Mi Ziwen didnât release his aura either. He didnât believe a single word Yin Yuzhu said. If he couldnât find those hundreds of brothers, he wouldnât let Yin Yuzhu off even if he had to fight to the death.
âOkay, okay. I concede defeat.â Yin Yuzhu raised her hands helplessly. âThis is the ruins of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.â
âRed Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?â Mi Ziwenâs expression changed slightly.
âThatâs right. The Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain,â Yin Yuzhu said. âThe bronze plate in your kingâs hand is an identity token of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. It was very useful back then, but itâs useless now.â
Mi Ziwen had attended the meeting at the camp about the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, but Lu Wenshuang had never heard of it.
She looked questioningly at Mi Ziwen.
âWhen General Xiao raided a rat demon tribe near the camp, he found an identity bronze plate with the words Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain engraved on it,â Mi Ziwen explained. âWe suspect that the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain might be a sect or organization of some sort.â
âShould I say that you guys are ignorant? In ancient times, there were no nations. At the time, there were only sects. This Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was a sect that focused on forging,â Yin Yuzhu said. âJust treat it as a small country. The map you discovered is the topographic map of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.â
âIf you knew all this, why didnât you say so?â Mi Ziwen frowned.
Yin Yuzhu didnât say this in the camp!
âYou didnât ask me,â Yin Yuzhu said righteously. âDo I have to approach you myself to tell you that I know the place where the map is pointing to?
âEven if I did, would you believe me?
âItâs like what Iâm saying now. This mountain is the remains of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, but do you believe it?â
......
âOf course not.â Mi Ziwen snorted. âSince the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain is a human sect, why are its ruins in the Demon Realm? And the terrain here is completely different from that on the map.â
âI told you itâs the ruins. Do you understand ruins?â Yin Yuzhu patted her smooth forehead speechlessly. âOnly this mountain is the ruins of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. The other places around it are not.
âThe Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain isnât what you think it is. Itâs not in the Demon Realm or the Ten Nations Continent. Itâs not in the sky or the ground.
âWhen it fell apart, it was scattered. Whatâs so strange about a mountain landing here?â
âWhy do you know all this? You didnât tell us before, and now youâre telling us all this. What are you trying to do?â Mi Ziwen frowned.
âIâve lived a thousand years and eaten more salt than youâve eaten rice. I know a lot of things,â Yin Yuzhu said proudly. âIâm telling you this because I donât want to be wronged, although I donât lose anything even if youâve wronged me.â
Mi Ziwen and Lu Wenshuang looked at each other. They didnât know if Yin Yuzhu was telling the truth.
âGo on. What other secrets are there here!â Mi Ziwen said in a low voice. From the current information, he still couldnât see why the hundreds of Hundred Wars Armored Army soldiers had disappeared.
âDidnât I ask you here to dig up this mountain and see what secrets there are in the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?â Yin Yuzhu said angrily.
âYouâ¦â Even with Lu Wenshuangâs cold personality, she was angered by Yin Yuzhu. She felt that she had said a lot, but on careful thought, there was nothing of value at all!
Even if they knew that Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was an ancient sect, even if they knew that this mountain was the ruins of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, so what?
It wasnât helpful in finding the hundreds of armored soldiers!
Lu Wenshuang thought about how her master had specially instructed her to keep an eye on Yin Yuzhu before they set off. In the end, such a thing happened. What would her master think of her?
Would the image she had worked so hard to rebuild with her master crumble?
The damn woman!
âMiss Yin, let me ask you a question. Are my brothers still alive?â Mi Ziwen said coldly.
âIf you want to know, wouldnât you know after digging up all this mountain?â Yin Yuzhu said. âThey disappeared here. Itâs obvious that it has something to do with this mountain. As the saying goes, the one who creates the problem should be the one to solve itâ¦â
Mi Ziwen stared at Yin Yuzhu with a frown.
He was certain that she knew something.
But she refused to say anything, and there was nothing Mi Ziwen could do to her.
Yin Yuzhu was a first-rank expert. Even if they completely fell out with her, they might not be able to kill her. As for interrogation, it was even more impossible.
Even with all of them combined, they werenât confident in capturing Yin Yuzhu alive.
Zhou Shu was probably the only one in the entire camp who could do this.
âLittle Mi, work harder. This mountain isnât that big. Weâll be able to dig it all open in a few days,â Yin Yuzhu continued. âHurry up. Perhaps your brothers are still alive.â
Yin Yuzhuâs words made Mi Ziwenâs face darken. âMiss Yin, I promise you that if anything happens to my brothers, regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with you, I will take revenge on you!â
âIsnât it a womanâs prerogative to be unreasonable?â Yin Yuzhu blinked in confusion.
âI, Mi Ziwen, may not be your match now,â Mi Ziwen continued, ignoring her. âBut my second brother can kill you as easily as killing a chicken. When the time comes, even if I have to bear the humiliation, I will beg my second brother to kill you to repay the souls of those hundreds of brothers in heaven!â
Mi Ziwenâs face was solemn, his words powerful.
Yin Yuzhu rolled her eyes, speechless. Could threatening someone be so refreshing and refined?
âIf I were you, Iâd hurry up and dig up the mountain. You might even be able to save them.â Yin Yuzhu curled her lips. âWould I be afraid of your threat?â
Mi Ziwen snorted coldly. He could naturally tell that Yin Yuzhu was implying something, but it sounded like the hundreds of missing brothers were at least still alive.
âDig!â Mi Ziwen gritted his teeth and said to the remaining armored soldiers behind him.
Without Yin Yuzhu noticing, Mi Ziwen shot a look at a soldier. The soldier took advantage of the fact that everyone had dispersed to dig the mountain and quietly left, heading toward the camp of the Huaxia Pavilionâs Demon Realm branch.
Mi Ziwen didnât notice that when her back was facing him, a sly glint flashed across Yin Yuzhuâs eyes, like a fox that had stolen a chicken.
â¦
In the Huaxia Pavilionâs Demon Realm branch, Zhou Shu looked at the residue on the ground and frowned slightly.
Another failure.
Without Yang Hongâs luck enhancement, he had tried several times in a row but couldnât forge another connate divine weapon. Every time, he would encounter some problems that would cause the weapon to collapse.
Thereâs no problem in theory. Why wonât it work?
Zhou Shu frowned in thought. He recalled every step in his mind, trying to discover the reason for his failure.
Unfortunately, the Legendary Armament Canon was still upgrading. Otherwise, according to his past experience, when he forged the Crimson Firmament Sword, the Legendary Armament Canon would include it and automatically optimize its forging method.
Now that he couldnât use the Legendary Armament Canon, he could only slowly figure it out himself.
But since he had succeeded once, he was confident that he would eventually perfect this connate divine weapon forging technique. Even without the Legendary Armament Canon, he was now a top-notch forger. To him, the Legendary Armament Canon was more of a tool to increase his cultivation.
Just as Zhou Shu was about to try again, Shi Songtaoâs voice came from outside. âPavilion Master, Mi Ziwen sent someone back to report something important. Lookâ¦â
