Dong Tailai looked at the heads of the family who looked murderous just now, and led people back to their residences one by one as if nothing had happened. His whole body was messy in the wind.
These people are so shameless.
He changes his face as soon as he changes his face. He is truly a man who is used to being the head of the family.
Dong Tailai muttered in his heart, then turned to look at Cao Yue.
"Little brother, what other instructions does the master have? Regarding the traitor..."
Dong Tailai said with some anxiety.
Before the family retreat, the head of the family entrusted him with all the affairs of the Dong family. As a result, under his care, there was a traitor in the family. This was Dong Tailai's dereliction of duty.
What's more, this traitor also stole the family leader's experience in forging weapons, which is a core secret related to the future of the Dong family.
"The head of the family has said that everything will be handled by you, the great elder. Your decision will be supported by all the heads of the family."
Cao Yue said, and then walked towards the Dong family mansion with a serious face.
As he walked, his voice fell into Dong Tailai's ears.
"Great Elder, the Patriarch has said that the weapon-making materials sent by other companies should be delivered to the Patriarch's house as soon as possible so that the Patriarch can use them."
"Received!"
Dong Tailai raised his voice, and then his expression became serious.
The head of the family trusts him so much. If he doesn’t take care of the family well, how can he deserve the trust of the head of the family?
This time, he must dig out the traitor. Whoever wants to prevent our Dong family from growing stronger is my sworn enemy, Dong Tailai!
"You guys are the core of the family. I believe that you will not betray the family. From now on, you will follow me and exclude everyone in the family one by one. Even if it turns the world upside down, you will find the traitor who is stealing from the family.
Come out!"
……
A hundred miles away from the Dong Family Fort, the head of the Peng Family looked back in the direction of the Dong Family Fort, with a hint of secret joy on his face.
"Let you make a fortune, and my Peng family will make a fortune in silence!"
He took out a thick booklet from his arms, which was exactly the same as the one Cao Yue sold to the head of the Mi family.
The Mi family, the Cao family, and the Ji family have been fighting for a long time to acquire the knowledge of forging soldiers, and the head of the Peng family actually has a copy in his hands!
Of course, Cao Yue secretly sold this to him. After the head of the Peng family spent a lot of money to buy this soldier-making experience, he immediately left Dongjiabao without any hesitation.
There is no way, the Peng family is weak, if this matter is known, he will not be able to withstand the pressure of other families.
"Master Peng!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded out of thin air, making the head of the Peng family tremble in fright, and all the books in his hand fell to the ground.
"Who?!"
The head of the Peng family shouted in shock.
"The head of the Peng family is Cao. Have you ever seen the head of the Mi family passing by here?"
A figure appeared in the air, and it turned out to be the head of the Cao family.
"No!"
The head of the Peng family said nervously, bending down to pick up the booklet on the ground, and then put it in his arms.
"Huh?"
The head of the Cao family's eyes moved, "Master Peng, what is that in your hand?"
"Nothing, just my Peng family's account book."
The head of the Peng family said a little unnaturally, "Master Cao, if there is nothing else, see you later."
"Stop!"
The head of the Cao family shouted, "Master Peng, show me what you have in your hand. Why does it look so familiar to me!"
"Master Cao, that's too much. This is my Peng family's account book. How can I show it to you?"
The head of the Peng family's face darkened and he said coldly.
"Ledger? I think you stole it from the Dong family."
The head of the Cao family narrowed his eyes and said, "I asked you why you suddenly left the Dong Family Fort. That's why! Hand over the things to me! Cao is on good terms with the Dong family, and I will never let you steal the Dong family's things.
!"
"Are you on good terms with the Dong family?"
The head of the Peng family sneered, "If you are on good terms with the Dong family, will you bribe the Dong family and let others steal the Dong family's secrets?"
"Although your Cao family is powerful, you can't control our Peng family. Farewell!"
The head of the Peng family looked gloomy, and as soon as he stepped on his feet, he was about to rise into the sky.
"You can't leave today!"
The head of the Cao family was holding back his anger. How could he bear it when he saw that the Peng family was benefiting from it?
"Hand over your things, or I will kill you today!"
