747 Offending Him Might Be The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven's Greatest Mistake (2)
"Who said I wanted to escape?" Zhou Shu looked at Tang Shiyi, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"I had no grudges with the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven in the past. But you actually want to murder me for a Divine Stone! My daughter died in your hands, so I'll make everyone in your Tang family dies with her!"
Zhou Shu's expression was a little crazy. He was not a murderous person to begin with. Even when facing demonic beasts, he couldn't be bothered to kill them sometimes.
But this time, the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had touched his bottom line.
At the thought that Xiaoyu'er might have already died at the hands of the people of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, Zhou Shu felt a sharp pain in his heart and was about to go crazy.
This time, he would definitely not let this matter rest!
Even if the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was the main force resisting the demonic beasts, Zhou Shu wouldn't care!
Demonic beasts were enemies. No matter how much they fought, Zhou Shu wouldn't be so angry. But the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven were humans. He had once fantasized about becoming allies with them!
"Make my Tang family die with her? Kid, I advise you to know your place." Tang Shiyi sneered. "Do you think you have the right to say such things just because you ambushed me?
"You can't even walk out of this torture chamber, yet you still dare to boast so shamelessly! Do you really think my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven's Tang family is a pushover?"
"You're the one boasting shamelessly." Zhou Shu sat cross-legged and felt the power in his body recede like a tide. The effect of the divine ability Total Annihilation had passed, and he had entered a weakened state again.
But he wasn't in a hurry. Tang Shiyi was chained up, and no one else would come to this torture chamber except Tang Shiyi.
Simply put, this torture chamber was the safest place in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven for Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu ignored Tang Shiyi and waited for his cultivation to recover.
Tang Shiyi seemed to notice Zhou Shu's abnormality, but he was chained up by the Divine Lock Chain, and his cultivation was completely sealed. His entire body was so weak that he had no strength at all.
The Divine Lock Chain was a connate divine weapon of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. It was specially used to lock up Grotto-Heaven experts.
Not only could it seal spiritual essence, but it could also seal the mental strength of Grotto-Heaven experts.
The current Tang Shiyi was weaker than an ordinary person. How could he hurt Zhou Shu?
The two of them, one sitting and the other lying, were deep in thought.
As time passed, there was suddenly a knock on the door outside the torture chamber.
"Shiyi, how's the interrogation going?" Tang Qi's voice came from outside the thick iron door.
Tang Shiyi was delighted. Just as he was about to shout, he saw Zhou Shu suddenly open his eyes, and a light landed on Tang Shiyi.
Then Tang Shiyi couldn't make another sound.
What happened next made Tang Shiyi's eyes widen, and his heart was in turmoil.
If he could speak, he would have shouted, "That's impossible!"
In front of him, the light enveloping Zhou Shu gradually disappeared, revealing an incomparably familiar face.
It was him, Tang Shiyi!
Seeing that not only had Zhou Shu transformed into him, but even his aura had become identical to his, Tang Shiyi's eyes went from shock to panic and finally to fear.
"This kid is very stubborn, but it doesn't matter. I'll pry his mouth open."
When Tang Shiyi heard 'Tang Shiyi' speak in the exact same voice as his, the fear in his eyes intensified.
"Give me half a day, and I'll make him talk," 'Tang Shiyi' continued.
"Alright!" Tang Qi's voice came, and then footsteps sounded, getting farther and farther away.
Tang Shiyi shouted in his head. Stop, stop!
But he couldn't make a sound at all. It was impossible for Tang Qi to hear the voice in his head.
'Tang Shiyi' turned to look at Tang Shiyi and said, "Tang Shiyi, do you think Tang Qi and Tang San will recognize me if I walk out now?
"Tang San and Tang Qi should be your brothers. If Tang Shiyi suddenly attacks them, how confident do you think they are in avoiding it?"
Tang Shiyi was furious. The fake Tang Shiyi had ulterior motives and planned to cause trouble. The consequences were unimaginable!
"I forgot. You can't talk," Zhou Shu said coldly. "Don't worry. I won't kill you yet.
