1303 Inventorying the Harvest (1)
Ancestral land, the Ten Nations…
Apart from Great Wei, the emperors of the other nine nations received an invitation from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
The emperors were invited to the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven on the night of August 15th.
For a moment, everyone in the world was panicking.
Great Xia’s Emperor Yuan Feng wasn’t too nervous. After all, he had a relationship with Zhou Shu.
But the emperors of the other nations were panicking.
They already knew Zhou Shu’s strength very well. Even Grotto-Heaven Masters were not his match, let alone them.
Zhou Shu suddenly made such a huge commotion. Did he want to unify the human race?
If he really made the various nations submit to him, what should they do?
If they fought, they would definitely not be able to defeat him.
Back then, when Zhou Shu subdued the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, none of the nations were confident in stopping him.
But they didn’t have the guts not to go.
Zhou Shu could already be considered the number one person in the world. Now that he had given them face and sent them invitations, who would dare not to go? Weren’t they afraid of an army invading their countries the next day?
Apart from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, Great Wei was also Zhou Shu’s territory, not to mention the other grotto-heavens
Ever since those Grotto-Heaven Masters died in battle, all the grotto-heavens became ownerless. As long as Zhou Shu was willing, he could annex them at any time.
The emperors accepted the invitations and anxiously waited for the arrival of August 15th.
…
Meanwhile, the Demon Realm had fallen into chaos.
Originally, Yao Buqi and Hu Li had been gradually annexing the demonic beast forces of the Demon Realm. According to their progress, in another ten years or so, they would unify the Demon Realm.
But now, Zhou Shu was anxious and asked Ji Lutian and the Demon Ancestor to take action.
This way, Yao Buqi and Hu Qi could only cooperate.
The war was very intense. Even Great Wei sent many experts to join in.
Ji Lutian and the Demon Ancestor executed all the resisting demonic beasts.
In the current ancestral land, below the number one person in the world, Zhou Shu, the strongest were Wang Xuanyi and his wife and Ji Lutian and his wife.
Wang Xuanyi and Diao Moye were not here. None of the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm could defeat Ji Lutian and the Demon Ancestor.
Under their crazy bombardment, the entire Demon Realm quickly fell under the rule of Yao Buqi and Hu Li.
Yao Buqi felt extremely complicated. He knew very well that Ji Lutian and the Demon Ancestor didn’t have any desire for power.
Although they had conquered the Demon Realm, Yao Buqi would definitely be the one to manage the Demon Realm in the future.
This was equivalent to him sitting back and reaping the fruits of victory. He should be happy.
But Yao Buqi wasn’t happy.
This was a free lunch. This free lunch was too big, and he felt uneasy eating it.
Especially now that Zhou Shu had suddenly changed his plan and asked the emperors of the various nations to go to the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, Yao Buqi was puzzled about what Zhou Shu wanted to do.
Sigh, whatever. In any case, I can’t stop His Highness from doing whatever he wants, Yao Buqi thought. Yao Buqi ah, Yao Buqi, it’s better to put away your thoughts. Being a puppet is better than death.
…
In Great Xia’s imperial palace…
Emperor Yuan Feng was in a discussion with the officials.
“Your Majesty, why did the King of the South invite all the emperors this time? Your Majesty can’t take the risk,” a minister said.
Emperor Yuan Feng’s expression darkened as he said coldly, “Do you think that my son-in-law will harm my life?”
The minister said in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, the King of the South has all the power in the world. He might not harm your life, but if what he wants to do is create a conflict, there will be no chance to mediate.
“Your Majesty, I think that you can send a diplomatic mission. If the King of the South really wants Great Xia to submit, at least we still have a chance to ease the situation.”
All the ministers agreed.
Emperor Yuan Feng sneered. “Ridiculous! Do I need to think so much when I go to my daughter and son-in-law’s house?”
He said coldly, “Listen carefully. Zhou Shu is my son-in-law. If he wants to be the emperor of Great Xia, I can’t ask for more. I will immediately abdicate!”
Emperor Yuan Feng shouted, “But you underestimate him too much. You underestimate me too much!
“Minister of Rites, pass down my decree and prepare gifts. This is the first time I’m visiting, so I can’t embarrass myself.”
He ignored the reactions of the ministers and asked them to prepare gifts according to the etiquette of treating allies.
This scene was also happening in other countries.
Some emperors had doubts and didn’t want to take the risk personally.
But after thinking about it, they finally gave up on the idea of sending a diplomatic mission.
First, Zhou Shu’s invitation clearly invited the emperors to gather.
If they refuted Zhou Shu in person, no one was sure if he would immediately come to their imperial palace to have a heart-to-heart talk with them.
This was very likely. No nation had the ability to stop Zhou Shu.
…
In Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven…
After Zhou Shu, Yin Wuyou, Lu Wenshuang, and Bai Qianqian reunited for a short time, he began to inventory the gains he had brought back from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
“Your Highness, did you bring back many good things from your trip to the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?” asked Shi Songtao, the Deputy Pavilion Master of the Huaxia Pavilion, excitedly.
During Zhou Shu’s absence, Deputy Pavilion Master Shi had been working day and night to pack up the forging materials from before. After these days of work, he had finally sorted out the forging materials extorted from the Grotto-Heaven Masters.
