âItâs certainly possible,â Yao Buqi said. âBut there are only a few demonic beasts in the entire Demon Realm who can help Demon King Hu Li break through from the Great Demon realm to the Demon King realm.
âMoreover, on the battlefield, I once saw your soldiers easily breaking through realms. At that time, I knew that you definitely had a way to help others break through. Therefore, I immediately thought of you, King Zhou.â
âSo, you took a saber to probe me?â Zhou Shu continued asking.
âActually, I wouldnât call it probing,â Yao Buqi said very sincerely. âYao Qing and I really have an agreement. When we joined forces to escape back to the Demon Realm from the battlefield, I gave him a saber I picked up from the battlefield. He also owes me a favor.
âAlthough I thought Yao Qing was a fake, accidents happen, so I just wanted to be sure.
âBut after seeing you, thereâs no need to be sure.â
Yao Buqi said seriously, âAlthough your disguise is impeccable, I was sure it was you the moment I saw you!â
âWhy are you sure?â Zhou Shu was very curious.
His divine ability Myriad Transformations shouldnât have any flaws in theory.
When he saw Yao Buqi, he didnât even say a word. It was impossible for him to give anything away.
âIntuition!â Yao Buqi said seriously. âKing Zhou, in my eyes, you are like the moon in the night sky. Even if there are stars in the sky, they canât hide your light.
âI trust my own instincts. Looks like my instincts were right this time too.â
Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi and was silent for a moment.
Yao Buqiâs eyes looked very sincere. He didnât look like he was lying. Moreover, Zhou Shu thought that his divine ability Myriad Transformations indeed had no flaws.
âFine. You pass.â Zhou Shu pondered. âContinue. What do you want to cooperate with me on? I canât think of anything that I need to cooperate with you on.â
âOf course there is.â Yao Buqi said. âKing Zhou, donât you need help with what youâre doing here?â
âAre you threatening me?â Zhou Shuâs face darkened. âDo you think you can ruin my plans?â
Seeing Zhou Shuâs expression change, Yao Buqi hurriedly said, âMisunderstanding, itâs a misunderstanding! Iâm really not threatening you!
âKing Zhou, think about it. Didnât we cooperate well together on that battlefield?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI can help you now too.â
Zhou Shu glanced at him and said coldly, âNo need. Since you can find your way here, you must know that at least a dozen Great Demons are doing what you once did.
âYou think that your help is still useful to me?â
âIf you want to mine, King Zhou, with the help of those dozen or so Great Demons, you naturally donât need me.â
Yao Buqi said confidently, âBut what I can do is definitely not just mining.
âKing Zhou, you got a group of Great Demons to dig up so many ores in Demon King Hu Liâs place, but I guess you canât get the human army to move them away, right?
âI have a way to help you take all those ores and heaven and earth treasures away!â
âIs that so?â Zhou Shu said noncommittally. He naturally wouldnât tell Yao Buqi that he planned to use all of these things to forge the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
He couldnât take away the forging materials, but he could definitely take away the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
Seeing Zhou Shuâs calm attitude, Yao Buqi thought that he didnât believe him. He said anxiously, âIâm telling the truth!
âYou might not know, but Iâm a powerful demonic beast in the Demon Realmââ
âI know,â Zhou Shu interrupted.
Back at the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, he had captured Yao Buqi alive. In the end, he had attracted a first-rank demonic beast to save him. At that time, he knew that Yao Buqi was a second-generation demon and had an extraordinary status in the Demon Realm.
But it made no difference to Zhou Shu.
Even if Yao Buqi was a Demon King, Zhou Shu didnât care.
âOkay, Iâll just get to the point,â Yao Buqi said helplessly.
âI have a territory in the Demon Realm. As long as you send the items to my territory, I can slowly think of a way to send them to the place you specify.
âMy place is absolutely safe. As long as the materials arrive at my place, even Demon King Hu Li can forget about snatching them back.â
âAre you trying to say that even Hu Li canât afford to offend you? In that case, why do you want to cooperate with me?â Zhou Shu said. âEven Demon Kings canât afford to offend you. Is there anything in the Demon Realm that you canât do?â
âItâs not that Demon Kings canât afford to offend me.â Yao Buqi smiled bitterly. âButâ¦
âItâs hard to explain. Itâs because of my place.
âOnly with my permission can outsiders enter it. Otherwise, not even a Demon King can enter.
âKing Zhou, itâs definitely safe for you to send those forging materials to me. After this matter is over, Iâll send those things to the place you specify. Itâll be foolproof.â
âWhy would I go to all that trouble? I can have the Great Demons deliver the stuff to my designated place right now. They wonât have a problem. Do you believe me?â Zhou Shu said.
Zhou Shu continued, âBut Iâd like to hear it. What do you want from me by cooperating with me?â
âI want you to help me become a Great Demon. If I can break through to the Demon King realm, it will be even better,â Yao Buqi said.
âDo you think helping me store some forging materials is worth that?â Zhou Shu sneered. âYou sure are scheming.
âThose Great Demons are doing their best to help me, and they only wanted to hear me talk. Your appetite is much greater than theirs.â
Yao Buqi looked conflicted. He gritted his teeth. âThereâs one more thing I can do!
âKing Zhou, from the battlefield to the Demon Realm, there should be many human soldiers under your command, right?â
Yao Buqi struggled and said, âYou have to hide in the Demon Realm. If I say that I can provide you a place to hide where you donât have to worry about being discovered by other demonic beasts, what do you think of this condition, King Zhou? And if you canât help me break through to become a Great Demon, thatâs fine too. I just need you to pretend to be me and help me do something. I think you can pretend to be me, right?
âAs long as you pretend to be me and help me defeat a few demonic beasts, thatâs enough!
âKing Zhou, do you think this condition is enough?â
âGive the human army a place to hide? Youâre betraying the Demon Realm. Arenât you afraid of being eaten alive by the Demon Kings?â Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi curiously.
âWho will know?â Yao Buqi asked. âAs long as I donât say it and you donât say it, who will know what Iâve done?â
âYou seem to have a lot of faith in that territory of yours,â Zhou Shu said. âIf you can really provide a place that wonât be discovered, this cooperation isnât impossible.
âThe premise is that the person you want to defeat isnât a Demon King.â
Zhou Shu was a little curious about what Yao Buqi said. Not even Demon Kings could enter his territory without his permission.
Yao Buqi was only a first-rank demonic beast. Was he that important?
Needless to say, Zhou Shu was very curious about the place Yao Buqi mentioned.
âOf course itâs not a Demon King,â Yao Buqi said. âThe only people I want to defeat are my competitors.
âAs long as I have the cultivation of a Great Demon, I can definitely win.
âThis should be easy for you, King Zhou.â
âWhether itâs easy or not is not up to you,â Zhou Shu said indifferently. âBut itâs not impossible to cooperate. First, you have to tell me why youâre so sure that even Demon Kings canât enter your territory without your permission.
âIf you canât prove that, then the basis of our cooperation doesnât exist. Then you can go. If you can prove that youâre not lying, it wonât be hard for you to defeat a few demons.â
