“Who are you? Are you from Great Wei?” Zhu Chuanzhi exclaimed in shock.

The situation had completely reversed.

Not long ago, Zhou Shu had been the one asking who Zhu Chuanzhi was. Now, it was Zhu Chuanzhi asking Zhou Shu.

“Me?” Zhou Shu took a step forward. “Forging Division, 0th Workshop, Zhou Shu.”

Zhu Chuanzhi felt the air in front of him freeze. He couldn’t breathe properly, and he couldn’t help taking a step back.

“Impossible! You’re definitely not Zhou Shu!” Zhu Chuanzhi yelled. “Zhou Shu is a Forging Apprentice and has only been cultivating martial arts for a few days. How can he have such a cultivation level!

“Who are you! Why are you pretending to be Zhou Shu?”

Zhu Chuanzhi’s face was full of fear. His fear didn’t seem to be because of Zhou Shu’s strength but because he thought of something terrifying.

Zhou Shu was also a bit confused. Zhu Chuanzhi was a fourth-rank martial artist after all. There was no way he would be so weak as to be so frightened by him.

“Don’t you know what I want to do?” Zhou Shu faintly smiled. “The Zhu brothers, you guys are in trouble!”

As he spoke, he used the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form. His entire being seemed to become a towering mountain, bringing with it endless pressure.

He only knew that Zhu Chuanzhi was Zhu Chuanfeng’s younger brother, but he didn’t know his name. Thus, he could only say the Zhu brothers. Otherwise, calling out Zhu Chuanzhi’s name at this time might have had a better effect.

But Zhu Chuanzhi clearly didn’t care about this. When Zhou Shu said these words, his face paled, and his eyes were full of terror.

Boom!

Zhu Chuanzhi’s body suddenly erupted with a bloody light.

Zhou Shu thought that Zhu Chuanzhi was going to fight to his death. But as soon as he raised his hand, he saw Zhu Chuanzhi’s back. Zhu Chuanzhi had transformed into a ball of blood-red light and disappeared from his sight.

He disappeared so quickly that Zhou Shu couldn’t stop him in time.

There was a faint scent of blood in the air. It was obvious that Zhu Chuanzhi had used a self-harming secret technique to unleash such terrifying speed.

Is he scared silly? Zhou Shu was somewhat speechless. What a surprise.

He hadn’t even made a move, but Zhu Chuanzhi was already so frightened?

The Zhu brothers were indeed problematic!

He had only said that they were in trouble, and he was already so frightened. It seemed that this wasn’t a small matter.

This fellow ran too fast. Otherwise, I could have interrogated him. Zhou Shu sighed helplessly.

He had already broken through in his cultivation, and his Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique had already broken through to the tenth level. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to subdue Zhu Chuanzhi.

This place seems to be Zhu Chuanfeng’s other lair. Will there be any clues here?

With this thought in mind, Zhou Shu walked out of the room.

Two hours later, Zhou Shu looked at a book in front of him, filled with shock.

“What the f*ck—” Zhou Shu’s current mood was completely indescribable. Only this curse could let him vent a little.

Old Zhu is really daring!

Zhou Shu had searched through the entire mountain villa to find this book. While sighing with emotion, he was also full of admiration for Zhu Chuanfeng.

This villa was indeed Zhu Chuanfeng’s other lair.

Zhu Chuanzhi had caused a huge commotion in his escape, so more than half of the guards in the villa had run away. The rest had been knocked unconscious by Zhou Shu before they could even see him.

It was unknown whether Zhu Chuanfeng or Zhu Chuanzhi had memorized this book.

The events recorded on it were simply shocking.

“Yongguang Year 23, I killed Li Ziyuan and his family in Yongzhou and obtained the earth-grade Green Jade Saber.”

“Yongguang Year 25, I obtained the heaven-grade Cold Moon Saber from the Liu clan of Youzhou. I killed 37 people.”

…

“Yuanfeng Year 6, Mu Yuhang forged the heaven-grade Wind Bronze Saber. I snatched it before anyone saw it.”

…

There were dozens of them, causing Zhou Shu’s eyelids to twitch.

Initially, he had some doubts about what these records meant. But after seeing one of them, he thought of the information from the Forging Division and instantly figured out many things.

Cloud-Splitting Saber! Zhou Shu’s expression was grave. Zhu Chuanfeng advanced to Grand Craftsman when he forged the heaven-grade Cloud-Splitting Saber!

But according to the records here, the Cloud-Splitting Saber was forged by a Forging Master named Jiang Shan!

Among the Grand Craftsmen of the Forging Division, there doesn’t seem to be anyone called Jiang Shan. It seems like it’s as the records say. Jiang Shan has already been silenced!

Zhu Chuanfeng took the Cloud-Splitting Saber that Jiang Shan forged and used it to advance to Grand Craftsman. Jiang Shan has already been silenced by Zhu Chuanfeng, so it’s naturally impossible for him to come out and accuse him.

He relied on other people’s heaven-grade weapons to become a Forging Grandmaster. Zhu Chuanfeng hasn’t actually been exposed after so many years! Impressive!

Even though they were enemies, Zhou Shu couldn’t help praising him.

He carefully compared the book in front of him and the information on Zhu Chuanfeng from the Forging Division based on his memory. All of the heaven-grade weapons recorded in the Forging Division that were supposedly forged by Zhu Chuanfeng were not actually forged by him!

