169, Zhu Rongtian was in chaos and his strength increased dramatically.
"Master, something is wrong!"
Dong Tailai rushed into the courtyard of the head of the Dong family in a panic and shouted loudly.
"Stop!"
A ray of light fell at Dong Tailai's feet.
Wu Gang swayed and stood in front of Dong Tailai.
"Take a step forward and die!"
Wu Gang said dullly.
The expression on Dong Tailai's face froze, and he felt a little embarrassed.
"Master, I have something important to report!"
Dong Tailai didn't dare to move and could only shout loudly.
"Wu Gang, let him in."
Zhou Shu's voice came.
Wu Gang stepped aside rigidly.
Dong Tailai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, it's bad, the Peng family has been exterminated!"
Dong Tailai took a few steps forward, came to the door of the house, and said.
"The Peng family was exterminated?"
The door creaked open, and Zhou Shu walked out, "Who did this?"
"It's the Cao family."
Dong Tailai said with some shock, "The Dong family launched a massive attack on the Peng family. The Peng family only held on for a few days and was completely defeated."
"Cao family? What was the reaction of the other families?"
Zhou Shu frowned.
"The heads of other families have already left Dongjiabao, and I dare not stop them."
Dong Tailai said.
Under such circumstances, if Dong Tailai dared to leave them in Dongjiabao again, they would really go crazy.
The Cao family went to war and directly destroyed the Peng family. How could other families not worry about their own families?
Who knows if the Cao family will take action against their family after going crazy?
"What was the Mi family's reaction?"
Zhou Shu asked.
"Mi family?"
Dong Tailai thought for a while and said, "There is no movement from the Mi family. It seems that the head of the Mi family has disappeared. I don't know where he went."
"The head of the Mi family is missing?"
Zhou Shu frowned slightly, this was beyond his expectation.
"The Peng family has been completely destroyed?"
Zhou Shu thought for a while and asked.
"Our news is lagging behind. Even if we are not completely wiped out, we are probably close to it. Family, do we need to do something?"
Dong Tailai asked.
"What to do? Avenge the Peng family? Or pass the knife to the Cao family?"
Zhou Shu glanced at him and said.
"No, look at it, head of the family. The Cao family destroyed the Peng family, but the Peng family's territory is so big. The Cao family can't just take it all to themselves. We can grab the territory, people, and money!"
Dong Tailai said excitedly.
Zhou Shu was speechless and rolled his eyes in his heart.
This Dong Tailai is really——
Such a person can become the eldest elder of the family, which shows what the Dong family is like.
As one of the nine major families with the nine surnames of Zhurong, one of the families was wiped out. Not only did Dong Tailai feel a sense of crisis, he actually wanted to grab the territory.
Don’t you think about it, if the Cao family can attack the Peng family today, will they be able to attack the Dong family another day?
This kind of thing cannot be allowed to happen at all.
At this time, you should help the Peng family fight against the Cao family.
To put it bluntly, the Dong family has mastered the art of forging soldiers. At this time, to make war fortune, it is okay to sell both sides. Why bother to go out and grab the territory personally?
Is what I snatched yours?
Zhou Shu was no longer able to complain. He mused, "Elder, please send more people to inquire about the news and see what the situation in the Peng family is like now."
"Also, ask the people who have promised to make weapons from each family to send them over as soon as possible, so as not to be affected by this matter."
Zhou Shu continued, "By the way, you can also inform other families that our Dong family will continue to sell innate weapons on a first-come, first-served basis. Whoever pays first will have priority in getting the innate weapons forged by the Dong family in the future."<
/p>
The Cao family went crazy, which was a good thing for Zhou Shu.
He can just pre-sell an innate magic weapon and get more money from other companies.
Anyway, during these days, he has used fake artifacts to deceive several other clan artifacts into his hands.
It has to be said that the heads of the nine families of Zhu Rong look a bit wealthy, but their lives are too comfortable, and their guard against others is too weak.
To their surprise, no one noticed that the artifact they took back had been stolen by Zhou Shu.
They were so stupid that even letting Zhou Shu deceive them had no sense of accomplishment.
"I know."
Dong Tailai said eagerly, "Master, are we really not going to grab a piece of land?"
He is still thinking about the Peng family's territory.
Zhou Shu was a little speechless, "If you really want to, then take someone to grab a piece. If you need innate magic weapons, just go and get them."
Zhou Shu has no idea about this. What does it have to do with him whether the Dong family grabs the territory or not?
