Chapter 404: Chapter 404: Stalling for Time!

Wen Shizhou’s eye twitched.

He suppressed the pain in his fist and squeezed out a smile.

"Mr. Qin, I think there might be some misunderstanding between us," he said.

"Look here..."

Wen Shizhou glanced around.

"How about we take this inside the drawing room to talk?"

Zhou Yu nodded.

"That’s fine."

He indeed wanted to see what kind of trick Wen Shizhou was up to.

After they arrived at the drawing room, Wen Shizhou instructed his disciples to serve tea.

"Come, Mr. Zhou, try this unique tea from Shenwu Hall," he invited.

Seeing Wen Shizhou’s composed demeanor, Xie Changlin couldn’t hold back anymore; he directly smashed his cup to the ground.

"Wen Shizhou, stop this pretense! You had Sun Ling curse my son, and you owe me an explanation for this," he demanded.

Wen Shizhou responded indifferently:

"Xie Changlin, that curse was not specifically meant for your son. At most, we only intended to use your son."

"Moreover, had you not broken the rules by providing Mr. Qin with a bodyguard, none of this would have occurred."

Xie Changlin cursed outright:

"Just using him? Bullshit!"

"Come on, bring out your son, and let me ’use’ him a bit."

Wen Shizhou’s face darkened.

Xie Changlin dared to insult him.

If Zhou Yu weren’t there, he would have slain Xie Changlin on the spot.

A flash of murderous intent darted across the depths of Wen Shizhou’s eyes as he then turned to look at Zhou Yu.

"Mr. Zhou, the matter concerning Mr. Qin is an internal affair of Shenwu Hall. I hope that you will abstain from interfering," he said.

"If our Hall has offended in any way, Shenwu Hall is willing to offer our utmost sincerity to resolve the misunderstanding."

"I believe, Mr. Zhou, that you would not want such a powerful enemy as our Hall either."

Zhou Yu replied indifferently:

"A powerful enemy?"

"You think too highly; I don’t consider your Shenwu Hall worth my attention."

Bang!

Wen Shizhou’s hand slammed onto the table.

"Zhou Yu, don’t be ungrateful. Shenwu Hall isn’t a place where you can behave recklessly."

"Let me tell you, the Hall Master of our Shenwu Hall is a bona fide Saint Realm powerhouse. If you were to provoke His Holiness, I assure you, your fate would be grim indeed," he warned.

Upon hearing this, Xie Changlin’s face suddenly became unnatural, even fearful.

He knew the terror of the Hall Master.

"Zhou Yu, never mind, let’s withdraw," he suggested.

Yet Zhou Yu remained calm and unruffled.

"You just mentioned that Mr. Qin’s incident was a misunderstanding? What does the Grand Elder plan to do about resolving it?" he asked.

Wen Shizhou sneered.

Zhou Yu’s demand showed he had caved.

But all of this was within his expectations.

After all, their Hall Master was a Saint Realm master, and Zhou Yu, no matter how talented, was just at the Innate level. Should he dare to cross their Hall Master, that would be suicidal.

Wen Shizhou’s face showed a proud expression.

"It’s simple. Our Shenwu Hall has always recruited experts. With your strength and potential, just swear loyalty to Shenwu Hall, and I can arrange for you to directly join the Elder Council," he offered.

"Not only will you enjoy the abundant resources of Shenwu Hall, but you will also receive a share of the profits, guaranteed to be at least a billion each year."

"If you perform well, perhaps the Hall Master himself will personally mentor you, enabling you to reach the Saint Realm within ten years."

"How about it? These terms are quite generous, aren’t they?"

Wen Shizhou believed that Zhou Yu would certainly be shocked by the offer.

Chances were, he might even kneel immediately and declare his loyalty.

Yet unexpectedly, Zhou Yu revealed a look of ridicule.

"These terms, are you kidding a beggar?"

"Ten years? If you give me ten years, your Hall Master might be kneeling on the ground calling me master, and I’d still need to think about it," Zhou Yu scoffed.

"What did you say??" Wen Shizhou’s face sank.

"Enough of this nonsense. I’m asking you one more time, why did you attack Mr. Qin?"

Smack!

Wen Shizhou abruptly stood up.

"Zhou Yu, you really don’t know how to appreciate kindness."

"Do you truly believe just because you killed Jin Dingtian and became famous in Qin province, you are invincible?"

"Fool, let me tell you, you are far from it."

Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed.

He pointed a finger, and a stream of Nether Fire True Qi transformed into a flaming meteor, shooting towards Wen Shizhou.

Wen Shizhou’s complexion changed, and he hastily punched out, blocking the strike.

The wound on his fist opened once again.

Simultaneously.

Crack!

The chair behind him also shattered into pieces.

Zhou Yu said coldly:

"My patience is limited. The next strike won’t be so mild."

Hearing this, Wen Shizhou not only was not angered, but instead, a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Fool, did you really think I was sincerely inviting you to join Shenwu Hall?"

"I was merely delaying time."

"Did you think that without the Hall Master, Shenwu Hall has no one who can control you?"

"Hasn’t Xie Changlin told you that Shenwu Hall has two Semi-Saints?"

The moment these words were spoken, Zhou Yu abruptly turned his head towards the doorway.

There, two stooped figures appeared.

Although the two were thin and withered, looking like elderly scavengers from the streets, Zhou Yu sensed an extremely terrifying aura emanating from them.

Xie Changlin’s face turned pale.

"Bad news, Mr. Zhou. I didn’t expect these two to have returned."

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow:

"Who are they?"

"They are the Guest Elders invited by the Hall Master, Elder Yu and Elder Xuan," said Xie Changlin, his voice tinged with fear.

Seeing the two, Wen Shizhou rose respectfully.

"Elder Yu, Elder Xuan, this young man named Zhou Yu has been opposing our Shenwu Hall constantly and even came here today to cause trouble. Please, Guest Elders, take action and eliminate this youngster," he pleaded.

The two old men nodded, then their aura immediately locked onto Zhou Yu.

Elder Yu spoke:

"Young man, kneel down and die!"
