When Zhou Wangan mentioned Sengoku's Third Prince, the atmosphere in the hall was no longer heavy. Everyone was discussing and thinking about it carefully, they all felt that Eldest Young Master Zhou Wangan's words made sense.
Indeed.
With Sengoku's Third Prince backing him, even if the real King returned, what could he do?
He, Gu Tianlang, was able to overthrow Sengoku in ancient times. In modern times, even ten or a hundred Gu Tianlang's would not be a match for Sengoku.
Thinking up to this point, these people who were originally in a state of panic were somewhat relieved.
At this moment, two people suddenly appeared in the hall.
One of them was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat reserved, and the other was a hunchbacked old man.
Seeing these two people, everyone in the hall was shocked because the middle-aged man was none other than the black-hearted Old Master Zhou Taihe, and the hunchbacked old man was an expert with unfathomable cultivation. People called him Elder Heng.
No one expected Zhou Taihe to suddenly appear. Everyone was slightly stunned, but they did not dare to be negligent and immediately saluted. Zhou Wansheng even shouted emotionally, "Father! You must seek justice for Ting 'er! "
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Taihe suddenly raised his hand and slapped Zhou Wansheng's face. His slap was extremely vicious, and Zhou Wansheng fell to the ground on the spot. Zhou Wansheng covered his swollen cheek and stared at his father in disbelief. He could not understand why his father came up and slapped him without saying a word.
"I warned you not to look for that person! Why didn't you listen to me! "
"Father, it's Ting 'er himself …"
This time, before Zhou Wansheng could finish his words, Zhou Taihe raised his hand and slapped him again. He scolded, "What kind of father are you? Why didn't you discipline Ting 'er well!"
"I …"
Zhou Wansheng didn't dare to say anything else for fear of being beaten again.
Inside the hall, whether it was the Zhou Clan, the ancient experts, or even Chi Xiao, they all looked at each other in dismay, not daring to breathe too loudly. They all knew Zhou Taihe's temper, and they were even more aware of his methods. In their hearts, they were all somewhat afraid of Zhou Taihe.
Zhou Taihe's face was gloomy and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He swept his gaze across everyone and shouted, "I'll say it again, this matter ends here. No one is allowed to look for that person in the future!"
Everyone present looked at each other and stared at each other. They wanted to say something, but they didn't know what to say.
Previously, when Tan Tong and more than ten Chi Xiao people were beaten half to death, Master Blackheart had said the same thing.
Now that Shi Lingkai and Zhou Ting had been beaten half to death, why was the black-hearted master still saying this?
Why?
Could it be that Master Blackheart was afraid that that person was the real King?
Otherwise, why would he tell everyone not to pursue this matter when his most beloved grandson was beaten half to death? Even his little life had been taken away.
"Father, why? What exactly are you … "
Zhou Wanqian finally couldn't help but ask the reason, but just as he opened his mouth, he met Zhou Taihe's sharp eyes and didn't dare to continue.
"The matter of the temple fair is extremely important to us, and we can't afford any mistakes. Everything will proceed according to plan. As for that person who calls himself Gu Tianlang, Sengoku will deal with him."
"But …"
"No buts!"
Zhou Wanqian didn't dare to speak again after being rebutted.
"Go back and prepare."
Since Zhou Taihe had said so, the others didn't dare to say anything more and left one after another. The Zhou family, the ancient experts, and the Chi Xiao people all left.
After everyone had left, only Huang Yuan remained standing in the hall. He looked at Zhou Taihe and sighed. "Zhou Taihe, have you thought it through?"
Zhou Taihe stood in the hall with his back to him. He closed his eyes and said nothing.
"If you turn back now, it's still not too late. As long as you are sincere in your repentance, the Sovereign King will not make things too difficult for you on account of our past relationship. If the Sovereign King really wants your life, this old man will stand out and take it on your behalf."
"Elder Huang! You're worrying too much. That person can't be him! "
"What if it really is the King?"
"There's no 'what if'. I said that person can't be him. Even if he really is Gu Tianlang, I, Zhou Taihe, am not afraid!"
Huang Yuan shook his head and sighed. "You're not afraid? Taihe, oh Taihe, you can hide it from others, but you can't hide it from I. Although you keep saying that you're not afraid, how can you not be afraid in your heart? "
"If you're not afraid, why have you been hiding in the dark all these years?"
"If you're not afraid, why have you been desperately cultivating this avatar all these years?"
"If you're not afraid, why didn't you even dare to mention this matter after learning that Tan Tong and the others' Crimson Dragon Elephant had been whipped?"
"It's not that you're not afraid, it's that you're too afraid. You're so afraid that you don't even have the guts to verify whether that person is the real King!"
"You're too afraid. Afraid that person is the real King."
Zhou Taihe still stood with his hands clasped behind his back and his eyes closed. Although there was no expression on his face, his heart was already trembling.
The truth was just as Huang Yuan had said.
It wasn't that he wasn't afraid, it was that he was too afraid!
This fear had never stopped. Every time he heard news of the King's return, his heart couldn't calm down.
Because of this fear.
Therefore, he had been hiding in the dark all these years, not daring to show his face.
Because of this fear, he had been cultivating this avatar all this time.
Because of this fear, he didn't dare to verify its authenticity.
He was afraid!
He was afraid that it was the real King!
He knew better than anyone else that if the real King returned, everything he had been working on all these years would be over, including his life.
He took a deep breath and tried to calm his flustered heart.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
At this moment, his heart couldn't calm down at all. After a long time, he said, "Whether that person is the real Gu Tianlang or not, I don't know, and I don't want to know. But one thing is certain, whether he is the real Gu Tianlang or not, Sengoku won't let him go."
"Ha, ha, Sengoku …"
Huang Yuan couldn't help but laugh as he shook his head, "This old man admits that the immortal dynasty of the current era isn't comparable to the immortal dynasty of the ancient era. I also know that the third prince of the immortal dynasty you are following is an extraordinary character bestowed by the heavens. However, this old man also knows that if the Emperor wants to kill you, even the Heavenly Emperor wouldn't be able to save you."
"The power of Sengoku is not something you can imagine. What kind of person the Third Prince is, is also far beyond your imagination."
Huang Yuan still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Zhou Taihe's stern voice, shouting, "Enough! I know what you want to say, but I don't want to hear it now. "
"In that case, you're on your own now."
Huang Yuan didn't say anything more. He sighed and turned to leave.
