The courtyard of the Sun Family was silent. Who would have thought that Sun Xiuwen would suddenly break through the Heavenly Tribulation and complete a feat that no one in the aristocratic families of the Royal City had done for thousands of years?
A Grandmaster! The average lifespan of a Rank-1 expert was 800 years, but a Grandmaster had a minimum lifespan of 3,000 years. If Sun Xiuwen became the head of the family, who would have a chance in the future?
At that time, the Sun Family would be under Sun Xiuwen's control!
But what could they do? Who would dare to do anything to a Grandmaster?
The Royal City was in turmoil. The aristocratic families had yet to recover from the shock of the imperial edict. The number one aristocratic family in the history of the aristocratic families had appeared just like that.
In the past, the Royal City was an aristocratic family with five upper families and nine lower families. What about the Sun Family in the future? Would they not stand out?
Everyone had been content with the status quo for too long. Before the Old Divine King, the dynasty had only lasted for a few hundred years. At that time, even the emperor's position had declined. If the emperor could be content with the status quo, what about the aristocratic families?
Now, with the sudden appearance of Sun Xiuwen, all the wealthy families who were content with the status quo panicked. In the past, everyone felt that it was impossible for a grandmaster to appear in Royal City, and they used the phrase "How can we allow others to sleep soundly beside the King of Gods?" as a fig leaf for the wealthy families. What about now?
Seeing that his father did not speak, Sun Xiuwen continued to salute respectfully. "The Sun Family did not act in time on the bluestone road in the Royal City. We have already missed the best opportunity to rely on that young man. Now that the Divine King's palace has issued an imperial edict, the world's winds and clouds are tied to Lü Shu. This is our last chance."
Hearing this, everyone in the Sun Family was shocked. "Do you know what you are saying? The Divine King's palace has just issued an imperial edict. You dare to disobey it?"
Sun Xiuwen glanced at everyone. "If I disobey the imperial edict alone, I will implicate my entire family. All of you better shut your mouths. Besides, there is no one in the Divine King's palace for a long time. I don't know who is spreading fake edicts."
This was how a family was. One person turned the wheel, and the others could only follow. If Sun Xiuwen really wanted to do things his own way, the Sun Family could only accompany him to the end!
"Do you have proof?" Sun Family's Patriarch frowned.
"I don't have any evidence, but I'm very certain," Sun Xiuwen said respectfully.
"Do you really think that young man and Wu Weijun can win?" Master Sun asked.
"That's right." Sun Xiuwen said, "Father, have you ever seen anyone whose Heaven and Earth Anomaly can stretch for hundreds of miles?"
"I've never seen him before." The Sun Family Patriarch sighed and shook his head.
"Father, have you ever seen anyone who could kill twelve foreign officials dressed in python robes with their own strength at the First Grade?"
"Never seen him before."
"Father, have you seen anyone who dares to threaten to kill the Emperor Of Heaven?"
"Never seen him before."
"Father, have you seen anyone who dares to ride a horse in Royal City?"
"Never seen him before."
"Father, have you seen anyone from Jianlu fight for whom?" Sun Xiuwen asked seriously. "I wonder what everyone thinks of Lü Shu's status in Jianlu? Have you ever thought about which side Jianlu is on? "
Everyone was silent. That's right, Lü Shu was a disciple of Jianlu. Jianlu's eldest disciple had once fought with Duanmu Huangqi for Lü Shu. What about now? What choice would Jianlu make?
Everyone knew that ever since the Old Divine King left, Jianlu and the Divine King's Palace were no longer close. Would Jianlu break off relations with the Divine King's Palace at this time?
"But if you say that Jianlu would break off relations with the Divine King's Palace for Lü Shu, I don't believe it," someone said coldly.
"Then the question returns," Sun Xiuwen said calmly. "What if there's actually no one in the Divine King's Palace? Can you imagine what would happen? I'm not asking everyone to go out and fight to the death. You just need to stand behind me, Sun Xiuwen. I will bring a new atmosphere to the Sun Family. "
In the past, Sun Xiuwen was elegant. Now that he was a Great Grandmaster, his words were more domineering. He understood that this was a huge gamble. If he lost, he would fall into the abyss. But so what? Now, the Divine King's Palace wanted to push the aristocratic families out to be cannon fodder!
Could the aristocratic families of the royal city, the dogs that lived like princes, be a match for Wu Weijun's group of hungry wolves? Moreover, Wu Weijun wasn't a hungry wolf. As for what he was, Sun Xiuwen wasn't sure.
But if he won the gamble, then Sun Xiuwen could extend the Sun Family's luck for another three thousand years!
But Sun Xiuwen was also confused. If it was as he had guessed, there was no one in the Divine King's Palace. Then who was the person who fake the imperial edict?
The leader of the Sun Family said, "Sun Xiuwen, kneel."
Sun Xiuwen lifted his shirt and knelt on the ground. He respectfully kowtowed three times. At this time, the leader of the Sun Family said, "Today, I pass the position of leader to Sun Xiuwen. The honor of the family rests on you alone. I hope you will think carefully before you act and bring a new atmosphere to the Sun Family."
After saying that, the leader of the Sun Family passed away as if he had fulfilled a wish.
Sun Xiuwen stood up and looked at Sun Zhongyang, who had just arrived. He said, "Bring 200 people to Xidu immediately."
"Father, isn't 200 people too little?" Sun Zhongyang asked in surprise.
"It's not a lot. It doesn't matter if you bring 200 or 20,000 people. You have to remember that Wu Weijun is the main character. We just need to show our loyalty. From today onwards, the Sun Family will no longer interact with the other wealthy families in the Royal City. If there are people in the family who go with the flow, I, Sun Xiuwen, will personally kill them," Sun Xiuwen said calmly.
The most taboo thing in the world was to go with the flow. They might say that they wanted to help Wu Weijun, but in the end, they would secretly collude with outsiders to do bad things. In the end, they would not be able to please either side.
"Father, what if Wu Weijun doesn't accept our loyalty?" Sun Zhongyang asked.
Sun Xiuwen thought for a long time and sighed. "It's still too late."
From Sun Xiuwen's point of view, Wu Weijun's momentum was already established. The best time to rely on him was that night on the bluestone road.
But … at that time, which wealthy family in the Royal City would be willing to lower their heads to a young man?
The wealthy families in the Royal City began to move. When Sun Zhongyang brought 200 people out of the city, he suddenly realized that the other wealthy families did not send many people. The Sun Family's people were not the least.
After all, no one wanted to get involved in this mess, nor did they want to be cannon fodder. It was best to send some people to check out the situation first.
No one knew that the Sun Family was actually not going to encircle and kill Wu Weijun. Who would have thought that Sun Xiuwen would have this kind of courage?
Sun Zhongyang had always respected his father, so he agreed with Sun Xiuwen's decision.
For some reason, when Sun Zhongyang thought of the Sun Family going against the entire world, he actually had a trace of hope in his heart.
The young man who had once walked with him was now standing at the peak of this world. He did not feel any unwillingness or jealousy. He only hoped that the young man could stand a little higher!
Only then could he prove that he and his father, Sun Xiuwen, were not wrong.
