841 Are You Dead? The Ruler of Demonic Beasts (2)
After returning to the wall, Tang Qianluo threw Zhou Shuâs corpse to Ao Guang.
Zhang Jiping said coldly, âAo Guang, weâve brought him. You can retreat now!â
âIs it him?â Ao Guang turned to ask the other Demon Kings.
A few Demon Kings went forward to observe the corpse. âYes.â
âZhang Jiping, you people are quite sensible.â
Ao Guang slapped âZhou Shuâsâ corpse. The corpse made a few muffled sounds, and then blood splattered everywhere. If he had faked his death, he would be completely dead now,
âIâll keep my word and let you live another year.â Ao Guang grinned. âA year later, Iâll personally come and twist off your heads. I hope you donât disappoint me. If you die too easily, it will be meaningless.â
Ao Guang grinned sinisterly, turned into a golden stream of light, and returned to the Demon Realm.
The crazy beast army retreated into the Demon Realm like a receding tide.
They really retreated!
Zhang Jiping heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Tang Qianluo and asked in a low voice, âWhereâs the secret formula?â
âIn Ji Lutianâs hands.â Tang Qianluoâs expression was gloomy. âWhen we went over, Zhou Shu had already died at Ji Lutianâs hands.â
âMm?â Zhang Jipingâs expression changed slightly.
Zheng Chengan, who had been watching coldly from the side, frowned. Old Ji killed Zhou Shu?
How is that possible?
Confusion flashed across Zheng Chenganâs eyes. He subconsciously looked at Zhou Shuâs corpse on the ground. Suddenly, his pupils constricted.
âMeng Bai! If youâre afraid of death, donât stop me! Iâll fight them to the death!â Bai Qiancheng growled not far away.
Meng Bai stopped him. âWhat do you want to do? Do you want to fight to the death? Can you kill them?â
âEven if I canât kill them, I have to try!â Bai Qiancheng shouted. âMeng Bai, His Highness treated you well. He died in the hands of these people. Are you just going to watch helplessly?â
âCalm down!â Meng Bai said solemnly. âItâs precisely because of this that we have to calm down. Only by saving our strength can we avenge His Highness!â
A strange look flashed across Meng Baiâs eyes.
Beside him, Wang Mu also looked thoughtful.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Zheng Chengan punched a deep pit in the ground.
With a wave of his hand, he pushed âZhou Shuâsâ corpse into the pit.
âZheng Chengan, what are you doing?!â Tang Qianluo shouted.
âHmph, youâve already forced him to his death. Do you want to leave his corpse in the wilderness?â Zheng Chengan said coldly without even turning his head. âYouâre ruthless. I canât do it.
âHe died unjustly. I, Zheng Chengan, am not capable enough to stop you, but I can still give him a burial.â
Zheng Chengan took a step forward, and a violent force raised the yellow soil. Then it landed in the deep pit and buried âZhou Shuâsâ corpse.
Zheng Chenganâs aura erupted, blocking everyoneâs gaze. No one saw that âZhou Shuâsâ corpse, which was buried under the dust, slowly transformed into another person.
As the dust settled, Zheng Chenganâs aura penetrated the soil and shook the corpse into a mass of flesh and blood, mixing it with the soil. No one could distinguish it anymore.
A mocking smile appeared on Zheng Chenganâs lips.
âThe secret formula is with Ji Lutian. He asked us to go over and discuss it with him.â Tang Qianluoâs voice sounded. âEveryone, Ji Lutian is too arrogant.â
Zhang Jiping shook his head slightly. âIt doesnât matter as long as thereâs the secret formula.
âEveryone, letâs discuss it with Mr. Ji.â
He led the way toward Two Region Mountain.
Zheng Chengan pursed his lips and flew up as well. He also wanted to see what Ji Lutian was up to.
It wasnât until the grotto-heaven leaders left that Meng Bai, Wang Mu, and Bai Qiancheng arrived in front of the grave that Zheng Chengan had made.
âDamn it!â Bai Qiancheng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red.
