1152 How Can a Mere Zhou Shu Compare to Us Grotto-Heaven Masters? (2)
The gigantic hand of the enemy from beyond the heavens was being restrained by Ji Lutian and Bai Qianqian. It definitely didnât have much strength now.
Therefore, if it wanted to affect him, it could only possess demonic beasts like it had possessed Tang Tang.
Moreover, Zhou Shu felt that with its current strength, it couldnât even control the Demon Emperors.
Otherwise, it wouldnât have chosen Tang Tang.
This was an opportunity.
Most of the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm might not know of its existence. The Demon Emperors might know a little, but in its current situation, it was probably unable to give orders to the Demon Emperors directly.
Getting Tang Tang to be its envoy was Zhou Shuâs sudden idea.
His goal this time was to save the Demon Ancestor. He didnât want to fight the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm.
The time for the battle had yet to arrive.
In any case, Tang Tang had come knocking on his door. Whether he succeeded or not, there would be no loss in sending him to cause trouble in the Demon Realm.
âAlright, Iâll go!â Tang Tang said. âBut I want to know who possessed me. This way, I wonât expose myself immediately.â
Zhou Shu nodded. His lips moved slightly, but he didnât make a sound.
It wasnât that he didnât trust Yang Hong and Yao Qing, but the matter about the enemy from beyond the heavens could easily affect morale. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Tang Tangâs expression kept changing. He took a deep look at Zhou Shu.
Then he bowed deeply, threw a map to Yang Hong, and strode away.
His figure appeared lonely but carried an indomitable aura.
The last person from the Tang family of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven might not be able to return alive.
But he had no choice!
âŠ
In the Bao Guang Grotto-heaven, Shang Qiuzi had already received the news that Tang Lan had escaped.
He frowned. âYou canât even do such a small thing well. No wonder the dignified Grotto-Heavens are being bullied by a mere mortal nation!â
Shang Qiuziâs expression was cold. His speech didnât match his sage-like appearance at all.
The person of the Bao Guang Grotto-Heaven lowered his head, not daring to speak.
But he cursed in his heart. Which nation is riding on the head of the Grotto-Heavens?
Donât the Ten Nations obediently pay tribute to the Grotto-Heavens every year?
Ancestor, you are the one who was bullied by someone outside the Grotto-Heavens.
Of course, he wouldnât dare to say such words in front of Shang Qiuzi. If he really dared to say it, Shang Qiuzi would probably beat him to death immediately.
The man lowered his head and said respectfully, âAncestor, we will definitely capture Tang Tang. The Tang familyâs assets will definitely not fall into the hands of others.â
Shang Qiuzi snorted. âDo you think someone is so kind as to save Tang Tang? Since Tang Tang has fallen into the hands of the other party, do you think others will give you a chance?
âOn the path of cultivation, thereâs usually only one chance. If others take it away, you wonât have it anymore. If you want to ride against the tide, you have to fight for it.â
Shang Qiuzi said coldly, âLet go of your responsibilities as the superintendent of the Bao Guang Grotto-Heaven and go into seclusion to cultivate for a period of time.â
Shang Qiuzi waved his hand. This person knew that what he had done this time did not satisfy the ancestor, so the ancestor removed his authority.
He sighed inwardly. After his ancestor woke up, he, the superintendent of the grotto-heaven, had long existed in name only. It didnât matter if he was the superintendent or not.
He bowed respectfully to Shang Qiuzi before turning around and leaving.
Shang Qiuziâs expression only changed slightly after the person left. He frowned in thought. A gigantic hand⊠Could it be a coincidence?
He seemed to think of something. The next moment, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared into the Bao Guang Grotto-Heaven.
A moment later, Shang Qiuzi appeared outside another Grotto-Heaven.
He let out a long cry. A moment later, a figure walked out of the Grotto-Heaven.
Shang Qiuzi whispered to the figure for a moment, then the two of them disappeared together.
This scene repeated several times.
Finally, in the depths of the Endless Sea, several Grotto-Heaven Masters gathered in midair.
âShang Qiuzi, are you sure it appeared again?â a Grotto-Heaven Master looked at Shang Qiuzi with a solemn expression.
âAlthough I didnât see it with my own eyes, Iâm almost certain,â Shang Qiuzi said in a deep voice. âThere are great changes in the world. There must be a great evil in the world.
âDo you still remember the war a thousand years ago? In that war, half of our Thirty-Six Grotto-Heavens were lost.â
Shang Qiuzi said, âIn the beginning, it was a mysterious gigantic hand that injured Diao Daocun!
âNow that the mysterious gigantic hand has reappeared, coupled with the fact that Zhou Shu killed Brother Tang for no reason, I have every reason to suspect that Zhou Shu is a disaster! Moreover, itâs very likely that heâs in cahoots with the gigantic hand!â
Shang Qiuziâs killing intent surged as he said sharply, âWhat happened back then canât happen again. I think we should destroy them before they can succeed! Otherwise, the outcome of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain and the others is a lesson for us!â
The Grotto-Heaven Masters frowned.
âShang Qiuzi, all of this is just your speculation. Weâve investigated for so many years, but weâve found nothing,â a Grotto-Heaven Master said. âHow can you be sure that Zhou Shu is on their side?â
âIsnât it simple to understand?â Shang Qiuzi said.
âThink about it. We Grotto-Heaven Masters have all cultivated for hundreds of years before becoming Grotto-Heaven Masters. Who is Zhou Shu? Iâve investigated. Heâs at most around a hundred years old now. Even more than a hundred years ago, he was only an ordinary martial artist who wasnât even an Earth Immortal.
âNo matter how talented a person is, how can he cultivate from a martial artist who wasnât even an Earth Immortal to a Grotto-Heaven Master in little more than a hundred years? How can he become powerful enough to kill Brother Tang?â
Shang Qiuzi continued with certainty, âItâs not that I want to say this, but even if Diao Daocun were still alive, he might not be able to kill Brother Tang. Even though Wang Xuanyi is so arrogant, do you think he can really kill Brother Tang?â
The expressions of the Grotto-Heaven Masters changed subtly.
What Shang Qiuzi said did make sense.
They were all Grotto-Heaven Masters. Although there were differences in strength, the difference was not that great.
Diao Daocun was number one in the world back then, but he might not be able to kill Tang Lan. Even if he could, he would have to pay a huge price.
It was the same for Wang Xuanyi. If they wanted to kill a Grotto-Heaven Master, it would definitely result in an internecine outcome.
âEver since the birth of Grotto-Heaven Masters, the only person who could kill Grotto-Heaven Masters has been that mysterious gigantic hand! Zhou Shu is the second. I definitely donât believe that he has nothing to do with that hand!â
Shang Qiuzi said affirmatively, âEveryone, this is what I think. When the mysterious gigantic hand killed Diao Daocun and the others back then, he was also injured. All these years, his injuries might not have completely recovered. Therefore, although Zhou Shu is strong now, heâs not so strong that heâs invincible. This is our chance, and it might be our only chance.
âIf we can kill him now, the knife hanging over our heads will be gone. We will finally be able to sleep in peace.â
âWhat youâre saying is all based on the fact that Zhou Shu is the mysterious gigantic hand or that theyâre in cahoots. What if heâs not?â a Grotto-Heaven Master questioned.
âSo what if heâs not?â Shang Qiuzi said indifferently. âHow can the life of a mere Zhou Shu compare to ours? At worst, we will accidentally kill one person. Everyone, I would rather betray this world than let this world betray me. We, the Grotto-Heavens Masters, are the pillars of this world. We are the most important existences in this world! How can a mere Zhou Shu compare to us!â
