Zhou Shu walked into the city lord's palace with his hands behind his back, followed by four powerful Tianzun.
I don’t know, I thought those four powerful Tianzun men were his guards. Who knew that those four powerful men escorted him here.
He leisurely looked at the environment of the city lord's mansion and said, "This Tongguan City has changed its surname to Hou now?"
"The Ge family's strength is not very good, so the Sixth Elder just stepped forward, and someone named Hou was riding on his head?"
"Don't sow discord!"
A voice said coldly, "I, Hou Baidong, have no desire to covet Tongguan City. The Sixth Elder has a broad mind and he trusts me so he allows me to investigate this matter. How can my friendship with the Ge family be different?"
How many words can you say to slander me?"
Hou Baidong's figure appeared on the threshold, looking at Zhou Shu with a cold face.
"What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. If I say a few words, it will certainly not affect the facts."
With a smile on his face, Zhou Shu said, "Tell me, if you go to such great lengths to invite me over, why do you want to take care of me?"
"A good thing?"
Ge Zhenfeng sneered and said, "Wu, you are so bold that you dare to join forces with Ge Changlong and Jin Kui to embezzle Yuanshi!"
"You are a prisoner now, so don't show such an attitude. Otherwise, even if I kill you on the spot, no one will say anything!"
Ge Zhenfeng's fists clenched loudly. He stared at Zhou Shu with a sinister smile on his face.
This kid never thought they had this trump card, right?
Let’s see how he can jump like this!
If Hou Baidong hadn't said that he wanted to find out something from Wu Zongquan, Ge Zhenfeng would have tortured this kid to death, made him suffer the greatest pain in the world, and then sent him on his way, so that he could get rid of the bad breath in his heart!
"Pa bang bang——"
Instead of being afraid, Zhou Shu smiled and clapped, "Beautiful!"
"How dare you think of using this method to slander me."
Zhou Shu looked at the two of them and said, "In order to slander me, he did not hesitate to hook up with the Lord of Tongguan City and the Deputy Lord of Tiangong Pavilion. It seems that Ge Changlong and Jin Kui are really not up to par, in their own territory."
, I was actually taken care of by you two."
"Let me ask, are they two still alive?"
"This is not your concern."
Hou Baidong said coldly, "Wu Zongquan, three thousand kilograms of ore were lost in Yuanshi Mine. According to my investigation, Ge Changlong, Jin Kui, and you are the biggest suspects, especially you!"
"Don't take chances. If you explain it honestly and clearly, there may be a chance of survival. Otherwise, you will definitely die!"
Hou Baidong looked at Zhou Shu, with a flash of pride in his eyes.
Now, he wanted to see what other tricks Wu Zongquan could pull off.
"By the way, I'd like to remind you, don't think that the spirit insect you control can still summon an army of spirit insects. I have blocked Tongguan City and it can't get out."
Hou Baidong added.
"It seems that you are well prepared."
Zhou Shu praised.
"Huh, kid, you are meat on the chopping board now. There is only one way to go, and that is to tell the truth honestly!"
Ge Zhenfeng shouted coldly.
"Wu Zongquan, I think it's not easy for you to cultivate. As for me, my biggest weakness is my kindness."
Hou Baidong waved his hand to signal Ge Zhenfeng to calm down and said.
"Pfft——"
Zhou Shu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Are you kind-hearted? If you say this, I’m afraid you’ll be laughed at.
Hou Baidong is indeed the third-ranked deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion. He is so shameless.
He didn't look embarrassed at all and continued, "I'm giving you one last chance, allowing you to make meritorious deeds. As long as you hand over all the secret weapons you have mastered, then I will personally plead with the superiors to spare your life."
."
Hou Baidong's eyes were shining brightly, and even his expression was slightly excited.
I don’t know if Wu Zongquan is the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master. Many of the secret techniques of weapon-making he has mastered are ones that I have never understood. If I can get these from him, it will be of great help to me! p>
Even if he is really the pavilion master's direct disciple, so what?
Everything he is doing now is in compliance with the law. Even if the Pavilion Master comes in person, he cannot blame himself!
