"No, I can't show my face in public yet." Zhou Shu shook his head. Actually, other than Yin Wuyou, there were no ties between him and Great Xia.
It could even be said that his king titles in the Nine Nations were now like a joke.
He, Zhou Shu, no longer needed these external titles to set off his existence.
As such, the Huaxia Pavilion naturally could no longer be considered the Huaxia Pavilion of Great Xia's Forging Division.
But Zhou Shu had never abandoned this title.
Moreover, even if he didn't care about the relationship with Great Xia, there was still Yin Wuyou. Emperor Yuan Feng could be regarded as his father-in-law. Zhou Shu had to give him some face.
Zhou Shu had heard about what the Ten Nations Alliance had gone through, and he was very touched by Emperor Yuan Feng's actions.
For various reasons, Zhou Shu had no intention of severing his relationship with Great Xia.
The Great Xia Forging Division's Huaxia Pavilion would exist forever.
At the same time, the Treasure Distribution Rock would also exist.
But he, Zhou Shu, would be behind the scenes from now on.
"I have some grudges with the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Although I'm not afraid of them, it's not appropriate to cause trouble at this time," Zhou Shu continued. "That's why it's not suitable for me to appear now.
"I plan on bringing Shi Songtao and the others to a secret place to forge. Before the war between the two worlds begins, I have to forge more connate divine weapons."
Zhou Shu said in a low voice, "During this period of time, I'll work together with them. Other than the Treasure Distribution Rock, the equipment of the Ten Nations Alliance has to be upgraded. In addition, we can't ignore the three armies of Great Xia."
Thinking about it, Zhou Shu felt that no matter how many connate divine weapons there were, they were not enough.
"Master, not everyone in the three armies of Great Xia needs to be equipped with a connate divine weapon, right?" Lu Wenshuang couldn't help saying.
All things considered, Lu Wenshuang was still a female general of Great Xia. She was very familiar with the situation of the three armies of Great Xia. With the strength of the three armies of Great Xia, there was no need to equip them with connate divine weapons at all. Most of the soldiers were also unable to unleash the power of connate divine weapons. Not to mention connate divine weapons, it was a waste for them to use even heaven-grade weapons.
It was already very difficult for first-rank martial artists from the various nations to have a heaven-grade weapon. Most soldiers used standard weapons.
And now? It seemed that if it wasn't a connate divine weapon, it wouldn't be presentable.
Zhou Shu smiled. "I know it's impossible for everyone to have a connate divine weapon. Not to mention that we don't have the resources, even if we do, I don't have that much time to forge so many connate divine weapons.
"You don't have to worry about forging."
Zhou Shu looked at the two women. "Wuyou, you're the grand minister of Great Xia's Forging Division. From now on, all the weapons that the Huaxia Pavilion sends to Great Xia will pass through your hands. You'll be in charge of the specific flow."
Yin Wuyou was a little puzzled, but Lu Wenshuang had already tugged at the corner of her clothes.
Although this junior sister of hers was born in the imperial family, she was still not familiar with schemes and tactics.
Now that the grotto-heavens had appeared, the authority of the imperial families of the various nations had already decreased drastically. The imperial families couldn't afford to provoke any grotto-heaven disciple. This made many people want to join the grotto-heavens, so their attitude toward the imperial families naturally changed.
The morale of the armies was affected, and there were even several military riots in some countries.
Zhou Shu was clearly giving Yin Wuyou a chance to establish her might.
From the experience of distributing treasures at the Treasure Distribution Rock, it was apparent that divine weapons were extraordinarily attractive to martial artists.
If the imperial family of Great Xia could control the distribution of a batch of peerless divine weapons, it would definitely be a good thing for the imperial family of Great Xia.
Lu Wenshuang explained this to Yin Wuyou in a low voice. Yin Wuyou immediately looked at Zhou Shu tenderly. "You're so good to me!"
Her big watery eyes almost drowned Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu rubbed her face and turned to Lu Wenshuang. "Little Lu, I asked you to investigate the grotto-heavens previously, but there's no need to do it anymore."
