It was impossible to give up on these forging materials. If he really gave them up, Zhou Shu felt that his heart would ache for hundreds of years.
But if he took it away, even if he filled up all the Cosmic Bangles he had with him, how many kilograms could he take away?
Even if Zhang Chunlin and the others carried the forging materials on their shoulders, they wouldn’t be able to take much away.
Tens of millions of kilograms of forging materials could be piled up into a small mountain.
It was only because Hu Li was now a Demon King and had a lot of face that he could gather so many forging materials.
If it was Zhou Shu, who knew how many years it would take to accumulate so many forging materials?
Unfortunately, he didn’t have a heaven divine weapon with him now. Otherwise, even a one-heaven divine weapon could easily take away tens of millions of kilograms of forging materials.
As for now, he could only take as much as he could.
The Great Demons outside were wondering what he was doing, but he was hiding and busy forging Cosmic Bangles!
There were not many days left until Hu Li’s advancement ceremony. It was impossible to forge another divine weapon similar to the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
If he wanted to take away as many forging materials as possible, forging the Cosmic Bangles was the most cost-effective.
Not only was Zhou Shu forging, but Zhang Chunlin and the human captives also joined in.
Zhou Shu had taught Zhang Chunlin the forging process of the Cosmic Bangle and the assembly line so that they could forge as many Cosmic Bangles as possible even if they didn’t sleep or rest.
Not only that, but Zhou Shu also made use of the hundred or so demonic beasts in the Nine Heavens Nine Sections.
It had to be said that Ji Lutian was a great genius. The Nine Heavens Nine Sections he had trained could completely be used as skilled forgers.
They were even more skilled than Zhang Chunlin and the others.
Before Zhang Chunlin and the others could forge a Cosmic Bangle, the Nine Heavens Nine Sections had already successfully forged one.
They had few words, were hardworking, and didn’t even need pay. Zhou Shu was a little reluctant to return the Nine Heavens Nine Sections to Ji Lutian.
He was even wondering if he should trick the Nine Heavens Nine Sections into the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch.
But thinking about how sly Ji Lutian was, Zhou Shu gave up on this idea.
They were so obedient now because they thought that he was Yao Qing. If he regained his identity, they might not be so obedient anymore.
“Lord Yao Qing!” On this day, Yao Jun suddenly came to Zhou Shu’s seclusion and shouted from outside.
“What is it?” Zhou Shu’s voice sounded.
“Demon King Hu Li, asked me to invite you over,” Yao Jun said respectfully. “Some of the demons he invited are already here. They want to invite you to meet them, Lord Yao Qing.”
“Who is here? Didn’t I say not to disturb me before the ceremony officially begins?” Zhou Shu said angrily.
He was busy. For every one fewer Cosmic Bangle he forged, he would lose thousands of kilograms of forging materials. Who would be responsible for this loss?
“It’s mainly because Demon King Hu Li didn’t expect that two Demon Kings would arrive early. They want to see you, Lord Yao Qing.”
Yao Jun lowered his voice. “You also know that the Demon Kings are supreme existences in the Demon Realm. No one dares to refute them.
“That’s why I think you should go and meet them.”
“Are you trying to tell me what to do?” Zhou Shu said coldly. “So what if they’re Demon Kings? I don’t need to flatter them. Do I have to see them just because they want to see me?
“Tell them I won’t see them!
“In addition, tell Demon King Hu Li that I’m in seclusion. If he can’t give me a quiet place here, then I’m sorry, but I’ll have to take my leave. Ask him to find someone else for the advancement ceremony.”
Yao Jun’s expression changed slightly. He was impressed.?As expected of Lord Yao Qing.
With a mere first-rank cultivation, he dared to speak to a Demon King like that. Even Great Demons wouldn’t dare to do so.
But thinking about it, he could indeed afford to do so.
He was an existence that could allow Great Demons to advance to Demon Kings with a single sentence. Not only Demon King Hu Li, but Yao Aotian had also touched the threshold of breaking through. In time, two Demon Kings would owe him a huge favor.
If two Demon Kings owe me a huge favor, I can do whatever I want in the Demon Realm. What’s the point of cultivating??Yao Jun thought as he turned around to report to Hu Li.
…
“He’s a mere first-rank demonic beast! How dare he!”
In the residence of Hu Li, the place where he had lived before…
Hu Li planned to show the Demon King Place to the world during his advancement ceremony, so Zhou Shu kept it for the time being.
Regarding what Zhou Shu said, Hu Li deeply agreed.
“Even his mother wouldn’t dare to be so rude to me. How dare a child be so arrogant!” The one who spoke was a Demon King. When he heard that Zhou Shu refused to see him, his expression turned extremely ugly.
“I think that Nephew Yao Qing is being genuine.” Hu Li laughed. “We demonic beasts have to be domineering enough to fight to the death. So what if you’re Demon Kings? I’m not afraid!
“Hu Li, when you were still a first-rank demonic beast, you weren’t as domineering,” another Demon King said sinisterly.
“He dares to look down on Demon Kings just because he has some friendship with you. We must not allow this.” A sharp glint flashed across the Demon King’s eyes as he exuded a faint killing intent.
“What’s wrong? You want to cause trouble for Nephew Yao Qing? You have to ask me if I agree!” The aura of Hu Li erupted as he stared at the two Demon Kings without any fear.
“Hu Li, you are also a Demon King. How can you behave like that?”
The two Demon Kings opposite snorted.
“With our status, do you think we will make things difficult for a first-rank demonic beast?
“If we want to make things difficult for him, do you think you can stop us?
“We just want to help him. Since he’s so insensible, forget it.”
“Hmph, with me around, do you think Nephew Yao Qing needs your help?” Hu Li said coldly. “I’m also a Demon King now. You don’t have to put on airs in front of me. I’m not weaker than you now!”
“Is that so?”
The two Demon Kings looked at each other and laughed.
“Hu Li, you seem to have misunderstood something,” one of the Demon Kings said. “It’s true that you’re a Demon King, and we also admit that you’re now qualified to be on equal footing with us. But compared to us, your foundation is still a little lacking.
“I heard that you’ve been borrowing money everywhere recently and even forced Great Demons to dig for heaven and earth treasures everywhere. It’s a little embarrassing.
“If it were any of us, we wouldn’t be able to do such a thing. For us Demon Kings, if anything leaked out from our treasure vault, it would already surpass the collection that Great Demons had gathered for decades.
“To put it bluntly, you haven’t been a Demon King for long. You don’t have a foundation.”
The two Demon Kings shook their heads, looking like they were saying that he was still young and far inferior to them.
Hu Li wasn’t angry. He looked at the two Demon Kings as if they were fools.
“Say, do you know why I’m borrowing money everywhere and letting Great Demons mine everywhere?” Hu Li said proudly.
“What else could it be? It’s just that you’ve never seen the world. When a poor demon becomes rich, you can’t wait to take advantage of it…” the other Demon King said disdainfully.
“I haven’t seen the world?” Hu Li sneered. “I’m afraid you’ll be scared if I say it. None of you have seen what I have seen.”
“Haha…” The two Demon Kings laughed.
“Hu Li, you might not be capable, but you’re very arrogant.
“Tell us. What is there that we haven’t seen?”
“Have you seen the Demon King Palace? The real Demon King Palace!” Hu Li said confidently.
