752 The Thousand-Year-Old Collection of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven Is Mine (1)
The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was a sealed small world.
The Tang family had absolute control over the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Perhaps it was because of this that there were almost no guards in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
After all, under normal circumstances, outsiders couldn't enter the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
There was no need to add another door behind the door.
!!
Following Tang Shiyi's memory, Zhou Shu arrived at the Tang family's warehouse unimpeded.
The Tang family had built this so-called warehouse by hollowing out a mountain.
The mountain was thousands of feet tall, and the entire mountain had been hollowed out. It was conceivable how big the space inside was.
In this large space was the thousands of years worth of collection of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. As soon as Zhou Shu entered, he was shocked.
To describe the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven as being rich enough to rival a country was underestimating it.
Even the treasuries of the Ten Nations combined might not be able to compare to this.
No wonder the grotto-heavens didn't take the Ten Nations' regimes seriously. In terms of wealth and power, the Ten Nations' regimes were nothing in front of the grotto-heavens.
This dazzling array of treasures was placed naked on rows of shelves like naked beauties in front of Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu drooled.
Fortune and misfortune depend on each other. He couldn't help sighing. The ancients were right!
It was originally a bad thing for the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven to plot against him by framing and even capturing him. But now, it seemed that it was not necessarily the case.
Hmph, you injured Xiaoyu'er. I'll collect some interest now!
Zhou Shu's heart stirred slightly as he sensed the location of the Ming Hong Saber.
Stepping in front of a row of shelves, Zhou Shu was surprised to discover that the shelves were made of high-grade sandalwood. These shelves alone were priceless outside.
As expected of a force that had lasted for thousands of years, it was rich!
The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven is already so rich, yet they acted so shamelessly for a Divine Stone. It seems that Divine Stones might be more valuable than I imagined.
Zhou Shu picked up his Ming Hong Saber and put it into his body.
It had to be said that Tang San trusted Tang Shiyi enough. He actually let him enter this storehouse full of treasures alone without worrying that he would pocket anything.
But then again, Tang San might not be too worried.
This was the Tang family's storehouse, and Tang Shiyi was a core member of the Tang family. There was no need for him to steal anything.
Besides, even if he took too much, the family could easily locate him if he was discovered.
Therefore, Tang San wasn't worried that Tang Shiyi would take too many things from the storehouse.
But he would never have dreamed that this Tang Shiyi was not the real Tang Shiyi but Zhou Shu!
Zhou Shu put away the Ming Hong Saber and found the Kun Wu Saber and the Tiger Soul Saber on another wooden shelf.
When Zhou Shu saw the Tiger Soul Saber, his face lit up.
Perhaps it was because Tang San and the others didn't check the Tiger Soul Saber properly, but the Tiger Soul Saber didn't run away. Instead, they casually left it here.
"Big White, are you still here?" Zhou Shu picked up the Tiger Soul Saber and flicked the blade.
Buzz—
The Tiger Soul Saber emitted a white light, and the phantom of a white tiger appeared in the air. It stretched and let out a low roar.
The Tiger Soul Saber had been sealed by Bai Qianqian in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court with a secret forging technique. But Bai Qianqian's skills were not high, and the intelligence of the Tiger Soul had been damaged, so it couldn't be like Shi Changsheng.
"It's nothing. Go back to sleep."
When Zhou Shu saw the tiger soul's appearance, he understood. It turned out that the tiger soul had been sleeping the entire time. No wonder the Tiger Soul Saber didn't take the initiative to fly back to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
"We're not there yet. You can go back to sleep."
Bai Qianqian had sent this tiger soul named Big White to deliver things for Zhou Shu. When it heard Zhou Shu say that they hadn't arrived yet, it yawned again, and its light dissipated in the air.
How can a tiger soul be sleepy? Zhou Shu thought speechlessly, but it wasn't important.
He didn't need the tiger soul's help to fight now. With the Tiger Soul Saber, it was enough.
Zhou Shu really wanted to thank Bai Qianqian. Fortunately, she had lent him the Tiger Soul Saber.
Otherwise, he would definitely have returned empty-handed from this treasure mountain.
How many things could his Cosmic Bangle contain?
Facing the Tang family's storehouse, Zhou Shu couldn't even be bothered to look for his Cosmic Bangle.
