Zhou Shu stood where the ancestral land connected with Xuan Mingtian, and faintly heard a roar from Xuan Mingtian.
It seems that as he thought, Wu Gang really went to threaten Emperor Xuanming Tianhei.
"Huh?"
Wang E, who was standing next to Zhou Shu, had a thoughtful look on his face.
He couldn't think of anything anyway...
"General Wang E, please stay here. If anyone wants to break in, they will be killed without mercy!"
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice.
"Kill Wu Gang too?"
Wang E frowned.
Zhou Shu: "..."
"Wu Gang is one of our own, so of course we won't kill him."
Zhou Shu said helplessly, "I'm talking about Xuan Mingtian's enemies, those guys with horns on their heads."
"Get the order!"
Wang E said in a deep voice.
"Sir, have you asked Wu Gang who our enemy is?"
Wang E suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Zhou Shu, and asked.
"The enemy is hidden in the darkness, General Wang E. With your current strength, you cannot take revenge. For us, the most important thing now is to accumulate strength, and then wait for the opportunity to take revenge with a thunderous strike."
Zhou Shu said leisurely, then with his hands behind his back, he walked step by step towards the Xuling Cave.
"What do you mean?"
Wang E frowned and said to himself, "Sir, do you think you dislike my strength?"
"My strength has fallen too much, but I have woken up and will regain my former strength sooner or later."
Wang E said to himself, he looked in the direction of Xuan Mingtian, a flash of light flashed in his eyes.
"If I can fight, my strength should recover faster. Well, it makes sense. If they can't come, I can go."
Wang E muttered to himself, waved his hand and called a general over.
"Stay here and don't let anyone get through."
Wang evil said one after another.
"General, what are you going to do?"
A bad feeling flashed through the general's heart.
"It's not my king's evil style to sit back and wait for death."
Wang E said matter-of-factly, "I'll give them some color and see!"
Seeing Wang E flying into Xuanmingtian, the general of the Jade Talisman Fire Mansion opened his mouth with a look of helplessness.
With such a coach in front of him, what else can he do?
Anyway, this kind of thing doesn’t happen once or twice. Even if Wang E is not around, they can still do their own thing well.
……
Zhou Shu did not notice that Wang E left his ancestral land and entered Xuanmingtian. Now, he has completely relieved his burden.
Wu Gang went to threaten Xuan Ming Tian Hei Emperor. Within a short time, the possibility of Xuan Ming Tian Hei Emperor personally taking action was almost gone.
As for the other Xuan Mingtian soldiers, Wang E’s hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals are here. If they dare to come again, they will die.
The human race is finally safe for the time being.
Returning to the Xuling Cave Heaven, Zhou Shu looked down on the Bajing Palace that he was very satisfied with at first.
When he first rebuilt the Xuling Cave Heaven, Zhou Shu indeed intended to imitate the legendary Heaven Palace in his previous life.
Every palace here was cast by Zhou Shu using the method of casting innate magic weapons.
It can be said that every palace is an innate magic weapon.
Originally this could be regarded as his proud work.
But after seeing Guanghan Palace, Zhou Shu realized that his handwriting was nothing compared to that of the Ancient Heavenly Palace.
The Guanghan Palace, not to mention the main body of the palace, just the Galaxy Sand on the floor and the laurel tree are more advanced than all his buildings combined.
In a word, luxury!
Just after searching the ruins of Guanghan Palace, Zhou Shu felt like he had made a fortune. This was just a Guanghan Palace.
You know, the ancient heaven had thirty-six heavenly palaces and seventy-two treasure halls!
Guanghan Palace is not the best palace among them!
Zhou Shu simply couldn't imagine how extravagant the entire ancient heaven was.
He is even thinking now that although the ancient heaven has been destroyed, there should be many ruins left in those heavenly palaces and treasure halls. Is it possible to find all those ruins?
If he can find those relics, then he will be truly developed.
Those bastards Xuan Mingtian keep claiming that they are the remnants of Heaven, but in fact, he doesn’t even know where Heaven is.
"It's a pity that Wang E doesn't know everything when he asks questions, and Wu Gang is so uncertain."
