In an unknown grotto-heaven, there were seven or eight Grotto-Heaven Masters and countless unknown Grotto-Heaven realm experts.
There were a total of 36 famous grotto-heavens in the world, but it didn't mean that there were only 36 grotto-heavens.
For Grotto-Heaven realm experts, when their cultivation reached a certain realm, they could open a grotto-heaven. But only when they reached the Grotto-Heaven Master realm could their grotto-heaven have a complete ecology.
This was why Grotto-Heaven Masters were so much stronger than ordinary Grotto-Heaven realm experts.
No matter what, there were always some hidden experts whose true strength was unknown to outsiders.
Now, this unknown grotto-heaven was the grotto-heaven of a mysterious Grotto-Heaven Master.
To Grotto-Heaven Masters, grotto-heavens were undoubtedly the most secret place.
These people were gathered here, and their gazes all landed on a figure covered in a black robe.
"Why did you gather us here? What do you want?" a Grotto-Heaven Master asked in a deep voice.
The black-robed man chuckled. "You're already here. Don't you know?
"Everyone's goal is the same. Zhou Shu's existence has already threatened the balance of the world. If he doesn't die, neither you nor we will be able to sleep in peace."
The black-robed man said coldly, "The only plan now is to send him away."
"Send him away?" a Grotto-Heaven Master asked. "Don't you know Zhou Shu's strength? If you could deal with him, you wouldn't have come to us.
"We do want to deal with him, but we won't take any chances."
The Grotto-Heaven Master sneered. "In the current situation, Zhou Shu won't easily do anything to us. There's no need for us to take the initiative to provoke him."
"Haha..." The black-robed man laughed. "Naive! I didn't expect dignified Grotto-Heaven Masters to be so naive. Do you really think Zhou Shu won't deal with you?
"As the saying goes, how can one tolerate others snoring at their bedside? Zhou Shu's strength is unparalleled. Do you think that if you don't join him, he will let you continue to exist?
"You underestimate Zhou Shu too much."
The black-robed man said grimly, "His ambition is definitely greater than you think. He will absolutely not allow anyone in this world to disobey his orders!"
"All of this is just your side of the story." A Grotto-Heaven Master sneered. "Tang Lan and Shang Qiuzi offended him, which is why they got themselves killed.
"We have no enmity with him. There's no reason for him to deal with us. We Grotto-Heaven Masters aren't so easy to deal with either!"
All the Grotto-Heaven Masters were prideful.
They dreaded Zhou Shu, but they were not necessarily afraid of him.n0veLusb.c0m
Grotto-Heaven Masters were Grotto-Heaven Masters after all. Tang Lan and Shang Qiuzi had been defeated so quickly because they had underestimated their enemy.
They already understood Zhou Shu's strength. Facing him again, they would definitely not underestimate him.
Although they might not be his match, he might not be able to gain much of an advantage if they fought to the death.
Not to mention, so many of them had already established an offensive and defensive alliance.
Although Zhou Shu occupied half of the world, the other half was still in their hands.
If they fought to the death, although they might suffer serious injuries, Zhou Shu would definitely not have a good time.
"I can only say that you've been at ease for too long." The black-robed man shook his head.
"You've been Grotto-Heaven Masters for too long. You think that you're high and mighty, but the reality is that Grotto-Heaven Masters are not that stable.
"Tang Lan and Shang Qiuzi can die, and so can you.
"You don't know Zhou Shu well enough. Over the years, countless experts have died at his hands. Back then, when he was only a first-rank martial artist, he could already dominate the Demon Realm. Even a group of Demon Kings couldn't do anything to him.
"If you underestimate him, you will definitely pay a price you can't afford."
"We're not underestimating him." The Grotto-Heaven Masters snorted.
"Cut the crap. We didn't come here to hear you say how powerful Zhou Shu is," a Grotto-Heaven Master said coldly. "If you have a way to deal with him, tell us about it. If not, goodbye.
"We don't care who you are. What you do is your business. It has nothing to do with us."
These Grotto-Heaven Masters knew each other very well.
"Since I called you here, I naturally have a way," the black-robed man said confidently. "Although Zhou Shu is powerful, he's not without weaknesses.
"As long as you target his weakness, taking his life will be as easy as flipping your hand."
"Really?" The eyes of the Grotto-Heaven Masters lit up.
To these Grotto-Heaven Masters, Zhou Shu was like someone who had jumped out of a crack in a rock.
He had suddenly appeared and killed Tang Lan domineeringly. Moreover, he was unstoppable. Even Shang Qiuzi had failed to ambush him with seven Grotto-Heaven Masters.
No one could even figure out how such an expert had become so powerful.
Information about Zhou Shu almost went back a hundred years. But at the time, he wasn't very powerful in their opinion.
They had been trying to find his weaknesses, but he had only fought a few times. Every time he fought, he would kill his opponent with a lightning strike. There weren't many chances of him revealing weaknesses.
