745 Zhou Shu’s Counterattack (2)

Zhou Shu narrowed his eyes slightly. He seemed to understand Tang San, Tang Qi, and the others’ schemes.

Any excuse would serve a tyrant!

“In my opinion, the heaven and earth treasures were used by the Demon Realm to bribe you, right? For those things, you betrayed the human race and helped Demon King Hu Li break through to the Demon King realm. You even cooperated with them to help demonic beasts invade the human continent,” Tang San said coldly. “Unfortunately, your actions can’t be hidden from our eyes!

“Zhou Shu, what else do you have to say now?”

Zhou Shu’s expression was calm. His gaze swept across Tang San, Tang Qi, and the others. “Since you’ve already determined that I colluded with the Demon Realm, is there any point in saying anything?”

“The only thing you can do now is to plead guilty and confess your crimes!” Tang Qi shouted coldly. “You have to hand over the stolen goods you obtained from the Demon Realm!”

Zhou Shu was expressionless. He couldn’t be bothered to speak anymore.

After the transaction with the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven failed, they used this method to frame him. Wasn’t their ultimate goal for the Divine Stone?

“Zhou Shu, it’s useless to resist. We already have conclusive evidence,” Tang San said coldly. “There are witnesses and evidence. Your accomplices’ in the Demon Realm have already confessed. The only thing you can do now is to confess obediently…”

“Confess? Confess to you?” Zhou Shu said coldly. “What right do you have to make me confess?”

“Our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven has protected the human race for thousands of years. We are qualified to kill anyone who betrays the human race and endangers the safety of the human race,” Tang San said coldly.

“Zhou Shu, I see that you are a talent, which is why I’m telling you so much. If you explain clearly, you might still have a chance of survival. I’ll plead for you and get the higher-ups to allow you to redeem yourself. In the future, you can stay in our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven and make use of your forging skills. Otherwise…”

“Then, I have to thank you?” Zhou Shu sneered. “I’ll hand over all my heaven and earth treasures to you and then work like a cow to forge for your Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. What a good idea.”

“Impudent!” Tang Qi shouted. “Our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven is giving you a chance!”

“You should give this great opportunity to someone else. I don’t need it.” Zhou Shu laughed coldly.

“Do you want to die?” Tang San stared at Zhou Shu coldly.

“Of course not.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I’m afraid you can’t decide my life and death yet.”

“Is that so?” Tang San said. “Our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven protects the human race. We will definitely not show mercy to traitors.

“If you think we’ll let you off just because you have some ability, you’re wrong. Your accomplices are all under our control. If anyone resists, we’ll kill them without mercy!”

“How dare you!” Zhou Shu’s eyes flashed coldly.

“Haha, why wouldn’t we dare to kill traitors of the human race?” Tang San laughed loudly.

Ding Dang!

Tang San casually threw something on the table in front of him.

Zhou Shu’s pupils suddenly contracted as he stared at the item on the table.

It was a longevity lock.

“What did you do to Xiaoyu’er?” Zhou Shu’s expression was extremely terrifying, and his eyes were brimming with killing intent.

Yin Wuyou had made the longevity lock for Xiaoyu’er. Xiaoyu’er had always worn it around her neck and treasured it so much that Zhou Shu couldn’t even touch it.

“Hmph, she tried to escape and was killed on the spot,” a man said coldly. “So what if she’s at the Grotto-Heaven realm? Our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven’s Grotto-Heaven experts are much stronger than her.”

“Did you do it?” Before he could finish, a murderous voice sounded

Zhou Shu stared fixedly at him, the killing intent in his eyes incomparably rich. The chains on his body clanked as if they were about to break.

But the expressions of Tang San, Tang Qi, and the others didn’t change at all. Instead, they were full of mockery.

“Don’t waste your energy. You won’t be able to break free,” Tang San said coldly. “Even Grotto-Heaven experts can’t break free from these chains easily, let alone you.

“We’ve already given you a chance. I’ll ask you one last time. Are you convinced or not?”

“I thought that although you grotto-heavens are mysterious, you are still humans. But I didn’t expect you to be so shameless for your own benefit.” Zhou Shu’s expression was incredibly cold. “You can even act so dignified when you’re murdering for treasures.”

“Our methods will be even more ruthless to traitors of the human race!” Tang San said coldly. “It looks like you really don’t know what’s good for you.

“Tang Shiyi, we’ll leave him to you. I don’t want him to have any secrets that we don’t know.”

A man with a cold aura stood up. A smile appeared on his face, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t worry. I promise to make him confess everything, even the number of times he wet his bed when he was young.”

He grabbed the chains binding Zhou Shu and pulled him to the side.

Zhou Shu’s eyes were full of killing intent as he swept his gaze across Tang San, Tang Qi, and the others, memorizing them.

Tang Shiyi dragged Zhou Shu to a dark, windowless room. The room had all kinds of torture tools, and these torture tools were covered in dark brown blood.

The entire room was gloomy and cold.

Tang Shiyi tied Zhou Shu to a wooden stake with chains and said coldly, “If you want to suffer less, you’d better confess as soon as possible.

“Don’t even think about surviving my interrogation. I’ve interrogated martial artists with higher cultivation than you, but they still revealed everything.”

“Don’t you just want the Divine Stone?” The anger on Zhou Shu’s face had already disappeared. Anyone familiar with him would definitely know what kind of anger was hidden under this calmness.

“I’m very curious. Is this Divine Stone really that important that your Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven is so shameless?”

Zhou Shu said calmly, “If you can answer my question, I can give you the Divine Stone.”

“You’re wrong.” Tang Shiyi shook his head and sneered. “Our Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven is protecting the human race. Taking back the Divine Stone from you is just a matter of convenience.

“If the Divine Stone falls into the hands of demonic beasts, it will only bring disaster to the human race. Naturally, it can’t stay with you, a traitor.

“Alright, you can tell me now. Where are you hiding the Divine Stone?”

Tang Shiyi rubbed his fists and smiled coldly as he picked up his torture tools.

“Protect the human race? You’re really lying to yourselves,” Zhou Shu said coldly. “Alright, I’ll tell you where the Divine Stone is. Come closer.”

“Oh? You’re telling me so quickly?” Tang Shiyi said in disappointment. “I thought you would be a tough nut to crack.”

Then he took two steps toward Zhou Shu.

“Closer. Be careful that the walls have ears,” Zhou Shu said. “I hid the Divine Stone in a very secret place. Not only is there the Divine Stone there, but there are also many other good things. I can’t let others know.

“You don’t want the treasures to fall into the hands of others, do you?”

Tang Shiyi nodded. “You know your place. It’s a pity I won’t have the chance to use my skills this time.

“But you’re thinking too much. No matter how loudly the sounds are in the torture chamber, no one outside can hear—”

“In that case, I’m relieved.” Zhou Shu’s tone suddenly changed. His hands, which he had pulled out of the chains at some point, slammed them into Tang Shiyi’s chest at lightning speed. With a tsunami-like force, he smashed Tang Shiyi to the ground.