Zhou Shu stood at the door of the Eight Views Palace, touched his chin and said in deep thought, "But Wu Gang agreed to help me find materials for casting weapons. There is a high probability that he will be able to find some relics of the ancient heaven."
"Hey, the Book of Life and Death is an artifact of innate evolution. How much weapon-making materials are needed to repair it, right?"
"Wu Gang, Wu Gang, just help me find materials for making soldiers honestly."
"As for Mr. Taiyin Star, if there is a chance in the future, I will help you."
Where does Zhou Shu have a book of life and death?
He doesn’t even know what the Book of Life and Death looks like.
Moreover, there is no method for casting the Book of Life and Death in the Divine Weapon Map. Zhou Shu himself could not cast a divine weapon without knowing its principles.
But this is not important. Zhou Shu had no intention of casting the Book of Life and Death.
When Wu Gang discovered that Zhou Shu had no record of life and death, Zhou Shu was confident that by that time, he would have enough strength to suppress Wu Gang.
After all, after this series of battles, Zhou Shu may be the one who has gained the most.
The power entrenched in his body has not yet been completely digested.
After fully digesting this harvest, Zhou Shu estimates that his cultivation level can reach a higher level.
"Your Majesty."
Just when Zhou Shu was standing in front of the Bajing Palace and thinking, Shi Songtao jumped out of nowhere.
He was wrapped in bandages and had a hint of fatigue on his face.
In the last battle and the last critical moment, the weapons casters of Huaxia Pavilion all went into battle to kill the enemy.
Shi Songtao was at the forefront.
He was very lucky and only suffered some minor injuries in the end.
Some armorers who were unlucky enough to encounter strong enemies simply left their lives on the battlefield.
However, under the protection of those soldiers, the damage to the Huaxia Pavilion Weapon Division was not serious.
At least compared to the regular army, they are very good.
"Your Majesty, the warehouse in Huaxia Pavilion is empty."
Shi Songtao whispered, "We promise Ju Mangtian the final payment..."
Shi Songtao is the deputy head of Huaxia Pavilion and Zhou Shu's deputy. He usually handles the chores of Huaxia Pavilion.
Shi Songtao knew very well the price Zhou Shu paid for hiring 10,000 troops from Ju Mangtian.
The 10,000 innate magic weapons paid before were just a deposit.
Now that the battle is over, they still have to pay the remaining balance, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of innate magic weapons.
Even when Huaxia Pavilion was at its richest, it could not produce tens of thousands of innate magic weapons.
What's more, now, in order to resist Xuan Mingtian's invasion, the warehouse of Huaxia Pavilion has been exhausted.
After all, fighting requires the loss of weapons. At that time, Huaxia Pavilion provided weapon support to the army regardless of the cost.
"Should I discuss it with the emperors of the ten kingdoms and ask them to allocate some weapons-making materials from the treasury?"
Shi Songtao looked around for a moment, then lowered his voice and said.
He didn't want Lin Kedi and others to hear about Huaxia Pavilion's inability to pay the balance.
If they knew the truth, ten thousand mercenaries would cause a riot, and the human race would not be able to bear it now.
"No need."
Zhou Shu shook his head, "The war has just ended, and the damage to various countries has been considerable. They may not be able to produce anything."
In order to resist Xuan Mingtian's invasion, the entire human race tried their best.
There are many casualties in various countries.
And now that the war is over, all countries are facing follow-up pension issues, and this pressure is also huge.
After all, in this battle, the human race suffered countless casualties. We cannot allow these heroes to die in the battle without their families receiving compensation.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Shi Songtao said with some worry, "Although Lin Kedi and the others seem to be honest now, if we break our promise, they might do something."
Shi Songtao had never trusted those mercenaries, even though they had performed very bravely in previous battles.
"Not that much."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "Lin Kedi is not that kind of person."
"My lord, if you know people and their faces but not their hearts, that means your heart is too kind!"
Shi Songtao said anxiously, "As the saying goes, people who are not from our race must have different minds. Lin Kedi and the others are from Jumangtian. They are here for profit..."
"Monsters and beasts are not of my race. Do we still have to guard against them now?"
Zhou Shu asked with a smile.
"That's different. After all, this is also the home of monsters——"
Shi Songtao.
"Okay, don't worry."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "I have prepared the final payment to Jumangtian's mercenaries."
