1173 Epilogue, Proposal (1)
Everyone heard the Grotto-Heaven Master’s words clearly.
He had clearly agreed to Zhou Shu’s conditions, but he still wanted to put a fig leaf on himself.
At the same time, he put himself on the pedestal of righteousness.
The six of them had agreed to serve Zhou Shu for the great cause of the human race, not because they were afraid of death.
In this way, they could preserve some of the dignity belonging to Grotto-Heavens Masters, although everyone knew exactly what was going on.
Furthermore, he even involved the Qingqiu King, Yao Qing, and the others.
In any case, there were already Grotto-Heaven Masters working for Zhou Shu, so it wasn’t embarrassing for them to be loyal to him.
A mocking smile appeared on Zhou Shu’s face.
These Grotto-Heaven Masters were really as shameless as he thought.
Their high and mighty lives had probably long corroded their wills.
How could such people be counted on to resist the enemy from beyond the heavens?
Back then, the ancient races had risked their lives for this world.
Could these Grotto-Heaven Masters do the same?
Zhou Shu was very doubtful.
The ancient races had been hot-blooded, but these Grotto-Heaven Masters had been at ease for too long.
Although there had always been the threat of the Demon Realm, these Grotto-Heaven Masters had never seemed to take it to heart.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have appeared only when the Ten Nations retreated to the Grotto-Heavens back then.
Zhou Shu couldn’t help thinking of Wang Xuanyi.
If not for people like Wang Xuanyi fighting for this world, if not for the fact that he wanted to keep the not-so-powerful humans hopeful, if everyone in this world was as shameless as these Grotto-Heaven Masters, Zhou Shu would rather let this world be destroyed by the enemy from beyond the heavens!
But there were people like Wang Xuanyi and Emperor Yuan Feng.
This world couldn’t be represented by these Grotto-Heaven Masters.
This world was worth saving.
“I will spare your lives for the time being,” Zhou Shu said coldly.
“Listen carefully. I didn’t kill you not because you shouldn’t be killed but because you still have a part to play in this world.
“But if you do something outrageous, my sword won’t be polite to you.”
Zhou Shu’s killing intent didn’t decrease.
The six Grotto-Heaven Masters were full of bitterness.
In the past, if anyone dared to threaten them, killing three generations of the opposing party would have been letting them off easy.
But now, they didn’t even dare to refute.
Shang Qiuzi’s death had completely frightened them and destroyed any courage they had.
“Don’t worry. We’ll keep our word,” said a Grotto-Heaven Master, enduring the humiliation. “For the next thousand years, we will obey you. As long as you don’t deliberately send us to our death, we will listen to your orders.”
Zhou Shu couldn’t be bothered to waste his breath on them. “Qingqiu King, place a Golden Lotus Karmic Fire restriction on them.”
The Qingqiu King nodded, and balls of golden flames flew out from her fingertips.
The six Grotto-Heaven Masters hesitated for a moment before letting the flames of the golden lotus land on them.
They didn’t dare to resist, nor could they.
From Zhou Shu’s attitude, it was obvious that if they didn’t accept this restriction, today’s matter wouldn’t end.
As Grotto-Heavens Masters, although they didn’t know what the Golden Lotus Karmic Fire was, they could easily figure it out.
Zhou Shu didn’t trust them, so it was normal for him to use some methods.
They didn’t think that this restriction could really control them, but they had already lowered their heads. In that case, they didn’t plan to betray him in a short period of time. It didn’t matter if there were any restriction methods.
“Is there anything else?” Zhou Shu’s gaze landed on the Grotto-Heaven Masters outside Great Xia’s capital.
The light in his eyes made their hearts turn cold.
Would this devil Zhou Shu target them?
Speaking of which, Zhou Shu already has four Grotto-Heaven Masters under him. Now, there were six more…
At the thought of this, these Grotto-Heaven Masters turned into streams of light without hesitation and instantly disappeared into the distance.
They really didn’t dare to stay in Great Xia. Not only did they not dare to stay, but they had even decided that from now on, Great Xia and Great Wei would be their forbidden areas. They would never step foot into these two nations no matter what.
Ten Grotto-Heaven Masters and a crazy Zhou Shu, no one could withstand this.
The heavens of the human race have changed.
At the thought that the entire human race was about to be under Zhou Shu, they felt their bodies turn cold.
They couldn’t figure out Zhou Shu’s thoughts at all. He had killed a Grotto-Heaven Master just like that and would fight to the death without a word. He wasn’t afraid of death at all, nor was he afraid of causing any casualties.
Who wouldn’t be afraid?
Now, these Grotto-Heaven Masters only wanted to run far away and never see Zhou Shu again.
When the six Grotto-Heaven Masters in Great Xia’s capital saw this scene, they felt even sadder.
Initially, they had hoped that these fellow Grotto-Heaven Masters would help them. Now, it seemed that they were unreliable.
The few Grotto-Heaven Masters fled. Everyone in Great Xia found it unbelievable.
Emperor Yuan Feng rubbed his eyes, feeling like he was dreaming.
This unsolvable crisis was resolved so easily?
He originally thought that even if Zhou Shu didn’t die this time, Great Xia would suffer heavy casualties.
He had even been prepared to sacrifice himself to save Zhou Shu.
But before he could figure out what was happening, Shang Qiuzi was already dead, and the remaining six Grotto-Heaven Masters had already surrendered.
Even the other Grotto-Heaven Masters chose to escape.
If he hadn’t seen these things with his own eyes, Emperor Yuan Feng wouldn’t have believed that it was true.
These people were Grotto-Heaven Masters!
