Chapter 574: The World Is Divided Into Two Regions, Stop Here (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Yao Buqi first met Zhou Shu, although Zhou Shu’s cultivation was higher than his, there was a limit.
But it didn’t take long for Zhou Shu to be able to kill the Great Demon Yao Lian.
His cultivation speed was simply beyond Yao Buqi’s imagination. Moreover, every time Yao Buqi thought that he had seen through Zhou Shu, he would always be able to come up with some unimaginable abilities.
For example, he had disguised himself as Yao Qing and played with more than ten Great Demons and a Demon King in the palm of his hand.
Millions of demonic beasts were helping him mine. In the past, if someone had told Yao Buqi about this, he would have definitely laughed his head off.
!!
But this impossible thing happened just like that!
In Yao Buqi’s heart, anything that happened with Zhou Shu seemed to be full of possibilities. There seemed to be nothing in this world that he couldn’t do.
If he dared to say that he would destroy his entire clan, Yao Buqi would definitely not doubt his words.
“King Zhou, don’t worry. I will definitely ensure his safety.”
A look of realization flashed across Yao Buqi’s eyes. This Yao Aotian was indeed fake!
Yao Buqi was a little shocked. He increasingly felt that Zhou Shu was unfathomable.
He didn’t see any flaws in Yao Aotian either.
He could actually make humans disguise as demonic beasts seamlessly!
How many demonic beasts in the Demon Realm are humans in disguise? Yao Buqi shivered at the thought. Fortunately, I have a cooperative relationship with them.
Otherwise, perhaps one day, a demonic beast I’m familiar with might jump out and say that he’s human and attack me…
Thinking of this possibility, Yao Buqi felt that the world had changed!
He swore to himself that no matter what happened in the future, he would never become enemies with Zhou Shu!
As for the conflict between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent, what did it have to do with him?
He wasn’t the only one in the Demon Realm!
“Yes.” Yin Chengshan walked in and cupped his hands respectfully toward Zhou Shu.
Then his gaze fell on Yao Buqi.
Yao Buqi forced a smile. “Lord Yao Aotian, please take care of me.”
Although he was very sure that the Yao Aotian in front of him was an impostor, Yao Buqi couldn’t see any flaws. He pretended not to know and told himself that this was Yao Aotian!
He began to mutter in his heart, Yao Qing is King Zhou, Yao Aotian is fake, and Demon King Hu Li…
And those Great Demons helping King Zhou mine everywhere…
He couldn’t trust any of these demonic beasts.
Fortunately, it has nothing to do with me.
“Brother Yao Qing, wait for my good news!”
With a third party present, Yao Aotian was very careful not to call Zhou Shu King Zhou. Instead, he addressed him as Yao Qing.
Zhou Shu nodded. “If what you say is true, then I will help you fulfill your wish. It’s not impossible if there comes a day when you become an existence similar to Demon King Hu Li.”
“Then, I’ll thank you in advance, Brother Yao Qing!” Yao Buqi was overjoyed.
Yao Buqi left with Yin Chengshan. Just as they left, Zhou Shu’s heart suddenly stirred.
The next moment, his figure flashed and appeared several kilometers outside the cave.
“Zhang San,” Zhou Shu whispered.
In the distance, airwaves suddenly appeared in an empty area, and Zhang San’s figure appeared in front of Zhou Shu.
“Greetings, Your Highness!” Zhang San knelt on one knee.
Zhou Shu looked at Zhang San with some admiration. Zhang San didn’t have his own ability to transform into anything, but his ability to hide was really not bad.
If he didn’t search carefully, even he wouldn’t be able to discover Zhang San.
“The previous mission is canceled,” Zhou Shu said. “From now on, you will still keep an eye on Yao Aotian. But instead of a.s.sa.s.sinating him, you will protect him.”
“Huh?” Surprise flashed across Zhang San’s face, but he immediately replied, “Understood!”
“I can tell you now that Yao Aotian is one of us,” Zhou Shu said.
“I see.” Zhang San suddenly understood. But he was never good with words, so he didn’t react much to what Zhou Shu said.
“Follow him. Don’t show yourself. If he’s in danger, help him get away if you can,” Zhou Shu continued. “If things don’t work out, prioritize yourself.”
“Understood,” Zhang San said seriously.
“In addition, do your best to find out where they’re going and what the situation is,” Zhou Shu instructed.
Zhang San nodded solemnly and disappeared into the air.
Zhou Shu nodded and returned to his cave to continue forging.
Regardless of whether what Yao Buqi said was true or false, the forging of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace still had to proceed as usual.
But if Yao Buqi was telling the truth, he could search for more forging materials.
After all, there could never be too many forging materials.
There might only be one chance to make a killing like this. The next time, the demonic beasts wouldn’t be fooled so easily.
…
In the following days, Zhou Shu and Zhang Chunlin continued to forge in seclusion, even ignoring the pa.s.sage of time.
If Yin Chengshan hadn’t suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Shu, he would have almost forgotten about it.
“You’re back? Was Yao Buqi telling the truth?” Zhou Shu looked at Yin Chengshan with interest.
He was somewhat interested in a territory that even Demon Kings couldn’t enter easily.
Yin Chengshan closed the stone door and said seriously, “It’s true, Your Highness!
“Your Highness, there is a mountain in Yao Buqi’s territory. That mountain is completely under his control. Without his permission, no matter how powerful someone is, they won’t be able to enter the mountain.”
“Are you sure?” Zhou Shu asked. It wasn’t that he doubted Yin Chengshan, but Yin Chengshan’s cultivation wasn’t high. Just because he felt he couldn’t enter didn’t mean that Demon Kings really couldn’t.
Something ordinary couldn’t stop Demon Kings.
Not to mention those powerful Demon Kings, not many in the world could stop Zhou Shu with his current strength.
“Yes.” Yin Chengshan nodded. “I don’t know how powerful Demon Kings are, but I think there’s no problem with that mountain.
“Unless Demon King experts can come and go between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent at will, it’s impossible for them to enter that mountain!
“But I don’t think Demon Kings can do it. Otherwise, wouldn’t the Demon Realm have already invaded the Ten Nations?”
“What do you mean?” Zhou Shu frowned.
Why was it related to the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent?
How could the territory of a first-rank demonic beast be involved?
“I remember you saying that there is a barrier between the Ten Nations Continent and the Demon Realm. The mountain in Yao Buqi’s territory is part of this barrier!” Yin Chengshan said seriously. “I don’t know how Yao Buqi did it, but he has indeed grasped the authority of that mountain. Unless he allows it, no one can climb it.
“I also saw a stone there. There are words carved on the stone. I copied the words on it.”
Yin Chengshan took out a white cloth and handed it to Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu casually opened it and saw a few words written on it.
“The world is divided into two regions. Stop here. Those who enter will die!”
Beside these words were a few smaller words. When Zhou Shu saw these words, he was stunned.
These small words were, ‘Gao Chongming’s final words’.
Gao Chongming! Gao Chongming of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain!
Zhou Shu had once encountered a remnant of his lingering thought in the Heavenly Hub Armory. This remnant could fight Demon Queen Tushan to a standstill.
At his peak, he was definitely a top expert at the Grotto-Heaven realm!
This stone tablet was actually left behind by him?
Was the mountain in Yao Buqi’s territory also left behind by Gao Chongming?
In that case, it wasn’t impossible for Demon Kings not to dare to approach.
After all, a lingering thought could fight Tushan to a draw. The methods he left behind might be able to kill ordinary Demon Kings!
“So, Yao Buqi isn’t lying.” Zhou Shu pondered. “That mountain might really be related to the barrier between the two worlds.”