There were indeed some good things in the Cosmic Bangle that Tang San and the others had taken away, but Zhou Shu had placed most of them in Xiaoyu'er's grotto-heaven.
Another portion was placed in the world of the Tiger Soul Saber.
The Tiger Soul Saber was a one-heaven divine weapon. It contained one world, and the space was not inferior to the grotto-heaven of ordinary Grotto-Heaven experts.
One had to know that breaking through to the Grotto-Heaven realm did not mean that one would have a grotto-heaven space right from the start. The size of the grotto-heavens varied with different cultivations.
And the inner worlds in divine weapons were a shortcut compared to having cultivation at the Grotto-Heaven realm.
Zhou Shu activated his spiritual essence and activated the world inside the Tiger Soul Saber. A tornado swept through the storehouse in the mountain.
Wherever the tornado passed, not a single blade of grass grew. All the treasures, including the red sandalwood shelves, were swept up by the tornado and stored in the world inside the Tiger Soul Saber.
A one-heaven divine weapon contained one world. This space was much larger than a mountain.753 The Thousand-Year-Old Collection of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven Is Mine (2)
Seeing rows of wooden shelves and the treasures on them flying into the Tiger Soul Saber, Zhou Shu finally vented most of the depression in his heart.
This time, I must make the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven suffer a double loss!
Zhou Shu laughed in his heart.
Didn't you want to kill me for money and snatch my Divine Stone?
Then I'll snatch everything and see who the final winner is!
If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you really think that I am a pushover?
In the huge mountain, the wind howled with echoes.
Zhou Shu looked warily at the entrance. He was a little nervous. After all, he was in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, the Tang family's headquarters. Once he was discovered, the Tang family would go crazy.
While he was nervous, he was also pleased. This feeling made his blood boil. This nervous and excited feeling made him a little engrossed.
After four hours, he finally stored everything in the mountain inside the Tiger Soul Saber.
I have to hurry up and forge my own grotto-heaven divine weapon.
Looking at the empty mountain interior, Zhou Shu felt his heart skip a beat.
The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had collected all these treasures for thousands of years.
There were so many that Zhou Shu felt a little flustered.
With so many heaven and earth treasures stored in the Tiger Soul Saber, if the Tiger Soul Saber flew away, Zhou Shu would have wasted all his efforts.
After all, the Tiger Soul Saber was not his divine weapon but a weapon Bai Qianqian had lent him. She could take back the Tiger Soul Saber at any time. Besides, the Tiger Soul Saber had its own intelligence, so it might fly away on its own.
According to Tang Shiyi's memories, there's another secret chamber in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Only the head of the Tang family can enter. There are countless good things inside. Unfortunately, I can't enter. Zhou Shu shook his head regretfully.
He didn't dare to stay any longer. He had already emptied this place. Once someone came in, the entire Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven would go crazy.
The most important thing now was to leave the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven with Tang San and the others as soon as possible. After leaving the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, he had plenty of ways to slowly deal with Tang San and the others!
Since the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven bullied him, this matter wouldn't end so easily!
Zhou Shu closed the door of the Tang family's storehouse and made sure that there was no one around before flying up. He first returned to the torture chamber before meeting up with Tang San.
When Zhou Shu saw Tang San, Tang San had already gathered the people who would look for the Divine Stone. Other than Tang Qi, whom Zhou Shu knew, there were two other Grotto-Heaven experts.
In addition, there was a team of more than a hundred people.
These hundred people also let Zhou Shu once again understand the strength of the grotto-heavens. None of them were below the third rank of the Martial Dao.
When Tang San saw Tang Shiyi arrive, he said without hesitation, "Shiyi, lead the way. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, we'll set off now. As long as we can find the Divine Stone, the family head will reward us handsomely!"
"Yes!" everyone shouted excitedly.
Zhou Shu didn't know why they were so excited. Their nest had been emptied…
"Everyone, follow me." Zhou Shu led the way toward the exit of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
Tang San and the others followed. They didn't know that by following Zhou Shu, they might really end up in a ditch.
A group of more than a hundred people walked toward the exit of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, but the leader was not someone from the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
But Tang San, Tang Qi, and the others didn't know.
