"My lord, you arranged for the leader of the Demon God Cult to be with Yao Buqi because you wanted to test him?"
In the camp of Liangjie Mountain, Meng Bai looked at Zhou Shu and said in deep thought.
"Temptation is just one of them."
Zhou Shu said, and after letting Sun Chuang and Yao Buqi leave, Zhou Shu took Xiao Yu'er back to the camp.
As soon as he returned to the camp, he immediately summoned Meng Bai and others.
"You don't have to worry about Sun Chuang's affairs. I called you here because there is an important matter."
Zhou Shu said seriously, "I can send some people back to the Ten Kingdoms Continent now!"
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng and others all showed great joy on their faces.
"Can you go back?"
They were all excited. Although they were in the demon world and there seemed to be no danger for the time being, they seemed to be walking on a tightrope every day and did not dare to relax for a moment.
There is no telling when they will be encircled and suppressed by the demon army, which will be a disaster for them.
This kind of pressure is simply different from the pressure of preparing for war on the ten continents.
"Don't be too happy too early."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "There are still 30,000 people in the Ten-Nation Alliance Army. It is impossible for me to send everyone there."
"According to my estimate, I can only send a maximum of three hundred people back."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, "There is a one percent chance that who to send back is what I came to you to discuss!"
Zhou Shu can handle the matter between Yao Buqi and Sun Chuang by himself, and Meng Bai and the others can't be of much help.
But if Xiao Yuer is asked to take people back to the Ten Kingdoms Continent, Zhou Shu will not be able to act arbitrarily.
Xiao Yu'er is growing up now, and her growth rate is much faster than Zhou Shu expected.
Maybe if she travels to the Ten Kingdoms Continent once or twice, she will grow too big to pass through that passage.
Now Xiao Yuer's cave is not big enough to accommodate too many people at one time.
Three hundred people is Zhou Shu's relatively optimistic estimate.
"One percent..."
The smiles on the faces of Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng and others froze, and their hearts sank.
Returning to the Ten Kingdoms Continent is equivalent to returning home safely for the human race. They will be safer in the future. At least until the barrier between the demon world and the Ten Kingdoms Continent disappears completely, they will not be in too much danger. p>
But staying in the demon world is a real life-and-death situation. You may have to fight the monsters at any time, and the chance of surviving is almost zero.
It's a good choice to live your life and die. If you have a choice, I'm afraid not many people would be willing to stay in the demon world.
But now, Zhou Shu gave them a choice, choose one out of a hundred, and get a chance to survive and return to their hometown with honor!
This choice is too cruel.
"Generals, I don't need to say anything else."
Zhou Shu's eyes swept over Meng Bai and others, "You decide for yourself who will leave and who will stay. I hope to see the list before sunrise tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhou Shu got up and left the camp.
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng, Tang Chengshi, Cao Chenyang, Zhang Wuyuan and other people who were qualified to attend, all fell into silence.
After a full quarter of an hour, Meng Bai slowly said, "I suggest that these three hundred places be allocated by each country based on the existing number of people."
If there are 30,000 people in the ten-nation coalition in the demon world, and the number of people in each country is different, the equal distribution will definitely be unreasonable.
"There is no need to consider our criminal army."
Xiao Jianghe said solemnly, "We will be where the prince is, and we will not go back."
Meng Bai bowed his hands towards Xiao Jianghe sternly. At this time, the one who actively chooses to stay must be a warrior.
"I, Da Qin, should also stay."
Wang Mu smiled casually and said, "I almost made the prince confused."
"Unexpectedly, I, Wang Mu, still can't bear to see life and death. For just a moment, I actually thought about returning to the Ten Kingdoms Continent."
He spoke candidly, his eyes became very clear, and as he spoke, his aura seemed to rise slightly.
Facing his own dark side, Wang Mu's mood improved greatly, and he even made considerable progress in his cultivation.
"I, the Great Zhao, are not greedy for life or afraid of death."
Bai Qiancheng said coldly.
"It's as if someone is afraid of death."
Master Tang Cheng of Da Jin sneered, "I, Da Jin, will not leave either."
A few people looked at each other and said something to each other, but all of them chose to stay.
Meng Bai smiled bitterly, if you do this, the three hundred places to return to the Ten Kingdoms Continent will not be used up!
"This is not the time to act on impulse."
Meng Bai said, "It may be dangerous to stay, but it may not be unsafe to go back."
