700 The Armament Canon Shows Its Might, Half the Reincarnation Mirror (1)
When they saw that Pixiu was actually forced back several kilometers, the expressions of Demon King Ao, Tiangou, He Yuan, and the others changed drastically.
An uncontrolled weapon could actually repel Pixiu, whose cultivation far exceeded theirs.
If it was them, they might be seriously injured or even killed.
The Demon Realm Ancestral Court was indeed a very dangerous place.
For the first time, the Demon Kings felt that the Demon Realm Ancestral Court was really dangerous enough to kill them.
"Haha."
The Demon Kings were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly. But Pixiu, who was forced back, laughed loudly. "It's indeed here! You're mine!"
Pixiu laughed loudly, and his body grew to another thousand feet. His large hands grabbed at the weapon that had peeled off the black and white pattern and revealed its true form.
The weapon was a mirror.
The mirror was neither gold nor jade, and it looked abnormally heavy. On the back of the mirror were words that looked like tadpoles and the shapes of clouds, dragons, and strange birds. On the front, the mirror was glowing slightly. If one focused their attention, they would be able to see that there seemed to be rain falling inside, as well as golden light. In the light, clouds, wind, rain, and fire were constantly changing.
Buzz—
The light in the mirror suddenly shot out and collided with Pixiu's hands.
A loud collision sounded again. Demon King Ao, Tiangou, He Yuan, and the other Demon Kings frowned and retreated again.
The aftershock of the collision was unbearable for the Demon Kings. They had no choice but to retreat again to avoid being implicated.
As for helping Pixiu, they had never thought about it.
Pixiu was far stronger than them. If he could win, it would be the same without them. If he couldn't win, it would be the same without them…
"How strong!" Pixiu's hands were flicked away, but instead of being angry, he was delighted. "The stronger you are, the more I like you!"
Pixiu shouted and grabbed again.
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out from the mirror and grabbed the mirror!
…
A moment ago, just as a powerful suction force suddenly erupted from the bottom of the lake, Zhou Shu instinctively wanted to break free and return to the surface.
But he quickly reacted. Seeing Yao Qing, Sun Chuang, and the other demonic beasts being sucked over, he gave up resisting and allowed the suction force to pull him down.
After a few seconds, Zhou Shu felt his body lighten, and then his feet landed on solid ground.
The surrounding lake water had disappeared. In its place was a white fog that blocked his sight.
Zhou Shu released his divine sense. There was no one else within a hundred feet.
Yao Qing, Sun Chuang, Yao Buqi, and the others were all not here!
Could this be the Demon Ancestor's peerless divine weapon?
Zhou Shu immediately thought of the Heavenly Hub Armory of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain.
Weapons were like humans. When a person's cultivation reached the Grotto-Heaven realm, a grotto-heaven would be born in their body.
A weapon could also contain a space.
This was the origin of heaven divine weapons. The more spaces a weapon contained, the greater its power. In theory, if a weapon could contain thirty-three heavens, it could even become a world.
However, it wasn't easy for a weapon to contain multiple spaces. Back then, the Heavenly Hub Armory of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain was only a nine-heaven divine weapon, but it was already the best in the world.
Thirty-three heavens was just a theory.
Since ancient times, Zhou Shu didn't know if there were any thirty-three heaven divine weapons. The strongest divine weapon he knew was the Heavenly Hub Armory, but it was only a nine-heaven divine weapon.
It was unknown how many heavens the Demon Ancestor's peerless divine weapon had. It was very likely that he was inside the weapon.
As Zhou Shu thought about it, a light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the Legendary Armament Canon appeared in front of him automatically.
The pages of the book flipped, and soon, it revealed a blank page. On the blank page, there seemed to be an invisible paintbrush quickly drawing on it.
Almost instantly, a mirror appeared on this blank page.
Reincarnation Mirror?
Zhou Shu saw the name of the mirror, and immediately, light flew out from the Legendary Armament Canon and fell into his glabella.
