Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Why did Duanmu Huangqi come? Many people wanted to know the answer to this question.

Apart from those in the Luniverse, others had heard of Lu Shu’s name before. The four Lords of Heaven rarely came to the palace. It felt as though everyone had cut their connections with the palace after the new Lord of Heaven assumed his position. Everyone was satisfied with their position as the commander.

However, what special motive did Duanmu Huangqi have when he came to the palace to attend the Sword Hut ceremony?

Lu Shu asked curiously, “How long has it been since the last visit by Duanmu Huangqi?”

Sun Zhongyang thought about it for a long while. “I think over 100 years. I am not sure about the exact length of time. I wasn’t even born back then... Why do I feel like you are very nervous?”

“Rubbish.” Why was Lu Shu nervous? Recently, someone said that he was eliminated. Didn’t he also eliminate the illegitimate child of Duanmu Huangqi? His name was Duanmu Yunge?!

That was awkward. When everyone was speculating if Duanmu Huangqi had an ulterior motive, Lu Shu was already thinking if that was the so-called revenge by one’s parents...

Alright, even if Duanmu Huangqi was not as petty as what Lu Shu had imagined, this scenario was still a possibility.

It was rare for highly-ranked practitioners to have descendants. Sun Zhongyang’s father, Sun Xunwen, only had one precious son, Duanmu Huangqi did not have many descendants too.

Then, a talented son like Duanmu Yunge appeared. Duanmu Huangqi did not worry about anything else and went to the Sword Hut directly. He went over personally to support his own son just like how an old father smiled wholeheartedly when he saw his son playing a match in the arena.

However, after he arrived in the palace, he realized to his horror, eh? Where was his son?

Given this situation, anyone would go crazy...

Lu Shu wanted to return to ask, since he was regarded as a disciple of the Sword Hut, could he move into the Sword Hut?

The reason was simply because the Sword Hut was safer...

Lu Shu suddenly said to Sun Zhongyang, “Erm... I have something to attend to, I will take my leave first. Remember our agreement, I will come back in two months to take the magical armor!”

After his sentence, Lu Shu turned and left. Although he did not kill Duanmu Yunge and it was a normal move taken during the Sword Hut selection, the Lord of Heaven would not care about what reason he had if he wanted to fight for his son’s justice?

Just as Lu Shu stepped out the door, he was stunned. He looked calmly at the troop and horses on the opposite side of the street. The horses made “dong dong” sounds as they stepped on the limestone bricks on the palace. For every step the horses took, flames would emit from the limestone bricks.

Lu Shu realized, to his horror, even the two horses that were pulling the huge carriage had the energy equivalent to a Rank One.

The passers-by on the street avoided the troop and were speechless. Meanwhile, Lu Shu realized that the other party was targeting him.

When the Lord of Heaven travelled, he would deploy many soldiers and horses. Everyone in the palace had heard about that carriage before, as the horses were able to fly!

Meanwhile, the person sitting in the carriage was none other than Duanmu Huangqi.

Perhaps, Lu Shu did not know what Duanmu Huangqi’s personality was like. However, the people in the Luniverse knew it and were ready to witness Lu Shu’s downfall when Lu Shu eliminated Duanmu Yunge.

There was a saying that went, in the basement of Duanmu Huangqi’s palace there were 18 levels and every level was a different type of cruel punishment.

This was just a saying. However, one could infer the image that Duanmu Huangqi portrayed in everyone’s hearts.

Lu Shu did not escape. Instead, he calmed down and looked expressionless. When the Lord of Heaven had fixed his target on you, there is no way out and you have no choice but to face it.

The carriage stopped in front of Lu Shu. The soldiers and horses stood solemnly behind the carriage. historical

Without the curtains on the carriage being lifted, a voice could be heard, “You are Lu Shu?”

Lu Shu laughed coldly in his heart, so what if you are the Lord of Heaven?

Therefore, Lu Shu replied calmly, “No, I guess you got the wrong person.”

“From Duanmu Huangqi’s distress, +19!”

Duanmu Huangqi did not expect Lu Shu to reply in that way. For a second... He did not know what to do...

At the next moment, Duanmu Huangqi suddenly laughed. His laughter was not unpleasant. In fact, it gave off a powerful vibe that one was unable to forget. However, his voice sounded like a knife that made slits on one’s skin. “Whatever, I will need to discuss with you about two things today.”

At this moment, the Lord of Heaven who was standing at the back pulled a random person who was severely injured over. Lu Shu was stunned for a while as he could not make out who the other person was.

Duanmu Huangqi laughed. “His name is Li Liang. Both of you must have met before. Apparently, he could not do anything to you in the Wei Bei Pass, how useless. Useless people should not be tasked to do anything. However, he has known you for a long time, so I brought him over to the palace for you to take a look.”

Lu Shu took a deep breath. He did not realize that the person in front of him was Li Liang whom he had met before. Li Liang was a Rank One expert but was tortured to this manner. Moreover, he was brought over to the palace in such a humiliating way.

Lu Shu initially thought that Li Liang was a good person. However, when he appeared in front of him in such a bloody manner, Lu Shu began to doubt himself.

He heard Duanmu Huangqi say, “This is the first thing I wanted to tell you, thank you for testing this person out. Everyone claims that he is a good commander but it seems otherwise.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Shu felt that Duanmu Huangqi was a strange person. He sounded like he was thanking him but Lu Shu knew that he was going to be in trouble too.

“Now, let’s move on to the second thing,” said Duanmu Huangqi.

Then, another person who was severely injured was dragged over and laid beside Li Liang.

“This person is Duanmu Yunge and I heard that he lost to you too.” Duanmu Huangqi’s voice was emotionless. “I heard that he was very happy when he was about to enter the Sword Hut. In the end, he is just another person that brags too much.”

Since the start, Duanmu Huangqi had never mentioned that Duanmu Yunge was his son. Lu Shu’s heart sank again. The saying went ‘an evil tiger does not eat its son’, yet, Duanmu Huangqi tortured his son without any emotions.

Lu Shu recalled how proud Duanmu Yunge was when Duanmu Huangqi was in the other places of the palace. Now, he was almost dead. Moreover, both Li Liang and Duanmu Yunge’s foundations were broken and their status as Rank One’s had vanished.

Duanmu Huangqi laughed in the carriage. “I have to thank you for helping me see through two individuals. However, how should I thank you?”

At this moment, the color of the sky changed suddenly. The blue sky suddenly darkened and the clouds formed gigantic swirls in the sky. Following that, massive pressure fell from the sky and pressed onto Lu Shu!

A Master’s anger could cause the sky and earth to change color. Lu Shu suddenly realized that this was the real technique used by Masters.