"Didn't you just listen to what the prince said? In the Ten Kingdoms Continent, the Demon God Sect is in chaos, and mysterious forces have appeared. Even if we go back, we may have to face war."
"In this case, let more of you people from Daxia go back."
Master Tang Cheng said.
Meng Bai rolled his eyes, saying this is just like everyone in Daxia who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Forget it, let's draw lots."
Meng Bai shook his head and said, "The chosen ones will go back, and the rest will stay. It's fair and just, and no one has anything to say."
"After drawing lots, that's it."
Everyone nodded.
On the other side, Zhou Shu came to the place where Lu Wenshuang was retreating.
His movements were very gentle, but the moment he entered the door, he still felt Lu Wenshuang's breathing became slightly faster.
However, she still closed her eyes and did not open them. Only the red color on her face betrayed her mood.
Zhou Shu smiled slightly. Lu Wenshuang usually looked very cold, but he was even shyer than Yin Wuyou.
Isn’t this embarrassing?
He stepped forward to Lu Wenshuang and hugged Lu Wenshuang directly.
"Master——"
Lu Wenshuang didn't dare to open her eyes and shouted softly.
The sound of "Master" made Zhou Shu feel like he was going to explode.
"Stab-"
A piece of clothes flew up, and the white jade-like skin was exposed in front of Zhou Shu's eyes. Zhou Shu's hands slid down to the slender waist. With a sweet cry, Lu Wenshuang was pressed under Zhou Shu.
……
After a while, Zhou Shu lay on the bed with a satisfied look on his face, while Lu Wenshuang lay weakly in his arms.

"Xiao Lu, early tomorrow morning, you will follow Xiao Yu'er and return to the Ten Kingdoms Continent."
After a while, Zhou Shu suddenly spoke.
"Ah——"
Lu Wenshuang exclaimed, "Can we return to the Ten Kingdoms Continent?"
"Well, Xiao Yu'er's cultivation has improved again, and her cave can now hide people."
Zhou Shu said, "You enter Xiao Yu'er's cave, and then Xiao Yu'er will take you back -"
"We? Master, won't you go back?"
Lu Wenshuang frowned.
"Xiao Yu'er's cave can't hold too many people, so we can only send a maximum of 300 people back this time."
Zhou Shu said.
"Then I won't leave."
Lu Wenshuang shook his head and said, "My cultivation has reached the realm of land gods. I will stay here to help you."
She was resolute and never agreed to leave no matter what Zhou Shu said.
Zhou Shu did not insist, but changed the topic.
"Whether you go back or not, something has to be put on the agenda."
Zhou Shu ran his hands on Lu Wenshuang's smooth and jade-like back, feeling the beautiful curves, and continued.
"You are now an Earth Immortal, and the original Yuan Hong Sword is no longer worthy of you."
"I gave the Xiantian Yuanhong Sword to my eldest brother. It's not that I deliberately ignored you, but the Yuanhong Sword actually doesn't suit you very well."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "I have prepared another divine sword for you."
"What divine sword?"
A smile appeared on Lu Wenshuang's face, and the original grudge in her heart had completely disappeared, leaving only sweetness.
"Magic Weapon——Tianya!"
Zhou Shu spoke softly.
……
At sunrise, 30,000 people lined up neatly in the military camp of the Ten-Nation Allied Forces in Liangjie Mountain, but not a single sound was made.
After experiencing the martial arts of the Ten Kingdoms and several battles in the demon world, each of these 30,000 people has been tempered and turned into an elite soldier who can fight in every battle.
Seeing Zhou Shu and Lu Wenshuang coming hand in hand like a couple of gods, everyone looked at them with admiration.
Zhou Shu has become a symbol among the ten-nation coalition.
Although he did not lead troops most of the time, to everyone, Zhou Shu was the leader of the ten-nation coalition.
To them, Zhou Shu is the true spiritual leader.
"Your Majesty!"
Thirty thousand people shouted in unison.
Zhou Shu nodded slightly and looked at Xian Mengbai and others.
Meng Bai nodded with a serious expression, stepped forward, and said loudly, "Those who get the lot, come out!"
Among the army, three hundred people came out one after another.
The expressions of the remaining people have not changed. If they can survive until now, then no one is afraid of death.
Although it would be good to go back to the Ten Kingdoms Continent, staying here and fighting alongside the prince would not be a bad idea, right?
"The generals should have told you everything, so I won't talk nonsense and let's go."
