On the inner city wall, nobody had moved since Lü Shu had left. Everyone stood in place, waiting for Lü Shu's return.
They knew that Lü Shu had his reasons for leaving through the black pearl without saying a word. Now, they just needed to wait for Lü Shu to come back and tell them the results.
They waited for more than an hour. When they sensed the spatial fluctuation again, Lü Shu had already appeared on the city wall with the dying Ming Yueye.
No one recognized Ming Yueye. Zhang Weiyu and the others didn't know what was going on. They even thought that this bloody person had been beaten up by Lü Shu.
Lü Shu looked at Zhang Weiyu. "He's still breathing. Take him to recuperate. He's Ming Yueye."
With that, Lü Shu fed Ming Yueye a Marrow Cleansing Fruit. Only then did he let Zhang Weiyu take him away.
According to Lü Shu's perception, Ming Yueye had been tortured to the point where he only had one breath left. Fortunately, he had the powerful recovery ability of a cultivator. As long as Ming Yueye ate the Marrow Cleansing Fruit and recovered his tortured foundation, he wouldn't die.
Yu Fuyao's slave was also ruthless. He actually destroyed Ming Yueye's foundation.
However, Yu Fuyao should be very clear that Lv Shu had the Marrow Cleansing Fruit that could save his foundation, so this kind of injury was nothing.
Zhang Weiyu and the other Inner Palace officials were all stunned. "Master Ming? You said this is Master Ming? "
There was no time to think. Zhang Weiyu hurriedly carried Ming Yueye and ran into the inner city. They all thought that Ming Yueye had died long ago. They didn't expect Lü Shu to give them such a big surprise today.
Jiang Shuyi and Gu Lingfei hadn't left yet. Jiang Shuyi directly said, "Yu Fuyao?"
Lü Shu nodded. "How did you know?"
Jiang Shuyi smiled. "I have been investigating this matter since I came back. However, the other party did not reveal any flaws."
Lü Shu had to admit that if it wasn't for this Pearl of Darkness, he would have thought that the puppeteer's elder brother was already dead.
However, this wasn't something that would affect the overall situation. Moreover, Yu Fuyao didn't view Lü Shu as an enemy. In her eyes, she only wanted to accomplish her final goal and make everyone suffer. As for the details in front, she didn't particularly care.
Lü Shu thought of the people in Yu Fuyao's temporary imperial residence. He wondered how many Great Grandmasters Yu Fuyao had nurtured over the years to dare to give Lü Shu so much help.
There was also Qing Kong. To be honest, Lü Shu was most worried about the rumored Honest Man.
Currently, the Northern Prefecture was still peaceful. This was very strange.
The other party had prepared for so long, and now they were finally going to reveal their true intentions.
Yi Qian, who was beside Lü Shu, suddenly said, "The Eastern Prefecture's Yu Fuyao has finally begun to gather his troops. The first batch will probably arrive very soon."
Lü Shu nodded. "Where is Sun Xiuwen?"
"They have already prepared ships in the Western Prefecture. They will be able to reach the Hidden Dragon River's tributary if they follow the river!" Li Liang analyzed the situation and said, "There are boats from the Eastern State as well. Even though it is not difficult for cultivators to go against the current, the downstream of the Hidden Dragon River has been cut off. The boats from the Eastern State can only reach two hundred miles away. Sun Xiuwen should still be faster than them."
Lü Zhou's river surged eastward. There were snowy mountains in the Western Prefecture. The river flowed from the snowy mountains to various parts of the Western Prefecture, connecting more than 40 river systems, including the Hidden Dragon River.
Sun Xiuwen had commandeered the ships used by the merchant caravans and the Western Prefecture army's own ships in order to reach the capital as quickly as possible.
The heads of the wealthy clans who stayed behind to await their orders felt bitter in their hearts. Sun Xiuwen was no longer the Western Emperor Of Heaven that they could compare to. Every time they thought of this, they would have mixed feelings.
Li Liang looked at Lü Shu. "My King, the area within a radius of several dozen kilometers around the capital has been turned into a swamp. I'm worried that there are sects in the Eastern Prefecture that have raised water ghosts. Should we take precautions?"
"There's no need." Lü Shu smiled coldly and shook his head. He had heard from Zhang Weiyu that there were some clans in Lü Zhou that specialized in making a living on the water. Some of them even raised ferocious beasts as a tool to make money. Some ferocious beasts could usually tow ships and carry goods. However, when no one was watching over them, they would also kill people. Furthermore, they could move extremely fast in the water, comparable to the flying speed of a first-rank expert.
Li Liang believed that there must be many such clans in the Eastern Prefecture that were eager to take action. However, these things posed no threat to Lü Shu at all. When he really came here, he would understand who was the real boss of the water element.
Moreover, Lü Shu did not even need to personally take action in this underwater battle. The fact that Lü Shu dared to turn the surroundings of the capital into a vast ocean proved that he had the confidence to do so.
Of course, he had seriously discussed this plan with Lü Xiaoyu …
Sometimes, Lü Shu felt that the ruins that Lu Shen had left behind were filled with seafolk in preparation for this day. However, Lu Shen did not expect that the seafolk had already been wiped out by Lü Shu and the others. Even Little White Fish had been swallowed …
However, what Lu Shen did not expect was that Lü Shu now had an even more powerful trump card in the field of water element.
A rich family leader suddenly said, "My Lord, two days ago, some servants noticed a huge black shadow flashing past in the Hidden Dragon River. They suspect that this is the enemy's preemptive move. If my Lord is worried, we can go and deal with the hidden danger underwater!"
Lü Shu looked at the rich family leader and smiled. "It's good to want to do something, but it's not a hidden danger. Alright, you guys can go now. Don't stop quarrying in the mountains. The river also needs to be stabilized."
Although Lü Xiaoyu could directly control Anthony to build a city, the sturdiness of the city still depended on the materials.
Lü Xiaoyu could indeed let Anthony strengthen the city wall. This way, the city wall would be sturdier. Anthony could also repair any damage immediately.
However, a city wall strengthened by a Grandmaster was naturally impregnable. However, he could not sacrifice the combat power of a Grandmaster just because of the sturdiness of the city wall.
As for the huge black shadow underwater that the servants mentioned … Lü Shu felt that it would definitely give those experts who had designs on the underwater city a huge surprise.
He turned to look at Yi Qian. "You must grasp the situation in the Northern Prefecture. Nothing must go wrong."
Yi Qian was stunned for a moment before he accepted the order and left. Li Liang watched this scene from the side and suddenly realized that in Lü Shu's heart, the Northern Prefecture was what he needed to be afraid of the most.
…
Orders were sent out through different communication mirrors. Yi Qian had a separate room in the Inner City. Inside, the entire wall was filled with communication mirrors. Each mirror was the size of a palm, and there were probably thousands of them in this room.