In an instant, Zhou Shu learned about the Reincarnation Mirror.
Reincarnation Mirror, eighteen-heaven divine weapon, half-complete…
Half-complete?
In the past, the weapons recorded in the Legendary Armament Canon were all divine weapons personally forged by Zhou Shu. Why was the Reincarnation Mirror recorded this time?
He was a little puzzled. Although he had obtained the Legendary Armament Canon for many years, he still didn't know much about it.
Zhou Shu didn't dare to say that he completely understood what the Legendary Armament Canon was, where its rewards came from, and what functions it had.
The Reincarnation Mirror was clearly not personally forged by him, but it was recorded in the Legendary Armament Canon. It was the first time something like this happened.
The complete state of this Reincarnation Mirror is an eighteen-heaven divine weapon. But it was divided into two Yin Yang Mirrors, and there's only one half in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, so it's considered half-complete.
According to the information obtained from the Legendary Armament Canon, the Yin Yang Mirror in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court was a half-complete divine weapon. But half of it was already nine heavens. It was comparable to the Heavenly Hub Armory of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain back then.
Is that why the Legendary Armament Canon recorded it?
701 The Armament Canon Shows Its Might, Half of the Reincarnation Mirror (2)
Zhou Shu was a little puzzled. Although he didn't know why, it was a good thing that the Legendary Armament Canon recorded the Reincarnation Mirror.
As long as it was a weapon recorded in the Legendary Armament Canon, Zhou Shu would directly master its forging method.
Although the Reincarnation Mirror was powerful, it was no exception.
But although Zhou Shu had obtained the forging method of the Reincarnation Mirror, he felt that it was almost impossible for him to forge it himself.
Forging the Reincarnation Mirror required too many heaven and earth treasures. Zhou Shu found it difficult to imagine how the person who had forged the Reincarnation Mirror had gathered these forging materials. How rich was this person?
Zhou Shu had plundered so many forging materials on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield and fooled those Great Demons in the Demon Realm. But even all the forging materials he had obtained combined were not enough to forge the Reincarnation Mirror.
Moreover, the Reincarnation Mirror was an eighteen-heaven divine weapon. Forging it required at least eighteen Divine Stones!
So far, Zhou Shu didn't know the origin of Divine Stones. Other than the Divine Stone he had obtained from Ji Lutian, he had never seen one anywhere else.
This Reincarnation Mirror is really a peerless divine weapon. Its value is immeasurable. Zhou Shu pondered. The more this is the case, the more it can't fall into Pixiu's hands!
Just as Zhou Shu had this thought, he saw the Legendary Armament Canon shine brightly, and the space he was in shook violently.
Suddenly, he felt as if his consciousness was being pulled by something, and it was constantly rising. In an instant, it reached an indescribable height. When he looked down, he saw layered heavens, as well as Yao Qing, Sun Chuang, and Yao Buqi.
The heavens they were in were different, but it seemed that the place where Yao Qing and Sun Chuang were was clearly different from other demonic beasts.
The two of them seemed to be fighting for control of the Reincarnation Mirror.
But now, Zhou Shu instantly felt that he knew everything about the nine heavens in the Reincarnation Mirror. In these nine heavens, he was the true heaven, and he could shatter the heavens with a thought!
At the same time, he felt that he could use the power of the nine heavens. Although these nine heavens couldn't compare to the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent, the power they contained exceeded Zhou Shu's imagination.
I've become the owner of this Reincarnation Mirror? Zhou Shu instantly understood what had happened.
Without trying to refine this half of the Reincarnation Mirror, he actually became the owner of it.
Is it because the Legendary Armament Canon recorded it? Does the Legendary Armament Canon have such a function?
Zhou Shu pondered. Suddenly, he felt his body tremble. Someone was attacking the Reincarnation Mirror!
…
All of this seemed to have happened in an instant. With a thought, Zhou Shu stepped out of the Reincarnation Mirror and reached out to grab it.
