Xiao Jianghe tried his best to calm himself down, but he could still hear his heart pounding.
He cursed himself for being so useless, but he still couldnât control himself.
This was even more exciting than facing the charge of an army of demonic beasts.
The two of them swaggered into the camp of the Demon Realm army. Facing them was a Great Demon that surpassed the first rank of the Martial Dao.
Even though Xiao Jianghe had experienced so much, it still felt like a dream to him.
Most importantly, Great Demon Yao Li was very polite to them.
Xiao Jianghe tried his best to appear expressionless as he stood behind Zhou Shu.
He was full of admiration for Zhou Shu. As expected of the king, he was able to remain calm in this situation.
Zhou Shu was indeed not nervous at all. Great Demon Yao Li was an existence that he could easily defeat. What was there to be nervous about?
âYao Qing greets Lord Yao Li.â Zhou Shu cupped his hands calmly.
âItâs you, my nephew.â Yao Li was a burly man, but he just had to act like a gentleman, making him seem a little out of place. He chuckled and said to Zhou Shu, âNephew, why did you come here instead of resting after returning from the battlefield?â
He spoke very politely, but there was a hint of interrogation in his words.
Hearing this, Zhou Shu was already certain that Yao Qing had returned to the Demon Realm before the Zhuling Grotto-Heaven collapsed.
He wondered if Yao Buqi had escaped.
âPreviously, I suffered some losses at the hands of those humans. If I donât take revenge, it will greatly affect my Martial Dao,â Zhou Shu said solemnly. âSo, Lord Yao Li, please do me a favor.â
âItâs naturally best if you are willing to join my expedition army.â Yao Li laughed. âWith you around, itâs like adding wings to a tiger.â
His gaze turned to the first-rank demonic beast who had brought Zhou Shu and Xiao Jianghe here. âYao Jun, I asked you to investigate the situation. Have you investigated clearly? With Yao Qing joining us, if we can find traces of that human army, we will definitely be able to destroy them with lightning speed.â
Yao?Jun1? Zhou Shu almost laughed out loud.?How is this strange-looking fellow handsome??
These demonic beastsâ names are really casual.
Zhou Shu now understood the rules of demonic beasts. In the Demon Realm, first-rank demonic beasts were qualified to have the last name âYaoâ. Only Demon Kings were qualified to have unique last names, just like Demon Queen Tushan.
The goal of Great Demons like Yao Li was to one day have their own surname.
âLord, the phenomenon we saw was caused by two humans. I was about to catch them, but they bumped into Yao Qing and were killed,â Yao Jun said.
Zhou Shu glared at him. He pretended not to notice and lowered his head.
âIâm willing to be punished for my incompetence.â
âForget it.â Yao Li waved his hand. âYou canât blame Yao Qing. After all, he doesnât know the situation here.
âBut it doesnât matter. You didnât catch anyone alive, but I did catch someone alive.â Yao Li said proudly.
âThese humans donât know whatâs good for them. They still dare to cause so much commotion in my Demon Realm. I captured the human who caused the commotion earlier.â
Zhou Shu was shocked. The commotion mentioned by Yao Li should be the phenomenon caused by his forging of a connate divine weapon.
Could it be Yang Hong?
Surely not?
He was captured alive?
Zhou Shu really didnât know if Yang Hongâs luck was good or bad.
After Yang Hong was captured alive by demonic beasts, Zhou Shu actually managed to come across the Demon Realm army that captured him and went to take a look on a whim. This was fate.
âLord Yao Li, have you already interrogated the whereabouts of the human army?â Zhou Shu looked excited. âThen letâs hurry up! I canât wait to take revenge!â
âI just brought him back. I havenât had a chance to interrogate him yet.â Yao Li shook his head. âIf youâre interested, why donât you come with me to interrogate him?â
âGreat!â Zhou Shu said without hesitation. âBreak his limbs and pull out his bones. I donât believe he wonât confess!â
âYao Qing, youâre wrong.â Yao Mei smiled. âHumans are still the best at interrogation.
âYou canât compare to your father in this regard.
âI used to drink and chat with your father, and I got a copy of the humansâ Top Ten Torture Methods from him.
âI wonât hide it from you, Yao Qing. Iâve studied this punishment technique a little. Watch me use it. Iâll definitely make that human brat confess everything!â
Zhou Shuâs heart skipped a beat.?Yao Li is on good terms with Yao Qingâs parents? No wonder he favors Yao Qing so much.
But Yao Qing is a shut-in and rarely interacts with the other demonic beasts. Yao Li shouldnât have seen any flaws.
The father heâs referring to is Ji Lutian, right?
It seems Ji Lutian is doing well in the Demon Realm. He can actually drink and chat with a Great Demon?
But what is this Top Ten Torture Methods?
Zhou Shu had only heard of the Top Ten Tortures Method of the Qing Dynasty in his previous life. In this life, he had really never heard of any top ten tortures.
