Chapter 1253: 1253

At this moment, the aristocrats of the palace had to quickly get ready for the reshuffling of positions . Although nobody would like to believe that a Lord of Heaven would fall, if that day arrived, everyone could only face the choices .

Nobody had challenged a Lord of Heaven like that before in the Luniverse . Therefore, the wealthy families of the palace did not know what would happen if the Lord of Heaven died . Would Lu Shu take over as the next West Lord of Heaven?

“Is there nobody left in the palace of the King of Gods?” asked one of the masters who sat in the courtyard, “Why was nobody doing anything to stop the chaotic situation of the Luniverse?”

Ever since Duanmu Huangqi challenged the Sword Hut, ever since the Wei Wu Army rode their horses in the palace, this suspicion lingered in everyone’s minds . Nobody knew what exactly happened to the palace of the King of Gods and nobody dared to enter to take a look .

However, if the new King of Gods was really still in the palace of the King of Gods, why did he not come out to do something?

The situation in the Luniverse suddenly became uncertain . Be it the aristocrats or the wealthy families, everyone was facing danger .

Sun Zhongyang, the prince of the palace who had once worked with Lu Shu, waited at the backyard of the Sun family . The other families gathered in the main hall to discuss matters and only Sun Zhongyang’s generation remained quiet . That was because Sun Xunwen was still in his closed doors cultivation .

Previously when Lu Shu killed his way along the limestone road, Sun Xunwen swore that he would not open his doors until he reached the Master Realm . Many people mocked him for restricting himself to the area and locking himself up . After all, it was not easy to make a breakthrough to the Master Realm .

Since the last thousands of years, there had never been masters amongst the wealthy families in the palace . People had hoped to achieve that in the past but eventually gave up .

The master with the greatest possibility of advancing to the master realm said that the wealthy families should just stay put and serve the old King of Gods . If they were not masters, they might be able to live a long life . If they became masters, people might become wary of them . How could they allow the prowess of the old King of Gods to be admired by others?

This sentence gradually became the standards of the wealthy families . They gradually gave up on the thought of advancing to the Master Realm and was satisfied with being Rank One .

However, Sun Xunwen did not agree with this idea . When he was younger, he laughed at the ancestors for being dumb . Would the old King of Gods, as a deity, care if one was a master or a Rank One? All of these were nothing to him .

According to Sun Xunwen, the words that the ancestors had said were unnecessary worries . The masters could not even take any of the attacks by the old King of Gods, why would the old King of Gods be wary of them?

Therefore, when Sun Xunwen was young, he had the aspiration to achieve the master realm . He had never slacked off and had the purest mind amongst the wealthy families of the palace .

This time when Lu Shu brought the Imperial Dragon Soldiers back, the wealthy families of the palace had yet to know what had happened to the “Wei Wu Army” . When the Sun family were discussing things, the other relatives felt that it would be better if Sun Xunwen remained behind his closed doors . This would eliminate the most powerful descendent in the battle for the position of the master of the family .

As everyone knew that the old master in the Sun family liked Sun Xunwen the most . That was because he had once said that Sun Xunwen could bring a new beginning for the Sun family .

Now that the old master was about to die, this was something that could happen anytime . Of course, the other branches of the family would not want to hand Sun Xunwen over .

In the main living room, the old manager asked, “Should we call prince Sun Zhongyang over, it would be for the best if the second family could participate in the discussion . ”

The old manager had followed the current master for hundreds of years and was also a Rank One expert . Therefore, when they spoke in the family, their voices could be heard .

The other families said after being stunned, “How dare you, old brat, talk about the family matters of the Sun family?”

The old master decided to keep quiet . He did not speak much . He knew that it was only a matter of days before it happened and he could not wait for Sun Xunwen to open his doors .

This was what happened in the wealthy families . At this moment, even the master could not do anything he wanted as he needed to take all factors into consideration . How would he be able to train with all the restrictions troubling him?

“I am sure you all know why I called for everyone,” said the master fraily as he sat on the main seat, “The Sun family did not do anything on the day when the Wei Wu Army rode the horses into the palace because we did not know the young man had the ability that made him on par with the Lord of Heaven . Now, I would like to ask for your opinions, should we befriend him or remain like this?”

“Father, we cannot befriend him,” someone said, “The most annoying thing for the palace of the King of Gods is to have someone making a mess . Now, even though nobody dares to take care of the Wei Wu Army, someone would eventually take care of them . The other Lords of Heaven would definitely do something . Even if they don’t do anything now, in the future, someone would challenge them and I believe that they won’t allow the Wei Wu Army to start this . ”

“We are able to maintain our status till date because we don’t stir troubles . Father, please don’t act foolishly,” someone else said desperately .

However, at this moment, everyone looked into the sky . That was because they looked through the door of the main hall and suddenly saw that the sky had turned gold!

“This…” Some people were confused . The gold light was both foreign and familiar . However, the light was too special and that evoked many people’s memories . “This is the order given by the palace of the King of Gods!”

Everyone ran out . Almost everyone in the palace saw this strange phenomenon at the same time and they looked into the sky!

They saw a roll glowing with golden light unroll gradually and the words were printed in the sky . It was as though someone wrote the words in the sky . “Wei Wu Army have wreaked havoc, the soldiers are to attack the following day . ”

Everyone looked at each other in shock . After more than ten years, the palace of the King of Gods made an imperial edict again for the wealthy families of the palace to participate in this battle!

It had been years since they saw the imperial edict . Why did it suddenly appear today?

Just as everyone had guessed that there was nobody left in the palace of the King of Gods, an imperial edict suddenly came and wanted them to kill the Wei Wu Army!

The wealthy families of the palace did not know what to do and did not understand what had happened .

However, at this moment, the house that Sun Xunwen had locked himself in suddenly opened . It was extremely peaceful inside .

Sun Zhongyang stood up and said in surprise, “Father?”

Sun Xunwen stepped into the void after taking a glance at him . The thunder clouds above his head that had just gathered followed him to a faraway place . Sun Xunwen chose to stay in a mountain that was miles away from the palace . The lightning was almost as bright as the imperial edict .

The Sun family and the wealthy families of the palace were all shocked . Sun Xunwen had really become the first master of the wealthy families of the palace!

Although the aura of the lightning was not strong, it was enough to make one feel fearful . However, before they could react, the lightning had already dispersed . Sun Xunwen stepped back into the main hall of the Sun family and said as he saw the old master, “Father, please pass down the position of the master of the family . ”
