Legendary Armament Canon Novel - Chapter 744

744 Zhou Shu’s Counterattack (1)

“Tang Qi, what are you doing?” As the figure appeared, he berated, “Our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven is enforcing the law for the human race, not abusing it!

“What if others misunderstand our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven?”

Zhou Shu glanced at the person who walked out of the entrance of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. He had never seen this person before, but his appearance was somewhat similar to Tang Qianluo’s.

It was either Tang Qianluo’s brother or his descendant. He should also be a higher-up of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.

!!
Tang Qi snorted and didn’t say anything, but he retracted his hand.

The man who looked a little similar to Tang Qianluo turned to look at Zhou Shu, cupped his hands, and said calmly, “Brother Zhou, my seventh brother is a little irritable and has offended you along the way. Please don’t misunderstand. Our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven only invited you back to assist in the investigation.

“If you’re innocent, our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven won’t do anything to you. Please rest assured.”

Zhou Shu sneered. Good cop/bad cop?

Unfortunately, he wasn’t a greenhorn. How could he be moved to tears by a few words?

Assist in the investigation?

Is this how you get someone to assist in an investigation?

“Brother Zhou, please.” The person who looked a little similar to Tang Qianluo winked at Tang Qi and made an inviting gesture.

Tang Qi calmly put away the Ming Hong Saber, the Kun Wu Saber, the Tiger Soul Saber, and Zhou Shu’s Cosmic Bangle. Then he pushed Zhou Shu into the grotto-heaven.

After stepping through a portal, Zhou Shu felt a short dizziness. He felt like he was on a flight of stairs.

In front of him was a staircase that looked like a heavenly staircase. There were at least a few hundred steps, and they were all paved with white jade. At the end of the stairs was a tall archway, and on the archway were the words ‘Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven’.

This place looked more like the grotto-heaven in his imagination than the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven and the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.

At least it exuded an immortal aura…

The man who looked a little similar to Tang Qianluo and Tang Qi didn’t give Zhou Shu much time to appreciate his surroundings. They led Zhou Shu up the steps, through the archway, and then flew to the peak of a mountain.

They only reached their final destination after entering a hall.

Zhou Shu looked at the seven people sitting in a circle in the hall. Their expressions were extremely cold.

From the looks of it, they were really here to interrogate him.

This Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven really thinks too highly of me.

The man who looked a little similar to Tang Qianluo sat down. His status seemed to be very high, and he sat in the middle.

As for Tang Qi, he sat on the far left.

“Let me introduce myself. I am Tang San. I have been ordered to investigate your collusion with the Demon Realm. Brother Zhou, please forgive me if I offend you,” said the man who looked a little similar to Tang Qianluo.

Zhou Shu’s expression was cold as he looked at the man who called himself Tang San. He didn’t speak.

According to what Zhou Shu saw, including Tang San, Tang Qi, and Tang Shiliu, who had appeared on the battlefield previously, there were at least sixteen Grotto-Heaven experts in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.

Such strength was really shocking.

Tang San didn’t mind Zhou Shu’s reaction. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he continued, “Zhou Shu, let me ask you. Back in the Demon Realm, did you disguise yourself as Yao Qing and help Great Demon Hu Li break through to the Demon King realm?”

Zhou Shu looked at Tang San in surprise. Although not many people knew that he had pretended to be Yao Qing, there were still quite a few who knew about it. It wasn’t strange that the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven could find out about this.

The strange thing was, why were they asking this?

“I disguised myself as Yao Qing, but I don’t have the ability to help Hu Li break through to the Demon King Realm,” Zhou Shu said.

“If it’s you, then there’s no problem.” Tang San nodded. “Zhou Shu, let me ask you another question. Back in the Demon Realm, was the Ten Nations Alliance led by you stationed in the territory of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, Yao Buqi?”

Zhou Shu nodded.

“Did Yao Buqi know about this? Why didn’t he attack you?”

“He knew. I reached an agreement with him—”

Tang San interrupted Zhou Shu. “In other words, you and Yao Buqi indeed colluded.”

Zhou Shu frowned slightly and looked at Tang San. He had cooperated with Yao Buqi, but the word collusion didn’t sound good.

“Zhou Shu, Tang Qi just discovered a large number of heaven and earth treasures unique to the Demon Realm on you. Can you explain their source?” Tang San continued to ask.

“That’s the ransom paid by Great Demons of the Demon Realm,” Zhou Shu said. “I captured the candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm and threatened their clansmen to pay the ransom.”

“So, you’re saying that you once caught the candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm and then released them for these external objects?” Tang San asked.

Although this was indeed the case, something didn’t sound right.

“That’s a way to see it.” Zhou Shu didn’t refute.

Tang San’s voice turned cold. “Very well. The candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm are the elites of the younger generation of the Demon Realm. If they grow up, they will pose a great threat to us humans. You actually let such a group of demonic beasts go.

“Moreover, those Great Demons actually paid the ransom and allowed you to take it away.”

Tang San’s expression suddenly became stern. “Are they stupid? Or are you so powerful that the Great Demons and Demon Kings of the Demon Realm are helpless against you?”