In other words, the idol of countless forgers, the record holder of the Great Xia’s youngest Grand Craftsman, Zhu Chuanfeng, isn’t a true Grand Craftsman?

He got all those heaven-grade weapons through illegal means?

Zhou Shu sucked in a breath of cold air. Even with his rich imagination, he had never thought of this possibility.

No wonder Zhu Chuanzhi reacted like that when he heard that the matter had been exposed. He had even injured himself and escaped.

If others were to find out about this, even if the Zhu brothers had a few lives, it would not be enough!

In the past few years, Zhu Chuanfeng had forged quite a few heaven-grade weapons in his name. In addition to the seven heaven-grade weapons in his secret chamber, it meant that at least ten genuine Grand Craftsmen had died at the hands of this pair of brothers!

If the family and friends of these Grand Craftsmen knew the truth, how could they let the Zhu brothers off?

“How did they do it?”

Zhou Shu couldn’t understand how the Zhu brothers had done this.

If they wanted to steal other people’s heaven-grade weapons, they would have to wait until someone else had just created them.

Otherwise, even if they managed to obtain a heaven-grade weapon, they would not be able to claim it for themselves.

However, for a Forging Master, forging weapons was usually their own matter. How would outsiders know?

Not only did the Zhu brothers manage to accomplish such a difficult task, they had even managed to accomplish it many times.

Even Zhou Shu couldn’t help admiring them.

Right now, he couldn’t even find the right opportunity to kill a Grand Craftsman. Zhu Chuanfeng and his brother had killed at least ten Grand Craftsmen without exposing themselves.

That’s not right! Zhu Chuanfeng’s brother thought that something had happened, so he probably didn’t escape alone. Most likely, he escaped back to the Zhu residence in the capital! Zhou Shu suddenly remembered.

The two of them did such a crazy thing. It’s impossible for them not to prepare a backup plan for themselves.

They are probably already preparing to escape!

I can’t let them escape!

Zhou Shu stuffed the book into his clothes. Power erupted from beneath his feet, and the green tiles beneath his feet exploded as his entire body flew out like a cannonball.

Chang’an of Great Xia was a city that never slept. Usually, the city gates would never close.

This also showed how confident Great Xia was.

Even though the city gates were wide open, who could attack?

The city gates weren’t closed, which saved Zhou Shu a lot of trouble. Otherwise, he would have had to think of a way to climb over the city walls.

As he approached the capital’s gates, Zhou Shu slowed down and slowly entered the city like everyone else.

After entering the city, he first went to his residence in the capital. After a simple disguise, he concealed himself and ran all the way to Zhu Chuanfeng’s residence.

Inside the Zhu residence, it was quiet. Other than the patrolling guards, there was no other movement. It was as if everyone had fallen asleep, and there was nothing unusual.

Zhou Shu had visited the Zhu residence several times in the past, so he knew this place like the back of his hand.

Without much effort, he found Zhu Chuanfeng’s bedroom.

Too late!

In Zhu Chuanfeng’s bedroom, he could hear someone breathing. It wasn’t Zhu Chuanfeng himself, but a woman!

Zhou Shu didn’t hesitate. He immediately changed directions and charged toward Zhu Chuanfeng’s brother’s courtyard, which was also the secret chamber where he had discovered the heaven-grade weapons!

A moment later, Zhou Shu arrived.

They moved really fast!

As Zhou Shu expected, the secret chamber was already empty. Not only were the Zhu brothers gone, but the seven heaven-grade weapons had also disappeared.

However, the weapons below heaven-grade were still in the storeroom.

There were not many heaven-grade weapons, and they could carry them with them. It was unrealistic to take away all the weapons in the warehouse.

Zhou Shu frowned slightly. When he had entered the city, he had paid special attention to his surroundings. There was nothing unusual at the city gates, including the city itself.

This meant that the Zhu brothers had left quietly.

Thinking about it, Zhou Shu found it normal. They didn’t know how many people knew about the matter, so they didn’t dare to make too much noise.

This is troublesome. If they’ve already left the city, it won’t be easy to find them. Who knows which city gates they escaped from?

Zhou Shu frowned in thought. He wasn’t good at tracking people down, and if the Zhu brothers had already left the city, he wouldn’t be able to continue chasing them. After all, he still had to take responsibility for the matters at the 0th Workshop.

Damn it. I was careless and let them escape! Zhou Shu cursed. He had been too careless. Otherwise, he would have immediately chased after Zhu Chuanzhi the moment he ran away!

The Zhu brothers aren’t ordinary people. They’ve already planned their escape route in advance. It won’t be easy to catch them again.

It seems that I can only rely on the Imperial Court’s strength. Zhu Chuanfeng has done such a crazy thing. Once this matter is made public, who knows how many people will want to kill him. When the time comes, I won’t have to worry about him anymore.

As long as Zhu Chuanfeng’s actions were made public, he would be a street rat for the rest of his life. Not only would he not be able to find trouble with Zhou Shu, but he would probably be beaten to death the moment he appeared.

Zhou Shu no longer had to worry about him causing trouble for himself. As for whether or not he could personally kill him, this wasn’t important.

I’ll send the evidence to Ma Fengzhang. Yang Hong probably can’t handle such a big matter.

Zhou Shu leaped onto the roof and jumped toward the Divine Constable Bureau.