"Then, what should I do?" Lu Wenshuang asked. She had forgotten that she was a general of Great Xia, so there was actually no need to ask Zhou Shu.
But in the Demon Realm, the Ten Nations Alliance had treated Zhou Shu as their supreme commander, so Lu Wenshuang was used to listening to Zhou Shu's orders.
Yin Wuyou didn't think there was anything wrong with Lu Wenshuang's question.
"I want you to do something dangerous," Zhou Shu said seriously.
"What is it?" Lu Wenshuang asked without hesitation. Was she afraid of danger?
Of course not!
Little Senior Sister Lu was someone who even dared to steal Zhou Shu's God of War Catalog. There were not many things in this world that could scare her.
Of course, what she was most afraid of now was losing Zhou Shu's favor.
"I want you to go to the Demon Realm and pretend to be Tushan!" Zhou Shu said.
"Pretend to be Tushan?" Lu Wenshuang was a little puzzled. She naturally knew who Tushan was. Back in the Demon Realm, she had once dreamed about being Tushan after Zhou Shu used the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique on her.
Lu Wenshuang had learned a lot from Tushan. She had even practiced some of them when she cultivated the God of War Catalog with Zhou Shu…
"Master, do you want me to go to the Demon Realm as a spy to obtain information?" Lu Wenshuang asked.
Now that the war between the Demon Realm and the human race was imminent, it was necessary to send spies to the Demon Realm.
Tushan was a Demon King of the Demon Realm and had a respected status. She definitely had access to some military secrets.
"That's a way to see it." Zhou Shu nodded. "But investigating information isn't the main point.
"I want you to fetch something for me."
"What is it?"
"A Divine Stone!" Zhou Shu said.
"Divine Stone?" Lu Wenshuang and Yin Wuyou asked at the same time.
"Zhou Shu, we already have so many forging materials. If they're not enough, I can ask my father for some and send people to collect them. Why should we let Little Senior Sister Lu take the risk?" Yin Wuyou said.
"If it's an ordinary forging material, I naturally won't let Little Lu take the risk." Zhou Shu shook his head. "But Divine Stones are different. The number of Divine Stones in the world is limited. Under normal circumstances, it's impossible to obtain them.
"Now, I know the whereabouts of a Divine Stone. But if I want to obtain it, I have to sneak into the Demon Realm. Originally, I should go myself, but I have to forge and have no time to care about anything else…"
"I'll go!" Lu Wenshuang said firmly. "I dreamed about being Tushan before. There won't be any problem pretending to be Tushan. Master, tell me what the Divine Stone looks like, and I'll definitely help you bring it back."

"You don't have to be so nervous," Zhou Shu said. "The real Demon Queen Tushan is now in the hands of Tang Qianluo of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. There might be people in the Demon Realm who can see through my transformation divine ability, but there are definitely not many.
"So although your operation this time is a little dangerous, as long as you're careful, it won't be too dangerous.
"If you really encounter danger, I have a backup plan. You're my woman. I won't let anything happen to you."
"I know." Lu Wenshuang revealed a rare smile. She trusted Zhou Shu very much. "Master, tell me what to do."
Zhou Shu smiled and pointed at Lu Wenshuang's glabella.
With a flash of light, Lu Wenshuang transformed into Tushan.
"It's very simple. Use your identity as Tushan to find a Demon King in the Demon Realm. This Demon King is…"
Zhou Shu's voice became almost imperceptible. Unless it was the two women in front of him, no one else could hear him.
"As long as this happens, you have a high chance of tricking the Divine Stone from him," Zhou Shu whispered in Lu Wenshuang's ear.
"I'll remember." Lu Wenshuang nodded and suddenly said, "Master, before we set off, I have a request."
"What request?" Zhou Shu said.
"I want to cultivate the God of War Catalog with you again." Lu Wenshuang blushed. Her every move was charming. Who knew if she forgot, but her current behavior was exactly like Tushan's!
