A flush of embarrassment appeared on Wen Zhongming's face.

As the patriarch of the Wen family and the overlord of Tzu Cheng, he had actually been threatened in the face of a mere martial artist at the Body Refinement Realm. When had he ever been humiliated like this?

However, when he thought of what Gui Dehan had said, Wen Zhongming hesitated again.

Zhu Ziyang had actually become a cultivator!

No matter what, Wen Zhongming would never have thought that this morning, a servant would suddenly report to him that an old friend of his from many years ago had requested to see him. Furthermore, he had said that he was here as a messenger of Zhouzi.

When Wen Zhongming heard the report, he immediately had someone bring in Gui Dehan. What he never expected was that Gui Dehan did bring news of Zhu Ziquan, but to him, it was not good news.

According to what Gui Dehan said, Zhuangzi had actually become a cultivator. He even brought her cultivation companion to Ci City.

The most important thing was that she already knew the truth about the murder of her parents. This time, she was back for revenge!

As soon as Wen Zhongming heard this, his heart couldn't help but thump loudly. He knew that the situation wasn't good!

But as an expert, his bearing and cultivation level was enough to calm Wen Zhongming, so he did not reveal much panic.

He immediately sent someone to bring Gudeson to the other hall, and at the same time sent someone to ask him about the bamboo stick.

Not long after, the news arrived — yesterday, there were indeed people who saw two young men and women on a boat. Among them, a young girl had a picturesque appearance and looked elegant.

As for the young man, his eyebrows were slanted like swords and his eyes were like stars. He was handsome and extraordinary!

Both of them exuded a powerful aura. With a single glance, it made it so that it was almost impossible for anyone to breathe. It was as if they were being watched by a natural enemy …

Hearing this news, Wen Zhongming's heart sank. Without a doubt, these two young men and women were Zhu Zifu and her dao companion.

They were actually cultivators!

To Wen Zhongming, this news was like a thunderclap, like the weight of a mountain pressing down on his head. He knew that if he didn't handle this matter well, it was very likely that the Wen family, which had taken him many years of hard work to grow to this scale, would turn to ashes in the evening.

Facing such tremendous pressure, Wen Zhongming could only brace himself and invite Gui Dehan, whom he would never even look at, into the main hall to inquire about Gui Dehan's purpose in coming, as well as Zhu Ziyang's intentions.

However, what Wen Zhongming never expected was that Bamboo Fork actually wanted that treasure. As long as she obtained the treasure, she could let Wen Zhongming off. This request truly made Wen Zhongming angry and shocked.

He was shocked that, in less than two years' time, Zhu Zifu had actually grown to such an extent. Not only had she become a cultivator, she could even use this tone of voice to request of him.

But what made him even angrier was that Zhu Ziyang actually wanted that treasure!

Inside the jade box was a Mysterious Technique that only cultivators could practice. Only after obtaining this technique did Wen Zhongming have the goal he wanted to strive for. He wanted to become a cultivator at all times, and was looking forward to the day he could start practicing this technique!

The person who had left behind this cultivation technique was most likely a cultivator. Just think about it, how could a cultivation technique that even an expert cultivator could preserve with such care and care be simple?

But now, Zhu Ziyang was going to easily take away this cultivation technique. This was something that Wen Zhongming could not accept no matter how hard he tried.

Without this cultivation method, he had no goal to strive for. Even if he became a cultivator, if he were to practice an ordinary cultivation method, then what was the difference between his status in the mortal world and that of an ordinary martial artist?

However, facing such a blatant threat from Guidehan, Wen Zhongming hesitated for a moment.

Even a fool would know the choice between life and cultivation technique.

However, when he thought of handing over the cultivation technique …

At this moment, Wen Zhongming couldn't help but feel regret in his heart. If he wasn't too greedy and still wanted to find all the other treasures that the surnamed Zhu had hidden, he wouldn't have adopted Bamboo Forcing, and he wouldn't have suffered today's disaster!

"Raising the tiger is a source of trouble, nurturing the tiger is a source of trouble!"

Wen Zhongming roared in his heart. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water would drip out of it.

He regretted even more. Why hadn't he beheaded this despicable little fellow? If he had hacked this little fellow to death, would he have been humiliated like this today?

Seeing Wen Zhongming's gloomy expression, Gui Dehan's heart beat wildly. He was not worried that Wen Zhongming would go and confront Zhui Qiuzi. He believed that Wen Zhongming would not dare to do so, and even if he dared, he would absolutely not go and meet Zhuangzi.

What Gui Dehan was truly worried about was that Wen Zhongming would kill him in a fit of rage and then flee far away with his treasures and treasures.

