352, He can sit in the position of Pavilion Master, why can’t I?
"Plop——"
Hou Baidong kneeled to the ground subconsciously, and the next moment, he reacted.
His face turned red, Hou Baidong jumped up and glared at Zhou Shu.
"Wu Zongquan, don't go too far!"
Hou Baidong shouted angrily, "Everything I do complies with the rules. Even if the Pavilion Master is here, he can't say anything. I do things according to the rules!"
"The Yuanshi Ore was stolen. As the deputy head of Tiangong Pavilion, I have the responsibility to investigate clearly, and you are indeed the biggest suspect. No one can say anything about this!"
Hou Baidong shouted sternly, "Don't use the title of Pavilion Master to scare me, I'm not afraid!"
He said he was not afraid, but his body was shaking slightly and his face was extremely pale.
Even a fool can see his fear now.
Zhou Shu wondered in his heart, is the master of Tiangong Pavilion so scary?
Without even showing your face, Hou Baidong was already frightened into this state?
You must know that this Hou Baidong is a real and powerful Tianzun. Among the masters Zhou Shu has seen in his life, he is enough to rank in the top ten.
Moreover, Hou Baidong was also a weapon forger, a powerful weapon forger that Zhou Shu had seen in his life, whose skill at forging weapons was second only to his own.
Such a person is so afraid of the master of Tiangong Pavilion. One can imagine how terrifying the master of Tiangong Pavilion is.
Such a terrible person has not been seen for many years. Is he alive or dead?
A flash of doubt flashed in Zhou Shu's heart.
But it doesn't matter. He is now thinking about what to do with Hou Baidong next.
Speaking of which, Zhou Shu took out the Yuanshi ore that had been treated by Mu Yuan just to verify an idea in his mind.
He originally thought that if this didn't work, he would really have to reveal his identity and have a fight with Hou Baidong, Ge Zhenfeng and the others.
But now it seems that, as he thought, only the master of Tiangong Pavilion can smelt the Yuanshi ore.
And even with Hou Baidong’s identity, he doesn’t know the secret of smelting Yuanshi ore!
They probably never imagined that the method of smelting Yuanshi ore could be so simple, just release spiritual insects.
Then again, this method is indeed not something that ordinary people can use.
You must know that spirit insects are hostile to humans. The meaning of their existence is to eliminate humans from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth. Any spirit insect that confronts humans will be destined to die.
No one would want to throw a spirit insect into the Yuanshi Mine.
Furthermore, without a binding curse, no one can control spirit insects.
There is a close relationship between the Tightening Curse and the smelting of the Yuanshi ore. No wonder the casting method of the Tightening Curse is a secret kept by the master of Tiangong Pavilion.
I'm afraid that the master of Tiangong Pavilion is also worried that the method of controlling spiritual insects will be leaked.
"The Yuanshi ore was stolen, am I a suspect?"
Zhou Shu said, "Wrong, I am not a suspect, I am an accomplice."
"This is the stolen Yuanshi Ore you are talking about. I will give it to you. Do you dare to take it?"
Zhou Shu said calmly.
Hou Baidong and Ge Zhenfeng have no idea whether Yuanshi Mine has been stolen. In such a big mine, who knows how many Yuanshi mines there are?
They originally framed and framed it!
Now Zhou Shu actually said that he had really stolen the Yuanshi Ore. Hou Baidong, who should have been happy, was not happy at all now.
What Zhou Shu has in his hands is indeed Yuanshi, but it is the processed Yuanshi.
In the world, the only person in the world who can smelt Yuanshi is the Pavilion Master.
In other words, the piece of Yuanshi in his hand must have been given to him by the Pavilion Master.
Are you saying that the pavilion master stole Yuanshi?
Stop making trouble, the Yuanshi of this world, after being collected, will be delivered to the pavilion master.
Only the Pavilion Master can help the Holy One to forge divine weapons.
How could a person steal something that was meant to be delivered to him?
And the pavilion master is most likely nearby. Although I don’t know why he didn’t show up, Hou Baidong doesn’t dare to talk nonsense now.
"I have investigated clearly the theft of Yuanshi. It has nothing to do with you."
Hou Baidong was confused. Why did the pavilion master suddenly appear?
