The atmosphere in the hall was awkward for a long time, and finally Tiger Lord couldn't stand it anymore and said again:
"Well, since Demon Zhou didn't die in the Sea God Abyss, I'm afraid he got a lot of secret treasures in there."
"Tell me, how should we deal with him? Should we take action now, or..."
When the other Heavenly Lords heard this, their expressions turned serious. After all, Tiger Lord’s personal hobby was not as important as the treasure.
"I don't think it's appropriate to take action now. This is Wu Island. Judging from Wu Zhentian's attitude just now, I'm afraid that Old Wu is very optimistic about Demon Zhou."
"If we take action here, I'm afraid we will anger Elder Wu, and that would be more trouble than it's worth."
Yang Zun said quickly that if they were just a little afraid of Demon Zhou, then they were terrified of Emperor Wu.
As the last emperor of the Eastern Region, if Old Wu got angry, they would surely die.
"Neither this nor that will work. How about we just lure the black dog out first?"
A Heavenly Master frowned and said that although he coveted Zhou Qiong's secret treasures, what he wanted most was Dabai.
After all, there is probably only one divine beast in the entire Eastern Region that can ignore the existence of formations. It can be said that: Scorpion Baba is one-of-a-kind.
"Okay, then let's find a way to lure that black dog out first." Hu Zun nodded.
Then people in the hall began to discuss how to lure out Dabai. Some said to use food, some said to use a secret treasure.
Some even say that they use the "American dog trick"!
…
Inside a palace on Wu Island.
Si Yin and Xue Ji were sitting inside and playing around. Since they had just had a beauty sleep, they activated the soundproofing formation.
So the two of them had no idea about the series of conflicts that had just taken place on Wu Island.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There was a quick knock on the door, and then a fat dolphin maid ran in quickly, saying loudly:
"Miss, Miss, something bad has happened."
When Si Yin heard the noise, she immediately stopped playing with Xue Ji, looked at the panicked maid, and asked, "Hailing, don't make a fuss. What big deal can happen on this Wu Island?"
call!
Hailing took a breath and quickly recounted what had just happened outside, using both words and gestures.
"You mean, the Demon Cult has come and killed Wu Situ?" Xue Ji, who was standing aside, asked Hai Ling.
"Yeah, it's brutal."
Hailing nodded and looked at her young lady with a worried look on her face. She was afraid that her young lady would be sad. After all, Wu Situ was her young lady's cousin.
Hailing: “Σ⊙?⊙”
Si Yin was not sad at all. Instead, a smile appeared on her face, as if she had heard something happy.
"Could it be that the news of Master Situ's death has frightened my young lady? That can't be possible. My young lady and Master Situ had a very ordinary relationship." Hai Ling quickly dismissed this idea in her mind.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Hai Ling looked at Si Yin who had already started to smile foolishly and asked worriedly.
Siyin: (?ω?);
"It's okay. Situ died. He deserved it. He was lucky to die at the hands of my man." Si Yin muttered softly, then waved her hand to signal Hai Ling that she could go down.
"What man?" Hai Ling was full of questions, but she did not dare to disobey the order and slowly left the hall.
"Your cousin died, aren't you sad at all?" Xue Ji looked at Si Yin in surprise and asked.
"Why are you so upset? He's just a distant relative of my grandfather. Besides, I'm afraid he died because of you, right?"
"I think you are destined to be a widow. Anyone who falls in love with you will be killed by the cult." Si Yin looked at Xue Ji with a teasing look and said with a smile.
"You are still blaming me. Are you thinking about how to confess your feelings now?" Xue Ji immediately retorted.
Hee...hee...hee, the continuous laughter echoed throughout the hall.
…
In a courtyard in the middle of Wu Island!
An old man was sitting in a rocking chair, and a burly man was standing behind him.
"What do you think of the evil cult leader Zhou Qiong?" An old voice echoed in the courtyard.
"My Lord Father, this man is very domineering and lawless. He doesn't even take me seriously."
"But he should have a trump card, because I sense a hint of danger from him."
The burly man thought for a moment and answered that he was Wu Zhentian who had just resolved the conflict outside Wu Island.
Feeling threatened?
The old man lying on the rocking chair opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed across his eyes. He was aware of his son's strength, which was ranked among the top ten in the entire Eastern Region.
"Could it be that the Demon Lord gave him a secret treasure to protect himself?" the old man thought to himself, quickly thinking of this possibility.
"Father, why do you care so much about that devil Zhou?" Wu Zhentian asked the old man. His series of actions outside the island just now were instructed by the old man.
Otherwise, with his strength at the ninth level of the Heavenly Venerate Realm, how could he be so friendly to the demon Zhou.
"Not long ago, the old witch told me that Zhou Qiong might be the hope for the future of the Eastern Region." The old man looked at the sky, as if recalling something.
Hope for the East?
Wu Zhentian frowned, he knew that the only person his father could call an old witch was the high priest of the witch clan.
This witch clan high priest is so famous for his divination that he is the best in the Eastern Region. Even his father, who is an emperor, feels inferior to him.
Such a character!
He actually said that Zhou Qiong might be the hope of the East Region. Wasn't he kidding? He admitted that Zhou Qiong had extraordinary talent and decent strength. He thought that maybe he could be like him in ten thousand years.
Can……
The Eastern Region can no longer wait ten thousand years!
According to the current speed at which the laws are flowing, in a thousand years, there may not be any living being in the entire Eastern Region who can break through to the level of Heavenly Venerate.
While Wu Zhentian was still thinking, the old man's voice came to his ears again.
"What did the Demon Lord say?"
"Father, the Demon Lord directly threw our invitation out and said that he would never do anything like a coward." Wu Zhentian said angrily. He was the one who delivered the Demon Lord's invitation personally.
As a result, before he could open his mouth to say anything, he was blown away from the Demon State by the Demon Lord's roar. If it weren't for his hard shell, he would have been in great trouble.
"Alas, I am only trying to fight for a glimmer of hope for the warriors of the Eastern Region. How can I be considered a coward?" The old man sighed, his tone full of loneliness.
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Zhentian left, and only the old man was left in the courtyard, lying on the rocking chair. The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and a faint sound could be heard.
"Old devil, it's not that I want to do this, but I have no choice. I can't hold on any longer."