"I'll execute the leader first. Didn't you say that your Tang family isn't to be trifled with? I'll let you see how I'll make your Tang family disappear from this world!"
"Wuwu…" Tang Shiyi struggled with all his might, but his cultivation was sealed by the Divine Lock Chain, and his voice was sealed by Zhou Shu. Not only could he not move, but he couldn't even make a sound.
"Oh yes, I almost forgot." Zhou Shu suddenly reached out his hand. His fingertip lit up and pointed at Tang Shiyi.
Just as Tang Shiyi was wondering what he was doing, he saw Zhou Shu reach out and circle his hand. A light screen appeared in front of him like a mirror.
Seeing the scene on the light screen, Tang Shiyi felt like he was going crazy.
What he saw was not his own appearance but Zhou Shu's!
Not only did this bastard turn into me, but he even turned me into him! What kind of divine ability is this?! Tang Shiyi roared in his heart. He suddenly thought that if his brothers treated him as Zhou Shu, then…
Tang Shiyi panicked at the thought that he might die at the hands of his brothers one day.
He would rather die at Zhou Shu's hands than be treated as Zhou Shu by his brothers and killed.
Under Tang Shiyi's terrified gaze, Zhou Shu raised his head and pulled a strand of hair from his head.
Then the hair instantly turned into a white light that enveloped Zhou Shu.
Looking at Zhou Shu, Tang Shiyi felt even more flustered.
He even felt his hair stand on end. He suddenly felt that it was a huge mistake for them to provoke Zhou Shu.
But it was too late to regret now.
Zhou Shu's body was enveloped by the white light. He was using the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique again.
The news that Xiaoyu'er might have been killed by the Tang family of the Xuling Grotto-Heaven agitated Zhou Shu greatly.
He didn't even hesitate to use the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique on Tang Shiyi!
Zhou Shu knew very well that with his current strength, he couldn't sweep through the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
But he had to take revenge for Xiaoyu'er. Moreover, he couldn't wait. He wanted to take revenge immediately!
Tang Shiyi was his chance!
Under Tang Shiyi's bewildered and uneasy gaze, the white light on Zhou Shu's body gradually disappeared.
Then Zhou Shu opened his eyes. Countless scenes flashed through his pupils. At this moment, Zhou Shu suddenly slapped Tang Shiyi's face.
Thump!
Tang Shiyi, who was unable to fight back, was sent flying more than ten feet away and hit the wall of the torture chamber again.
Blood flowed out of Tang Shiyi's mouth, and even tears appeared in his eyes.
Tang Shiyi had never been so humiliated since he was born.
Pada!
Zhou Shu waved his arm. A clear five-fingered mark instantly appeared on both sides of Tang Shiyi's face and began to swell.
Tears finally flowed from Tang Shiyi's eyes. A gentleman could be killed but not humiliated!
Kill me if you want. You can't insult me like this!
Zhou Shu punched and kicked Tang Shiyi until his face was swollen. He only stopped when even he couldn't recognize him.
"Tang Shiyi, you're really a beast." Zhou Shu snorted in confusion. "Do you think Tang Qi will kill you if he finds out that you slept with his favorite concubine?
"You think you're better than others, and you don't take the lives of ordinary martial artists seriously. You yourself are full of nonsense! People like you are simply a waste of food!"
If not for the fact that he was still useful, Zhou Shu would have stomped him to death!
Tang Shiyi, who was already crying from the beating, widened his eyes. How does he know about this?!
748 Xiaoyu'er Is Not Dead, Beat Them Until They're Convinced (1)
Tang Shiyi would never know how Zhou Shu knew his greatest secret.
After Zhou Shu struck his neck heavily, he fell unconscious.
Then Zhou Shu opened the thick iron door and passed through a long, narrow, dark passage to the door of the torture chamber.
"Someone, invite Fifth Master over," Zhou Shu instructed in Tang Shiyi's voice.
!!
After entering the Tang Shiyi dream, Zhou Shu already had a basic understanding of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
The Tang family of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was the family of the master of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Tang Qianluo, Tang San, Tang Qi, Tang Shiyi, and Tang Shiliu were all descendants of the master of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
Now that the master of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was not out, the family head of the Tang family took care of everything in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
The current head of the Tang family was Tang Qianluo.
