Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi, waiting for him to explain.
Zhou Shu didn’t care about cooperating with him.
Even without Yao Buqi’s 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 couldn’t demonic beasts betray the Demon Realm?
“I can prove it. If you come with me there, you’ll believe me,” Yao Buqi said.
“Yao Buqi, do you think I’m a fool?” Zhou Shu smiled faintly.
“Do you think I’ll just follow you to the place you mentioned? If you set up a trap with demonic beasts there, wouldn’t I be walking right into a trap?
“Although I’m not afraid, it will make me look stupid.”
“It’s true!” Yao Buqi explained. “King Zhou, this isn’t our first time dealing with each other. I know your ability better than any demonic beast.
“One Demon King might not even be enough to kill you. Do you think I have the ability to mobilize three or more Demon Kings?
“If I really had that ability, why would I take this risk?
“King Zhou, the hierarchy in the Demon Realm is strict. I’m taking the risk to seek cooperation with you just to climb up and obtain more cultivation resources.
“I really don’t have the ability to deal with you.”
Zhou Shu snorted. “Just because you don’t have the ability, it doesn’t mean you are not thinking about it.”
“If I said I don’t want to go against you, wouldn’t I be lying to myself?” Yao Buqi said sincerely. “It’s 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.”
“You’re quite honest.” Zhou Shu nodded.
“Since we’re going to cooperate, we naturally have to be honest with each other.”
Yao Buqi said solemnly, “King 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!”
“You might not be able to break through to the Demon King realm anyway.” 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 didn’t have much of a restraining effect.
Of course, Zhou Shu didn’t believe him either.
“If that’s all you have to say, then please leave,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “Since you did well on the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, I won’t kill you this time.
“But 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!
“Please believe that I can do it. Even if you have Demon Kings protecting you, if I want to kill you, you will definitely die!”
Zhou Shu’s eyes shone brightly.
Yao Buqi felt a chill run down his spine, and he quickly shook his head. “No, I would never do that!”
Yao Buqi didn’t leave. Instead, he insisted “But King Zhou, I have another idea! If you’re worried that I’ll collude with the Demon Kings to plot against you, you don’t have to go personally.
“All you have to do is send someone to my territory with me to understand that I’m not lying.”
Yao Buqi glanced outside the door and continued, “King 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.”
Yao Buqi emphasized the safety of his territory again.
Zhou Shu actually didn’t 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 couldn’t go.
Why would a Demon King need the permission of a mere first-rank demonic beast to enter his territory?
Even if Yao Buqi’s father was a Demon King, this was impossible!
Yao Buqi continued, “King Zhou, you should know that I will never dare to attack your people. If anything happens to the person you send, won’t you kill me for revenge? I will never joke around with my life.”
It was obvious that he really wanted to cooperate with Zhou Shu. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so anxious.
Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi and pondered for a moment before saying, “I’ll give you a chance.”
He said indifferently, “Aotian.”
Yin Chengshan answered from outside the door. “Here!”
“Follow Yao Buqi,” Zhou Shu said. “Bring your brains with you. Look more and say less. If Yao Buqi wants to kill you, you don’t have to fight back. Just let him kill you.
“If you die, I will make Yao Buqi and his entire clan die with you.”
Zhou Shu’s tone was calm, but Yao Buqi felt a chill run down his spine.
Others didn’t 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.
