Chapter 407. To Learn How to Fight Ten Thousand Men (1)
Zhou Xuchuan hadn’t traveled south without a plan. In fact, he had set up a contingency in advance. That plan was the Sword Demon, Wu Qu, the unknown absolute master.
Since Wu Qu was in Shandong to protect his daughter Wu Zhenhua, Zhuge Shengji, and Li Yicai, and to serve as muscle if needed, he was relatively close to the northern battlefront.
