Chapter 429: The Nemesis of the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique, Each With Their Own Thoughts (1)
In a stone house in the Huaxia Pavilion's Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch…
Yin Wuyou hugged her knees and sat by the bed, her eyes twinkling.
She looked at Zhou Shu lying on the bed, her face full of smiles.
She didn't care if the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space was dangerous. As long as she could stay by Zhou Shu's side, she didn't care how dangerous it was.
After an unknown period of time, the faint white light on Zhou Shu's body suddenly shattered like glass.
Then Zhou Shu opened his eyes.
The next moment, Yin Wuyou was pressed down by a pair of big hands, and her dress turned into butterflies flying in the air and dancing in the room.
The sound that made one's bones ache echoed throughout the room.
Again and again, Yin Wuyou didn't know how many times she flew into the clouds.
It was as if Zhou Shu would never have enough, and he kept asking for more.
Fortunately, she was already a first-rank martial artist. Otherwise, ordinary women would definitely not be able to withstand it.
...
Even so, Yin Wuyou felt like her entire body was about to collapse.
She hugged Zhou Shu's neck tightly and tried her best to circulate the God of War Catalog to keep up with him.
The Yin and Yang Qi produced by the God of War Catalog circulated between the two of them, constantly nourishing their bodies.
Be it Yin Wuyou or Zhou Shu, the spiritual essence in their bodies was growing little by little.
It was especially true for Yin Wuyou, who gained even more.
Not only could she feel her spiritual essence growing at a visible speed, but she could also feel her body becoming stronger, and even her skin was more delicate than before.
She almost lost herself in the heady mix of pleasure and growing strength.
She felt that she would never be able to leave Zhou Shu again.
With a moan, Yin Wuyou flew into the clouds again.
Zhou Shu finally stopped. He lay on Yin Wuyou's body and felt her delicate body. His eyes had already regained clarity.
No wonder he always heard that those killers would go to brothels to relax after killing.
Doing the deed did make one feel refreshed and relieved.
Zhou Shu sighed with emotion. In the past, after using the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique, it would take him a long time to recover.
This time, he entered the dream for a longer time. Logically speaking, he should have sunk deeper into the dream.
Unexpectedly, after a series of 'battles', he felt that he had completely recovered. The aftereffects of entering the dream had completely disappeared.
His hands brushed across Yin Wuyou's jade-like skin, and he was a little tempted.
Yin Wuyou hesitated for a moment and whispered, "We still have other things to do."
Her face flushed. Although she couldn't bear to reject Zhou, this was still the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield.
They had been in their rooms for days…
"I'll just touch," Zhou Shu said.
His hands swam between the mountains, but images flashed through his mind.
Zhou Shu's Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique had already reached the lesser mastery stage. The Shadow Sword had also made brilliant achievements in Yin Wuyou's hands.
The Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique at lesser mastery allowed him to go back to 50 years ago!
Zhou Shu had not lived to fifty years in both his lifetimes.
In the end, in his dream, he transformed into a great demon and cultivated for 50 years!
If not for Yin Wuyou, Zhou Shu even doubted if he could wake up from the dream.
If he couldn't wake up, Zhou Shu might become the Great Demon Yao Lian.
He didn't know if he was Zhuang Zhou who had dreamed he was a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming that he was Zhuang Zhou.
Zhuang Zhou's Butterfly Dream Technique was abnormally magical and dangerous at the same time.
Thank you, Yin Wuyou!
Zhou Shu climbed to the peaks with both hands, feeling extremely real.
In his mind, the Five Mountains' True Form suppressed his consciousness. He eliminated all the useless scenes from his mind.
This was also something he had accidentally comprehended when he was circulating the God of War Catalog with Yin Wuyou.
There was too much useless information after spending fifty years in the dream.
Zhou Shu didn't even want to think about the scenes of Yao Lian drinking and eating.
This was also because Zhou Shu's Visualization of the Five Mountains' True Form and the God of War Catalog had both reached a certain level. Under the double foundation, he could do this. Without either, he wouldn't be able to do this.
Fifty years was a long time, but to a Great Demon like Yao Lian, fifty years was actually just a small part of his life.
Compared to humans, demonic beasts had very long lifespans.
A thousand-year-old turtle was the most suitable description for a demonic beast.
