1396 The Heavenly Soldiers of the Ancient Heavenly Court (2)
Helping him once was Wu Gang’s repayment to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu didn’t mind. As long as Wu Gang stayed in the ancestral land, even if he didn’t take action once, it would still be a deterrent.
After Zhan Jingtao suffered once and knew that Wu Gang was here, he probably wouldn’t act rashly.
On the other hand, the heavenly soldiers that Wu Gang mentioned…
Ten thousand years ago, this world had almost been destroyed. At that time, the heavenly soldiers of the Ancient Heavenly Court didn’t appear.
Zhou Shu pondered. The Ancient Heavenly Court should have existed before the existence of the ancient races.
If a group of Heavenly Court’s heavenly soldiers really survived, why did they watch helplessly when the ancient races were destroyed?
If this ancestral land is devoured by the Black Emperor, won’t it affect them?
Moreover, if an army has always existed, it’s impossible for there to be no traces at all. But in all these years, I have never heard any news about their existence.
Zhou Shu frowned in thought. But there’s no need for Wu Gang to lie to me.Wu Gang is definitely from the Ancient Heavenly Court. Since he said so, there must be such a group of heavenly soldiers. He doesn’t gain anything from lying about such things.
If there’s really a group of heavenly soldiers in the ancestral land, where are they?
Zhou Shu frowned. Even if it’s an army of thousands, they still have to eat and drink.
The heavenly soldiers of the Ancient Heavenly Court may be very strong, but even if they don’t eat or drink, there can’t be no movements at all when they cultivate.
Zhou Shu looked up into the distance.
The world of the ancestral land was still very large. The range of human activity didn’t cover the entire world.
Even with demonic beasts, there were still many deserted mountains in this world.
If an army focused on hiding, it might be able to do it.
The world is so big. Even if there’s really such a group of heavenly soldiers, where can I find them? Zhou Shu thought. If there’s really a heavenly army of the Ancient Heavenly Court, then as Wu Gang said, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom would no longer be able to threaten the human race.
“Your Highness!”
Just as Zhou Shu was deep in thought, a figure suddenly sped over.
“Zhang San?” Zhou Shu saw that it was Zhang San.
Seeing Zhou Shu, Zhang San heaved a sigh of relief. “Your Highness, you’re finally back.”
“What happened?” Zhou Shu asked. He saw the human army in the distance. During the time he was away, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom shouldn’t have had the time to attack.
“Your Highness, it’s the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom!” Zhang San said solemnly. “The Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom suddenly sent an army of sixty thousand. We don’t know what’s going on. Everyone is very nervous and doesn’t dare to let the sixty-thousand-strong army come out of the grotto-heaven.”
The 60,000-strong army of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom could sweep through the human race.
Without Zhou Shu around, no one dared to make this decision.
“Sixty thousand soldiers?” Zhou Shu frowned. That bastard Mu Zhixing actually kept his promise? He really sent an army of sixty thousand?
“Where are they?” Zhou Shu asked solemnly.
“They were brought over by someone from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom with a grotto-heaven divine weapon. That person is currently in the military camp. Great General Meng is watching him personally,” Zhang San answered.
“Take me there,” Zhou Shu said.
He and Zhang San turned into two rays of light and landed in the camp of the human army.
The commander of the 10,000 Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom mercenaries, Lin Kedi, was also here. Meng Bai, Xiao Jianghe, Wang Xin, and the others were all staring at someone solemnly.
This person had a calm expression. When he saw Zhou Shu appear, he cupped his hands slightly. “Mu Letian of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom greets King Zhou.
“I am under the orders of Lord Green Emperor to bring a sixty-thousand-strong army of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom and listen to your orders.”
The person seemed to know Zhou Shu.
“You know me?” Zhou Shu said in surprise.
“I’ve seen your image, King Zhou.” Mu Letian nodded. “Lord Green Emperor has ordered that this sixty-thousand-strong army must be personally handed over to you, King Zhou.”
With a flip of his wrist, a pagoda-shaped dharma treasure appeared in his hand.
“King Zhou, I’ve already brought them here. May I ask where they’re stationed?” Mu Letian asked.
“Your Highness!” Meng Bai and the others exclaimed.
An army of 60,000 was no small force.
If they couldn’t be controlled, it would bring a calamity to the human race.
Even Lin Kedi was a little surprised. Could Zhou Shu have hired another sixty thousand people from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom?
Where did he get so much money?
One had to know that Zhou Shu had already paid an unbelievable price to hire 10,000 of them.
Sixty thousand people… Lin Kedi didn’t even dare to imagine.
According to the price Zhou Shu spent to hire them, even if the ancestral land used all their strength, they wouldn’t be able to afford 60,000 people.
Could the remnants of the Heavenly Court in the ancestral land really be so rich? Lin Kedi actually had some doubts.
He wasn’t a fool. After coming to the ancestral land for so long and fighting alongside the human race, he had seen with his own eyes that only a small number of human martial artists had connate divine weapons.
If the human race was really that rich, why didn’t they each have a connate divine weapon?
But Lin Kedi couldn’t figure out how Zhou Shu had gotten the Green Emperor to send another 60,000 soldiers over.
Lin Kedi had asked Mu Letian this question, but Mu Letian didn’t have an answer either.
