The Martial Grandmaster hidden in the shield formation had gone to Earth with Duanmu Huangqi. Although Duanmu Huangqi had never said what he was worried about, he was one of the people who understood Duanmu Huangqi the best. This Martial Grandmaster could even sense Duanmu Huangqi's anxiety after his return.
What kind of person was Duanmu Huangqi? This Martial Grandmaster had followed Duanmu Huangqi for thousands of years, but this was the first time he had felt anxiety from Duanmu Huangqi!
Martial Grandmasters could do as they pleased even in Lü Zhou. Even though he was a high official of Western Prefecture, he would still be courteously received in other prefectures. A Martial Grandmaster was a Martial Grandmaster. No matter how weak a Martial Grandmaster was, they could still overturn rivers and seas with a wave of their hands!
However, this Martial Grandmaster had displayed extreme caution when facing Mituryū Kanao. Or rather, the shield formation and the forest of spears were actually using their lives to help him test the waters. Using the elite General Tiger Battalion as cannon fodder was not a small move!
Lü Shu had never underestimated anyone. Even the aristocratic families of the royal capital could produce an outstanding talent like Sun Xiuwen. Sun Xiuwen's intelligence was never lower than anyone else's, and his ambition was no less than anyone else's. His strength was even ranked as a Martial Grandmaster.
At some point, Lü Shu even felt that if Sun Xiuwen had been born in troubled times, he would probably have become an ambitious and ruthless character.
This Martial Grandmaster from Western Prefecture had used thousands of lives in exchange for the perfect opportunity to strike. Lü Shu frowned when he saw this from the sky above Western Prefecture. However, he did not make a move because he knew that in front of Mituryū Kanao, a Martial Grandmaster was really not enough!
Meanwhile, they were waiting for the most suitable opportunity to face their strongest enemy, Duanmu Huangqi, while the Tribulation Clouds were still forming.
Lü Shu looked to the other side and saw a group of civilians fleeing in panic. The tribulation clouds in the sky, as well as the battle between Mituryū Kanao and the General Tiger Battalion, had already caused panic in the city.
Just at this time, Lv Shu suddenly discovered that something was wrong, thousands of commoners seemed to be rushing towards the Imperial Dragon Class under the deliberate guidance of someone. Many of the commoners in the city had already lost their sense of direction in the panic, they did not even know where they were running, it seemed that as long as they ran, it would be right.
More and more people joined in, and Lv Shu could clearly see that every time they passed an intersection, there would be someone guiding something in the crowd of thousands.
Lü Shu wanted to warn Li Liang that there might be killing intent hidden among the thousands of civilians. However, to Lü Shu's surprise, Li Liang seemed to have discovered the situation before him!
The former commander-in-chief of the Blackfeather Army didn't have many glorious achievements in his life, but that was because there weren't many wars in this era of peace.
At this time, Li Liang's talents were fully displayed on the battlefield. A commander-in-chief who could command 200,000 people in an orderly manner could easily command more than 5,000 Mituryū Kanao.
The commander-in-chief had authority on the battlefield. He had to make the most correct decision for the entire army.
At this time, Mituryū Kanao had given up on the ability to think independently. They only listened to the voice in the helmet. In fact, Mituryū Kanao wasn't like this in the past. There would always be people who would make decisions on their own and do things that they thought were right.
But now, it was different. They trusted Li Liang and knew that Li Liang was more qualified to play the role of the brain than they were!
Li Liang felt that if it was his own king, he would definitely not ignore the lives of the civilians. It wasn't that his king was overflowing with compassion, but the environment he grew up in had made him unwilling to kill the innocent. Which young man on Earth could ignore so many lives?
Therefore, if the king didn't want to make a decision, he would let Li Liang make it. If there was any infamy, he would let Li Liang bear it.
There had to be someone beside the king to bear some responsibility, and Li Liang was duty-bound.
Li Liang coldly said through the communication channel, "Be it the civilians or the soldiers hiding among the civilians, don't hold back. Kill them all!"
Mituryū Kanao charged toward the group of civilians. The real civilians wanted to turn and run when they saw this scene, but they found that the people at the back of the group had already drawn their short swords, forcing them to continue forward!
To the General Tiger Battalion, the lives of civilians were not even lives. They were just tools.
Just as the two groups clashed, a second Great Grandmaster suddenly appeared behind Zhang Weiyu. This time, Lü Shu finally realized that whether it was the spear and shield formation or the General Tiger Battalion, they were all sacrificial lambs.
They wanted to use their lives to create an opportunity for the two Great Grandmasters to kill Inner Palace Zhi and destroy the Mountain Quaking Armor that Duanmu Huangqi hated the most!
Lü Shu even wondered if Duanmu Huangqi felt that it was too shameful for him to lose to the Mountain Quaking Armor, which made him famous. That was why he had set up such a killing trap. He wanted to kill Inner Palace Zhi no matter what!
A thousand years ago, Duanmu Huangqi had worn the Mountain Quaking Armor to kill people. Now, someone else had worn the Mountain Quaking Armor to kill him. This was like a cycle of fate.
Had the Old Divine King ever thought that such a day would come? Or perhaps he had already guessed all this, which was why he had placed the Mountain Quaking Armor in a place where Lü Shu could get his hands on it. It was to give the traitor the heaviest punishment.
If that was the case, Lü Shu suddenly felt that his previous life had been too thoughtful. That kind of life had been too boring.
Lü Shu did not intend to let Zhang Weiyu and the others face Duanmu Huangqi. He also did not feel that using the Mountain Quaking Armor to punish Duanmu Huangqi was something to be excited about. After all, it was more straightforward to kill his enemy himself.
Scheming and killing were ultimately not enough to satisfy him.
This was probably one of the biggest differences between Lü Shu's previous life and his current life!
Of course, the biggest difference was that the legendary Old Divine King had taken every conceivable possibility into account. However, Lü Shu had not succeeded more than a few times …
Wait a minute. Lü Shu suddenly thought that someone had changed the rules of Lü Zhou, making everyone think that his appearance was the standard of beauty in the world. Then, could the curse of the plan always failing be a curse because someone felt that the Old Divine King was too scheming? Could it be that someone had changed the rules to become a curse in order to take revenge on him?
Rather than saying that all the plans had failed, it was better to say that all the schemes had failed. There was still a difference between the two, and Lü Shu believed that it was the latter.
Until today, Lü Shu still did not know what realm of strength was needed to change the rules of the world. At the very least, he could not do it with his current strength as a Great Grandmaster. Could it be that he had to transcend beyond the Great Grandmaster level? He had tried to use his own rules to influence the world, such as changing something or destroying something. However, the complete world was much stronger than the Earth in the past, and a Great Grandmaster was not qualified to do so.
Lü Shu felt that if he wanted to change the rules, he would have to pay a huge price. Otherwise, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
However, who had changed the rules? How many people had truly transcended beyond the Great Grandmaster level?
