740 Capturing Zhou Shu, Hero or Traitor (1)

Zhou Shu didn’t stay in Great Qin’s capital for long. After leaving the palace, he returned to the front line.

With him was naturally the Qin emperor.

Seeing the bronze chariots that stretched for hundreds of kilometers under the torn section of the barrier between the two worlds, the Qin emperor revealed a look of shock.

“Those are just people casually sent out by the Sima Grotto-Heaven and the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven,” Zhou Shu said emotionally.

It had to be said that without the power of the grotto-heavens, it would be impossible for the human race to withstand the invasion of the Demon Realm.

Just the two armies sent by the Sima Grotto-Heaven and the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had already exceeded the strength of the Ten Nations.

But such strength was far inferior to the Demon Realm army. Without them, the Ten Nations would be unable to resist at all.

“How many grotto-heavens are there in this world?” the Qin emperor murmured.

“Of the human grotto-heavens, I know of sixteen,” Zhou Shu said with his hands behind his back.

The 20,000-strong army of the Sima Grotto-Heaven and Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had set up a defense line at the gap between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent. Although the Ten Nations Alliance and Great Qin’s elite soldiers had retreated, they had also set up camp thirty kilometers away.

Resisting the invasion of the Demon Realm was not a matter of one group, let alone on Great Qin’s territory.

“Sixteen…” Although the Qin emperor had obtained some information before, it was only now that he truly understood what Zhou Shu had said.

The strength of the Ten Nations was not on the same level as the grotto-heavens’ at all.

If the grotto-heavens wanted to annex the Ten Nations, it would be a piece of cake. The Ten Nations wouldn’t even have a chance to resist.

If he, the Qin emperor, didn’t make preparations in advance, would he have to watch helplessly as Great Qin became a vassal of the grotto-heavens?

But was he really qualified to negotiate with the grotto-heavens?

The Qin emperor himself was no longer confident. Just the 20,000 people sent by the grotto-heavens were enough to sweep through Great Qin. What right did Great Qin have to negotiate with them?

“Do you feel a little desperate?” Zhou Shu turned to look at the Qin emperor.

The Qin emperor was silent.

Zhou Shu said, “Actually, without these grotto-heavens, you would have been even more desperate.

“The grotto-heaven may or may not be our enemy, but the Demon Realm is our true enemy.

Zhou Shu continued, “If not for these grotto-heavens, with the strength of the Ten Nations, they wouldn’t be a match for the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm at all. At that time, it would be true despair. The demonic beasts wouldn’t show mercy to the human race.

“No matter what, the people of the grotto-heavens are still humans. As long as they can resist the demonic beasts now, at worst, it will be a change of dynasties…”

The Qin emperor rolled his eyes inwardly. A change of dynasties? You make it sound so easy!

You’re not the one who’s going to suffer!

But it was true that changing dynasties didn’t affect Zhou Shu much. Only he, the emperor, was the most affected.

The Qin emperor pondered and said, “You’re right. With their strength, if they wanted to change dynasties, they could have done it long ago. Since they haven’t done it so far, it means that there’s still room for negotiation.”

As the Qin emperor spoke, he walked toward the defense line of the bronze chariots.

He came here to come into contact with people of the grotto-heavens.

Although the grotto-heavens had appeared, neither the Qin emperor nor Zhou Shu knew where they were.

This was the only place they could come into contact with people of the grotto-heavens.

This was why Zhou Shu had brought the Qin emperor here.

The reason Zhou Shu was tricking the Qin emperor into negotiating with the people of the grotto-heavens was actually to test the waters.

What Tang Qianluo said made Zhou Shu feel a little uneasy.

He would let the Qin emperor figure out the details of the grotto-heavens first so that he could decide what to do next.

The Qin emperor walked into the camp of the Sima Grotto-Heaven and the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Before he returned, Zhou Shu saw a figure walk out of the camp.

This person didn’t seem to be fast, but with every step he took, he covered several kilometers. In a few steps, he had already arrived at the human camp thirty kilometers away.

Zhou Shu’s pupils constricted slightly. This person was an expert at the Grotto-Heaven realm!

Previously, Zhou Shu already knew that Zheng Yongtai and Tang Tang were in charge of the defense of the Sima Grotto-Heaven and the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven here. When did this Grotto-Heaven expert come?

He had a bad feeling.

The Qin emperor had gone to the other party’s camp to negotiate and had yet to return. What was this Grotto-Heaven expert doing here?

Before Zhou Shu could speak, the person had already arrived in front of him.

“You’re Zhou Shu?” The person’s attitude was a little arrogant. He sized up Zhou Shu.

“That’s me. Who are you?” Zhou Shu had a personality. If someone respected him, he would also respect them. If someone treated him impolitely, he definitely wouldn’t hesitate to treat them the same way.

“Tang Qi.” The person spat out two words. “Follow me.”

“Follow you?” Zhou Shu frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Hmph.” Tang Qi snorted. “Because of you, the Demon Kings of the Demon Realm woke early, causing the barrier between the two worlds to be damaged in advance. The human race is in danger. I was ordered to capture you.

“You’ll get a chance to explain. But for now, you just have to come with me.”

Tang Qi placed his hands behind his back with a proud expression. He didn’t consider Zhou Shu’s rejection at all.

“Are you joking?” Zhou Shu’s expression darkened.

The person with the surname Tang was most likely from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.

Not long ago, he had met the head of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, Tang Qianluo. At the time, Tang Qianluo hadn’t spoken to him like this.

Capture me?

Who gave the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven the right?

Is it because I didn’t sell the Divine Stone to Tang Qianluo that they’ve deliberately come to cause trouble?

But this method of causing trouble was really inventive.

“Who are you? Who gave you the order?” Zhou Shu said coldly. “Capture me?”
