“You said the place Yin Yuzhu brought you to was the ruins of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?” Zhou Shu frowned slightly.
Mi Ziwen’s deputy general nodded solemnly. “She said so herself, Your Highness. We dug up thousands of weapons from that mountain. And hundreds of our brothers mysteriously disappeared.
“So the general sent me back to report to you on how we should proceed.”
“Where is the Hundred Wars Armored Army now?” Zhou Shu asked in a low voice.
“The general and my brothers are still in that place,” the deputy general said. “Miss Yin said that if we completely dig up the mountain, we might be able to save our missing brothers, so the general is still there with everyone.”
!!
” Yin Yuzhu said that we would be able to save the soldiers by digging up the entire mountain?” Zhou Shu snorted. “Is my big brother so muddle-headed? How can he believe what that woman says?”
Zhou Shu sighed and shook his head. But he could understand Mi Ziwen’s thoughts.
The Hundred Wars Armored Army was his soldiers. Each of them had fought together with him on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield. Even though he knew that there was only a glimmer of hope, he would definitely try his best to save them.
The fact that Mi Ziwen could send someone back to find him meant that at least he hadn’t lost his mind.
“I understand.” Zhou Shu pondered for a moment and nodded. “Take a rest first. Please lead the way later. I’ll go there and take a look.”
Zhou Shu understood why Mi Ziwen had sent someone back to find him.
If that place really was the ruins of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, the situation was clear.
From the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain bronze plate at the beginning to the map later to hiring the Hundred Wars Armored Army to dig up the mountain, Yin Yuzhu’s ultimate goal was to reach the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.
There was a high chance that there was a secret hidden in that mountain. This secret should be Yin Yuzhu’s ultimate goal.
But he didn’t know why she took such a big detour. Logically speaking, with her cultivation, it wasn’t too difficult for her to dig up a mountain. She didn’t need anyone’s help.
That was unless there was some special reason she couldn’t do it herself.
Or rather, there was danger in that mountain, and she needed people to be her cannon fodder!
A cold glint flashed in Zhou Shu’s eyes. If Yin Yuzhu really treated the armored soldiers as cannon fodder, then she should die!
Four hours later, Zhou Shu descended from the sky with the deputy general.
Mi Ziwen and Lu Wenshuang were overjoyed to see Zhou Shu. Only Yin Yuzhu curled her lips and rolled her eyes at him.
“Second Brother!” Mi Ziwen greeted him softly.
He looked a little embarra.s.sed. After all, he, Mi Ziwen, was also someone of status. Not only did he lose more than half his men carrying out this small mission, but he also had to return halfway to ask for help.
Although the person he was asking for help was his brother, it was still quite embarra.s.sing.
Fortunately, the things his second brother did were often shocking. It was nothing to lose face in front of him.
After all, who could guarantee that they would never lose face in front of him?
“Big Brother, how’s it going?” Zhou Shu didn’t think too much about it.
“We’re still digging.” Mi Ziwen pointed to the three to four hundred-meter-tall mountain in front of him. “We’ve dug up many weapons in the mountains. Other than that, there’s nothing unusual.
“It was also during the digging that hundreds of armored soldiers suddenly disappeared without warning. After that, nothing unusual happened here.”
Mi Ziwen described the situation to Zhou Shu. After it happened, he had repeatedly thought about it and checked his surroundings.
But so far, he’d found nothing.
Zhou Shu nodded. His gaze swept across the mountain and landed on Yin Yuzhu.
“Why are you looking at me?” Yin Yuzhu said angrily. “This has nothing to do with me. We agreed that I would pay your soldiers to dig. I only promised that I wouldn’t let them fight the Demon Realm army to the death. I didn’t promise anything else.
“I don’t know what happened either. They disappeared while digging up the mountain.”
Zhou Shu snorted and couldn’t be bothered to argue with her.
“Yin Yuzhu, let me ask you. What’s your relationship with the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?” Zhou Shu said coldly. “You’d better not test my patience, or else the consequences will be dire.”
Yin Yuzhu rolled her eyes at him. “What? Do you want to kill me? Other than threatening others, what else can you do?
“My father, who was your founding emperor, was a legacy disciple of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.”
Yin Yuzhu’s straightforwardness surprised Zhou Shu.
She was so straightforward that Zhou Shu didn’t know if he should believe her.
Of course, Zhou Shu had never believed her.
“You said Emperor Xuan is a descendant of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain?” Zhou Shu frowned.
“Don’t you cultivate the Emperor Xuan Jade Book? The Emperor Xuan Jade Book is a cultivation technique of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain,” Yin Yuzhu said. “Come to think of it, you can be considered the successor of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.
“In the days when the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was still around, this ident.i.ty would have been enough for you to run amok without any scruples. But now, it’s useless.”
Yin Yuzhu cursed without any royal demeanor.
“Alright, I’ll believe you for now,” Zhou Shu said solemnly. “Then, tell me now. Where is this place? What are you looking for?!”
