The only one who had not conferred Zhou Shu as a king of their nation was Great Wei. Even so, the Great Wei soldiers had already sworn allegiance to Zhou Shu.
This way, neither Bai Qiancheng nor the others had the right to object to Zhou Shuâ¦
âOld Zhou, Iâve given up.â After Sun Gongping finished reading all the imperial decrees, he seemed to be talking to himself. âIn any case, I canât compare to someone as abnormal as you. Thereâs no point in competing.â
Zhou Shu was speechless. He looked at Sun Gongping and said, âWhere did you get these things?â
Zhou Shu actually didnât have many thoughts about being conferred the title of king. Of course, he did feel a little refreshed now.
Actually, to him, the title of king in nine nations was just icing on the cake. With his current cultivation, he was more than capable of becoming an emperor, let alone a king. This was assuming he was willing.
It was just that he had little interest in becoming an emperor.
What he was curious about now was where Sun Gongping had gotten so many imperial edicts. Also, were the emperors of these nations crazy?
But why did they confer him king at the same time?
If anyone knew what Zhou Shu was thinking, they would definitely spit at him. They had conferred him the title of king, yet he still said that they were crazy. Did his conscience get eaten by a dog?
âItâs a long story.â Sun Gongping glanced at everyone. Clearly, he had no intention of explaining himself in public.
âAll you need to know is that these imperial edicts are real.
âOld Zhou, King Zhou, youâre on a roll. I hadnât been idle either. Iâm a person of status now.â
......
Sun Gongpingâs eyes flashed with self-satisfaction. No one knew what his identity was, but it was obvious that he was very satisfied with his identity and felt that he was not much weaker than Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu smiled, unconcerned.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He looked back at Bai Qiancheng and the others with a faint smile. âIs there anyone who wants to leave? If you want to leave, do it early. If you stay here and dare to cause trouble again, the sword in my hand can kill both demonic beasts and humans!â
Bai Qiancheng smiled bitterly in his heart. He had already secretly scolded Sun Gongping.
Why didnât you come earlier? If you had come earlier, if I knew that King Zhou would become King Wuâan of Great Zhao, I wouldnât have stepped out.
I would have known my place and kept quiet.
Now, Iâve lost face and have to submit to King Zhou.
How can I show my face now?
âSince His Majesty has issued the decree, I will naturally obey it.â Bai Qiancheng cupped his hands. âI, Bai Qiancheng of Great Zhao, obey the orders of King Wuâan.â
In the end, Bai Qiancheng couldnât be as shameless as Zhang Wuyuan. This was already his limit.
If he did anymore, he would rather kill himself.
Zhou Shu didnât mind. He didnât care about these peopleâs attitudes at all. Was it important who Bai Qiancheng was?
As long as these people were obedient and didnât cause him trouble, it was enough.
âWe will obey the orders of King Wei Lie (King Jiu Jiang, King Ping Beiâ¦).â Everyone spoke in unison.
Zhou Shu nodded in satisfaction. âSince no one had any objections, prepare according to the plan.â
âGreat General Meng, General Wang, you are in charge of overall planning,â Zhou Shu instructed bluntly. âWithin two months, dig as many ores as you can for me. Those who have Cosmic Bangles, fill them up. Those who donât, carry as many as you can.â
Meng Bai: ââ¦â
Wang Mu: ââ¦â
Your Highness, are you serious? Weâre not going to the Demon Realm for sightseeing. Itâs going to be a life-and-death battle. How can we fight with so many ores on our backs?
Are we going to smash the demonic beasts to death with the ores?
âYour Highness, itâs fine to fill the Cosmic Bangles, but itâsââ Meng Bai hesitated.
âJust do as youâre told. I have my own plans,â Zhou Shu said.
Without much explanation, he grabbed Sun Gongping and soared into the sky.
After landing in a deserted place, Zhou Shu asked urgently, âGreat Divine Constable Sun, there were too many people just now for me to ask you. How did you come back? How did you get so many imperial decrees?â
Since Sun Gongping could obtain so many imperial decrees, it meant that he had returned to the Ten Nations Continent. Did this mean that Sun Gongping had grasped a passageway between the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven and the Ten Nations Continent?