To human martial artists, even first-rank martial artists only had a lifespan of three to five hundred years. As for first-rank demonic beasts, it was easy for them to live a thousand years.
… Not to mention a Great Demon like Yao Lian.
It would probably not be a problem for a Great Demon like him to live for three to five thousand years.
Fifty years ago, Yao Lian was already a Great Demon!
The lives of demonic beasts were much more boring than Zhou Shu had imagined.
In the past fifty years, Yao Lian had done nothing but fight, drink, or patrol his territory.
The Demon Realm, relative to the Ten Nations, was a barbaric and uncivilized place. Everything exuded a primitive aura.
Zhou Shu looked down on Yao Lian for his debauchery.
Although the Demon Realm is primitive, they are indeed powerful.
Apart from what made him speechless, Zhou Shu really realized this.
Chapter 430: The Nemesis of the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique, Each With Their Own Thoughts (2)
Although Yao Lian had died in his hands, it was undeniable that Yao Lian was very strong. In the Ten Nations, other than him, no one was a match for Yao Lian.
But in the Demon Realm, Yao Lian was far from being considered a powerhouse.
In the fifty years that Zhou Shu had been in the dream, he had been defeated dozens of times.
Among the Great Demons of the Demon Realm, he could only be considered ordinary.
If the barrier between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent really shattered, the Ten Nations would definitely not be able to withstand the invasion of the Demon Realm.
The difference in strength between the two sides was too great.
Before Yao Lian came to the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, he already knew that Emperor Wei Wu had colluded with the Demon Realm. The reason he came to this space was that he had lost a fight, so he was sent here.
The Demon Realm seemed to have split into two groups. One group used the ladder set up by Emperor Wei Wu to invade the Ten Nations directly.
The other came to the battlefield of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament to kill all the Ten Nations' troops.
The latter was not a good job, so it fell to Yao Lian.
From this, it could be seen that Yao Lian's status in the Demon Realm was indeed not high.
...
He didn't get a chance to directly invade the Ten Nations Continent, which would allow one to gain more.
The Demon Realm army split into two groups. One group came to the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, and the other gathered near the gap opened by Emperor Wei Wu.
Zhou Shu recalled the information he had obtained in his dream. If they were lucky, they would have to face the million-strong demon beast army after entering the Demon Realm.
If the passage he had opened was far enough from the passage opened by Emperor Wei Wu, they still had a chance to escape before the Demon Realm army came to stop them.
In any case, the Demon Realm was vast. As long as they could survive the first wave, they would be able to enter the Demon Realm. At that time, they would have a lot of room to maneuver.
Yao Lian has a secret lair in the Demon Realm. It's one of his three dens, and he's the only one who knows about it,?Zhou Shu pondered.?If we can escape to that place, the Ten Nations Alliance will have some breathing room.
Yao Lian had also been a thoughtful person. He had been worried that he would encounter some danger one day, so he had specially prepared an escape route.
The secret lairs that only he knew stored the resources he needed to make a comeback.
In the Demon Realm, where the strong preyed on the weak, it was not surprising that Yao Lian would make such preparations.
He probably didn't expect that he would die on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield.
The gap opened by Emperor Wei Wu has been occupied by the Demon Realm army. It's impossible to return to the Ten Nations from there.
There were two things that made it most difficult to return to the Ten Nations Continent through the Demon Realm.
The first was whether they could survive the first wave of the Demon Realm army when they first entered the Demon Realm.
The second was how to return to the Ten Nations.
If they could survive the first wave of attacks and successfully reach the secret lair left by Yao Lian, then the most difficult thing was how to return to the Ten Nations Continent.
After all, Yao Lian's secret lair could only give them a chance to catch their breath. It was impossible for them to stay for long. The Demon Realm army wouldn't give them much time.
This was the biggest challenge they had to face!
There was indeed a problem with the barrier between the two worlds. But even if there was a spatial rift, it was definitely unstable and couldn't allow the army to pass through normally.
I have Great Wei's imperial cauldron. If I use it to open another gap…
Zhou Shu shook his head. Not to mention whether this could be done, even if it could, doing so would cause endless trouble.
The barrier between the two worlds was already cracked and fragile. If he touched it again, it was very likely to cause a large-scale collapse of the barrier.
If that happened, there would be serious trouble.
Besieging Wei to save Zhao, I didn't expect my passing remark to come true.
