Chapter 651: Sima Grotto-Heaven, Chaos in the Demon Realm (2)
Forging connate divine weapons was very time-consuming. But for a year in Yuheng Valley was a day in the outside world, so forging there wouldn’t delay matters outside. It couldn’t be better.
“King Zhou, something bad has happened!”
As Zhou Shu was thinking, Yao Buqi’s voice suddenly entered his ears.
Zhou Shu’s heart skipped a beat. In a flash, he was already outside the camp.
!!
“What happened?” Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi.
“King Zhou, you can’t pretend to be me to partic.i.p.ate in the battle for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm,” Yao Buqi said solemnly. “I’ve obtained reliable information. Because Demon King Liu’Er was impersonated by a human expert previously, just in case, those partic.i.p.ating in the battle for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm have to pa.s.s the test of the Demon Mirror first.”
While speaking, Yao Buqi stole a glance at Zhou Shu.
He knew very well that the person who had pretended to be Liu’Er was Zhou Shu!
When he first heard this news, he was shocked.
Back then, on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, although Zhou Shu was also very strong, he was only slightly stronger than him. He couldn’t even defeat a Great Demon. How long had it been? Not only could he kill Great Demon Yao Lian, but he could even pretend to be a Demon King now.
To be able to pretend to be a Demon King without revealing any flaws, it meant that his cultivation was already comparable to a Demon King’s.
Yao Buqi was shocked and envious.
He also wanted to become a Demon King, but he didn’t know if he would be able to achieve this in his life.
Why did it seem like Zhou Shu had obtained a cultivation level comparable to a Demon King’s so easily?
“What’s the big deal?” Zhou Shu said indifferently. He had thought that something major had happened. He had long expected Demon King Ao and the others to do this.
Previously, he had pretended to be Liu’Er, causing Demon King Ao and Tiangou to be suspicious of each other. They were probably still in a state of shock. They would probably suspect any demonic beast they saw now was fake. Without the test of the Demon Mirror, they would definitely not believe it.
This brought Ji Lutian a huge opportunity.
Just forging the Demon Mirrors for Demon King Ao and the others was enough for him to make a fortune.
“So, what should we do now?” Yao Buqi asked. “I’m definitely not Yao Wudi’s match now. When the time comes, the position of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm—”
“Don’t worry. When the time comes, I’ll definitely make you the Holy Son of the Demon Realm,” Zhou Shu said casually. “Organize the information of your compet.i.tors for me.
“At most, I won’t let them partic.i.p.ate in the selection battle of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.”
Zhou Shu said it casually, but Yao Buqi felt a chill in his heart. What does this mean?
Is he planning to kill Yao Wudi and the others?
If an expert comparable to a Demon King really wanted to a.s.sa.s.sinate them, it was really possible!
But in that case, wouldn’t all the young experts of the Demon Realm die?
At that time, even if he became the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, he wouldn’t be able to convince the public.
Most importantly, although he was cooperating with the human race, he didn’t want the Demon Realm to decline and become inferior to the human race.
“King Zhou, you must not do that!” Yao Buqi said.
“Why?” Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi calmly.
Yao Buqi racked his brains and came up with an excuse. “King Zhou, you might not know this, but the Demon Realm is in a state of panic. Demon King Ao and the other Demon Kings have jointly issued a notice that Demon King Hu Li is wanted in the entire Demon Realm. If you show yourself now, it will be very dangerous!
“Currently, almost all the demonic beasts above the Grandmaster level and Great Demons in the Demon Realm are looking for traces of Demon King Hu Li. King Zhou, if you leave the Two Region Mountain, you will be easily discovered.”
“Hu Li is wanted?” Zhou Shu frowned. “Why would they do that? Hu Li is a Demon King. Can those Great Demons catch him?”
After he left Hu Li’s territory that day, he didn’t know that Hu Li had offended Demon King Ao, nor did he know what had happened afterward.
