Everyone in the Peach Blossom Guild kept quiet out of fear. No one expected Lü Shu to be here so early on.
The steward with the shrill voice was scared out of his wits. How could he have known that the person he had just yelled at was the one that the entire capital was afraid of?!
The steward didn't dare to speak. The cold sweat on his back had soaked his clothes in just two seconds, and his legs were starting to shake.
How many people had Wu Weijun killed? He wasn't missing one at all, alright?
All the rich and powerful families in the capital were huddling together because of this person, and he was so blind as to yell at him to give out things for no reason …
But who the hell would have thought that such a big shot like him would have nothing better to do and come to this lousy place to give out books?!
To be honest, Lü Shu was a little relieved now. This time, reality had once again proven that his plan wouldn't work. Such perfect conditions were actually disrupted by the sudden intrusion of the capital's rich and powerful families.
Previously, what worried Lü Shu the most was that his plan to absorb negative emotions would not work. This was because the negative emotions were too crucial. They determined whether or not Lü Shu could successfully light up the sixth level's main star!
However, just as Lü Shu's plan was about to fail, his Mituryū Kanao finally arrived and actually completed the plan.
What happened from now on was not within Lü Shu's plan. He had to take things one step at a time … Whoever asked him to make plans again, he would break their legs …
"What are you waiting for?" Lü Shu looked at the indifferent heads of the rich and powerful families and said, "Come over and get your books!"
At this moment, Lü Shu suddenly felt like he had returned to being a teacher at the Luoshen Cultivation Academy, and these people in front of him were all his students …
The heads of the families looked at each other, and after a second, they could only choose to endure it. The situation was stronger than they were, and it seemed like they might die if they didn't listen!
One by one, the heads of the families lined up in front of Lü Shu and obediently took a book each. Those rich and powerful old masters who needed a bunch of people to serve them just to smoke a pipe were instantly beaten back to their original state.
Who would dare to put on airs now? It was more like they had a death wish.
Not only did the master of the house receive the book, but the servants also had to receive it. Not a single one could be missing.
Lü Shu turned around to look at the three old Wang scholars on the podium behind him. "Why are you still sitting there? Come down and get your books. "
Wang Xuexue also became well-behaved. Just a moment ago, he kept on saying that he would join all the scholars in the world in condemning Lü Shu. In the end, he didn't utter a single word.
The so-called literati's condemnation was mostly done behind one's back. Most of them did not dare to speak up in front of others.
With these three Wang Scholars taking the lead, the other Wang Scholars who hadn't collected their books also obediently lined up. Li Heitan watched this scene from the side. It was as if he was looking at himself lining up to collect his textbooks before his cultural class …
Wang Xuezheng and the others were also in despair. What else could they do?
Although they dared to argue with the wealthy families of Royal City, that was because they knew that everyone was within the rules. Even if there was a little friction, it would not escalate to the level of life and death. However, it was different now. If they did not comply, they would really die!
Besides, he was just letting them collect their books. There was nothing wrong with reading the books.
However, regardless of whether it was the wealthy families of Royal City or the remaining Wang Scholars, they were all stunned when they saw the contents of the books. Was Lü Shu painstakingly sending them books just to subvert the fact that the Old Divine King had written poems?
The Wang Scholars and the heads of the wealthy families of Royal City looked at Li Heitan and the others, who were glaring at them fiercely and emitting a murderous aura. They were about to go crazy. What was he planning?
They completely could not understand why Lü Shu would muster such a large force to do this. Would subverting the cultural attainments of the Old Divine King have any impact on the power structure of this world?
Of course, they did not know that Lü Shu was relying on this to advance. Therefore, in their eyes, Lü Shu's actions were simply crazy. However, they did not dare to say anything!
At this moment, everyone in Royal City seemed to be in a state of silence. The small merchants and peddlers hurriedly closed their stalls and went home. The shop owners on the streets hurriedly pulled their employees to close the wooden doors.
The originally bustling Royal City seemed to have suddenly become desolate in the time it took to burn a stick of incense. Only the fallen leaves on the streets were still being pushed by the wind.
Someone secretly peeked through the gap in the door. In the end, someone else pulled him away in shock and warned him in a low voice, "You're crazy. Don't you know that all Rank-1 experts can feel other people's gazes?!"
This matter was not a secret. It was also the reason why many commoners did not dare to look directly at experts.
The person who was peeking out muttered pitifully, "Wu Weijun doesn't have many Rank-1 experts, right? Didn't they say that they only have four to five Rank-1 experts?"
"Are you stupid? You believe what others say? Only four to five Rank-1 experts can flatten Western State?" The person who dissuaded him was exasperated. "Can you have some brains? If that group of b * stards only have four to five Rank-1 experts, would they dare to go on a killing spree in Royal City? Forty to fifty is more like it! "
It had to be said that this person was a smart person. Directly deducing the process from the results was much more reliable than listening to rumors from the outside world.
Someone said in a low voice, "I heard that when Wu Weijun attacked the city, there would be dozens of black-armored martial artists ramming their bodies against the city walls. Under the impact, even the mountains would collapse. I suspect that those dozens of people are all Rank-1 experts …"
Although the Inner Palace did not display their full strength when they attacked the city, Lü Shu did not massacre the city. Rumors would definitely spread.
Some people had long guessed that Wu Weijun had more than ten Rank-1 experts. The person who previously said that Wu Weijun only had four to five Rank-1 experts was a little behind in the news. His impression of Wu Weijun was still stuck at the time when they were gambling in Royal City.
However, at this moment, the sound of horses galloping suddenly rang out on the streets of Royal City. The sound of horses' hooves stepping on Royal City's bluestone streets was not a crisp sound, but a shattering sound!
One by one, the huge bluestone tiles were crushed by the horses' hooves. The feeling of destruction caused everyone who was listening to the commotion outside to hold their breath.
They suddenly realized that Wu Weijun, who had just arrived from outside the city, was probably the truly terrifying small group of people in Wu Weijun's army.
The person who had been peeking outside could not help but peek through the gap in the door. He immediately lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Black armor, Flaming Cloud Steeds. I'm afraid it's those people!"
However, just as he finished speaking, the sound of sharp weapons slicing through the air could be heard. With a loud crash, the entire door of the shop was destroyed. All that was left were the terrified faces of the people who were whispering to each other inside. Zhang Weiyu stopped his horse in front of the shop. A cold voice came from the cold visor of the Mountain Quaking Armor, "Who is spying on us?"
After the voice resonated with the metal visor, it sounded like a howl from hell.
The people inside were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground. "We are just ordinary merchants!"
Zhang Weiyu carefully sized them up and urged his horse forward. "I will spare your lives."
