703 Pixiuâs Grotto-Heaven, Youâve All Been Kidnapped by Me (2)
Not only was there gold in Pixiuâs grotto-heaven, but there were also various other mortal treasures such as pearls, coral, amber, jade, and so on. These things were beautiful, but at the same time, they were not very useful to experts.
Pixiu seemed to collect them purely for the sake of collecting and didnât care about their value.
At least in Zhou Shuâs opinion, a portion of the items in Pixiuâs Grotto-Heaven was not very valuable.
Even so, the value of the remaining portion was immeasurable!
Zhou Shu immediately felt that he and his big brother, who owned a mine, were inferior to Pixiu.
Compared to Pixiu, the two of them were like country bumpkins in the countryside. The forging materials they had painstakingly earned were not even 1% of Pixiuâs.
If I use the forging materials in Pixiuâs grotto-heaven to forge the Reincarnation Mirror, I should be able to forge one-fifth of itâ¦
Are all these old farts so rich?
In comparison, Zhou Shu suddenly felt that he was still struggling while living in extreme poverty.
Pixiuâs collection already made him feel that he would never be able to catch up, yet it was not even enough to forge a Reincarnation Mirror.
Back then, the Demon Ancestor had forged the Reincarnation Mirror. How rich was she?
Itâs really incomparable. Zhou Shu smiled bitterly, but then he became happy again.
Now, everything in Pixiuâs grotto-heaven was his!
Damn it. I wanted to take everything out and kill Pixiu, but there are so many things that I canât take them away at all.
Pixiu was now under his control. It wasnât difficult for him to kill him, but once he died, his grotto-heaven would disappear, and the things inside would no longer exist.
This was an outcome that Zhou Shu couldnât accept. In his opinion, Pixiuâs life wasnât worth giving up so many good things.
Iâll let you live a few more days.
Zhou Shuâs figure changed as he left Pixiuâs grotto-heaven. He kicked him.
âShi Changsheng, what did you do to Lord Pixiu?â Suddenly, a loud shout sounded in Zhou Shuâs ear.
He looked up and saw Demon King Ao standing several kilometers away, staring at him angrily.
Demon King Ao had a fierce expression on his face, but he was hiding several kilometers away and didnât dare to approach. His appearance made Zhou Shu laugh.
âYou want to save him?â Zhou Shu stepped on Pixiuâs chest. âCome on. Now is the time for you to express your loyalty. If you save him, his father might give you a huge reward.â
âLet him go!â Demon King Ao clenched his fists, but he didnât approach. He shouted, âSince you know Lord Pixiuâs background, how dare you treat him like that?! Arenât you afraid of death?!â
âHaha!â Zhou Shu laughed. âDemon King Ao, who gave you the confidence to speak like that in front of me? Even Pixiuâs father wouldnât dare to speak to me like that.â
He continued coldly, âIâll give you a chance. Kneel down now like a dog, and Iâll spare your life.â
Demon King Ao was furious, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
He glared at Shi Changsheng. If looks could kill, he would have already killed Shi Changsheng a thousand times.
But when he thought of how he had been bound by Shi Changsheng, his courage immediately disappeared.
Even Pixiu had been captured alive by Shi Changsheng. His cultivation and strength were inferior to Pixiuâs.
If he was also captured by Shi Changsheng, wouldnât no one be able to report it?
If no one reported it, how could he save Pixiu?
Demon King Ao found a perfect excuse for himself. He glared at Shi Changsheng and shouted, âShi Changsheng, just you wait! If you dare to hurt Lord Pixiu, I will definitely tear you into pieces!â
With that, he turned around and ran. Afraid that Shi Changsheng would chase after him, he even used a secret technique and ran out of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court as quickly as possible, regardless of the consumption of his spiritual essence.
As Zhou Shu looked at Demon King Ao fleeing in a sorry state, a smile appeared on his face.
