Chapter 1262 - Messenger (1/2)

The army made up of over 100 thousand soldiers from the wealthy families had been formed in haste. No wealthy family dared to station a large number of troops in the palace to protect themselves. In other words, before Duanmu Huangqi attacked the palace, no wealthy family from the palace felt that any dangers would appear in the palace.

With the palace of the King of Gods and the Sword Hut around, who would launch an attack on the Sword Hut, unless it was as part of the Sword Hut ceremony?

Thus, to form this massive army, hundreds of people left the palace. Then, they transferred practitioners from the family businesses in the cities and added them to the army. Gradually, a massive army was formed.

There was a very obvious problem. It would be very tiring to command these people.

When Lu Shu and the rest disappeared, the masters had been troubled over the formation of an army. They had lived in comfort for too long. If they did not fight, their flaws would not be exposed. But once they fought, they would be done for.

They were grateful that Lu Shu did not directly attack the West Capital. if not, their panic and messy execution would turn them into a joke.

The wealthy families did not trust one another either. Thus, their armies pitched campsites a few kilometers away from one another. If they were too close to one another, they would not be able to react if someone launched an attack.

But at that moment, a messenger came to the Song family military camp.

The messenger ran over with bare feet. His hair was tied back. His clothes were wide and comfortable. He did not even seem nervous when he stood at the entrance of the campsite and facing countless practitioners from the Song family.

“I am Liu Yizhao, servant of the Great Lord. I would like to see the boss of the Song family, Xiao Mingze… the chief officer Zhao Shuai will do as well,” said Liu Yizhao with a smile.

Lu Shu did not want to send Liu Yizhao over. However, Liu Yizhao went to find Lu Shu and told him that Lu Shu could give him the most dangerous job… he wanted to break through the final step of his cultivation with a life and death situation.

When Lu Shu heard this, he understood that Liu Yizhao was very close to the master realm. Like Nie Ting, he was stuck at this level. Whether he would be able to break through would be up to divine will.

Nie Ting had sought a battle to break through and Liu Yizhao was doing the same. Although there was a rather large gap between Liu Yizhao’s talents and Nie Ting’s, it was already shocking enough that Liu Yizhao was able to reach this level!

Sending Liu Yizhao to the Song family was a huge risk. Even though the Song family was sincere, he would never truly know their intentions. You would not be able to determine who your true comrades were when you were not at the verge of death.

Someone walked out of the Song family campsite. He looked at Liu Yizhao in shock. “You… you are Liu Yizhao!”

Liu Yizhao smiled. “That’s me. Chief officer Zhao, are you well?”

Zhao Shuai observed Liu Yizhao in shock. For some reason, although they were both Rank Ones, he felt that Liu Yizhao was much stronger than him. This feeling was not unfounded. The stronger a practitioner was, the more they should trust their intuition.

Liu Yizhao thought about it and it appeared Li Liang was right. As the chief officer of the Song family, Zhao Shuai would definitely be sent to this battle.

But at this moment, a middle-aged man walked over. He looked at Liu Yizhao, then looked at Zhao Shuai. In the end, he said to Liu Yizhao, “I am the commander of the Song family forces, Song Changying. If you have something to say, you can speak to me.”

Liu Yizhao smiled. “My Great Lord has said that we will only talk to chief officer Zhao and boss Xiao. We do not care about who you are.”
