Will she recognize the place??Zhou Shu shook his head. Whether she recognized it or not, he had no intention of letting her participate.
This woman was mysterious and unpredictable. The bronze plate from the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain had been found in the rat demon’s nest, and this woman had told him about the rat demon’s nest.
Who knew if this woman did it on purpose?
It wasn’t that Zhou Shu was paranoid, but it was too much of a coincidence. He felt that there was a problem.
This was the Demon Realm. Every decision concerned the life and death of everyone. Zhou Shu had to be careful.
“I remember now!” Sun Gongping suddenly shouted, startling everyone.
“What do you remember?” Zhou Shu and the others all looked over.
“I’ve seen this pattern before.” Sun Gongping pointed at the patterns on the square bronze plate. “When I was appointed as the World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa, I stepped on a white jade floor.
“The lines on that floor back then were almost identical to this one.”
Sun Gongping said excitedly, “This token should be the identification of the World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa. Your Highness, where did you get it? Did the Heavenly Mountain Villa send someone to deliver it to me?”
Zhou Shu and the others rolled their eyes.
Sun Gongping thought too much!
How did it become that someone had sent it to him?
“No,” Zhou Shu said bluntly. “This token is the spoils of war that General Xiao Jianghe brought back. Its owner has already been gnawed by rat demons until only a pile of bones is left.”
Sun Gongping subconsciously shivered. When he looked at the square bronze plate again, his eyes were full of disdain.?That senior was too pathetic. He was actually gnawed into bones by rat demons.
“It seems that this Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain is really related to the Heavenly Mountain Villa.” Zhou Shu took the square bronze plate from Sun Gongping and examined the patterns on it. “For thousands of years, no one has ever known the location of the Heavenly Mountain Villa. Could it be that we accidentally found it?”
“It shouldn’t be, Your Highness,” Li Chengliang said blankly. “Why is the Heavenly Mountain Villa in the Demon Realm?”
To forgers, the Heavenly Mountain Villa was no different from a holy land. When he thought about how this place was not in the Ten Nations Continent but in the Demon Realm, Li Chengliang found it difficult to accept.
Could it be that the armament manuals they had always respected were actually done by demons from the Demon Realm?
It was hard to accept.
“It might not be in the Demon Realm.” Zhou Shu pondered. “Have you forgotten about the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space?”
The Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space was neither on the Ten Nations Continent nor in the Demon Realm. It was independent.
Li Chengliang and the others didn’t know that the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space had an alias, the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven, but it didn’t stop them from understanding what Zhou Shu meant.
“If this Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain is also an independent space similar to the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space, could this bronze plate be the proof of entry and exit?” Meng Bai’s eyes glittered. “If we can find it, can we return to the Ten Nations Continent from there?”
Although they had a place to stay in the Demon Realm for the time being, to them, the Ten Nations Continent was their home.
Everything they were doing now was so that they could one day return to the Ten Nations.
They had come to the Demon Realm from the Ten Nations Continent through the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space. If the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was like the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament space, didn’t that mean it could also lead to the Ten Nations Continent?
Everyone perked up and looked at Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu shook his head. “Whether it works that way or not, this is just our guess. We still need to verify it.
“Even if it’s true, it won’t be easy to find the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, not to mention whether we can get in or not. Everyone has seen this map, but we have no idea where it is.”
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng, and the others froze. That’s right. They didn’t know where the place indicated by the map was.
“Don’t be discouraged, everyone.” Zhou Shu smiled.
“We can’t let this matter affect our plan. Everyone, let’s follow what we have planned. Generals, aren’t you drawing a topographic map? We can expand this range bit by bit. Perhaps one day, the place we expand will overlap with this map.
“Won’t we be able to find this Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain by then?”
Everyone smiled bitterly. This was true, but who knew if the place indicated by this map was in the Demon Realm?
Even if it was in the Demon Realm, so what?
The Demon Realm was extremely vast, ten times larger than the Ten Nations Continent. It was impossible for them to figure out the terrain of the entire Demon Realm.
Most likely, they wouldn’t be able to find the place indicated on this map even if they lived here for a century or two.
But as Zhou Shu had said, the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was an unexpected gain to begin with, and they hadn’t counted on it to begin with. According to the original plan, it was only wise to play it safe.
“Have you all forgotten about me, the World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa? If you want to find the Heavenly Mountain Villa, ask me,” Sun Gongping suddenly said.
“Ask you? Do you know where it is?” Zhou Shu said angrily.
What World Wayfarer of the Heavenly Mountain Villa? It was just a name he used to amuse himself. He didn’t even meet a single person from the Heavenly Mountain Villa.
They had only asked him to deliver something. At best, he had acted as a messenger.
“I don’t know,” Sun Gongping said bluntly.
“Then, aren’t you talking nonsense?” Zhou Shu said in annoyance.
“Although I don’t know where the Heavenly Mountain Villa is, I can contact them,” Sun Gongping said.
Everyone was stunned, then their faces lit up.
“Why didn’t you say something as important as that earlier!” Meng Bai asked solemnly.
“You didn’t ask me,” Sun Gongping said innocently.
He was indeed a second-generation official in Great Xia, but Sun Gongping was really inconspicuous in the current Ten Nations Alliance.
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng, Tang Chengshi, Cao Chenyang, and even Zhang Wuyuan were all big shots who could cause an earthquake just by stomping their feet.
Even Li Chengliang, a Grand Craftsman, had a status that Sun Gongping couldn’t compare to.
Mi Ziwen, Wang Xin, and the others had been reduced to marginal figures, let alone Sun Gongping and Yang Hong, who were not even at the second rank.
No one paid too much attention to Sun Gongping. This was true. Even Zhou Shu didn’t know what Sun Gongping was busy with recently.
Zhou Shu looked at Sun Gongping and asked seriously, “Can you really get in touch with the people from the Heavenly Mountain Villa?”
He knew Sun Gongping well. He had always liked to exaggerate, and it was best to take his words with a pinch of salt.
He doubted Sun Gongping’s words.
“Hehe.” Sun Gongping chuckled. “Most likely.”
The moment he said this, everyone rolled their eyes. They were happy for nothing!
“Sun Gongping, this is no place for you to fool around!” Meng Bai berated him unhappily. He was old friends with Sun Gongping’s father and was also the teacher of Sun Gongping’s uncle, Mi Ziwen. Naturally, he had the status to reprimand him.
“I’m not fooling around.” Sun Gongping was not afraid. “As the saying goes, the smart have their own brilliant plans.
“Think about it. What does the Heavenly Mountain Villa do? They’re the ones who update the armament manuals.”
Sun Gongping continued, “There are so many weapons in the world. How do they know that every weapon exists? In my opinion, they must have some special method to monitor the existence of weapons. It’s just like how Great Xia has a heavenly imperial astronomer responsible for monitoring the weather.
“Since the Heavenly Mountain Villa can monitor all the weapons in the world, why can’t we contact them through weapons?”