"Give it to me!" A loud shout came.
When he looked up, it was Pixiu's eager face.
"You want it?" Zhou Shu's lips curled up slightly.
"Hurry up and give it to me. I'll give you a great merit!" Pixiu said anxiously.
"If I remember correctly, you've already given me five great merits, right? Why don't we talk about how you're going to reward me for these five great merits first? Then we'll talk about it. How about that?" Zhou Shu said with a smile.
Pixiu frowned. Why does it feel like this Great Demon's attitude is a little different from before?
What's his name? Oh right, it seems to be Yao Wudi!
"You're Yao Wudi, right? Do you know who I am?" Pixiu said coldly. "Since I've given you credit, I definitely won't forget your rewards. Give me the mirror. Don't force me to take it myself!"
"I want to see the rewards now. Otherwise, don't even think about this mirror." Zhou Shu shook his head. "As for who you are, I don't care at all."
"Bastard!" Pixiu shouted and reached out to snatch the Reincarnation Mirror from Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu's expression didn't change, and a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.
Buzz—
Zhou Shu raised the Reincarnation Mirror in his hand. In the mirror, a beam of light as thick as a bucket instantly shot out and collided with Pixiu's hand with a bang.
Pixiu groaned in pain and backed up several kilometers before crashing into a mountain.
All the Demon Kings present were dumbfounded. What happened? Lord Pixiu was sent flying?
That's not right!
"You're not Yao Wudi! You're Shi Changsheng!" Demon King Ao suddenly roared.
He stared at Zhou Shu, his face full of killing intent.
"Demon King Ao, you're finally smart for once." Zhou Shu laughed. With a flash of light, he transformed into a sage-like old Daoist priest.
"This is between me and Pixiu. If you don't want to die, get lost!" Zhou Shu shouted and took a step forward.
Another light emitted from the Reincarnation Mirror and struck Pixiu's chest, forcing him back again.
At the same time, Zhou Shu used the Dragon Binding Technique. With a whoosh, the Dragon Binding Technique hit Pixiu.
Pixiu, who was suppressed by the Reincarnation Mirror, was hit by the Dragon Binding Technique before he could even react.
The Dragon Binding Technique was a divine ability specially targeting true dragons. Any demonic beast with the true dragon bloodline couldn't escape its restraints.
Zhou Shu had previously used the Dragon Binding Technique to capture the number one Demon King of the Demon Realm, Demon King Ao, alive.
Without the Dragon Binding Technique, capturing Demon King Ao alive would be basically impossible.
Not to mention Demon King Ao, it was hundreds or even thousands of times harder to capture any Demon King alive than to defeat them.
Demon King Ao only had a trace of a true dragon bloodline in him, but the Dragon Binding Technique could already restrain him. The true dragon bloodline on Pixiu was much richer than Demon King Ao's!
As soon as the Dragon Binding Technique hit him, it instantly locked all the meridians in his body like threads.
Pixiu was indeed impressive. He could actually still struggle against the Dragon Binding Technique that made Demon King Ao unable to move at all!
Zhou Shu's true cultivation was not even at the Grotto-Heaven realm.
With the cultivation of an Earth Immortal, being able to restrain a demonic beast who had cultivated a grotto-heaven was already something that could be bragged about for the rest of his life.
Even if it was only for a moment!
Enduring the emptiness in his body, Zhou Shu tried his best to use the Dragon Binding Techniques two more times on Pixiu.
Pixiu's struggle decreased again.
Zhou Shu's Dragon Binding Technique was unable to restrain Pixiu completely.
Since the Dragon Binding Technique didn't work, Zhou Shu had another way.
With a flash, he was already in front of Pixiu.
Pixiu, who was trying his best to break free from the Dragon Binding Technique, saw a fist growing in his vision.
Then there was a bang, and a black eye appeared on his face.
Pixiu was stunned.
He had never been humiliated like this since he was born!
Bang bang bang!