Tang San, Tang Qi, Tang Shiyi, and Tang Shiliu were all brothers of Tang Qianluo's generation, and they were all Grotto-Heaven experts.
The fifth master that Zhou Shu had asked someone to call over was Tang Wu, the man who had taken out Xiaoyu'er's Longevity Lock!
A moment later, Tang Wu arrived at the door of the torture chamber. He asked doubtfully, "Eleventh Brother, why are you looking for me? Did Zhou Shu confess?"
Zhou Shu said, "I called you over because I want to ask you for a small favor."
"You need my help?" Tang Wu was a little surprised, but he didn't think too much about it. He said casually, "What do you want me to do? I don't know how to interrogate people."
"It's not that. Fifth Brother, follow me." Zhou Shu shook his head and walked into the torture chamber first.
Tang Wu didn't suspect anything. It had to be said that perhaps because these people lived in sealed grotto-heavens, their vigilance was too low.
Of course, it was also because they didn't expect there to be a heaven-defying divine ability like Myriad Transformations in this world.
Under normal circumstances, even if someone was good at disguising themselves, it was almost impossible to deceive a Grotto-Heaven expert.
Tang Wu followed Zhou Shu into the torture chamber.
The torture tools in the torture chamber had all been shattered by the shock waves of the battle between Zhou Shu and Tang Shiyi. Now, other than 'Zhou Shu' lying on the ground, there was nothing here.
Zhou Shu first turned around and closed the thick iron door. Although Tang Wu was a little puzzled, he didn't take it to heart.
He would never have dreamed that Zhou Shu had closed the door to deal with him.
After all, in his eyes, Zhou Shu was no different from Tang Shiyi in terms of appearance and aura.
"Eleventh Brother, has Zhou Shu confused? Nothing else matters. We must find the Divine Stone," Tang Wu said. "After we find the Divine Stone, the family head's cultivation will improve further. Now that the grotto-heavens have appeared, there will definitely be a lot of competition in the future. The higher the family head's cultivation is, the more initiative we will have in the future."
Tang Wu spoke casually, and Zhou Shu agreed casually.
Although he had once entered the Tang Shiyi dream, he had yet to grasp all the secrets of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
After all, his Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique only allowed him to enter a dream for a hundred years, while Tang Shiyi and the others were actually more than a hundred years old.
Moreover, although Tang Shiyi was a Grotto-Heaven expert, he was not among the top group of people in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. He actually didn't know many secrets.
"This kid hid the Divine Stone in a secret place, but I've already made him reveal it," Zhou Shu said. "I called you over this time because I wanted you to find that Divine Stone."
"Me?" Tang Wu said with interest. "Why do you want me to go? Isn't it the same if you go?"
"Because the place where the Divine Stone is hidden has something to do with you, Fifth Brother," Zhou Shu said.
"What does it have to do with me?" Tang Wu was even more puzzled. He thought about it carefully, but he couldn't understand what Zhou Shu meant. "What do you mean?"
"Let me explain it to you, Fifth Brother," Zhou Shu said while approaching Tang Wu.
His voice was getting softer and softer. Tang Wu subconsciously tilted his head toward Zhou Shu, wanting to hear what he wanted to say.
"Fifth Brother, didn't you kill Zhou Shu's daughter?" Zhou Shu said in an almost inaudible voice.
"Yes—"
Before he could finish speaking, he heard a crashing sound.
Tang Wu was immediately alarmed. Almost without hesitation, the spiritual essence in his body exploded.
But just as his spiritual essence rose halfway, it went silent like a car turning off.
Chains instantly wrapped around Tang Wu tightly. The chains emitted a powerful light that penetrated Tang Wu's body and locked his spiritual essence tightly.
"Eleventh Brother, what are you doing?" Tang Wu shouted at Zhou Shu in shock and anger.
"What am I doing?" Zhou Shu smiled faintly. "Fifth Brother, can't you tell? Of course I locked you up."