He is not the real head of the Dong family.
And he doesn't plan to stay here for too long. He will leave the Dong family after searching for a batch of weapon-making materials.
However, if Dong Tailai had this idea, Zhou Shu would not refuse.
If the map of the divine weapons had not been completely repaired and the innate divine weapons forged by Zhou Shu could not bring rewards even if they were successfully killed, then Zhou Shu would even be willing to encourage Dong Tai to fight with them.
Dong Tailai went there in high spirits, and Zhou Shu waved his hand directly and called Cao Yue over.
"Put away all the weapons-making materials you have now. Let's go to Jieqiao Village now."
Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, handing the Heavenly Emperor Sword to Cao Yue, "The Cao family suddenly attacked the Peng family. I'm afraid something will happen. Let's go find the Peng family's artifact to suppress the clan first."
As long as the Peng family's clan-suppressing artifact is found and Zhou Shu has it in his hands, he can collect the nine artifacts of Zhu Rong's nine surnames.
He only needs to wait for Mu Zhixing to return the book of life and death, and then he can make the underworld reappear.
When the time comes, completely repair the divine weapon map, then regain your strength and go home!
When he thought of going home, Zhou Shu felt slightly excited.
I don’t know what’s going on in the ancestral land now. After defeating Xuan Mingtian, I don’t know if the human race has any spare power to occupy Xuan Mingtian.
Zhou Shu is also a little worried now. In the next few days, he will take the opportunity to occupy Xuanmingtian and rob the human race of their victory.
Cao Yue soon returned with the Heavenly Emperor Sword.
"Let's go!"
Zhou Shu did not hesitate, flicked his sleeves, took Cao Yue with him, greeted Wu Gang, concealed himself, and left Dongjiabao directly.
Zhou Shu's injury has not yet recovered, and his strength has only recovered half.
However, even if he has only recovered half of his strength, his speed is not weaker than that of a strong person in the ordinary law realm.
As for Wu Gang, Wu Gang's strength is unfathomable and his speed will naturally not be slow. He followed Zhou Shu leisurely. It didn't take long for them to see the village of Jieqiao Village.
It used to take Cao Yue and Zhou Shu several months to get from Jieqiao Village to Dongjiabao, but now it only takes a quarter of an hour to get from Dongjiabao to Jieqiao Village.
Cao Yue's heart was agitated, and he became more and more thirsty for strength.
"Uncle, I know where the village chief and his friends are hiding. I'll lead the way!"
Back in Jieqiao Village, Cao Yue was extremely familiar with everything.
He used to often go hunting in the mountains, and he was as familiar with the mountains and forests around Jieqiao Village as if he were at home.
"No need."
Zhou Shu suddenly stopped and his expression became serious.
He looked at the void ahead and said coldly, "Sir, will you come out on your own, or will you let me invite you to come out?"
"Buzz——"
Suddenly, there was a ripple in the empty space ahead, and then a figure appeared in front of the three of them.
"Uncle Peng?"
When Cao Yue saw that man, he looked stunned, and then said with great joy.
"Uncle Peng, why are you here? Do you know we are coming back?"
Cao Yue said excitedly.
Zhou Shu grabbed Cao Yue and looked at Peng Jiuyuan with a cold expression.
The Peng Jiuyuan in front of him is very different from the Peng Jiuyuan when he left Jieqiao Village.
"You are not Peng Jiuyuan."
Zhou Shu said coldly.
"I am Peng Jiuyuan."
Peng Jiuyuan looked at Zhou Shu with a complicated expression, and said slowly, "You guys shouldn't come back."
"Uncle Peng, what's wrong with you? Why shouldn't we come back?"
Cao Yue was confused. He looked at Peng Jiuyuan and said loudly.
Being pulled by Zhou Shu, he also realized that something was wrong.
Uncle Peng is actually flying in the air.
Uncle Peng couldn't fly before.
Cao Yue has now begun to practice martial arts, so he knows very well that Uncle Peng's previous cultivation is still far from being able to fly.
It is impossible for him to cultivate to the point where he can fly in such a short period of time.
Peng Jiuyuan did not answer Cao Yue's words, but looked at Zhou Shu and said slowly, "If you don't come back, I can pretend that nothing happened."
His eyes gradually began to turn red, and his expression became ferocious.
"Why, why do you want to come back!"
Peng Jiuyuan said sternly, "When you come back, I will no longer be able to deceive myself! I will kill you!"
"Why do you want to come back?"
