1397 The Heavenly Soldiers of the Ancient Heavenly Court (3)
“Big Brother.” Zhou Shu turned to Mi Ziwen. “I’ll leave them to you. I borrowed these sixty thousand people from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. You can use them without worry.”

Mi Ziwen understood. Since Zhou Shu said that he could use them without worry, he could treat them like he treated Lin Kedi and the others.

Everyone was overjoyed. An army of 60,000!

This was definitely a timely rain for the human race!

No matter how strong this 60,000-strong army was, even if it was similar to the strength of the human army, it was still a fresh force.

In the previous series of battles, be it the human race or Lin Kedi’s group of mercenaries, they were actually extremely exhausted.

They had been worried that if the next big battle began, they wouldn’t be able to hold on.

Now that a new army had joined them, they could finally heave a sigh of relief.

“Big Brother, from today onward, let this sixty-thousand-strong army be on guard against the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. The rest of you, spread out!” Zhou Shu asked solemnly.

“Spread out?” Mi Ziwen was puzzled.

“Ask them to help me find some people,” Zhou Shu said.

“Find people? Who are you looking for?” Mi Ziwen asked.

“I don’t know.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “There’s an army hidden in this ancestral land. Help me find them!”

“What?” Everyone’s expressions changed at the same time. Even Lin Kedi frowned.

An army is hidden in the ancestral land? Are they friend or foe? Lin Kedi had been here for a long time, and he unconsciously put himself in the shoes of the human race.

On the other hand, Mu Letian looked at everyone in surprise.

He had just arrived and didn’t understand why Zhou Shu didn’t hide anything from him when he arranged these things.

“Your Highness, how many people are in that army? Are they friend or foe?” Mi Ziwen asked in a low voice.

Now, all the human armies and demonic beasts of the Demon Realm were under his command.

Mi Ziwen had a list of all the people in the Ten Nations who could go to the battlefield.

He really didn’t expect an army would be in the ancestral land!

Could it be that they came from outside like the army from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom?

This was unlikely. If Zhou Shu knew that people had invaded, he definitely wouldn’t let them enter.

“I don’t know.” Zhou Shu shook his head.

Wu Gang only said that a group of heavenly soldiers of the Heavenly Court were left behind in the ancestral land. He didn’t say a word about how many of them there were, whether they were male or female, and their cultivation levels.

Zhou Shu naturally had no way of knowing.

“You don’t know?” Everyone looked at each other.

There were an unknown number of people. If they didn’t know if they were friend or foe, how could they find them?

“Your Highness, do they have any characteristics?” Yang Hong asked.

They all understood Zhou Shu. If not for the fact that the matter was very important, he wouldn’t have made such a big fuss at this time.

He knew the threat of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was right in front of them.

This army must be very important!

“No,” Zhou Shu said seriously. “I know nothing about this army. But there’s more than an eighty percent chance that they exist.”

Zhou Shu continued, “I want you to dig three feet into the ground. No matter what, you have to find them.

“This matter is of great importance. If we can find them, the threat of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom will naturally be resolved.”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
As long as they found that army, the threat of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom would be resolved?

One had to know that when the 60,000-strong army of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom arrived, they only felt that they could temporarily resist the attack of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.

It had never occurred to them that they could defeat the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.

But from what Zhou Shu said, as long as they could find the army hidden in the ancestral land, they would be able to defeat the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.

What kind of army made Zhou Shu so confident?

“I understand,” Mi Ziwen said solemnly. “I’ll arrange for the army to spread out. Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we will find anyone that looks unusual.”

Since he didn’t know how many people there were, nor did he know how many were males and how many were females, but since Zhou Shu said so, there must be something special about them.

Then they would find the other party according to these characteristics.

An army…

In the crowd, Great Xia’s Emperor Yuan Feng frowned.

“Father-in-Law, do you have any idea?” Zhou Shu’s ears twitched as he looked at Emperor Yuan Feng.

“I don’t think so.” Emperor Yuan Feng shook his head slightly. “The army you’re talking about should be living people, right?”

“What do you mean, Father-in-Law?” Zhou Shu was puzzled.

Emperor Yuan Feng shook his head. “It’s nothing. Just now, when you mentioned that there was a hidden army in the ancestral land, I suddenly remembered something. That matter shouldn’t have anything to do with what you said.”

“What is it? Father-in-Law, why don’t you tell me?” Zhou Shu’s heart stirred.

“Actually, it’s nothing.” Emperor Yuan Feng said. “Do you still remember Emperor Xuan? Emperor Xuan, the founder of Great Xia, had a fortuitous encounter before he founded the country.”

Zhou Shu nodded. Of course he remembered Emperor Xuan. When he was still in Great Xia, he had even cultivated the Emperor Xuan Jade Book.

Could Emperor Xuan’s fortuitous encounter be related to the remaining heavenly soldiers of the ancient Heavenly Court? Zhou Shu looked at Emperor Yuan Feng, waiting for him to continue.

“Emperor Xuan once accidentally entered a place. In that place, he saw some tomb statues,” Emperor Yuan Feng continued.

“Tomb statues?” Zhou Shu was stunned. “Terracotta soldiers?”

“Terracotta soldiers?” Emperor Yuan Feng nodded. “This name is very appropriate.

“According to Emperor Xuan, the terracotta statues he saw were vivid and lifelike. At the time, he was really shocked.

“Later, Xuan Xuan obtained the Emperor Xuan Jade Book there. After that, he advanced and established the foundation of Great Xia. It can be said that the reason Great Xia is where we are today is related to the ancestor’s fortuitous encounter back then.”

“Terracotta soldiers…” Zhou Shu fell into deep thought. If the heavenly soldiers were all sleeping, would they look no different from terracotta soldiers to outsiders?

In that case, it made sense that no one had seen the heavenly soldiers for so many years.

Because they had never walked outside!

But what were the cultivation levels of the remaining heavenly soldiers of the Ancient Heavenly Court?

After sleeping for so many years, were they dead or alive?

Zhou Shu asked, “Father-in-Law, do you know where Emperor Xuan had his fortuitous encounter back then?”