"Rubbish!" Tang Wu was furious. "Why are you using the Divine Lock Chain to joke with me? Hurry up and undo it! This Divine Lock Chain was our ancestor's divine weapon back then. Do you think it's funny? I can't break free!"
"It's impossible to undo it." Zhou Shu shook his head. "Fifth Brother, why don't you tell me how you killed Zhou Shu's daughter first?"
749 Xiaoyu'er Is Not Dead, Beat Them Until They're Convinced (2)
Zhou Shu didn't immediately reveal his identity.
When he entered the Tang Shiyi dream, Zhou Shu had found out that the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was stronger than he had imagined. He had to be on guard against Tang Wu's special divine ability.
What if he could send messages outside?
Although the possibility of that was extremely low, getting Tang Wu to think that he had died at Tang Shiyi's hands was also a form of revenge.
Tang Wu should feel even more aggrieved if he was killed by his trusted brother.
Zhou Shu's heart ached when he thought of the little girl who had hugged his thigh and called him daddy.
Xiaoyu'er was just a child. How could Tang Wu bear to kill her?!
"Shiyi, I'll say it again. Undo it!" Tang Wu berated loudly.
Pa!
Before he could finish, he froze. "How dare you hit me?"
Pa!
Another slap to the other side of his face.
Pa pa pa—
Zhou Shu waved his hand and slapped Tang Wu's face over and over.
The slaps couldn't hurt Tang Wu, but the humiliation stunned him.
"Remember, I'm the one asking questions," Zhou Shu said coldly. "I'll ask you a question. If you don't answer, I'll continue to beat you until you answer.
"Don't expect anyone to save you. No one will come to this torture chamber without my summons."
Tang Wu's facial features were about to squeeze together. He was furious. Anger almost burned him. "Tang Shiyi! You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
Pa!
Another slap sent Tang Shiyi flying.
"Don't say anything unrelated, or I'll still slap you," Zhou Shu said coldly.
"You…" Tang Wu's eyes widened. If looks could kill, Zhou Shu would have been killed countless times.
"Let me ask you again. Did you kill Zhou Shu's daughter?" Zhou Shu said coldly, his eyes filled with killing intent.
"Tang Shiyi, are you crazy? Are you doing this to me just to ask that question?" Tang Wu struggled. "Yes, she wanted to escape. I killed her. Is there a problem? It was an order from the family head!"
Pa!
Another slap landed on Tang Wu's face. The force of this slap was so great that his face was almost deformed.
Tang Wu was about to go crazy. He spat out a tooth and said angrily, "You hit me whether I speak or not. What exactly do you want?!"
"You can even kill a little girl. A beast like you shouldn't live in this world!" Zhou Shu said coldly. He approached Tang Wu step by step and grabbed his neck from behind.
Tang Wu felt the force on his neck increase, and it became difficult for him to breathe.
At this moment, he finally realized that Tang Shiyi really wanted to kill him!
This was something he had never dreamed of happening. At this moment, he really panicked.
His eyes were full of fear.
"Tang Shiyi, if you dare to kill me, the family head will definitely not let you go. At that time, not only you, but your descendants will all die!" Tang Wu struggled. "Stop it. I can pretend that nothing has happened. I'll forgive you!"
He didn't want to die.
The grotto-heavens had just appeared in the world. There were still many things that Tang Wu had yet to do. How could he die in this small torture chamber at the hands of his brother?
Zhou Shu was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard Tang Wu's voice. The strength in his hand kept increasing, and he was about to break Tang Wu's neck.
"Stop! Stop!" Tang Wu shouted hoarsely. "That little girl isn't dead!"
Zhou Shu frowned slightly and stopped what he was doing.
"She's not dead?" Hope rose in Zhou Shu's heart.
Tang Wu saw hope and said loudly, "Yes, she's not dead! She's really not dead!"
Although he didn't know why Tang Shiyi wanted to kill him, his brother, for a little girl, Tang Wu was now certain that he cared about the little girl's life.
Without waiting for Zhou Shu to ask, Tang Wu continued, "I did want to kill that little girl, but at the last moment, she suddenly erupted with strength and escaped.
"For the sake of my pride, I didn't tell the truth. Actually, I really couldn't kill her! In the end, she was saved by a divine weapon."
