The faceless man snorted coldly. He never expected that Zhou Shu could guess the truth with his casual words.
However, he was also very surprised in his heart. He was born with the ability to confuse people and could sense people's emotions.
When someone sees him, they will automatically regard him as the person they want to see the most.
That was the case with Peng Jiuyuan back then.
But in front of Zhou Shu, he couldn't feel any emotion from Zhou Shu. In his perception, he was facing five towering mountains. The extreme sense of oppression made him feel uncomfortable all over. p>
"Hmph, so what if you have a secret method? I can still kill you!"
The faceless man snorted coldly, raised his hand, and the Naihe Bridge, which was suppressed by the true form of the Five Mountains, trembled violently, as if it wanted to fly into the faceless man's hand.
Light flashed in Zhou Shu's pupils, "It's just a weapon spirit, what a big tone!"
He took a step forward and stepped hard.
The true form of the Five Mountains shines brightly.
The Naihe Bridge, which was already somewhat loose, was suppressed again.
There was no expression on the face of the faceless man, but he subconsciously took half a step back, clearly showing his mood.
"If you were a human being, with such strength, I might really be afraid of you."
Zhou Shu sneered and said, "But you, a weapon spirit, dare to appear in front of me in such a grand manner."
"I'm afraid you don't know what my true identity is!"
Zhou Shu gave a clear drink and his body flashed with light.
A book that only he could see appeared in front of him. The cover of the book was in pieces, as if it had been torn into pieces and then glued back together.
It was such a tattered-looking book. The moment it appeared, a faint blue flame fell directly on the Naihe Bridge.
The faceless man, who had been extremely arrogant just now, suddenly let out an earth-shattering scream.
Peng Jiuyuan next to him was also rolling on the ground in pain.
"Uncle Peng!"
Cao Yue rushed forward, but was thrown away by a force from Peng Jiuyuan.
Zhou Shu's face was expressionless, as if he didn't see Peng Jiuyuan's pain.
He looked at the faceless man and said, "Kneel down and beg for mercy. I can spare your life."
"Otherwise, you would be wiped out now."
Zhou Shu’s words were very plain.
But that undoubted charm made the faceless man tremble all over.
Others couldn't see it, but he could clearly see that the faint blue flame was constantly eroding the Naihe Bridge.
Once it completely invades Naihe Bridge, he will really have no way to survive.
This pervert came out of nowhere!
Why was he able to occupy Naihe Bridge so easily?
What did he mean by what he just said, and what is his true identity?
Countless thoughts flashed through the faceless man's mind. He didn't want to die, let alone die in such a miserable way.
"Who are you?"
The faceless man roared in pain.
"Who am I? Peng Jiuyuan didn't tell you?"
Zhou Shu sneered.
"I-I didn't betray you!"
Peng Jiuyuan, who was rolling on the ground, suddenly spoke.
He bit his tongue and his mouth was filled with blood. He looked a little frightened.
"Sir, I really didn't reveal your identity!"
Peng Jiuyuan said with a trembling voice.
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows. Peng Jiuyuan was controlled by this shameless man. How could he keep a secret?
But now it seems that this faceless man really doesn’t know his identity.
If he knew who he was, I'm afraid he wouldn't dare to appear in front of him.
"Last chance, kneel down and beg for mercy, otherwise, your soul will be gone."
Zhou Shu snorted coldly, the blue flames increased in intensity, and the faceless man immediately let out a louder scream.
"I surrender!"
The faceless man said loudly, "I will never provoke you again. If you let me go, we will not offend the river. I will return the souls of those villagers to you!"
He was shaking all over and stepped back step by step, as if he wanted to keep a distance from Zhou Shu.
"I repeat, you have no third choice, kneel down and beg for mercy, or lose your soul."
The map of the divine weapons was suspended in front of Zhou Shu, exuding an aura that only some people could feel.
The faceless man was the weapon spirit of Naihe Bridge, and he felt even more oppressed.
Zhou Shu looked at the faceless man, and he was actually a little curious.
This Naihe Bridge actually has a weapon spirit!
This weapon spirit is not quite the same as the one that Zhou Shu was familiar with.