The matter involves Yuanshi, even if the pavilion master is here, he can never protect Wu Zongquan!
Hou Baidong thought with some pride, and couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.
The method I came up with is really amazing!
"Why don't you ask me, did I steal that Yuanshi?"
Zhou Shu looked at Hou Baidong with a half-smile but said, "Originally, there was no problem at all in the Yuanshi Mine. As soon as you and Ge Zhenfeng came, it was stolen. If you ask me, you two are also suspects! Now I suspect that you two
He is the real thief!"
"Haha——"
Hou Baidong laughed loudly, "You doubt us? Boy, you are still a little too young. When doing things, you must pay attention to evidence!"
"Bring it up!"
He clapped his hands, and then several people were escorted in.
Those people were clearly the slave miners of Yuanshi Mine.
Then Hou Baidong clapped his hands again, and a powerful Tianzun walked in, holding a piece of Yuanshi Ore the size of a baby's fist in his palm.
"Human and physical evidence, plus Ge Changlong's testimony."
Hou Baidong said with a smile, "Wu Zongquan, there is no use in sophistry. As the Sixth Elder said, you have only one way to go, and that is to plead guilty and then make meritorious deeds."
"With all the witnesses and physical evidence, plus the confessions of the accomplices, it's really seamless."
Zhou Shu sighed and said, "It seems that even if we are in front of the Holy Spirit, I will be the thief, not you."
"That's right!"
Ge Zhenfeng said proudly, "Young man surnamed Wu, you are so bold that you want to secretly hide the Yuanshi to make soldiers. This is a big taboo. If the Holy Spirit knew about it, he would slap you to death!"
"Wu Zongquan, I can still suppress the matter now. If the matter is really reported, then you will have no choice but to die."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Hou Baidong continued to persuade.
The two of them spoke to each other in a very threatening manner.
It seems that when things have reached this point, Zhou Shu has no choice but to die, or he can only accept his crime and perform meritorious service, using all the secret skills of forging weapons in exchange for his own life.
"I want to know how you obtained Ge Changlong's testimony."
Zhou Shu looked at Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng and said with a half-smile, "Ge Changlong doesn't look like a weakling. Why would he do this?"
"If it falls into our hands, I have a way to make him cooperate honestly."
Ge Zhenfeng sneered, "You have to admit it even if you admit it, or you have to admit it if you don't!"
"So, he is in danger?"
Zhou Shu sighed and said.
He still has a good impression of Ge Changlong, a cheap sworn brother.
With Ge Changlong's personality, he would definitely not admit his guilt easily.
Moreover, Ge Changlong and Jin Kui did not steal Yuanshi at all and allowed Ge Changlong to write a testimony. It is conceivable that Ge Changlong must have been treated inhumanely.
Maybe Hou Baidong used the tightening curse on him.
Zhou Shu also sighed repeatedly in his heart. He did not expect that this guy Hou Baidong could actually achieve this level.
But having said that, this guy just learned the casting method of the Tightening Curse, and he cast the Tightening Curse so quickly?
If this is really the case, then the weapons casters in this world really cannot be underestimated.
When he saw Jin Kui's level before, he thought that the armor masters in this world were just average.
Now it seems that the real master may be countless times more powerful than Jin Kui.
Jin Kui ranks last among the deputy heads of Tiangong Pavilion, and it seems there is a reason.
"If I plead guilty and perform meritorious service, can Jin Kui and Ge Changlong be exempted from guilt together?"
Zhou Shu said.
Putting aside Jin Kui's strength in forging soldiers, his support for himself is obvious to all. If he could give him a hand, Zhou Shu would still want to give him a hand.
"You are about to die, but you still have time to care about others?"
Hou Baidong shook his head and said, "Stealing Yuanshi is a capital crime. If you survive, I have already taken a huge risk. The two of them must die."
"Wu Zongquan, at this point, you should consider whether your own life can be saved."
Hou Baidong sneered.
"Hou Baidong, you are wrong."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "In the hearts of people like you, the most important thing is your own life."
"You wouldn't know that in some people's hearts, their own life is the least important thing."
