Chapter 1458 - 1458: Skills to Live Off, Capturing Assassins (1)

He rubbed his eyes subconsciously, then looked forward again.

Then his mouth slowly opened.

“Lord… Lord…” Peng Jiuyuan stammered.

“Oh, you have too little iron here,” Zhou Shu said. “I can only forge so many hunting sabers. There are a total of sixty-eight hunting sabers and forty hunting forks. I forged them according to the original.”

Peng Jiuyuan’s mouth went dry. I was only gone for less than ten minutes to talk to the village chief…

And you forged sixty-eight hunting sabers and forty hunting forks?

Although I know you’re not an ordinary person, isn’t this too exaggerated?

It exceeded Peng Jiuyuan’s understanding.

After a long while, Peng Jiuyuan came back to his senses, his eyes flickering. “Lord, are you a legendary forger?”

When he was training outside in the past, he had heard that there were forgers in the world who specialized in forging divine weapons for powerful martial artists.

Back then, when he encountered setbacks in the Martial Dao, he had also thought of becoming a forger.

But his strength was limited, and he couldn’t come into contact with true forgers. In the end, he only learned some blacksmithing skills. He had never come into contact with true forging techniques.

“I’m a forger.” Zhou Shu nodded. “That’s why, Peng Jiuyuan, I’m actually not very interested in fighting and killing. What I like to do the most is to forge.

You don’t have to be so wary of me.” Peng Jiuyuan:

Are we talking about this now?

Alright, I’m indeed worried that your true goal is to destroy the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom. That will definitely cause countless casualties.

“Are these weapons enough for the villagers of Boundary Bridge Village? If not, go get some iron. I’ll help you make more weapons.” Zhou Shu continued. “Actually, if not for the fact that I’m afraid of getting into trouble, I can help you forge a true divine weapon…”

“A true divine weapon?” Peng Jiuyuan’s heart skipped a beat. After hesitating for a long time, he shook his head and said, “There’s no need. Apart from me, no one else in Boundary Bridge Village is a martial artist. Even if there is a real divine weapon, they won’t be able to use it. Instead, it might cause trouble.” Peng Jiuyuan had traveled the world back then. Although he wasn’t qualified to have a divine weapon, he had seen some. He knew that without enough strength, even if someone had a divine weapon, they wouldn’t be able to keep it.

“Suit yourself.” Zhou Shu shrugged.

He didn’t have any feelings for the villagers of Boundary Bridge Village. If not for the fact that Peng Jiuyuan and Cao Yue had saved him, he wouldn’t have wanted to help Boundary Bridge Village.

“In that case, we can set off,” Zhou Shu said.

“I’m afraid we can’t, Lord.” Peng Jiuyuan shook his head with a solemn expression.

He recovered from his shock and temporarily stopped thinking about forgers.

“We can’t leave yet.”

“Huh?” Zhou Shu frowned.

Peng Jiuyuan hurriedly said. “It’s not that I’m going back on my word, but the village chief just came over and said that the head of the Dong family was assassinated and is seriously injured. Now, the Dong family is conducting a large-scale search for the assassin. They’ve already sealed off all the nearby villages, and they’re forbidding anyone from leaving without permission.

“Each of the Zhu Rong’s Nine Surnames has their own territory. The area where our Boundary Bridge Village is located is managed by the Dong family. The Dong family is the largest force within a radius of five thousand kilometers and is also a supreme existence.”

In the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom, everyone was from the Nine Surnames of Zhu Rong. But the same surnames were also divided into ranks.

For example, in Boundary Bridge Village, most people had the surname Dong. But even though their surname was Dong, they were considered distant relatives who branched off countless times and were true commoners.

The core of the Dong family was equivalent to an imperial family. They were the true special figures.

The Dong family that Peng Jiuyuan was talking about was the core lineage of the Zhu Rong’s Nine Surnames’ Dong family.

“The head of the Dong family was assassinated?” Zhou Shu frowned. He didn’t care about the head of the Dong family, but this would affect his plans.

All the villages had been sealed off to conduct a large-scale search for assassins. They would naturally come to Boundary Bridge Village soon.

At that time, his identity would probably be exposed.

Zhou Shu could hide his identity from the villagers of Boundary Bridge Village by pretending to be Cao Yue’s distant uncle, but he definitely couldn’t hide it from the real Dong family.

“Yes, the village chief came to me just now to confirm your true identity, Lord,” Peng Jiuyuan said worriedly.

Although he knew that Zhou Shu might be very powerful, Zhou Shu was injured after all. He might not be able to defeat the big shots of the Dong family.

“Oh? Is the village chief suspecting me?” Zhou Shu looked at Peng Jiuyuan.

Peng Jiuyuan nodded. “Lord, you suddenly appeared in Boundary Bridge Village and were seriously injured. It’s reasonable for the village chief to think this way.”

Not to mention the village chief, even Peng Jiuyuan suspected that Zhou Shu was the assassin who had assassinated the head of the Dong family.

After all, Zhou Shu’s appearance was too coincidental. Moreover, he was injured. It was like being injured by an expert of the Dong family when he was assassinating the head of the Dong family…

The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly, and a mocking expression appeared on his face.

“Uncle Peng, I can tell you that I’m not the assassin,” Zhou Shu said. “He’s just the head of the Dong family. If I want to kill him, he won’t live..”
