Chapter 136: Can The Heavenly Supreme Great Destroyer Kill a Supreme First-Rank Martial Artist

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Are you threatening me?” Zhou Shu looked at Shen Yue. “Have you not understood the situation?”

“You’re the one who doesn’t understand the situation.” Shen Yue sneered and looked into his arms.

Zhou Shu’s eyes moved, and he reached into Shen Yue’s arms.

Then he felt a conch-shaped stone.

“This is a sound transmission stone,” Shen Yue said coldly. “The sound transmission stone is a pair with one transmitting and one receiving. It can transmit sounds from thousands of miles away. Our words have already been transmitted through this stone.

“I can tell you that receiving one is in the hands of Great Wei’s imperial preceptor.” A look of satisfaction flashed across Shen Yue’s eyes. So what if you’ve hidden well? I still have something on you!

“Once I die, your secret will be spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chang’an tomorrow. By then, everyone will know that you, Zhou Shu, are an expert above the third rank of the Martial Dao!

“A grandmaster deliberately disguised himself as a Forging Apprentice and even showed his ninth-rank cultivation to others. Do you think that Emperor Yuan Feng will still trust you? Will the ministers of Great Xia still trust you?

“You didn’t develop the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber and the Horse Slaying Saber, right? Do you think they will appreciate your efforts to curry favor with Great Xia?”

Shen Yue no longer had the fear from before, nor did he look like he was going to defy death. Instead, he looked at Zhou Shu with a smug expression.

He had only behaved like that earlier to buy time to activate the sound transmission stone.

Now, he believed that Zhou Shu wouldn’t dare to kill him!

Zhou Shu’s expression was calm. He didn’t seem angry that he was being exposed.

“What you said makes sense.” Zhou Shu nodded.

This was one of the reasons he had never revealed his cultivation.

The reason was that he was unable to explain the origin of his cultivation. There was a limit to being a genius.

Yin Wuyou was a genius. She had started cultivating the Martial Dao when she was three years old, and with the resources provided by the Imperial Court at all costs, it still took her more than ten years to reach the third rank.

Lu Wenshuang, who was known as the number one Martial Dao genius of Great Xia, had received the best training since birth. This was how she had become a grandmaster in her teens.

Their Martial Dao paths could be said to be paved with countless resources. This was only possible if they had talent that was hard to come by even in ten thousand years.

What did Zhou Shu have?

He came from three generations of the lowest-level Forging Apprentices. The savings of several generations didn’t even add up to a hundred taels of silver.

Such a person had a cultivation base above the third rank of the Martial Dao before he was even twenty years ago?

How did he obtain his cultivation base?

Anyone would be suspicious.

With such a high cultivation level, yet he was willing to be a Forging Apprentice, it was simply not normal.

In addition to what had happened with Zhu Chuanfeng, Emperor Yuan Feng would probably suspect if Zhou Shu really developed those sabers, including the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Saber, himself, or if he had stolen them from someone else.

Otherwise, why would he conceal his cultivation?

Who would believe that in just a few short months, Zhou Shu had gone from being an ordinary Forging Apprentice to possessing exceptional cultivation?

It was fine if people didn’t believe it. But if they did, it would be even more troublesome.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by something that could allow an ordinary person to possess peerless cultivation in a few short months?

This was why Shen Yue was so confident. He was confident that Zhou Shu didn’t want to expose his cultivation level.

This was Zhou Shu’s weakness. He had no choice but to submit!

Shen Yue had even thought of using this secret to threaten Zhou Shu to be a spy of Great Wei. He would make him kill Mi Ziwen and even control him to assassinate Emperor Yuan Feng!

“I really don’t want my secret exposed,” Zhou Shu said. “I think we can work together. For example, you can call Xiao Shunzhi over, and we can rob the princess’s residence together?”

Shen Yue narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou Shu, wanting to see if he was serious.

Zhou Shu was calm.

Shen Yue snorted. “How can it be so easy to rob the princess’s residence?”

“Zhou Shu, if you don’t want your secret to be exposed, you’d better let go of me first.”

“Shen Yue, you seem to have gotten something wrong.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “My secret has been exposed. At most, I’ll leave Great Xia. With my strength, I can go anywhere. But you’re different. If my secret is exposed, you’ll die.”

Shen Yue froze. He had forgotten about this.

“Hmph, you can leave, but your plan in Great Xia will be ruined!”

Shen Yue refused to believe that Zhou Shu was doing this for fun!

He definitely had a huge scheme, which was why he was hiding in Great Xia.

“There’s no need for us to test each other.” Zhou Shu shook his head., “Since we have each other’s weakness in our hands, let’s make it simple. Let’s cooperate if we can. If we can’t, then we’ll split up!”