Tang Wu's face flushed red.
Afraid that Zhou Shu wouldn't believe him, he struggled to explain, "If you don't believe me, I can swear. I swear by the Great Dao that if I, Tang Wu, am lying, I will never have the chance to cultivate the Great Dao and live forever!"
Tang Wu's words made Zhou Shu gradually restrain the killing intent in his eyes.
The biggest reason he wanted to start a massacre in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was because of Xiaoyu'er's death.
Now that he heard that she might not be dead, the killing intent in his heart decreased by more than half.
But he didn't believe Tang Wu completely.
"You said she was saved by a divine weapon. What does that divine weapon look like?" Zhou Shu asked coldly.
Xiaoyu'er had never used a divine weapon before. She was too young, and Zhou Shu had actually always overlooked this factor of her strength, so he had forgotten to equip her with a divine weapon.
"It's a sword!" Tang Wu said without hesitation.
He was really afraid that Tang Shiyi would go crazy again. Even if he didn't die, he couldn't stand being slapped by him.
Tang Wu obediently described the appearance of the sword.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. Why does it sound like the Longevity Sword?
Ever since the Longevity Sword flew away from Yuheng Valley, Zhou Shu had had no news of it.
When danger arrived, Shi Changsheng ran away shamelessly and disloyally.
Later, Zhou Shu had used Shi Changsheng's identity to do a few major things in the Demon Realm. He had the intention to annoy Shi Changsheng.
If Shi Changsheng really saved Xiaoyu'er, then Zhou Shu owed him a favor.
"I'll believe you for now and spare your life," Zhou Shu said coldly.
Tang Wu heaved a long sigh of relief. "Shiyi, why are you making such a fuss over a little girl?
"If I had known that you liked her, I would have caught her for you.
"Let me go, and I won't blame you for this misunderstanding. After all, everyone can be confused sometimes."
Pa!
A slap landed on Tang Wu's face, and the right side of his face swelled.
He looked incredulous. Why did you hit me again? This is too much!
Zhou Shu's eyes were cold as he looked at Tang Wu. "If you dare to spout nonsense again, I will kill you.
"Remember, your life isn't yours yet. You'd better keep your mouth shut when I don't want you to talk."
Zhou Shu picked up Tang Wu and threw him over to Tang Shiyi.
But Tang Wu didn't know that it was Tang Shiyi. In his eyes, it was Zhou Shu, whom Tang Shiyi had tortured.
Zhou Shu sat down in the torture chamber with a thoughtful expression.
Xiaoyu'er wasn't dead. This was great news.
But this didn't mean that the matter between Zhou Shu and the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had been resolved.
Since the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had captured him for undeserved crimes, they might even capture the Ten Nations Alliance. Zhou Shu couldn't tolerate this.
He had risked his life with the Ten Nations Alliance in the Demon Realm, but he was slandered by the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven for colluding with the Demon Realm. This was an insult to his comrades who had died fighting in the Demon Realm.
Moreover, why did the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven act so high and mighty and convict others as if they were the ruler of the world?
The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven wasn't the ruler of the human race. It was not their place to control Zhou Shu!
Originally, he was full of anger and wanted to start a massacre in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. According to his original plan, anyone surnamed Tang deserved to die.
But if Xiaoyu'er wasn't dead, there was no need to start a massacre.
It was easy to kill people, but if he really killed everyone from the Tang family of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, he would really offend the grotto-heavens to death. The other grotto-heavens might not tolerate him.
Even if I don't kill anyone, I will make the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven fear for their lives. I will make you know that I, Zhou Shu, am not a pushover. The Ten Nations are not pushovers either! It's fine if the grotto-heavens appear, but if you want to act high and mighty and bully others, you're dreaming!
I don't care if the grotto-heavens appear. If you behave properly, everything will be fine. But if you want to lord it over, I'll beat you until you know your place!
750 This Is Too Unskilled (1)
There was a mountain peak towering into the clouds in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
On the mountain peak, palaces stretched on and on, decorated with carved beams and painted buildings. It was like a fairyland.
This was where the Tang family of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven lived.
