Chapter 323 – Rescued Person From the Demon Realm (2)
Lu Wenshuang and Liang Hongxiu knew Yang Hong, so they didn’t exchange many pleasantries before everyone came to the camp.
Only now did they know that Yang Hong had returned from the Demon Realm.
“Divine Constable Yang, you’re not going to tell me that you killed your way into the Demon Realm, are you?”
If he didn’t know Yang Hong well and knew that he wasn’t someone who spoke without thinking, Zhou Shu would really suspect that he was bragging.
“I don’t have that ability.” Yang Hong smiled bitterly. “Previously, I encountered a demonic beast. You know my strength, Your Highness. I’m definitely not its match.
“Just as I was fighting the demonic beast, I was suddenly brought to a place by it.
“Then the demonic beast was killed by this person. Before he fainted, he told me that that place was the Demon Realm. He even told me to escape.”
Yang Hong was very nervous and spoke incoherently.
Zhou Shu listened for a long time before barely understanding what he meant.
“You’re saying that some demonic beasts can leave the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield now and return to the Demon Realm?” Zhou Shu said.
According to past experience, once the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament began, the space here would be sealed to a certain extent. The people inside could only leave after three years.
It was the same for both the ten nations and the Demon Realm army.
Now that Yang Hong said that he had been brought to the Demon Realm by a demonic beast, there was a big problem.
If the demonic beasts could freely travel to and from the Demon Realm now, it would definitely not be a good thing for the ten nations’ armies.
It meant that they could exchange information and send reinforcements at any time. Meanwhile, the ten nations’ armies couldn’t send news to the outside world. For these three years, they would be alone!
“Yes.” Yang Hong said seriously. “I don’t know how the demonic beast did it. Anyway, it bumped into me, and then I arrived in the Demon Realm.”
“So, how did you get back?” Zhou Shu asked.
“He brought me back.” Yang Hong pointed to the man on his back.
“After he brought me back, he fainted.” Yang Hong said anxiously, “Your Highness, he must have important news to report!”
“I know,” Zhou Shu said solemnly. Without hesitation, he took out a Breakthrough Pill and stuffed it into the man’s mouth.
He had no medical knowledge, and there was no doctor in the camp.
Mi Ziwen was slightly skilled in medicine, but it was obvious that he wouldn’t have a good solution to treat such a dying patient.
The Breakthrough Pill was the only method Zhou Shu could think of now.
As for whether it would be effective, it would depend on this person’s luck.
To be honest, if he was a first-rank martial artist, the Breakthrough Pill would definitely be ineffective.
Even if he wasn’t, whether the Breakthrough Pill could save him depended on his luck.
Not all injuries could be healed by leveling up.
… Including Lu Wenshuang’s.
After giving Lu Wenshuang a Breakthrough Pill, he instructed Shi Songtao to settle Liang Hongxiu and the others down. Zhou Shu met Mi Ziwen, Yin Wuyou, Mei Wushang, and the others in a stone house.
Everyone was considered the higher-ups of the army in the camp. Everyone was very happy that they had defeated Yao Qing’s army.
But the news that Yang Hong brought back made everyone’s hearts sink.
It was definitely not good news that the people of the Demon Realm could travel freely.
“If the people of the Demon Realm can really travel back and forth freely, why didn’t the demonic beasts return to the Demon Realm when we attacked them previously?” Mi Ziwen said in a low voice. “Or do they need to meet certain conditions before they can go back and forth from the Demon Realm?”
“That seems to be the case,” Yin Wuyou said. “But even so, if the Demon Realm army can send news, they can send reinforcements targeting us. We’ll be in danger.”

“There’s another question. Is it possible for people from the Demon Realm to travel to and from the Demon Realm at any time, or is there a fixed passage?” Mi Ziwen frowned. “If it’s a fixed passage, is the passage always open, or—”
“I don’t think it’s always open,” Yang Hong said. “I’ve tried since I came back. I haven’t found a passage.”
He was experienced and had tested what Mi Ziwen said.
“I think that the demonic beast that knocked Divine Constable Yang into the Demon Realm might not have taken the initiative to do so.” Zhou Shu pondered. “If an ordinary demonic beast could freely return to and from this world, the previous Demon Realm army wouldn’t have been defeated by us. They could have fled back to the Demon Realm.
“My guess is that a spatial rift happened to appear at the place where Divine Constable Yang and the demonic beast fought. Then the two of them fell into it and went to the Demon Realm.
“And this spatial rift was very likely caused by the person Divine Constable Yang saved.”
Mi Ziwen and the others looked thoughtful for a moment, then nodded.
In a sense, what Zhou Shu said was more logical.
“If your guess is correct, then what is the background of the person Divine Constable Yang saved? What kind of cultivation can shatter space?” Mi Ziwen said grimly.
“It might not have anything to do with his cultivation. If he really had this ability, wouldn’t he have returned sooner?” Zhou Shu said.
“According to my guess, something unexpected happened between this world and the Demon Realm, causing some cracks to appear in the barrier between this world and the Demon Realm. This person made use of these cracks.”
Zhou Shu suddenly had a thought. There was a problem with the Great Qin’s imperial cauldron, but the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament was held normally.
He had been wondering if the Great Qin’s imperial cauldron affected the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.
Now that Yang Hong had brought back such news, Zhou Shu had more guesses.
Perhaps it wasn’t that there was no impact but that he didn’t notice any!
The imperial cauldrons were a barrier that protected the ten nations. If something went wrong, it meant that this barrier was no longer complete.
This might be the reason why the Demon Realm army could send so many forces this time.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shu frowned slightly.
If there’s really a problem with the barrier, can the army of the Demon Realm march in?
If so, we are in serious trouble.
If the Demon Realm army occupied this world and attacked the outside world through here, it would be a catastrophe for the ten nations.
“Whatever the truth may be, we must prepare for the worst now,” Mi Ziwen said seriously. “If the Demon Realm army can really come and go as they please, then we might have to face more than the current Demon Realm army in this world.
“If we lose, in three years, when the passage opens again, the Demon Realm army will be able to march in. At that time, the ten nations will no longer be in power.”
Mi Ziwen’s heart was heavy. The army of the Demon Realm was already stronger than the ten nations’ armies here. If they still had endless support, how could they continue fighting this war?
The confidence they had gained because of the Dark Cloud Armor had now dropped a little.
“Preparations must be made.” Zhou Shu wasn’t as pessimistic as Mi Ziwen. “If we can really go to the Demon Realm, that’s a good thing. I know that the Demon Realm has a few unique forging materials…”
Everyone looked at each other. The king was really daring.
Could it be that he wanted to conquer the Demon Realm?
Speaking of which, the king seemed to like using demonic beasts as miners…
Everyone smiled bitterly and shook their heads. Subduing hundreds of demonic beasts was not the same as conquering the Demon Realm.
“There’s no hurry. When the person Divine Constable Yang saves wakes up, and we figure out what’s going on, if there’s really a spatial rift leading to the Demon Realm, I want to go there.”
Zhou Shu rubbed his chin. He really knew that there were several special forging materials in the Demon Realm. If he could obtain them, he would definitely be able to forge a batch of very good weapons.
Previously, when he entered the Yao Qing dream and saw these forging materials, he had been thinking about them.
If he could really go to the Demon Realm, he really wanted to take a look. With his current cultivation, he wasn’t afraid of any danger. Even if he couldn’t defeat them, couldn’t he still escape?
