Spare Me, Great Lord!

When the “escape poverty and make a fortune” flag appeared, Sun Zhongyang and the rest understood who they were surrounded by. After all, the flag was unique in the entire Luniverse. No one dared to imitate them. No one was willing to imitate them either. It was too embarrassing.

But even if they had not seen the flag, which other elite army would be able to surround the wealthy families from the palace? Only the peak elites, like the Wei Wu Army.

Sun Zhongyang felt that even the elites under Duanmu Huangqi would not have been able to do so. Furthermore, the patrons had all died. There were not as many peak experts under Duanmu Huangqi as one had imagined.

A rough voice from among the Wei Wu Army asked, “My Great Lord asks, where do you come from?”

As he spoke, their formation grew tighter. They suppressed over 1000 people from the wealthy families in the palace. These people did not even dare to move. The sound of the armor rubbing against one another sounded like a knife sharpening against a grindstone.

The slaves from the wealthy families in the palace praised themselves for being elite fighters. When they heard stories about the Wei Wu Army, they often thought that they were only few in numbers. If they were able to gather 5000 people, they would definitely be stronger than the Wei Wu Army.

But when they actually faced the Wei Wu Army, which they had looked down upon, they suddenly realized that they did not even have the courage to fight back.

These beasts had trained their chemistry. They were different from the elites in the palace, who enjoyed their high positions and lived in comfort. The Wei Wu Army had probably killed more people this year than they had in their entire lives!

But they observed the Wei Wu Army again. Under the circumstances that they had more people and strength than their enemies, they continued to be cautious against their enemies. Although their words were harsh, there were no gaps in their formation!

The minute problems in their formation had been perfectly patched up after some casual discussion among these uncles. It was said that tigers captured and killed rabbits using all their strength. Although the Wei Wu Army had fought many battles, they were not conceited.

There was definitely something wrong with people who often won, but these flaws could not be seen in the Wei Wu Army.

Who would have known that within the Wei Wu Army, no matter whether it was Li Liang or Zhang Weiyu, they were all seasoned veterans. How could they commit low-leveled mistakes? Once conceited thoughts formed among the army, they would immediately get rid of them. They would even inflict punishment.

To Li Liang and Zhang Weiyu, it was better for them to punish these people, than to lose lives due to pride.

The elites from the palace observed the Wei Wu Army. The faces of the soldiers were covered by the shadow of their helmets. They did not even give their enemies the opportunity to observe them.

How could this tight formation be achieved by a new army? This was a true weapon made for war!

Suddenly, Sun Zhongyang raised his hands. “I am Sun Zhongyang. Great Lord, please come out.”

At this moment, Sun Zhongyang suddenly realized that he did not even have the courage to call Lu Shu by his name. Instead, he called Lu Shu, Great Lord!

Sun Zhongyang understood that the young man, who had once happily traveled with him, was now on another level. He could only look up to the young man!

“Hm?” There was a sound from among the people. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers gave way. Lu Shu appeared from the crowd and came in front. He smiled. “Needless to say, this is the first time seeing you so unkempt. I couldn’t recognize you!”

Sun Zhongyang observed Lu Shu’s cheery appearance. How could he have not recognized him? Evidently, Lu Shu had recognized him, but did not want to.

But this was not the time for a conflict. Sun Zhongyang gritted his teeth and said, “Great Lord, I have something to discuss with you. Please let me speak first!”

“No.” Lu Shu waved his hand. “It’s not the time for you to speak. Let me ask you first. What are you wealthy families trying to do, going to the West Region to create a commotion?”

The action of coming to the West Region meant that they had joined in the situation. Since they had joined, then they should put aside their former friendships. To Lu Shu, there were not many things in this world that was worth protecting. He still had to bring the Wei Wu Army back alive.

Sun Zhongyang explained. “The palace of the King of Gods has issued orders for the wealthy families in the palace of the King of Gods to help Duanmu Huangqi chase you?”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “Orders from the palace of the King of Gods? From who?”

This question stumped the wealthy families. Sun Zhongyang thought about it. “The new King of Gods?”

“Have you ever seen the person who gives out orders?” Lu Shu asked unkindly.

“No one has ever emerged from the palace of the King of Gods since a very long time ago. In the past, the Puppet Masters were the ones who issued orders. But later on, they also disappeared,” said Sun Zhongyang.

“They are deliberately making themselves mysterious.” Lu Shu laughed coldly. The mastermind did not even dare to reveal himself. Was there a god or a ghost inside the palace of the King of Gods?

The wealthy families did not dare to speak, as Lu Shu had accused the palace of the King of Gods of intentionally mystifying matters. They did not dare to accept this.

But at this moment, everyone realized that this young man did not even care about the palace of the King of Gods!

Sun Zhongyang suddenly remembered what his father had said. The palace of the King of Gods had been vacant for a long time.

He was shocked. Did Lu Shu think the same way? What secret was the palace of the King of Gods hiding?

“If that’s the case.” Lu Shu turned and looked straight at the elites. “Are you here to surround me?”

Sun Zhongyang panicked. “Not necessarily! My father advanced to the master realm a few days ago. After he gained the position of family head, the first thing I did was to rush over. This is to display the sincerity of the Sun family!”

As he spoke, the people from the Sun family distanced themselves from the other wealthy families. The flag was clearly facing off against the rest of the wealthy families.

But at this moment, Sun Zhongyang still felt uncomfortable. Being surrounded by Lu Shu made others feel like he had acted based on his strong desire to survive under the threat of the Wei Wu Army. There was no actual sincerity.

It would have been much better if he did not have to accept this name card under such forced circumstances!

But it was too late for regrets. Who would have thought that the Wei Wu Army, who was hundreds of kilometers away, would suddenly appear here? Anyway, how did the Wei Wu Army discover them? They did not find any suspicious people.

Sun Zhongyang did not know that there were no suspicious people. However, the Mice Army had covered a radius of a few hundred kilometers.

Little Fury’s underlings hid in the mountains. They were in charge of keeping a lookout in secret. There were no holes they could not enter. Furthermore, there was a massive amount of mice. They were Lu Shu’s strongest informers. There were no suspicious people, but there were numerous suspicious mice.

With the Mice Army, no army could secretly approach the Imperial Dragon Soldiers.

When Little Fury looked at the doubtful gazes from Sun Zhongyang and the others, it displayed a scornful expression… recently, its imperial concubines had returned. It had also filled in the gaps in its commanding structure. The current Mice Army was very strong!

Liu Yizhao was even more free. He was not afraid that Little Fury would steal his job. After all, the Great Lord did not care much about him.