It was also the supreme place of the entire Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
There were hundreds of millions of people in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Although there were no nations, there were still cities. These cities were directly subordinate to the Tang family.
The Tang family could be considered the imperial family of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
As for the head of the Tang family, he was the emperor of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
In the era when the master of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven didn't appear, the head of the Tang family was an existence that could do whatever he wanted.
Tang Qianluo was the current head of the Tang family.
Previously, he had personally gone to ask Zhou Shu for the Divine Stone. In his opinion, he had already given Zhou Shu enough face.
But since Zhou Shu was ungrateful, he couldn't blame him for taking some measures.
But dealing with Zhou Shu was not worthy of Tang Qianluo personally taking action. He only gave the orders. His subordinates would naturally take care of the details.
At this moment, Tang Qianluo had long put Zhou Shu's matter aside. He was currently receiving guests from the Sima Grotto-Heaven.
"Brother Zheng, you've come out of seclusion?" Tang Qianluo smiled gracefully. "Brother Zheng, your cultivation has improved. Congratulations."
"What's there to congratulate?" A middle-aged man opposite him shook his head. "The higher your cultivation, the faster you die."
Tang Qianluo: "…"
"Family Head Tang, I'm not here to chat with you. I'm here on official business," the middle-aged man continued.
"Brother Ji, do you want to say it, or should I?" The middle-aged man turned to someone beside him.
The person beside him was Ji Lutian.
Ji Lutian was thin, and his face was slightly pale, but his demeanor was still graceful. He smiled and said, "Let me explain."
He cupped his hands at Tang Qianluo. "Brother Tang, long time no see."
Tang Qianluo's expression was cold as he glanced at Ji Lutian. "Long time no see. Tell me. Why are you here?"
"I'm here to ask you for a favor." Ji Lutian was not angry at Tang Qianluo's coldness. "Zhou Shu has some relationship with me. I don't know how he offended you, but I apologize to you on his behalf. I hope you can be magnanimous."
"Sir Ji," Tang Qianluo interrupted Ji Lutian before he could finish. "Zhou Shu didn't offend me. I asked someone to bring him back because he colluded with the Demon Realm and wanted to subvert our human race.
"This isn't a personal grudge. It's righteousness!
"If he was just rude to me, do you think I would be so petty as to argue with a junior?"
Tang Qianluo raised his head. "You're underestimating me too much!"
The middle-aged man who came with Ji Lutian pursed his lips, his eyes indifferent.
Ji Lutian's expression didn't change as he cupped his hands. "I misspoke.
"I wonder how the investigation is going, Family Head Tang? If you need my cooperation, I will definitely cooperate fully," Ji Lutian said seriously. "I have seen all of Zhou Shu's actions in the Demon Realm. This young man might not be very prudent, but he didn't collude with the Demon Realm and betray the human race."
"How can I trust you?" Tang Qianluo said coldly. "Who are you to say that?"
"Family Head Tang, you're going overboard," the man surnamed Zheng, who had come with Ji Lutian, said unhappily. "Brother Ji has personally guaranteed it. Do you not trust him?"
"That's right. I just can't trust him," Tang Qianluo said coldly. "I knew from the beginning that Zhou Shu was chosen by Ji Lutian. But you, Ji Lutian, are not clean yourself. How can the person you chose be clean?
"If you want me to let Zhou Shu go, then please leave. I won't let him go until I find out the truth!"
"Tang Qianluo!" the man surnamed Zheng shouted, his expression ugly. "Do you know what you're saying? Brother Ji isn't clean? Open your eyes and take a good look!"
"Zheng Chengan!" Tang Qianluo's expression turned cold. "This isn't your Sima Grotto-Heaven. If you think you can behave atrociously in my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, you're wrong!"
Both of them were emitting powerful auras, like two volcanoes that could erupt at any moment.
Ji Lutian shook his head with a bitter smile. He rubbed his glabella with a headache and said, "Brother Zheng, calm down."
Then he cupped his hands at Tang Qianluo. "Family Head Tang, your ideas are different from mine. It's reasonable for you to suspect me. This is also why I came.
"If you suspect me in any way, I will give you an explanation. It's the same with Zhou Shu.
