“It’s Great Wei!” Cao Chenyang said with hatred. “Xiao Ziping of Great Wei betrayed Ji Lutian!
“Not only did he betray Ji Lutian, but he also personally led the people of the Demon Realm to hunt us down. I was injured by him!
“If I wasn’t lucky enough to find a spatial rift, I would have died at his hands!”
It’s indeed Great Wei! Zhou Shu thought.
Out of the ten nations, Zhou Shu first suspected Great Wei!
Back in Great Qin’s capital, Great Wei’s Shen Yue had used some strange method to attract a large group of demonic beasts.
At the time, Zhou Shu suspected that there was something wrong with Great Wei.
But he felt that it was none of his business, so he didn’t care too much.
Now that he thought about it, there was indeed something strange about Great Wei.
He still couldn’t figure out the truth about Xiao Shunzhi and Shen Yue’s resurrection.
What Great Wei had done in Great Qin’s capital seemed to be to confirm if there was really a problem with Great Qin’s Imperial Cauldron.
Zhou Shu wasn’t surprised at all that Great Wei was a traitor.
“Great Wei? Why did they do it?” Mi Ziwen frowned.
“Instead of being humans, they chose to be dogs. They must be sick,” Zhou Shu said disdainfully. He had never had a good impression of Great Wei.
“Senior Cao, you don’t have to worry too much.
“There are indeed some problems with Great Qin’s Imperial Cauldron, but for the time being, it won’t be completely destroyed.
“Therefore, the full arrival of the Demon Realm won’t happen anytime soon.”
“How do you know?” Cao Chenyang frowned. He came from the Demon Realm and had seen Ji Lutian before he escaped.
It was Ji Lutian who had told him personally that the plan had failed. The Great Qin’s Imperial cauldron could completely shatter at any moment.
Once Great Qin’s Imperial Cauldron shattered, the protective barrier of the human continent would collapse along with it.
“Why do I know?” Zhou Shu smiled.
Shi Songtao, who had already retreated to the door, continued, “Because our pavilion master is Great Qin’s Side-by-side King. Why do you think he knows?”
Cao Chenyang’s jaw dropped. “Aren’t you Great Xia’s King of the South?”
“Is there a problem? I’m Great Xia’s King of the South, but I’m also Great Qin’s Side-by-side King.” Zhou Shu shrugged.
He had personally participated in the restoration of Great Qin’s imperial cauldron.
It certainly wasn’t going to collapse anytime soon.
As long as Great Qin’s Imperial Cauldron didn’t collapse, what Cao Chenyang was worried about wouldn’t happen.
At most, one or two spatial rifts would occasionally appear between the two worlds. It wasn’t a problem for one or two people to pass through these spatial rifts, but it was impossible for an army to pass through.
Therefore, they didn’t need to worry about the full arrival of the Demon Realm.
As long as they wiped out the Demon Realm army in this world within three years and returned to the Ten Nations Continent to help Great Qin completely repair the Imperial Cauldron, the crisis would naturally be resolved.
To Zhou Shu, things were that simple.
But for the others, things were not so simple.
Even Yin Wuyou, Mi Ziwen, and the others were worried sick.
The Imperial Cauldron was a national treasure. Ordinary people didn’t even know of its existence.
If such a divine artifact was damaged, how could it be repaired?
“Do you think we should join forces with the other nations and destroy Great Wei’s army here?” Zhou Shu rubbed his chin.
“I don’t know about other nations, but the Great Liang army will definitely contribute!” Cao Chenyang said solemnly.
Everyone looked at each other.
Zhou Shu coughed lightly. “Senior Cao, there’s something I haven’t told you.
“Don’t get too agitated.
“Well… the army Great Liang sent to participate in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament was completely wiped out. The only ones left are Han Dazhi and a few others. That’s why they’re here.”
“What?” Cao Chenyang’s eyes widened as he shouted angrily.
Puu— He opened his mouth and spat out blood.
“Senior Cao, circulate your energy!”
Zhou Shu used the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form and said in a soul-stirring voice, “If you die, who will avenge the Great Liang army?”
Cao Chenyang’s aura fluctuated violently. All the pores on his body spewed out a faint blood mist.
But after hearing Zhou Shu’s words, he finally began to circulate his energy to heal his injuries.
The God of War Catalog was extremely magical.
Coupled with Cao Chenyang’s own cultivation and knowledge, he gradually suppressed his injuries.
After another two hours, Cao Chenyang opened his eyes again. Zhou Shu was the only one left in the room.
Everyone else went on to do their own things.
Although they had defeated Yao Qing’s army, it didn’t mean that the camp could rest easily.
There was no telling how many more Demon Realm troops there were in this world. They were able to defeat Yao Qing’s army more so because of luck. Once more soldiers arrived, it wouldn’t be so easy to get Zhou Shu to execute the decapitation tactic.
Cao Chenyang looked at Zhou Shu with an extremely complicated expression.
He still didn’t know the identity of the young man in front of him.
Great Xia’s King of the South, Great Qin’s Side-by-side King…
He felt dizzy just thinking about it. How could one person have both these titles?
Moreover, what was with the extremely profound martial arts in his mind?
If not for these insights, he wouldn’t have been able to suppress his injuries.
Cao Chenyang was certain that he had never learned this cultivation technique.
