Chapter 434: King in Nine Nations, The Number One Person in the World (2)
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 Shu…
“Old Zhou, I’ve given up.” After Sun Gongping finished reading all the imperial decrees, he seemed to be talking to himself. “In any case, I can’t compare to someone as abnormal as you. There’s no point in competing.”
Zhou Shu was speechless. He looked at Sun Gongping and said, “Where did you get these things?”
Zhou Shu actually didn’t have many thoughts about being conferred the t.i.tle of king. Of course, he did feel a little refreshed now.
!!
Actually, to him, the t.i.tle 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 a.s.suming 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 t.i.tle of king, yet he still said that they were crazy. Did his conscience get eaten by a dog?
“It’s a long story.” Sun Gongping glanced at everyone. Clearly, he had no intention of explaining himself in public.
“All you need to know is that these imperial edicts are real.
“Old Zhou, King Zhou, you’re on a roll. I hadn’t been idle either. I’m a person of status now.”
Sun Gongping’s eyes flashed with self-satisfaction. No one knew what his ident.i.ty was, but it was obvious that he was very satisfied with his ident.i.ty and felt that he was not much weaker than Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu smiled, unconcerned.
He looked back at Bai Qiancheng and the others with a faint smile. “Is 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!”
Bai Qiancheng smiled bitterly in his heart. He had already secretly scolded Sun Gongping.
Why didn’t you come earlier? If you had come earlier, if I knew that King Zhou would become King Wu’an of Great Zhao, I wouldn’t have stepped out.
I would have known my place and kept quiet.
Now, I’ve lost face and have to submit to King Zhou.
How can I show my face now?
“Since His Majesty has issued the decree, I will naturally obey it.” Bai Qiancheng cupped his hands. “I, Bai Qiancheng of Great Zhao, obey the orders of King Wu’an.”
In the end, Bai Qiancheng couldn’t be as shameless as Zhang Wuyuan. This was already his limit.
If he did anymore, he would rather kill himself.
Zhou Shu didn’t mind. He didn’t care about these people’s att.i.tudes at all. Was it important who Bai Qiancheng was?
As long as these people were obedient and didn’t cause him trouble, it was enough.
“We will obey the orders of King Wei Lie (King Jiu Jiang, King Ping Bei…).” Everyone spoke in unison.
Zhou Shu nodded in satisfaction. “Since no one had any objections, prepare according to the plan.”
“Great General Meng, General w.a.n.g, you are in charge of overall planning,” Zhou Shu instructed bluntly. “Within two months, dig as many ores as you can for me. Those who have Cosmic Bangles, fill them up. Those who don’t, carry as many as you can.”
Meng Bai: “…”
w.a.n.g Mu: “…”
Your Highness, are you serious? We’re not going to the Demon Realm for sightseeing. It’s 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?
“Your Highness, it’s fine to fill the Cosmic Bangles, but it’s—” Meng Bai hesitated.
“Just do as you’re told. I have my own plans,” 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, “Great 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?”
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 pa.s.sageway 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.
“Didn’t I just say? We’re people of status now,” Sun Gongping said proudly. “Old Zhou, although you’re the king of nine nations, we’re brothers. I am definitely worthy of being your brother.”
“Cut the c.r.a.p.” Zhou Shu couldn’t help rolling his eyes. “I’m your uncle!”
Sun Gongping’s face darkened. “What uncle?! I’m now the World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa. Be more respectful, or else…”
Sun Gongping snorted.
“The World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.
“That’s right. That’s me,” Sun Gongping said. “The 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.”
“Go away,” Zhou Shu said angrily. “I don’t care what you are. Even if you’re an emperor, you have to call me uncle!
“Tell me quickly. How did you get back? Is there any way you can get everyone back to the Ten Nations?”
“No!” Sun Gongping’s 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.
“Didn’t I say? I’m now the World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa. The Heavenly Mountain Villa sent me back,” Sun Gongping said. “I don’t know exactly how I came back. I came back with a whoosh.
“And those imperial edicts were given to me by the Heavenly Mountain Villa.”
“The Heavenly Mountain Villa?” Zhou Shu frowned slightly. “Don’t they always stay out of worldly affairs? Why are they doing this now?”
“How would I know? I haven’t even seen them.” Sun Gongping shrugged, “When that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Emperor Wei Wu threw me into the Demon Realm, I thought I was dead meat.
“Who knew that when I opened my eyes, I realized that I wasn’t in the Demon Realm. I was in a place filled with white light.
“Then someone told me that I had been chosen as the World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa and handed these imperial edicts to me.
“From beginning to end, all I heard was voices. I didn’t even know if the person was a man or a woman.”
“In other words, your t.i.tle as a World Wayfarer is useless?” Zhou Shu said.
“What the f— Who says I’m useless?” Sun Gongping straightened his neck. “Do you know why the Nine Nations rushed to make you king?
“I 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!
“The Ten Nations are facing extinction. They’re treating you like a savior.”
“That’s it?” Zhou Shu said. “I know already about this, and I’ve already killed Emperor Wei Wu. The question is, who gave them the confidence to treat me as their savior?”
“You killed Emperor Wei Wu?” Sun Gongping was shocked for a moment before continuing, “Of course it’s 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 you’re their savior.
“I don’t know how the Heavenly Mountain Villa obtained these imperial decrees.
“But that’s not important. Anyway, you’re the king of the Nine Nations now. This is the truth.
“Old Zhou, it won’t be easy to be these kings.”
“Is there a difference?” Zhou Shu asked. “Do you think t.i.tles can do anything to me? They’re thinking too much.
“It won’t make any difference what I have to do with or without these king t.i.tles,” Zhou Shu said in a low voice. “I’ll still do what I have to do. I won’t get myself involved just because of the king t.i.tles.
“Would you sacrifice your life for the Heavenly Mountain Villa just because of your ident.i.ty as the World Wayfarer?”
Zhou Shu curled his lips in disdain. “The Heavenly Mountain Villa is so petty. They’ve already interfered, but they’re still so stingy. If the Ten Nations Continent is occupied by the Demon Realm, will they have an easy time?
“Even without them, can’t we break through? It’s just the Demon Realm. Let’s take a look and see who can stop me!”
Zhou Shu stood tall and faced the direction of the pa.s.sageway between Zhuling Grotto-Heaven and the Demon Realm, his battle intent soaring.