"It's normal for our ideas to be different. But Family Head Tang, we're all humans, and our ultimate goals are the same. We mustn't hurt each other's feelings just because of a misunderstanding."
"Hmph, I wouldn't dare to get close to you." Tang Qianluo snorted. "I've already said what I needed to say. If you're here to drink and catch up with me, I welcome you. If it's anything else, you can leave now!"
Tang Qianluo flicked his sleeves and opened the door to send them off.
Zheng Chengan was furious. "Tang Qianluo, you're not even giving me this bit of face?"
751 This Is Too Unskilled (2)
"Zheng Chengan, I'm giving you face by calling you Brother Zheng. If I'm not giving you face, you're a nobody! There's no need for you to interfere in the matters of my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven!" Tang Qianluo said coldly.
Boom!
Zheng Chengan could no longer suppress his aura. With a loud bang, the white jade under his feet was reduced to dust.
Ji Lutian moved and stood in front of Zheng Chengan.
"Brother Chengan, don't do anything," Ji Lutian said in a low voice. "Since Family Head Tang thinks that way, we'll think of another way. We can't let this matter ruin our relationship!"
Tang Qianluo's expression was cold as he looked at Zheng Chengan and Ji Lutian.
This was his Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, not a place where outsiders could behave atrociously.
Zheng Chengan took a few deep breaths and finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
He looked at Tang Qianluo and said coldly, "Surnamed Tang, if not for the great plan of the human race, I would have crippled you today!"
"If you have the ability, give it a try," Tang Qianluo said coldly.
Afraid that the two of them would really fight, Ji Lutian pulled Zheng Chengan out.
Tang Qianluo only retracted his gaze when the two of them left the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. The expression on his face became even colder.
He snorted and raised his voice. "Where is Tang San? How's the matter with that Zhou boy? Have you obtained the Divine Stone?"
Outside the hall, a stream of light shot over.
It was Tang San, who looked a little like Tang Qianluo.
Tang San walked into the hall and bowed. "Family Head, Shiyi is interrogating Zhou Shu. I think he should have already come to a conclusion.
"I sent for him before I came. He should be here soon."
Just as he finished speaking, a ray of light landed in front of the hall. Who else could it be but Tang Shiyi?
"Shiyi, quickly report to the family head. What is the outcome of your interrogation?" Tang San berated in a low voice.
'Tang Shiyi' nodded and cupped his hands at Tang Qianluo. "Greetings, Family Head.
"I have already pried Zhou Shu's mouth open, but it's a little troublesome now.
"The Divine Stone is indeed not with him. He hid it in his daughter's grotto-heaven.
"That boy's daughter is a Grotto-Heaven expert. Moreover, a grotto-heaven has already taken shape in her body. He placed the Divine Stone in this grotto-heaven."
Tang Qianluo frowned. "Where is his daughter? Send someone to bring her back. Is someone at the Grotto-Heaven realm enough to stump you?"
Tang Qianluo didn't take a person at the Grotto-Heaven realm seriously.
The Grotto-Heaven realm was indeed very strong, but what was it to the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?
Unless they were existences at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm, the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven could easily produce more than ten ordinary Grotto-Heaven experts.
"His daughter…" 'Tang Shiyi' hesitated for a moment before saying, "His daughter was killed by Fifth Brother…"
"Killed?" Tang Qianluo's expression instantly became incomparably gloomy. He was also a Grotto-Heaven expert. How could he not know that unless one was at the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm, once an ordinary Grotto-Heaven expert died, it was impossible for the grotto-heaven in their body to remain. It would collapse with the death of its master.
If what Tang Shiyi said was true, then the Divine Stone was gone!
"Where's Tang Wu?" Tang Qianluo suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly, "Didn't I tell you not to kill people easily?!"
"Fifth Brother was worried that you would be angry. He ran out to lie low," 'Tang Shiyi' said weakly. Then he looked at Tang San for help.
Tang San's expression was a little ugly. Why are you looking at me?
That bastard Tang Wu ran away so quickly!
