“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.
