Chapter 1409 Victory, The Thirty-Six Generals of the Ancient Heavenly Court (3)
"I don"t know the human race, but most of you have the bloodline of the Heavenly Court. You"re descendants of the Heavenly Court," w.a.n.g E said. "Since the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom you"ve mentioned dare to call the descendants of the Heavenly Court this name, it means that what happened back then is related to them!"
w.a.n.g E said grimly, "Lord, please give the order. The one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers of my Jade Pivot Fire Palace have survived until today to avenge my Heavenly Court!"
Zhou Shu"s eyes narrowed slightly. If w.a.n.g E led the 100,000 heavenly soldiers under him into the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom…
Zhou Shu quickly calculated the possibility of victory. Although w.a.n.g E and his 100,000 heavenly soldiers were strong, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was not to be trifled with.
Even if they could win, it would definitely be a tragic victory. Who knew how many of these 100,000 heavenly soldiers would survive in the end?
Moreover, this was without the Xuan Ming Black Emperor making a move.
If the Black Emperor made a move, w.a.n.g E and his army would probably be completely wiped out.
Zhou Shu had seen w.a.n.g E fight earlier. Although w.a.n.g E was strong, he was only about the same level as Zhan Jingtao. If he encountered the Black Emperor, he probably wouldn"t be his match.
It was unknown if this was his true strength or if his cultivation had fallen because he had slept underground for so many years.
"General w.a.n.g E, calm down," Zhou Shu said solemnly. "We have to deal with the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, but our enemies might not only be the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
"If we want revenge, we can"t be anxious. We can"t let any of our enemies off, don"t you think?"
w.a.n.g E was stunned for a moment before nodding slightly.
Zhou Shu continued, "After we investigate who harmed the Heavenly Court back then, we"ll find them one by one. Only then can we take complete revenge."
Zhou Shu could only go along with w.a.n.g E. After all, these 100,000 heavenly soldiers were now the protective talisman of the human race.
Zhou Shu couldn"t let w.a.n.g E and his army rush into the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom to die now.
They played a ma.s.sive role. How could they die now?
"You have a point." w.a.n.g E nodded. "I"ve waited for so many years. I don"t mind waiting a little longer."
Zhou Shu looked at w.a.n.g E and asked, "Do you have any clues about the culprits back then?""
w.a.n.g E shook his head.
Zhou Shu sighed in his heart. w.a.n.g E looks quite smart, but it turns out that he"s a fool.
Did he really just listen to Marshal Tianpeng and wait underground? After so many years, didn"t he know to investigate?
But then again, it was likely a good thing that he didn"t investigate. Otherwise, he and the 100,000 heavenly soldiers might not have survived until today.
If they didn"t live to this day, the human race would have really been dead meat.
Zhou Shu said seriously, "General w.a.n.g E, I will investigate the matter of the Heavenly Court. Your mission now is to guard this place well and not let the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom destroy the ancestral land."
He couldn"t be bothered to ask w.a.n.g E anything else. He couldn"t get anything out of him.
But he could be at ease with w.a.n.g E for the time being. With w.a.n.g E"s personality, he wouldn"t beat around the bush. If he had any ill intentions toward the human race, he probably wouldn"t endure it even for a moment.
"Okay," w.a.n.g E said. "With the one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers of my Jade Pivot Fire Palace here, no one can take half a step into this world!"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a figure slowly walking over from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. It was Wu Gang.
"Wu Gang?!" w.a.n.g E was stunned.
"General w.a.n.g, long time no see." Wu Gang"s expression was indifferent as he cupped his hands at w.a.n.g E.
"You"re still alive?" Confusion flashed across w.a.n.g E"s eyes. "Why are you still alive?"
"Yes, why am I still alive?" Wu Gang let out a long sigh. "I should have died."
He shook his head, as if he was lost in his memories, his eyes clouding.
He walked forward step by step, ignoring Zhou Shu and w.a.n.g E and brushing past the two of them.
Zhou Shu frowned. Wu Gang seemed to have become the monster who had lost his consciousness in the Glacial Palace again. Was it just because w.a.n.g E asked him why he was still alive?
w.a.n.g E was also puzzled. "Wu Gang, what happened back then? Who destroyed the Heavenly Court?!"
"Ahhhh!" Wu Gang hugged his head and shouted. His figure was like lightning as he instantly disappeared into the horizon. He was so fast that even Zhou Shu and w.a.n.g E couldn"t stop him in time.
Zhou Shu sighed and turned to ask w.a.n.g E, "General w.a.n.g E, do you know him?"
"Of course I do." w.a.n.g E frowned. "Wu Gang is one of the thirty-six generals of the Heavenly Court. We were comrades back then."
"Mm?" Zhou Shu"s heart skipped a beat. Wu Gang and w.a.n.g E are both heavenly generals? Wu Gang can fight the Black Emperor, so why is w.a.n.g E so weak?
"General w.a.n.g E, are you also one of the thirty-six generals of the Heavenly Court?"
"That"s right."
"General w.a.n.g E, there"s something I don"t know if I should ask."
"Just ask."
"Who is stronger, you or Wu Gang?"
"We were probably on par back then." w.a.n.g E didn"t hide anything. "Now, he should be stronger than me. All these years, my cultivation has been dropping and hasn"t stopped for a day. My current strength is not even ten percent of what it was back then.
"But that might not be all. Wu Gang should be injured too. He might not be at his peak now as well."
w.a.n.g E walked forward while speaking. "Lord, I"m going to ask Wu Gang what happened back then! Why did he survive, but the others in the Heavenly Court didn"t?! I want to know who destroyed the Heavenly Court!"
w.a.n.g E sped up as he spoke.
"General w.a.n.g E…" Zhou Shu tried to stop w.a.n.g E, but w.a.n.g E"s temper flared up. His speed increased drastically, and he instantly disappeared into the horizon.
Although he said that his current strength was not even 10% of his peak, he was still a true Nomological realm expert. When he unleashed his full strength, he was extremely fast.
Although w.a.n.g E doesn"t have any ill intentions toward the human race, he"s still a disobedient and difficult person. Zhou Shu shook his head helplessly and followed.
