For Meng Zhao, there are not many so-called major forces in Lingwu City who can talk to him or even become opponents. Even if the so-called three major families do not have the combat power of the master, they will not be taken seriously by him.

But the Pudu Sect is different. This is an extremely mysterious and powerful force. The leader is a master and powerful master. The four great Dharma kings under him are all innate extreme masters. Three of them have fought against each other. At the same time, they have also severely damaged these three people, which can be said to have formed an irreconcilable hatred.

Not only that, the Pudu Church is also ambitious and attracting religious believers everywhere, and with poor intentions, it may be a major disaster for the general.

After Meng Zhao came back, he had already sent a letter to Meng Jizu, informing the existence of the Pudu sect and telling him about the various extraordinary actions of this sect's forces. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, he has not received a reply.

Unexpectedly, today, he was shocked by the Zhou family and felt a little heavier when he learned about the news that might be related to the General Ducai.

If it was really what he had guessed, the potential power of the Pudu Cult would probably be far more terrifying than he had imagined. In Yanzhou, there are powers of the Pudu Cult, and in Lingwu City, what about Jizhou and Liangzhou?

Think deeper, does it mean that when Pudu Cult threatened Yuan Bin to join the Cult and attempted to plot against the Yuan family in Qingzhou, he had already used similar methods to take control of it?

Also, Meng Zhao always felt that Puduism was too quiet. After he defeated the three Dharma Kings of the Protectors, he allowed him to leave Kunnan calmly and return to Lingwu City without any movement. This was really unreasonable.

Could it be that Zhou Gushan sent people to assassinate him, and there was also the factor of universal sects?

In just a moment, Meng Zhao had thousands of thoughts arising from his mind, and was disillusioned, and he was even more eager to find out the truth.

Meng Zhaotong was constantly trying to ask questions to women, including Zhou Gushan’s daily abnormal behavior, the place where the Buddha statue was located, etc., so as to be accurate...

In the back house of Zhou's family, in a very wide and spacious study, a middle-aged man with gray temples was illuminated by bright fireworks, carefully proofreading the two books in his hand, comparing them one by one, and being very cautious.

He is Zhou Gushan, the current head of the Zhou family. From the outside world, since his grandfather and father died, he was ordered to take over the Zhou family in a critical moment and led the Zhou family through those most difficult years. He has survived to this day and is capable of not weak.

Among them, there were also dangerous moments when facing a life-and-death choice, and there were also vicious traps that were taken one step forward and were a thousand feet deep. However, he had all passed by them one by one and became the leader who was unanimously respected and worshipped by the Zhou family.

He is not old, he should be only in his thirties, but his temples are already gray. It can be seen that his hard work and heavy thoughts have greatly weakened his vitality.

His facial features are deep and three-dimensional. In his handsomeness, he does not have the firmness and coldness of an ordinary martial artist, but has a bit more elegant and square, and his temperament is very similar to the green pines standing on the edge of a steep cliff in the ice and snow. They are tall and green, and full of resilience.

After a long time, Zhou Gushan raised his head from the piles of paper books on the desk and knocked his neck back.

Although with his cultivation level, the fatigue in his muscles does not exist, mental fatigue cannot be avoided.

"Oh, compared to before, my appetite has become much bigger. Could it be that if my Zhou family really needs to live a tight belt and destroy the family, I will provide them with their needs?"

Zhou Gushan showed a sad look between his eyebrows and eyes, leaned his head up on the back of the chair, his eyes dazed, not knowing what he was thinking.

Soon, a few rhythmic knocks sounded outside, causing Zhou Gushan, who was in deep thought, to wake up with a sudden sense of disgust in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

"Come in."

As Zhou Gushan spoke, he pushed the door open from outside the study and walked into a man wearing the costumes of Zhou's servants.

He is not very old, four or five years younger than Zhou Gu's mountainside, but he is burly and majestic, with amazing qi and blood. At first glance, he is a master who can practice martial arts in profound and profound ways.

After entering the study, this person took the door with great caution. His hunched and bent body gradually became tense and straight as he turned around, like a peak that penetrated into the sky.

"Master Zhou Xiang, the Holy Flame of Light, saves all sentient beings, and comes rashly, and is rude."

While speaking, the man clasped his hands together and made a certain handprint posture, with six movements in total, such as to determine his identity.

Zhou Gushan had already stood up from the seat at this time, and replied with a solemn and solemn expression, saying that the Holy Flame of Light was saved by all living beings, and his handprint skills were also quite proficient, which shows that it was not the first time to practice.

After greetings, they were confirmed to each other's identities, not others pretending to be.

The man dressed as a servant shook his thick eyebrows and said,

"I just received news from the headquarters that the materials and silver that Master Zhou Xiang presented last time were 30% less than in the past, and this time it was three days later than before. I wonder what difficulties Master Zhou Xiang encountered?"

Although his tone was very tactful, he was essentially still questioning Zhou Gushan whether he had selfish thoughts, so he deliberately did this.

Zhou Gushan smiled bitterly, turned around and took the two books on his desk into his hand, and handed them to the other party, saying,

"The Holy Envoy, it's not that someone Zhou intends to shirk his grievances. In fact, in recent days, the city has been volatile, and the nine-sentence Li family has caused a stir. Many aristocratic families have been destroyed, and an ally of my Zhou family has completely retreated from Lingwu City, which has greatly affected the Zhou family's business.

In order to provide the church and even try to reduce the expenses in the government, even the training of dead soldiers has been suspended.

At this time, the huge Zhou family was almost empty.

It’s not just recently. In fact, in recent years, I, Zhou Gushan, have given up how much resources, silver, and supply, and the holy envoys must know.

For this reason, the Zhou family's business plummeted, and there was no silver turnover many times, and the business stopped.

I also asked the Holy Envoy to go back and say a few good words to Mr. Zhou. My Zhou family has really reached the point of overwhelming burden. I hope the leader can be more polite."

The man called the Holy Envoy took the book in his hand, glanced at it casually, and threw it aside, his tone was cold, no longer as gentle as before, said,

"I don't know whether your Zhou family is suffering. I only know that the leader has set a share for your Zhou family, and no point can be lost. This time I came here, but the headquarters has a bad view of you. It was the Saint who tried to persuade you more and more, which gave you a chance.

Remember, the offerings for next month must be made up on time, and at the same time, the shortages must be filled. If there are any more gaps and delays, it will not be me, but the guys from the Law Enforcement Hall."

Zhou Gushan clenched his hands, breathing rapidly, and the anger in his eyes was almost bursting out. Finally, a little rational awakened him, asking him to suppress all the murderous aura, and gritted his teeth,

"Okay, since the Holy Envoy thinks so, I have nothing to say, I should obey it."

After saying that, he waved his sleeves and returned to the seat, ignoring the other party, making it clear that he would see him off.
