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.
