen swore that he would not come out of seclusion until he reached the Great Grandmaster Realm. Many people laughed and said that Sun Xiuwen had drawn a prison and put a shackle on himself. After all, it was not easy to break through to the Great Grandmaster Realm.
The aristocratic families of the Royal City had never produced a Great Grandmaster in a thousand years. There had been people who had such a hope, but they had given up on it, calling it concealment.
The family head who had the highest chance of becoming a Great Grandmaster had said that the aristocratic families of the Royal City were right next to the Divine King's palace, so they could be at ease and be the Old Divine King's lackeys. They might be able to live for a hundred years without becoming a Great Grandmaster, but if they really became a Great Grandmaster, they might even be feared. How could an ambitious person like the Old Divine King allow others to sleep soundly beside him?
This sentence seemed to have slowly become the norm of the wealthy families in the capital city. Everyone slowly gave up on the idea of advancing to Great Grandmaster. Rank-1 was enough.
However, Sun Xiuwen had always disagreed with this view. When he was young, he would laugh and say that the ancestors were really muddle-headed. Why would a celestial being like the Old Divine King care if you were a Great Grandmaster or a first-rank Great Sage? They were just ants.
From Sun Xiuwen's point of view, the ancestors' words were just groundless fears. Great Grandmasters could not even withstand one move from the Old Divine King, so why would the Old Divine King be afraid of them?
Therefore, when Sun Xiuwen was young, he had set his sights on becoming a Great Grandmaster. He had never slacked off, and he was also the person with the purest thoughts in the aristocratic families of the Royal City.
This time, when Lü Shu had brought Mituryū Kanao back, the aristocratic families of the Royal City still did not know what had happened to "Wu Weijun". During the Sun family's discussion, the other branches all felt that it was best if Sun Xiuwen never came out of seclusion. This way, there would be one less powerful successor in the fight for the position of the family head.
Everyone knew that the Sun family's old family head liked Sun Xiuwen the most. This was because he had once said that Sun Xiuwen could bring a new atmosphere to the Sun family.
Now that the old family head was about to pass away, this was something that could happen at any time. Of course, the other branches did not want Sun Xiuwen to come out.
In the main hall, the old housekeeper asked, "Should we call Young Master Sun Zhongyang over? It's best to let the second branch participate in such an important matter."
This old housekeeper had followed the current family head for several hundred years. He was also a first-grade expert, so his words had some influence in the family.
The other branches were stunned for a moment before saying, "Do you think we need an old thing like you to talk nonsense about the Sun family's internal affairs?"
The old housekeeper thought about it and did not say anything else. The old family head did not say anything. He knew that he did not have much time left. It seemed that he would not be able to wait for Sun Xiuwen to come out of seclusion.
This was how it was in aristocratic families. At this time, even the family head had to weigh all the factors and could not act recklessly. With all kinds of constraints lingering in his mind every day, how could he still have the mood to cultivate?
"I believe you all know why I've called everyone here today." The family head sat on the main seat and said weakly, "When Wu Weijun went on a rampage in the Royal City, the Sun family did not do anything. That was because we did not know that the young man had actually become as powerful as the Emperor Of Heaven. Now, we want to see what everyone thinks. Should we befriend him or continue to bide our time?"
"Father, we must not befriend him." Someone said, "You must know that the most annoying thing about the Divine King's Palace is people causing trouble. Now, no one can take care of this Wu Weijun. Sooner or later, someone will take care of him. The other Emperor Of Heaven will definitely not sit by and do nothing. Even if they do not do anything now, there will still be people who will challenge their position in the future. I believe that they will not let Wu Weijun take the lead."
"The aristocratic families of the Royal City have been able to stand until now by not stirring up trouble. Father, don't be confused," someone said anxiously.
However, at this moment, everyone looked up at the sky. Through the main hall's door, they saw that the sky outside had actually been dyed gold by something in an instant!
"This is …" Someone was puzzled. This golden light was familiar yet strange, but the light was too special. It immediately evoked many people's memories. "This is the decree of the Divine King's Palace!"
Everyone ran out. Almost at the same time, everyone in the Royal City saw this strange phenomenon. They walked out of their houses and looked up!
In the sky, there was a golden scroll that was being opened horizontally. The words inside were reflected in the sky one by one. It was as if someone had written in the sky: Wu Weijun has rebelled against his superiors. You are ordered to send troops to encircle and annihilate him.
Everyone looked at each other. After more than ten years, the Divine King's Palace had issued another decree. Moreover, it was for the aristocratic families of the Royal City to participate in this war!
How many years had it been since they had seen an imperial decree? Why did it suddenly appear today?
Just when everyone was guessing that there was no one left in the Divine King's Palace, the Divine King's Palace suddenly issued an imperial decree. The first thing it said was to annihilate Wu Weijun!
The aristocratic families of the Royal City were at a loss. They did not know what was going on.
However, at this moment, the door to the room where Sun Xiuwen was in seclusion suddenly opened. It was as quiet as an abyss inside.
Sun Zhongyang suddenly stood up and said in surprise, "Father?"
Sun Xiuwen glanced at him and stepped into the void. The thunderclouds above his head had just condensed and followed him into the distance. Sun Xiuwen chose to undergo his tribulation in a mountain range dozens of miles away from the Royal City. The lightning flashed in the distance, almost overshadowed the light of the imperial decree.
The Sun family was alarmed. The aristocratic families of the Royal City were alarmed. This Sun Xiuwen had really become the number one great grandmaster of the aristocratic families of the Royal City for thousands of years!
Although the aura of the lightning tribulation was not heavy, it was enough to intimidate people. However, before they could react, the lightning tribulation had already begun to dissipate. Sun Xiuwen stepped into the Sun family's main hall. He looked at the elderly Sun family's patriarch, cupped his hands, and said, "Father, please pass on the position of patriarch."
