Chapter 1254: New Beginning for the Sun Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The place was completely silent. Who would expect Sun Xunwen to suddenly make a breakthrough and achieve a feat that n.o.body in the wealthy families of the palace had managed in the past thousands of years?
He was a master. A Rank One expert’s life expectancy was 800 years but a master could live more than 3000 years. If Sun Xunwen became the master of the family, n.o.body would have a chance in the future!
By then, the Sun family would become Sun Xunwen’s!
But what could they do? Who would be able to do anything to a master at this time?
At this moment, the palace experienced a turn of events. Before the wealthy families could regain their senses from the astonishment they got from the imperial edict, the first master of the wealthy families had appeared.
In the past, the palace had five upper wealthy families and nine lower wealthy families. In the future, the Sun family would definitely outs.h.i.+ne the others.
Everyone had become too used to the status quo. The dynasty before the old King of G.o.ds only lasted for several hundreds of years before the fall of the kings. If the kings could maintain the current status quo, what about the wealthy families?
Moreover, Sun Xunwen suddenly appeared and caused panic amongst the wealthy families. In the past, people did not expect masters to emerge from the palace. Moreover, they used “how could they allow the prowess of the old King of G.o.ds to be admired by others” to hide their embarra.s.sment. Now, could they still hide their embarra.s.sment?
Sun Xunwen saw his father keep silent and continued speaking respectfully, “The Sun family did not manage to act in time during the occasion on the limestone road. This caused us to miss the best opportunity to rely on the young man. Now, since the palace of the King of G.o.ds have given its orders, everything on Earth has been given to Lu Shu. This is our last chance.”
After saying this, everyone in the Sun family was astonished. “Do you know what you are saying? The order came from the palace of the King of G.o.ds, you dare to disobey it?”
Sun Xunwen took a side glance at the rest. “If I disobey the order, my whole family will be in trouble too. All of you better shut up. Moreover, there’s n.o.body in the palace of the King of G.o.ds and I wonder who is the one faking the imperial edict.”
A family was like that and everyone was dragged into the matter. If Sun Xunwen insisted on his actions, the Sun family could only continue following Sun Xunwen’s path!
“Do you have evidence?” frowned the master of the Sun family.
“I don’t have evidence but I am very certain,” said Sun Xunwen politely.
“Do you really think that the young man and the Wei Wu Army can win?” asked the master of the Sun family.
“Yes,” said Sun Xunwen, “Father, have you ever seen anyone’s Heavenly Visions extend for hundreds of miles?”
“No, I haven’t,” sighed the master of the Sun family as he shook his head.
“Father, have you seen anyone who is able to kill 12 patrons when he is only a Rank One?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“Father, have you seen anyone who claimed that they wanted to kill the Lord of Heaven?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“Father, have you seen anyone who dared to ride horses in the palace?”
“No, I haven’t.”
“Father, have you ever seen anyone from the Sword Hut who attacked because of others?” asked Sun Xunwen seriously, “What do all of you think about Lu Shu’s status in the Sword Hut? Have any of you thought about which side the Sword Hut stands on?”
Everyone kept silent. Yes, Lu Shu was a disciple of the Sword Hut. The senior disciple of the Sword Hut had once attacked Duanmu Huangqi because of Lu Shu, but what about now? How would the Sword Hut make its choice?
Everyone knew that ever since the old King of G.o.ds left, the Sword Hut and the palace of the King of G.o.ds were no longer close. So was it possible for the Sword Hut to make a complete break with the palace of the King of G.o.ds?
“You are the one who says that the Sword Hut would make a complete break with the palace of the King of G.o.ds because of Lu Shu. I don’t believe it,” someone said coldly.
“Then the problem comes,” said Sun Xunwen calmly, “What if there’s n.o.body in the palace of the King of G.o.ds? Can you still imagine what will happen? I am not asking all of you to attack and kill, all of you can just stand behind me and the name Sun Xunwen. I will bring about a new beginning for the Sun family.”
In the past, Sun Xunwen was a learned and refined person. Now, after he reached the master realm, his tone became more charismatic. He knew that it was a gamble. If he lost, he would end up in the dark abyss. However, so what, the palace of the King of G.o.ds was planning to push the wealthy families to die!
The wealthy families of the palace who had lived in comfort all their lives would definitely lose to the Wei Wu Army. Moreover, the Wei Wu Army were worse than hungry wolves. Sun Xunwen was unable to confirm what they were.
However, if they won the gamble, Sun Xunwen would be able to continue bringing luck to the Sun family for 3000 years!
However, Sun Xunwen was suspecting it himself, if there was n.o.body left in the palace of the King of G.o.ds, then who was the person who pretended to give the imperial edict?
The master of the Sun family said, “Kneel down, Sun Xunwen.”
Sun Xunwen lifted his s.h.i.+rt and knelt on the ground before making three bows respectfully. Then, the master of the Sun family said, “Today, I pa.s.s the position as the master to Sun Xunwen, you will bear the honor and shame of the family, I hope you think before you act in the future and bring about new beginnings for the Sun family.”
After he said that, the master of the Sun family left as though he fulfilled one of his wishes.
Sun Xunwen stood up and said to Sun Zhongyang who had just arrived, “Bring 200 people and head to the West now.”
“Father, is 200 people too little?” Sun Zhongyang was shocked.
“It’s not too little, there’s no purpose even if you bring 200 or 20,000 people. You have to remember that the main character is still the Wei Wu Army. We are only going to complain about them. From now on, the Sun family will no longer work with the other wealthy families of the palace. If there are any fence sitters in the clan, I, Sun Xunwen, will kill them personally,” said Sun Xunwen calmly.
The most hated person in this world were fence sitters. They claimed to help the Wei Wu Army but were affiliated with other people and caused problems. At the end of the day, both sides were offended.
“Father, what if the Wei Wu Army do not accept our complaint?” asked Sun Zhongyang.
Sun Xunwen sighed after giving it some thought, “We are a step too late.”
According to Sun Xunwen, the Wei Wu Army had attained its aura. The best timing for them would have been the night when they were at the limestone road.
However… At that time, none of the wealthy families of the palace dared to bow down to a young man.
The wealthy families of the palace began to move. When Sun Zhongyang brought 200 people out of the city, he suddenly realized that the other wealthy families brought quite a few people too. The number of the Sun family was not the least.
Afterall, n.o.body wanted to be a.s.sociated with wicked doings or be sacrificed. Therefore, it would be good to send some people to check out the situation first.
n.o.body knew that the Sun family was not there to surround the Wei Wu Army. Who knew that Sun Xunwen had the courage?
Sun Zhongyang had always respected his father. Therefore, he agreed with Sun Xunwen’s decision.
For some reason, when Sun Zhongyang thought about how the Sun family went against the whole world, he antic.i.p.ated it.
The young man who had once worked with him was now standing at the peak in the world. He was neither indignant or jealous, but instead hoped that the young man could reach greater heights!
That was the only way to prove that he and his father Sun Xunwen were not wrong.