If that was the case, there was no need for them to travel through the Demon Realm.
âDidnât I just say? Weâre people of status now,â Sun Gongping said proudly. âOld Zhou, although youâre the king of nine nations, weâre brothers. I am definitely worthy of being your brother.â
âCut the crap.â Zhou Shu couldnât help rolling his eyes. âIâm your uncle!â
Sun Gongpingâs face darkened. âWhat uncle?! Iâm now the World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa. Be more respectful, or elseâ¦â
Sun Gongping snorted.
âThe World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa?â Zhou Shu asked curiously.
âThatâs right. Thatâs me,â Sun Gongping said. âThe armament manuals are ranked by our Heavenly Mountain Villa. Old Zhou, if you want to get a good ranking, you have to suck up to me.â
âGo away,â Zhou Shu said angrily. âI donât care what you are. Even if youâre an emperor, you have to call me uncle!
âTell me quickly. How did you get back? Is there any way you can get everyone back to the Ten Nations?â
âNo!â Sun Gongpingâs face fell as he said bluntly. Why did Mi Ziwen want to become sworn brothers with him? Now, he had caused him to be a generation lower.
âDidnât I say? Iâm now the World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa. The Heavenly Mountain Villa sent me back,â Sun Gongping said. âI donât know exactly how I came back. I came back with a whoosh.
âAnd those imperial edicts were given to me by the Heavenly Mountain Villa.â
âThe Heavenly Mountain Villa?â Zhou Shu frowned slightly. âDonât they always stay out of worldly affairs? Why are they doing this now?â
âHow would I know? I havenât even seen them.â Sun Gongping shrugged, âWhen that bastard Emperor Wei Wu threw me into the Demon Realm, I thought I was dead meat.
âWho knew that when I opened my eyes, I realized that I wasnât in the Demon Realm. I was in a place filled with white light.
âThen someone told me that I had been chosen as the World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa and handed these imperial edicts to me.
âFrom beginning to end, all I heard was voices. I didnât even know if the person was a man or a woman.â
âIn other words, your title as a World Wayfarer is useless?â Zhou Shu said.
âWhat the fâ Who says Iâm useless?â Sun Gongping straightened his neck. âDo you know why the Nine Nations rushed to make you king?
âI know! Let me tell you. Great Wei colluded with the Demon Realm to destroy the protective layer of the Ten Nations Continent. The Demon Realm army has already invaded the Ten Nations Continent!
âThe Ten Nations are facing extinction. Theyâre treating you like a savior.â
âThatâs it?â Zhou Shu said. âI know already about this, and Iâve already killed Emperor Wei Wu. The question is, who gave them the confidence to treat me as their savior?â
âYou killed Emperor Wei Wu?â Sun Gongping was shocked for a moment before continuing, âOf course itâs the Heavenly Mountain Villa! Have you forgotten about the achievements listed in the armament manuals? You can even kill a Great Demon, so of course youâre their savior.
âI donât know how the Heavenly Mountain Villa obtained these imperial decrees.
âBut thatâs not important. Anyway, youâre the king of the Nine Nations now. This is the truth.
âOld Zhou, it wonât be easy to be these kings.â
âIs there a difference?â Zhou Shu asked. âDo you think titles can do anything to me? Theyâre thinking too much.
âIt wonât make any difference what I have to do with or without these king titles,â Zhou Shu said in a low voice. âIâll still do what I have to do. I wonât get myself involved just because of the king titles.
âWould you sacrifice your life for the Heavenly Mountain Villa just because of your identity as the World Wayfarer?â
Zhou Shu curled his lips in disdain. âThe Heavenly Mountain Villa is so petty. Theyâve already interfered, but theyâre still so stingy. If the Ten Nations Continent is occupied by the Demon Realm, will they have an easy time?
âEven without them, canât we break through? Itâs just the Demon Realm. Letâs take a look and see who can stop me!â
Zhou Shu stood tall and faced the direction of the passageway between Zhuling Grotto-Heaven and the Demon Realm, his battle intent soaring.
