No one expected Zhou Cangdao’s words, but they were still prepared!
Yin Feng, Hua Manlou, and the other two hurriedly regulated their auras. Although Zhou Cangdao was a sixth-grade supernatural expert and was not someone they could resist, they still had a chance of survival if they fought to the death!
As for Xu Ling and the others, their expressions changed slightly, but they did not say anything.
“Old Master Zhou, what’s the meaning of this? You invited us here to participate in the auction, but now you want us to give you an explanation. I think you should have some guesses as to what’s going on. We have no reason to attack Boss Zhou!”
Yin Feng hurriedly said. He was really worried that Zhou Cangdao would attack!
“Hmph, is that so? Commander Zhou, tell me, why did the Green Cloud Division send you here? If you don’t tell me, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Zhou Cangdao stood up and his powerful cultivation seeped out of his body. Although he was only a sixth-grade supernatural expert, his cultivation suppressed everyone present!
Xu Ling and the others were immediately suppressed by this aura until their faces turned pale. After all, they were only grandmasters and were naturally unable to resist.
Zhou Hao was able to resist. As a quasi Heaven Realm expert, he only needed a thought to kill Zhou Cangdao. However, he still pretended to be affected.
“Senior Zhou, you’re mistaken. We didn’t kill Boss Zhou. There’s no reason for us to do so. Secondly, if we really wanted to kill Boss Zhou, there’s no need for us to go through so much hassle. After all, we could have just gotten any quasi Heaven Realm expert from the Green Cloud Division to deal with you, right?”
Zhou Hao did not panic at all because he knew from the beginning that Zhou Cangdao did not plan to make things difficult for them at all. Just like Senior Qian, he was only testing them!
Judging from Zhou Beishan and the woman’s unchanged expressions, their Zhou Family had long decided that they were not responsible for Boss Zhou’s death. Otherwise, they would have also invited them to the auction!
Zhou Cangdao narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at Zhou Hao. Only then did he retract his aura and sit down.
“Servants, bring our guests some tea and seats.”
With that said, someone brought a chair and steeped tea.
“Commander Zhou, do you have anything to say about my son’s death?” Zhou Cangdao said indifferently.
Zhou Hao smiled. “Senior Zhou, I really have nothing to say about this. I can only say that we weren’t responsible. As for who did it, I really don’t know. Although I wanted to convict Boss Zhou, there’s still a limit to my strength. I am simply not strong enough to kill him.”
Zhou Cangdao naturally knew this logic, so he said, “I understand what you mean. To be honest, I also don’t believe that you guys were the ones who did it. It’s not that you guys don’t have the strength, but it’s simply not reasonable. After all, if the Green Cloud Division wanted to touch us, they would have done so long ago. There’s a reason why they didn’t. Others might not know what this reason is, but I know.”
Hearing this, Zhou Hao’s expression changed and he frowned. He really wanted to ask what the reason was!
This reason must be very shocking, and there might even be a huge secret. Otherwise, the Green Cloud Division would definitely not let this Red Cliff Abyss stay here and ignore it!
“Don’t you want to know what the reason is?” Zhou Cangdao looked at Zhou Hao and saw that he did not ask.
Zhou Hao sighed. “Senior Zhou, to be honest, I really want to know, but I know that the more I know, the more dangerous it is for me. I don’t want to get involved in the current situation in the Red Cliff Abyss.”
After Zhou Hao finished speaking, Zhou Cangdao sneered.
“Commander Zhou, do you think you are not involved with this matter? Because of what you said that day, you were also indirectly responsible for my son’s death. You can’t deny that, right?” Zhou Hao naturally could not deny Zhou Cang’s words!
“I don’t deny what Senior Zhou said. The Green Cloud Division asked me to overhaul this place, so I naturally have to put on a show. However, Senior Zhou, please be considerate. I really didn’t expect this matter to turn out like this. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn’t have said what I said.”
Zhou Cangdao frowned slightly when he heard this, but he did not say anything and asked.
“Commander Zhou, you’re smart. The reason why I called you over today is to ask you to help me find the murderer.”
“Find the murderer? Senior Zhou, this is really a little difficult. I just arrived here and am unfamiliar with this place. I also don’t know about the problem with your Red Cliff Abyss. How can I help you find the murderer?” Zhou Hao felt very helpless. Could this old man be crazy to ask him to help him find the murderer?!
“Commander Zhou, you’re too humble. Your intelligence far exceeds most people. Moreover, your analysis was helpful. I heard from Beishan that if not for your analysis, we might have mistaken the enemy as a friend.”
Zhou Cangdao also found his analysis convincing. After all, Zhou Hao’s logic was sound.
It was simply impossible for others to figure out Zhou Hao’s scheme.
“Thank you for your praise, Senior Zhou, but I really can’t do it.” Zhou Hao waved his hand.
“Commander Zhou, let me finish first. There is something you’re not supposed to know. However, after I finish speaking, you might be able to guess.”
“Actually, this matter is related to a secret. At least, that’s what I think. It’s related to the huge secret of the Red Cliff Abyss.”
Zhou Cang’s words immediately piqued Zhou Hao’s curiosity!
What kind of secret was this?
“Actually, it’s not that the Green Cloud Division doesn’t want to take this place back. It’s just that they can’t and don’t have the ability. Both mutated beasts and humans have wanted to claim this place for themselves, but they can’t.”
Zhou Cangdao’s words shocked Zhou Hao on the spot!
Zhou Hao did not understand how this was possible. Putting humans aside first, how could it be possible for the mutated beasts to lack the ability to take back this land?
This was a little ridiculous!
“I know you don’t believe it. Actually, I don’t believe it either, but this is the secret of the Red Cliff Abyss. This secret is related to the Red Cliff King. Similarly, it’s also related to a secret that can overturn the world!”
Zhou Cangdao’s words were becoming more and more mysterious. After Zhou Hao heard this, he was really tempted.
Even Xu Ling and the others were the same. It was really unbelievable that such a huge secret that could overturn the world existed!
“You should know that there’s a Red Cliff King here who controls the order here. Actually, what I want to say is that this matter arose because of the Red Cliff King. In fact, this matter has still not ended!”
Zhou Cangdao sighed, and Zhou Hao and the others listened intently.
What was the background of this Red Cliff King? He was actually related to this big secret!
And what was this big secret?!
“Senior Zhou, don’t keep us waiting. Tell us quickly,” Zhou Hao hurriedly urged.
Zhou Cangdao took a deep breath and said slowly.
“Actually, this secret itself is the Red Cliff King. And this Red Cliff King is not a human or a member of the foreign race.. Instead… he’s an… alien from outer space, an alien!”
