Soon, a piece of news caused a huge commotion in the human world.
The Silver Serpent King ordered the King of Shang Zhou to compensate for the great loss of Silver Serpent City and hand over the murderer, Grandmaster Zhou Bin.
Otherwise, it would send out millions of troops to slaughter the Zhou Clan's cities, killing the chicken to scare the monkey and serve as a warning to others.
The ultimatum this time shocked countless humans.
Not long after the incident with the Black Scorpion King, the Silver Serpent King actually made a move again. Moreover, he was in a standoff with the King Zhou Clan. They were like fire and water, unable to coexist with each other.
"What's going on? Why is the Silver Serpent King so angry that he wants to fight with the Zhou family? "
"I heard that the Zhou family stirred up a beehive this time. Grandmaster Zhou Bin sneaked into Silver Serpent City and robbed their treasure vault."
"Holy crap. He's too fierce. He dared to sneak into Silver Serpent City alone and succeeded. He even stole the treasure vault. Is he trying to defy the heavens?"
"It's a pity that Grandmaster Zhou Bin lost his Zhou family token by accident. The Silver Serpent King found out about his identity and is furious. He wants to settle the score with the Zhou family."
"The entire treasure vault was robbed. No wonder he's so angry. If it were me, I would be furious too."
"The Zhou family is unlucky this time. They offended the Silver Serpent King. This Demon King is one of the more powerful kings. The Black Scorpion King can't be compared to it."
"I wonder how the Zhou family will deal with this. If they really compensate the Silver Serpent King and even kowtow to apologize, the Zhou family will become the laughing stock of the human world."
Many humans were discussing this matter because it was simply too shocking.
Not to mention that someone dared to sneak into the Demon City, he even went into the Silver Serpent King's palace and took away the entire treasure vault. He even escaped easily. This was extremely shocking.
Even a king might not be able to do this.
This news also immediately became the headlines of the entire Internet. Whether it was on major communication software, major forums, or major Tieba, it had become a hot topic of discussion and was ranked first in the search rankings.
Countless people were concerned about this.
…
As for the Zhou family, they were all in a state of confusion.
In a meeting hall, countless core elders of the Zhou Clan were rushing back from various places. Even the ancestor of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Tiangang, who was also known as the King of Shang Zhou, was present.
Every single one of them had a grave expression on their faces, because this was not an ordinary matter. If it was handled carelessly, the entire Zhou Clan would face annihilation.
"Damn it, what's going on?"
The King of Shang Zhou, Zhou Tiangang, bellowed, "Why would Zhou Bin do such a thing? He actually foolishly went to the Silver Flood Dragon City and stole the Silver Flood Dragon King's treasury. He even carelessly left his token behind. Even if he wants to die, he better not implicate our Zhou Clan! "
He was incomparably furious. Originally, he was still in closed-door cultivation, but he was alarmed by this matter. In the end, he had no choice but to come out of closed-door cultivation to deal with this matter.
"Zhou Bin, where are you right now? I'd like to see what's going on in his head. "Zhou Tiangang's face was gloomy as he glanced at the elders of the Zhou Family.
"Patriarch."
An elder of the Zhou Family stood up and said, "We've tried to contact Zhou Bin with our communicators, but so far, we haven't received any news from him. It's as if he has vanished from the face of the earth."
"We've even contacted some of the elites he brought with him from the Zhou Clan, but we haven't received any news from them. We can't find them no matter how hard we try."
"Therefore, we suspect that they've been assassinated."
He clenched his fists with a murderous look.
Hearing this, Zhou Tiangang's pupils shrank, "You mean, someone killed Zhou Bin and the others, obtained their tokens, then sneaked into the Silver Flood Dragon City and deliberately left this clue behind to frame our Zhou Clan?"
He immediately understood the meaning of the elder's words.
"That's right. That's the most likely explanation."
The elder of the Zhou Clan said in a deep voice, "I know Zhou Bin's ability. Although he's an expert at the peak of the Grand Master Realm, it's impossible for him to sneak into the Silver Flood Dragon City without anyone noticing."
"He even stole the Silver Flood Dragon King's treasury and left unscathed. No matter how I think about it, he doesn't have the ability to do so. This must be done by someone else."
"But in order to divert the trouble to someone else, he framed our Zhou Clan."
He spoke his mind.
The others also nodded, agreeing with this idea.
"Who is it? Not only did he kill the Grand Master of our Zhou Clan, but he also wanted to frame us. Who would do such a thing? If I catch him, I'll kill him immediately. His entire clan will be exterminated! "
Zhou Tiangang clenched his teeth. He felt extremely annoyed and his murderous intent was boiling.
"I'm not sure. Our Zhou Clan has many enemies. They all have this kind of motive to kill." The elder of the Zhou Clan said in a deep voice, "Plus, we can't deny that this might be a self-directed play by the Silver Flood Dragon King."
"It might have deliberately killed Zhou Bin and the others, but in order to shirk responsibility, it claimed that its treasury had been robbed. In fact, that didn't happen at all. Everything was fabricated, and it even accused the guilty party first."
Many elders of the Zhou Clan agreed. This was not impossible. The Silver Flood Dragon King killed the Grand Master of the Zhou Clan. He was afraid that it would cause a war between the human clan and the monster clan, and he would be blamed by the Thousand Monster Mountain.
Therefore, the Silver Flood Dragon King played along. He lied that his treasury was stolen by humans and pushed all the blame onto the Zhou Clan. He even took the opportunity to extort compensation. This was a trick that killed many birds with one stone.
After all, it was the Silver Flood Dragon City, the territory of the Silver Flood Dragon King. Plus, it was an underwater city!
To enter the Silver Flood Dragon City without anyone noticing, steal everything from the Silver Flood Dragon King's treasury, and even escape calmly was not something a normal Grand Master could do.
Even Kings might not be able to do it.
No matter how they looked at it, they felt that there were many suspicious points in this incident. Some things were hard to justify and could not be explained.
"Anyways, go and investigate!"
Zhou Tiangang shouted, "First, find out how Zhou Bin and the others died. Who killed them? Who killed them? Who is the murderer? You must investigate thoroughly for me. "
"At the same time, confirm for me whether or not this is a self-directed play by the Silver Flood Dragon King. Is he trying to blackmail our Zhou Clan?!"
"If the Silver Flood Dragon King thinks that I, Zhou Tiangang, will be so scared that my legs will turn to jelly, and I will tell him that he thinks too much. The Zhou Clan will not be humiliated!"
His face was ferocious, and his voice was like thunder.
"Yes, Clan Leader!"
A group of elders of the Zhou Clan shouted. Their faces were serious. None of them would relax, because this was a matter of life and death for the Zhou Clan. If they were not careful, their Zhou Clan would be wiped out. This was definitely not a small matter.
"Of course, don't start a war if you can avoid it." Zhou Tiangang said in a low voice, "War is a last resort. It is best to negotiate with the Silver Flood Dragon King and solve this peacefully."
