Chapter 451: Zero Arctic Domain, Important Information (1)
Yin Wuyou felt that this person who looked exactly like her great-grandmother was an imposter.
What a joke. The lifespan of a first-rank martial artist was only three to five hundred years, but Yin Yuzhu was the eldest daughter of the founding ancestor of Great Xia and lived more than a thousand years ago.
In other words, if she was still alive, she would probably be more than a thousand years old. How was that possible?
"Try it," Zhou Shu said. "What if we kill the wrong person?"
If they confirmed that Yin Yuzhu wasn't from the Yin family, then no matter who she was, Zhou Shu would immediately kill her.
This was the Demon Realm, the enemy's territory.
If he didn't kill an unidentified person who had come up and lied, was he supposed to keep her?
Yin Wuyou nodded solemnly and walked toward Yin Yuzhu.
After Yin Wuyou cultivated the God of War Catalog with Zhou Shu, her cultivation had long broken through to the first rank, equivalent to Yin Yuzhu's, so Zhou Shu wasn't worried that she would encounter danger.
Standing still, Zhou Shu saw Yin Wuyou walk up to Yin Yuzhu.
"Come." Yin Wuyou's voice was a little cold.
A disdainful smile appeared on Yin Yuzhu's lips before she stretched out her right hand.
Yin Wuyou frowned, and a hint of displeasure flashed across her eyes. Then she reached out and held Yin Yuzhu's hand.
...
She closed her eyes, and a faint glow came over her.
A moment later, Yin Yuzhu's body actually lit up as well. The light on their bodies connected and transformed into a golden dragon that circled around the two women before entering Yin Yuzhu's body and disappearing.
The two women's clothes fluttered in the wind. Under the golden light, they looked like fairies who had descended to the mortal world.
The corners of Yin Yuzhu's mouth curled up slightly. "Eldest granddaughter, do you believe me now? Come, call me Great-Grandmother first."
Yin Wuyou's expression turned ugly. She turned to look at Zhou Shu helplessly.
Zhou Shu reached out and pulled Yin Wuyou behind him. He stared at Yin Yuzhu with a cold expression.
Yin Yuzhu no longer looked panicked. She sized up Zhou Shu and said, "My eldest granddaughter lost her virginity to you, right? Are you my eldest granddaughter's husband then? Not bad, not bad."
She nodded slightly, acting like an elder.
The veins on Zhou Shu's forehead throbbed.
"Although you've proven that you have the Yin family's bloodline, it doesn't mean that you're Yin Yuzhu," Zhou Shu said coldly. "Even if you're Yin Yuzhu, it doesn't mean that you can put on the airs of an elder in front of me.
"Remember this. It's important."
Zhou Shu waved his hand. "Wang Xin, bring her back. Watch her and don't let her wander around!"
"Understood!" Wang Xin said loudly, joy flashing in the depths of his eyes.
Yin Yuzhu frowned. She wanted to say something, but Zhou Shu had already pulled Yin Wuyou back into the cave.
"M-Miss Yin, please." Wang Xin hesitated for a moment before coming to Yin Yuzhu's side and forcing an unnatural smile
Yin Yuzhu glanced at him, her eyes flickering.
"Let's go. Let great-grandmother see what you two are up to here," Yin Yuzhu said.
She was the first to follow Zhou Shu and Yin Wuyou into the bushes.
Wang Xin hurriedly followed. He didn't look a bit like a gentleman who didn't get close to women and only focused on the Martial Dao.
If Zhou Shu saw him like this, he would definitely remove his title as the strongest worker.
Mi Ziwen stood frozen for a moment. Then he carefully cleared the immediate area of tracks before returning to the karst cave.
…
In the karst cave, which was also the Huaxia Pavilion's Demon Realm branch, Zhou Shu, Yin Wuyou, Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Cao Chenyang, Tang Chengshi, Bai Qiancheng, Zhang Wuyuan, and the others were all present.
All the supreme generals of the Nine Nations had come.
They were about to go out and investigate the nearby terrain when Zhou Shu suddenly called them over solemnly. They were all puzzled.
Zhou Shu went straight to the point. "That's the situation. General Wang Xin saved a woman outside, and this woman called herself Yin Yuzhu. After our identification, she indeed has the bloodline of Great Xia.
"Now, let's discuss. Is this true?"
Everyone frowned. Most people didn't know the name Yin Yuzhu, but they had a good idea of the daughter of Great Xia's Emperor Xuan.
Emperor Xuan, the founder of Great Xia, was a figure from more than a thousand years ago. His daughter had to be more than a thousand years old.