Seeing the exit of the grotto-heaven getting closer and closer, Zhou Shu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. As long as he left the grotto-heaven, he wouldn't have to be afraid of someone discovering the storehouse's situation. Be it hiding or fighting, he had the final say.
At this moment, a stream of light suddenly flew over at an extremely high speed.
Zhou Shu had a bad feeling.
"Under the orders of the family head, the grotto-heaven is sealed. People can only enter and not leave! No one is allowed to leave the grotto-heaven!" the person shouted and raised a jade token in his hand.
The jade token shone brightly. Before anyone could react, the entrance of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had already been completely sealed.
This person was very fast. Before Zhou Shu could escape, the entrance of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had already disappeared.
Zhou Shu's heart sank, but he didn't show it on his face.
Tang San stepped forward and frowned. "Tang Jiu, what happened? Why is the grotto-heaven sealed?
"We still have to help the family head find something. What if we're delayed?"
The person put away the jade token and looked at Tang San. He said in a deep voice, "You should ask the family head! Tang San, the family head has summoned you. You should think about how to explain it to him."
"Impudent!" Anger flashed across Tang San's face. "Who are you to call me Tang San? What do I have to explain to the family head?"
"You should know what to explain to the family head!" Tang Jiu sneered. "Let's go. Don't make the family head wait!
"And all of you, go back and wait for instructions! You are not allowed to move around at will. Do you understand?"
Tang Jiu looked arrogant even when facing Tang San. His attitude toward others was naturally not any better.
Tang San frowned, but he couldn't be bothered to say anything to Tang Jiu. His figure turned into a ray of light and flew toward Tang Qianluo's palace.
Zhou Shu's heart skipped a beat. Tang San didn't know what had happened, but Zhou Shu knew very well.
He didn't expect the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven to discover it so quickly.
Logically speaking, Tang San was in charge of the storehouse. He didn't even go to the storehouse. Why would others suddenly go?
Now, it was no longer important how the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had discovered it. What was important was how to bluff his way through.
Previously, Tang Shiyi had gone to the storehouse. When Tang San and Tang Qianluo talked about it, they would immediately understand.
Zhou Shu could no longer use Tang Shiyi's identity.
Fortunately, no one suspected Tang Shiyi yet. He still had time!
Zhou Shu's gaze shifted and finally landed on an Earth Immortal.
…
In Tang Qianluo's palace, Tang San fell to his knees with a thud, his entire body drenched in sweat.
"Family Head!" Tang San said loudly. "I, Tang San, have been in charge of the storehouse for a hundred years. I've been conscientious and have never made a single mistake! I swear to the heavens that it's definitely not me!"
"Hmph, I know you don't have the guts!" Tang Qianluo's face was as cold as ice. The armrests of the chair creaked as if they could collapse at any moment.
"Think carefully about who has been in the storehouse recently!" Tang Qianluo said angrily.
"Recently?" A thoughtful expression appeared on Tang San's face, and he immediately said loudly, "Today, Tang Shiyi went to the storehouse! He said that because he interrogated Zhou Shu, his torture tools were damaged, and he needed some materials to repair them, so I sent him to the storehouse!"
"Tang Shiyi?" Tang Qianluo frowned. "Where is he?"
"I was just about to bring him along to find the Divine Stone. He should have been stopped too," Tang San replied.
"Men, bring Tang Shiyi to me!" Tang Qianluo shouted. "In the thousands of years of my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, there has never been a traitorous beast. If I find out who dared to touch the things in the storehouse, I will definitely smash them into pieces!"
Tang Qianluo was brimming with killing intent. He had needed something at the last minute, so he had sent someone to the storehouse to get it. In the end, the storehouse was empty, with not even a single stone left!
This made Tang Qianluo furious.
Although the storehouse was only an outer storehouse, it was still the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven's collection over thousands of years. The daily expenditure of the Tang family's disciples came from the storehouse.
If the storehouse was emptied, it would definitely have an extremely serious impact on the Tang family.
Anyway, the key was that no one had ever dared to mess with the Tang family in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Who dared to touch the Tang family's storeroom?!
Although he had sent someone to take Tang Shiyi, Tang Qianluo actually didn't believe that Tang Shiyi had done it.
"Investigate! Have Zheng Chengan and Ji Lutian left the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?!" Tang Qianluo shouted angrily.