Zhou Shu smiled bitterly in his heart. After he thought about it, the only way back to the Ten Nations was the passage opened by Emperor Wei Wu.
If they wanted to get there, they had to either face the Demon Realm army directly or find a way to lure them away.
Even if Zhou Shu was confident enough, he didn't think that less than 100,000 people could do it.
If he lured the Demon Realm army away, he could only think of a way to attack the enemy and save them.
What sin did I commit in my previous life? Didn't I just not help an old granny cross the road a few times? Why do I have to face such a predicament? I'm just a forger.
Zhou Shu sighed.
"Zhou Shu, what's wrong?" Yin Wuyou's voice sounded in Zhou Shu's ear.
Zhou Shu came back to his senses and looked at the pretty face in front of him. He couldn't help but peck her cherry lips.
Zhou Shu only raised his head when Yin Wuyou's face turned red and her breathing quickened.
"I've decided." Zhou Shu looked into Yin Wuyou's eyes. "For the sake of our happy life, I must bring everyone back to the Ten Nations!
"It's just fighting a war, isn't it? Who says a forger can't fight?"
A determined expression appeared on Zhou Shu's face. "Demonic beasts have claws and teeth. We have sabers. We'll cut off their heads with them."
Our happy life??Yin Wuyou blushed, and her eyes shone. She seemed to think of something and was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her face.
…
A hundred kilometers away from the camp, near the blood vortex…
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Tang Chengshi, Cao Chenyang, and the others were all gathered together.
Other than the soldiers who were still busy mining, the surviving generals of the Ten Nations had all arrived.
"Great General Meng, why isn't the King of the South here yet? It has been nearly five days," a middle-aged man said in a deep voice. This person was a general of Great Qi. His surname was Zhang, and his name was Wuyuan.
"Is what you say true?" Zhang Wuyuan said impatiently.
"General Zhang, are you suspecting me or the King of the South?" Meng Bai's face darkened.
"General Zhang, " Wang Mu said. "His Highness drove away the million-strong Demon Realm army alone. If it wasn't for His Highness, how many people do you think would still be alive?"
"That's not what I meant." Zhang Wuyuan was embarrassed by the public outrage. He scratched his head and said, "I'm just anxious.
"If this place is about to collapse, shouldn't we hurry up and think of something?"
"I've already told you how," Meng Bai said in a low voice. "From here, we'll pass through the Demon Realm and return to the Ten Nations."
"Wouldn't that be suicide?" Zhang Wuyuan frowned. "It's not that I'm afraid of death. But now that the Demon Realm army has been driven back to the Demon Realm, we only need to wait for the battlefield to reopen before we can go home. Why take this risk?"
"General Zhang, no matter what, you still don't believe in King Zhou." Tang Chengshi sneered. "If you don't want to go, fine. Great Qi can just stay here."
"Hmph." Zhang Wuyuan snorted. "Why? Can't you let me get to the bottom of this? I admire King Zhou for chasing away the Demon Realm army, but I'm not a lackey of Great Xia."
"What are you saying?" Tang Chengshi stood up angrily.
"I'm talking about whoever feels guilty." Zhang Wuyuan sneered.
Meng Bai and Wang Mu frowned. Apart from Great Xia, Great Qin, and Great Jin, which had fought with them from the beginning, the remaining troops of the other countries all had their own thoughts.
The only one who didn't have to worry was the original Great Wei soldiers, who were now known as the Criminal Army.
Although it was the Ten Nations Alliance, not everyone shared the same thoughts.
Zhang Wuyuan wasn't the only one who had doubts. The others just didn't say them out loud.
"General Zhang, if you're not convinced, let's spar!"
"So be it. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Enough!" Meng Bai shouted. "Is this the time to fool around?"
He glared at Zhang Wuyuan and Tang Chengshi before sweeping his gaze across everyone present.
"Why don't you tell me what everyone is thinking? My Great Xia will never force anyone to travel with us. If anyone is unwilling to travel with us, I will tell His Highness. We will not force anyone!"
Chapter 431: I've Given You Face, The Imperial Edicts Arrives (1)
"I agree with Brother Zhang. I also think that we should discuss this matter at length." A voice sounded as soon as Meng Bai finished speaking.
Everyone turned to look. The person who spoke was a man who looked to be in his thirties or forties but had snow-white hair.
This person was Great Zhao's General Bai Qiancheng.
