1281 Underwater Undercurrents, Coming To His Door (1)
Zhou Shu felt a little helpless. He had already become a passerby disciple, so why did he still have to do anything?
In all honesty, he really had no intention of coveting the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom’s dharma treasures.
It was mainly because it was really useless for him to want these dharma treasures.
Even if he obtained them, apart from smelting them into forging materials and reforging them, there was no other use.
On the other hand, if the people of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom wanted to use these dharma treasures to deal with the human race, Zhou Shu could target their weaknesses.
Zhou Shu was speechless. On the surface, he respectfully went to the dharma treasure warehouse, took out a hundred Dharma treasures, and handed them to the commander of the Golden Dragon Guards, Zhan Jingtao.
“Commander Zhan, are you going to capture Mu Zhixing personally?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.
Zhan Jingtao didn’t take Wu Suchen’s insignificant disciple seriously, but he didn’t want to offend anyone.
After all, who knew what tricks these refiners could play behind the scenes?
Zhan Jingtao smiled. “Of course. After taking your things, the Golden Dragon Guards naturally have to settle this matter.”
Zhan Jingtao didn’t feel much pressure capturing a mere Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom person.
Instead, obtaining a hundred dharma treasures was a pleasant surprise to Zhan Jingtao.
In the past, if he wanted to obtain a dharma treasure from Wu Suchen, he would have to rack his brains and even ask the Black Emperor.
It’s finally time for you, Wu Suchen, to beg me, right? This feeling isn’t bad. Zhan Jingtao was sincerely happy.
Zhou Shu continued, “Um, Commander Zhan, I have a presumptuous request…”
“Tell me.” Zhan Jingtao was in a good mood. He waved his hand.
Zhou Shu said sincerely, “Look, the Mu Zhixing took our refining materials. Master is furious now. As the saying goes, if the master has a problem, a disciple should take care of it.
“When you go to capture Mu Zhixing, can I go with you, Commander?”
“You?” Zhan Jingtao sized up Zhou Shu and frowned. “It’s not that I’m looking down on you, but Mu Zhixing isn’t an ordinary person. The fact that he was able to steal materials from your warehouse and escape from the siege of the Golden Dragon Guards is enough to show his strength.
“You’re a refiner. Fighting is not your forte. If you really encounter him, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to withstand three moves from him.”
“I’m not going to fight him. I just want to see him caught with my own eyes! That damn Mu Zhixing actually dared to steal our refining materials. He wants to force us to our deaths.
“When you catch him, I want to kick him hard to vent my anger.”
Zhou Shu was behaving like a child in Zhou Jingtao’s eyes.
He smiled and shook his head. “I’m afraid not. Grandmaster Wu said that everything within a fifty-thousand-kilometer radius is locked down. No one is allowed to leave.”
Zhou Shu asked back, “Huh? Hasn’t Mu Zhixing already escaped?”
“That’s hard to say,” Zhan Jingtao said. “No one knows if Mu Zhixing came alone or if he has an accomplice. I think it’s very likely that he has an accomplice. It’s impossible for him to sneak in here silently alone.
“We don’t even know if his accomplice has left. What if the accomplice didn’t? Therefore, we still have to guard this place tightly. Although we don’t have any materials anymore, don’t we still have a lot of dharma treasures? Dharma treasures are much more precious than refining materials.”
Zhou Shu disagreed. Who said that dharma treasures had to be precious?
Poorly refined dharma treasures were not as precious as the materials used to refine them.
Of course, it was useless to say this to an amateur like Zhan Jingtao.
“Commander Zhan, are you suspecting me?” Zhou Shu said angrily.
“Everyone on the island is a suspect,” Zhan Jingtao said bluntly. As the commander of the Golden Dragon Guards, he was already giving him enough face by saying so much to a junior disciple. Naturally, there was no need to hide anything.
With Zhan Jingtao’s status, not to mention suspecting a mere disciple, even if he suspected Wu Suchen, who could say anything?
“Alright, but my master can prove it. When it happened, I was in seclusion refining with my master,” Zhou Shu said.
After killing Xu Yongda, he naturally didn’t leave directly.
Instead, he became one of Wu Suchen’s disciples.
He even specially chose an inconspicuous disciple beside Wu Suchen, and this disciple even had an alibi.
Zhan Jingtao shook his head. “That won’t do either. The Golden Dragon Guards do things the way we do. We won’t bring an outsider along.
“If anything happens to you and your master comes looking for trouble with me, won’t I be in trouble?”
Zhou Shu said without giving up, “You don’t have to be responsible, Commander Zhan. I’ll take responsibility for my own matters.”
“No.” Zhan Jingtao was a firm person. As the commander of the Golden Dragon Guards, how could he not be firm?
“Commander Zhan, I can help you repair your dharma treasures!” Zhou Shu took out his trump card. “Your Golden Dragon Guards often fight, so your dharma treasures will definitely be damaged. If you send them to the island to repair them, it might take a long time.
“But I can follow you and help you repair your dharma treasures on the spot.
“I have the ability!”
