An old man with white beard and hair and a vigorous look stared at the news footage in amazement.
With a slight thought in his mind, the spiritual ring between his fingers suddenly flashed, and the cornerstone of the avenue quietly appeared in his hand.
He looked at the cornerstone of the avenue in his hand, then looked up at the TV screen, with a series of question marks floating on his forehead.
What the hell is going on?
The cornerstone of the avenue is clearly in his possession, so how could it fall into the hands of a barbarian for no reason? And it's in Ping'an County...
The shock on his face only lasted for a moment, and the old man quickly regained his composure, squinting his eyes and staring at the scenes that were being replayed on the TV.
Now, everyone in the world thinks that the cornerstone of the great road lies in the hands of that barbarian young man, but the old man knows that this is pure nonsense.
They fought fiercely against Zuo Chongming, and it took a lot of effort to kill the monster.
The old man's attention was always on the cornerstone of the avenue, so he had a chance to get the cornerstone and escape.
In other words, the cornerstone of the great road in the old man's hand is real. He personally snatched it from Zuo Chongming, and the barbarian is fake.
Then the problem comes...
Is that barbarian young man mentally ill?
No, that's not right!
The barbarian young man seemed to be forced into a desperate situation and had to reveal his secret, but in fact he did so deliberately.
If he really had such a treasure as the cornerstone of the great road, he would not have been able to conflict with the enemy in the first place. It would be safest to pretend to be cowardly and give in.
"Someone did this on purpose."
The old man's eyes flashed: "Since I obtained the cornerstone of the avenue, I have never shown it to anyone, causing the popularity of the cornerstone of the avenue to fade away day by day."
"This is something some people don't want to see, because in this day and age, once there is no heat and attention, it is too difficult to stir up the topic."
"So, this barbarian young man is a chess piece, and the purpose of his appearance is to remind the world, so as to stir up the popularity of the cornerstone of the avenue."
"If everyone in the world is paying attention to this matter, then in the future I will have to beware of walls having ears in every word and deed, even when I walk, sit or lie down."
"Under such circumstances, I want to find other parts secretly... It is almost impossible. After all, no one in this world is a fool..."
Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The people who are instigating this matter have very vicious minds.
The other party took advantage of the popularity of the cornerstone of the avenue to attract the world's attention to this object.
This is to let everyone in the world become his eyes, staring at any news and clues about the cornerstone of the avenue.
In this way, even if the old man got the cornerstone of the avenue, he would never dare to take it out easily, or even reveal the slightest bit of information.
In a sense, the other party's tactics left little room for the old man's mediation, and the role of the cornerstone of the avenue was also minimized.
"but……"
The old man suddenly thought of a new idea, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Everything has advantages and disadvantages. This incident may be able to explode some fish."
At present, he alone is looking for the missing part of the cornerstone of the avenue, which is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
If this matter can attract some people to show up, it will save the old man the need to search. He can just wait for the incident to pass and start secretly.
"Without further ado, let's go."
Thinking of this, the old man no longer hesitated and immediately got up and left here, rushing to Ping'an County...
The cornerstone of the avenue is the core, and all that is missing are leftovers. Therefore, when the old man holds the cornerstone of the avenue, his range of perception is wider and more sensitive.
As long as someone comes with parts of the cornerstone of the avenue, he will definitely notice it first.
In addition, he himself is in the Dharma Realm, and his combat power is at the top of the world, enough to quietly deal with the opponent...

"Tsk tsk~!"
Long Zu listened to the whispers of the people around him, calmly flipped through the newspaper in his hand, and muttered in his heart: "It should be almost done."
He really spent a lot of effort to create such a thing.
Seeing that the situation was developing in the direction he expected, Long Zu still felt a strong sense of accomplishment.
"call……"
He rubbed his forehead tiredly, exhaled softly, and cursed in his mind: "What kind of pervert is Zuo Chongming?"
The game he set this time has already made him dizzy and exhausted, but think about the experience of that guy Zuo Chongming...
Compare the two sides and make a judgment.
Such a disappointing gap made Long Zu secretly scold that guy for being a pervert.
After sorting out his thoughts, he raised his head and looked out the window at the endless, shadowy mountains, and his eyes gradually became darker.
The next thing he wants to do is naturally go to the far west to explore whether the so-called underworld is...
Huh?
The corners of Long Zu's eyes suddenly trembled, and his thoughts were interrupted by several people who came into view.
Those guys looked familiar to him, because it was a long time ago... well, it felt like a long time ago, but in fact it was less than ten years.
At that time, Xiyun Mansion was booming, and Zuo Chongming was at the height of his power.
At that time, Zuo Chongming sent people to Dongtian Yun Mansion to look for clues about the ruins of Heavenly Court, and later handed over information to Long Zu.
Unfortunately, this group of people was attacked by unknown people soon after. Most of them died in Dongtianyun Mansion, and the rest were missing.
Long Zu never expected to meet them here today.
Calmly, Long Zu silently changed his face and quietly pricked up his ears.
Perhaps it was time to get along with Zuo Chongming, and Long Zu's suspicion became more and more serious.
When he discovered these people, the first reaction in his brain was - what a coincidence, something is wrong!
"Oh, it's such a hard job."
One person let out a long, whiny sigh.
The person next to him shrugged and agreed casually: "Who says it's not the case, but what I don't understand is why the boss wants us to go to the far west."
The companion guessed: "Isn't the far west the home of Bald Donkey? Although Bald Donkey later ran to southern Xinjiang, there might be some secrets here that haven't had time to be dealt with."
The woman scratched her head in confusion: "Do you think the boss is going to attack Bald Donkey?"
"maybe."
The bearded man shook his head and cursed: "Look at the current situation. On the surface, there is peaceful coexistence, but in fact there is an undercurrent."
"The smell of gunpowder between the Three Kingdoms is so strong that it chokes my nose. I might have to start working on it at some point."
"So, I think the boss asked us to go to the far west. He is actually going there in advance to inspect and occupy the land so as to leave a way out."
Although their communication had been lowered, it was only carried in the ears of a few people.
But the gap between them and Long Zu was too big, and Long Zu easily succeeded.
"They also went to the far west?"
Long Zu's pupils suddenly shrank, and his brows twisted up unconsciously: "Did that guy Chen Tianlong also find some clues?"
After thinking hard for a moment, Longzu gave up.
Although he couldn't figure it out for the time being, as long as he followed these people, he would soon be able to clear up the confusion.
