Chapter 180 Revival (2)

He turned around and said to Lu Wenshuang, “Guard the surroundings and don’t let anyone approach!”

Lu Wenshuang nodded in agreement.

Zhou Shu entered the carriage and pulled back the curtains.

Meng Bai, wrapped in a blanket, looked at Zhou Shu somewhat strangely.

“Did you find out the questions set by Great Qin?” Meng Bai said.

“Deputy Envoy Shi went to ask around.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Great General, I have something very important to ask you. Is it convenient here?”

“Just say it,” Meng Bai said. “My carriage is specially made. The soundproofing is quite

good.”

Zhou Shu nodded and lowered his voice., “Great General, I saw Shen Yue!”

“Shen Yue?” Meng Bai was a bit confused.

“The son of the minister of war of Great Wei, Shen Yue!”

“I know he’s the son of the minister of war,” Meng Bai said. “He was part of the diplomatic mission from Great Wei.”

Meng Bai knew the minister of war of Great Wei very well. Furthermore, he knew about the matter of Mi Ziwen, so he naturally knew that the minister of war had a son called Shen Yue.

“Great General, you know that I was abducted by Great Wei’s imperial preceptor once, right?” Zhou Shu said.

Meng Bai nodded, and his gaze naturally landed on the Great Destroyer Sword on Zhou Shu’s back.

“I saw with my own eyes that Shen Yue was killed by the Great Destroyer Sword,” Zhou Shu said solemnly.

“Are you sure?” Meng Bai’s expression also became serious. “Yes!” Zhou Shu said firmly.

“I want to know if there are any revival techniques in this world!” Zhou Shu asked again. He really wanted to know what was going on with Shen Yue!

If he really came back from the dead, would his secret be exposed?

Should he kill him again?

Meng Bai revealed a thoughtful expression and then shook his head. “To come back from the dead is unheard of.”

He had never heard of any resurrection technique.

Lu Wenshuang has never heard of one, nor has Meng Bai. Is there really no revival technique in this world? Zhou Shu furrowed his brows tightly. He had already started to plan to kill Shen Yue again!

The most important thing now was to confirm that if Shen Yue really came back from the dead, did he remember that Zhou Shu had killed him?

If he revealed his secret, how should he deal with it?

“Don’t worry about this first,” Meng Bai said. “Regardless of whether or not Shen Yue revived from the dead, this matter shouldn’t have happened recently.

“The fact that Great Wei didn’t make things difficult for Great Xia previously means that even if Shen Yue came back from the dead, there is still a big problem.

“In any case, the one who killed Shen Yue is the mysterious expert. No one can be sure if the mysterious expert is from Great Xia. Even if they want to seek revenge, they shouldn’t come after Great Xia.”

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes in his heart. Shen Yue won’t take revenge on Great Xia. He will take revenge on me.

If Shen Yue came back to life and remembered how he died, then he would definitely remember who killed him.

Under these circumstances, wouldn’t it be obvious who Shen Yue would find for revenge?

“I’ll find a way to investigate this matter. You don’t have to worry about him now,” Meng Bai continued. “Just do your job well. This time, even if Xiao Shunzhi personally takes action, there is no way he can kidnap you.”

Zhou Shu was speechless. Was worried that Great Wei would kidnap him?

It would be fine if they really abducted him. He would kill them again.

But since Shen Yue came back from the dead, could Xiao Shunzhi have also come back to life?

Zhou Shu suddenly remembered that the news of the death of Great Wei’s Imperial Preceptor Xiao Shunzhi had never spread.

Moreover, Great Xia didn’t seem to have collected Xiao Shunzhi’s corpse back then.

Back in You Prefecture, after killing Xiao Shunzhi, he had been busy saving the princess and Sun Gongping and hadn’t thought of destroying his corpse to erase all traces.

Now that he thought about it, he was indeed a little hasty back then.

Something’s not right, Zhou Shu thought.

He remembered that after Xiao Shunzhi’s death, his Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber was still left at the scene. But afterward, he didn’t hear that Great Xia had obtained the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber.

