Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi, waiting for him to explain.
Zhou Shu didnât care about cooperating with him.
Even without Yao Buqiâs help, he would make a killing this time.
But if what Yao Buqi said was true, there was no harm in cooperating with him.
It would be great to have a traitor among the demonic beasts.
After all, if humans could betray the human race, why couldnât demonic beasts betray the Demon Realm?
âI can prove it. If you come with me there, youâll believe me,â Yao Buqi said.
âYao Buqi, do you think Iâm a fool?â Zhou Shu smiled faintly.
âDo you think Iâll just follow you to the place you mentioned? If you set up a trap with demonic beasts there, wouldnât I be walking right into a trap?
âAlthough Iâm not afraid, it will make me look stupid.â
âItâs true!â Yao Buqi explained. âKing Zhou, this isnât our first time dealing with each other. I know your ability better than any demonic beast.
âOne Demon King might not even be enough to kill you. Do you think I have the ability to mobilize three or more Demon Kings?
âIf I really had that ability, why would I take this risk?
âKing Zhou, the hierarchy in the Demon Realm is strict. Iâm taking the risk to seek cooperation with you just to climb up and obtain more cultivation resources.
âI really donât have the ability to deal with you.â
Zhou Shu snorted. âJust because you donât have the ability, it doesnât mean you are not thinking about it.â
âIf I said I donât want to go against you, wouldnât I be lying to myself?â Yao Buqi said sincerely. âItâs still like what you humans say. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits. We can cooperate now. Similarly, if the benefits are great enough in the future, I might fight you, King Zhou.â
âYouâre quite honest.â Zhou Shu nodded.
âSince weâre going to cooperate, we naturally have to be honest with each other.â
Yao Buqi said solemnly, âKing Zhou, I can swear on the Great Dao that this time, I am definitely sincere about cooperating with you. If I lie, I will never be able to break through to the Demon King realm!â
âYou might not be able to break through to the Demon King realm anyway.â Zhou Shu pursed his lips.
There were countless demonic beasts in the Demon Realm. But over the years, there were only thirteen Demon Kings.
To most demonic beasts, it was already extremely lucky to break through to the Great Demon realm in their lifetime, let alone the Demon King realm.
Even if Yao Buqi came from an extraordinary background, the upper limit of his life would most likely be that of a Great Demon. It was even possible that he might not be able to break through to the Great Demon realm.
His oath didnât have much of a restraining effect.
Of course, Zhou Shu didnât believe him either.
âIf thatâs all you have to say, then please leave,â Zhou Shu said indifferently. âSince you did well on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, I wonât kill you this time.
âBut if you dare to reveal my identity in advance and ruin my plan, I guarantee that even if my plan fails, I will definitely take your life!
âPlease believe that I can do it. Even if you have Demon Kings protecting you, if I want to kill you, you will definitely die!â
Zhou Shuâs eyes shone brightly.
Yao Buqi felt a chill run down his spine, and he quickly shook his head. âNo, I would never do that!â
Yao Buqi didnât leave. Instead, he insisted âBut King Zhou, I have another idea! If youâre worried that Iâll collude with the Demon Kings to plot against you, you donât have to go personally.
âAll you have to do is send someone to my territory with me to understand that Iâm not lying.â
Yao Buqi glanced outside the door and continued, âKing Zhou, as long as you send someone you trust to take a look at my territory, you will know that it is absolutely safe there. Without my permission, no Demon King can enter.â
Yao Buqi emphasized the safety of his territory again.
Zhou Shu actually didnât believe it. The thirteen Demon Kings of the Demon Realm were definitely at the top of the pyramid. In the Demon Realm, there was nowhere they couldnât go.
Why would a Demon King need the permission of a mere first-rank demonic beast to enter his territory?
Even if Yao Buqiâs father was a Demon King, this was impossible!
Yao Buqi continued, âKing Zhou, you should know that I will never dare to attack your people. If anything happens to the person you send, wonât you kill me for revenge? I will never joke around with my life.â
It was obvious that he really wanted to cooperate with Zhou Shu. Otherwise, he wouldnât be so anxious.
Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi and pondered for a moment before saying, âIâll give you a chance.â
He said indifferently, âAotian.â
Yin Chengshan answered from outside the door. âHere!â
âFollow Yao Buqi,â Zhou Shu said. âBring your brains with you. Look more and say less. If Yao Buqi wants to kill you, you donât have to fight back. Just let him kill you.
âIf you die, I will make Yao Buqi and his entire clan die with you.â
Zhou Shuâs tone was calm, but Yao Buqi felt a chill run down his spine.
Others didnât understand Zhou Shu, but Yao Buqi had been a miner under him for a long time.
He knew very well how terrifying Zhou Shu was.