Speaking of which, although Zhou Shu had driven the million-strong demon army back to the Demon Realm, the Ten Nations had already suffered heavy losses.
More than half of the commanders of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament had died at the hands of Yao Lian.
Currently, only Great Xia's Meng Bai, Great Qin's Wang Mu, Great Jin's Tang Chengshi, and Great Zhao's Bai Qiancheng were still alive.
Zhang Wuyuan, who spoke earlier, was actually not the supreme commander of Great Qi. It was just that the supreme commander of Great Qi had died in battle. As the strongest person in the Great Qi Army, he temporarily led the Great Qi army.
When Bai Qiancheng spoke, his tone was different from Zhang Wuyuan's.
When he said that, even Meng Bai and Wang Mu frowned.
"General Bai, you don't believe His Highness?" Meng Bai said. "You want to stay on the Ten Nations Martial Arts battlefield and wait for it to open again?"
"General Meng, I do not doubt your intentions." Bai Qiancheng shook his head. "It's just that this matter is very important. We can't possibly gamble with our thousands of lives just because you said so, right?"
...
The strength of the Ten Nations Alliance was already uneven.
The most miserable ones, Great Liang and Great Chen, were almost completely wiped out. Great Liang still had Cao Chenyang, a first-rank martial artist, to hold the fort, but there were only a few people left in Great Chen. The person with the highest cultivation level was only at the fourth rank of the Martial Dao, and he was not even qualified to participate in the meeting.
As for the remaining eight countries, there was no need to mention Great Wei. The original Great Wei soldiers, the current Criminal Army, had completely submitted to Zhou Shu.
Those who still retained a certain amount of strength were Great Xia, Great Qin, and Great Zhao.
The remaining military strength of these three countries was still more than 10,000 people. Although it was not comparable to the 30,000-strong Criminal Army, it wasn't considered bad.
There were only a few thousand people left in the armies of Great Han, Great Qi, Great Chu, and Great Jin. They were much weaker than Great Xia, Great Qin, and Great Zhao.
The relationship between the Ten Nations was already complicated. Now that there was a huge difference in strength, it was inevitable that some countries would band together.
After all, there were only around 90,000 people in the Ten Nations Alliance, but more than half of them belonged to Zhou Shu alone.
Zhou Shu had the 30,000-strong Criminal Army, and the Great Xia army definitely stood with him. He was the Side-by-side King of Great Qin, so the Great Qin army was definitely on his side.
The soldiers of these three parties alone exceeded 50,000.
Moreover, Tang Chengshi of Great Jin was also very close to him.
It was no wonder that the people from the other nations were worried. They couldn't help but worry that they would be treated as cannon fodder.
Now that Bai Qiancheng had come forward, as well as Great Qi's Zhang Wuyuan, the people from Great Han and Great Chu also came forward.
"That's right. If we return to the Ten Nations through the Demon Realm, won't we be walking into a trap? It wasn't easy for us to chase the Demon Realm army back to the Demon Realm. Are we going to send ourselves to their door again?"
"There's no chance of survival. When the time comes, the first to die will probably be nations like us who are not strong enough, right?"
"Even if we're being sent to our deaths, we have to make things clear. We can't die and still be confused."
"It's just your side of the story now. It's still uncertain if the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space will be destroyed. How can a world be destroyed so easily?"
The people of the various nations spoke one after another, and there were various opinions.
Those who were qualified to attend were either the supreme commanders or first-rank experts of the various nations.
But this commotion was no different from an ordinary marketplace argument.
Meng Bai's expression darkened.?His Highness took such a huge risk to chase the million-strong Demon Realm army back to the Demon Realm, but these bastards are still suspecting him!
If His Highness really wanted to screw you bastards over, would he have to go to so much trouble?
If he had attacked the Demon Realm army a few days later, all of you bastards would have died in the hands of the Demon Realm army!
Do you think it's safe here just because the Demon Realm army has been driven back?
The Demon Realm army had already invaded the Ten Nations Continent!
You bastards are still trying to judge a gentleman by a villain's standards. You're really inhumane!
"Don't panic, everyone," Bai Qiancheng said as he pressed his hands down.
The people of Great Qi, Great Han, and Great Chu immediately fell silent. Even a fool could tell that the four nations had clearly gathered together and were following Bai Qiancheng's lead.