If Great Xia really obtained a heaven-grade weapon, he would have definitely heard about

Could Xiao Shunzhi also not be dead?

No, it’s impossible for him not to die. The Legendary Armament Canon gave me feedback about it.

He might have come back from the dead!

What kind of secret is Great Wei hiding that can allow people to come back from the dead?

If they really mastered such a technique, wouldn’t they be invincible?

Does this method have something to do with the situation of the You and Bing prefectures? Zhou Shu recalled that when Great Wei suddenly lost the You and Bing prefectures to Great Xia, it was a little strange. If not for Zhou Shu unraveling the fog of the You and Bing prefectures, perhaps no one would have been able to walk out alive.

Zhou Shu frowned as he pondered.

Then Shi Songtao’s voice came from outside. “Marquis, Great General, I’ve already asked about the questions set up by Great Qin.”

Meng Bai patted Zhou Shu on the shoulder and said, “Alright, let’s not think about Shen Yue for now. Let’s deal with the diplomatic mission first.”

Zhou Shu nodded. He opened the curtain of the carriage. “How do they want to play?”

Shi Songtao’s expression darkened. Is this a game? “Great Qin has set up a total of nine checkpoints from Hangu Pass to Great Qin’s capital. If the diplomatic mission from each country wants to reach Great Qin’s capital, they have to clear all the checkpoints.

“Those who can make it to the capital of Great Qin are qualified to compete for the host of the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament. If not, they will be eliminated.

“According to their rules, the diplomatic missions of the various countries can only send nine people to pass through the checkpoints at most. The others will wait outside Hangu Pass, or they can head to Great Qin’s capital to wait.”

Shi Songtao briefly explained the procedure.

Zhou Shu and Meng Bai both frowned.

The diplomatic mission had to be divided into two groups?

At most, nine people would go and challenge the checkpoints, but the rest couldn’t tag along?

Wouldn’t this mean that the challengers couldn’t bring any guards with them? What if the process was dangerous?

“Challenging the trial is voluntary, at our own risk,” Shi Songtao continued.

Meng Bai frowned. Zhou Shu’s significance to Great Xia was extraordinary. If he went with the diplomatic mission to Great Qin, the danger would be within control.

But if they were separated, the danger would be completely uncontrollable.

If something happened to Zhou Shu, even if Great Xia obtained the rights to host the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, it wouldn’t be worth it.

Meng Bai followed the diplomatic mission, disregarding his own condition, to ensure that nothing unexpected happened to Zhou Shu.

If necessary, he even decided to use himself as bait to ensure Zhou Shu’s safety.

Meng Bai, Great Xia’s God of War, was enough to attract all the firepower. As long as he appeared, the enemy would probably focus their attention on him. At that time, Zhou Shu’s chances of escaping would greatly increase.

But now that Great Qin was playing this game, his plans were completely disrupted.

For nine people to challenge the trial, there had to be a Forging Master among them. After all, the setup of the checkpoints was related to forging. This way, how many guards could he place among the nine?

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Great Xia to send a first-rank martial artist to protect Zhou Shu and the others.

A first-rank martial artist protecting a Forging Master? Wasn’t that telling the enemy how important Zhou Shu was?

Wouldn’t the enemy try to kill him?

For a while, Meng Bai was a bit hesitant. Should they continue forward, or should they give up now and return home?

As Meng Bai pondered, he heard Zhou Shu ask, “Did they say what the nine checkpoints are?” “I don’t know the rest, but the first checkpoint is to identify forging materials,” Shi Songtao said.

“Great Qin has set up an army camp in Hangu Pass. There are various forging materials in the camp. The first task is to choose some forging materials and bring them along.

“The first checkpoint’s forging materials will be the foundation for the next few checkpoints. There won’t be any more opportunities to replenish the materials later on. If the need to forge arises, you can only use the materials obtained from the first checkpoint.

“I feel like we have to select as many materials as possible during the first checkpoint. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if we don’t have enough materials.”