The head of the Cao family exploded with aura, and he grabbed the head of the Peng family with one hand.
"Master Cao, do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
The head of the Peng family was furious, and his aura rose to the sky. He clenched his fist and punched out, "I will show you today that my Peng family is not someone to be bullied!"
"Boom——"
There was a loud noise, and the two of them started fighting.
None of them noticed that a sneaky figure appeared in the distance, and that figure was none other than the head of the Mi family.
The head of the Mi family rolled his eyes and landed on the head of the Peng family.
"Unexpectedly, the head of the Peng family quietly did something big."
The head of the Mi family touched his chin and said to himself, "This knowledge of forging soldiers cannot fall into the hands of the Peng family. This kind of good thing must be in my hands."
With a flash of light, the head of the Mi family disappeared into the air again. In the air, a figure invisible to the naked eye slowly approached the center of the battlefield.
……
"Uncle, in addition to the Cao family, the Mi family, and the Peng family, the heads of other families have sent another batch of army-making materials."
Cao Yue reported to Zhou Shuhui with some excitement.
He is now somewhat addicted to acting.
Last time, we just threw out a few pieces of innate magic weapons, and then these family heads continued to deliver weapons-making materials to them.
According to Zhou Shu, the weapon-making materials they sent are enough to cast several times the number of innate magic weapons.
In other words, the innate magic weapons they gave away for free have actually been earned back long ago.
Cao Yue felt that the more the better for this kind of benefit without any expense.
"Uncle, do you want me to talk to those family heads again? I think they must have more good things in them!"
Cao Yue said.
"I'm sure I have to say it, but it's not you who will go. This time I will go in person."
Zhou Shu said with a smile, "The best thing about them is each family's clan-killing artifact."
"Except for the Peng family's clan-suppressing artifact that has been lost, the other family heads all carry clan-suppressing artifacts from their respective families. That is the real good thing."
Zhou Shu said with some emotion.
Who would have thought that Zhu Rongtian, whose art of forging weapons has declined to this point, would still hide so many good things.
He has now deceived the clan-suppressing artifacts of the Cao family, Mi family and Ji family into his hands. The heads of the Cao family and the Mi family thought they got back their clan-suppressing artifacts, but in fact, what they got were all forged by Zhou Shu.
Fake.
At that time, they were so excited about the experience of casting soldiers that they did not bother to carefully examine the Zhen Clan's artifact. In addition, they were too confident in the connection between themselves and the Zhen Clan's artifact, so they have not discovered it until now.
Under normal circumstances, the Clan-Suppressing Artifact will not be used easily. I am afraid that even in a few years, they may not be able to discover that the Clan-Suppressing Artifact in their hands is a fake.
After acquiring these three clan artifacts, Zhou Shu has been studying them.
It has to be said that the power of these so-called innate artifacts is indeed superior to the divine weapons of the cave.
This is an artifact that truly surpasses the Dongtian Divine Weapon.
According to Zhou Shu's speculation, if the nine clan-suppressing artifacts can be collected, the Netherworld can really reappear in the world.
"Uncle, I seem to have heard Uncle Peng talk about the Peng family's artifact that suppresses the clan..."
Cao Yue had a thoughtful look on his face and said in deep thought.
"Peng Jiuyuan?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"Yes, it's Uncle Peng."
Cao Yue said thoughtfully, "Uncle Peng's ancestors were the core of the Peng family back then. Later, when the Peng family was in chaos, Uncle Peng's branch became homeless. I seem to have heard Uncle Peng say that when the Peng family was in chaos, his ancestors
, are the victims. When they were evicted, they also took away some of the Peng family's belongings."
"You're saying that the Peng family's clan-suppressing artifact may be in Peng Jiuyuan's body?"
Zhou Shu was startled and said.
"I didn't understand anything before, but now that I think about it, it's not impossible."
Cao Yue thought.
When he was in Jieqiao Village, when he heard Peng Jiuyuan talk about these things, it was like listening to a story, and he didn't think much about it at all.
But after leaving Jieqiao Village, he followed Zhou Shu and saw too many things, and he had his own thoughts on what he had heard before.
Zhou Shu nodded, Peng Jiuyuan was indeed of extraordinary origin.