It seemed that Demon King Ao was scared out of his wits. His âEmpty Fort Strategyâ had scared him away. The number one Demon King of the Demon Realm was too embarrassing.
He didnât know that Zhou Shu was only putting on an empty front. He had just activated the Reincarnation Mirror to attack Pixiu, so he had exhausted all his spiritual essence. Up until now, he had only recovered a portion.
If Demon King Ao had really attacked, Zhou Shu wouldnât have been able to stop him. If anything went wrong, he might have really saved Pixiu.
Demon King Ao ran away, and Tiangou and the other Demon Kings should have left the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
Zhou Shu glanced at Pixiu on the ground. He was not in a hurry to leave the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
Without the Demon Kings, as long as he didnât run around, the Demon Realm Ancestral Court should be relatively safe.
What should I do with Yao Qing, Yao Buqi, and Sun Chuang?
Zhou Shu suddenly remembered that there were still dozens of candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm trapped in the internal space of the Reincarnation Mirror.
At the time, the Reincarnation Mirror had been activated by Yao Qing and Sun Chuangâs human-demon bloodline. It seemed to want to test Yao Qing and Sun Chuang and choose a master from them.
In the end, they were intercepted by Zhou Shuâs Legendary Armament Canon, so it was naturally impossible for the two of them to become the master of the Reincarnation Mirror.
If I kill them all, the experts of the younger generation of the Demon Realm will be wiped out.
Zhou Shu rubbed his chin. The candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm were all outstanding geniuses of the Demon Realm. If he killed them all, the Demon Realm would definitely suffer a huge blow.
But it seemed a waste to kill them just like that.
The candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm were geniuses in their own right, but the factions behind them were more important.
In laymanâs terms, most of these demonic beast geniuses were second-generation descendants of the Demon Realm.
Their elders were either senior Great Demons of the Demon Realm or were related to Demon Kings.
In any case, there were not many people who came from humble backgrounds.
These are all good hostages. Since theyâve fallen into my hands, I have to make use of them, Zhou Shu thought. Doesnât your Demon Realm always want to invade the Ten Nations Continent? Then, Iâll let you have a taste of being invaded first.
A smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand, and in a flash of light, Yao Buqi appeared in front of Zhou Shu.
Yao Buqi had just stabilized himself when he saw Zhou Shu and couldnât help exclaiming, âKing Zhou!â
âShhâ¦â Zhou Shu placed his index finger in front of his mouth.
Yao Buqi understood and corrected himself. âShi Changsheng!â
âYouâre a promising young demonic beast.â Zhou Shu nodded. âYao Buqi, the opportunity I promised you has come.â
âWhat?â Yao Buqi was stunned for a moment before he reacted and smiled bitterly. âIn this situation, can I still become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm?â
Zhou Shu had made such a big commotion. He was already lucky enough to be alive.
He didnât even dare to think about becoming the Holy Son of the Demon Realm now.
âOf course. Iâve never failed to do what I want to do,â Zhou Shu said confidently. âNow that Yao Qing and the other demonic beasts are all in my hands, who in the Demon Realm can compete with you for the position of the Holy Son?â
Yao Buqi: ââ¦â
Isnât that too unreasonable?
Did you really get rid of all my competitors?
If the Demon Realm is going to be in chaos, even if I become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, so what?
âKing Zhou, are you really going to kill them all?â Yao Buqi asked weakly.
âSo what if I kill them? So what if I donât?â Zhou Shu said casually.
âNo, Iââ Yao Buqi hesitated.
âOf course I wonât kill them,â Zhou Shu continued. âItâs a little wasteful to kill them. Yao Buqi, your chance is here. Leave the Demon Realm Ancestral Court now and go find Yao Qingâs family. There are two things. First, let them support you as the Holy Son of the Demon Realm. Iâm being good enough to you, right?â
Yao Buqi: ââ¦â
Zhou Shu smiled. âSecond, get them to send someone who keeps their word to negotiate with me and see what price theyâre willing to pay to redeem these demonic beasts.â
