Chapter 1293: Surrender of the Wealthy Families

When the sound of the horses faded away, a terrible scene was left behind on the once-neat limestone bricks. Actually, Zhang Weiyu was not cruel. Everyone who had interacted with him knew that if Zhang Weiyu wanted to be cruel, Li Liang would not be able to take the position of the commander of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers.

Li Liang was able to take the position because he was crueler than Zhang Weiyu.

Both Li Liang and Zhang Weiyu, as well as Lu Shu, knew that one had to be cruel to control an army.

The reason they made Li Liang take over this position was not because they liked cruelty. Instead, they were aware that in this battle, they could only win if they were as cruel as their enemies.

If Lu Shu had to make a choice between the lives of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers and the lives of others, he would definitely choose the former.

Now, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers had to scare their opponents cruelly so to make their opponents bow down to them!

However, after they heard that the horses had left, they looked up and suddenly realized that the people wearing black armor were riding on Blazing Cloud Foals. Moreover, there was a group of people with their hands tied behind them.

Those people had their hands tied and mouths stuffed to prevent them from complaining.

The horses did not travel too quickly. They moved at a speed that was just nice enough for these people to catch up to.

The Imperial Palace Soldiers did not drag the people on the ground like what Duanmu Huangqi did.

They were still slightly empathetic and only made them chase from behind.

However, Zhang Weiyu thought that their empathy should end here. The wealthy families should have thought about this when they led the soldiers to the West Region earlier on.

Those who succeed are called kings, and those who fail are called bandits. In this cruel world, those who lost had to suffer the punishments. The wealthy families of the palace tried to have a backup plan by sending the relatives and their documents out of the city. If they really met Lu Shu, they still had a chance to make a comeback.

These relatives brought a huge amount of practitioner resources and valuables in their invisible storage equipment. This was how they could make a comeback.

However, how could Lu Shu ensure that they had a retreat path. Didn’t Lu Shu put everything in to go to the Luniverse to end the conflict. Why should an outsider have a retreat path?

However, despite that, he had never thought of killing those people. When Li Liang heard about Lu Shu’s decision, he was sighing at the side but did not make any comment. That was because the lives of those people would not affect the outcome.

Suddenly, someone recognized the prisoner that was running behind the horses. “They are the outstanding youths of the Li family. Three of them are within the group. One of them caused a 15-mile Heavenly Vision when he rose to Rank One!”

“There are also those from the Song family, Fang family and Liu family!” someone exclaimed, “Oh my goodness, someone guessed that the wealthy families had secretly sent them out. However, they did not expect that the Wei Wu Army had caught all of them!”

“This will end the lifeline of the wealthy families!”

“A 15-mile Heavenly Vision, if he doesn’t die, he has the potential to rise to a master realm!”

When Zhang Weiyu, who was sitting on the horse, heard that, he sneered, “Li Heitan’s Heavenly Vision was 16 miles. These so-called ” prodigy of the palace” can’t even match up to Li Heitan…”

“Old Zhang, how many miles was your Heavenly Vision?” someone asked out of curiosity.

Zhang Weiyu could not answer. “The Great Lord is still waiting for us! Let’s not talk about this!”

“Hahaha, I remember very clearly that your Heavenly Vision was only 15 miles. You are not as good as Li Heitan?” someone laughed loudly in the communication channel.

“Scram scram scram,” said Zhang Weiyu unhappily.

However, although Li Heitan looked honest, he was far more gifted than most people. He lived miserably in the Azure Dragon Village in the past simply because he did not have powers and resources.

Sometimes, after the social class divide, it was extremely difficult for the people in the lower class to move up the ranks. That was because the higher class had the resources all to themselves and it was impossible to move up the ranks!

The master of the wealthy families in the Peach Blossom Association also heard the sound of the horses. The only people who would dare to ride the horses at this time would be Lu Shu’s men.

Initially, everyone panicked when Lu Shu said that his men were not all present as they were guilty!

Yet now, the thing they were most worried about seemed to have happened. Zhang Weiyu and the rest went into the Peach Blossom Association while riding their horses. The master of the wealthy family became anxious when he saw them. There was no doubt that all the family members they had sent away were there!

Ever since Lu Shu left the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, Zhang Weiyu and the rest rode on the Blazing Cloud Foals and rushed all over the Luniverse in order to capture all the family members of the wealthy families who had sneakily escaped.

Trying to escape from Lu Shu, no way!

Lu Shu wanted to cut away all their backup plans and make the wealthy families of the palace learn a simple lesson: Do not participate in this battle because they cannot afford it!

After they got off the horses, Zhang Weiyu and the rest pushed the so-called prodigies of the wealthy families to Lu Shu. Lu Shu was sitting on a chair that Li Heitan had brought over and said, “Trying to send them away sneakily? Do you think you can make a comeback after offending us? Why should you take everything good? In the world, every spot is the sovereign’s ground. Where do you think you can escape to?”

At this moment, Lu Shu was not holding anything back. He had to use the identity of a king as he wanted to face the enemies of the world with this identity!

The master of the Song family fell to his knees and pleaded, “Spare me, Great Lord!”

As they had lost their backup, if they did not give in, their entire family would probably be destroyed! They did not know why Lu Shu became the lord, and neither did they know what strange things happened, but it was a fact that Lu Shu was in front of them!

After the master of the Song family said that, the other masters of the wealthy families had to follow suit. The King’s Studies scholars saw all the masters kneel in front of Lu Shu and shouted in unison, “Spare me, Great Lord!”

Lu Shu said calmly, “Do you know what the consequences would be after today?”

The master of the Song family said sincerely, “If we disobey you, we will definitely be killed by the Wei Wu Army.”

In the past, the villagers saw the wealthy families’ aggressiveness. However, the so-called “cruel beast” could only bow down to Lu Shu now. Lu Shu suddenly understood that authority was the thing that all men needed. However, this was not what he wanted.

What others wanted was what could kill him.

After thinking about it, Lu Shu said, “I have to correct something. They are no longer the Wei Wu Army, they are the Imperial Dragon Soldiers.”
