Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Not only did the head family of the Dong family live inside, but there were also many branches of the family, including outsiders.
After all, the core members of the Dong family had to eat and drink. They also needed people to serve them.
The Dong Family Fort was the largest and most prosperous city in the territory controlled by the Dong Family!
Of course, outsiders couldn’t easily enter the place where the core members of the Dong family lived.
Zhou Shu and Cao Yue could only enter the outer city of the Dong Family Fort.
Previously, in the Dong family’s stronghold, Zhou Shu had plundered a lot of silver. During this period of time, they had spent the Dong family’s silver on food and lodging. It was the same now…
Zhou Shu booked a private courtyard at the best inn in the Dong Family Fort. In any case, he was spending the money he had obtained from the Dong family.
His heart didn’t ache at all.
After spending the money, he would just go to the Dong family to get more.
Zhou Shu called Cao Yue over and instructed, “Cao Yue, go out and find out what major events have happened in the Dong Family Fort in the past year. Be careful. Don’t be targeted.”
Since Cao Yue had decided to follow him, he was destined to face storms in the future.
Zhou Shu was deliberately training Cao Yue.
After all, when he entered Dong Jian’s dream, he didn’t obtain any information about the Celestial Thearch Sword. It would be strange if Cao Yue could find out anything about the Celestial Thearch Sword when he went to inquire.
Cao Yue didn’t know a lot of things. He only knew that he would do what Zhou
Shu instructed him to do with his heart. “Yes, Uncle. I’ll go now.”
Zhou Shu didn’t use Myriad Transformations on him. The Dong family had never seen Cao Yue’s original appearance.
Moreover, Unparalleled Benevolence had long lost its effect on Cao Yue. The current him was an ordinary youth without any cultivation.
No one would look at him when he walked on the streets.
After Cao Yue left, Zhou Shu also left the inn and slowly walked to the street.
After these few months of recuperation, although his injuries didn’t improve, fortunately, they didn’t worsen.
Now, he could at least move around freely like an ordinary person.
Zhou Shu walked on the streets and seemed to be strolling. In fact, if anyone noticed the route he took, they would definitely discover that he was walking in a straight line.
Sensing the aura of the Celestial Thearch Sword, he walked step by step to a magnificent castle. It’s really in the Dong family?
At this point, he no longer had any hope.
The Celestial Thearch Sword had indeed fallen into the hands of the Dong family.
If he wanted to take back the Celestial Thearch Sword, it seemed that he had to make a trip to the Dong family’s headquarters.
When Zhou Shu entered Dong Jian’s dream, he had some understanding of the situation in the Dong Family Fort.
In the Dong Family Fort, there were no less than a hundred Grotto-Heaven realm experts stationed here, and there were an unknown number of grand elders.
The grand elders were all at the Nomological realm.
Although Zhou Shu sometimes looked down on the Dong family, in fact, the Dong family was not weak at all.
They were even stronger than the humans before they defeated the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
With just the divine ability Unparalleled Benevolence and Cao Yue, entering the Dong family’s headquarters to retrieve the Celestial Thearch Sword was no different from a fool’s dream.
Even with Unparalleled Benevolence, it was already the limit for Cao Yue to defeat a few Earth Immortals. Any Grotto-Heaven realm expert could consign him to eternal d.a.m.nation, let alone the Dong family, who had Nomological realm experts.
Zhou Shu could use Myriad Transformations to sneak into the Dong family’s headquarters, but he was seriously injured and couldn’t hide this. Even if he looked the same as someone, he would be easily exposed.
As for Cao Yue…
Letting Cao Yue sneak into the Dong family’s headquarters alone was no different from sending a little sheep into a pack of hungry wolves.
Just as Zhou Shu was pondering, he suddenly saw two people appear at the entrance of the Dong family’s headquarters.
The two of them stood on both sides of the door like two gate G.o.ds.
Seeing the two of them, Zhou Shu was somewhat speechless.
These two people were Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong!
It seemed that the two of them had proven their ident.i.ty. In addition, they had interacted with him before, so they had been sent to guard the door.
The fact that someone could transform into one of them at will really frightened the Dong family.
This way, it would be even more difficult for Zhou Shu to sneak in.
Zhou Shu smiled bitterly. He felt like he had shot himself in the foot.
But even if it happened again, he would still do it.
Under the circ.u.mstances at the time, apart from this method, there was no better way for him to escape the Dong family’s pursuit and protect the people of Boundary Bridge Village.
Ifyou think that this is foolproof, you’re underestimating me. Zhou Shu was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and looked in a direction.
On the other side of the street, a figure flashed past sneakily.
It’s him? Why is he here? Zhou Shu frowned slightly, but he also felt a little glad.
Fortunately, before he left the inn, he had carefully used Myriad Transformations on himself. Otherwise, his whereabouts might have been exposed.
Mu Zhixing! Zhou Shu thought.
The figure that flashed and disappeared was a face Zhou Shu had never seen before.
But Zhou Shu was extremely familiar with his aura.
It was the aura of someone who had cultivated the Freedom Transformation Technique!
Apart from Zhou Shu, Mu Zhixing was the only person in the world who knew the Freedom Transformation Technique!
The figure that disappeared in a flash was most likely an incarnation of Mu Zhixing!
Mu Zhixing was extremely afraid of death. He had spent a lot of effort to obtain the Freedom Transformation Technique. His goal was to do things without needing his main body to take action. He only needed to send an incarnation.
This was what he had done when he went to the Glacial Palace. Later, if not for Zhou Shu, his main body would definitely not have appeared in the Glacial
Palace.
Now, Mu Zhixing’s incarnation had appeared outside the headquarters of the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom’s Dong family. Furthermore, it was obvious that he had ill intentions.
Could the Dong family be hiding something similar to the Glacial Palace, which attracted Mu Zhixings interest?