He regretted putting on airs back then. He should have personally sent the two of them out of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven!
But if the two of them really didn't leave and instead caused trouble in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, then don't blame him for being ruthless!
In the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, it was not their turn to be impudent! Tang Qianluo's eyes erupted with intense killing intent.
754 Even If You're As Cunning As a Ghost, You Have to Be My Worker (1)
In the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, in the palace of the Tang family's head, Tang Qianluo, an Earth Immortal Realm martial artist ran in.
"Family Head, Tang Shiyi is missing!" the martial artist shouted.
"Missing?" Tang Qianluo's and Tang San's expressions changed at the same time.
"How could a person suddenly disappear?" Tang Qianluo said coldly. "Where's Tang Jiu? Where did he go?!"
"Lord Tang Jiu is looking for Tang Shiyi," the martial artist replied. "After Lord Tang San returned, Lord Tang Jiu asked Tang Shiyi and the others to return to their residences to wait for instructions. When I went to summon Tang Shiyi, Lord Tang Jiu entered Tang Shiyi's residence with me and found that Tang Shiyi was already gone!"
Tang Qianluo's expression was extremely ugly. Something like this had never happened in thousands of years in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven!
The storehouse had been emptied, and now, even a Tang family disciple had mysteriously disappeared!
Tang Qianluo would never believe that Tang Shiyi had escaped with the money!
Tang Shiyi was a core member of the Tang family. The family would definitely not lack the resources he needed for cultivation. There was absolutely no need for him to do this.
Moreover, Tang Shiyi should know that by doing this, he would be cutting himself off from the family, and the family wouldn't let him off.
No one in this world could escape the pursuit of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven!
No matter how Tang Qianluo looked at it, there was no need for Tang Shiyi to do this!
Now that Tang Shiyi had suddenly disappeared, it was very likely that he had an accident!
"Family Head, could it be that an outsider has sneaked into our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?" Tang San looked bewildered. He really couldn't figure out how this happened.
How could someone be so bold as to loot the storehouse of the Tang family of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?!
Were they planning to fight the Tang family to the death?
"Ever since the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven appeared, only three outsiders have entered," Tang Qianluo said coldly. "Zheng Chengan, Ji Lutian, and… Zhou Shu!"
"Zhou Shu?" Tang San frowned. "He's just a prisoner. How can he have this ability?"
"How much do you know about him?" Tang Qianluo said coldly. "I knew it. Ji Lutian chose him. How could we capture him so easily?
"I'm afraid it was part of Ji Lutian's plan that he was captured and brought into the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. With this as an excuse, Ji Lutian could enter my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven!" Tang Qianluo narrowed her eyes.
"Zhou Shu might not be able to do this, but with Ji Lutian, nothing is impossible!
"Ji Lutian, if you are really still in my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, you're courting death!"
Tang Qianluo stood up and snorted. "You should be grateful that I didn't find trouble with you. How dare you take the initiative to provoke my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven? You must have a death wish!
"Tang San! Gather all the Tang family members and prepare for war!" Tang Qianluo shouted. "When you find their traces, capture Ji Lutian alive at all costs! If anyone else is around, kill them without mercy!"
Tang San also held back his anger and shouted, "Yes!"
Soon, everyone from the Tang family in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven gathered.
Thousands of people stood in a mess on a square. The entire place was silent.
All the Tang family disciples had nervous expressions on their faces. Most of the Tang family disciples didn't know what had happened and could only wait for their elders' instructions.
In the crowd, there was an Earth Immortal disciple of the Tang family. Like the other disciples, he had a puzzled expression.
A moment later, Tang San descended from the sky with a violent aura. "Everyone, listen up. An enemy has sneaked into the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. From now on, everyone will start searching. Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find him!
"This is what the enemy looks like. Remember, the enemy is very ferocious. None of you are his match. Once you discover his whereabouts, immediately send a signal!"
Tang San shot out a beam of light. The light condensed into a portrait of a person in the air.
Ji Lutian? Zhou Shu opened his mouth, surprised.
They didn't even investigate and directly accused Ji Lutian?
Is this the talent of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven? Framing people indiscriminately?
What does this matter have to do with Ji Lutian?
Zhou Shu was speechless. Previously, the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven had forcefully pinned the crime of colluding with the Demon Realm on him. Now, they placed the charge of emptying their storehouse on Ji Lutian. Had the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven always been like this?