Peng Jiuyuan roared with a ferocious expression. His aura suddenly rose, and circles of black and red gas spread around his body.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly and took a step forward to block Cao Yue behind him.
"Peng Jiuyuan, do you want to kill us?"
Zhou Shu said coldly, "Where are the other villagers in Jieqiao Village? They all died in your hands?"
Cao Yue couldn't tell, but Zhou Shu could clearly see that the black-red gas on Peng Jiuyuan's body was clearly murderous.
To gather murderous intent, there is no other way except killing.
Coupled with what Peng Jiuyuan said, Zhou Shu couldn't help but have this idea in his heart.
He was also a little puzzled. According to his previous understanding of Peng Jiuyuan, Peng Jiuyuan was just an ordinary person, not very courageous, but not a villain.
He would not do such a thing as harming the villagers of Jieqiao Village.
What happened to him?
"Ah——"
Peng Jiuyuan let out a roar, his eyes became extremely red, his whole face was ferocious, and his aura was rising steadily, and in an instant, he had exceeded the limit of the cave heaven realm.
"Death!"
Peng Jiuyuan roared and rushed towards Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu flicked his sleeve, and a gentle force rolled Cao Yue to the ground.
Then a long sword appeared in Zhou Shu's hand, and he slashed forward.
A ray of sword light collided with Peng Jiuyuan.
Amidst the loud noise, Peng Jiuyuan took a few steps back.
Zhou Shu's body also swayed and took half a step backward.
He frowned slightly. Now his strength has been restored to half, but the ordinary cave heaven realm is definitely not his enemy with one blow.
This Peng Jiuyuan was just a warrior who was slightly stronger than ordinary people a few months ago. In just a few months, his strength has surpassed that of the Cave Heaven Realm!
Zhou Shu has seen countless warriors in his life, but for one whose strength has improved so quickly, Peng Jiuyuan is undoubtedly the first.
"Boom——"
At this moment, Wu Gang had already flashed in front of Zhou Shu, raised the ax in his hand, and struck at Peng Jiuyuan.
With a loud noise, Peng Jiuyuan was knocked down from the air by Wu Gang.
Since the battle of Xuanmingtian, Wu Gang's strength has greatly improved. Even Zhou Shu can't see clearly his current strength.
I think back then, the head of the Dong family was seriously injured by Wu Gang's blow, and finally died tragically in the hands of Zhou Shu.
Although Peng Jiuyuan's strength has improved a lot, it is still far behind Wu Gang.
From the beginning, he was directly suppressed by Wu Gang.
Watching Wu Gang keep slashing at Peng Jiuyuan.
He quickly stopped Wu Gang.
"You step back first, I will do it myself."
Zhou Shu was really afraid that Wu Gang would chop Peng Jiuyuan to death.
After all, it is still unclear what the current situation of the villagers in Jieqiao Village is. Moreover, Peng Jiuyuan may be related to the artifact of the Peng family in Zhu Rongjiu. If he is killed, the clue to the artifact of the Peng family may be lost.<
/p>
Wu Gang lost his mind, but he obeyed Zhou Shu's words.
As soon as Wu Gang got out of the way, Peng Jiuyuan jumped up, roaring and wanting to attack again.
Zhou Shu snorted coldly, waved the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand, and sword lights fell down.
Countless sword lights weaved into a cage, shrouding Peng Jiuyuan inside.
"Zila——"
Peng Jiuyuan threw himself on the cage woven with sword light, made a noise and retracted his palm in pain.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"I'm going to kill you!"
Peng Jiuyuan roared like crazy.
Zhou Shu frowned, Peng Jiuyuan's state was very wrong.
Although he has not completely lost his mind like Wu Gang, he is still a little crazy now.
If I must say it, he now looks a bit like those crazy monsters in his original ancestral land.
It is obvious that the emotions are beyond one’s control.
"Did someone manipulate you?"
Light flashed in Zhou Shu's pupils, and his spiritual thoughts were like water, covering the surrounding area.
How powerful is Zhou Shu’s spiritual power?
The visualization of the true shapes of the Five Mountains was completed, and Zhou Shu's mental power had already reached a level that was astonishing to the world.
Five towering mountains that were almost visible to the naked eye appeared in the sky, and with the momentum of suppressing everything, they suddenly fell on Peng Jiuyuan.
"Ah——"
Peng Jiuyuan let out a scream.
"Boom——"
With a loud noise, a stone bridge hundreds of feet long emerged from Peng Jiuyuan's body.