Without the Pavilion Master, my plan would have been successful. If Wu Zongquan fell into my hands, no matter how many secrets he had, he would still have to tell me.
By then, the deal is done, and even if the Pavilion Master returns, he will not be able to find fault with me. After all, every step I take is in accordance with the rules.
But it’s different now. The presence of the pavilion master and the fact that the pavilion master knew about it afterwards are completely different concepts!
With the Pavilion Master here, I have no chance to interrogate Wu Zongquan.
Not only that, with the strength of the Pavilion Master, it is simply easy to kill people like us.
Hou Baidong doesn't dare to act rashly now. If he really offends the Pavilion Master, even though they have many powerful Tianzuns, he will still be dead.
With the strength and status of the Pavilion Master, killing these people will not have any consequences at all.
"Oh? Is the investigation clear? Then I don't know who the culprit is."
Zhou Shu said calmly, "You don't want to tell me that the culprits are Ge Changlong and Jin Kui?"
"If it's the two of them, then I still have nothing to do with it. They are both my people."
Zhou Shu looked directly at Hou Baidong and said calmly.
Hou Baidong already greeted Wu Zongquan's eighteenth generation ancestors in his heart.
If he hadn't been worried about the Pavilion Master who might be in Tongguan City but didn't show up, he would have asked Ge Zhenfeng to beat the bastard to death!
"Of course it's not the two of them!"
Hou Baidong said in a deep voice, "The two of them were just cooperating with the investigation. I immediately asked someone to let them go. The real culprits are them!"
While speaking, Hou Baidong raised his hand and killed the slave miners who were serving as witnesses on the spot.
He struck so quickly that even Zhou Shu had no time to stop him.
Looking at the slaves who had turned into flesh and blood on the ground, Zhou Shu frowned.
People here really don't take human life seriously, Ge Changlong and others do the same, and Hou Baidong does the same.
They kill people when they say they will. From the looks of them, they don’t regard these slaves as human beings at all.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Zhou Shu now knows that these miner slaves are basically the same as them, coming from the small world within the leaves of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and coming here through the gate of the realm.
Speaking of which, if he hadn't mastered the ever-changing magical powers, I'm afraid he would be in exactly the same situation as these slaves now.
"Killing people and silencing them, well done."
Zhou Shu said coldly.
That is to say, Hou Baidong is thick-skinned. His expression remained unchanged and he said in a deep voice, "This matter is over now. The stolen Yuanshi has been recovered and the culprit has been brought to justice."
"Wu Zongquan, I want to see the Pavilion Master. I don't know when is the most convenient time?"
Hou Baidong stared at Zhou Shu and asked in a deep voice.
"Just wait."
Zhou Shu waved his hand and said coldly, "I'm going back home to rest now. Do you have any objections?"
"No."
Hou Baidong said with a cold face.
"By the way, Ge Changlong and Jin Kui, hurry up and release them. I hope to see them appear in front of me intact, otherwise, I don't know what I will say."
Zhou Shu turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped, turned around and said.
Hou Baidong's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water, and he said coldly, "You will get your wish!"
Zhou Shu chuckled, clasped his hands behind his back, and left the city lord's mansion with a swaying step.
His back had just disappeared at the door of the City Lord's Mansion, and Hou Baidong could no longer suppress his anger.
"Asshole!"
He destroyed half of the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion with one palm, gasping for air, and his eyes were already red with anger.
"Pavilion Master Hou, what's going on? Can you explain it clearly before venting?"
Ge Zhenfeng finally couldn't help but speak.
He was stunned by Hou Baidong's reaction just now, but until now, he still doesn't understand what happened.
Why did Hou Baidong suddenly change his mind when he was already sure of victory?
Not only did they let that kid go, but they also wanted to let Ge Changlong and Jin Kui go.
Isn’t this a waste of all previous efforts?
"The master of the pavilion is in Tongguan City."
Hou Baidong panted for a long time, and then said coldly, "If we dare to touch him, the master of the pavilion may come out and kill all of us!"
"Master of Tiangong Pavilion?"
Ge Zhenfeng's face changed drastically, "How is this possible? How could he be in Tongguan City? Hasn't he not been seen for decades? Didn't everyone say he was dead?"
"Watch your words!"
Hou Baidong's expression changed and he looked around nervously.
He lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "No one knows what the situation of the Pavilion Master is. But he is in Tongguan City and is the real deal!"