"Since Ge Changlong and Jin Kui are already dead, or they died because of me, then why should I, Wu Zongquan, be afraid of death?"
Zhou Shu stood upright with his head held high and shouted, "Kill if you want. If I, Wu Zongquan, just snort, then my surname is Wu, and you will raise him!"
He was upright and took the initiative to take a step forward and raised his neck.
Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng were both stunned. How could this guy be so tough?
Is he really not afraid of death?
Hou Baidong's face was gloomy and he snorted coldly. He was indeed a difficult boy.
It seems that he knows his own value and knows that he will not kill him easily, so he puts on such an appearance of trying to win people's hearts.
If Ge Changlong and Jin Kui saw this, wouldn't they be extremely moved?
Those two guys, I'm afraid they will become even more devoted to this person in the future.
No wonder those two guys would rather die than say anything. How could those two careless guys outplay a scheming man like Wu Zongquan?
Zhou Shu didn't know that he had become a scheming person in Hou Baidong's heart.
Of course, he is indeed acting now.
"You think I don't dare to kill you?"
Hou Baidong said coldly, "Let me tell you, even if I kill you, I can still get everything I want from your soul."
"Wu Zongquan has fallen into the hands of this pavilion master. You have no chance to choose. I just see that you are a talent, so I want to give you a way out. If you persist in your obsession, don't blame this pavilion master for being ruthless.
Got it!"
Hou Baidong's body exuded a fierce murderous aura, and the surrounding air began to cool down. There was even a layer of hoarfrost on the ground.
Although Hou Baidong is the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion and a technical talent, his martial arts strength cannot be underestimated.
I don’t know how many people were killed to gather this murderous aura.
"Tsk, tsk."
Zhou Shu said in surprise, Jin Kui, who was also the deputy chief of Tiangong Pavilion, was crushed in all aspects. Even the third deputy chief was already like this. The two deputy chiefs in front of him,
How powerful will it be?
Jin Kui also dreams of becoming the master of Tiangong Pavilion. Considering his strength, this is really a wishful thinking.
If he can become the lowest-ranked deputy pavilion master, it's already like smoke rising from his ancestral grave.
Compared with Hou Baidong, Jin Kui is as simple as a primary school student.
"Threatening me? Do you really think I'm scared?"
Zhou Shu sneered and said, "If you have the ability, kill me."
"Pavilion Master Hou, since this kid is so stubborn, let me teach him a lesson!"
Ge Zhenfeng said eagerly.
Hou Baidong nodded, not to let this boy suffer. It seemed that he would not give in.
"Be careful and take a breath."
Hou Baidong said.
Ge Zhenfeng nodded with a sinister smile and walked towards Zhou Shu.
A weak chicken who has not even reached the realm of Tianzun, why don’t you abuse him however you want?
This bastard dared to treat me like this before. This time, I will let you see the consequences of offending me!
"Kacha——"
Ge Zhenfeng walked step by step, and the green bricks under his feet instantly turned into powder.
Zhou Shu frowned and said, "Although this is Ge Changlong's palace, you can't take it so seriously, right?"
Zhou Shu looked at Ge Zhenfeng and said.
Ge Zhenfeng was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"Are the floor tiles free? If they were stepped on and broken into pieces, will you pay?"
Zhou Shu said angrily.
"You are looking for death!"
Ge Zhenfeng was furious. In this situation, are you talking to me about floor tiles?
How many bricks will I break under my feet, and I still have to pay?
Have you seen your situation clearly?
I want to teach you a lesson now!
"Boom——"
Ge Zhenfeng finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised his fist, and smashed it towards Zhou Shu.
He is a strong man, even if he has restrained most of his strength, this punch still has the power to destroy the world.
If he wasn't afraid of killing Wu Zongquan with one punch, Ge Zhenfeng's momentum would be even stronger.
He seemed to have seen Zhou Shu knocked to the ground by his punch, and then he punched and kicked him.
The anger I have held in for so long can finally be vented.
You bastard, I am the sixth elder of the Ge family. Anyone who dares to disrespect me will have only one end!
