Chapter 1407 Victory, The Thirty-Six Generals of the Ancient Heavenly Court (1)

Drip—

It was unknown if it was sweat or blood that fell from the sky and dripped onto the ground.

Blood had completely dyed the ground red.

Countless corpses and bloodied flesh were scattered on the ground.

It was like a purgatory.

In midair, there was a crowd of people.

These people were all breathing heavily and covered in wounds.

"We won!" Someone spoke first.

Then cheers shook the world.

"We won!"

"We forced back the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!"

"We did it!"

Everyone cheered. Some even cried tears of joy.

In this war, countless humans had sacrificed their lives. Countless of their brothers and friends had died at the hands of the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.

But they did it!

They had defended their home and forced back the invaders from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!

Everyone vented their suppressed emotions at this moment.

High in the air, Zhou Shu stood and looked in the direction of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.

He could vaguely sense an extremely powerful aura lingering in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. He felt a threat from this aura.

Zhou Shu could sense that if he entered the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom now, his life might be in danger. The Black Emperor of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom!

The Black Emperor was like a knife hanging over the heads of the human race.

Even though they had forced back the army of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, as long as the Black Emperor didn't die, the human race wouldn't be able to rest easy.

But the Black Emperor's strength was unfathomable. Zhou Shu knew that he wasn't his match yet.

"King Zhou." Lin Kedi arrived by Zhou Shu's side. "The army of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom has already been forced back. Our mission has been completed, right?"

Zhou Shu had hired Lin Kedi and his 10,000-strong army.

According to their agreement, after repelling the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom army, the agreement was over.

"Yes." Zhou Shu nodded. "You don't have to worry about the payment. I will pay you as soon as possible."

Previously, Zhou Shu really didn't have that many things.

But Zhou Shu had gained a lot from the trip to the Glacial Palace.

Just the galaxy divine sand was enough to pay for the mercenaries.

"King Zhou, that's not what I meant," Lin Kedi shook his head. "There's a lot you need to do now. You need the money. If it's inconvenient, it's not a problem to pay later."

Zhou Shu looked at Lin Kedi in surprise.

He had hired Lin Kedi and the others. They had come to help the human race fight for money.

Now, he actually took the initiative to say that he wasn't in a hurry to collect the payment?

This was interesting.

Lin Kedi felt a little embarrassed by Zhou Shu's gaze. He scratched his head and said, "King Zhou, I'm not very good with words, but after fighting side by side these few days, no matter what you think, in my heart, I, Lin Kedi, am already comrades with the human race.

"If there's anything you need me to do, I will definitely offer my help!"

Mu Letian, who had just walked over, pursed his lips when he heard what Lin Kedi said. Lin Kedi looks like a blockhead. I didn't expect him to be such a person! How is he not good with words?

Mu Letian took a step forward. "King Zhou, how should my people be arranged?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Shu turned to look at Mu Letian.

"His Majesty ordered me to listen to your orders, King Zhou," Mu Letian said. "He didn't say when we should go back. Without His Majesty's orders, we will stay here and listen to your orders, King Zhou."

"Is that so?" Zhou Shu pondered. That bastard Mu Zhixing is quite reliable in this aspect.

He would temporarily forgive him for what had happened in the Glacial Palace.

"Everyone has worked hard. Return to your camp and rest first." Zhou Shu glanced in the direction of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. Wang E was standing at the passageway between the two worlds with his sword.

With 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers, it was probably impossible for the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom to make a comeback.

Unless the Black Emperor personally took action, there was no need to worry about another war erupting for the time being.

The human race could finally rest in peace for a period of time.

But worry flashed across Zhou Shu's heart.

Previously, he had asked Wu Gang to deal with the Black Emperor. Now, he had already sensed the Black Emperor's aura, but Wu Gang didn't return. Could something have happened to him?

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case.

Wu Gang was a survivor of the Ancient Heavenly Court. He wouldn't die so easily.

Suppressing the worry in his heart, Zhou Shu turned to Lin Kedi. "General Lin, there's no hurry to leave for the time being. Now that the ancestral land has regained its safety, you can rest here.

"Thank you for your help. I'll arrange for someone to deliver the things I promised you later.

"If you want to forge any connate divine weapons, you can go to the Huaxia Pavilion."

After saying a few words, Zhou Shu sent the two of them away.

At this moment, Yin Wuyou, Mi Ziwen, and the others also walked over.

"How is everyone doing?" Zhou Shu asked in a low voice when he saw their gloomy expressions.

Mi Ziwen said with a heavy heart, "Senior Ji Lutian and the Qingqiu King died in battle. Senior Wang Xuanyi is seriously injured and unconscious.

"Yang Hong is also seriously injured, and his cultivation might be affected. Sun Gongping… Xiao Jianghe…"
