Emperor Wei Wu seemed to have no emotional fluctuations as he continued in his hoarse and unpleasant voice, “I thought you were Ji Lutian’s son and should have inherited some of his intelligence. It turns out that you’re just an ordinary person.
“With a few words of reason you heard from your father, you coincidentally helped Demon King Hu Li. Do you really think you have reached that realm?
“Yao Qing, I can understand that you’re young and impetuous, and I won’t hold it against you.”
Emperor Wei Wu continued, “But if you want to become stronger, you have to face yourself and reality.
“If you don’t even have this bit of courage, then don’t even think about proving yourself in the Demon Realm. With your parents protecting you, you can just be a second-generation demonic beast who waits to die.”
Emperor Wei Wu’s tone was full of disdain.
If he was facing the real Yao Qing, then this provocation would have definitely been useful.
But the person in front of him was not Yao Qing at all.
Therefore, Zhou Shu didn’t feel anything.
But Zhou Shu also understood that becoming stronger, defeating Yao Wudi, and becoming the number one person in his generation had always been Yao Qing’s obsession.
As a human-demon hybrid, although not many demonic beasts discriminated against Yao Qing because of his mother’s strength, the demonic beasts called him a human-demon behind his back.
Yao Qing knew this himself, which was why he had always wanted to prove himself.
Only by becoming stronger could he make all the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm value his existence and make all the demonic beasts not dare to call him a human-demon!
In order not to reveal any flaws, Zhou Shu revealed a furious expression. “Are you courting death?”
“Will killing me make you stronger?” Emperor Wei Wu asked back. “It’s not a good habit to be emotional. If you want to become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, you have to learn to control your emotions.”
“Who do you think you are?! Who are you to lecture me?!” Zhou Shu shouted coldly. He imitated Yao Qing’s tone and continued, “If you say such nonsense again, don’t blame me for kicking you out.”
“Now, you look like the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.” Emperor Wei Wu nodded. “No more nonsense. Take this.”
He raised his right hand, and a black light shot toward Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu reached out and caught it. He didn’t feel much strength in his hand. It was obvious that Emperor Wei Wu had no other intentions.
Looking down at his palm, he saw something the size of a baby’s palm.
This thing was completely golden and crystalline, and there seemed to be a small golden snake sealed inside.
“Demon King Ao’s Martial Dao comprehension is sealed inside,” Emperor Wei Wu said. “Crush it, and you will have a chance to comprehend Demon King Ao’s Martial Dao.
“As long as you comprehend a little, breaking through to the Great Demon realm won’t be a problem.”
“This is only my sincerity, and it’s not included in the reward,” Emperor Wei Wu continued. “After this matter is done, I naturally have other ways to let you defeat Yao Wudi and become the new Holy Son of the Demon Realm.”
Emperor Wei Wu spoke with confidence. Just from his tone, Zhou Shu felt that he could do it.
“What do you want me to do for you?” Zhou Shu frowned. Demon King Ao’s Martial Dao comprehension was absolutely priceless to any demonic beast.
And this was just sincerity?
What did Emperor Wei Wu want Yao Qing to do?
He couldn’t think of anything that was worth Emperor Wei Wu paying such a huge price to a first-rank demonic beast.
Emperor Wei Wu seemed to have expected Zhou Shu to ask this question. He nodded slightly and said, “It’s not difficult. You just need to accompany me to a place.”
“Impossible,” Zhou Shu said straightforwardly. “I’m helping Demon King Hu Li build the Demon King Palace. I won’t leave this place.
“If you want me to leave this place, then let’s not talk about anything else. Take this back.”
Without hesitation, Zhou Shu threw back the amber-like object in his hand to Emperor Wei Wu.
Emperor Wei Wu reached out to receive it and said in surprise, “This matter won’t take up too much of your time.”
“Whether it takes up my time or not is not up to you. It’s up to me.” Zhou Shu shook his head.
“Please.” With that, Zhou Shu opened the door to send the guest off.
“Wait!” Emperor Wei Wu said. “It’s fine if you don’t leave this place. Keep it. I’ll do as I promised. I only want three drops of your blood essence!”
Zhou Shu didn’t say anything as he stared at Emperor Wei Wu.
After a long while, he slowly said, “I don’t know who you are, and I don’t care what relationship you have with Demon King Ao. Now, get out of here immediately. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that you will leave here alive!”
Zhou Shu’s killing intent surged, and his aura exploded.
Of course, he was imitating Yao Qing now and only erupted with the aura of a first-rank martial artist.
The blood essence mentioned by Emperor Wei Wu was not ordinary blood. This blood essence was very important to demonic beasts. Not to mention three drops, even one drop would greatly damage the demonic beast’s vital qi.
If the real Yao Qing was here, he would have the same reaction when he heard what Emperor Wei Wu said.
Any demonic beast would have this reaction when they heard that someone wanted their blood essence.
“Don’t get agitated,” Emperor Wei Wu said. “I just said that if you’re willing to follow me, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. But since you’re unwilling to go, then I have a way to get a substitute with your blood essence…”
Zhou Shu’s heart stirred as he thought of Emperor Wei Wu and Great Wei’s Imperial Preceptor Xiao Shunzhi coming back from the dead.
Could it be related to this?
He wanted to see how Emperor Wei Wu would use Yao Qing’s blood essence to make a substitute. But he wasn’t Yao Qing after all. How could he give him Yao Qing’s blood essence?
If it was his own blood essence, then the substitute created by Emperor Wei Wu would not be Yao Qing…
“There’s no room for discussion.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Let alone Demon King Ao’s Martial Dao comprehension, even if you ask him to take me in as his disciple, there’s no room for discussion!”
“Although three drops of blood essence are important, with your cultivation, you will be able to replenish them very quickly,” Emperor Wei Wu said. “This won’t affect you much—”
“Get lost!” Zhou Shu shouted angrily.
Before he could finish speaking, a figure rushed in from outside. It was Yin Chengshan, who was disguised as Yao Aotian.
Upon seeing Yin Chengshan, Emperor Wei Wu seemed to take half a step back in fear.
After all, on the surface, Yao Aotian was a Great Demon only half a step away from the Demon King realm.
“Let’s talk it over!” Emperor Wei Wu said.
“I have nothing to say to people who have ulterior motives. If you don’t leave now, you’ll never be able to leave again!” Zhou Shu said coldly. “You have Demon King Ao behind you, and I also have Demon King Hu Li behind me. I don’t believe that Demon King Ao will avenge you if I kill you.”
Emperor Wei Wu trembled, seemingly extremely angry.
But in the end, he endured it.
“Yao Qing, how can you achieve anything by being so impulsive? I was wrong about you!” Emperor Wei Wu said.
“It’s not your concern whether I can achieve anything great,” Zhou Shu said coldly.
Emperor Wei Wu’s aura fluctuated violently. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I’ll tell you the truth. Ask him to leave first!”
Emperor Wei Wu glanced at Yao Aotian.
Zhou Shu sneered and waved his hand. Yin Chengshan stared at Emperor Wei Wu and stepped back out of the cave.
“You’d better not waste my time. It won’t be good for you or me.” Zhou Shu said.
“Don’t worry. I won’t threaten you with Demon King Ao.” Emperor Wei Wu snorted. “What I want you to do is help me open a secret vault.”
“What does that have to do with my blood essence?” Zhou Shu said coldly.
“That secret chamber can only be opened by a human-demon hybrid,” Emperor Wei Wu said coldly. “Now, in the entire Demon Realm, you are the only human-demon hybrid!”