Zhou Shu actually felt a little better. This was how people were. When he found out that he wasn't the only one being wronged, he actually felt a little better.
This is too unjust for Ji Lutian. Zhou Shu mourned silently for Ji Lutian for three seconds, but he had no intention of explaining for him.
Previously, when Tang Qianluo said that he was the person chosen by Ji Lutian, Zhou Shu had always taken it to heart. Although he didn't know what this had to do with Ji Lutian, he didn't care if it could cause him some trouble.
"Yes!" Zhou Shu and the Tang family disciples shouted together.
When Tang Jiu appeared and called Tang San back, Zhou Shu had already realized that something was wrong.
He immediately abandoned the Tang Shiyi identity and became an ordinary Earth Immortal martial artist.
As for Tang Shiyi and Tang Wu, Zhou Shu had locked them up in the world of the Tiger Soul Saber instead of killing them directly. If he kept them alive, they might be of great use at a critical moment.
755 Even If You're As Cunning As a Ghost, You Have to Be My Worker (2)
Just as Zhou Shu had expected, although they were looking for Tang Shiyi, they didn't suspect that there was anything wrong with the ordinary disciples of the Tang family.
Zhou Shu blended into the group and began to search the entire Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven for Ji Lutian.
The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was very spacious. It was not inferior to the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven and the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
Hundreds of millions of people lived here, which was comparable to a country.
It was easier said than done to search such a large place thoroughly.
All the Tang family disciples had moved out and mobilized the soldiers in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Even so, the search progress was still not fast.
Zhou Shu and the Tang family disciples, who had split into teams, led thousands of soldiers to search the two cities.
He had no intention of going easy on Ji Lutian and dutifully searched for him.
Since the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven said that Ji Lutian was here, it was definitely not a casual remark. Perhaps Ji Lutian was really in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.
If they can really find him… Zhou Shu wondered what Ji Lutian would do facing the slander of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. It'd be good if he wreaks havoc in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven and makes Tang Qianluo and the other bastards suffer.
Unfortunately, even after searching the two cities, Zhou Shu couldn't find any traces of Ji Lutian.
Boom!
Just as Zhou Shu was feeling a little disappointed, a loud bang suddenly came from afar, and a firework-like red light soared into the sky.
"There's a situation. Quick, go provide support!" The Tang family disciples teaming up with Zhou Shu shouted and called for the soldiers to fly toward the place where the red light rose.
Zhou Shu didn't hesitate. He blended into the crowd and followed at a moderate speed.
Boom!
Before they could reach the place, they saw several powerful auras soaring into the sky.
"Ji Lutian! It's indeed you!" Tang Qianluo's angry voice sounded. "Return what you stole and surrender. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing you!"
"Family Head Tang, what are you saying? I only stayed here to find Zhou Shu. I didn't steal anything." Ji Lutian's voice sounded. "Brother Zheng can testify to this."
"I'll testify! We're just looking for someone. There's nothing good in your Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. Tang Qianluo, who do you think we are?" Zheng Chengan's voice also sounded. He actually didn't leave.
Zhou Shu didn't know Zheng Chengan, but he had seen Ji Lutian before and was extremely familiar with his voice.
Ji Lutian is really here, and he's looking for me? Zhou Shu's heart skipped a beat. Why is Ji Lutian looking for me?
"Take these thieves down!" Tang Qianluo didn't listen to Zheng Chengan and Ji Lutian's explanation at all. With his shout, several powerful auras soared into the sky from all directions.
A square seal appeared in Tang Qianluo's hand!
The moment the seal appeared, Zhou Shu even felt the entire world tremble.
Ji Lutian and Zheng Chengan were originally very calm facing the siege of more than ten Grotto-Heaven experts. But when they saw the seal in Tang Qianluo's hand, their expressions changed drastically.
"Tang Qianluo, are you crazy?" Zheng Chengan shouted. "Do you really want to fight us to the death?"
Boom!
A dazzling light rose from Tang Qianluo's body, and the seal in his palm began to emit a dazzling light.
"I should be the one saying this," Tang Qianluo said coldly. "You entered my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven and robbed my Tang family's treasury. Do you really think you can bully my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?
