Legendary Armament Canon Novel - Chapter 676

676 Don’t Want to Be a Deserter, Secret Mission (1)

“Your Highness, did you arrange for the sect master of the Demon supreme-ruler Sect to be with Yao Buqi to test him?”

In the camp of Two Region Mountain, Meng Bai looked at Zhou Shu and pondered.

“Testing him is just one of the reasons.”

After letting Sun Chuang and Yao Buqi leave, Zhou Shu had brought Xiaoyu’er back to the camp.

!!
As soon as he returned to the camp, he immediately gathered Meng Bai and the others.

“You don’t have to worry about Sun Chuang. I called you here for something important,” Zhou Shu said seriously. “I can send some people back to the Ten Nations Continent now!”

Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng, and the others were overjoyed.

“Can we go back now?”

They were all excited. Although it didn’t seem dangerous in the Demon Realm for the time being, they felt as though they were walking on a tightrope every day and didn’t dare to relax for a moment.

At any time, they might be surrounded by the Demon Realm army. That would be a calamity for them.

This pressure was simply incomparable to the pressure of preparing for war on the Ten Nations Continent.

“Don’t get ahead of yourselves.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “The Ten Nations Alliance still has thirty thousand people. It’s impossible for me to send everyone over.

“According to my estimates, I can only send back three hundred people at most.

“It’s just one percent of the total number of people. I gathered you to discuss who to send back!”

Zhou Shu could resolve the matter of Yao Buqi and Sun Chuang himself, and Meng Bai and the others wouldn’t be of much help either.

But he couldn’t make the decision on who to send back to the Ten Nations Continent.

Xiaoyu’er was growing up now, and she was growing up much faster than Zhou Shu had expected.

Perhaps if she went back and forth to the Ten Nations Continent once or twice, she would be too old to pass through the passage.

Xiaoyu’er’s grotto-heaven wasn’t big enough to hold too many people at once.

Three hundred people was already Zhou Shu’s optimistic estimate.

“One percent…” The smiles on Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng, and the others froze, and their hearts sank.

Returning to the Ten Nations Continent was equivalent to returning home safely. It would be safer in the future. At least until the barrier between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent completely disappeared, they wouldn’t be in too much danger.

But staying in the Demon Realm was a true life-and-death situation. They could fight to the death with demonic beasts at any time, and the chances of them surviving were almost zero.

Between life and death, they were very easy choices. If they could choose, not many people were willing to stay in the Demon Realm.

But now, Zhou Shu had given them a choice. One out of a hundred could obtain a chance to live and return home in glory!

This choice was too cruel.

“Generals, I don’t need to say anything else.” Zhou Shu’s gaze swept across Meng Bai and the others. “Whoever leaves or stays is up to you. Before sunrise tomorrow, I hope to see the name list.”

With that, Zhou Shu stood up and left the tent.

Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng, Tang Chengshi, Cao Chenyang, Zhang Wuyuan, and the others fell silent.

After a full fifteen minutes, Meng Bai slowly said, “I suggest that these three hundred spots be allocated to the various nations according to the existing number of people.”

There were 30,000 people in the Ten Nations Alliance in the Demon Realm, and each nation had a different number of people within the alliance. Allocating spots evenly would definitely not be reasonable.

“There’s no need to consider the Criminal Army,” Xiao Jianghe said solemnly. “We will be wherever His Highness is. We won’t go back.”

Meng Bai cupped his hands at Xiao Jianghe. At this moment, those who took the initiative to stay were definitely warriors.

“Great Qin will stay too.” Wang Mu smiled. “I was almost tempted by His Highness.

“I didn’t expect that I still can’t let go of life and death. For a moment just now, I actually wanted to return to the Ten Nations Continent.”

He spoke bluntly, and his eyes became very clear. As he spoke, his aura actually rose slightly.

Facing his dark side, Wang Mu’s mental state improved greatly. Even his cultivation had increased considerably.

“Great Zhao is not afraid of death,” Bai Qiancheng said coldly.

“You make it sound like anyone is afraid of death.” Tang Chengshi of Great Jin sneered. “Great Jin won’t leave either.”

The few of them looked at each other and chose to stay.

Meng Bai smiled bitterly. If they all did this, they wouldn’t even be able to use up the three hundred spots to return to the Ten Nations Continent!

“It’s not the time for everyone to be impulsive,” Meng Bai said. “Although it’s dangerous to stay, it might be dangerous to return.

“Didn’t you hear what His Highness said just now? On the Ten Nations Continent, the Demon supreme-ruler Sect is causing trouble, and a mysterious force has appeared. Even if we return, we might have to face a war.”

“In that case, let more people from Great Xia return,” Tang Chengshi said.

Meng Bai rolled his eyes. You make it sound like the people of Great Xia are greedy for life and afraid of death.

“Forget it. Let’s draw lots.” Meng Bai shook his head. “Those who are selected, go back. The rest of you stay. It’s fair and just. No one has anything to say.”

“Alright, let’s do this.” They all nodded.

…

On the other side, Zhou Shu arrived at the place where Lu Wenshuang was in seclusion.

His movements were very light, but the moment he entered, he could still sense Lu Wenshuang’s breathing quicken.

But her eyes remained closed. Only the blush on her face betrayed her feelings.

Zhou Shu smiled. Lu Wenshuang usually looked incomparably cold, but she was actually even shyer than Yin Wuyou. Are you embarrassed just like that?

He walked up to Lu Wenshuang and pulled her into his arms.

“Master.” Lu Wenshuang didn’t even dare to open her eyes.

Zhou Shu felt like he was about to explode when he heard her call him master.

“Ahhh~!”

A piece of clothing flew up, revealing her fair skin in front of Zhou Shu. His hands slid down to her slender waist. With a delicate cry, Lu Wenshuang was already under Zhou Shu.