âOld Bai, donât get agitated.â Wang Mu narrowed his eyes, restrained the fluctuations in his heart, and whispered, âThe one buried here might not be His Highness.â
âMm?â Bai Qiancheng frowned.
âHis Highness wonât die so easily,â Meng Bai also whispered. âXiao Jianghe is also on the Two Region Mountain. If Ji Lutian really attacked His Highness, itâs impossible for Xiao Jianghe not to react.â
Bai Qianchengâs eyes flashed. This did seem to make sense.
âThenâ¦â
âAct,â Meng Bai said. His face revealed grief as he knelt on one knee on the ground. He found a piece of wood somewhere and actually made a tombstone.
Wang Mu also had tears in his eyes. He punched the ground with both fists, as if he had nowhere to vent his anger.
Bai Qiancheng ridiculed them inwardly. These two old foxes clearly saw through the abnormality, but theyâre acting so well. Weâre all generals, but why are you two so outstanding?
â¦
Another group of uninvited guests came to the Two Region Mountain.
Ji Lutian had taken the lead to set up tables and chairs on top of the Two Region Mountain and invited Zhang Jiping and the others to sit down.
This scene made Yao Buqi, who was hiding halfway up the mountain, roll his eyes. Iâm the master of the Two Region Mountain. What do they think this place is?
âYao Buqi, did you see that? If youâre not strong enough, you can only be controlled by others.â An ordinary-looking man was sitting beside Yao Buqi.
âKing Zhou, you must be joking. I donât have any thoughts,â Yao Buqi hastily said.
âReally? What if someone wants to take away your Two Region Mountain?â Zhou Shu smiled faintly.
...
âYao Buqi, it doesnât matter if youâre ambitious. But if youâre ambitious, you have to have the strength to match it.
âAs a human, itâs impossible without strength. Look at me. Iâm a clear example. My strength is inferior to others, so I can only pretend to be deadâ¦â
âKing Zhou, donât tease me.â Yao Buqi smiled bitterly. âYou have a plan. I donât think those people can kill you.â
Yao Buqi was full of confidence in Zhou Shu. Even the Demon King earlier was no match for him. These humans couldnât kill him at all. He must be up to no good again.
âLetâs return to the topic at hand. Yao Buqi, let me ask you a question. Do you want to become the ruler of demonic beasts?â Zhou Shu said with a smile.
âThe ruler of demonic beasts?â Yao Buqi didnât understand.
âDidnât you want to become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm before? No matter how nice you make it sound, itâs just a title. Being the ruler of demonic beasts means that all the demonic beasts in the world will have to obey you. And you will become the king of demonic beastsâ¦â
âHuh?!â Yao Buqi was surprised. âI donât have that ability.â
He was only a Great Demon now, and he was even considered weak among Great Demons. How could he become the ruler of demonic beasts?
âJust because you donât have the ability now doesnât mean you wonât in the future. And being a king doesnât necessarily require brute force.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âAs long as you have leadership, you can become the ruler of demonic beasts. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can save the demonic beasts from this situation, donât you think they will be grateful to you? If you can lead them to do great things, wonât they treat you as their king?â
âHow can I save them?â Yao Buqi asked curiously. âI donât want to lead them to do anything great either.
...
âWhat can I do? I only know how to mine.â
Yao Buqiâs role as a miner seemed to have penetrated deep into his bonesâ¦
âIn this world, the easiest thing to do is to be a leader.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âYou just need to talk. There will naturally be people helping you handle matters.
âWhat you have to do is lead the demonic beasts and live in peace with the human race. Thatâs enough.â
âKing Zhou, are you serious?â Yao Buqi finally understood. He looked at Zhou Shu and said in a panic, âKing Zhou, what do you want me to do? Youâre not going to make me go to the Demon Realm to help you recruit demonic beasts, are you? I really canât. Demon King Hu Li, look for Demon King Hu Li. His cultivation is much higher than mine. He will definitely be able to help you recruit a large number of demonic beasts!â
