677 Don’t Want to Be a Deserter, Secret Mission (2)

After a while, Zhou Shu lay on the bed with a satisfied expression while Lu Wenshuang lay weakly in his arms.

“Little Lu, return to the Ten Nations Continent with Xiaoyu’er tomorrow morning,” Zhou Shu suddenly said,

“Ah!” Lu Wenshuang exclaimed. “We can return to the Ten Nations Continent?”

“Yes, Xiaoyu’er’s cultivation has increased again, and her grotto-heaven can hide people now,” Zhou Shu said. “You all will enter Xiaoyu’er’s grotto-heaven, and she’ll bring you back…”

“Us? Master, aren’t you going back?” Lu Wenshuang frowned.

“Xiaoyu’er’s grotto-heaven can’t hold too many people, so we can only send three hundred people back this time,” Zhou Shu said.

“Then I won’t leave.” Lu Wenshuang shook her head. “My cultivation has already broken through to the Earth Immortal realm. I can help you if I stay here.”

Her attitude was firm. No matter what Zhou Shu said, she would never agree to leave.

He didn’t insist. Instead, he changed the topic.

“Whether you go back or not, there’s something that has to be put on the agenda.” Zhou Shu ran his hands along Lu Wenshuang’s smooth back, feeling her beautiful curves.

“You’re an Earth Immortal now. The original Abyss Rainbow Sword is no longer worthy of you.

“I gave the Connate Abyss Rainbow Sword to my big brother. It’s not that I deliberately neglected you, but the Abyss Rainbow Sword actually doesn’t match you.”

Zhou Shu smiled. “I’ve prepared another divine sword for you.”

“What divine sword?” A smile appeared on Lu Wenshuang’s face. The grudge in her heart completely disappeared, leaving only sweetness.

Zhou Shu said softly, “Divine Weapon Heavens Cry!”

…

At sunrise, in the camp of the Ten Nations Alliance on Two Region Mountain, 30,000 people lined up neatly, but they didn’t make a sound.

After experiencing the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament and several battles in the Demon Realm, each of these 30,000 people had already toughened up and become out-and-out elite soldiers.

Seeing Zhou Shu and Lu Wenshuang walk over hand in hand like a perfect couple, everyone cast respectful gazes.

Zhou Shu had already become a symbol of the Ten Nations Alliance.

Although he didn’t lead troops most of the time, to everyone, he was the commander of the Ten Nations Alliance.

To them, Zhou Shu was the true spiritual leader.

“Your Highness!” 30,000 people shouted in unison.

Zhou Shu nodded slightly and looked at Meng Bai and the others.

Meng Bai nodded with a serious expression. He took a step forward and raised his voice. “Those who drew a lot, step forward!”

Three hundred people stepped out of the army.

The expressions of the remaining people didn’t change. To be able to survive until now, none of them were afraid of death.

Although it was good to return to the Ten Nations Continent, it wasn’t bad to stay here and fight alongside His Highness.

“The generals should have told you what happened. I won’t waste my breath. Let’s go,” Zhou Shu said.

“Wait!” a voice suddenly shouted. “Can I give up my spot? I don’t want to leave!”

Zhou Shu looked over and found that it was Sun Gongping.

“I want to stay in the Demon Realm and fight demonic beasts. I don’t want to return to the Ten Nations Continent.” Sun Gongping looked at Zhou Shu. “With my strength, it would be a waste to go back!”

“Nonsense!” Meng Bai berated. “Military orders are absolute. How can it be child’s play?!”

Zhou Shu was somewhat speechless. Your strength is almost at the bottom of the Ten Nations Alliance.

He ignored Sun Gongping and looked at the army. “Who wants to go back?”

There was complete silence. No one spoke.

“Who else wants to stay?” Zhou Shu’s gaze turned to the three hundred people who had drawn the lots.

“Me!”

“Me!”

The three hundred people took a step forward in unison and fought to shout.

They all wanted to stay.

“None of you want to return to the Ten Nations Continent?” Zhou Shu looked at everyone and frowned.

“Your Highness, we definitely want to go back, but we don’t want to go back like this!” a soldier said. “Your Highness, from the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament to the Demon Realm, we have never retreated. Now, we don’t want to leave either!

“We want to stay and fight with everyone. If we want to leave, we hope that we can return with everyone with dignity!

“If we go back now, we’ll feel like deserters.”

The three hundred people all had the same expression on their faces.

Their reaction surprised Zhou Shu.

He had originally thought that these three hundred spots would cause some fighting. But in the end, everyone was fighting to stay.

“Great General Meng, what do you think?” Zhou Shu turned to Meng Bai and the others.

“Your Highness, let me say something.” The person who spoke was the most experienced person present, Cao Chenyang. He was also a king of Great Liang.

“For the Ten Nations, three hundred people is neither too many nor too little. But to our army behind enemy lines, three hundred people might sometimes be able to change the situation.

“Rather than letting them return to the Ten Nations, we might as well let them stay.”

“Is that what you all think?” Zhou Shu looked at Meng Bai and the others.

Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng, and the others were silent for a moment before nodding.

Sending 300 people back to the Ten Nations Continent was meaningless to them.

If they were completely wiped out, even if these 300 people survived, one day, the barrier between the two worlds would shatter, and the Ten Nations Continent could still be overthrown.

When the nest was upset, no egg would be left intact. Sending 300 people back to the Ten Nations Continent was a strategic waste.

“Do you really think I’m asking you to return to give you a chance to live?” Zhou Shu looked at Sun Gongping and the others.

“Isn’t it?” Sun Gongping didn’t stand on ceremony with Zhou Shu.

“Of course not.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “You’re all elite soldiers. Wouldn’t it be a waste to let you retire?

“I’m sending you back to the Ten Nations at this time because I have an important mission for you.

“This mission is not safer than staying in the Demon Realm. It might be even more dangerous.

“If you’re afraid, you can return to your original team now.”

With that, Zhou Shu placed his hands behind his back and looked at everyone.

Sun Gongping and the other 299 people looked at each other, but none of them moved.

What else could they say?

“Old Zhou, can’t you just say what mission you have? Do you know how uncomfortable it is to keep us in suspense?” Sun Gongping couldn’t help saying.

“This mission is top secret. I can’t tell you yet.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “When you return to the Ten Nations, someone will naturally inform you of the mission.

“Now, Xiaoyu’er!”

Xiaoyu’er agreed crisply as Lu Wenshuang held her hand. She took a step forward and put the three hundred people into her grotto-heaven.

“I’m leaving then…” Lu Wenshuang whispered, looking at Zhou Shu reluctantly.

“Go on.” Zhou Shu nodded. “Remember, your own safety is the most important thing. You should fail the mission rather than take risks. Your safety is the most important thing to me, understand?”

“Understood.” Lu Wenshuang gave Zhou Shu a smile. After hesitating for a moment, she took a step forward and hugged him. Then under everyone’s surprised gazes, she returned to Xiaoyu’er’s side.

Xiaoyu’er’s body flashed as she stored Lu Wenshuang in her grotto-heaven.