"Only the Pavilion Master in the world knows how to smelt Yuanshi. Even if Wu Zongquan is really his direct disciple, it is impossible for him to master Yuanshi's smelting method now! There is no doubt about this."
"Wu Zongquan has a piece of Yuanshi that has just been smelted in his hand. He can't do it, so I can't think of any other explanation except that the pavilion master is in Tongguan City!"
Hou Baidong's face was very ugly, and his fists clenched loudly.
Obviously everything is under control, why, why is the Pavilion Master here?
"That's not right. A big shot like the Master of Tiangong Pavilion. If he is really in Tongguan City, why doesn't he show up?"
Ge Zhenfeng said with some confusion, "If he shows up and gives us some courage, we won't dare to do anything to his disciples."
He really couldn't figure it out. The master of Tiangong Pavilion was not on the same level as them in terms of status and strength.
If they had known that the master of Tiangong Pavilion was here, they would not have dared to cause so many things.
"I can't figure it out either."
Hou Baidong said in a deep voice, a light glowed on his body, covering him and Ge Zhenfeng.
"I suspect that there may be something wrong with the body of the Pavilion Master."
"There's something wrong with your body? What do you mean?"
Ge Zhenfeng was not a very smart person, so he asked doubtfully.
"The Pavilion Master has not shown up for decades. Some people have long suspected that the Pavilion Master has encountered something unexpected. Now it seems that this may not be groundless!"
Hou Baidong said in a deep voice, "Do you think, as the master of the pavilion, why would you come to a remote town like Tongguancheng? And why would you accept a little-known Wu Zongquan as a disciple?"
"You mean, that boy Wu Zongquan is really the direct disciple of the master of Tiangong Pavilion?"
Ge Zhenfeng said in shock.
"That's not the point!"
Hou Baidong said speechlessly, this Ge Zhenfeng is really a bit unclear. With such an opponent, I really don't know whether it is good or bad!
"Who is the Pavilion Master? If he wants to recruit disciples, there are plenty of geniuses in the world for him to choose from!"
Hou Baidong continued.
"That's not true."
Ge Zhenfeng said, "Although this Wu Zongquan is very hateful, he seems to be really good at forging weapons..."
Hou Baidong couldn't help but rolled his eyes, did you fucking understand the point?
Too lazy to talk to Ge Zhenfeng about this, Hou Baidong continued, "Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the Pavilion Master to come to a place like Tongguan City casually."
He seemed to be talking to Ge Zhenfeng, and he seemed to be thinking about it himself.
"It is very likely that he ended up in Tongguan City because of an accident. Such an accident is likely to result in serious injuries."
"Suppose the Pavilion Master was seriously injured and the injury was so severe that he could not return to Tiangong Pavilion safely, so he hid in Tongguan City."
"It happened that he was rescued by Wu Zongquan. Because of the grace of saving his life, the master of the pavilion taught him the art of forging weapons."
"It is also because the injury has not healed and the pavilion master is worried that his whereabouts will be exposed and attract the enemy's whereabouts, so he refuses to show up."
"That is to say, the current Pavilion Master is still seriously injured!"
A flash of light flashed in Hou Baidong's eyes, and the aura on his body fluctuated violently, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Over there, Ge Zhenfeng was still shocked that the master of Tiangong Pavilion appeared in Tongguan City.
"The master of Tiangong Pavilion is Tongtian, and he has countless magic weapons. Who can seriously injure him?"
Ge Zhenfeng said doubtfully, "Besides, the master of Tiangong Pavilion is a holy person. Even if someone is unhappy with him, who would really dare to kill him?"
"And you said, if the master of Tiangong Pavilion is really seriously injured, and then we protect him and return to Tiangong Pavilion, will it be regarded as a great achievement? Do you think he will personally forge a magic weapon for me at that time?
Repay me?"
Ge Zhenfeng said with some excitement.
Hou Baidong snorted coldly, he was no longer in the mood to roll his eyes.
This Ge Zhenfeng, it is true that he relied on nepotism to get to the position. It is really impossible to hold up the wall!
If he couldn't find other partners, he would really like to kick Ge Zhenfeng out directly.
"Be bold."
Hou Baidong said coldly, "Why can't the magic weapon on the master's body be yours?"