His ancestors were able to obtain military orders from Marshal Tianpeng back then, which means that they were at least as evil as the Heavenly Generals and Kings of the Jade Talisman Fire Mansion.
Such a person is most likely the founder of the Peng family.
In other words, Peng Jiuyuan is actually the core direct descendant of the Peng family, one of the nine surnames of Zhurong.
The current Peng family is just a side branch that came to power after the Peng family was in chaos.
They don’t even know the Peng family’s true mission!
If the Peng family's artifact is really in Peng Jiuyuan's hands, this is understandable.
In this case, it's impossible to say that he would have to go back to Jieqiao Village again.
Zhou Shu must get these nine artifacts belonging to the Nine Surnames of Zhu Rong.
With these nine artifacts, he can recreate the Netherworld Underworld. If nothing else, at least with the power of the Netherworld Underworld, there should be no problem in completely repairing the divine weapon map.
Moreover, if Mu Zhixing wants to resurrect Lord Taiyin Star, it is impossible to do so with just a book of life and death. Only by reappearing the underworld can it be possible.
Although this matter essentially has nothing to do with Zhou Shu, using this matter to trade with Mu Zhixing is also a good thing for the human race.
Well, having said all that, in fact, for Zhou Shu, it means that he has seen something good, and of course he has to put it into his pocket. Otherwise, wouldn’t his trip to Zhu Rongtian be in vain?
As the saying goes, a thief never comes up short...
Bah, Zhou Shu is not a thief.
These things in his hand were all sent by Zhu Rongtian’s people themselves!
"When things here are over, we will go back to Jieqiao Village."
Zhou Shu said, "Now that the Dong family will no longer go to Jieqiao Village to cause trouble, we have to inform the village chief."
"Speaking of which, I wonder if the village chief is interested in becoming the head of the Dong family?"
Zhou Shu said to himself.
Cao Yue's mouth suddenly opened wide. The village chief will be the head of the Dong family?
Why does this feel so dreamy?
The more Cao Yue got in touch with, the more he knew. He knew very well how big the gap was between the head of Jieqiao Village and the head of the Dong family.
The head of the Dong family is the emperor of an area of tens of thousands of miles that the Dong family controls!
"I think, village chief, he might be willing..."
Cao Yue said.
He felt that the village chief had no reason to refuse.
With the support of the uncle, the village chief should be able to become the head of the Dong family.
I am just an ordinary country boy. Following my uncle, shouldn’t I also let the big shots of the Dong family obey my words?
With uncle here, nothing is impossible.
Cao Yue's confidence in Zhou Shu now has reached a blind level.
"Go and invite the heads of the other families over. It's time for the clan-suppressing artifacts in their hands to change owners."
Zhou Shu said leisurely.
……
"How could this happen?"
In the dark void, a voice sounded.
That voice was clearly that of Mu Zhixing.
In front of Mu Zhixing, a figure sat cross-legged with a hazy face.
In Mu Zhixing's hand, he was holding the Dong family's artifact, the Book of Life and Death!
The light on the Book of Life and Death dimmed, and Mu Zhixing's brows furrowed tightly.
"Why does the Book of Life and Death have no effect? It shouldn't be. Is this Book of Life and Death fake?"
The expression on Mu Zhixing's face changed, and he shook his head, "No, this book of life and death is real, there is no problem with that."
He suddenly remembered that when Zhou Shu handed him the book of life and death, his expression was a little strange.
"Damn it! The person named Zhou must have known for a long time that this book of life and death is real, but there is something wrong with it!"
Mu Zhixing gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, the netherworld is no longer there, the book of life and death has no source of power, and it can't wake up the star king at all now."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Asshole, do you have to rebuild the Netherworld to activate the full power of the Book of Life and Death?"
Mu Zhixing's expression changed, "If I had that ability, would I still need the Book of Life and Death?"
"By the way, this matter has to fall on Zhou Shu!"
After a while, Mu Zhixing patted his thigh and said thoughtfully.
"Since that bastard knows that the Book of Life and Death is useless, he must have a way to solve this problem!"
Mu Zhixing said depressedly, "It seems that I have to go back to Zhu Rongtian to find him!"