"General Meng, we don't have any other intentions. We just want to consider the long term. Even if we want to use the Demon Realm to return to the Ten Nations, we have to have a reason, right? At the very least, the King of the South should appear and give us an explanation, right?
"This is not the matter of one family. The lives of tens of thousands of soldiers are at stake," Bai Qiancheng said righteously.
Just as Meng Bai was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded. "What explanation do you want me to give you?"
Everyone looked over and saw Zhou Shu sitting on a chair with his legs crossed. No one noticed when he had appeared!
Bai Qiancheng's pupils constricted slightly. This was the first time he had seen Zhou Shu. Even he hadn't noticed when Zhou Shu had appeared.
Chapter 432: I've Given You Face, The Imperial Edicts Arrives (2)
"Bai Qiancheng of Great Zhao greets King Zhou." Bai Qiancheng cupped his hands.
"Cut the crap," Zhou Shu said. "I don't care who you are, nor do I care who the rest of you are."
His gaze swept across Zhang Wuyuan and the others.
"You want an explanation, don't you?" Zhou Shu said coldly. "I'll give you an explanation.
"Those who are willing to follow me, stay. Those who are unwilling, scram now. Go wherever you want to go.
"I'm not your father. If you're willing to die, I can't be bothered."
Bai Qiancheng's expression turned ugly.
He, Bai Qiancheng, was the most powerful person in Great Zhao's military. Even the emperors of the various nations had to treat him with courtesy.
Meng Bai and Wang Mu didn't dare to speak with him in this manner just now.
Now, Zhou Shu didn't give him any face at all. This made Bai Qiancheng feel extremely humiliated.
"King Zhou, aren't you being too overbearing?" Bai Qiancheng said coldly with a dark expression.
...
"Overbearing?" Zhou Shu glanced at him. "If I'm really overbearing, believe it or not, I can kill you on the spot just based on what you said. I guarantee that no one in the world will dare to spout any more nonsense!
"I have already given you some face, yet you're choosing to do it the hard way."
Zhou Shu said impatiently, "I'll give you one last chance. If you're willing to leave with me, stay. If not, leave now.
"If anyone still stays here after three breaths, it means that they have tacitly agreed to follow me. At that time, if anyone still dares to complain, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Zhou Shu's eyes flashed like lightning as an aura spread out. Everyone felt as if the sky was about to press down on them, and their hearts became very heavy.
Bai Qiancheng's face turned pale. He had never experienced such a scene in his life!
He could neither leave nor stay now.
It was the same for Zhang Wuyuan and the others.
Although their statuses were not as high as Bai Qiancheng's, they were still first-rank experts after all. In their respective nations, they were also high and mighty figures. They had never been scolded like this in front of others.
A first-rank expert would be treated as a VIP wherever they went.
How dare Zhou Shu treat us like this!
Isn't he afraid that we would really leave in a fit of anger?
Zhou Shu was really not afraid.
He hadn't gathered the remnants of the Ten Nations' armies on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield because he thought highly of their strength.
To Zhou Shu, having more people might not be a good thing.
If not for the fact that there were so many people, he would leave them alone. At most, he would bring Yin Wuyou along. The world was so big. He could go anywhere he wanted.
Even the Demon Kings of the Demon Realm might not be able to make him stay. There was no need for him to worry.
He cared so much because he and they were all humans. If anyone didn't appreciate his kindness, he wouldn't be so kind as to beg them to stay!
"One!" Zhou Shu said loudly.
"Two!"
No one moved.
Bai Qiancheng, Zhang Wuyuan, and the others had never planned to really fall out with Zhou Shu. Previously, they had only been trying to show their authority.
Who would have thought that Zhou Shu wouldn't act according to common sense?
This put them in a dilemma.
If they leave, what if what Zhou said was true?
Without Zhou Shu leading them, could they flee to the Demon Realm?
If they encountered a Great Demon, who would stop it?
Even Bai Qiancheng would die if he really encountered a Great Demon.
If they stayed, it would be even more awkward.
Zhou Shu had already said so much. If they really stayed, wouldn't they have to obey him in the future?
They were not alone. They represented the nations behind them!
Great Zhao, Great Qi, Great Han, and Great Chu were all nations like Great Xia!
They were not vassals of Great Xia!
Why should they listen to the Great Xia's King of the South?
Even if he was also the Side-by-side King of Great Qin, that wouldn't do.
