Chapter 394: Do One Thing Under Cover of Another (1)

Zhou Shu’s greatest gain from entering the Emperor Wei Wu dream was still the secrets of Great Wei.

As for matters that happened between the imperial concubines and Emperor Wei Wu, Zhou Shu forced himself to forget about them after waking up.

When he read novels in his previous life, he often saw that top-notch killers had the habit of going to brothels to vent after killing people.

For Zhou Shu, he had hugged Yin Wuyou after entering the dream and returning to reality, which should be his way of venting.

“Is there something wrong with me?” Yin Wuyou found that Zhou Shu was staring at her, and she looked up and down her body with a red face.

“Grand Minister, have you ever heard a saying?” Zhou Shu’s lips curled up slightly into a smile.

“What saying?” Yin Wuyou was puzzled.

“A woman who looks down and doesn’t see her toes is a peerless beauty.” Zhou Shu smiled. “Grand Minister, you are a peerless beauty.”

Before she could say anything, he laughed and left.

Yin Wuyou was stunned for a long time before she realized what Zhou Shu meant. Her face was so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out. She hugged her knees and buried her face in them as she muttered softly, “Pervert!”

Zhou Shu left the house and found Meng Bai.

“Your Highness, you’re here.” Meng Bai greeted him with a slightly strange expression. Young people can really cause trouble. He only left the room after two days. This was only because their cultivation levels were high. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to withstand not eating or drinking for two days.

Then again, I wonder how His Majesty will think about this…

“Great General, I’ve already understood Great Wei’s plan.” Zhou Shu didn’t waste any time.

“Did Sun Gongping really deliberately join Great Wei to investigate their plans?” Meng Bai was surprised.

Meng Bai hadn’t seen the contents of the Cosmic Bangle that they had brought back previously. Now that Zhou Shu suddenly mentioned this, he naturally thought that Zhou Shu had learned of this information through the letter Sun Gongping had left.

Otherwise, he hadn’t been out of camp or seen anyone for the past two days. How could he find out?

“That’s right,” Zhou Shu said vaguely. Sun Gongping might indeed have planned this, but it was obvious that he couldn’t find anything yet.

If not for the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique, no matter how many spies they sent out, they might not have been able to discover Great Wei’s plan.

“Great Wei is doing one thing under the cover of another,” Zhou Shu said.

A look of confusion flashed across Meng Bai’s face. “Doing one thing under the cover of another?”

There were no Thirty-Six Stratagems in the Ten Nations, and Meng Bai had naturally never heard of this.

“It’s not important.” Zhou Shu couldn’t be bothered to explain too much. “It’s just that Great Wei is doing one thing in the open and another behind the scenes.

“Great General, the news of Great Wei’s annihilation was not only to deceive us but also to deceive the Demon Realm army!”

“Great Wei didn’t collude with the Demon Realm?” Meng Bai frowned.

“They did.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “It’s just that their goal of colluding is not to attack the other Nine Nations’ armies in this world.

“Great General, the Demon Realm army should have already arrived on the Ten Nations Continent.”

“What?” Meng Bai shot to his feet, looking shocked. “How is that possible?”

Meng Bai said in disbelief, “If the Demon Realm army wants to invade the Ten Nations Continent, don’t they have to pass through this world? This place is still intact. How can they invade the Ten Nations Continent?”

“You forgot about Great Wei,” Zhou Shu said. “Let’s put it this way. There’s a barrier between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations. This is the entrance and exit of the barrier, just like the city gate. It’s naturally faster to enter the city through the city gate, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other places to enter, such as over the city wall.

“If someone inside the city lowers a ladder to bring in those outside the city, they can do it without the walls.

“Great Wei played the role of a ladder.”

At this point, Zhou Shu sighed.

The only good news was that perhaps only a limited number of people could get through the ladder. The Nine Nations outside should be able to resist for a while.

“You’re saying that while the Demon Realm sent people to this world, they colluded with Great Wei and sent another army to attack the Ten Nations Continent?”

Meng Bai felt a chill run down his spine. The elite troops of the various countries had all come to participate in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. Although there were still troops outside, facing the Demon Realm army—

“That’s right.” Zhou Shu nodded.

“Why is Great Wei doing this?” Meng Bai seethed with anger and gritted his teeth.

“Simple. It’s because Emperor Wei Wu doesn’t want to die,” Zhou Shu said.

The emperors of the Ten Nations were all first-rank martial artists. However, their first-rank cultivation had all come with the help of the imperial cauldrons. They were considered fake first-rank martial artists.

Ordinary first-rank martial artists lived between three hundred and five hundred years, while emperors of various countries usually lived for a hundred years.

There were gains and losses.

Emperor Wei Wu was the oldest among the current emperors of the Ten Nations. He had been on the throne for sixty years.

Normally, he only had about ten years left to live.

He didn’t want to die, so he wanted to break through that limit.

Zhou Shu saw that Emperor Wei had been searching for a way to break through the first rank of the Martial Dao in the dream.

But in the history of the Ten Nations Continent, no one had ever broken through the first rank of the Martial Dao.

When martial artists reached the first rank, there was no path ahead.