When he was in the ancestral land, Shi Changsheng chose to use his soul to attach himself to the divine weapon because his physical body was destroyed, thus treating the divine weapon as his own body.
In that case, to a certain extent, it can be said that Shi Changsheng became the soul of the Eternal Sword.
But the situation of this faceless man is essentially different from that of Shi Changsheng.
Zhou Shu could tell that this faceless man was not a human soul attached to the Naihe Bridge.
He is more like a consciousness born from Naihe Bridge itself.
This is very interesting. Zhou Shu has never seen this kind of situation before.
The magic weapon has a spirit, but this is the first time Zhou Shu has seen the spirit of the magic weapon turn into a human body.
Even among the other clan artifacts of the nine surnames of Zhu Rong, there is no such weapon spirit that can transform.
Is it possible that there is something special about this Naihe Bridge?
Zhou Shu now really wants to take Naihe Bridge into his hands and study it. This weapon spirit is also valuable for research. For a while, Zhou Shu really couldn't bear to kill him directly.
"I——"
The faceless man was trembling all over. He wanted to shout loudly, I will never be a slave!
But he doesn’t want to die even more.
It was not easy for him to be where he is today. Only he himself knows how much suffering he has gone through to be where he is today.
He doesn't want to just disappear into the world.
If that were the case, his thousands of years of hard work would be in vain.
"I'm not convinced!"
The faceless man shouted excitedly, "Why, why can you decide my life or death?"
"I have existed for thousands of years. Regardless of my age, I can be your ancestor. What qualifications do you have to destroy me!"
The faceless man yelled.
"Why?"
Zhou Shu looked calm and said in a cold voice, "Just because, I am better than you."
"If you are stronger than me today, then even if you kill me, I won't say anything nonsense."
"But now you are not as good as me, so you can only listen to me."
Zhou Shu looked at the faceless man, and the blue flames emanating from the divine weapon map suddenly became a little more intense.
On the Naihe Bridge, there was even a chattering sound that even Cao Yue and Peng Jiuyuan could hear.
The faceless man trembled all over. As the blue flames eroded more of the Naihe Bridge, he felt that the connection between himself and the Naihe Bridge was getting less and less.
He feels like he can't control himself now.
He knew that he really had no other choice.
The law of the jungle is strong, no matter who has the big fist, whoever speaks can count.
"If you beg for mercy, beg for mercy. I'm not a human being anyway! I don't have to be afraid of being embarrassed!"
The faceless man thought in his mind that he fell to his knees with a thud in front of Zhou Shu.
"I beg for mercy! Please let me go, I will never dare again."
The faceless man fell to his knees and shouted loudly.
Peng Jiuyuan seemed to have something to do with Naihe Bridge. He was rolling on the ground in pain. When he heard the faceless man's words, Peng Jiuyuan used all his strength and shouted loudly, "Don't let him go. He killed the village chief and everyone!"<
/p>
Peng Jiuyuan dug his hands into the soil and held them tightly to the ground. His nails were already cracked, but he didn't even notice.
Peng Jiuyuan's face was full of pain and hatred. Looking at him like that, if he couldn't do it, he would even want to rush over and bite the faceless man a few times.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly and sighed in his heart.
Are the surviving villagers of Jieqiao Village still dead?
I originally let them go into the mountains to escape in order to save them. Unexpectedly, I ended up killing them instead.
Cao Yue felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stood blankly in the distance.
The village chief uncle and everyone in the village are all dead?
Cao Yue grew up eating hundreds of meals in Jieqiao Village since he was a child. The people in Jieqiao Village are all his relatives.
After hearing that all his relatives were dead, Cao Yue felt that the sky above him had completely collapsed.
After dozens of breaths passed, Cao Yue burst into tears.
Peng Jiuyuan also cried silently, not knowing how to comfort Cao Yue.
"Buzz——"
Zhou Shu did not comfort Cao Yue. In this case, it would be a good thing for Cao Yue to cry and vent.
Zhou Shu raised his hand, and the true form of the Five Mountains disappeared instantly. The Naihe Bridge, which was suppressed by the true form of the Five Mountains, also flew up automatically, continued to shrink, and fell directly into Zhou Shu's palm.