Seeing Ge Zhenfeng's attack, Zhou Shu's expression did not change at all, as if the one who was about to attack him was not a strong man from heaven, but a child with insufficient evidence.
He flipped his wrist, and a dark object suddenly appeared in front of him.
He raised his arm and held the dark mass in front of himself and Ge Zhenfeng.
"Stop!"
Hou Baidong's expression suddenly changed and he yelled.
His voice was extremely impatient, and the moment he spoke, he rushed forward violently.
After all, Ge Zhenfeng is a strong man in the Tianzun realm, and he can send and receive power freely. As soon as Hou Baidong's voice sounded, he stopped moving, and his fists stopped in front of Zhou Shu.
Then, he felt a huge surge of force, and his body flew out involuntarily.
"Hou Baidong, what are you doing!"
Ge Zhenfeng was also furious and called him by his name without hesitation.
This Hou Baidong actually attacked him from behind!
"Sixth Elder, please be patient!"
Hou Baidong looked solemn and shouted in a deep voice.
His reaction made Ge Zhenfeng stunned, wondering whether he should continue to get angry.
I saw Hou Baidong staring at the dark thing in Zhou Shu's hand, and a feeling of fear emerged from the bottom of his heart.
His body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
This is——
Yuanshi!
Everyone in the world knows that Yuanshi is a weapon-casting material with extreme properties. This kind of weapon-casting material cannot be smelted by mortal power.
There is only one person in the world who can smelt Yuanshi and use Yuanshi to forge divine weapons.
That is the master of Tiangong Pavilion!
Even if Wu Zongquan is really the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master, with his current strength, he will never be able to smelt Yuanshi!
As we all know, the current master of Tiangong Pavilion was gifted with the Yuanshi smelting method only after he took over the position of master.
Hou Baidong absolutely does not believe that the master of the pavilion has passed on such a secret technique to outsiders.
The Pavilion Master would never dare to do this!
Only the divine is qualified to teach the original smelting method!
Now, in Zhou Shu's hand, there is a ball of smelted Yuanshi. What does this mean?
It means that he is really the direct disciple of the Pavilion Master!
Not only that, the Pavilion Master is still here!
No matter what kind of person Hou Baidong is, his skill in forging weapons is genuine.
He could tell at a glance that the dark thing in Zhou Shu's hand was Yuanshi after smelting, and it was Yuanshi who had just been smelted not long ago!
Yuanshi has just been smelted not long ago. Doesn’t that mean that the Pavilion Master is here?
Hou Baidong trembled all over when he thought that the Pavilion Master was here and saw what he had done with his own eyes.
Outsiders would never imagine how terrifying the Pavilion Master is.
Even if he is the deputy master of Tiangong Pavilion, in front of the master, he is no different from an ordinary armorer.
To the Pavilion Master, he is like an ant, and the Pavilion Master can easily crush him to death!
"Pavilion Master——"
Hou Baidong's voice trembled.
Zhou Shu raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"It seems I guessed right."
Zhou Shu said with a smile, "Pavilion Master Hou is really well-informed and actually knows it."
"Since I know it, I don't need to explain it any more, right?"
"Where is the pavilion master?"
Hou Baidong took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said, "Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding. Since the master of the pavilion is here, you naturally have no suspicion."
Hou Baidong is also a person who can bend and stretch. At this moment, he has already made his stance clear.
"Pavilion Master Hou!"
Ge Zhenfeng hadn't realized what was going on. Seeing that Hou Baidong was about to let Wu Zongquan go, he suddenly said angrily.
"Shut up! If you don't want to die, just shut up!"
Hou Baidong also shouted angrily.
Zhou Shu looked at the two of them playfully, the effect was better than he imagined.
I like smart people like Hou Baidong. You don’t have to do anything, and he will think a lot by himself, so much that he can scare himself.
"Do you think you are qualified to ask me this question?"
Zhou Shu sneered and said, "Hou Baidong, do you know your guilt?!"
Zhou Shu shouted loudly, which made Hou Baidong tremble all over, and he fell to his knees with a pop.