Shen Yue’s brows furrowed tightly. If we can’t, then we’ll split up?

He can just leave. I’ll be dead for sure.

“How do you want to cooperate?” Shen Yue asked. Unknowingly, the initiative had returned to Zhou Shu’s hands.

“Do you think you’re qualified to talk about cooperation with me?” Zhou Shu sneered. “Bring me to see Xiao Shunzhi. I want to talk to him.”

A cold light flashed in the depths of Zhou Shu’s eyes. First-rank martial artist?

He wanted to see if the heavenly supreme Great Destroyer Sword could kill a supreme first-rank martial artist!

Shen Yue didn’t know what Zhou Shu was thinking. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “The diplomatic mission of my Great Wei has already left Great Xia and is on the way back. The imperial preceptor is almost a thousand miles away from Chang’an.

“The Great Wei diplomatic mission has left, and you stayed behind to play dirty?” Zhou Shu looked at Shen Yue.

Shen Yue sneered. There was no need for him to hide anything now. “Mi Ziwen killed my elder brother. If I don’t kill him, how can I leave? Initially, I wanted to kill you first for interest…”

But he didn’t expect that he would fail miserably!

“Mi Ziwen killed your brother?” Zhou Shu’s heart skipped a beat. “Your father is the minister of war of Great Wei?”

Shen Yue didn’t say anything. But judging from his arrogant look, it was obviously true.

“You’re from a prestigious family,” Zhou Shu said casually. “Mi Ziwen killed your elder brother. Isn’t that helping you? He won’t be able to fight with you for the inheritance in the future.”

Shen Yue’s face darkened. “I’m the legitimate eldest son!”

Although his elder brother was older, he was a concubine’s son. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be sent to Great Xia as a spy.

The son of a concubine didn’t have much status.

But even though he was the son of a concubine, he was still his elder brother. He couldn’t let him die just like that!

Zhou Shu didn’t care much about these things. He looked at Shen Yue and said, “It’s just a thousand miles. I can make it.

“Call your men. We’re going after Xiao Shunzhi now,” Zhou Shu said. “Don’t tell me you can’t catch up. If that’s the case, we can just split up.”

Shen Yue’s expression turned ugly. Why aren’t things going according to my plan?

Why does Zhou Shu seem so fearless?

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yue sadly realized that facing an expert suspected of being a grandmaster, it seemed he had no choice at all.

Even if he was willing to risk his life to fight Zhou Shu, there was no chance of him winning!

He never would have thought that after spending so much effort and paying such a huge price to hide from the defenses of Great Xia, he would actually fail in front of a single person!

After Shen Yue gathered his people, Zhou Shu discovered that there weren’t many of them. Apart from the two he killed, there were only five people left in total.

This was normal. After all, they didn’t have many people in Chang’an.

Moreover, in their plan, besides Zhou Shu, a supposed ninth-rank martial artist, there were no other martial artists in the baron’s mansion.

The seven of them had cultivation levels ranging from the fourth rank to the eighth rank. They could control the baron’s mansion without anyone noticing.

After all, this newly promoted baron’s mansion was the one with the weakest defense in Chang’an.

Since his identity had already been exposed in front of Zhou Shu, Shen Yue didn’t continue to hide it.

He directly used their retreat route and left Chang’an. Following the planned route, he quickly chased after Xiao Shunzhi.

Along the way, Zhou Shu gained quite a bit of knowledge.

There were actually many hiding spots for Great Wei’s spies in Chang’an, which had previously been swept by the Divine Constable Bureau and the Huben Troops.

How should he put it?

It could only be said that no prairie fire can burn the grass utterly. The spring wind blows it back to life again.

Zhou Shu had also asked Shen Yue what happened to the servants in his residence.

Shen Yue didn’t kill all of them. Most of them were locked up in the woodshed, and only a few were killed.

Zhou Shu didn’t show any reaction on the surface. But in his heart, he already had the intention of killing Shen Yue and his group.

Do these people think that Great Xia is easy to bully?

I don’t know if Great Xia is easy to bully. But I, Zhou Shu, am not an easy target!

Shen Yue had stayed behind in Chang’an for revenge because he had made thorough preparations.

He had specially arranged for some thoroughbred horses outside the city.

These were the best warhorses in Great Wei, and they could travel thousands of miles in a day.

Zhou Shu was not too surprised by the speed of the fast horses. There were even martial artists here. It was not strange that the horses were faster than the ones in his previous life.

It was said that there were still demonic beasts in this world. The Demon Executing Army specialized in dealing with demonic beasts, but Zhou Shu had never seen them before.

With Shen Yao’s arrangements of traveling on horses, Zhou Shu was able to recharge his energy.

Warhorses could travel thousands of miles in a day, but this was only theoretically the fastest speed.

