“I’m mainly going to see if I can close the gap between the Ten Nations Continent and the Demon Realm,” Zhou Shu said solemnly. “As long as we can close the gap, the Demon Realm army invading the Ten Nations will become a lone army. Then, it won’t be difficult for the Ten Nations to join forces and kill them.
“The only problem is that if I go there, I might not come back.”
Zhou Shu’s gaze swept across Meng Bai and the others. “If I can return, there’s no need to say anything. If I can’t, the first thing you do is kill Yin Yuzhu.
“Don’t hesitate, and don’t care whether she’s really the daughter of Emperor Xuan. Kill her immediately.”
“I understand,” Meng Bai said in a low voice. Yin Yuzhu’s identity was mysterious, and he didn’t know if she was an enemy or a friend. If Zhou Shu didn’t return this time, it would be the best choice for the Ten Nations Alliance. They had to eliminate all the unstable factors.
“The second thing is not to rush things. Everyone must continue to accumulate strength secretly.
“To tell you the truth, even if I can close the gap between the two worlds this time, the barrier between the two worlds won’t last much longer. There aren’t many stable days left for the Ten Nations.”
The Demon Realm had invaded the Ten Nations Continent through the gap opened by Emperor Wei Wu. Zhou Shu had Great Wei’s imperial cauldron, so he was very confident that he could make up for this gap.
But there was another problem. There was also a problem with Great Qin’s imperial cauldron. Therefore, the barrier between the Ten Nations Continent and the Demon Realm was already in danger, and it was unknown when it would completely collapse.
“Six words. Build high walls and store grains,” Zhou Shu said solemnly. “This is all I ask of you.”
“Build high walls and store grains…” the generals murmured and gave him a thumbs-up.
The king always claimed that he didn’t know how to lead troops, but his talent made them all embarrassed.
A casual sentence could enlighten people. This six-word policy and the advice he gave previously were simply the foundation of the Ten Nations Alliance in the Demon Realm.
……
With these few words and what he had said before, Zhou Shu could become a master of the art of war, the kind that no one dared to refute!
Zhou Shu looked up in the direction Mi Ziwen and the others had gone. He had wanted to wait for them to return to see the situation. But recently, Great Wei’s imperial cauldron was acting strangely. He knew that he couldn’t wait any longer.
If he waited any longer, the Ten Nations might really be wiped out. Then, all of them would become homeless.
“Alright, generals, although Demon Kings can’t pass through the gap between the two worlds, it’s easy for Great Demons to pass through. It’s hard to say how many demonic beasts have already gone to the Ten Nations Continent. It’s better to block the passage as soon as possible.”
Zhou Shu cupped his hands. “I’ll leave this place in your hands.”
“On behalf of the Ten Nations, thank you, Your Highness!” The generals all bowed solemnly.
“Wuyou, let’s go,” Zhou Shu said.
Zhou Shu didn’t have the ability to bring the Ten Nations Army back to the Ten Nations Continent for the time being, but it wouldn’t be a problem to bring one person.
Of course, bringing Yin Wuyou along was also for Zhou Shu’s selfishness. How could his woman stay in a dangerous place?
As long as the passage was blocked, the Ten Nations Continent would definitely be much safer than the Demon Realm.
The passage opened by Emperor Wei Wu was at most a narrow path. Even if the Demon Realm invaded, the number of people who could pass through was limited.
But in the Demon Realm, they had to face almost an infinite number of demonic beasts.
One was hard mode, and the other was hell mode. They were simply incomparable.
Holding Yin Wuyou’s slender waist, Zhou Shu took a step and soared into the sky. The wind blew his sleeves, and everyone could clearly see the row of Cosmic Bangles on his wrist…
…
Tens of thousands of kilometers away from Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch, about ten feet from the ground, there was a pitch-black hole with a diameter of around forty feet. It looked like a black hole.
Outside the black hole, on the endless plain, there were countless demonic beasts.
Every two hours, some of the demonic beasts would line up and enter the black hole.
When the black hole trembled and threatened to collapse, they would stop. Then in another hour, when the black hole was stable, they would continue.
Among the densely packed demonic beasts, there were also some humanoid demonic beasts. These humanoid demonic beasts were either riding on the backs of some bigger demonic beasts or sitting cross-legged on rocks. They didn’t look like they were going to the Ten Nations Continent at all.
Instead, it looked like they were going on an outing…
Boom!
Suddenly, a sonic boom sounded, and a stream of light instantly appeared in front of the black hole.
“Who is it?!”
A few shouts sounded, and the aura of first-grade demonic beasts exploded. Several divine power lights smashed toward the figure.
Boom!
The figure didn’t even turn around. A sword beam shot out and collided with the divine powers. With a bang, energy spread in all directions.
The violent wind and waves overturned all the demonic beasts within a few meters.
At this moment, the demonic beasts saw a man and a woman appear in front of the black hole.
That’s right. There were two people!
The auras of dozens of first-rank demonic beasts soared into the sky. The demonic beast army split into a few groups, and the first-rank demonic beasts scattered throughout the army appeared.
“Where did you come from?” a first-rank demonic beast shouted.
The auras of this man and woman were both at the first rank. It seemed that they were spies hidden in the Demon Realm.
The group of first-grade demonic beasts licked their lips and revealed sinister smiles.
Two first-ranks actually dared to appear before them so casually. They were really courting death.
This man and woman were none other than Zhou Shu and Yin Wuyou.
The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly as he looked at the dozens of first-rank demonic beasts.
“You guys are lucky you get to live.” Zhou Shu sneered. If not for the fact that he had something important to do next, it would be a loss that he didn’t kill the first-rank demonic beasts with Total Annihilation.
“But let me collect some interest first.”
Zhou Shu snorted. He stomped his right foot heavily, and the ground rumbled. It was as if an earthquake had occurred within a radius of several kilometers.
“Water Frost!” Zhou Shu shouted as a beautiful three-foot-long sword appeared in his hand.
The sword slashed down, and blood fell from the sky.
A chill spread out at a visible speed, and white frost began to appear on the ground.
Brrr—
The demonic beasts closest to Zhou Shu couldn’t help shivering.
When the first-rank demonic beasts in the distance saw that the situation wasn’t right, they unleashed their divine powers.
But it was too late. Countless sword beams shot out. All the demonic beasts within a hundred feet of Zhou Shu turned into ice sculptures without a chance to make any sound. Then under the sword beams, they turned into fragments.
All the first-grade demonic beasts felt their hearts turn cold. What kind of weapon was that? It clearly looked like an earth-grade weapon, but why was its power so domineering?
This didn’t match their understanding of human weapons.
“Stop him!” a first-rank demonic beast shouted.
At this moment, the first-rank demonic beasts realized that after Zhou Shu killed countless demonic beasts with his sword, he and Yin Wuyou walked into the black hole side by side.
The group of first-rank demonic beasts wanted to stop him, but they saw a shocking sword beam fly out of the black hole.
“Heaven Slaying Sword Art!”
The sword beam seemed to cut the sky in half. The black hole trembled violently, as if it was about to collapse.
Swoosh!
A line of blood appeared between the eyebrows of the first-rank demonic beast at the front, and the expression on his face gradually froze. A moment later, his body split in half and fell to the ground with a thud. Blood and internal organs flowed all over the ground. The scene instantly fell silent, and the group of first-rank demonic beasts stopped in their tracks.