A ray of light flashed in Mu Zhixing's pupils, and he looked at the Taiyin Star Lord with a strange look on his face.
"Wait a little longer, I will definitely wake you up, I will."
After Mu Zhixing finished speaking, his figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the darkness instantly.
……
Zhu Rongtian, Jieqiao Village.
"Brother Peng, how many days has it been?"
A weak voice sounded, and Dong He, the head of Jieqiao Village, was seen leaning on a stone, his face pale and his breathing weak.
"I don't know either."
Next to him, Peng Jiuyuan was also leaning there helplessly.
"Village Chief, if we can't find a way out, we may really die here."
Peng Jiuyuan showed a bitter smile on his face, "I'm sorry, village chief, it was me who harmed you. If I hadn't brought him back to Jieqiao Village..."
"What does this have to do with you? I led the way. Even if you want to blame me, it's me."
Dong He shook his head, "Who would have thought that we would find the legendary Naihe Bridge."
"I always thought this was a false legend."
There has always been a legend about Naihe Bridge in Jieqiao Village, but no one has ever seen it since ancient times.
Dong He never imagined that they just went into the mountains to avoid being chased by the Dong family's knights, but they found the Naihe Bridge by mistake.
It was also his fault that he was too curious and led everyone to the Naihe Bridge.
The result is good, the Naihe Bridge is easy to get up but difficult to get down.
They walked on this bridge for who knows how long. In the end, no matter what, they could not reach the other side of the bridge. Even if they retreated, they could not return to the original place.
They were trapped on the Naihe Bridge, which seemed to be only a hundred feet long!
On this Naihe Bridge, there is no water or food. They are just ordinary people. They are all dying until now.
If this continues, it won't take long before they all die on the Naihe Bridge.
"Da da——"
Just when Peng Jiuyuan's expression changed and he was about to say something, suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps on the bridge ahead.
I saw only a figure appearing there.
"Stop, don't come up! This is the Naihe Bridge. Once you step on it, you can't go back any further!"
Peng Jiuyuan raised his voice.
"Da da——"
The footsteps kept sounding, and that person, as if he had not heard Peng Jiuyuan's words, stepped onto the Naihe Bridge step by step, and after a moment, he appeared in front of them.
There was a layer of white mist surrounding the man, and his face could not be seen clearly, not even whether he was a man or a woman.
"Why do you say you want to come up? You're fine now, you can't get down anymore."
Dong He sighed and said.
Two rays of light flashed in the white mist.
"Nine Yuan, you disappoint me so much."
Suddenly, the figure shrouded in white mist spoke.
His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his tone of voice was a bit unnatural.
"Who are you?"
Peng Jiuyuan's face froze, and he spoke calmly.
A gust of wind blew by, the white mist dissipated, and a figure appeared in front of everyone.
As soon as he saw the man's appearance, Peng Jiuyuan's expression suddenly changed.
"Dad?!"
Peng Jiuyuan exclaimed.
The faces of Dong He and other villagers in Jieqiao Village changed. Peng Jiuyuan's father?
Peng Jiuyuan is already several decades old. How old is his father?
They haven't heard that Peng Jiuyuan's father is still alive.
"Dad, are you still alive?"
Peng Jiuyuan was a little excited and struggled to get up.
"I'm already dead."
The man sighed and said, "If you weren't so disappointing, why should I do this?"
Everyone: "..."
Dead?
Everyone did not feel fear, but instead felt a little curious.
The person in front of me doesn’t look like a dead person.
And he said that Peng Jiuyuan was unsatisfactory...
Could it be because Peng Jiuyuan was unworthy and he was so angry that he came to life again?
Everyone looked at Peng Jiuyuan with strange expressions.
"Dad!"
Peng Jiuyuan had already gotten up and knelt down in front of the man, "I - I -"
He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
"Forget it."
The man sighed, "I'm actually no better than you. We are all unworthy descendants of the Peng family."
"Sir, are you Peng's father?"
Dong He stood up and said, "May I ask what is going on?"
The man glanced at Dong He and said calmly, "You are really impatient to live on the Naihe Bridge as a living person."
"You are not of the Peng family. I can't save you. If you have any last words, tell them."
