âTushan, release them. Otherwise, today will be the day you die!â Zhou Shu said murderously.
âI let you take advantage of me last time. Do you really think Iâm so easy to bully?â Tushan snorted. âKid, you can forge connate divine weapons, right?
âIf you do me a favor, I might consider returning those people to you.â
Tushan looked at Zhou Shu, her eyes shining.
Zhou Shu snorted. âReturn them, or thereâs no room for discussion!â
âIs that so?â Tushan laughed. Her aura suddenly exploded, and a few tails appeared behind her. With a bang, the surrounding space shattered like a mirror.
Zhou Shu frowned when he saw his surroundings change.
At this moment, if he still didnât know what Tushan had done, he would really be stupid.
âYouâre courting death!â
Without any hesitation, Zhou Shu instantly slashed out with the Ming Hong Saber. He activated the Heavenly Saber Art, and saber beams filling the sky swept toward Tushan.
âIs that the extent of it? This is much weaker than the last time.â Tushan flicked her tail and shattered the saber beams.
She held the Kun Wu Saber and attacked as well.
âReceive my attack!â
A shocking saber beam appeared. Tushan had actually refined the Kun Wu Saber into her intrinsic divine weapon!
She had seen Xiao Jianghe use the Connate Huben Saber previously and saw through the secret at a glance.
To a Demon King, the secret of the connate divine weapon couldnât be hidden at all.
After refining the Kun Wu Saber, when Tushan used her saber technique again, it was more than 30% stronger than the last time she fought Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu didnât use his divine ability Total Annihilation. With a single slash, he was sent flying thousands of feet away, as if space had shattered.
As Tushan laughed, she and Zhou Shu disappeared into the shattered space.
A moment later, peace returned to the ruins of the Weapon Burial Mountain. It was as if nothing had happened.
Space remained the same. Mountains remained the same. Nothing was broken.
Zhou Shu flipped in the air, and his feet landed on the ground. Then he retreated repeatedly to reduce the impact.
He narrowed his eyes at his surroundings.
Tushan had disappeared.
And he was in a very different place from before.
This wasnât the ruins of the Weapon Burial Mountain at all!
After Zhou Shu returned to the camp, he had learned that Tushan had kidnapped Lu Wenshuang. Then he immediately rushed to the ruins of the Weapon Burial Mountain.
In the end, he saw Mi Ziwen and Yang Hong disappear. Now, he was in an unfamiliar place. Tushan was indeed plotting something!
Zhou Shu had a faint guess. With a flip of his wrist, a light flew out of the Cosmic Bangle.
The Longevity Sword!
Shi Changshengâs figure appeared on the Longevity Sword. He yawned and said, âWhatâs the matter? Didnât I tell you not to disturb me if thereâs nothing important? Is it that hard for me to try and get some sleep?â
âOld Shi, please take a look. Is this the Heavenly Hub Armory of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?â Zhou Shu asked solemnly.
âThe Heavenly Hub Armory of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?â Shi Changsheng rubbed his eyes. âDidnât I tell you? The Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain has long been shattered. We donât even know if thereâs still a Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. How can it be so easy to find?
âYouâve been tricked, havenât you?â He raised his head and looked around, and his eyes widened.
âDamn it. Did you really find the Heavenly Hub Armory? Are you that lucky?â Shi Changsheng was shocked. He turned his head to size up Zhou Shu. âHow can you be so lucky?â
âIs this really the Heavenly Hub Armory?â Zhou Shu frowned.
Previously, Tushan had thought of ways to lure his group to the Weapon Burial Mountain so that they could help her obtain the Kun Wu Saber.
At the time, Shi Changsheng had said that the Kun Wu Saber might be the key to entering the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountainâs Heavenly Hub Armory.
This time, Tushan had reappeared and even sneakily caused so much trouble. Zhou Shuâs first reaction was to think of the Heavenly Hub Armory.
