Just as Lu Shu was about to lead the Wei Wu Army to follow the Black Feather Army, there was a turn of events . Zhang Weiyu bid farewell to Lu Shu .
Lu Shu was stunned . “Why are you leaving all of a sudden?”
“We are not leaving . ” Zhang Weiyu shook his head . “We are just returning to the King Lu Mountain to wait for you . ”
At this moment, Lu Shu saw the tired expression on the faces of Zhang Weiyu and the rest . It suddenly struck him that Zhang Weiyu and the rest were ordinary humans and they could not stand the torment from the long journey!
Although Lu Shu had snatched powerful horses for Zhang Weiyu and the rest and settled them down before any battles so they would not be exhausted, for Zhang Weiyu and the rest, it was extremely exhausting to make the long journeys .
Therefore, Zhang Weiyu and the rest had no choice but to leave, so that they would not drag the rest of the army down .
Lu Shu thought about it and said, “Should I find a carriage for you guys? It would be less tiring that way and you guys won’t need to go through the bumpy road on horseback . ”
However, Zhang Weiyu shook his head and gave off a hint of arrogance . “We are not so weak that we have to be carried around . That will not happen unless we are severely injured . You do not need to bother about us, we will head back to the King Lu Mountain by ourselves . If you ever return, we will meet at the King Lu Mountain… If you don’t return after heading to the west region, we will return to town after the battle ends . ”

Lu Shu kept silent for a while . He knew that Zhang Weiyu and the rest had their own style and charisma . Initially, Lu Shu wanted to make use of Zhang Weiyu and the rest to help him with the instruction of battle tactics and training the soldiers .
Nevertheless, they began to develop a relationship after the interactions . Lu Shu was not a cold-blooded creature .
At this moment, Zhang Weiyu smiled . “All good things must come to an end . We have done enough for the Wei Wu Army . As long as they followed our instructions, I believe that they will undergo another round of breakthrough within six months’ time!”
Lu Shu fell silent . He knew that Zhang Weiyu and the rest were fixed on leaving . Actually, he did not understand them . They stayed in the town for a ridiculous reason . As they were unable to fight, they wanted to make use of the Wei Wu Army to reminisce about the times when they were active .
This group of individuals had an ideal and emotion which Lu Shu could not understand . Lu Shu felt that he had the same ideals when he became the Ninth Heavenly King,
Lu Shu asked Zhang Weiyu the question for the third time, “Is it worth it?”
However, before Zhang Weiyu could reply, Lu Shu continued, “For a promise of little significance? For a recompensation due to guilt? Will you guys be happy in town? Are you guys willing to be an insignificant pawn and sacrifice the meaning of your life on someone else’s chessboard? What if you can’t wait for that day to arrive?”
Zhang Weiyu suddenly laughed after a long pause . “Everyone is a pawn in this world!”
Lu Shu shook his head . “If I am regarded as a chess piece, I will definitely kill the chess player . In the future, perhaps you will regret it when you recall about how you have wasted your life . ”

At this moment, Zhang Weiyu and Dong Ye laughed as they exchanged gazes . They headed towards the King Lu Mountain on the backs of their strong black horses . Zhang Weiyu smiled and said, “Life is like a game of chess, once you make your move, you cannot regret it . ”
A line of 56 individuals charged furiously on their horses . Zhang Weiyu suddenly felt that he returned to the past when they were formidable too .
He suddenly pulled the reins and turned to look at the direction where the Wei Wu Army headed to . “The Wei Wu Army is considered to be successful . If they are able to rise to Rank Two in six months’ time, they could go anywhere in the world . ”
“However, it would take too long for them to rise to Rank One,” sighed Dong Ye, “They lack the ‘heritage’ of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers . ”
The ‘heritage’ that Dong Ye was referring to was the number of Rank One experts .
It was easy to rise to Rank Two but difficult to rise to Rank One . In order to rise to Rank One from Rank Two, one needed more than resources and skills . Aptitude and self-realization was also required . The Imperial Dragon Soldiers was able to be undefeatable as there were no undefeatable formations by the 300 Imperial Palace Soldiers . The sharpest long spear was in the hand of the King of Gods .
“What a pity,” someone laughed suddenly, “I did not expect to bid farewell so soon . I actually like the foolish guy . The way they fought reminded me of us in the past . ”
“I can’t bear to leave too,” another person continued .
Zhang Weiyu frowned, he felt the same too . However, they could not continue to fight alongside the Wei Wu Army .

At this moment, they suddenly heard rough footsteps from the direction where the Wei Wu Army headed to . The 56 of them, including Zhang Weiyu, stood on the spot and looked at each other .
Suddenly, Li Heitan’s voice was heard from afar, “Zhang Weiyu, wait for us, we will return to the King Lu Mountain together!”
Zhang Weiyu looked at Lu Shu in confusion . “Do you know what are the consequences of returning to the King Lu Mountain together with us?”
Lu Shu said, “Surrounded by the army of the aristocrats? We can’t do anything if the Black Feather Army entered the mountain anyway . ”
Zhang Weiyu suddenly said after a long pause . “Then, do you know what are the consequences if some people realized that you are following us? It can be easily dealt with if we are alone in the Wei Wu Army . If someone realizes that the 56 of us are together…”
To be honest, Lu Shu did not want to get involved with Zhang Weiyu and the rest initially . However, if they returned to King Lu Mountain alone, what should they do if the army of the aristocrats really went over?
The most important issue was not that . Lu Shu looked at Zhang Weiyu calmly and said, “Did you guys bring food?”
Zhang Weiyu was speechless .
“We have finished transporting all the food supplies from the King Lu Mountain . If you guys don’t bring food, are you planning to eat grass?” asked Lu Shu .
“From Zhang Weiyu’s distress, +666!”
Lu Shu smiled joyfully . “If we get discovered we can escape together . It’s not like we haven’t done that before, rest assured!” As Lu Shu said that, he turned around and shouted at the Wei Wu Army behind him, “Let’s go home!”
Li Liang, the commander of the Black Feather Army, had made use of the magical instrument to reconnect himself with his schoolmate in the palace . He wanted to earn some retirement funds with the Wei Wu Army but the Wei Wu Army did not appear in the end .
Zhao Shuai, the chief officer of the Song gambling den wanted to start another bet with Lu Shu but realized that the Wei Wu Army suddenly returned to the King Lu Mountain and seemed to have turned into commoners overnight…
The battle ended without any signs . The celebration in the palace ended with the profits made by the gambling dens . Lu Shu also got his manor in the palace .