As a result, he didn't say anything. Instead, he left Wen Zhongming with a 'path to survival' — handing over the treasure and leaving the matter to the bystanders.

In reality, a day ago, Guidehan was only thinking of getting some gold coins and paying off his gambling debts. At the same time, he was thinking that it would be enough for him to have some free time.

However, yesterday night, he had met Zhu Ziquan and Lin Cheng. The terrifying might exuded from the two of them had caused Gui Dehan to not be able to contain his shock, and at the same time, he realized that this might be an opportunity.

After casually asking around, Gui Dehan heard a lot of news regarding Zhu Ziyang. A year ago, he ran away from home and rejected the Wen Family's request to betroth her to Wen Zhongming's second son. And so on …

Combined with what he knew and what he saw, a thought suddenly appeared in Gui Dehan's mind. Once this thought was born, he could no longer restrain himself …

And thus, the scene that happened today.

"It's not impossible for me to hand over the item, but I have a request."

When Wen Zhongming suddenly opened his mouth, the dirty Gui Dehan was shocked.

He quickly asked, "Wha, what?!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he felt that his face was burning. Such a cowardly action was truly a bit shameful. He took a deep breath and tried to straighten his back.

In his eyes, Gui Dehan was nothing more than a lowly person. If it weren't for the fact that this man was surnamed Zhu, he probably wouldn't even spare him a glance. What right did he have to be the messenger of cultivators?

"I want to make a copy of that technique and leave it for myself." Wen Zhongming said.

Cultivation technique?

Gui Dehan was slightly startled, but soon after, his heart was overjoyed. He couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face, "Sure, no problem …" However, you can only copy one. As for the rest of the treasures, I'll take them all! "

"A lowly person gets what he deserves!"

He glanced at Gui Dehan with disdain and sneered, "You can rest assured that even though that jade box is not ordinary, it is not something that is that precious to me. If you have no other requests, I will go and copy it right now!"

Hearing about the jade box, Gui Dehan was startled and immediately said, "No, I have to go with you …" "Before coming here, Miss Zhu warned me to be very careful and not make any mistakes. Miss Zhu and her dao companion are still waiting for me to report back!"

Wen Zhongming stared at him with an ugly expression. It was only when he saw this that he felt weak in his heart. Finally, he nodded and said, "Alright, come with me!"

He felt sullen and angry at the same time. If he was forced to such a state by a dirty and despicable person, he would remember this for the rest of his life!

Under Wen Zhongming's lead, the two of them passed through several courtyards and entered a secret chamber. Guidehan's eyes immediately widened.

There were over a hundred jade boxes that were used to store top grade medicinal ingredients. Other than them, there were also a large number of porcelain and jade bottles. Although Gui Dehan was in a dire state, he knew that these were for storing medicinal pills.

His eyes shone, his gaze unable to shift away as he muttered, "Too extravagant, too extravagant …"

"Crack!"

Wen Zhongming looked at him contemptuously and took out a sparkling and smooth jade box from a hidden compartment. Gui Dehan's eyes were suddenly attracted and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Treasure!

He stared at the jade box in Wen Zhongming's hand, wanting to see what exactly was inside.

However, when Wen Zhongming opened the jade box, the expectant Gui Dehan was stunned. He discovered that there was only a single leather scroll inside, and nothing else.

How was this possible!

Gui Dehan's complexion immediately changed. Back then, he had heard from his brother that they had found a treasure left behind by an almighty immortal.

This was a deity expert, why did he only leave behind a leather scroll?

"Patriarch Wen, this, this is all?" "Is there nothing else?"

"What else do you think?" Wen Zhongming retorted with an unfriendly tone.

"Humph!"

Gui Dehan said, "How can a treasure only have this little bit..." Patriarch Wen, you must have been acting on your own for the past few years. For example, if a pill was swallowed by you, it would naturally be gone … No, it's just something like that, I can't explain it to young miss Zhu! "

Despicable person!

A vicious light flashed across Wen Zhongming's eyes: "Then what else do you want?!"

Gui Dehan rolled his eyes and said, "Perhaps the items in this secret chamber can barely enter the eyes of young miss Zhu. I want to take some with me. Patriarch Wen, quickly copy them. I'll go pick my own things …" "Ahhh!"

Before he could finish, he suddenly felt something tighten around his neck. Suddenly, he was grabbed by the neck by Wen Zhongming. Looking at the murderous gaze in Wen Zhongming's eyes, he was aghast and terrified.

"You, what are you trying to do? Miss Zhu knew that I came to the Wen family. If you kill me, Miss Zhu would destroy the entire Wen family …"

At the same time.

At the Wen family's mansion, outside the tall red lacquer door, a young man and woman walked over under the watchful eyes of the guards.