The sounds continued. Two fists landed on Pixiu's face like rain.
In an instant, Pixiu's head turned into a pig's head. Even those most familiar with him would probably not be able to recognize him.
Demon King Ao, Tiangou, and the other Demon Kings, who had already retreated a hundred kilometers away, revealed shocked expressions.
Lord Pixiu is being beaten too badly!
Why is Shi Changsheng so strong?
Since the human race has such an expert, how can we continue to invade the Ten Nations Continent?
Bang!
Zhou Shu kicked Pixiu. Finally, Pixiu couldn't take the humiliation anymore. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.
Zhou Shu turned to glance at Demon King Ao, Tiangou, He Yuan, and the others, who were still looking around, and shouted, "Get lost!"
As he spoke, a mirror floated in front of him.
It was this mirror that sent Lord Pixiu flying just now! The expressions of Demon King Ao, Tiangou, and the rest changed. Without hesitation, they turned around and flew away.
Even Pixiu couldn't withstand it, so they didn't dare to test it themselves. It was better to escape as far as possible!
After the Demon Kings disappeared from sight, Zhou Shu looked down at Pixiu under his feet. "I spared your life because your grotto-heaven will collapse if you die. So if you want to live, you'd better earn your keep!"
While speaking, Zhou Shu raised the half of the Reincarnation Mirror in his hand!
702 Pixiu's Grotto-Heaven, You've All Been Kidnapped by Me (1)
Although there was only half of the Reincarnation Mirror, it was different from ordinary divine weapons. Half of the Reincarnation Mirror was not a remnant weapon but had complete functions.
When the Reincarnation Mirror was forged, it was divided into two Yin Yang Mirrors. When the two parts were combined, it was the complete Reincarnation Mirror. Even if they were separated, they were still relatively unique divine weapons, and their respective functions were unaffected.
The half of the Reincarnation Mirror that Zhou Shu had obtained was the Yang Mirror. The Yang Mirror mainly suppressed and controlled. One of its functions was to absorb a person's soul and control them!
Zhou Shu raised the half of the Reincarnation Mirror in his hand. From the mirror, a white light shone on Pixiu.
Following the white light, a phantom identical to Pixiu appeared on his body. The phantom followed the white light into the Reincarnation Mirror. Through the mirror, the phantom could be seen in a daze, standing there blankly.
The corners of Zhou Shu's mouth curled up slightly. It really works well!
As expected of a nine-heaven divine weapon, it can actually extract the soul of an expert like Pixiu. It's really impressive.
But this wouldn't last long. If his soul left his body for too long, even an expert like Pixiu would die.
Once he really died, his grotto-heaven would definitely collapse.
He was not a peak expert like Shi Changsheng, so his grotto-heaven wouldn't be able to survive for many years after his death.
Reincarnation Mirror, I'm counting on you! Zhou Shu thought. Open it!
He injected a stream of spiritual essence into the Reincarnation Mirror. The Reincarnation Mirror shook slightly, and Pixiu's body twitched as it glowed slightly.
In the light, Zhou Shu saw a scene rise from Pixiu's dantian. The shadow of a space was faintly discernible.
Zhou Shu had entered many spaces before, but this was the first time he had personally opened a 'living' grotto-heaven.
That's right. This grotto-heaven gave him the feeling that it was 'alive'.
Without any hesitation, Zhou Shu held the Reincarnation Mirror and stepped into the shadow.
Lights and shadows changed. Zhou Shu seemed to experience an endless universe and space-time before entering a space that was like a paradise.
This was completely different from when he had entered ownerless grotto-heavens.
To him, it was as if Pixiu was connected to the universe through his grotto-heaven, and his grotto-heaven was a world intercepted from the real world.
Zhou Shu was deep in thought. Could it be that the so-called grotto-heavens are not born from the bodies of martial artists?
Are these the spaces they stole from heaven and earth?
In that case, if there are enough Grotto-Heaven experts, wouldn't this world be cut apart by them?
