Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong gulped and asked at the same time, âFirst Elder, that connate divine weapon?â
âOf course Iâve brought it back, â the first elder said. âAfter this matter is settled, choose a suitable owner for this connate divine weapon among you.â
After the first elder finished speaking, he placed his hands behind his back and walked into the Dong familyâs headquarters.
Dong Jian and Dong Qinglong looked at each other and saw the temptation in each otherâs eyes.
Connate divine weapon! It was a connate divine weapon!
The two of them were not the only Dong family elders without connate divine
weapons. The first elder said to choose a suitable person, so how should they
choose?
Dong Jian was furious. If he had captured the assassin back then, there was no doubt that this connate divine weapon would definitely be his.
But now, he had yet to make any contributions, so it was hard to say if he could obtain the connate divine weapon.
âBrother Jian, this connate divine weapon must be mine,â Dong Qinglong said in a low voice.
Dong Jian snorted. âIn your dreams!â
The two of them looked at each other and snorted. Then they turned their heads away, unwilling to look at each other.
The two of them had forgotten that they hadnât verified the identity of the first elder.
At an open-air tea stall on a street corner not far away, Zhou Shu was holding a bowl of tea with a hint of helplessness on his face. Iâve really overestimated the Dong family. The intelligence of the Dong family is really⦠Itâs hard to describe in one wordâ¦
Theyâve clearly increased their vigilance, but Mu Zhixing succeededjust like
The old man just now was the first elder of the Dong family?
The first elder of the Dong family is only at this level?
He brought a problematic connate divine weapon home?
Isnât this equivalent to bringing a bomb to his home?
Is he tired of living?
Zhou Shu was deep in thought as he guessed Mu Zhixingâs goal.
Although he only saw it from afar, as a forger, Zhou Shu could still tell that there was something wrong with the connate divine weapon that the first elder had obtained.
Needless to say, this was definitely Mu Zhixingâs method.
Mu Zhixing was mysterious. It wasnât surprising that he had some strange abilities.
Mu Zhixing wants to use this connate divine weapon to fix a location? Zhou Shut s eyes flickered. If he were Mu Zhixing, what would he want to do?
Mu Zhixing sent the connate divine weapon into the Dong familyâs headquarters. He can sense the location of the connate divine weapon from afar. Is that necessary?
Zhou Shu pondered.
His Celestial Thearch Sword had also fallen into the Dong familyâs hands.
He could now sense the location of the Celestial Thearch Sword. He had already done what Mu Zhixing wanted to do.
So, what did Mu Zhixing want to do?
Zhou Shu tried his best to guess Mu Zhixingâs motive.
The first elder of the Dong family brought the connate divine weapon back to the Dong family. He would either keep it with him or place it in the Dong familyâs treasury vault.
Could it be that Mu Zhixing has designs on the Dong familys treasure vault? The Dong family is so stingy. Even elders at the Grotto-Heaven realm donât have a connate divine weapon. What good things can there be in their treasure vault?
Unless the Dong family has something that might not be expensive but is useful to Mu Zhixing!
Zhou Shu felt that it was already close to the truth.
Zhou Shu had some understanding of Mu Zhixing. Although he usually looked carefree, ordinary things couldnât catch his eye.
Even if he wanted to rob a familyâs treasure vault, he wouldnât target a family like the Dong family.
Speaking of which, with Zhou Shuâs understanding of the Dong family, he wasnât very interested in their treasure vault.
The Dong family was too poorâ¦
It was impossible for Mu Zhixing to spend so much effort to scheme for the treasure vault of such a poor family.
But then again, although the Dong family was poor, they were still one of the nine families of the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom and had a long history.
It wasnât surprising that the family had some foundation.
What a coincidence, Zhou Shu thought. Mu Zhixing is here for something from the Dong family, and Iâm here to retrieve my Celestial Thearch Sword.
Letâs see ifMu Zhixing has any means to take out the items after confirming the location of the Dong familyâs treasure vault.
Zhou Shut s gaze shifted as he tried to find Mu Zhixingâs incarnation. He looked around but didnât find him.
In the following days, Zhou Shu would come to this tea stall every day to drink tea and observe the movements of the Dong familyâs headquarters.
To his surprise, there was no movement in the Dong familyâs headquarters for the past few days.
Am I wrong? Zhou Shu was a little puzzled. Or has Mu Zhixing already achieved his goal without anyone knowing?
That shouldnât be the case.
Can the Dong family really be so stupid? No one noticed that something is missing in their treasure vault?
Zhou Shu didnât think that if the Dong family had lost something, it would be so calm. They would definitely search wantonly. This was their headquarters, so they wouldnât have any scruples.
This could only mean that Mu Zhixing was more patient than he thought. He was still waiting for an opportunity.
Suddenly, Zhou Shu saw a group of dozens of people coming from the streets to the entrance of the headquarters.
Apprentices of the Dong familyâs workshop? Zhou Shu immediately saw Cao
Yue in the crowd. At the same time, he sensed the aura of the Freedom Transformation Technique. So thatâs why! It turns out that Mu Zhixingplans to join the Dong family among the apprentices recruited by the Dong familyâs workshop.
But when the Dong familyâs workshop recruited apprentices, they carefully investigated the identity of the apprentices. I carefully forged Cao Yueâs current identity.
Does Mu Zhixing know a divine ability similar to Myriad Transformations? Otherwise, why does he think that he can fool the Dong family?
Is it possible that the Dong familyâs workshop has another motive for recruiting apprentices?
Zhou Shu frowned. Cao Yue had found out about the Dong familyâs workshop in the market, so Zhou Shu hadnât thought too much about it.
Now that he thought about it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
This area of 5,000 kilometers was controlled by the Dong family, and there were countless people with the Dong surname. If the Dong familyâs workshop needed apprentices, would they need to recruit outsiders?
Why were newly recruited apprentices for a forging workshop brought to the Dong familyâs headquarters?
