“Hmph, are you a thief trying to catch a thief? Aren’t you the one who assassinated the head of our Dong family? Let me tell you. If you think you can leave alive after showing up, you’re delusional!” Dong Jian shouted.

Zhou Shu curled his lips up slightly, unconcerned.

The status of the sixth brother of the Dong family should be above Dong Jian’s. He waved his hand, and Dong Jian shut up.

The sixth brother looked at Zhou Shu with a solemn expression. “I can give you a chance to talk. If what you say can’t satisfy our Dong family, then I’ll take your life here in the Dong family’s headquarters.”

Zhou Shu smiled indifferently. “That depends on whether you have the ability.”

“Please!”

Compared to Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong, the sixth brother was at least much more imposing.

He made an inviting gesture.

Zhou Shu wasn’t afraid at all. He calmly stepped through the door of the Dong family’s headquarters.

Although the sixth brother of the Dong family was quite imposing, he wasn’t a fool.

It was impossible for him not to be on guard against a suspected enemy entering the headquarters.

The few experts of the Dong family who had just come with him followed Zhou Shu closely.

These experts were all at the Grotto-Heaven realm. If Zhou Shu really had ulterior motives, no matter what he wanted to do, he would first have to pass through these experts.

And with so many Grotto-Heaven realm experts, even Nomological realm experts couldn’t kill them instantly.

With them watching, the Dong family would be able to react no matter what Zhou Shu wanted to do.

Only at this moment did Zhou Shu feel that the Dong family was like a large family that controlled a region.

Zhou Shu already had some understanding of the layout of the Dong family’s headquarters when he entered Dong Jian’s dream.

Therefore, when he saw the scene in the Dong family’s headquarters, he wasn’t curious at all. He followed Sixth Brother Dong and the others to a hall. When they entered, Zhou Shu saw the first elder of the Dong family sitting at the head seat.

He could no longer sense the aura of the connate divine weapon from him.

It seemed that the first elder had either given away the connate divine weapon or placed it in the treasure vault.

“You must be the Dong family’s first elder.” Zhou Shu cupped his hands.

“You know me?” The first elder was puzzled.

“I’ve heard a lot about you,” Zhou Shu said. “Decades ago, Mad Lion Dong Tailai’s name shook the world. Everyone knows about you. You have always been my idol.”

Zhou Shut s words made the first elder of the Dong family, Dong Tailai, look smug.

Dong Tailai looked at Zhou Shu and narrowed his eyes. “Who are you?”

“It doesn’t matter who I am,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “First Elder, you have sharp eyes. You should be able to tell that I’m not the assassin who tried to assassinate the head of the Dong family.

“I’m here to remind you, First Elder, that a hidden enemy has sneaked into your Dong family’s treasure vault. He’s eyeing your treasure vault.”

“Huh?” Dong Tailai’s expression changed.

The expressions of the other Grotto-Heaven realm experts changed drastically.

“That’s impossible!” Dong Tailai said grimly. “Our Dong family has already strengthened our defense. With you here, is there anyone else who can transform?”

Zhou Shu smiled and asked, “First Elder, didn’t your Dong family recruit a group of apprentices just now?”

Dong Tailai’s face darkened. “Are you here for them?”

Dong Tailai’s eyes flashed, and a murderous aura spread from his body.

Zhou Shu’s heart skipped a beat. Just the mention of the apprentices made Dong Tailai want to kill him. One had to know that when Zhou Shu first entered, Dong Tailai didn’t have any killing intent.

It seemed that what they wanted to do with these apprentices wasn’t simple.

“I’m here to help the Dong family.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Previously, I had a misunderstanding with your family’s Dong Jian. I played a small joke with him…’

“The lives of dozens of knights of the Dong family are not a joke,” the first elder said coldly.

“I’ve never killed anyone from the Dong family.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I can swear on the Great Dao that if I’ve ever killed a member of the Dong family, I will suffer the backlash of the Great Dao and die.”

Zhou Shu was confident. He didn’t personally kill.

What a joke. His strength hadn’t recovered. Even if he wanted to kill someone, he didn’t have the strength.

Previously, the Dong family knights had all died at the hands of Cao Yue and the village chief of Boundary Bridge Village, Dong He. What did it have to do with Zhou Shu?

When Dong Tailai heard what Zhou Shu said, his expression softened slightly. “Whether our Dong family recruits apprentices or not is our own business. It has nothing to do with you.”

“Of course it has nothing to do with me.” Zhou Shu smiled. “What if I say that one of those apprentices has ulterior motives?” “Haha…” Dong Tailai suddenly laughed.

The other experts of the Dong family also laughed.

They didn’t seem worried that there would be people with ulterior motives among the apprentices.

Zhou Shut s eyes flashed as he seemed to understand something.

“There’s one more thing. Didn’t you obtain a connate divine weapon previously?” Zhou Shu continued. “Someone deliberately let you obtain that connate divine weapon, First Elder. The goal is to use the connate divine weapon to determine the location of your Dong family’s treasure vault..”