"Even a first-rank martial artist can't live for a thousand years," Zhang Wuyuan said. "There must be a trick to this."
"That's right." Bai Qiancheng nodded. "If she can't explain why she can live for so long, I don't think we can trust her bloodline either.
"Your Highness, we're in a dangerous situation. We can't afford any unstable factors. My advice is, it's better to kill by mistake than to let her go!"
Bai Qiancheng's face was brimming with killing intent. As long as Zhou Shu agreed, he would immediately go out and kill that woman.
Yin Wuyou opened her mouth. Although she didn't want to believe that that woman was her great-grandmother, killing her just like that…
"Killing her is not the best idea." Wang Mu shook his head. "This person's appearance is too coincidental. Everyone, this is the Demon Realm!
"Why is she here by such coincidence? Don't you think there's something wrong?"
Chapter 452: Zero Arctic Domain, Important Information (2)
"Has our whereabouts been compromised? That's the important question!"
Everyone's expressions were solemn. This place was their base in the Demon Realm. If it was really discovered by the demons of the Demon Realm, it would definitely be a life and death crisis for them.
"Do you mean we should confine and question her?" Bai Qiancheng said in a deep voice. "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
How could a first-rank expert be interrogated so easily?
"We can't kill her, and it's not appropriate to torture her for information," Meng Bai said seriously. "Then, the best way is to watch her closely and slowly observe her."
He was in a more difficult position than Wang Mu and the others.
To Wang Mu, it didn't matter to him if they tortured or killed Yin Yuzhu. After all, she wasn't part of his nation's imperial family.
But Meng Bai was a subject of Great Xia, and this matter was closely related to him.
"Your Highness, I think the first thing to do is to find out why she's still alive," Meng Bai continued. "If she can't give a reasonable explanation for this, I think we can implement the suggestions of the generals. We can torture her to find out why she's here and then kill her!"
Meng Bai's eyes were also full of killing intent. Compared to the safety of the Ten Nations Alliance, the life of a woman was nothing.
…
"Little Wang, you guys are really something. You actually found such a place."
While Zhou Shu and the others were discussing what to do with Yin Yuzhu, she was observing the cave excitedly with Wang Xin.
Wang Xin, a burly man, was now following Yin Yuzhu like a lackey. He looked very uncoordinated.
He forced a smile and said, "His Highness found this place."

"Little Wang, are you also from Great Xia?" Yin Yuzhu turned around and glanced at Wang Xin.
"No, I'm from Great Qin," Wang Xin said.
"Then, why do you call Great Xia's prince consort 'Your Highness'?" Yin Yuzhu was puzzled.
"Miss Yin, His Highness isn't the prince consort of Great Xia!" Wang Xin said seriously.
"He's not? Isn't that little girl Great Xia's princess? He has already taken her virginity. You're saying that he's not the prince consort of Great Xia?" Yin Yuzhu had an expression that said 'don't lie to me'.
"He's not." Wang Xin scratched his head. "His Highness is the King of the South of Great Xia and also the Side-by-side King of Great Qin. That's why I call him 'Your Highness'. By the way, he's also the Country Protector King of Great Liang, King Wu'an of Great Zhao, King Wei'lie of Great Han…"
Wang Xin counted with his fingers and said one by one.
Yin Yuzhu's mouth widened in shock. "He alone is a king of nine nations? Are you lying to me?"
"Of course not. His Highness isn't an ordinary man," Wang Xin said. "So, Miss Yin, don't put on airs in front of him. Otherwise, you'll be the one suffering."
Before Wang Xin could finish speaking, he felt a gust of wind, and then Zhou Shu's figure appeared in front of them.
"Your Highness!" Wang Xin called.
Zhou Shu nodded, then his gaze landed on Yin Yuzhu. "Let me ask you a question. How did you survive until now?"
Yin Yuzhu sized up Zhou Shu curiously, her eyes flickering. "If I say that I don't know either, will you believe me?"
"Yes." Zhou Shu nodded. "And I'll send you on your way immediately."
Killing intent erupted from Zhou Shu's body, and the earth-grade Great Destroyer Sword was unsheathed.
Yin Yuzhu pouted. She already looked like a loli, so when she pouted, she looked even more like a little girl.
"It's no fun. You can't even take a joke," Yin Yuzhu muttered. Then she said. "It's fine even if I tell you.
"Back then, by chance, I once learned a divine ability called the Zero Arctic Domain. This divine ability can produce extreme coldness and freeze everything.
"Not long after I came to the Demon Realm, I was chased by demonic beasts and was seriously injured. Helpless, I used the Zero Arctic Domain to freeze myself to prevent my injuries from worsening.
