Although Yao Lian had died in his hands, it was undeniable that Yao Lian was very strong. In the Ten Nations, other than him, no one was a match for Yao Lian.

But in the Demon Realm, Yao Lian was far from being considered a powerhouse.

In the fifty years that Zhou Shu had been in the dream, he had been defeated dozens of times.

Among the Great Demons of the Demon Realm, he could only be considered ordinary.

If the barrier between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent really shattered, the Ten Nations would definitely not be able to withstand the invasion of the Demon Realm.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great.

Before Yao Lian came to the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, he already knew that Emperor Wei Wu had colluded with the Demon Realm. The reason he came to this space was that he had lost a fight, so he was sent here.

The Demon Realm seemed to have split into two groups. One group used the ladder set up by Emperor Wei Wu to invade the Ten Nations directly.

The other came to the battlefield of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament to kill all the Ten Nations’ troops.

The latter was not a good job, so it fell to Yao Lian.

From this, it could be seen that Yao Lian’s status in the Demon Realm was indeed not high.

He didn’t get a chance to directly invade the Ten Nations Continent, which would allow one to gain more.

The Demon Realm army split into two groups. One group came to the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, and the other gathered near the gap opened by Emperor Wei Wu.

Zhou Shu recalled the information he had obtained in his dream. If they were lucky, they would have to face the million-strong demon beast army after entering the Demon Realm.

If the passage he had opened was far enough from the passage opened by Emperor Wei Wu, they still had a chance to escape before the Demon Realm army came to stop them.

In any case, the Demon Realm was vast. As long as they could survive the first wave, they would be able to enter the Demon Realm. At that time, they would have a lot of room to maneuver.

Yao Lian has a secret lair in the Demon Realm. It’s one of his three dens, and he’s the only one who knows about it, Zhou Shu pondered. If we can escape to that place, the Ten Nations Alliance will have some breathing room.

Yao Lian had also been a thoughtful person. He had been worried that he would encounter some danger one day, so he had specially prepared an escape route.

The secret lairs that only he knew stored the resources he needed to make a comeback.

In the Demon Realm, where the strong preyed on the weak, it was not surprising that Yao Lian would make such preparations.

He probably didn’t expect that he would die on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield.

The gap opened by Emperor Wei Wu has been occupied by the Demon Realm army. It’s impossible to return to the Ten Nations from there.

There were two things that made it most difficult to return to the Ten Nations Continent through the Demon Realm.

The first was whether they could survive the first wave of the Demon Realm army when they first entered the Demon Realm.

The second was how to return to the Ten Nations.

If they could survive the first wave of attacks and successfully reach the secret lair left by Yao Lian, then the most difficult thing was how to return to the Ten Nations Continent.

After all, Yao Lian’s secret lair could only give them a chance to catch their breath. It was impossible for them to stay for long. The Demon Realm army wouldn’t give them much time.

This was the biggest challenge they had to face!

There was indeed a problem with the barrier between the two worlds. But even if there was a spatial rift, it was definitely unstable and couldn’t allow the army to pass through normally.

I have Great Wei’s imperial cauldron. If I use it to open another gap…

Zhou Shu shook his head. Not to mention whether this could be done, even if it could, doing so would cause endless trouble.

The barrier between the two worlds was already cracked and fragile. If he touched it again, it was very likely to cause a large-scale collapse of the barrier.

If that happened, there would be serious trouble.

Besieging Wei to save Zhao, I didn’t expect my passing remark to come true.

Zhou Shu smiled bitterly in his heart. After he thought about it, the only way back to the Ten Nations was the passage opened by Emperor Wei Wu.

If they wanted to get there, they had to either face the Demon Realm army directly or find a way to lure them away.

Even if Zhou Shu was confident enough, he didn’t think that less than 100,000 people could do it.

If he lured the Demon Realm army away, he could only think of a way to attack the enemy and save them.

What sin did I commit in my previous life? Didn’t I just not help an old granny cross the road a few times? Why do I have to face such a predicament? I’m just a forger.

Zhou Shu sighed.

“Zhou Shu, what’s wrong?” Yin Wuyou’s voice sounded in Zhou Shu’s ear.

Zhou Shu came back to his senses and looked at the pretty face in front of him. He couldn’t help but peck her cherry lips.

Zhou Shu only raised his head when Yin Wuyou’s face turned red and her breathing quickened.

“I’ve decided.” Zhou Shu looked into Yin Wuyou’s eyes. “For the sake of our happy life, I must bring everyone back to the Ten Nations!

“It’s just fighting a war, isn’t it? Who says a forger can’t fight?”

A determined expression appeared on Zhou Shu’s face. “Demonic beasts have claws and teeth. We have sabers. We’ll cut off their heads with them.”

Our happy life? Yin Wuyou blushed, and her eyes shone. She seemed to think of something and was so embarrassed that she couldn’t even raise her face.

…

A hundred kilometers away from the camp, near the blood vortex…

Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Tang Chengshi, Cao Chenyang, and the others were all gathered together.

Other than the soldiers who were still busy mining, the surviving generals of the Ten Nations had all arrived.

“Great General Meng, why isn’t the King of the South here yet? It has been nearly five days,” a middle-aged man said in a deep voice. This person was a general of Great Qi. His surname was Zhang, and his name was Wuyuan.

“Is what you say true?” Zhang Wuyuan said impatiently.

“General Zhang, are you suspecting me or the King of the South?” Meng Bai’s face darkened.

“General Zhang, ” Wang Mu said. “His Highness drove away the million-strong Demon Realm army alone. If it wasn’t for His Highness, how many people do you think would still be alive?”

“That’s not what I meant.” Zhang Wuyuan was embarrassed by the public outrage. He scratched his head and said, “I’m just anxious.

“If this place is about to collapse, shouldn’t we hurry up and think of something?”

“I’ve already told you how,” Meng Bai said in a low voice. “From here, we’ll pass through the Demon Realm and return to the Ten Nations.”

“Wouldn’t that be suicide?” Zhang Wuyuan frowned. “It’s not that I’m afraid of death. But now that the Demon Realm army has been driven back to the Demon Realm, we only need to wait for the battlefield to reopen before we can go home. Why take this risk?”

“General Zhang, no matter what, you still don’t believe in King Zhou.” Tang Chengshi sneered. “If you don’t want to go, fine. Great Qi can just stay here.”

“Hmph.” Zhang Wuyuan snorted. “Why? Can’t you let me get to the bottom of this? I admire King Zhou for chasing away the Demon Realm army, but I’m not a lackey of Great Xia.”

“What are you saying?” Tang Chengshi stood up angrily.

“I’m talking about whoever feels guilty.” Zhang Wuyuan sneered.

Meng Bai and Wang Mu frowned. Apart from Great Xia, Great Qin, and Great Jin, which had fought with them from the beginning, the remaining troops of the other countries all had their own thoughts.

The only one who didn’t have to worry was the original Great Wei soldiers, who were now known as the Criminal Army.

Although it was the Ten Nations Alliance, not everyone shared the same thoughts.

Zhang Wuyuan wasn’t the only one who had doubts. The others just didn’t say them out loud.

“General Zhang, if you’re not convinced, let’s spar!”

“So be it. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”

“Enough!” Meng Bai shouted. “Is this the time to fool around?”

He glared at Zhang Wuyuan and Tang Chengshi before sweeping his gaze across everyone present.

“Why don’t you tell me what everyone is thinking? My Great Xia will never force anyone to travel with us. If anyone is unwilling to travel with us, I will tell His Highness. We will not force anyone!”
