âYou wonât understand even if I tell you. Just do as I say. If you do well, youâll benefit!â Zhou Shu said impatiently.
Yao Jun scratched his head and felt that Zhou Shu made sense. He was too stupid, so he naturally couldnât be distracted.
But Yao Qing was smart. He could even guide a Great Demon to break through to the Demon King realm. How could he compare to him?
Yao Jun thought for a moment before saying, âI know there are some human captives in the hands of a few Great Demons.â
âVery good. Take Demon King Hu Liâs seal and get them for me,â Zhou Shu said. âI want you to get all the human captives from the Great Demons and even the Demon Kings. The more, the better!â
âThisâ¦â Even if Yao Jun wasnât smart, he knew the difficulty of this mission.
âWith Demon King Hu Li backing you, what are you afraid of?â Zhou Shu said. âDemon King Hu Li is the thirteenth Demon King of the Demon Realm!
âIf you can complete this mission, Iâll consider giving you some pointers. I see that your cultivation is not far from the Great Demon realm.â
Yao Junâs eyes lit up.
Breakthrough to the Great Demon realm?
A piece of trash like me can become a Great Demon?
Iâll risk it!
If he could break through to the Great Demon realm, he would do anything!
âIâm on it! Lord, wait for my news!â
Yao Jun rushed out full of fighting spirit. Those who knew would know that he had gone to find someone. Those who didnât know would think that he was going to fight someone.
Zhou Shu had asked Yao Jun to find human captives on a whim. Actually, he knew that the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent were not connected before. Even if some humans ended up in the Demon Realm and became captives, there definitely wouldnât be many.
He hadnât been in the mood to save anyone before, but now that he had the chance, he would do what he could.
Over the next few days, Zhou Shu used the excuse of looking for a location to build the Demon King Palace and wandered around Demon King Hu Liâs territory.
As for Yao Aotian, he had already brought all his wealth to Zhou Shu. Not only did he offer all his wealth to Zhou Shu, but he even followed Zhou Shu like a lackey.
Although Zhou Shu was a little helpless, he couldnât refuse. After all, he had given him so much. He had to give him a chance to flatter him.
âOh, Aotian.â Zhou Shu stood on a mountain peak with his hands behind his back.
âHere.â Yao Aotian smiled obsequiously.
Originally, it was impossible for Zhou Shu to call a Great Demon by their name. But since Yao Aotian insisted, Zhou Shu could only do as he wished.
âWhat do you think of this place?â Zhou Shu smiled.
âI donât know. If you say itâs good, then itâs good,â Yao Aotian said without hesitation.
âI think this place is good,â Zhou Shu said. âLook, there are mountains here, and in front of us is a stream of water. In human terms, itâs blocking the wind and thereâs water. This is a feng shui treasure land.â
âI donât know much about it, but it sounds impressive,â Yao Aotian said very enthusiastically.
âActually, I was just saying that.â Zhou Shu smiled. âHumans like to act mysterious. How can they compare to us demonic beasts?
âLetâs not talk about feng shui. Aotian, think about it. If we build a majestic Demon King Palace here, the glazed golden roof will sparkle under the sunlight and reflect this scenery. What kind of scene is that?â
Listening to Zhou Shuâs description, a golden palace seemed to appear in front of Yao Aotian.
âIt will be great!â There were thousands of words in Yao Aotianâs heart, but when he blurted them out, they were only good words.
He was uneducated and really didnât know how to compliment something.
Zhou Shu didnât mind. He smiled and continued, âThis is the place. I donât think Demon King Hu Li will have any objections.â
âIâm sure he wonât have any objections,â Yao Aotian said with certainty. He was thinking that after he officially became a Demon King, he would also ask Yao Qing to help him build a Demon King Palace.
When the time comes, I wonât have any objections no matter what Yao Qing does,?Yao Aotian thought.
âNephew, is there anything I can do?â Yao Aotian continued. âDoes building a house require digging? Iâm good at this!â
To Yao Aotian, building the Demon King Palace was not much different from building a house.
As for why Zhou Shu wanted so many Great Demons to offer their materials, Yao Aotian didnât even think about it.
Yao Qing had his reasons for doing so.
He wanted to take advantage of the Great Demons?
How was that possible?!
Yao Qing could help Great Demons break through to the Demon King realm!
This value was incalculable.
Not to mention some worldly possessions, even if they had to give up more things, it would be worth it.
âNo. I donât need stones in this Demon King Palace.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âIf Iâm not wrong, there should be an earth fire mine under that mountain. Bring it to the surface.â
âSure.â Yao Aotian said. This wasnât difficult for a Great Demon.
âIn addition, help me empty this mountain. Then send the materials I requested to the cave.â
Zhou Shu continued to instruct.
âEmpty this mountain?â Even though he was a Great Demon, Yao Aotian felt a headache coming on. How could he empty such a huge mountain?
âWhy empty it? Arenât we going to build the Demon King Palace there?â
Yao Aotian was different from Yao Jun. He was a Great Demon and had his own thoughts.
âYouâll find out later,â Zhou Shu said mysteriously.
Yao Aotian scratched his head. He wanted to ask more, but Zhou Shu had already stepped forward.
â¦
Just as Zhou Shu was doing well in the territory of Demon King Hu Liâ¦
Two people were fleeing in a forest in a sorry state.
âPrince Cao, didnât you say that you could see Ji Lutian? What happened?â Wang Mu said while running.
Cao Chenyang was running alongside him. âI did meet him here last time!â
âCan you really do it?â Wang Mu complained. âWe almost died!â
âA man canât say no!â Cao Chenyang sped up and left his pursuers far behind.
âDo you know who the demon beast that attacked us just now was? It was Ji Lutianâs wife!
âIf sheâs here, Ji Lutian must be here too!â
âThatâs a stupid thing to say!â Wang Mu said angrily. âThat female demonic beast is a Great Demon! Not to mention us, even with Meng Bai and the others, she can still easily kill us all!
âHow can we get past her and see Ji Lutian?â
âI donât mind luring her away, but I donât have what it takes.â Cao Chenyang smiled bitterly. She was a Great Demon that could kill him in one move.
âYou want to see Lutian?â A cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
âWhy are you harassing him after all these years?â The voice was full of murderous intent. âCanât you let him live in peace?â
âI promised him not to kill anymore, but that doesnât mean I canât break your legs!â
Boom!
A fierce aura suddenly descended from the sky.
Even though Wang Mu and Meng Bai were both first-rank martial artists, they felt an invisible wall appear in front of them, stopping their escape.
The powerful pressure made it difficult for them to breathe.
âWait!â Cao Chenyang suddenly shouted.
A palm stopped in front of them.
Cold sweat broke out on their heads. Great Demons were really too terrifying. As first-rank martial artists, they actually felt that they were unable to fight back.
No wonder Great Demon Yao Lian had been able to kill countless human experts on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield.
âWhat else do you want to say?â the female voice said coldly. Her palm stopped in front of Cao Chenyang and Wang Mu. She could send them to hell at any time.
âIf you want to kill Ji Lutian, then kill us!â Cao Chenyang shouted. âWe came to save him!â
After a moment of silence, the female voice said coldly, âIf you dare to lie to me, even if Lutian gets angry, I will definitely kill you!â