While speaking, Zhou Shu raised his hand and waved.
A ray of light flashed, and grains of sand exuding starlight fell from the sky, making a splashing sound.
The gravel fell on the ground in front of the Bajing Palace like rain, and within a few breaths, it had piled up into a hill.
"This is?"
Shi Songtao's pupils suddenly shrank, "Galaxy God Sand?"
His breathing became a little heavy.
Shi Songtao is an expert, and he knows very well the value of the sacred sand of the Milky Way.
In the past, there was a saying to describe the preciousness of the materials for making soldiers: one tael of material and one tael of gold.
But this Galaxy Divine Sand has never been a matter of opinion!
It’s about grains!
A grain of Galaxy Sand is worth more than one tael of gold!
If one or two grains of Galaxy Sand are added to any weapon when it is forged, its value will be doubled!
Shi Songtao has seen countless good things over the years, but he never thought that one day he would be able to see so many Galaxy Sands!
How many grains of these galactic sands are there?
One hundred thousand pills?
Millions of pills?
It’s hard to count at all.
Those Galaxy Sacred Sands almost filled half of the Bajing Palace before Zhou Shu withdrew his hand.
"The value of these Galaxy Sacred Sands is enough to pay the balance of the Jumangtian mercenaries."
Zhou Shu clapped his hands casually and said lightly.
"Enough!"
Shi Songtao swallowed his saliva and said.
"My lord, where did you find so much galaxy sand? Did you rob Xuan Mingtian?"
Shi Songtao asked.
"Xuan Mingtian is a poor man, but he doesn't have so many good things."
Zhou Shu curled his lips disdainfully.
It's not like he has never been to Xuanmingtian. He has also visited the warehouse of Wu Suchen, the first weapon refiner of Xuanmingtian.
Speaking of which, the innate magic weapons used to hire Ju Mangtian's 10,000-strong army were forged by Zhou Shu using the weapon-making materials stolen from Xuan Mingtian.
Speaking of which, he is using Xuan Mingtian's things to deal with Xuan Mingtian.
I don’t know if Xuan Mingtian is really too poor, or if the things in Wu Suchen’s hands are just part of Xuan Mingtian.
Anyway, when he looked at Wu Suchen's warehouse now, it was simply not worth mentioning.
The sand on the floor of Guanghan Palace is more valuable than everything in the warehouse of Xuan Mingtian’s first weapon refiner put together!
"Deputy Pavilion Master Shi, you have worked hard this time. Your Songtao Sword was damaged in the previous battle. I will give you something. Let's repair your own sword first."
"As a weapons master, your sword must first be justified."
"We at Huaxia Pavilion are not poor people like Xuan Mingtian. Wu Suchen from Xuan Mingtian doesn't have any good things himself..."
Zhou Shu flipped his wrist generously, and a branch appeared in his hand.
"This is?"
Shi Songtao looked at the branch in Zhou Shu's hand with some confusion.
He knew that what the prince brought out would definitely be good.
But he really didn’t know what it was.
"The branches of the laurel tree."
Zhou Shu said.
"A laurel branch?"
"The laurel tree is a sacred tree in the palace of Taiyin Xingjun in ancient heaven. Its properties are very magical. No matter what damage it is, it can automatically repair..."
Zhou Shu gave a brief introduction.
Shi Songtao's arm holding the laurel branch felt heavy, and his eyes changed when he looked at the laurel branch.
A self-healing weapon-making material?
"Your Majesty, this is too valuable!"
Shi Songtao said with some reluctance that as a weapon maker, of course he wanted the branches of the laurel tree, but he also knew that such precious weapon-making materials would be too wasteful to use on him.
"Your Majesty, I am not a combatant. I can get by as an innate magic soldier. There are others who need these laurel branches more."
"In this battle, the weapons of General Xiao Jianghe and General Sun Pingping were all damaged. They are the top combat power and the mainstay of the human race. The branches of this laurel tree are used to forge innate magic weapons for them, which can display their full potential.
A greater role."
"After all, Xuan Mingtian was only temporarily repelled by us, and we are far from a real victory."
Shi Songtao said with a serious expression.
Zhou Shu burst out laughing. After knowing Shi Songtao for so many years, this was the first time he saw him acting so righteously.
