Chapter 1046: Thief Shouting Thief
The scene of 5000 armored hors.e.m.e.n rus.h.i.+ng into the palace shocked everyone. The civilians had not seen such a scene in a long time. Some people were secretly watching this scene from a distance. Then, the handsome young man leading the hors.e.m.e.n looked at them and smiled.
The smile was warm but ferocious. It was warm because the young man did not have a murderous look on his face. However, he wore magical armor and blended in with the ferocious hors.e.m.e.n. He suddenly seemed very malicious.
This was a very conflicting feeling, but there was harmony within the Wei Wu Army.
The Wei Wu Army was pumped up. There was no other army other than the Wei Wu Army who had never lost a battle, unless they had never fought before.
The customs in the palace had become more refined and cultured. It seemed to have changed when the old King of G.o.ds started writing poems. Later on, even the people of the Sword Hut started to pursue beauty. The palace of the King of G.o.ds and the Sword Hut, the two strongest sacred grounds, had become cultured. How could everyone else not do the same?
Recently, the children of the palace did not like going out of the palace to gain experiences. Only Li Fangfeng from the Li family had partic.i.p.ated in the Sword Hut selections this year. This was a clue.
But the people of the Luniverse had genes that aided them in combat. Their peace was achieved by the blood of their ancestors. How could a training culture lack battles?
The bloodthirsty Wei Wu Army had started killing from the east entrance of the palace. The Sword Hut, who was in charge of guarding the palace, did not even care. The soldiers of the Wei Wu Army simply got off their horses at the end of the road.
Even the wealthy families in the palace did not go out of their houses. No one wanted to be involved in this bloodshed.
The heads of the families sat in their respective houses. They looked at their extravagant decorations and their beautiful wives beside them. They suddenly thought that the foundation of the wealthy families in the palace was not the ability to seek luck and avoid calamity. It was pure strength.
Turbulent times had come. Some people were eliminated by the times because they craved ease and comfort.
They thought about how the Sun and Song families had worked together to buy magical armor. All of them knew that these pieces of armor were for the young commander of the Wei Wu Army. But they felt amused. What could the small Wei Wu Army do?
But the Wei Wu Army who they had laughed about had now entered the palace to build diplomatic ties.
Of course, if the Wei Wu Army messed around, some of the wealthy families could work together and sanction them. But what if they used all of their magical armor? What if the Wei Wu Army expanded by several times?
Earlier, they had thought that as long as Lu Shu had not advanced to the master realm, the Wei Wu Army would not have an established foundation in this training culture.
But after the battle on the limestone road, who dared to be sure that this young man would not be able to advance to the master realm?
Luniverse and his Wei Wu Army were like sharks that had suddenly come to the peaceful palace and Luniverse. They caused all the creatures to awaken!
They had to wake up. If not, they would die.
Earlier on, Lu Shu had felt that the 21 people behind him were like wolves. But they had far too few people. The Wei Wu Army was the true wolf!
Li Heitan shouted, “Great Lord, we are here to save you!”
Liu Yizhao, who was beside him, slapped the back of Li Heitan’s head. “Does the Great Lord have to be saved?!”
“Yes, yes, yes. Great Lord, we… we are here to eliminate the bandits!”
Lu Shu was speechless.
Lu Xiaoyu was silent.
Eliminate the bandits?
Everyone was observing the situation from various places. Some used messenger mirrors to watch what was happening live from hidden lookouts. The scenes and sounds would be transmitted back home as quickly as possible.
When they heard Li Heitan say that they were here to eliminate bandits, they were speechless. Had they come all the way to the palace to eliminate bandits? Huh?
Were there bandits in the palace?
Wait. There were bandits. The Wei Wu Army was previously a group of bandits. They were from the Azure Dragon Village, and subsequently Escape Poverty and Make a Fortune!
What was happening? A group of bandits had come to the palace and shouted thief!
If Li Heitan were to hear this, he would be unhappy. They were indeed from the Azure Dragon Village in the past, but after they had started doing homework and attending cultural cla.s.ses, they were called the Azure Study Group!
When Lu Shu saw the Wei Wu Army arrive, he felt that he was successful in his change of strategy, although he did not expect the Wei Wu Army to come. He did not expect them to be daring enough to storm the palace.
Lu Shu was used to making a living by wandering from place to place with Lu Xiaoyu. Thus, when the Heavenly Network wanted to recruit them, they faced many difficulties. Even Nie Ting’s accidental advance to Shen Cang Jing was because of Lu Shu.
Although they had joined the Heavenly Network later on, it was simply the Heavenly Network.
Now, they had come to the Luniverse with the mentality that they were visitors. They planned to leave at any time.
They could go, but would the Wei Wu Army follow them? Lu Shu felt that there was no need to force them to do so. They could part without hard feelings.
From the very beginning, Lu Shu had built a cooperative relations.h.i.+p with them. He would be able to cut the knot as smoothly as he had tied it.
Thus, when Lu Shu came to the palace, he did not allow anyone to follow him. He did not want to involve them in the true danger.
But now, they had met him here. They were willing to risk their lives for him.
“Great Lord, get on!” Li Heitan jumped into the sky from his horse. Then, Liu Yizhao pulled him to his own horse. The two of them shared one horse.
This movement was very smooth. It was as if it had been discussed in advance. This strong horse had been prepared for Lu Shu as well.
Lu Shu smiled. He grabbed the halter of the horse and jumped up. The moment he sat up straight, he stretched his hand to the ground. Lu Xiaoyu, who was underground, shot up her hand. In a second, Lu Xiaoyu was on the same horse as Lu Shu, tightly holding on to his waist.
These movements were very smooth as well. They had not discussed this, but had natural chemistry.
The 21 tattooed underlings turned and ran. The Wei Wu Army followed behind them. They ran towards the south of the palace. The Wei Wu Army split into three groups to encircle and intercept the enemy. It was as if no one was in the palace.
The various stakeholders in the palace were speechless. Jiang Shuyi, who was on the rear mountain of the Sword Hut, was dumbfounded when he saw this as well. “It should have been a b.l.o.o.d.y scene, but with this twist, it’s as if Lu Shu is playing a turn-based game…”
Slowly, the 21 tattooed underlings were chased to the southwest corner of the palace. But it was as if they had an escape route. Their leader took out a purple pearl and suddenly shattered it into pieces. Then, the 21 tattooed underlings entered a s.p.a.ce pathway and disappeared.
Lu Shu was shocked. What was this? They had created a portal!
He stared at the spot where the 21 tattooed underlings had disappeared. Suddenly, he maneuvered the halter towards the west entrance of the palace. “Let’s get out of the palace and go home!”