Zhou Shu said.
"Wait!"
A voice suddenly said loudly, "Can I give up my place? I don't want to leave!"
Zhou Shu heard about the reputation and found that the speaker was Sun Pingping.
"I want to stay in the demon world and fight the monsters. I don't want to go back to the Ten Kingdoms Continent."
Sun Pingping looked at Zhou Shu and said, "It would be a waste of my strength to go back!"
"Nonsense!"
Meng Bai scolded, "Military orders are like mountains, how can this be child's play!"
Zhou Shu was a little speechless. Your strength is almost at the bottom of the Ten-Nation Alliance.
"Who wants to go back?"
Zhou Shu ignored Sun Pingping, but looked at the army and asked.
The whole place was silent, no one spoke.
"Who else wants to stay?"
Zhou Shu's eyes turned to the three hundred people who were chosen.
"Me!"
"Me!"
Three hundred people all took a step forward and shouted loudly.
They all want to stay.
"You don't want to go back to the Ten Kingdoms Continent?"
Zhou Shu looked at everyone and frowned.
"Go back, I definitely want to go back, but we don't want to go back like this!"
A soldier said, "Your Majesty, from the martial arts battlefield of the Ten Kingdoms to the Demon Realm, and dozens of battles, we have never backed down, and now, we don't want to leave either!"
"We want to stay and fight with everyone. If we have to leave, we also hope that everyone can go back together in an upright manner!"
"Now when we go back, we feel like deserters."
Three hundred people, all with ordinary expressions on their faces.
Their reaction surprised Zhou Shu.
He originally thought that these 300 places would cause some competition, but in the end, everyone was fighting for them.
"General Meng, what do you think?"
Zhou Shu turned to Meng Bai and others and said.
"Your Majesty, let me say something."
The speaker was Cao Chenyang, the most senior person present, who was also the prince of Daliang.
"For the Ten Kingdoms Continent, three hundred people is not too much, and not too much less."
Cao Chenyang said, "But for our large army behind enemy lines, three hundred people may sometimes be able to change the situation of the battle."
"I think we should let them return to the Ten Kingdoms Continent, or simply stay."
"That's what you all think?"
Zhou Shu looked at Meng Bai and others.
Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng and others were silent for a moment, then nodded.
Sending three hundred people back to the Ten Kingdoms Continent is of little significance in their opinion.
If their entire army is wiped out, even if these three hundred people can survive, one day the two barriers will be broken, and the Ten Kingdoms Continent may still be overturned.
There are no eggs left after the nest is overturned, so sending 300 people back to the Ten Kingdoms Continent now is a waste of strategy from a strategic point of view.
"Do you really think that I let you go back to give you a chance to survive?"
Zhou Shu looked at Sun Pingping and others again and said calmly.
"Isn't it?"
Sun Pingping said directly without meeting Zhou Shu.
"Of course not."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "You are all elite soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles. Wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources to let you take care of yourself in old age?"
"I will send you back to the Ten Kingdoms Continent at this time, but I have an important task for you."
Zhou Shu said, "This mission is no safer than staying in the demon world, and it may be more dangerous."
"If you are afraid, you can go back to the original team now."
After Zhou Shu finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and looked at everyone.
Sun Pingping and the three hundred people looked at each other, but none of them moved.
Zhou Shu had already talked to this extent, what else could they say?
"Old Zhou, can't you just tell me what you have to do? Do you know how uncomfortable it is to be so secretive?"
Sun Pingping couldn't help but said.
"This mission is top secret and we can't talk about it yet."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "When you return to the Ten Kingdoms Continent, someone will naturally inform you of the content of the mission."
"Now, Xiaoyu'er!"
Xiao Yu'er was held by Lu Wenshuang's hand, and she agreed abruptly, took a step forward, and took all three hundred people into her cave with a groan.
"Then I'm leaving -"
Lu Wenshuang glanced at Zhou Shu reluctantly and whispered.
"Go ahead."
Zhou Shu nodded and said, "Remember, your own safety is the priority in everything. You would rather fail the mission than take risks. For me, your safety is the most important, do you understand?"
"Understood."
Lu Wenshuang gave Zhou Shu a smile, hesitated for a moment, took a step forward, hugged Zhou Shu, and then returned to Xiao Yu'er amidst everyone's surprised eyes.
Xiao Yu'er's body flashed with light, and Lu Wenshuang was also taken into her cave.