His words were full of murderous intent.
Even though Ge Zhenfeng was slow, he still reacted.
He looked at Hou Baidong with a horrified expression and stammered, "Pavilion Master Hou, don't you want to..."
There was some fear in his eyes, and he was in a panic.
"How is this possible? We can't do it!"
"If it were placed at other times, of course we wouldn't be able to do it."
Hou Baidong said coldly, "If it were any other time, I wouldn't even think about this idea! I will be the most loyal lackey of the Pavilion Master!"
"But now——"
Hou Baidong's face was filled with murderous intent.
"Why do you think he doesn't dare to show his face directly? He is afraid!"
"He's afraid of us!"
"The dignified Master of Tiangong Pavilion is actually afraid of several powerful Tianzuns. What does this mean? His injuries are probably much more serious than we imagined! He is afraid that even the powerful Tianzun will not be able to defeat him!
”
"This is our chance!"
"No matter how many benefits Wu Zongquan has, how can he compare to the Pavilion Master?"
"Compared with the pavilion master, Wu Zongquan is just a beggar. Now that there are better choices, why should we settle for the second best?"
"The master of Tiangong Pavilion, he can do it, but I, Hou Baidong, why can't I do it?"
Hou Baidong's eyes were so bright that he was so powerful that Ge Zhenfeng couldn't help but take two steps back.
"What if it fails?"
Ge Zhenfeng said with a trembling voice, he is slow, but not stupid.
Hou Baidong wants to deal with the master of Tiangong Pavilion. This is a big deal. Once he fails, the entire Ge family will be in doom!
"If you want to gain something, you have to take risks. The greater the risk you take, the greater the benefits you will get."
Hou Baidong said coldly, "Sixth Elder, if I can succeed, you will be my most loyal ally, and the position of head of the Ge family will belong to you."
"Really?"
Ge Zhenfeng was slightly startled, and his heart moved slightly.
The sixth elder of the Ge family, no matter how nice it sounds, is just an elder. The head of the Ge family is different. He really holds great power and is so high that he can decide the life or death of hundreds of millions of people with just one word.
The entire Ge family has to obey the orders of the family head, which is different from the status of the elders.
Before today, Ge Zhenfeng had never thought that he could become the head of the Ge family. It was basically impossible.
But now, Hou Baidong has really aroused his ambition.
Yes, others can take the position of head of the Ge family, so why can’t I, Ge Zhenfeng?
"Pavilion Master Hou, how sure are you?"
Ge Zhenfeng gritted his teeth and asked.
"Confirmed?"
Hou Baidong shook his head, "That is the master of Tiangong Pavilion. Even if he is seriously injured, it is definitely not that easy to kill him. How can you be sure?"
"I only know that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! No one knows that the Pavilion Master is in Tongguan City, and no one knows that he is seriously injured. If we can catch him, what will we say to the outside world? It is not a matter of our words?" "At that time, I will be the head of the Tiangong Pavilion, and you will be the head of the Ge family. If you and I join forces, who else in this world can compare with you and me?"
Ge Zhenfeng was so excited by Hou Baidong's words that he wanted to laugh out loud when he thought of that scene.
Yes, when the time comes, who will dare to be rude to Ge Zhenfeng?
"Done!"
Ge Zhenfeng gritted his teeth and said, "If you work hard, you will be worth more than ten million if you succeed. If you don't succeed, you will die in the worst case! It's worth it!"
Hou Baidong nodded and said in a deep voice, "Having said that, we are not going to die. We also need to find a way to determine the extent of the Pavilion Master's injuries!"
"How to determine?"
Ge Zhenfeng said that using his brain is really not his specialty.
"Just tell me what you want to do, I, Ge Zhenfeng, will never give you a second thought!"
"This matter will still fall on Wu Zongquan."
Hou Baidong's eyes flickered as he thought, "Only Wu Zongquan in Tongguan City knows where the pavilion master is, and only he can find the pavilion master."
"For him, the Pavilion Master did not hesitate to expose his own existence. This shows that Wu Zongquan is very important to the Pavilion Master. As long as we can grasp Wu Zongquan, we will not worry about finding the Pavilion Master."
Hou Baidong said in a deep voice, "If Wu Zongquan is in danger, do you think the pavilion master will not be able to help but take action personally?"