"Today, I'll let you know that my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven isn't an easy target!"
He raised his arm. The seal soared into the sky with the wind and enlarged. In an instant, it became thousands of feet wide and smashed toward Zheng Chengan and Ji Lutian like a mountain.
The world of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven seemed to freeze. Zhou Shu felt as if everything around him had temporarily stopped. He was horrified to discover that it had become very difficult for him to move.
Boom!
This feeling only lasted for an instant. Then Zhou Shu saw an exquisite little pagoda appear in Ji Lutian's hand. The exquisite little pagoda was thrown up, and it instantly enlarged and locked onto the seal.
The Demon Subduing Pagoda! It's indeed him! Zhou Shu's eyes lit up. He finally recognized the exquisite pagoda in Ji Lutian's hand.
It was the Demon Subduing Pagoda that Zhou Shu had personally completed the last step of forging in the Heavenly Hub Armory!
This Demon Subduing Pagoda had been forged by the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain back then. But before it could be completed, something seemed to have happened to the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. Then it was nurtured in the Heavenly Hub Armory for thousands of years and finally forged by Zhou Shu.
Back then, when the Demon Subduing Pagoda was completed, it directly suppressed Tushan and flew away.
Zhou Shu had always suspected that Ji Lutian had something to do with the Demon Subduing Pagoda flying away. Now, he was finally certain.
Ji Lutian, oh Ji Lutian, you are so cunning. In the end, you're still my worker.
Zhou Shu followed the Tang family disciples to wave banners and cheer in the surroundings. Earth Immortals like them couldn't interfere in a battle between Grotto-Heaven experts.
Tang Qianluo, Ji Lutian, and Zheng Chengan were already furious. If not for the seal in Tang Qianluo's hand freezing the surrounding space, they would probably have already fought until the ground collapsed.
Boom!
Tang Qianluo's body was dazzling, as if a god had descended into the world. He raised his voice and shouted, "Ji Lutian! Zheng Chengan! This is my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven! How can you defeat me?! Surrender, and I might spare your lives! If we continue fighting, I can't guarantee that I won't hold back!"
"Try it if you have the ability!" Zheng Chengan shouted. "If not for the enhancement of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, I could beat you with one hand!"
"Family Head Tang, this is just a misunderstanding. I can explain. Please stop for now." Ji Lutian controlled the Demon Subduing Pagoda and only defended without attacking.
The Demon Subduing Pagoda was a legacy work of the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain. What Zhou Shu had done was only the last step. Even with Zhou Shu's current forging skills, he might not be able to forge such a divine weapon.
This Demon Subduing Pagoda was a connate divine weapon that could even easily suppress Tushan.
However, the seal Tang Qianluo was using wasn't an ordinary divine weapon. It could even connect with the entire Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven and held the advantage over the Demon Subduing Pagoda.
Ji Lutian's face was pale, and his body was trembling. He had been seriously injured previously and had yet to recover. He couldn't withstand such an intense battle at all.
Zheng Chengan and Ji Lutian were back to back, exuding powerful auras. Zheng Chengan controlled a flying sword in his hand, and sword light filled the sky, preventing anyone from approaching within a hundred feet.
The people of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven were confident of victory, so they didn't want to advance rashly. The Grotto-Heaven experts kept wandering around Zheng Chengan and Ji Lutian and attacking them with their divine powers.
They had the numbers and geographical advantage. As long as they continued to exhaust the two of them, the two of them would be trapped.
Zhou Shu's eyes flickered. If Tang Qianluo and the others captured Ji Lutian and Zheng Chengan, they would know that Ji Lutian didn't rob the Tang family's treasury.
That can't happen!
But with Zhou Shu's current cultivation, he really couldn't deal with Grotto-Heaven experts.
I can't take action recklessly. I have to think of something.
Zhou Shu hated that someone had taken his Reincarnation Mirror. Otherwise, if he threw the Reincarnation Mirror to Ji Lutian now, he would definitely be able to turn the tables.
The Reincarnation Mirror was an eighteen-heaven connate divine weapon!
It's too late to forge a divine weapon now. Ji Lutian, I hope you can work harder. This is all I can help you with.
Zhou Shu looked around. Taking advantage of the chaos, he kept retreating. When there was no one around, he disappeared silently.
