Could you not follow me so closely?
Sun Zhongyang looked at the other wealthy families angrily.
Why don’t you just ride the same horse as me?

 

The other wealthy families put on a fake smile.
The Sun family is rushing to the West Capital. Who knows what you are up to? What, are you trying to go to the Lord of Heaven and take credit for someone else’s achievements? What, are you better than the rest of the palace because you have a master in your family now?

 

Sun Zhongyang suddenly realized that Duanmu Huangqi had never been fond of the wealthy families in the palace. He had always treated the wealthy families in the palace like ants. Now, to the other wealthy families, this was a chance to form ties with Duanmu Huangqi.
 

After all, the Luniverse was going through a reform. If they had the support of a Lord of Heaven, they would be more stable.
 

But Sun Zhongyang did not agree with this point of view. Cooperating with Duanmu Huangqi would be like asking a tiger for its skin. Duanmu Huangqi was very distrusting and had a very high opinion of himself.
Even though the Sun family had a master, they were not willing to form ties with Duanmu Huangqi. If Lu Shu lost, and the ordinary wealthy families in the palace depended on Duanmu Huangqi, they would not even be able to obtain the bones that Duanmu Huangqi ate.
 

But Lu Shu was different. Sun Zhongyang knew that although Lu Shu was also cautious and distrusting, he still had principles…
 

Suddenly, a few people in the group were dumbfounded. The messenger mirror was vibrating!
 

They fished out the messenger mirror and received new information. The person in the palace of the King of Gods seemed to be unhappy with the small amount of people the wealthy families were sending out. They ordered each family to send out 10 thousand troops!
 

The wealthy families in the palace wanted to only send out a small number of people. They often feigned compliance. But this time, the palace of the King of Gods did not allow them to slip away unpunished!
 

This meant that there would be 140 thousand troops chasing after Sun Zhongyang and the rest. Sun Zhongyang could not help but furrow his eyebrows. Was Lu Shu actually able to withstand the pressure of these troops and Duanmu Huangqi?
 

Sun Zhongyang furrowed his eyebrows. Why had the Sword Hut not made a move?
 

Had the Sword Hut given up on Lu Shu? Or did they think that Duanmu Huangqi and the wealthy families from the palace would not be able to do much to Lu Shu?
 

The former was rational. After all, the Sword Hut had never gone against the palace of the King of Gods. Although the head of the Sword Hut had attacked the palace of the King of Gods before, the head of the Sword Hut was very unique.
 

But if the latter was true, and the Sword Hut believed in Lu Shu, then how did the senior disciple of the Sword Hut view Lu Shu?
 

Sun Zhongyang did not want to think about it. He felt that he would not be able to understand this with his current level of information. He simply continued to advance.
 

Rationally, they should wait for their troops to join them, but Sun Zhongyang single-handedly led the slaves from the Sun family. The other families had no choice but to continue chasing him…
 

Some people were upset. They did not want the Sun family to keep moving. Sun Zhongyang laughed coldly.
If you are tired, you don’t have to chase us.

 

Everyone stopped complaining, but they started to scold him in their minds. If the Sun family had not traveled day and night, they could remain calm and composed.
 

If Duanmu Huangqi had killed Lu Shu by then, they could continue being rich and idle people.
 

Some wealthy families had wanted to buy time. It was a pity that their plans could not catch up.
 

On the way, news that Lu Shu and the others destroyed cities one by one streamed in. Furthermore, there were civilians in these cities, but the Imperial Dragon Soldiers did not kill civilians. Thus, compared to the destruction of the Liujian Pass, the process of how these cities had been destroyed was more complete.
 

This information gave people the jitters. It was said that yesterday, when Lu Shu and the rest destroyed the city, there were only about 50 people from the Wei Wu Army.
 

A city had been destroyed by just over 50 people. Furthermore, it did not seem to have taken them much effort.
 

The strength of the Wei Wu Army was difficult for others to grasp.
 

There had never been an army which was as ferocious as the Wei Wu Army… no. There had been an invincible army that had disappeared. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers.
 

There were times when Sun Zhongyang thought about it. If the Imperial Dragon Soldiers had reappeared, this was probably them, right?
 

He did not know that the Wei Wu Army had changed their name to the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. He had never personally experienced the ferocity of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers.
 

When the cities that had not been attacked in the West Region saw Zhang Weiyu, it was like looking at their father…
 

According to Sun Zhongyang’s plan, they would encounter Lu Shu in about a day. In his mind, he was constantly thinking about how to resolve the relationship between the wealthy families and Lu Shu. He was also thinking about how to make the Sun family seem neither haughty nor humble.
 

Sun Xunwen was still keeping vigil beside the coffin of the former family head. He wanted to keep an eye on the activity in the palace of the King of Gods.
 

Sun Zhongyang was very close to his grandfather and wanted to keep vigil as well. But a transformation was about to occur. He could not wait any longer.
 

When night fell, the wealthy families stopped. They made a fire and cooked meals. After some rest, they continued to advance forward.
 

At this moment, the other wealthy families were about to collapse. They did not know why Sun Zhongyang was rushing. They were a group of uncles who enjoyed their high positions and lived in comfort in the palace. Now, they were going to fall apart!
 

Someone sat by the bonfire and looked at the Sun family. They laughed coldly.
The Sun family is probably trying to break away from the rest of the wealthy families just because they have a master. The wealthy families in the palace have been able to continue standing because our ancestors understood that we are intimately interdependent. Has the Sun family ever seen the wealthy families fight to death?

The person did not speak softly. They wanted Sun Zhongyang to hear this.
 

Of course, he was not wrong. There had never been a master among the wealthy families in the palace. They had always faced problems of life and death together. Now, this relationship was breaking apart.
 

Sun Zhongyang furrowed his eyebrows and did not speak, as he could not speak.
 

He could not tell these people that the Sun family believed that a great political change was about to occur. A Lord of Heaven might die! This seemed deliberately exaggerated. Furthermore, people would immediately betray the Sun family.
 

While the wealthy families were standing with daggers drawn, someone suddenly said,
Um… sorry to disturb. I’m sorry to tell you that you have been surrounded…

 

Sun Zhongyang and the rest were shocked. They looked around. Countless armored soldiers had appeared around the campsite. These armored soldiers softly muttered,
Are these people here to fight? They seem tragic.

 


Are they refugees?

 


I don’t care. Since they appeared here, there must be something wrong…

 

Among these armored soldiers, the flag with
escape poverty and make a fortune
written on it fluttered in the wind.
