Chapter 931: Ending All Causes and Effects

In front of the headquarters building of Deng's Enterprise, the street lights flashed for unknown reasons. In the interval between the light and the dark, a woman with a black veil appeared out of nowhere. Then, in the next interval between the light and the dark, two men, one strong and one thin, appeared on the left and right of the woman again...

At this time, the woman in black veil slightly turned her head to look at the burly man on the left and said, "Your friends are still in there... You know, I don't want to have any direct conflict with them. Go in and bring that old ghost out."

Zhou Shiwu nodded slightly after hearing this, and then he entered the building in a flash. At the same time, another thin man looked at the other person's figure and said softly, "Master... those people are his former friends. Do you want me to go in with them?"

The woman in black veil raised her hand and said, "No need... I believe Zhou Shiwu has the ability to handle this matter."

Song Jiang looked at the black beetles on the ground and immediately thought of someone, so he blurted out, "Why is she here?"

Meng Zhe, who always had a serious obsession with cleanliness, immediately used the Zhu Xian Sword to draw a simple barrier around himself, isolating the beetle from approaching, and then said with a look of disgust, "Why can't it be her? Don't forget that it was Zhou Shiwu who reported that Gu Hao was trapped. It would be strange if that woman didn't have something to do with this."

After Meng Zhe reminded him, Song Jiang remembered that there was such a thing in the middle. When he thought of Zhou Shiwu, Song Jiang's mood was somewhat complicated. Song Jiang agreed and disagreed with his original choice. He agreed because he didn't have to suffer in the underworld, and this was also the path Zhou Shiwu wanted to take; he disagreed because Song Jiang never believed in Heimei, the woman, and was worried that Zhou Shiwu would be used by the other party and would stand on the opposite side of them one day.

Of course, in Song Jiang's heart, no matter what Zhou Shiwu becomes in the end... he would never kill him. He only hopes that his fifth brother can have a relatively good result, but he himself can't say what the specific result is. After all, for a ghost who stays in the world secretly, it is hard to imagine what kind of good result it will have.

When Deng Kai saw Meng Zhe mark a safe area, he quickly went over and pulled Deng Yaohui into the circle to prevent him from being affected by the insect tide. Then he looked at Gu Hao who was caught in the black air and shouted, "Gu Hao? Are you okay?!"

Maybe because he was wrapped in the black air and couldn't hear Deng Kai's words, Gu Hao didn't respond immediately. Deng Kai suddenly became anxious and wanted to go over to see what was going on. Seeing this, Song Jiang stopped him and said, "Don't worry, Gu Hao won't be in danger..."

The reason why Song Jiang was so sure was because he knew that as long as Zhou Shiwu was there, Gu Hao would definitely not be harmed. Facts proved that his judgment was correct. At this time, Gu Hao did see Zhou Shiwu in the black air. He asked in surprise, "Fifth Brother? Why... are you here?"

Zhou Shiwu glanced at Duan Tiande, who was half-dead from being sucked by the Thousand Man Slayer, and said, "I came here for him..."

Gu Hao's expression changed when he heard this and he said, "For him? You are here to save him?!" Zhou Shiwu shook his head and said, "It can't be called saving... How do you know that he didn't go from one hell to another? But Gu Hao, there is one thing you must know, whether for your own consideration or for my master's plan, you can't kill this ghost."

Although Gu Hao didn't know what the black girl's plan was, he knew that Zhou Shiwu was right about one thing, that is, if he really killed the old ghost, the underworld would definitely hold him accountable... Even if he had Meng Zhe's protection now, who could say for sure what would happen in the future? Meng Zhe was the White Tiger Lord, a true god, and no one knew where his final destination would be, but Gu Hao knew his own destination very well. If he didn't think about his own way out and repeatedly got into trouble with the underworld, it was conceivable that his end would not be much better than that of the old ghost.

Although Gu Hao knew this very well, he still had to kill the old ghost Duan Tiande at the risk of offending the underworld again, because he did not want his wrong decision to continue. There was only one way to solve the problem once and for all, and that was to deal with Duan Tiande himself, and naturally he would not cause any trouble again.

After Gu Hao understood Zhou Shiwu's intention this time, he asked in a deep voice, "Your...master, what does she want with this old ghost!?"

Zhou Shiwu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. Just remember that the cause and effect between you and him has been resolved. Everything he does from now on is the cause and effect between us and him... Gu Hao, this is the best result for you."

Gu Hao wanted to continue asking, but Zhou Shiwu raised his hand to stop him, saying, "There are some things that the less you know, the better. At the same time, I hope that you will do me a favor... and not have a direct conflict with my master. That way, we will never become enemies."

Gu Hao knew that he was able to escape this time thanks to Zhou Shiwu's information. He had to do this favor to Zhou Shiwu no matter what. He also didn't want to become an enemy of Zhou Shiwu, otherwise Song Jiang would be the one in trouble. Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice, "Fifth Brother, this old ghost is very cunning... Don't let him take advantage of you."

Zhou Shiwu nodded and said, "You can rest assured about this. My master wants him for no other reason than to have another obedient ghost slave, and the first condition for obedience is to delete all his past memories... So I can assure you that the old ghost you know will soon disappear from this world, and he will always be my master's ghost slave. He will no longer remember anything from the past, and naturally he will no longer think of taking over other people's bodies and harming them."

After getting Zhou Shiwu's promise, Gu Hao finally felt relieved, so he pulled out the Thousand Man Killer from Duan Tiande and said, "Then I will hand him over to you. Are you going to take him away with his soul?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shiwu shook his head and said, "A piece of skin is of no value to us, and it is a burden to carry with us. You can deal with it as you see fit."

Gu Hao nodded and asked, "Okay, then do you and...Song Jiang still want to meet?"

"Forget it... This is how it is. It's the same if you tell him. It's better for me to see him less often. Besides, my master just greeted them with a swarm of insects. I guess Meng Zhe won't have a good face when he sees me now. I'm already a dead man, and I don't want to see him keep a sour face." Zhou Shiwu said with a smile.