He was originally wondering if Tushan couldnât enter the Heavenly Hub Armory, so she wanted his help.
From the looks of it, she had already opened the Heavenly Hub Armory. What was her goal?
Wasnât she afraid that he would take the Heavenly Hub Armory for himself?
âOld Shi, is there anything useful to the Demon Queen in the Heavenly Hub Armory?â Zhou Shu pondered. âLike the kind of thing she canât accept if she canât get it.â
âHow would I know?â Shi Changsheng rolled his eyes. âThe Heavenly Hub Armory doesnât belong to my family!
âAnd I donât know what the Demon Queen likes. Maybe she brought you here to sleep with you.
âBy the way, young fellow, that Demon Queen isnât bad. Do you want me to teach you an ancient dual cultivation technique? I guarantee that you will be overjoyed.â
Shi Changsheng smiled wretchedly, completely opposite to his sanctimonious appearance.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes.?Do I need it?
His God of War Catalog had that kind of cultivation technique. He knew a lot about it.
Back then, he and Yin Wuyou had cultivated together.
âElder Stone, is there any danger in the Heavenly Hub Armory?â Zhou Shu changed the topic.
From the looks of it, it was very likely that Mi Ziwen and Yang Hong had been brought in by Tushan.
Mi Ziwenâs and Yang Hongâs cultivation levels were not high. If there was danger hereâ¦
âObviously,â Shi Changsheng said. âThe Heavenly Hub Armory was an intrinsic divine weapon belonging to the one surnamed Diao. He always regarded it as a treasure. Even the disciples of Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain couldnât enter easily. Do you think such a place isnât dangerous?
âIf it were you, wouldnât you set up some means of preventing outsiders from entering your treasure vault?
âYoung fellow, itâs not that Iâm looking down on you, but with your cultivation level, it will be extremely dangerous to barge into the Heavenly Hub Armory.â
Shi Changshengâs words made Zhou Shu frown. If even his cultivation level had a slim chance of survival, wouldnât Mi Ziwen and Yang Hong die?
âBut you donât have to worry. As long as you donât force your way into those special places, with your skills, youâll have no problem surviving.â
Shi Changsheng continued, âLittle Zhou, youâre a forger yourself. The most precious thing in the Heavenly Hub Armory is weapons. You donât care about them. I say, thereâs no need for you to take the risk here.â
âDo you think I want to take the risk?â Zhou Shu said angrily. âI was tricked into coming here!â
âTricked into it? Why havenât I ever been tricked into such a good place before?â Shi Changsheng said, his eyes wide.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. He had just said that the Heavenly Hub Armory was dangerous, but now, it had become a good thing?
Could you be telling me that thereâs nothing good in the Heavenly Hub Armory because you want to keep it for yourself?
Shi Changsheng also realized that he had misspoken. He smiled awkwardly and said, âSince weâre here, itâs not a bad idea to stroll around.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIf I remember correctly, in addition to weapons, the Heavenly Hub Armory stores the forging materials they collected.
âI just donât know what level weâre at in the Heavenly Hub Armory.â
âThatâs not important.â Zhou Shu frowned. âSince the Heavenly Hub Armory is a weapon, itâs easy.
âThere really arenât many weapons in the world that I canât take care of.â
Zhou Shu looked up at the sky and said in a low voice, âIf I refine the Heavenly Hub Armory, everything will be fine!â
âYou want to refine the Heavenly Hub Armory?â Shi Changshengâs eyes widened in shock. âDo you know what level the Heavenly Hub Armory is? Itâs a nine heavens divine weapon!
âYou want to refine it? Do you know that if a divine weapon of this level is refined, a single tremor can destroy all martial artists below the Grotto-Heaven realm?â
âDonât talk so big, young fellow. Life is beautiful. Why take it so hard and get yourself killed?â
Shi Changsheng said earnestly, âWith me around, itâs not a problem to help you find a way out. How about it? Youâre grateful, right?â