If they really listened to him, wouldn't it mean that Great Zhao, Great Qi, Great Han, and Great Chu were inferior to Great Xia and Great Qin?
Wang Mu looked at Bai Qiancheng and Zhang Wuyuan and suddenly felt pity for them.
You should have known this would happen. Why did you do that in the first place?
What are you going to do now?
Wang Mu was still reserved, but Tang Chengshi was already laughing out loud.
"Zhang Wuyuan, leave! Why are you staying here? Anyway, you're so powerful. If you really encounter a Great Demon from the Demon Realm, you can blow him to death with a single breath. Why continue staying with us?" Tang Chengshi said mockingly.
Zhang Wuyuan's face was red. If Zhou Shu wasn't here, he would have jumped out and fought to the death with Tang Chengshi.
But Zhou Shu was here. He had single-handedly expelled the million-strong demon army and easily killed a Great Demon.
No matter how confident Zhang Wuyuan was, he didn't think he could really be a match for Zhou Shu.
Zhang Wuyuan had never killed a first-rank martial artist before, but Zhou Shu had killed a countless number of them.
None of the first-rank demonic beasts that had died under his sword were weaker than him.
"I—" Zhang Wuyuan gritted his teeth and stood up.
Even if I, Zhang Wuyuan, die, even if I perish together with this Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament…
Before he could speak, a figure suddenly rushed through the door.
"Big Brother? What happened?" Zhou Shu stood up.
It was Mi Ziwen!
"Se-Second Brother!" Mi Ziwen's breathing was a little hurried. As a second-rank martial artist, it was obvious how rushed he was.
"Big Brother, don't be anxious. Speak slowly. With me around, the sky won't collapse," Zhou Shu said.
"No, it's Sun Gongping!" Mi Ziwen steadied himself and continued, "He's back!"
"Sun Gongping?" Zhou Shu was shocked.
He had looked for Sun Gongping before. According to Xiao Jianghe, Sun Gongping had been sent to the Demon Realm by Emperor Wei Wu.
Xiao Jianghe wouldn't lie about this. Zhou Shu had even wanted to go to the Demon Realm to find Sun Gongping several times, but the situation didn't allow him to do so.
Now, Mi Ziwen actually said that Sun Gongping had returned from the Demon Realm!
Zhou Shu had only seen one person who had returned alive from the Demon Realm. Or rather, in the history of the Ten Nations, there had only been one person who had returned—Cao Chenyang!
After all, Cao Chenyang was a first-rank martial artist and had the help of a human expert in the Demon Realm.
Sun Gongping's cultivation was far inferior to Cao Chenyang's. He had been in the Demon Realm without any companions. How did he return?
"Where is he?" Zhou Shu couldn't care less about Bai Qiancheng, Zhang Wuyuan, and the others.
"He's out there. I brought him with me, but he's injured and can't hold on much longer," Mi Ziwen said.
Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Shu had already strode out.
As soon as he left, everyone followed.
Bai Qiancheng and Zhang Wuyuan looked at each other. They didn't take the opportunity to slip away. Instead, they blended into the crowd and followed.
After leaving the tent, Zhou Shu immediately saw Sun Gongping sitting there with his back against a rock, looking weak.
Zhou Shu heaved a sigh of relief but said, "How did this happen? This is not the great Divine Constable Sun I know!"
"It's so that I can hold my head up in front of you," Sun Gongping said angrily. "But it didn't seem to work. The more I struggled, the greater the gap between us, so I gave up."
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. He was about to ask Sun Gongping how he had returned when he saw Sun Gongping's expression turn serious.
"Zhou Shu, receive the imperial edict!" Sun Gongping said in a deep voice. With a flip of his wrist, he took out a few scrolls from his Cosmic Bangle.
"Receive the imperial edict?" Zhou Shu was confused.?What's going on?
Sun didn't explain. He chose one of the scrolls at random and opened it. "Let's start with this. This is from Great Jin."
Great Jin??Tang Chengshi's ears pricked up.
Apart from his tone being a little more serious, Sun Gongping didn't look like he was going to read the imperial edict at all. It was mainly because he was too tired to stand up now. Otherwise, he might have been more imposing.
"We hereby confer upon Zhou Shu the title of Great Jin's Divine Might King…"
Sun Gongping's voice was not loud, but everyone heard him clearly.