"Family Head, we didn't intend to kill anyone. It was that little girl who wanted to escape and attacked Fifth Brother first. Fifth Brother was forced into making a move. After all, that little girl's cultivation isn't weak. Fifth Brother couldn't hold back…"
"Don't explain it to me!" Tang Qianluo shouted coldly. "I only want to see results! Now, tell me. Where is the Divine Stone?"
Tang San lowered his head. At this point, what else could he do?
When a grotto-heaven collapsed, everything inside would turn into ashes. Although the Divine Stone was special, it was hard to say if it could be preserved.
"Divine Stones aren't so easily damaged." Tang Qianluo patted the armrest of the chair. "Where did Tang Wu kill her? Go find him! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find the Divine Stone!"
"Yes, Family Head," Tang San hurriedly said.
"Family Head, I have a question. I don't know if I should ask it," 'Tang Shiyi' suddenly said.
"Ask!" Tang Qianluo said.
"I learned from that Zhou kid that he got his Divine Stone from Ji Lutian. Ji Lutian had a Divine Stone, and there might be a second one. Why can't we look for him?" 'Tang Shiyi' asked.
"Ask Ji Lutian for one? Are you going or should I? Do you think Ji Lutian will give it to you?" Tang Qianluo waved his hand angrily. "Don't ask things you shouldn't ask. Find the Divine Stone before the Demon Realm makes a move!"
Before 'Tang Shiyi' could speak again, Tang San had already pulled him out of the hall.
Outside the hall, Tang San looked at 'Tang Shiyi' and asked angrily, "Where did Fifth Brother go?"
"I don't know." 'Tang Shiyi' shrugged. "Fifth Brother knew that something bad happened, so he ran faster than a rabbit."
"Alright, forget it." Tang San waved his hand impatiently. "Do you know where he killed that girl?"
"Yes." A cold light flashed in Zhou Shu's eyes.
Tang San didn't notice the change in Zhou Shu's expression. He continued, "Is that Zhou boy dead? If he's not dead, bring him along. He has had more contact with the Divine Stone."
"He's not dead yet," 'Tang Shiyi' said. "Third Brother, where are that boy's weapons?"
"Why? Do you want them?" Tang San glanced at Tang Shiyi.
"Hehe." 'Tang Shiyi' smiled awkwardly. "When I interrogated him, he damaged a few of my torture tools. I was thinking that I could make up for it."
"In your dreams!" Tang San said angrily. "Do you think a few torture tools are worth a connate divine weapon?"
"I didn't say I wanted a connate divine weapon. We seized a lot of good things from him, didn't we?"
"Go get them from the storehouse yourself." Tang San rolled his eyes at him. "Take it easy. Don't take too much. If you take too much, I won't be able to explain it. When the time comes, you'll be in trouble."
The storehouse of the Tang family in the Xuling Grotto-Heaven was managed by Tang San. 'Tang Shiyi' was also a core member of the family. It was nothing for Tang San to open a small back door for him.
Of course, it was mainly because he had no intention of recording the items he had seized from Zhou Shu. Tang San's original plan was to split them between the brothers afterward.
Zhou Shu's cultivation wasn't high, but he had plundered a lot of good things. Even Tang San was envious.
"Don't worry, Third Brother." 'Tang Shiyi' patted his chest.
"Go and come back quickly," Tang San said. "I'll find a few more people. Let's go find the Divine Stone together!"
Tang San said solemnly, "If we can't find the Divine Stone, the family head won't let us off. This is the main point!"
"I understand." 'Tang Shiyi' said. "What can't we brothers do? Isn't it just a Divine Stone? As long as it's not destroyed, we'll definitely be able to find it."
"I hope so." Tang San nodded and waved his hand to signal 'Tang Shiyi' to hurry to the storehouse. He flew in another direction.
The family head had given his orders. There couldn't be any more accidents this time. He had to bring more experts.
Looking at Tang San's back, Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes slightly. These people of the grotto-heavens are all arrogant. Their vigilance is too low.
He was still thinking about how to fool Tang San. In the end, Tang San asked him to go to the storehouse himself. Zhou Shu was a little embarrassed by the way he opened the door to welcome the guests. This didn't require any skill!
