In the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch, Yang Hong, whom everyone had just talked about, was looking at Zhou Shu and the rest awkwardly.
After returning to the camp, Zhou Shu immediately gathered Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng, and the others.
He still had to hurry back to Hu Li, so he didn’t have time to waste and started to deal with the problem right away.
After a round of investigation, they discovered that the person who matched the description of the person Yao Aotian followed was Yang Hong!
In other words, Yang Hong was the one who had brought Yao Aotian back to the camp and let him discover them.
“Your Highness, I didn’t mean to,” Yang Hong said weakly.
“I know you didn’t mean it.” Zhou Shu waved his hand. “But this matter also gives us a reminder.
“Generals, you must be more careful when you enter and leave the camp in the future.
“This is the Demon Realm. If our whereabouts are exposed, it will be a disaster.
“Thankfully, Yao Aotian told me this time. Next time, we may not be so lucky.”
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, and the others nodded with solemn expressions.
Actually, they were already very careful. But this was the Demon Realm after all. No one could guarantee that there wouldn’t be any problems.
“By the way, Your Highness, when we went to look for Ji Lutian, he gave us something,” Cao Chenyang suddenly said.
“You went to find Ji Lutian?” Zhou Shu was stunned.?No wonder Ji Lutian sent a hundred and eight demonic beasts to help me.
He didn’t care about this but asked, “What did he give you?”
“A Divine Stone.” Cao Chenyang took out a colorful crystal stone and handed it to Zhou Shu.
“Divine Stone?” Zhou Shu took it. He had heard this name in his previous life, but this was the first time he had heard it in this life.
The colorful stone was warm to the touch, like jade. It was crystal clear and very exquisite, making one feel reluctant to part with it.
“Did he say what this Divine Stone was for?” Zhou Shu asked casually.
“No.” Cao Chenyang shook his head. “After we brought it back, we asked Deputy Pavilion Master Shi and the others to identify it. They don’t know what this Divine Stone is.
“We were wondering how to contact you, Your Highness. But you came back just in time.”
“Leave this Divine Stone with me for now. I’ll study it when I have time later,” Zhou Shu said. There was no information about the Divine Stone among the materials he had mastered.
He casually put the Divine Stone into his Cosmic Bangle and didn’t think too much about it for the time being. It wasn’t appropriate for him to stay here for too long. If he left Hu Li for too long, it would easily arouse the suspicion of the demonic beasts.
“I need someone to pretend to be Yao Aotian.” Zhou Shu’s gaze swept across everyone.
After a round of discussion, the final candidate fell on the former Demon Executing Army lieutenant, Yin Chengshan.
Yin Chengshan was an old acquaintance of Zhou Shu. When he was in the Ten Nations Continent, he was a lieutenant of the Demon Executing Army. He had dealt with demonic beasts for many years and was relatively familiar with them.
The only downside was that his cultivation was a little weak.
Ever since the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament began, everyone who could survive had basically made great progress in their cultivation.
Yin Chengshan was no exception. He was already a fourth-rank martial artist. On the Ten Nations Continent, he was worthy of being praised as young and promising.
But a fourth-rank martial artist was definitely not considered outstanding among the current Ten Nations Alliance.
If not for the fact that he had known Zhou Shu for a long time, Yin Chengshan wouldn’t have been qualified to enter Zhou Shu’s line of sight with his current cultivation.
The few people who acted as scouts outside the cave had higher cultivation levels than Yin Chengshan.
Sometimes, human circumstances were like this. Because they had met Zhou Shu earlier, Yin Chengshan, Yang Hong, Chen Ji, and the others’ lives had been changed directly.
It was the same now. Although pretending to be Yao Aotian was very dangerous, it was definitely an opportunity.
If not for his friendship with Zhou Shu, Yin Chengshan would have never gotten this opportunity.
“Your Highness.” Yin Chengshan looked at Zhou Shu gratefully.
Zhou Shu waved his hand. “Don’t get all excited. I’ll say this first. It is quite risky. First of all, you have to survive the first round.
“I will use my divine ability to let you experience what Yao Aotian has experienced in the past fifty years in your dream. You must guard your clarity and not lose yourself. If you lose your mind, then I’m sorry, but I will personally send you on your way. It’s not too late back out now.”
Although Yin Chengshan was a little confused, he still said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, Your Highness. Yin Chengshan will definitely not let you down and will complete the mission with his life!”
Zhou Shu nodded and didn’t waste any time. He raised his head and pointed between Yin Chengshan’s eyebrows.
Buzz—
A dense white light enveloped Yin Chengshan.
Four hours later, Zhou Shu left the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch.
With him was ‘Yao Aotian’!
At this moment, if any demonic beast saw Yao Aotian, they would definitely not find anything wrong with his appearance and aura. But his eyes were confused, as if he had not woken up.
After entering the dream for 50 years and waking up, Yin Chengshan was completely stunned.
Until now, he wasn’t fully awake.
It had to be said that the difference between people was sometimes greater than between humans and monkeys.
Zhou Shu had used the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique on himself and Lu Wenshuang before.
Although they were both affected to a certain extent, they quickly woke up.
It was much worse for Yin Chengshan.
If he hadn’t remembered that he was Yin Chengshan, Zhou Shu would have suspected that he had completely lost himself in the dream. That way, he might really have thought that he was Yao Aotian.
If that really happened, Zhou Shu would have no choice but to be ruthless…
But from the looks of it, Yin Chengshan should be able to make it through. It was just that he would need some time to recover.
Not long after Zhou Shu and Yin Chengshan left, Meng Bai sized up the young man in front of him. Just as the young man felt a little uncomfortable, he finally spoke. “Your name is Zhang San?”
“Yes,” the young man said. “When I was a child, my family was poor and my parents couldn’t read, so they were a little hasty in choosing my name.”
He was nervous. He didn’t know why Great General Meng had summoned him so suddenly. He had a vague feeling that it had something to do with his encounter with the king. He just didn’t know if it was good or bad.
“You came from a poor family. It’s already very impressive that you have your current cultivation.” Meng Bai nodded. Zhang San was a third-rank martial artist. It was unbelievable that he came from a poor family.
Meng Bai sighed in his heart.?His Highness is indeed his Highness.?He hadn’t discovered this talent in the Ten Nations Alliance, but the king had casually discovered him.
“I must thank His Highness for his nurturing,” Zhang San said gratefully. “If not for the pills given by His Highness, I would never have become a Grandmaster in my life.”
“That’s because you’ve made enough military contributions.”
Meng Bai nodded. Not all the soldiers in the army had a share of the Breakthrough Pills and Essence Cleansing Pills that Zhou Shu had given. They were also rewarded accordingly.
Since he had taken both pills, it could only mean that he had earned enough military merits.
Meng Bai looked at Zhang San and said seriously, “Zhang San, His Highness asked me to ask you. He wants to forge an intrinsic divine weapon for you. Are you willing?”