Zhou Shu suddenly felt his hair stand on end. The Ten Nations Continent and the Demon Realm were vast, but no matter how big a territory was, how many Grotto-Heaven experts could it withstand?
One had to know that the grotto-heaven of a peak Grotto-Heaven expert was very spacious.
If Grotto-Heaven experts stole all the space of a land, what would be left behind?
Zhou Shu's back was already drenched in cold sweat. He couldn't imagine what would happen after this happened.
If it really happened, the Ten Nations Continent and the Demon Realm would probably no longer exist. What would be left were stolen grotto-heavens.
In that case, where would anyone live?
If he entered someone else's grotto-heaven, wouldn't he be at their mercy?
Fortunately, it's not that easy to reach the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm, Zhou Shu thought. He vaguely felt that there might be a huge secret when one reached the peak of the Grotto-Heaven realm.
But none of this was important now. The most important thing for him now was to resolve the matter of Pixiu first!
Looking around, Zhou Shu found that Pixiu's grotto-heaven was twice as big as Xiaoyu'er's.
The larger the grotto-heaven, the higher the cultivation of its owner. In other words, Pixiu's cultivation was actually stronger than that of the current Xiaoyu'er.
It was all thanks to the Reincarnation Mirror and the Dragon Binding Technique. If he had fought Pixiu otherwise, he would probably have lost.
But he couldn't use this method again. Although the Reincarnation Mirror was powerful, it consumed a lot of spiritual essence to drive it.
Just now, Zhou Shu had only used the Reincarnation Mirror to launch two attacks, but it had already exhausted his strength. If Pixiu had been on guard, it wouldn't have been a problem for him to withstand two attacks.
As for the Dragon Binding Technique, the biggest problem with it was that the casting speed was too slow. Unless he caught someone off guard, it was easy for experts to dodge it.
Pixiu is really…
Looking at Pixiu's grotto-heaven, only one word appeared in Zhou Shu's mind—Rich!
The huge grotto-heaven had been flattened into an open space by Pixiu. In the open space, it was densely packed with all kinds of heaven and earth treasures and divine weapons.
Even with Zhou Shu's proficiency in forging materials, he saw many things that he didn't recognize.
Pixiu was different from the experts he had encountered in the past. Previously, ordinary weapons were probably nothing to it. But in Pixiu's grotto-heaven, Zhou Shu saw at least a thousand divine weapons. These divine weapons ranged from the most ordinary connate divine weapons to heaven divine weapons with multiple heavens.
Not only were there divine weapons, but Zhou Shu also saw a place full of neatly stacked gold bars!
A Grotto-Heaven expert actually gathered gold?
Gold was not popular in the world of the strong at all.
Zhou Shu couldn't remember how long it had been since he had used gold. When he traded with others, he would directly exchange divine weapons for things.
Powerhouses didn't need gold or silver at all.
703 Pixiu's Grotto-Heaven, You've All Been Kidnapped by Me (2)
Not only was there gold in Pixiu's 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 didn't care about their value.
At least in Zhou Shu's opinion, a portion of the items in Pixiu's 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 Pixiu's.
If I use the forging materials in Pixiu's grotto-heaven to forge the Reincarnation Mirror, I should be able to forge one-fifth of it…
Are all these old farts so rich?
In comparison, Zhou Shu suddenly felt that he was still struggling while living in extreme poverty.
Pixiu's 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?
It's really incomparable. Zhou Shu smiled bitterly, but then he became happy again.
Now, everything in Pixiu's grotto-heaven was his!
Damn it. I wanted to take everything out and kill Pixiu, but there are so many things that I can't take them away at all.
Pixiu was now under his control. It wasn't 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 couldn't accept. In his opinion, Pixiu's life wasn't worth giving up so many good things.
I'll let you live a few more days.
Zhou Shu's figure changed as he left Pixiu's grotto-heaven. He kicked him.
