Sun Xiuwen's bow was out of everyone's expectations. Song Zhangying, who didn't know the truth, was confused by this series of actions. Lü Shu, who knew the truth, was equally confused …
Lü Shu asked, "Do you know what you're saying?"
What he didn't understand was how Sun Xiuwen knew the truth.
"I recognize Lord Zhang Weiyu. When the Sun Clan's spies sent Lord Zhang Weiyu's portrait back to the Sun Clan, I recognized Lord Zhang Weiyu." Sun Xiuwen said, "My Sun Clan had specially sent a painter to Nangeng City to memorize the appearance of Wu Weijun's direct descendant. I didn't expect that I would get lucky."
Sun Xiuwen admitted that he knew about Lü Shu's identity in advance in order to dispel Lü Shu's suspicions. Sun Xiuwen and the Sun Clan's attitude of seeking refuge was too firm. Sometimes, this wasn't a good thing.
His logic was similar to Liu Yizhao's: Would Zhang Weiyu swear loyalty to anyone other than the Divine King? Now that Zhang Weiyu was in Wu Weijun's camp, wasn't that enough to explain everything?
In fact, Zhang Weiyu hadn't thought things through as thoroughly as Sun Xiuwen at that time …
The person who was the most confused at this moment was Song Zhangying. When he heard the name Zhang Weiyu, he thought it sounded familiar. Two seconds later, he realized who Sun Xiuwen was talking about.
As the direct commander of the Inner Palace, how many disciples of the capital hadn't heard of Zhang Weiyu? Moreover, the incident 23 years ago had shocked the entire capital. Song Zhangying wasn't an idiot. He just hadn't realized it because it had been too long.
But now, he seemed to have learned of a shocking secret. A kind of fear began to spread from his bones, and a chill seeped into his bones!
The Song Clan cultivators behind him were a few hundred meters away, and so was the Sun Clan.
The others still did not know this secret. Song Zhangying suddenly felt that the world was really going to change. The person who had fought for three thousand years and shaken Lü Zhou had actually returned, and he was not dead!
It was also at this moment that he realized a problem. Would Lü Shu allow him to bring the secret out alive?
In that instant, Song Zhangying turned around and ran. He only took two steps before he felt that it was too slow, so he prepared to fly up. However, before he could fly up, Sun Xiuwen blocked his way.
Sun Xiuwen slammed his palm down on Song Zhangying's head. Song Zhangying felt as if the palm was as heavy as a towering mountain. He hurriedly opened his mouth and spat out an extremely small turtle shell. The turtle shell had always been hidden under his tongue as a life-saving treasure.
The opening of the turtle shell instantly began to expand, but Sun Xiuwen's palm did not stop at all as it slammed into the turtle shell. Song Zhangying watched as the turtle shell gradually shattered. It was as if time had stopped. Sun Xiuwen's slender palm passed through all the fragments and pressed down on Song Zhangying's head!
With a crack, Song Changying collapsed to the ground.
Although the Song Clan cultivators saw everything that had happened in the blink of an eye, they could not save Song Zhangying in time.
Moreover, they were not thinking about saving Song Zhangying at this moment. Instead, they were thinking about escaping in different directions!
With a loud boom, the ground where the Song Clan's army was located began to collapse. The soil rapidly turned into gravel and poured down like a waterfall. The river of sand that flowed backwards engulfed all the Song Clan cultivators who were trying to jump out of the pit.
When Sun Xiuwen saw this, his pupils shrank. He did not even know who was attacking, nor did he know where this Great Grandmaster was hiding. He had actually cultivated the Five Elemental Earth-elemental Sorcery to such an extent! Could it be that he had been focusing on the Earth-elemental Sorcery for the rest of his life?
Sun Xiuwen naturally came to rely on Lü Shu because he felt that Lü Shu was already strong enough. Sun Xiuwen seemed to be completely loyal, but he had already guessed Lü Shu's identity before the bloody battle on the bluestone slabs. Why did he not make a move then? It was because he thought that Lü Shu would die prematurely!
Later, he regretted it. He felt that he had been blinded by fame and fortune, so he finally decided to go into closed-door cultivation.
However, coming out of closed-door cultivation did not mean that Sun Xiuwen's loyalty had increased. Instead, it meant that he had become bolder and was no longer afraid of the slightest thing. In the end, the Grand Clans of the Royal City still cared about profit.
Now, Sun Xiuwen was even more certain that his choice was not wrong.
Fourteen of the Nine Five Grand Clans of the Royal City had come, and now, only the Sun Clan was left. The Song Clan's relationship with Mituryū Kanao was through Zhao Shuai and Xiao Mingze. Now that Zhao Shuai and Xiao Mingze had already decided to leave, Lü Shu no longer had any friendship with the Song Clan.
Lü Shu asked Zhao Shuai, "Has Xiao Mingze escaped danger?"
Zhao Shuai nodded. "Before I left the Royal City, I protected him and hid him. The Song Clan won't be able to find him."
"That's good." Lü Shu nodded. He turned to look at Sun Xiuwen. "If you want the position of Western Emperor Of Heaven, then fight for it yourself. As for your performance, I will wait and see."
Sun Xiuwen cupped his hands and said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty."
With that, Lü Shu turned and led Mituryū Kanao toward the Western Capital. Sun Xiuwen and the Sun Clan followed closely behind. The 10,000 elites of the Sun Clan were his proof of allegiance. For the sake of the position of Western Emperor Of Heaven, he would not hesitate even if all these elites died.
Before leaving, Zhang Weiyu whispered to Lü Shu, "This old fellow is very shrewd. After he came, he asked about his son first to show that he cares about his son very much. His son is his weakness, and this weakness is in the hands of Your Majesty. This is a trick to gain trust."
Lü Shu smiled and waved his hand. "There's no need to seek everyone's loyalty. I have never thought of continuing to be the Divine King after the war."
Zhang Weiyu was stunned. He asked curiously, "Your Majesty, are you really willing to do that?"
"What's there to be unwilling about?" Lü Shu smiled. "Is it because the Sichuan cuisine is not good, or is the phone not fun? Why do you insist on being the Divine King? "
Zhang Weiyu was amused. "In any case, wherever Your Majesty goes, we'll follow you."
However, at this moment, the dull sound of a horn rang out from the direction of the Western Capital. It was an uncomfortable sound that pressed down on one's heart. Zhang Weiyu frowned. "What does this horn mean? Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Li Heitan interjected, "Your Majesty, shall we charge in and start a massacre?!"
To Li Heitan, it was enough to just charge in. There was no need for a strategy.
Lü Shu shook his head. "We don't know the enemy's situation. Let's defend for now."
Li Heitan was overjoyed. He turned to Mituryū Kanao and shouted, "Brothers, did you hear that? Your Majesty said to give it our all!"
Lü Shu: "???"
"Wait a moment." Lü Shu hurriedly pulled Li Heitan back. "With your education level, do you think you don't have to do your homework?"
Li Heitan felt wronged. He didn't know what he had done wrong.
But before he could ask, Duanmu Huangqi's voice reverberated through the air. "The gates are open. Duanmu Huangqi is waiting for you at the Western Capital Palace."
No one expected Duanmu Huangqi to open the gates at a time like this. He even sent a voice transmission saying that he would wait for Lü Shu at the Western Capital Palace.
And Duanmu Huangqi didn't expect that he would wait for half a month …
"Negative emotions from Duanmu Huangqi, + 666!"