The stone bridge lay across Peng Jiuyuan's head, forming a counterweight to the true form of the Five Mountains transformed by Zhou Shu's spiritual power.
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows, is this the Peng family's artifact that suppresses the clan?
Unexpectedly, it is really in Peng Jiuyuan's body, and has been activated by Peng Jiuyuan!
How did he activate this clan artifact?
His sudden increase in strength is also related to this clan artifact?
Zhou Shu vaguely felt that this stone bridge was somewhat familiar. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a few big characters on the bridge.
"Naihe Bridge?"
Zhou Shu's pupils suddenly contracted.
He remembered that when he had just woken up, he had asked Peng Jiuyuan a question: why is Jieqiao Village called Jieqiao Village?
At that time, Peng Jiuyuan told him that Jieqiao Village was said to be the boundary between the two realms of life and death, so it was called Jieqiao Village.
At that time, Peng Jiuyuan knew that Naihe Bridge was in Jieqiao Village?
No, that’s not right!
Peng Jiuyuan definitely didn’t know about the existence of Naihe Bridge at that time!
If the Naihe Bridge is the Peng family's sacred artifact, but Peng Jiuyuan doesn't know its existence, then why did Peng Jiuyuan live in Jieqiao Village by such a coincidence?
Is all this controlled by someone?
Zhou Shu stepped forward and took a step, and the five illusory mountains suddenly became much more solid.
"Boom——"
The Naihe Bridge above Peng Jiuyuan's head suddenly sank several feet, bending Peng Jiuyuan's back.
"Uncle Peng! It's me, I'm Xiao Yue!"
Cao Yue shouted on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
He was raised by Peng Jiuyuan since he was a child. Peng Jiuyuan was like his father to him. Now seeing that Peng Jiuyuan's temperament changed drastically and even wanted to kill him, Cao Yue did not feel disappointed. He just felt
Endless worries.
He really wanted Zhou Shu to be merciful, but after following Zhou Shu for so long, he knew it was useless. He couldn't influence Zhou Shu's decision at all.
No matter how much he begged for what Zhou Shu decided to do, it would be useless.
What's more, in Peng Jiuyuan's current situation, asking Zhou Shu to keep his hand would be equivalent to asking Zhou Shu to die.
Cao Yue could not do such a thing no matter what.
The only way he can think of now is to ask Peng Jiuyuan to stop.
As long as Peng Jiuyuan can stop, there will still be a chance.
"Uncle Peng!"
Cao Yue shouted heartbreakingly.
Peng Jiuyuan's body trembled slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in his pupils.
But immediately, he let out an angry roar and thrust his hands upwards.
"Why do you want to appear in front of me! I don't want to kill you!"
Peng Jiuyuan yelled, "Don't force me! Let's go! You go!"
Peng Jiuyuan's face was full of struggle.
Zhou Shu felt even more strange, Peng Jiuyuan seemed to be really being manipulated.
However, this control does not seem to be complete, and Peng Jiuyuan still retains some self-awareness.
"Kill us? Peng Jiuyuan, you are thinking too much."
Zhou Shu said coldly, "Now, lie down for me."
He took another step forward, and the true form of the Five Mountains became more solid, slamming down the Naihe Bridge.
At the same time, Zhou Shu swung out the Heavenly Emperor Sword in his hand and struck Peng Jiuyuan under the Naihe Bridge.
"Boom——"
With a loud noise, Peng Jiuyuan flew out, and the Naihe Bridge was suppressed to the ground by the true form of the Five Mountains.
"Waste!"
A sound of yelling and cursing sounded, and a black smoke was seen rising from Peng Jiuyuan's body.
In the smoke, a figure slowly emerged.
Zhou Shu frowned and looked at the figure in the black mist.
The black fog gradually converged, and the figure gradually revealed his true face in Lushan.
"Huh?"
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes, a look of doubt flashed across his face.
"Are you too embarrassed to see anyone?"
Zhou Shu said coldly.
The figure coming out of the black mist was clearly a faceless man.
His face seemed to have been smoothed by something, without any facial features, leaving only a smooth surface.
The faceless man also stiffened his movements.
"How is this possible? Why is there no one you want to see in your heart?"
The faceless man made a sound. He had no mouth on his face, and he didn't know where the sound came from.
"You want to peek into my inner thoughts?"
Zhou Shu's eyes flashed, and a sneer appeared on his face, "You don't overestimate your capabilities!"
