Chapter 604 Immortal
Old Master Zhou's voice was not loud, but there was an insurmountable majesty in his tone.
Zhou Lihao immediately knelt before the hall and said with a trembling voice, "Dad, I just want to state my opinion. Everything in the Zhou family is decided by you."
Old Master Zhou slammed the teacup in his hand, letting out a muffled groan, "Oh? I thought you didn't have me, this old man, in your eyes!"
"If it weren't for me hearing that the Four Great War Gods had collected enough evidence, I would have been kept in the dark by you father and son."
Old Master Zhou was actually aware of the matter of the Qian Shen team using the potion. After all, he was the one who had someone make that potion.
However, before Zhou Yuanwei left, he had repeatedly instructed the other party to conduct the players' use of the potion in secret.
And now, not only had evidence been seized by others, but they had also provoked four War Gods, bringing more than just trouble to the Zhou family.
Fortunately, Zhao Jiamo's death was enough for the Zhou family to attribute all the criminal evidence to Zhao Jiamo.
The only trouble now was that the Four Great War Gods seemed to have already known that Zhao Jiamo's death was related to the Zhou family.
"Has Zhao Jiamo offended anyone in the past?" Old Master Zhou immediately grasped the crux of the matter.
Not only should the team's affairs not be linked to the Zhou family, but Zhao Jiamo's death should not be either.
Zhou Lihao's mind was racing. Zhao Jiamo had entered the Zhou family through his connections.
But as for whether this person had offended anyone in his daily life, Zhou Lihao had never cared.
After a few seconds, a name suddenly appeared in Zhou Lihao's mind.
"Cheng Mo! Cheng Mo is Zhao Jiamo's master. In his early years, he had offended many people with his actions, and it is rumored that he had also secretly used a furnace cauldron."
As soon as Zhou Lihao finished speaking, someone beside him chuckled.
Zhou Lihao immediately turned his head to look, and seeing that it was his fifth brother, he said coldly, "Fifth brother, what's so funny?"
Although he received no reply, the other party laughed even more heartily.
In fact, others also wanted to laugh. Although Zhou Lihao did not explain it clearly, his provision of a furnace cauldron for Cheng Mo was no big secret!
If Cheng Mo became a guest elder of the Zhou family because Zhou Lihao provided a furnace cauldron, then no one would have said much.
But as far as they knew, Zhou Lihao had provided furnace cauldrons many times, yet the silent Cheng Mo had no intention of joining the Zhou family and only sent his disciple over.
Seeing this, Old Master Zhou was not surprised. He merely tapped the table lightly and said, "Let's talk about business."
"Lihao, are you suggesting that Cheng Mo should take the blame for this matter?"
"But he's missing now, isn't he?"
Zhou Lihao immediately got up from the ground and went to the Old Master's ear, whispering a few words.
Old Master Zhou frowned and looked at his fourth son suspiciously, "Are you sure you can handle it?"
Although this was a question, his tone carried another meaning.
Zhou Lihao was not foolish. He knew this was his last chance. If he couldn't handle this matter, he would surely be marginalized by the Zhou family.
Only after Zhou Lihao gave a definitive answer did Old Master Zhou wave his hand and say, "Go."
However, as Zhou Lihao left, Old Master Zhou arranged for others to follow him, for fear of any unexpected events.
Chen Yang was unaware of the Zhou family's actions. He had already come out of his bedroom. Although there had been progress in his research on meridians, Chen Yang knew that such things could not be rushed. Today was the team's last game, and he had to go and watch it.
Chen Yang had also roughly gauged the strength of the Zhou family.
There were many martial artists who had mastered the Lesser and Greater Heavenly Circuits.
Zhou Lihao alone could bring twenty to thirty Greater Heavenly Circuit martial artists when he went out.
When the entire Zhou family was taken into account, it was probably no different from an ordinary sect.
As for the peak Grandmaster martial artists, although they had not seen any this time, from his conversations with the several War Gods, Chen Yang understood that there were probably many peak Grandmasters within the Zhou family.
"Chen Yang, what are you thinking about?" Meng Qingxue's voice pulled Chen Yang out of his thoughts.
"Are you worried about the Zhou family?"
Meng Qingxue had come to find Chen Yang specifically for this matter.
After all, anyone would be somewhat worried after offending the foremost family.
"Don't worry, the Zhou family is also too preoccupied with their own affairs right now!"
Seeing Chen Yang's puzzled gaze, Meng Qingxue whispered, "Several important figures are targeting the Zhou family. I overheard this secretly, so you mustn't tell anyone."
Chen Yang then smiled and said, "So that's how it is, I understand."
Since Meng Qingxue was transferred to Modu, she had indeed been exposed to more and more information, even hearing about the Four Great War Gods.
"By the way, cousin, with such a big matter happening, aren't you thinking of participating?"
As soon as Chen Yang said this, Meng Qingxue immediately made a gesture of refusal, "I am well aware of my own strength."
"This kind of thing is not something I can get involved in!"
As she spoke, Meng Qingxue saw the wolf boy score a goal on the field and immediately clapped her hands, "Good goal!"
But what Meng Qingxue did not expect was that she was transferred that very night, purportedly to assist in handling a major event.
When Meng Qingxue saw the more than ten Zhou family players lying on their sickbeds, she gasped in shock.
When Chen Yang had mentioned the Zhou family players that day, Meng Qingxue was actually on the outskirts of the villa.
However, Meng Qingxue did not know what had happened inside and only heard some rumors.
Now, seeing more than ten players and the dense needle marks on their bodies, Meng Qingxue was indeed shocked.
Especially the doctors' discussions, which seemed to say that these people's lives had been snatched from the hands of death.
It wasn't that Meng Qingxue was gossipy, but the entire hospital was discussing this matter, so even if she didn't want to listen, she could still overhear some conversations.
"That divine doctor, with his white hair, didn't even bat an eye at more than ten patients! He had the demeanor of an immortal!"
"Nonsense! I saw it with my own eyes. What immortal demeanor? He was just a balding man!"
Bei Xuan, who was collecting information on the Zhou family, sneezed violently. Just as he thought things were about to conclude smoothly, he suddenly received a phone call.
Hearing the hurried voice on the other end of the phone, Bei Xuan immediately got up and said through gritted teeth, "Say that again!"
"Cheng Mo, one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, has escaped!"
As soon as Bei Xuan hung up the phone, a commotion came from outside the door.
A few seconds later, the door to Bei Xuan's office was knocked upon, and the person who entered said, "My lord, six martial artists have arrived, claiming to have had a prior appointment. Should I bring them in?"