Shen Yue’s identity couldn’t be exposed, so he naturally could not take the main road. They crossed mountains and ridges, and it took them five days to spot the Great Wei diplomatic mission.

At this moment, the Great Wei diplomatic mission had already reached the border between Great Xia and Great Wei.

In these five days, the capital was already in chaos.

On the second day after Zhou Shu and Shen Yue left Chang’an, in the imperial study of the Great Xia imperial palace, Emperor Yuan Feng’s expression was extremely ugly.

“Tell me. How many times has it been?”

Emperor Yuan Feng was like a volcano on the verge of eruption. Originally, taking back the You and Bing prefectures was a cause for celebration for the entire country. However, he didn’t expect that after he sent off the You Prefecture Army and the Bing Prefecture Army, he would receive a blow to the head.

In front of him, Ma Fengzhang, the commander of the Divine Constable Bureau, as well as the generals of the Country Protector Army, all lowered their heads in shame.

“Over and over again, spies from other countries come and go as they please in Chang’an. It’s as if no one is here. Tell me. What are you doing?!

“If you can’t do it, then tell me. I’ll get someone else to do it!”

Emperor Yuan Feng slammed the table. With a loud crash, the table shattered into pieces.

“I know my mistake!” Ma Fengzhang and the rest jumped in fright.

“Your Majesty, I will take my men right now and save Baron Zhou!” a general from the Country Protector Army said.

“Save him? Where were you when he was abducted?” Emperor Yuan Feng said angrily. “You are in charge of Chang’an’s city gates. Is this how you guard them? Will there be a day when my head is chopped off and taken away by the enemy, and they can just walk out of the city openly?”

The general was so frightened that he didn’t know what to say.

“Let me ask you. A baron was kidnapped in his own residence. Who did it? How did they do it? Have you investigated clearly?” Emperor Yuan Feng said angrily, breathing heavily.

“Your Majesty, I failed my duty.” Ma Fengzhang sighed in his heart. Needless to say, this was his fault again.

In the previous incident with Zhu Chuanfeng, Zhou Shu had been taken out of the capital, and the Divine Constable Bureau’s reputation was already damaged.

Who knew that it would happen again!

Why was Zhou Shu so popular with the robbers?

As Ma Fengzhang thought about it, he said, “After receiving the news, I immediately sent people to investigate. The servants of the baron’s residence didn’t see the attacker’s face, but I found two corpses at the scene. One of them was unrecognizable, and the other was poisoned to death. There’s no doubt that it was a death warrior.”

“Nonsense!” Emperor Yuan said angrily.

Ma Fengzhang knew that Emperor Yuan Feng was in a fit of anger, so he didn’t dare to speak any nonsense. “I’ve found out the identity of that death warrior. He is…”

“Who is he?” Emperor Yuan Feng asked impatiently.

“He is from the great general’s residence.” Ma Fengzhang said softly.

“From the great general’s residence?” Emperor Yuanfeng was stunned. Then he said solemnly, “That’s impossible!”

Ma Fengzhang pursed his lips. He didn’t want to believe it, but it was the truth. “Absolutely. If I didn’t have absolute confidence, I wouldn’t dare to speak nonsense.”

Great General Meng Bai was the undisputed God of War of Great Xia. He had outstanding military achievements, and it could even be said that without him, Great Xia would not be where it was today.

Most importantly, Great General Meng and Emperor Yuan Feng had grown up together. He was loyal and devoted to Emperor Yuan Feng, and it was impossible for him to betray him.

“The great general will never betray me!” Emperor Yuan Feng said coldly. “His residence must have been infiltrated by a spy!”

Is that possible…?

Ma Fengzhang didn’t know.

What kind of person was the great general?

There was a spy hiding in the residence of the Great Xia’s God of War?

Just thinking about it was inconceivable. If he didn’t even discover the spy, how could he be the Great Xia’s God of War?

But it was unlikely that the general knew.

The great general was still on the battlefield on the southern border. Why would he deal with Zhou Shu?

With the status of a great general, if he really wanted to deal with Zhou Shu, would he leave behind such evidence?

“Ma Fengzhang, investigate this matter personally!” Emperor Yuan Feng said coldly. “I don’t care what methods you use, but you must find out who kidnapped Zhou Shu! And I want you to save Zhou Shu at all costs!”

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Ma Fengzhang said helplessly. “Your Majesty, Her Highness and Marquis Weiyuan’s young marquis have left the capital to track Zhou Shu’s whereabouts. Should I—”

Emperor Yuan Feng’s face darkened. “You don’t need to worry about them. Go investigate your case and save Zhou Shu!”

“Yes!” Ma Fengzhang lowered his head and didn’t dare to stay any longer. After taking his leave, he immediately left the palace and began his investigation..
