The Blood Devil army retreated when the sun rose. Perhaps that was their plan long ago as that was a probing attack.

When the Imperial Dragon Soldiers became familiar with the Blood Devil army, the commander behind made use of the Blood Devils’ lives to test the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. At this moment, nobody had played their trump card yet.

The Blood Devils gathered on the faraway mountain. When the first beam of sunlight shone on the palace, all the Imperial Dragon Soldiers took a deep breath.

The Blood Devil army had stained the mountain with blood. Innumerous bodies of the Blood Devils were on the ground. The Imperial Dragon Soldiers did not know how many Blood Devils they had killed. Moreover, it seemed as though they could never finish killing the Blood Devils.

Many straws may bind an elephant, if that continued, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers would be tired to death.

The water was about to be drained but new bloody water flowed in. When the ground began to dry, the entire palace was painted dark purple. It was extremely dirty and stinky.

However, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers were used to this smell. They were no longer sensitive to the stench of blood.

Lu Shu smiled. “Finally, it feels like a graveyard.”

Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi looked at Lu Shu. It was not a coincidence when they made the iron-clad puppets attack at the break of dawn. They wanted to attack when they discovered the commander of the Blood Devil army and succeeded.

That was the reason why they appeared from behind. The Blood Devil army began to retreat because their commander was killed.

“The later batches of the army will definitely reach here very soon,” said Tiger Zhi, “There’s no significance if only the commander is killed.”

Lu Shu nodded. “However, it is already very good if everyone has the chance to rest.”

At this moment, all the Imperial Dragon Soldiers slept on the ground while hugging onto their tridents after eating. There were houses prepared in the city but everyone knew that once the Blood Devil army attacked, they could reach the inner city in five minutes of flight.

If they returned to their accommodation and slept, it would be a waste of time.

Lu Shu did not reminisce with Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi because they did not have the time to do so. He looked at Li Liang. “How are the other parties?”

“The Sword Hut blocked the army of the East Region. They were also testing them but the Sword Hut seems to be more relaxed,” said Li Liang, “The troops of the South Region led by Wen Zaifou has already defeated the army of the West Region. The only suspicious thing is that Sun Xunwen did not seem to appear in the earlier battle. Therefore, with three masters on Wen Zaifou’s side, the army of the West Region cannot take it.”

“Sun Xunwen disappeared?” asked Lu Shu.

“Yes, Wen Zaifou and the rest were initially keeping their guard up against Sun Xunwen. However, he disappeared,” said Li Liang, “A group of spies that Yi Qian planted in the troops of the West Region has been asked to come back and only a few are left. The only thing we know is that Sun Xunwen has not appeared. Wen Zaifou is currently chasing after the troops of the West Region and had entered the mountains nearby. He wants to kill all of them.”

Lu Shu was focused on the Blood Devils yesterday and hence had no time to care about what exactly happened on Wen Zaifou’s side. He did not expect Wen Zaifou to defeat the troops of the West Region in one night.

Indeed, the soldiers remaining in the West Region were not extremely powerful. Moreover, their masters mysteriously disappeared.

Where did Sun Xunwen go, could it be that the evil intentions of God Lu did not have high hopes in the troops of the West Region and therefore asked Sun Xunwen to leave earlier? That was highly possible.

“The Imperial Dragon Soldiers lost 12 men,” sighed Li Liang, “They killed more than 10 Blood Devils before they died, they died a worthy death.”

Lu Shu was emotionless. He could not save every single Imperial Dragon Soldier. Deaths were inevitable in a battle, he understood this since the start. Fortunately, only 12 of them died on the first night. That showed how powerful the Imperial Dragon Soldiers were.

“There’s no such thing as dying a worthy death.” Lu Shu shook his head. “One could only die a worthy death when one dies of old age after enjoying wealth for one’s entire life. I finally understand why Zhang Weiyu did not want to be a commander.”

In the past, none of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers died. Therefore, everyone thought that the Imperial Dragon Soldiers would not die. However, this was not the case.

Even the King of Gods could die.

Chen Zuan, who was sleeping at the side, suddenly opened his eyes. “Wealth? What wealth?”

Lu Shu said in annoyance, “Continue sleeping.”

“Oh…”

The Imperial Dragon Soldiers who were lying on the walls of the city laughed out loud, “Chen Zuan, you can’t control yourself when you hear the word ‘wealth’, right?”

“Hey.” Chen Zuan was unhappy. “You can ask Brother Shu to know what a frugal life I lived in the past… Now, I am living for my belief. I am no longer a person who has such lowly interests, okay?”

In fact, nobody slept. When they closed their eyes, they saw the gruesome Blood Devils. They were clutching the cold tridents in their hands and heard the sounds of the battle all around them as well as the laughter from buddies who sacrificed themselves.”

Lu Shu looked at Lu Xiaoyu. “Clear the battleground. If we don’t clear the bodies of the Blood Devils, we probably won’t need to defend. They can run up to the fortress by stepping on these bodies.”

“Alright, you can count on me,” said Lu Xiaoyu.

After saying that, the ground outside the inner city turned into sand and covered the bodies of the Blood Devils on the ground.

Nobody knew how many Blood Devils were buried under the inner city. The palace had become a city of death. Lu Shu thought that none of the kings in the Luniverse would dare to make the palace the capital in the future.

“However, don’t be afraid that they can head to the top of the city wall directly.” Lu Xiaoyu took a glance at Lu Shu. “If we are forced to, I can raise the ground of the inner city.”

“Go and rest, all of you, another evil battle is about to happen.” Lu Shu saw the Blood Devil army becoming orderly again. Their reinforcements and the new leader must have arrived.

“We have to be careful tonight,” said Lu Shu, “I suspect that the master of the Blood Devils of the North Region has already reached the battleground. They are waiting to show their powers.”

“He is so impatient?” Li Liang asked. To him, the best choice for the Blood Devil army would be to surround the palace. As there were a lot of the Blood Devils, the other party would not mind sacrificing them. Therefore, they were not eager to start the final war.

“If Qing Kong was not worried, he wouldn’t have had to reveal himself right now. After another ten or twenty years, he would have gained control of the entire world.” Lu Shu smiled. “He has his reasons to be worried.”

Now, Lu Shu took a glance at the Celestial map. Despite having exchanged a large number of refresher fruits, his distress points was almost sufficient to light up the sixth level of nebula.

Tonight, even if they did not go and look for LI Shu, Lu Shu would definitely head out for a chat with them!
