742 Shameless (1)

“Teacher, something’s wrong!”

In the camp of the Ten Nations Alliance, Mi Ziwen looked at Meng Bai solemnly.

“Great Qin’s elite soldiers have begun to retreat, but they didn’t even inform us.”

Meng Bai’s expression was also a little ugly. Putting aside the people of the grotto-heavens, Great Qin’s elite soldiers should be allies. But now, the allied army didn’t inform them when they retreated. In addition, Zhou Shu had been taken away. No matter how slow Meng Bai’s reaction was, he understood that something must have happened that he didn’t know.

!!

“Where’s Wang Mu?” Meng Bai asked solemnly.

“Great General Wang is still in the camp,” Mi Ziwen said in a low voice. “Xu Shi and the others retreated without informing General Wang.”

Swish!

Before Mi Ziwen could finish speaking, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and Wang Mu walked in with an ugly expression.

“Wang Mu!” Meng Bai looked at Wang Mu solemnly.

Wang Mu also looked at Meng Bai, his eyes filled with pain. “We were abandoned.

“Xu Shi retreated. I wanted to ask him about it, but I found that we can’t get out now.”

“We can’t get out?” Mi Ziwen was stunned. When he heard that Great Qin had retreated, he immediately came to find Meng Bai and didn’t notice anything else.

“That’s right. The camp of the Ten Nations Alliance is now sealed off by a special force, and we can’t get out,” Wang Mu said in a low voice. His expression was very complicated. From the looks of it, Xu Shi’s sudden withdrawal must have something to do with their being locked down.

He, Wang Mu, was Great Qin’s great general. But now, Great Qin had abandoned him. This made Wang Mu both angry and pained.

He couldn’t understand why the Qin emperor did this.

“It looks like something really happened that we don’t know about,” Meng Bai said solemnly. “We may already be in danger! Mi Ziwen!”

“Here!” Mi Ziwen cupped his hands.

“Pass down the order. Everyone, get ready for battle!” Meng Bai shouted. “If anyone thinks that our alliance army is weak and a pushover, we’ll let them know the truth!”

The Ten Nations Alliance army had experienced the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield and the series of battles in the Demon Realm. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the most elite army of the human race.

Apart from their overall cultivation being inferior to the people of the grotto-heaven, their combat quality definitely far exceeded theirs.

“Yes!” Mi Ziwen left with his orders.

Meng Bai looked at Wang Mu and said in a deep voice, “Great General Wang, what do you plan to do now?”

This matter was definitely related to Great Qin. No matter what, Wang Mu was a general of Great Qin. Meng Bai’s words were asking Wang Mu how he planned to treat Great Qin.

If Wang Mu chose to be blindly loyal to Great Qin, Meng Bai wouldn’t say anything. But he wouldn’t treat the soldiers of Great Qin in the alliance army as his comrades anymore.

“Do you think I have a choice?” Wang Mu smiled bitterly. “My life and death are not important, but there are other Great Qin soldiers here!

“We fought our way from the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield to the Demon Realm and then from the Demon Realm to here. Why should the nation abandon them? I want to ask the Qin emperor why all of this is happening!”

“There’s no need to ask. I can tell you why!” A voice suddenly sounded.

Meng Bai and Wang Mu were shocked at the same time.

This was the camp of the alliance army. Someone had actually come to their tent without alerting the army outside!

A breeze blew past, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Meng Bai’s and Wang Mu’s pupils constricted, and they exclaimed almost at the same time, “It’s you!”

“It’s me.” Zheng Yongtai nodded slightly.

“Why?” Wang Mu stared at Zheng Yongtai.

He knew Zheng Yongtai. Previously, Zhou Shu had chatted with Zheng Yongtai and someone from another grotto-heaven in front of the military camp for a long time.

At the time, looking at the atmosphere, no one would have thought that the people of the grotto-heavens would take Zhou Shu away.

“Now, you are suspected of colluding with the Demon Realm, so you must be investigated,” Zheng Yongtai said indifferently. “I came to tell you not to resist. If the conclusion of the investigation shows that it has nothing to do with you, you will regain your freedom. If you resist, it will only show that you are guilty. At that time, I’m afraid all of you will die.”

Meng Bai and Wang Mu looked furious at the same time.

“We colluded with the Demon Realm?!” Wang Mu shouted angrily. “How many times have we fought with the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm? There were hundreds of thousands of people back then, but there are less than ten thousand left now. Who dares to say that we colluded with the Demon Realm?! This is an insult to us!”

How could he not be angry? The Ten Nations Alliance was irreconcilable with the Demon Realm army. They had fought for so long. Could it be that what they exchanged for was only the suspicion of the human race?

Meng Bai was also furious. He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never thought of this one.

No matter how imaginative he was, he would have never imagined that one day, he would be suspected of colluding with the Demon Realm!

“Sir, we fought to survive in the Demon Realm. There were hundreds of thousands of people back then, but there are only a few thousand left now. Countless soldiers died in battle. What makes you think we colluded with the Demon Realm?” Meng Bai asked with a deep voice.

Zheng Yongtai’s expression didn’t change as he said indifferently, “The truth isn’t told by you. We will naturally investigate. What you have to do now is give up resisting and accept the investigation.

“If it’s true, it can’t be fake. If you’re innocent, we won’t wrong you. But if you really did it, don’t even think about hiding it!

“In the eyes of our grotto-heavens, we can’t tolerate the existence of any traitors!”
