1153 Framing Zhou Shu, Zhou Shu’s Strength (1)
Shang Qiuzi’s words made the Grotto-Heaven Masters fall into deep thought.
As the saying goes, it was better for others to die. The Grotto-Heaven Masters were incomparably noble. How could anyone’s life compare to theirs?
Just as Shang Qiuzi said, even if their speculation was wrong, at worst, one person would die in vain.
If their speculation was right, they would be able to eliminate their greatest worry completely.
How many people had died in vain in this world? So what if Zhou Shu died?
It was fine as long as they didn’t die. This was the most important.
After a long silence, a Grotto-Heaven Master said, “Shang Qiuzi, this is all just your speculation. There’s no evidence. I won’t participate in this matter.”
As soon as he said this, the gazes of the other Grotto-Heaven Masters landed on him.
The Grotto-Heaven Master immediately felt the hair on his back stand on end, and his entire body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
He hurriedly said, “Although I won’t participate, you don’t have to worry. I definitely won’t tell anyone about this.”
“It’s useless even if you tell anyone.” Shang Qiuzi bared his teeth. “More than seventy percent of the Grotto-Heaven Masters in this world are here today. The other Grotto-Heaven Masters I haven’t contacted are not meddlesome people. Even if they know, they won’t help Zhou Shu.
“As long as we reach an agreement, he’s dead meat! Even if Wang Xuanyi dares to help him again, we’ll kill him too!”
Shang Qiuzi’s face was full of killing intent as his clothes fluttered in the wind.
The other Grotto-Heaven Masters snorted coldly.
That’s right. More than 70% of the Grotto-Heaven Masters in the world, excluding the twelve Demon Emperors of the Demon Realm, were gathered here.
It was unprecedented for so many Grotto-Heaven Masters to gather together to scheme against one person. With such a great formation, no matter who they were dealing with, they would die.
Even if the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, Diao Daocun, came back to life, facing such a force, he could only die. There was definitely no second possibility!
“I definitely won’t disclose anything. I just don’t want to participate in this matter, but I definitely don’t want to stop it. After all, if everyone succeeds, it will be beneficial to me, right?” The Grotto-Heaven Master who wanted to leave smiled awkwardly. “Everyone, I’ll take my leave first.”
He turned into a stream of light and fled.
Shang Qiuzi and the others snorted and cursed in their hearts. Coward!
A Grotto-Heaven Master said, “Shang Qiuzi, Zhou Shu’s strength is extraordinary. If he’s the owner of the mysterious gigantic hand, it’s fine. But if he and the mysterious gigantic hands are accomplices, then they’re not just one person. Although we have an absolute advantage in strength, we have to go all out to deal with the enemy no matter what. Do you have a foolproof plan?”
Zhou Shu’s strength was obvious to all the Grotto-Heaven Masters.
He had killed the master of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven one-on-one.
This meant that in a one-on-one battle, none of the Grotto-Heaven Masters present dared to say that they could defeat Zhou Shu.
It wasn’t so easy to kill such an expert. If anything went wrong, he might even drag one or two people along to die with him.
None of these Grotto-Heaven Masters wanted to become that unlucky fellow.
“Now that we have the initiative, that conceited Zhou Shu definitely won’t expect that we already know his true identity,” Shang Qiuzi said confidently. He seemed to be certain that Zhou Shu was the mysterious gigantic hand that had destroyed the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.
“The enemy is in the open, and we’re in the dark. We can plan calmly.
“There’s no need for us to care about martial virtue when dealing with enemies. As long as we can eliminate this huge problem, it doesn’t matter if we use some orthodox methods.
“I sent people to investigate Zhou Shu. He has two women in the mortal world.”
Shang Qiuzi continued, “Also, he used the excuse of taking revenge for his men and killed Brother Tang. Although he is hypocritical, since this person is pretending, in order to maintain his image, he won’t just ignore his men.
“This is our chance.”
“Shang Qiuzi, are you saying that we’ll use his women and his men as bait to design a trap to deal with him?” a Grotto-Heaven Master asked.
“Ruthlessness is the mark of a truly great man. This is feasible!” a Grotto-Heaven Master agreed.
Suddenly, another Grotto-Heaven Master shook his head. “It won’t work.”
“Why won’t it work?” The other Grotto-Heaven Masters frowned at the person who spoke.
Shang Qiuzi frowned. “Brother Hua, don’t tell me you’re also bound by those mortals’ benevolence and morals and think that what we’re doing is morally wrong?”
Previously, one of the Grotto-Heaven Masters had already left. If another one left, although the remaining people could still deal with Zhou Shu, there would be more risk.
“Of course not.” The Grotto-Heaven Master surnamed Hua shook his head. “At our level, we already have the ability to split the world apart. How can so-called benevolence and morality restrain us?
“I said it won’t work because I just received a piece of news before I came here.”
“What news?” Shang Qiuzi and the others were puzzled.
“The higher-ups of Great Wei and the people of the Huaxia Pavilion secretly left Great Wei not long ago. Their whereabouts are unknown,” said the Grotto-Heaven master surnamed Hua.
“If we can’t find them, how can we use them to set up a trap? That’s why I said this method won’t work.”