"Before that, I didn't expect it either. When I froze myself, my body didn't seem affected by time and didn't seem to age.
"After that, every once in a while, I'd freeze myself for years or even decades. That's how I survived until now," Yin Yuzhu explained reasonably. "I was frozen for decades this time. When I opened my eyes, I saw you guys."
"Use your Zero Arctic Domain," Zhou Shu said solemnly.
"Now? At you?" Yin Yuzhu was puzzled.
"Come on!" Zhou Shu said coldly.
Yin Yuzhu harrumphed and no longer hesitated. She raised her hands, and her white jade-like palms were instantly covered in a layer of frost. An extremely cold aura enveloped Zhou Shu's entire body.
Zhou Shu didn't resist. Instead, he carefully sensed the cold aura.
The aura was extremely cold. In the blink of an eye, Zhou Shu felt his blood freeze, and even his spiritual essence seemed to freeze.
How domineering!
Zhou Shu's body trembled slightly. His spiritual essence and true qi surged, dispersing the cold in his body.
Flames suddenly surged from his hands. The Iron Smelting Hands Technique activated, and the high temperature quickly dispelled the cold in his body.
"It's enough," Zhou Shu said.
"Now do you believe me?" Yin Yuzhu retracted her hands. "My Zero Arctic Domain can extend people's lifespan and retain their youth. It has endless uses."
Zhou Shu was expressionless. He had more or less believed her.
After personally experiencing it, he was certain that this Zero Arctic Domain could indeed freeze the human body.
In theory, it could indeed delay the decline of people's vitality.
This reason was barely plausible.
Zhou Shu stared at Yin Yuzhu. After a long time, he slowly said, "Wang Xin, find her a room and let her stay there. The supplies will be as usual. If there's nothing, don't let her leave the room."
"Wait, what do you mean? Are you confining me?" Yin Yuzhu said angrily. "Do you know who I am? I'm your great-grandmother!"
"I'll get Xiao Jianghe to cooperate with you." Zhou Shu ignored Yin Yuzhu and looked at Wang Xin. "If she dares to leave her room, I'll allow you to act first and report later."
"Bastard!"
Zhou Shu had already walked far away, but he could still hear Yin Yuzhu's furious voice.
After turning a corner, he bumped into Yin Wuyou, who was pacing back and forth anxiously.
Zhou Shu stepped forward and slapped Yin Wuyou's butt.
"Are you still thinking about Yin Yuzhu?" Zhou Shu smiled.
"Zhou Shu!" Yin Wuyou was originally shocked. But when she saw that it was Zhou Shu, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief. "That person…"
"I didn't kill her," Zhou Shu said. "Don't think too much. Whether she's Yin Yuzhu or not, you don't have to treat her like your great-grandmother. Just do what you have to do.
"Aside from being a bit older, she's not all that remarkable, is she?"
"You mean she's really my great-grandmother?" Yin Wuyou's mouth was wide open in disbelief. "How did she do it? She's already so old, but she still looks so young. She looks about the same age as me."
"Cultivate the God of War Catalog well, and you will be able to stay young forever," Zhou Shu said with a smile.
Yin Wuyou blushed slightly and wrapped her fingers around the corner of her clothes. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito. "Should we cultivate now?"
Zhou Shu's heart burned, and he almost had a nosebleed.
Just as he was about to cultivate with Yin Wuyou on the spot, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
"Your Highness!" Wang Xin's voice came from afar.
Zhou Shu said gloomily, "What are you shouting for? I'm here."
Yin Wuyou was so embarrassed that she flew away to escape. Zhou Shu couldn't stop her even if he wanted to.
"What are you doing? Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on Yin Yuzhu? Why are you here?" Zhou Shu said angrily to Wang Xin.
Wang Xin was panting and didn't notice Zhou Shu's displeasure. He said, "Mi Ziwen is keeping an eye on her. Your Highness, Miss Yin said that she has important information for you!"
Chapter 453: A Trade, The First Mission of Huaxia Pavilion's Demon Realm Branch (1)
"If you have something to say, say it quickly." Zhou Shu looked at Yin Yuzhu angrily.
"I want to make a deal with you!" Yin Yuzhu didn't care about Zhou Shu's tone and stared at him seriously.
"Who do you think you are to do that?" Zhou Shu snorted coldly.
"Because I've been in the Demon Realm for hundreds of years!" Yin Yuzhu said. "Based on my understanding of the Demon Realm, I know more than all of you combined!
"If you want to survive in the Demon Realm, I can help you!"