But Hu Li was already a Demon King. How could he be so easily wanted? Even if a Great Demon found him, could they catch him?
“To the outside world, Hu Li betrayed the Demon Realm and colluded with human experts to cheat more than a hundred Great Demons of their entire wealth…”
Yao Buqi stole another glance at Zhou Shu. If he wasn’t wrong, this was also done by the man in front of him…
He really didn’t expect a human to cause such a huge commotion in the Demon Realm, but he was still staying freely here.
Yao Buqi now had some doubts about whether it was right or wrong for him to cooperate with Zhou Shu.
“Where is Hu Li now?” Zhou Shu blurted out.
“How would I know?” Yao Biqui replied.
If he knew, he would have gone to Demon King Ao and the others to get the bounty. In order to put Hu Li on the wanted list, those Demon Kings had paid an enormous price this time. Not to mention capturing Hu Li, even if he just gave some news, he would be able to get a large bounty after it was confirmed to be true.
“There’s something wrong with the Demon Kings of the Demon Realm,” Zhou Shu said. “Hu Li is such a good demonic beast. Why is he wanted?”
Yao Buqi was speechless. Don’t you know why?
If not for you, would Hu Li have fallen to this state? But then again, without you, Hu Li wouldn’t have become a Demon King.
Yao Buqi fell into deep thought. Therefore, the pros and cons of working with Zhou Shu were really hard to say. If he could break through to the Demon King realm, it didn’t seem like a big deal even if he was wanted.
Even if Hu Li was really captured by Demon King Ao and the others in the end, could they really kill him? There were only so many Demon Kings in the Demon Realm, and Hu Li hadn’t really betrayed the Demon Realm…
Zhou Shu didn’t know about the complicated thoughts in Yao Buqi’s mind. He was thinking about something else.
Hu Li is a good demonic beast. Should I take this opportunity to take in Hu Li?
It seems Hu Li would make a good mount.
Why do I feel like I forgot something? Zhou Shu frowned.
He slapped his forehead. Oh no, Yin Chengshan is still in Hu Li’s territory!
In the past, he wouldn’t have been so worried about Yin Chengshan.
Yin Chengshan had transformed into Yao Aotian. Ordinary demonic beasts didn’t dare to provoke him.
But now, Demon King Ao, Tiangou, and the others suspected any demonic beast they saw and were constantly using the Demon Mirrors to test the various demonic beasts. If they tested Yin Chengshan, it would be troublesome…
Even without the Demon Mirrors, Hu Li was now wanted by the entire Demon Realm. There was a high chance that Yin Chengshan was still with him. This was also dangerous.
“Yao Buqi, where was Hu Li last seen?” Zhou Shu asked Yao Buqi.
“Last seen?” Yao Buqi frowned in thought. “Ever since Demon King Hu Li’s advancement ceremony, he was seriously injured by Demon King Ao and disappeared.
“By the way, Yao Aotian disappeared with him.”
“After the Demon Kings issued the bounty, many demonic beasts rushed to Demon King Hu Li’s territory. In the end, they realized that his territory was long empty. Not only was he gone, but his storeroom had also been emptied…”
Yao Buqi looked at Zhou Shu. If not for the fact that the time wasn’t right, he even suspected that Zhou Shu was pretending to be Hu Li.
But at the time, he should have been pretending to be Liu’Er. He shouldn’t have had the time to pretend to be Hu Li.
But the disappearance of Hu Li was definitely related to him!
He didn’t know if Hu Li was real or fake, but he had seen Yao Aotian before. He was definitely a fake!
“He has been gone since then.” Zhou Shu pondered. In that case, Yin Chengshan shouldn’t have died. I hope I can make it in time.
“Yao Buqi, I’ll think of another way to deal with your matter. Gather the information on your compet.i.tors first and wait for me to return.”
Zhou Shu turned around and returned to the camp. He called out to Deputy Pavilion Master Shi Songtao, “Get Zhang San here! Immediately!”
