Chapter 1291: The End
To the civilians in the palace, although the Wei Wu Army had previously stormed the palace with their horses, nothing out of the ordinary had happened. They went around the palace and left the city.
Although the ma.s.sacre at the limestone road sounded very ferocious, it was treated as an accident. For example, if a new aristocrat was occasionally arrogant, people would still be able to accept this. It was only puzzling that no one had punished them.
But this time, it was different. The Wei Wu Army had said that all those who dared to leave the palace would die. This meant that they were against the entire palace. It was not an uprising of a new aristocrat. They were about to overturn the order of the palace.
Were they going to move into the palace?
When the imperial edict was issued by the palace of the King of G.o.ds, civilians who talked about this in private all felt that the Wei Wu Army was done for. But shortly after, news that the elites from the palace had been murdered reached their ears.
They loved to talk about politics after a meal. No one could stop the pa.s.sion of the civilians towards politics. At this moment, they felt that something was wrong. Everyone felt that the Wei Wu Army was unstoppable.
Then, the news that there was a new West Lord of Heaven came. No one expected that the Lord of Heaven, who had existed for thousands of years, would collapse.
What about the new king?
Since the palace of the King of G.o.ds had issued an imperial edict, why was the Wei Wu Army still active?
Until now, no one felt that the Wei Wu Army would do anything else out of the ordinary. They felt that the Wei Wu Army should guard the West Region. But now, they heard that the Wei Wu Army was heading towards the palace.
These waves of shocking news left everyone helpless. The Wei Wu Army was far too ferocious. It was as if they were about to topple the system of the imperial court that they were used to for thousands of years..
Now, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers had suddenly appeared in the palace. Furthermore, they attacked and formed rivers of blood. Cold and cruel breaths were emitted from their helmets. This was a chilling sight.
No one dared to move. No one dared to escape the palace. All they could do was to try and not attract the attention of these demons.
Li Heitan felt that this was slightly boring. He had thought that this ma.s.sacre in the palace would be shocking. He did not expect it to end after a short attack.
He wanted to continue!
He looked at the streets. He wanted to kill a few more people and show off his aura. But Li Liang said through the communication channel, “Don’t kill the innocent.”
Li Liang had seen many people like Li Heitan.
There were times where the ma.s.sacre of inhabitants in a city was not because of a command, but because the demons in their hearts had been released. After people’s hearts were engulfed by demons, they became beasts and animals. They destroyed and played with all the lives they could see.
Li Liang respected Lu Shu for the fact that he remained clear-headed when he attacked the West Region. Furthermore, he was able to make Li Heitan and the others promise to maintain their true selves.
Back then, the old King of G.o.ds had indulged in killing the inhabitants of cities. But now, Lu Shu had moral values. He never gave in or indulged in temptations.
Li Liang felt that this was very good. Following an owner who was kind was much better than following a cold and emotionless one.
At least he did not need to worry that he would fall into an abyss just with one small mistake.
This time, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers did not hurry through the palace. Their armor crashed against one another. No one dared to look directly at them.
Over the past few hundred years, prioritizing a proper education over a physical education had been trending. Males easily struck favor with the girls in the palace by dressing up in a delicate style. Some males even put on their own make-up, becoming even more beautiful than females.
Some girls would even throw their handkerchiefs at these males when they walked along the streets of the palace. This was to display their love.
But when the Imperial Dragon Soldiers traveled, the beautiful males hid at the sides of the road. They silently lowered their heads. They did not even dare to breathe.
Li Heitan and the others did not take off their helmets. The patterns on the helmets made them seem even more frightening and ferocious.
When the girls saw this, they suddenly felt that there was something wrong with their minds back then. They actually fell for such males who were not manly at all.
There was nothing wrong with pretty boys, but the appreciation of beauty in the palace was excessive. Being pretty was not enough. They had to be gorgeous.
When these males were compared to Li Heitan and the rest, some girls even felt a desire to be conquered. So these were men.
Of course, these were the thoughts of only a small proportion of the girls in the palace, Furthermore, Li Heitan and the rest could not represent all the males in the world.
But the street of killing, the smell of blood, and the cold but cruel helmets caused everyone to form a strange sense of admiration. No wonder the Wei Wu Army was so ferocious. They were the fabled Wei Wu Army!
Back then, when the Wei Wu Army charged into the palace on their horses, most people did not witness it for themselves. After all, no one dared to approach the limestone road. Those who had witnessed the Wei Wu Army were very shocked, especially since the palace had prioritized proper education over physical education.
But Li Heitan and the others did not care about these people. Instead, they headed to the Peach Blossom a.s.sociation.
Not long after, the masters in the Peach Blossom a.s.sociation heard heavy footsteps. They knew that the Wei Wu Army was coming for them. Their slaves came and reported that the Wei Wu Army was getting closer and closer to the Peach Blossom a.s.sociation!
But when they heard the sound of the armor and their footsteps, they panicked.
What should they do? How should they deal with this group of murderers?
But after thinking about it, they understood that they were helpless. As they waited for the Wei Wu Army to arrive, they understood how amusing their calculations were.
They would not rest until they met their objectives. Many people in this world had a mysterious trust in luck.
Li Heitan and the rest surrounded the Peach Blossom a.s.sociation. All those who dared to approach them would die.
Li Liang led the Imperial Dragon Soldiers and entered the Peach Blossom a.s.sociation. None of the King’s Studies scholars and the aristocrats dared to speak.
As they thought about how they should escape, Li Liang suddenly saluted someone behind them. “Great Lord, the palace has been sealed.”
The masters looked back in shock. They saw Lu Shu, who had returned to his original appearance, happily looking at them.
Li Liang said that the palace had been sealed.
They did not leave any troops to guard the city, but he spoke clearly and confidently. He was very sure that no one would risk their lives against them!
Lu Shu laughed at the masters. “Didn’t you ask what I was doing just now? Come, come. Everyone who comes here will receive a book. I will speak to everyone later. Not all my people are here yet.”
The masters were all dumbfounded. Not all my people are here yet? Where was the rest of the Wei Wu Army?
They suddenly had a very unpleasant premonition. It was the end for them!
