I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

"Escape? How? Where to?"

"Of course we fled back to the barracks. Zhou Heng couldn't possibly kill us in the barracks, could he?"

"Oh, you're so naive! Zhou Heng has a backer in the military camp. Even if we return to the camp, we will still die in the end.

A spiritual weapon that can allow a third-rate warrior to gain the strength of a top-tier warrior, what a treasure it is.

You know, among the top-notch warriors in our Qingliang Army, except for the commander-in-chief, only the third-rank Wanhu officers in the East and West divisions are of that level.

This shows how tempting the spiritual weapon Zhou Heng possesses is to others. He would probably kill anyone who knows about this at any cost.

Otherwise, if the news of him being in possession of such a precious treasure were leaked, even if he had the support of the military, he might not be able to withstand it. If he was a smart man, he would never take such a risk.

In this world, only the dead who have been crushed to dust can keep secrets.

So, the situation is now very clear.

Between Zhou Heng and us, it's either he dies or we die. There is no possibility of peaceful coexistence. We must take advantage of the opportunity when he is seriously injured to get rid of him!

This is our only chance to save ourselves. Even if he might be feigning injury to ambush us, we must risk our lives to take this gamble. Otherwise, we will be the ones who lose in the end."

“Ah, this… this…”

After listening to Liu Shiqing's well-reasoned analysis.

Sun Yaozu was speechless and couldn't think of anything to refute.

"Old Liu, you don't have to be so pessimistic."

Just as everyone fell silent, Jiang Yan spoke again:

"I just said that according to common sense, there is a high possibility that Zhou Heng would kill us to silence us.

But I personally think that Zhou Heng didn't actually intend to kill us to silence us.

Think about it carefully, if he really wanted to kill to silence the witness, how could he have left so quickly just now?

You know, it's not just us who might leak his secrets. The mortals in the government office might also leak the secrets.

If he really wanted to silence them, he should have killed everyone present just now. Otherwise, after a whole night, do you think those mortals could keep their mouths shut?

Those mortals are not fools. We would think of silencing someone, and they can think of it too.

By now, the secret of the spiritual weapon has probably been leaked out long ago. If we wait until daybreak to silence them, the only way to be safe is to kill everyone in Pingyang City.

So, do you still think Zhou Heng wants to silence us?"

"Ah, this... What if Zhou Heng was really seriously injured after he killed that evil?

The reason why he didn't kill everyone present to silence them was probably because he was powerless.

If that's the case, we should take the initiative and kill him immediately to prevent future troubles!"

Liu Shiqing retorted without giving up, with the murderous intent in his eyes that he couldn't stop, as if only killing Zhou Heng could make him feel at ease.

"Old Liu, you're being too extreme."

Jiang Yan sighed helplessly,

"Zhou Heng possesses a spiritual weapon and has a powerful backer.

Do you think that if we kill him, his powerful backers will crush us to death?

I won’t talk about the other things. After we killed Zhou Heng, just to recover the spiritual weapon on him, his backers would not ignore his death.

Put away your murderous intent. Since Zhou Heng didn't kill us directly just now, it's far from the time for us to fall out.

Another thing is, what if he's not worried about the fact that he's carrying a treasure? After all, we only know that he has a powerful backer, but we don't know exactly how powerful that backer is.

You must not forget that above us ordinary warriors, there are those transcendent and terrifying beings. For such beings, spiritual weapons may not be so precious."

"His backers are those transcendent beings. This, this... how is it possible..."

Liu Shiqing's lips trembled, and the cold murderous intent in his eyes was instantly replaced by boundless fear, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.

At the same time, Luo Jiu and the other two people around him were all filled with horror.

The reason for this is that although these people have only joined the Qingliang Army for less than a year, they have all had the honor of witnessing the terrifying power of those transcendental beings.

About three or four months ago, dozens of veteran monsters that could rival first-rate warriors suddenly came together to attack the military camp.

then.

A transcendental being happened to be resting in Qingliang Mountain. That transcendental being did not show up, but just said the word "extinction" lightly.

In an instant, wherever the sound passed, dozens of veteran monsters that were enough to inflict heavy damage on the Qingliang Army were all reduced to ashes, without even a trace of residue left.

The terrifying power that could destroy countless powerful enemies with just one word was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Qingliang Army at that time, and they dared not forget it at any time.

"correct!"

Just when everyone couldn't help but recall the terrifying power of that transcendent existence, Sun Yaozu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly screamed.

Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes.

He immediately swallowed his saliva with a dry throat, and then said in a solemn voice:

“I remember when I was helping out in the logistics department a few days ago, I overheard some veterans talking about this.

They said that there seemed to be a transcendent being who wanted to send his descendants to our Qingliang Army for training.

Do you think that descendant of that transcendent being could be Zhou Heng?"

"Hiss—did you hear that correctly?"

Everyone was immediately shocked by this news that was like a deep-sea minefield, and they gasped in shock, almost making the temperature in the room warmer.

"Absolutely not."

Sun Yaozu nodded heavily without hesitation:

"I even heard a few centurions discussing this matter veiledly the other day. There's no doubt about it."

"Wow, even the centurions are talking about it, I'm afraid it must be true."

Jiang Yan sighed with emotion.

"That's what I was saying. How could someone who could produce such a powerful spiritual weapon be an ordinary person? If he is truly the descendant of a transcendent being, then all of this would make perfect sense.

Furthermore, if even those who can produce such a powerful spiritual weapon are not descendants of transcendent beings, then I really can’t imagine how terrifying the descendants of transcendent beings would be.”

“Descendants of a transcendent being…”

Luo Jiu sighed repeatedly with envy on his face.

Then, he became confused again.

"Since Zhou Heng most likely doesn't intend to kill us to silence us, then why did he ask us to come find him after dawn? He couldn't have asked us to come over for no reason, could he have wanted to catch up with us?"
