Chapter 1340 - 1340: As Long As I’m Not Dead, Their Lives Have Nothing to Do with Me (3)

Shi Songtao pondered seriously. “If it’s from the inside, there’s a way to break through it. But I can’t do it from the outside.”
“The same goes for him,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “His refining skills can’t break through the Ten Imperial Cauldrons yet.
“That’s good.” Shi Songtao heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as the Ten Imperial Cauldrons were not destroyed, the army of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom wouldn’t be able to attack the ancestral land. They would be safe for the time being.
“Although he can’t break through the Ten Imperial Cauldrons, they have the greatest flaw. Zhou Shu said gravely. “When I reforged the Ten Imperial Cauldrons, in order to pursue the greatest defense, I made it so that they could only defend against the outside and not the inside. If someone destroys them from the inside…
“Are you serious?” Shi Songtao was shocked. “There shouldn’t be such a traitor in the human race, right? Who would do this?”
“The human heart is unpredictable.” Zhou Shu said. “Apart from the human race, there are also demonic beasts. The beast tide has yet to be completely calmed.
“Moreover, how can you guarantee that humans are not affected by the Heavenly Dao like demonic beasts?”
Zhou Shu remembered clearly that, back then, those Grotto-Heaven Masters had been affected by the Heavenly Dao, and their temperaments had changed drastically.
The Heavenly Dao of the ancestral land had already been infected by the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom’s Black Emperor. No one knew who it affected.
Shi Songtao, who had just relaxed, tensed up again. “Your Highness, I’ll send more people to guard the Ten Imperial Cauldrons!”
As long as no outsiders came into contact with the Ten Imperial Cauldrons, no one would be able to destroy them.
Zhou Shu shook his head. He had already arranged for people to guard the Ten Imperial Cauldrons.
But even so, he didn’t dare to say that nothing unexpected would happen. As they spoke, they saw the expressions of Wu Suchen and Zhan Jingtao suddenly change.
Even through the light screen, they could hear an extremely loud bang coming from the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
Zhou Shut s eyes flashed, as if he could see through the endless distance. He saw a monstrous amount of churning water in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, as if a volcano had erupted in the water.
He looked startled. What was going on? Did something happen in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom?
Looking at the momentum of the waves, what was happening in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was not small.
Then Zhou Shu saw Wu Suchen and Zhan Jingtao fly toward the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom together. In the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, the millions of soldiers behind the pa.s.sageway also erupted with powerful auras to resist the surging waves.
“Your Highness, what happened?” Shi Songtao didn’t have Zhou Shu’s strength and couldn’t see the scene behind the spatial pa.s.sageway, but he saw Wu Suchen and Zhan Jingtao leave in a hurry.
“There seems to be internal strife in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. There’s a fire in their backyard,” Zhou Shu said with a strange expression. “This is a good thing for us.”
Previously, the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom had tried to make them fight internally with the demonic beasts and took the opportunity to invade. If Zhou Shu hadn’t prepared the Ten Imperial Cauldrons, they would have succeeded. Now, things had changed drastically, and there was an internal strife on their end.
But he didn’t know what caused the internal strife in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom.
“It’s best if they fight dogfights and kill each other off!” Shi Songtao said fiercely.
But he knew that this was almost impossible.
“No matter what happens in the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom, it’s beneficial to us. Deputy Pavilion Master Shi, don’t worry about anything else for now. Get everyone to speed up the forging process. There must be no problem with the supply of divine weapons,” Zhou Shu said.
Shi Songtao said seriously, “Understood!”
Ancestral land, Demon Realm…
The battle was still ongoing.
The threat of the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom was temporarily gone, and reinforcements had already arrived.
The human race gradually gained an overwhelming advantage.
Large groups of demonic beasts fell in pools of blood.
Yao Buqi’s eyes were red, and his body was trembling slightly.
Speaking of which, he didn’t have much feelings for these demonic beasts. In the past, he didn’t care about the lives of demonic beasts at all.
But now, seeing large numbers of demonic beasts die, he couldn’t take it anymore.
These demonic beasts were not only his subjects but also his race.
He felt sad.
“Do you feel pain?” A voice sounded in Yao Buqi’s ears.
It was Yao Qing.
“Yao Qing!” Yao Buqi glanced at Yao Qing with a complicated expression.
Yao Qing was no longer the Yao Qing he knew. He was Zhou Shu’s only disciple and the son of the Demon Ancestor.
He was no longer an ordinary demonic beast.
“If you want to save them, you have to wake them up,” Yao Qing said indifferently.
Yao Buqi’s eyes lit up. “Do you have an idea?”
If all the demonic beasts were killed, how could he become the Demon Paragon?
How could an emperor without citizens be considered an emperor?
Besides, Yao Buqi really couldn’t bear to see all his kind being slaughtered.
“Yes,” Yao Qing said calmly. “They lost their minds because they were affected by the tainted Heavenly Dao. If we want them to regain their consciousness, we have to sever this influence.
“Obviously!” Yao Buqi said angrily. Do you think I don’t know that? The problem now is how to sever this influence!
Even Zhou Shu can’t do it. He treats demonic beasts as a force he can win over.
If he could do it, he wouldn’t have given the order to kill all the demonic beasts.
“I never state the obvious,” Yao Qing said indifferently. “The reason why the Heavenly Dao can affect the minds of demonic beasts is because of their bloodlines.
“As long as we extract their bloodlines, we can prevent them from being affected, and they will be able to regain their consciousness.
“As long as a demonic beast sacrifices itself and absorbs the tainted part of the demonic beast bloodline into its body, these demonic beasts can be saved.” Yao Buqi looked at Yao Qing with a calm expression.
“Me?” Yao Buqi pointed at his nose, his face full of disbelief. “Do you think I, Yao Buqi, am the kind of person who would sacrifice myself for demonic beasts?
“It’s true that I want to save them, but it doesn’t mean I have to sacrifice myself. I’m not crazy.”
Yao Buqi said seriously, “As long as I don’t die, I don’t care if they live or die.”
Yao Buqi was still the same. He had never been a demonic beast who would sacrifice himself for others..