Her small face lifted slightly as she spoke. She looked confident.
Zhou Shu frowned and seriously sized up Yin Yuzhu.?That's right. She looks like a loli, but she's actually an old lady.
An old lady who has lived for more than a thousand years! Although she's been sleeping most of the time for the past thousand years, she must have been awake for at least a century or two, right?
Come to think of it, the time she's lived in the Demon Realm might even be longer than the time she's lived in the Ten Nations.
"We can still survive in the Demon Realm without you," Zhou Shu said coldly.
Yin Yuzhu had lived in the Demon Realm for hundreds of years, but so what?
If Zhou Shu was willing, he could surpass Yin Yuzhu in this aspect at any moment.
Zhou Shu still had the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique!
...
If he went all out, he could enter the dream of any demonic beast at any time. His understanding of the Demon Realm would definitely increase then.
But if he did that, he'd be digging his own grave.
The Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique wasn't so easy to use.
"If you want to make a deal with me, you'll have to show your worth first," Zhou Shu continued.
"Isn't it just about benefits?" Yin Yuzhu curled her lips in disdain. "I see that you people are miserable. I know that there's a tribe of the Rat race not far from here. They like to hide things the most. If you eliminate them, it will probably be enough for you to eat for a while."
"You think we can eat what rats eat?" Zhou Shu said.
"Are you stupid, or do you think I'm stupid?" Yin Yuzhu rolled her eyes. "The Rat race, not rats! Demonic beasts are different from ordinary beasts, okay?
"What the Rat race eats might not be worse than what you eat. Besides, what's the difference between you and ground rats if you hide in this hole?" She looked around in disgust. In this cave, there was nothing she wanted. It was extremely simple.
"Tell me first. What do you want?" Zhou Shu looked at Yin Yuzhu and knew that she wouldn't easily reveal the location of the Rat race tribe.
"First of all, I'm not a prisoner. You can't restrict my freedom." Yin Yuzhu raised her slender fingers. "Second, you have to satisfy my needs."
"Give up." Without thinking, Zhou Shu got up and walked out.
"Wait!" Yin Yuzhu said angrily. "Why aren't you playing by the rules? If the price isn't suitable, bargain! I didn't say that you couldn't bargain!"
"Give me the location of the Rat race tribe, and I'll add fish for your daily meals. End of discussion," Zhou Shu said coldly. "If you agree, then deal. If you don't, then forget it."
Yin Yuzhu's eyes widened. She couldn't figure out why this man in front of her was so shameless. He wasted his good looks!
Only one extra fish every day for such an important piece of information?
Do you take me for an inexperienced young lady?
"No, at least two! One steamed and one braised!" Yin Yuzhu said angrily.
"No. There's only grilled fish," Zhou Shu said. They were starting everything from scratch. The soldiers were making do with their meals, but she still wanted to specify the cooking method?
I don't even get such treatment!
Yin Yuzhu panted heavily, her chest heaving violently. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, deal!"
"A hundred and thirty kilometers southwest of the previous cave entrance, the Rat race lair is underground, and the entrance is… Remember this. Don't blame me if you can't find the place when the time comes," Yin Yuzhu said casually before chasing him away.
Zhou Shu didn't intend to stay with her for long. He instructed Wang Xin to watch over her and then headed straight for the army's forging room.
"Your Highness." Xiao Jianghe bowed respectfully when he saw Zhou Shu.
"Jianghe, there's work to do," Zhou Shu said. He originally wanted Xiao Jianghe to watch over Yin Yuzhu. But after thinking about it, it was best to send the Criminal Army to kill the Rat race.
The Criminal Army, which was former Great Wei soldiers, were the elites of Great Wei. In terms of individual strength, they were even stronger than Mi Ziwen's Hundred Wars Armored Army.
Originally, the Hundred Wars Armored Army wore the Dark Cloud Armor and was stronger than the Criminal Army. But in the previous battle, the Hundred Wars Armored Army had suffered heavy casualties, and they had yet to recover.
Although the Criminal Army had also suffered many casualties, they still had six thousand people, accounting for a fifth of the Ten Nations Alliance.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?" Xiao Jianghe said seriously.
"There's a demon tribe more than a hundred kilometers away. It's the Rat race.
"According to the information, they're not too strong. Take some men and eliminate them," Zhou Shu instructed.
"Understood." Xiao Jianghe got up to take action.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Shu stopped him. "Don't be anxious. I'm not done yet.
"Go find Deputy Pavilion Master Shi. There are still some Cosmic Bangles in the pavilion. You can all bring them with you to store the spoils of war."