Faceless Man was extremely surprised. He tried to call Naihe Qiao back, but no matter how Wu Lu called in his heart, Naihe Qiao didn't seem to hear him and didn't respond at all.
Zhou Shu held the Naihe Bridge and glanced at the faceless man with a half-smile.
The faceless man's heart skipped a beat, and he was covered in cold sweat.
"No one can snatch away the magic weapons that fall into the hands of this king, even if you are a weapon spirit."
Zhou Shu said calmly.
When he spoke, he didn't even look at the faceless man, and he didn't know whether his words were meant for himself or for the faceless man to hear.
"Whoosh——"
The faint blue flame was withdrawn into the divine weapon map, and the divine weapon map also disappeared.
The faceless man and Peng Jiuyuan suddenly felt a lightness on their bodies, and the burning feeling in their souls disappeared immediately.
"Peng Jiuyuan, tell me everything you encountered after Cao Yue and I left. Don't leave out anything."
Zhou Shu turned to look at Peng Jiuyuan and said.
"Yes."
Peng Jiuyuan was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
The faceless man hesitated to speak, but Zhou Shu gave him a cold look, and he was so frightened that he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything more.
Now that the Naihe Bridge is in Zhou Shu's hands, his life and death depend on Zhou Shu's thoughts. He dare not have any thoughts at all.
Peng Jiuyuan began to tell what happened after they separated from Zhou Shu that day.
At that time, the village chief and Cao Yue killed the Dong family's knights. They were afraid of the Dong family's revenge on Jieqiao Village, so they prepared to go into the mountains to escape.
Everything was normal at the beginning. Jieqiao Village relied on the mountains and they were very familiar with everything in the mountains.
Going into the mountains to escape is actually nothing to them.
Originally, they thought that after hiding in the mountains for a few months, they would be able to return to the village and start their normal lives.
But not long after entering the mountain, they discovered a place shrouded in thick fog, which was a scene they had never seen before.
Out of curiosity, they walked into the thick fog and saw the Naihe Bridge.
A bridge suddenly appeared in the mountains, and of course they would be very curious.
At that time, they never imagined that the bridge was the legendary Naihe Bridge.
After testing and finding no danger, the village chief led everyone onto the bridge.
That's where things went wrong. After stepping onto the Naihe Bridge, they couldn't get off.
Although the Naihe Bridge seemed to be only 100 feet long, they walked for many days without getting out. Not only could they not get out, they would be the same even if they retreated.
They were completely trapped on the bridge.
They were trapped for more than ten days. If they hadn't brought some food and water with them, they would have all starved to death.
Just when the food and water were exhausted and their lives were hanging by a thread, this faceless man suddenly appeared in front of them.
At that time, Peng Jiuyuan thought the Faceless Man was his father, and then he was fooled by the Faceless Man.
What happened next was that the faceless man took over Peng Jiuyuan's body, and then slaughtered all the people in Jieqiao Village.
Peng Jiuyuan fell to his knees and started crying.
When he thought of the village chief and others dying in his own hands, he wanted to take his own life immediately.
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. This faceless man was the weapon spirit of Naihe Bridge. Why did he massacre the people of Jieqiao Village?
Those people are just ordinary mountain people, and they have no enmity or enmity against Naihe Bridge.
Moreover, this weapon can obviously take shape, so why did he control Peng Jiuyuan to kill people?
Zhou Shu's eyes fell on the faceless man and he said coldly, "It's your turn, go ahead."
"Me?"
The faceless man was stunned and said, "What did you say?"
"Need me to remind you?"
Zhou Shu said coldly, "Why do you want to manipulate Peng Jiuyuan and why do you want to kill people?"
"This——"
The faceless man was hesitant. He had no facial features, but Zhou Shu could still feel his emotions.
Naihe Bridge was controlled by him with the help of the Divine Weapon Map, and everything about this faceless man was already under his control.
If he wanted to, he could even directly make this faceless man's soul fly away.
But even so, he had no way of knowing what the faceless man was really thinking, unless he was willing to use Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie Mentality on the faceless man.