"Shi Changsheng, what did you do to Lord Pixiu?" Suddenly, a loud shout sounded in Zhou Shu's 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 didn't dare to approach. His appearance made Zhou Shu laugh.
"You want to save him?" Zhou Shu stepped on Pixiu's chest. "Come on. Now is the time for you to express your loyalty. If you save him, his father might give you a huge reward."
"Let him go!" Demon King Ao clenched his fists, but he didn't approach. He shouted, "Since you know Lord Pixiu's background, how dare you treat him like that?! Aren't you afraid of death?!"
"Haha!" Zhou Shu laughed. "Demon King Ao, who gave you the confidence to speak like that in front of me? Even Pixiu's father wouldn't dare to speak to me like that."
He continued coldly, "I'll give you a chance. Kneel down now like a dog, and I'll spare your life."
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 Pixiu's.
If he was also captured by Shi Changsheng, wouldn't 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, "Shi Changsheng, just you wait! If you dare to hurt Lord Pixiu, I will definitely tear you into pieces!"
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 'Empty Fort Strategy' had scared him away. The number one Demon King of the Demon Realm was too embarrassing.
He didn't 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 wouldn't 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 didn't 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 Chuang's 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 Shu's 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 layman's 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 they've fallen into my hands, I have to make use of them, Zhou Shu thought. Doesn't your Demon Realm always want to invade the Ten Nations Continent? Then, I'll 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 couldn't help exclaiming, "King Zhou!"
"Shh…" Zhou Shu placed his index finger in front of his mouth.
Yao Buqi understood and corrected himself. "Shi Changsheng!"
"You're a promising young demonic beast." Zhou Shu nodded. "Yao Buqi, the opportunity I promised you has come."
"What?" Yao Buqi was stunned for a moment before he reacted and smiled bitterly. "In this situation, can I still become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm?"
Zhou Shu had made such a big commotion. He was already lucky enough to be alive.
He didn't even dare to think about becoming the Holy Son of the Demon Realm now.
"Of course. I've never failed to do what I want to do," Zhou Shu said confidently. "Now 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?"
Yao Buqi: "…"
Isn't 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?
"King Zhou, are you really going to kill them all?" Yao Buqi asked weakly.
"So what if I kill them? So what if I don't?" Zhou Shu said casually.
"No, I—" Yao Buqi hesitated.
"Of course I won't kill them," Zhou Shu continued. "It's a little wasteful to kill them. Yao Buqi, your chance is here. Leave the Demon Realm Ancestral Court now and go find Yao Qing's family. There are two things. First, let them support you as the Holy Son of the Demon Realm. I'm being good enough to you, right?"
Yao Buqi: "…"
Zhou Shu smiled. "Second, get them to send someone who keeps their word to negotiate with me and see what price they're willing to pay to redeem these demonic beasts."
704 Blackmailing Half the Demon Realm, Double Spy Yao Buqi (1)
"Redeem them?" Yao Buqi was shocked.
"Is there a problem?" Zhou Shu said indifferently. "Since I'm sparing their lives, shouldn't they pay a price? Do they want money more than their lives?"
Yao Buqi: "…"
You're demanding money for their lives?
!!
Do you know the identities of the demonic beasts you've captured?
Kidnapping them is equivalent to offending more than half of the Demon Realm's forces.
Are you really not afraid?
Yao Buqi opened his mouth, but he suddenly realized that Zhou Shu was not a demonic beast.
He was human!
He was already enemies with the Demon Realm. The entire Demon Realm was looking for his traces and wanted to encircle him.
Under such circumstances, it didn't seem to make any difference whether he offended those demonic beasts or not.
But for some reason, he felt awkward.
It felt a little crazy to kidnap the candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.
It was easy to kidnap them. But if he demanded money for their lives, he might survive to spend it.
"What? You're not willing to send a message? Or are you afraid that they'll think you're with me?" Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi. "It's fine if you're unwilling. I'll ask someone else. Perhaps Yao Qing or Sun Chuang will have the guts to do it."
