Chapter 2576: Old Gods, Night at the Heaven Burial Ground
Xu Zimo hated cleaning up other people's messes most of all.
Zhang Laosan had assumed no one wanted things like Origin Pearls.
So when he collected them, he had not hidden it at all.
In the end, it was like drawing water with a bamboo basket—everything came to nothing.
With Zhang Laosan's abilities, it could be said that there was no way he could get those Origin Pearls back.
That meant Xu Zimo had to act personally.
For Xu Zimo to remain so calm over such a troublesome matter and not kill Zhang Laosan on the spot was already being polite.
Hearing Xu Zimo's words, Zhang Laosan lowered his head even further.
He did not dare to argue in the slightest.
After all, the imprint within his body was still there. His life and death remained in Xu Zimo's hands at any moment.
"On account of that piece of bone jade you gave me just now, I'll spare your life."
Only after a long while did Xu Zimo speak indifferently.
Zhang Laosan immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Just then, without even realizing it, his clothes had been soaked through with sweat.
"Tell me, who took those Origin Pearls?" Xu Zimo asked.
"It was the Patrolling Heaven Clan. They are one of the powers holding authority in Wangtian Corner."
Zhang Laosan hurriedly explained the basic situation.
The Patrolling Heaven Clan's influence was enormous. In particular, all three generations of their ancestors were still alive.
In Wangtian Corner, aside from the Daylight Land Clan, everyone had to give them face.
Xu Zimo frowned slightly and asked again, "What is the relationship between the Daylight Land Clan and the Patrolling Heaven Clan?"
"If we destroy the Patrolling Heaven Clan, will they help?"