Unexpectedly, Deputy Pavilion Master Shi has such a big heart.
"Take it if I give it to you. I know their innate weapons well."
Zhou Shu waved his hand and said.
"This——"
Shi Songtao still hesitated.
"Who told you that I only have one laurel branch?"
Zhou Shu said impatiently.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense."
Zhou Shu waved his hand and said, "Let someone come and deal with these galaxy sands."
"With only the Divine Sand of the Galaxy, you can't cast innate divine weapons. Now that the Ten Kingdoms are empty, even if you use the Divine Sand of the Galaxy, you won't be able to get much weapon-making materials from them."
Zhou Shu said, "In this case, you can take these Galaxy Sacred Sands to find Lin Kedi."
"There must be a lot of good things in Jumangtian's people. You use the Galaxy Sacred Sand to trade with them..."
"Going to trade with people from Jumangtian?"
Shi Songtao's eyes lit up, and several plans immediately came to mind.
They, Huaxia Pavilion, also have to pay a final payment to Jumangtian's mercenaries.
If they use Galaxy God Sand to pay their balance, it would be too cheap for them.
Galaxy Sand is a very rare weapon-casting material.
If you use the Galaxy God Sand to trade with them...
Shi Songtao secretly calculated that if this wave is executed well, maybe they, Huaxia Pavilion, will still make money!
"I promised Lin Kedi that if any of the mercenaries want innate magic weapons, our Huaxia Pavilion can help them cast them. You can do it as you see fit."
"You can take orders and use mercenaries to cast innate magic weapons. Don't increase the price too much."
Zhou Shu ordered.
Shi Songtao nodded, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand. No matter what, they fought desperately for us, I won't be too deceptive."
"By the way, Your Majesty, where are Mu Letian and those people?"
Shi Songtao asked.
"When doing business, you can't choose your partners."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said, "People who come from Jumangtian are not weak in cultivation, and they will not have too few good things in them."
"After this battle, most of their personal weapons were damaged. This is the time for our Huaxia Pavilion to show its value."
Zhou Shu said.
"Understood!"
A smile appeared on Shi Songtao's face. Do you want a magic weapon? I, Huaxia Pavilion, have whatever you want. As long as you pay a negligible fee, we can help you forge an innate magic weapon that suits your needs!
Shi Songtao now feels that owing the final payment to Jumangtian mercenaries is not a big deal at all.
Maybe, if those mercenaries turn around, they will owe Huaxia Pavilion money.
"I leave these things to you."
Zhou Shu said, "If you have any innate magic weapons that you can't forge, come to me again."
"Also, if someone calling himself Wu Gang comes to see me, just ask him to come over."
Zhou Shu thought for a moment and then ordered.
"I wrote it down."
Shi Songtao nodded and said, "Your Majesty, each country will provide compensation for the casualties of the soldiers. We in Huaxia Pavilion also had some armorers who died in battle..."
Although Zhou Shu bears the title of Lord of the Nine Kingdoms, strictly speaking, today's Huaxia Pavilion exists independently of the Ten Kingdoms.
In this battle, the human army came from various countries. If they died in battle, they would be compensated by their respective countries.
But Huaxia Pavilion is different. The weapon-casting divisions of Huaxia Pavilion do not belong to any country. Therefore, naturally no country will provide them with pensions.
Zhou Shu is the head of the Huaxia Pavilion, so he naturally needs to take charge of the pension matters.
"What did you do before?"
Zhou Shu said in deep thought.
In the more than a hundred years since he was gone, there must have been casualties in Huaxia Pavilion.
"We are doubling the pension according to Daxia standards."
Shi Songtao said that the previous standards were set by Yin Wuyou, and naturally they were based on Daxia's standards.
"Business as usual."
Zhou Shu said, and then added, "If their descendants have the talent for forging weapons and are willing to join the Huaxia Pavilion, then let them join the pavilion and you personally teach them the art of forging weapons."
Shi Songtao's expression was serious, he cupped his hands and said, "I would like to thank the Pavilion Master for everyone!"
"No need to thank me, this Huaxia Pavilion is not my Huaxia Pavilion." Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "Everyone has paid so much for Huaxia Pavilion, and this is what they deserve. You will be rewarded based on merit.
