The Sword Retention Pass was the most dangerous pass between West State and South State. However, breaking through the Sword Retention Pass did not mean that the road ahead would be smooth sailing. Lü Shu needed to take Mituryū Kanao with him to continue attacking cities and territories.
It was not that he had any special interest in attacking cities, but that attacking cities and territories was the best way for him to obtain negative emotion points.
At this time, Lü Shu had changed the person giving orders to Lü Xiaoyu. This was because this was the only way for Lü Xiaoyu to obtain the fruit that belonged to Lü Xiaoyu. The negative emotion points were actually given to Lü Shu in double. The owner of the Dark Map was like a smurf of the Star Map, and he could obtain a huge amount of negative emotion points for the Star Map at the same time.
Even if Lü Shu did nothing and Lü Xiaoyu went out to kill and turn the world upside down, Lü Shu could still advance all the way.
Sometimes, Lü Shu recalled what Qfilth had said to him. It seemed that the person who studied the Dark Map … had planned to let the Star Map devour everything about the Dark Map from the beginning, because the Dark Map was the key to opening the last layer of the Star Map.
However, this matter was not important to Lü Shu. In fact, he had never taken it to heart. At this moment, he only hoped that Lü Xiaoyu could quickly reach the threshold of the Great Grandmaster level, so that Lü Xiaoyu would have a stronger ability to protect herself.
Although Lü Xiaoyu was now leading three Great Grandmasters and could be considered one of the strongest combat forces in Lü Zhou, if her body was only at the first level, she would really be too weak.
It was not that the first level was weak, but that the opponent was too strong.
The negative emotion points were continuously entering through Lü Xiaoyu's Dark Map. Lü Shu calculated the time it would take for Lü Xiaoyu to advance to the Great Grandmaster level, and then continued to attack cities and territories.
It had to be said that it was no wonder that the Old Divine King would leave the Quaking Mountain Armor on Earth. This thing was far beyond Lü Shu's imagination. More than 50 first-tier experts wearing the Quaking Mountain Armor could be said to be invincible.
In fact, Lü Shu had thought of a problem. Back then, Lü Shu had given all the Bronze Torrent armors to Tengra's Terra Net. However, the Old Divine King must not have thought of this, so those bronze armors were left for "himself."
If Lü Shu were to enter the Lop Nor ruins one day, he would only need to obtain this Formation Eye. Then, he would have all the armors needed for Mituryū Kanao and Inner Prince Naomi, and there would be no need to buy them.
However, Lü Shu did not think that giving the bronze armors to Tengra's Terra Net was a very bad thing. Or rather, there was no need to look at this matter in terms of "bad" or "not bad".
Moreover, back then, Lü Shu had frantically bought armors from Lü Zhou. These armors were limited, and if he bought them, others would not be able to wear them. At this time, if someone really organized an army of tens of thousands of people armed with armors, Lü Shu would probably have a headache. At the very least, there would definitely be some casualties in Mituryū Kanao.
It had to be said that this was probably one of the classic cases where Lü Shu's unintentional efforts turned out to be successful … wearing someone else's armor, leaving them with no armor to wear.
In fact, Zhang Weiyu and the others had also discovered this problem. In their impression, there should be many armors in Xi Province, especially in Ping Xi City, which they had just destroyed. There should have been a fully armed elite aristocrats, but why did they not see a single one when they attacked the city?
Later, they realized that it was Lü Shu who had taken the armors …
At this time, Lü Shu said with an enigmatic look, "I had long expected this battle, so I made arrangements in advance!"
For a moment, Zhang Weiyu and the others were shocked. "Your Majesty is wise!"
The group of people began to flatter him, causing Lü Xiaoyu to roll his eyes. Li Heitan was just about to say something, but Carol quietly stepped on his foot and shut him up.
As Mituryū Kanao attacked and conquered cities at a rate of one a day, intelligence reports were sent one after another to the aristocrats of the royal city. At this time, Lü Shu still did not know that the Divine King's palace had already received an imperial edict, but even if he knew, he would not have cared too much. After all, he was waiting for the person behind the scenes to make a move.
Only when the other party made a move could Lü Shu hope to find clues about the other party.
However, Sun Zhongyang was a little anxious. After calculating the time and distance, it was very likely that Mituryū Kanao would arrive at the Western Capital in another twenty days or so. If he did not arrive by then, or if he did not arrive before Lü Shu killed Duanmu Huangqi, then their allegiance would be meaningless.
Whether it was before or after Lü Shu killed Duanmu Huangqi, there would be two different kinds of treatment and meaning for them to pledge allegiance to him.
Sun Zhongyang and the others did not rest during their journey. Because of the day and night journey, the young master of the royal city was a little disheveled.
When they stopped to rest and cook, a slave wanted to help him comb his disheveled hair, but Sun Zhongyang stopped him. "I have to rush over in this disheveled state. Only then will he know my sincerity."
The slave immediately busied himself with his own matters. Sun Zhongyang opened the map and estimated, "If we continue to travel day and night, we should be able to reach Lü Shu three days earlier. There's still time."
For some reason, Sun Zhongyang did not seem to think that Lü Shu would lose to Duanmu Huangqi. He did not know when this kind of trust had arisen, or rather, it could not be called trust, but rather that the young man was too mysterious. Sun Zhongyang would rather believe together with his father, Sun Xiuwen, that this young man would definitely stir up the world and turn the world upside down.
Moreover, the Sun family could not afford to lose.
Now, what Sun Zhongyang was most afraid of was not being able to make it in time. Along the way, every time they passed by a city, the person in charge of the city would provide Sun Zhongyang and the others with new horses. These horses were all carefully bred, and their strength was at least at the second rank.
They were originally used to send information, but after the appearance of the communication mirror, they were no longer of use. However, the great families did not cut off this legacy of rearing horses, and now they were put to good use.
One had to know that although Sun Zhongyang could fly, most of the others in his team could not.
However, at this moment, Sun Zhongyang heard the sound of hooves behind him. He turned back in shock and realized that the people from the Song family had caught up to them.
Not only the Song family, but the other great families were also doing the same. There were a total of 14 great families, and all of them had arrived one after another.
Sun Zhongyang was puzzled. The Sun family was not the first to leave the city, but they were the fastest to travel. They had long left the other great families behind. What was going on now?
He said calmly, "Why are you guys in such a hurry?"
This question stumped the other great families. They did not expect Sun Zhongyang to be so straightforward. After a long time, someone suddenly said, "We don't know why we're in such a hurry either. We just saw that you're running so fast, and we don't want to be left behind."
Sun Zhongyang was speechless.
This was how the great families were. They did not care if they could understand what you were planning or not. They would follow you to do the same thing first. Sometimes, if they were one step behind, they would be left behind.
Sun Zhongyang sneered in his heart. On the way here, he was still thinking about what he could use as a proof of allegiance to Lü Shu. Now, the proof of allegiance had come knocking on his door.
