At this moment, he felt a bit of regret.
Regret for not following Shui Xuanzhi's arrangement.
If he had listened to Shui Xuanzhi, he wouldn't have needed to duel Chen Shi, and wouldn't have faced this killing god!
"Stop!" Voices rose simultaneously.
The young master's heart reignited with hope.
The civil and military officials of the Western Capital could not abandon the young master, because he was chosen as the best True King candidate from the Zhu family's lineage!
They had chosen others before, either defiant and disobedient to the Thirteen Families, acting recklessly, or too ambitious and uncontrollable, or like Xiao Wangsun, uninterested in the True King's seat and unwilling to be controlled by the Thirteen Families.
Therefore, the Thirteen Families absolutely could not abandon the young master, couldn't allow Chen Shi to kill him!