However, Zhou Shu really didn't know if he could succeed in using Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly Mental Technique on a weapon spirit.
"This has nothing to do with you."
The faceless man is still squirming.
Zhou Shu snorted coldly, "This is not something you need to care about. Whatever I ask you, you just say it. If you don't say it, then you have no value in existence."
The faceless man was so depressed that he couldn't sense Zhou Shu's emotions, and he didn't know if Zhou Shu was trying to scare him with his words.
But he didn't dare to gamble. If he lost the bet, he would really be dead.
It took him thousands of years to transform into success. This life was hard-won and he didn't want to die.
After a moment of silence, the faceless man slowly said, "I didn't know they had anything to do with you..."
"Humph!"
Zhou Shu snorted again.
The faceless man suddenly felt a burning feeling in his soul, and it surged into his heart again. His body trembled, and he did not dare to delay any longer.
"Naihe Bridge has a lot to do with the bloodline of the Peng family. I possess Peng Jiuyuan in order to completely eliminate the connection between Naihe Bridge and the Peng family."
"This is why I kill, I want to be free!"
The faceless man said loudly, "I am who I am, and I am not willing to be manipulated by the Peng family. I want to be free!"
"Freedom?"
Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the faceless man, "Did you secretly control the great changes in the Peng family?"
"Do you think you will be free after destroying the Peng family?"
After all, Zhou Shu was well-informed and understood many things in almost an instant.
The Peng family, one of the nine surnames of Zhurong, experienced great changes that year. The direct line of the Peng family suffered all casualties, and was finally taken over by a side branch.
Peng Jiuyuan, the only direct descendant, ended up being reduced to a country boy.
Even so, he did not escape this tragic end.
Combined with what the faceless man said, Zhou Shu immediately figured out the matter.
This faceless man has the ability to sense people's hearts, and he can naturally deceive them.
If he did it deliberately, it would not be that difficult to destroy a family.
"Yes!"
The faceless man spoke bluntly and said, "The Naihe Bridge is the Peng family's artifact to suppress the clan. As long as you have the direct bloodline of the Peng family, you can control the Naihe Bridge."
"If the Peng family is not destroyed, I will never be free, and I will always be controlled by them."
"But because of the Naihe Bridge itself, I can't directly kill the Peng family."
"So I incited the Peng family to fight among themselves, but I didn't expect that the Peng family would eventually slip through the net."
"I found Peng Jiuyuan and then tricked him into killing people. I originally wanted him to die with those people, but I didn't expect that Peng Jiuyuan's body actually contained a huge power. I accidentally activated it when I possessed him.
That power then caused Peng Jiuyuan's strength to increase dramatically..."
"You mean, Peng Jiuyuan's sudden increase in strength is not because of you?"
Zhou Shu interrupted the faceless man and asked.
He originally thought that Peng Jiuyuan's current strength was due to Naihe Bridge.
Unexpectedly, there is another reason for this.
"No, if I possess him, it will only affect his behavior, not his strength."
The faceless man shook his head and said, "That power is the power he possesses."
Zhou Shu turned to look at Peng Jiuyuan, who also looked puzzled.
Looking at him like that, he didn't even know what the power in his body was.
Zhou Shu had also been in contact with Peng Jiuyuan before, and even he didn't realize that Peng Jiuyuan contained this kind of power, let alone Peng Jiuyuan himself.
If Peng Jiuyuan knew that he had this kind of power in his body, Peng Jiuyuan would not have been so helpless when the Dong family knights killed the villagers of Jieqiao Village.
If he had the strength he has now, it would be easy to kill a dozen Dong family knights.
The Peng family has quite a few secrets.
"You just said that the spirits of the villagers in Jieqiao Village are still there?"
Zhou Shu didn't care about Peng Jiuyuan's internal power for the time being. He looked at the faceless man and asked.
"Yes."
The faceless man nodded and said, "Their souls are on the Naihe Bridge."
"I originally wanted to wait until Peng Jiuyuan died before driving them away."
The faceless man's tone became weaker and weaker. He could now naturally see that Zhou Shu had a close relationship with the villagers of Jieqiao Village. If Zhou Shu wanted to avenge them...