Yao Buqi said, "I…"
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "King Zhou, why wouldn't I dare? I'm not stealing or robbing. I'm just sending a message. What can they do to me?"
Despite saying this, Yao Buqi knew that once he did as Zhou Shu said and sent a message, it would be easy to explain when he asked the demonic beasts to deliver the ransom. But if he asked them to support him as the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, even a fool would know that this matter had something to do with him.
At that time, even if he became the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, he would inevitably be punished later.
Zhou Shu had given him a huge problem.
But he couldn't refuse!
Their deal was that Zhou Shu would help him become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm. Now, Zhou Shu had given him a way to achieve it, and this method would definitely make him the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.
At the time, their agreement didn't say how long Yao Buqi could be the Holy Son of the Demon Realm!
Now, Yao Buqi felt like he had been tricked, but he still couldn't reason with Zhou Shu.
If he argued with Zhou Shu, he might get slapped to death by him.
He had seen how Pixiu, who had been extremely arrogant to Demon King Ao, Tiangou, and the others, had laid on the ground like a dead dog.
This was the outcome of being enemies with Zhou Shu!
Not even a Demon King could do it. How could he, Yao Buqi, have the ability?!
"King Zhou, how much ransom should I ask them to prepare?" Yao Buqi asked.
"Didn't I just say it? We still have to discuss the ransom. Get them to send people who can make the decision to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court to discuss it with me," Zhou Shu said.
"The Demon Realm Ancestral Court isn't bad. It's much more spacious than the Two Region Mountain. I want this place."
Yao Buqi's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide that a fist could fit inside.
King Zhou, are you sure you're not joking?
You're human, but you want to occupy our Demon Realm Ancestral Court?
"Uhh…" Yao Buqi was not a demonic beast with a sense of honor, and the dispute between humans and demonic beasts was not as important as his own interests.
But if the Demon Realm Ancestral Court fell into the hands of the human race, even Yao Buqi would feel humiliated.
This was the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, the origin of demonic beasts, the holy land in the hearts of all demonic beasts!
"Do you have a problem with it?" Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi.
"King Zhou, this isn't a matter of whether I have a problem with it," Yao Buqi said. "The Demon Realm Ancestral Court is the holy land of our Demon Realm. It won't be so easy to occupy."
"Isn't it easy? I don't see any demonic beasts here," Zhou Shu said calmly.
"Although there are no demonic beasts stationed here, as long as anyone dares to have designs on this place, all the demonic beasts in the entire Demon Realm will immediately gather," Yao Buqi said seriously.
"King Zhou, the human race became a presence in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, but there's no way you can compare to this place. At that time, all the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm will enter this place. No matter how high your cultivation is, it's impossible for you to guard this place."
There were more than a billion demonic beasts in the Demon Realm. In addition to the thirteen Demon Kings, there were also countless Great Demons and first-rank demonic beasts.
No matter how high Zhou Shu's cultivation was, it would be impossible for him to withstand the siege of so many demonic beasts.
Zhou Shu nodded. He agreed with Yao Buqi.
His greatest advantage, and that of the 30,000-strong alliance army in the Demon Realm, was their high mobility and the ability to change bases at any time.
This was their chance to survive in the Demon Realm.
If they really stationed themselves in one place and the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm found out, it would be the end for them.
It would be impossible for them to withstand the siege of the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm. Even Zhou Shu couldn't withstand it.
What he had just said was just a casual remark. He had no intention of really occupying the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. At least for now, he didn't have the ability.
Although he didn't have the ability to occupy the Demon Realm Ancestral Court for a long time, it wasn't a problem to use it to do something.
"You don't have to worry about anything else." Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi.
"You just have to do as I say and tell the clansmen of Yao Qing and the others to send demonic beasts with enough authority to negotiate. The rest has nothing to do with you.
"I will wait for them at the Demon Realm Ancestral Court."
Zhou Shu clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, his eyes as deep as the ocean.
