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.
