“It’s my fate…”
“Heaven-defying…”
“Yao Ritian is indeed powerful…”
“Yao Jun, quick, let me in to meet Yao Qing. I brought a lot of good things this time!”
“I’ll go first. My things are more precious!”
The Great Demons rushed excitedly toward the cave, drowning Yao Jun, who was blocking the door.
In the cave, Zhou Shu put all the heaven and earth treasures on the table into a Cosmic Bangle and secretly rejoiced for a while.
Although the things these Great Demons brought were not a lot, their value was definitely not low.
Zhou Shu didn’t expect that he would be able to gain so many benefits with only one day left.
One couldn’t be rich without a windfall.
After this, he felt that he wouldn’t have to worry about forging materials for a long time.
He was truly becoming rich overnight.
In just a few short months, the forging materials that he had accumulated were already comparable to Great Xia’s accumulation for hundreds of years.
It was no surprise. More than ten Great Demons and an army of millions of demonic beasts helped him mine.
Now, there were countless Great Demons and first-rank demonic beasts who had come to him with treasures to change their names.
If he was given a few more years, Zhou Shu felt that he could take away more than half of the wealth of the Demon Realm.
But he didn’t have that much time.
It was a coincidence that he gained so much this time. It was all thanks to Hu Li.
If not for the excuse of Hu Li’s advancement ceremony, it would have been impossible for him to order so many demonic beasts to mine.
The ceremony was about to begin, so there would naturally be no more opportunities.
After the ceremony, regardless of whether his identity was exposed or not, Zhou Shu wouldn’t stay here for long. Now, the Demon Kings had already begun to scheme against him. If he stayed any longer, he didn’t know what would happen.
It’s almost time.?Zhou Shu looked at the time. Hu Li’s advancement ceremony was about to start. Unfortunately, there were so many leeks outside the door that he didn’t have time to harvest.
His heart stirred as he sent a voice transmission to Yao Jun.
Yao Jun, who was outside the door, was slightly stunned before he raised his voice and shouted, “Everyone, be quiet! Lord Yao Qing has orders!”
The demonic beasts fell silent.
Yao Jun continued, “Lord Yao Qing said that Demon King Hu Li’s advancement ceremony is about to begin. He still has to rush over to celebrate, so he doesn’t have time to guide everyone anymore.”
“Don’t, Nephew Yao Qing. It wasn’t easy for us to get here.”
“That’s right, Lord Yao Qing. Our treasures are as good as Yao Ritian’s. We brought all our wealth over this time!”
“Silence, all of you! Anyone who makes any more noise will be disqualified!” Yao Jun shouted. “Lord Yao Qing only said that he doesn’t have time now. He didn’t say that he wouldn’t have time in the future!
“If any of you want to ask Lord Yao Qing for guidance, you can register with me first.
“After Demon King Hu Li’s advancement ceremony is over, Lord Yao Qing will receive you according to the order of registration. At that time, you can ask for any guidance you want.”
“I’ll go first!” A Great Demon jumped out before Yao Jun could finish speaking. “It’s just a small gift. Please help me give it to Nephew Yao Qing.”
The Great Demon handed over a void beast with both hands.
“I want to register too!”
“Me first!”
“Me first!”
The scene was in chaos. The demonic beasts stuffed the treasures they brought into Yao Jun’s arms.
Yao Jun had never thought that there would be a day when heaven and earth treasures would drown him.
Through the thick stone door, Zhou Shu heard the commotion outside, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
It was right to kill the wrong rather than let it go. This round was definitely profitable!
He smiled and turned to walk toward the other exit of the cave. Next, it was time to finish the last scene.
…
On a not-too-tall mountain peak in Hu Li’s territory, the mountain peak seemed to have been flattened. Half the venue was full of stone tables and chairs, while the other half was empty.
“Hu Li, is this your advancement ceremony? I thought you could come up with something decent, but that’s it?”
It was Demon King Liu’Er who spoke with disdain.
Previously, Hu Li had bragged in front of him. He thought that he was going to do something big. In the end…
“Don’t worry. I’ll give you an eye-opener,” Hu Li said indifferently.
Then he said meaningfully, “Tiangou, Liu’Er, take it easy later. If you really hurt Yao Qing, I won’t let you off!”
“Do you think we’re afraid of you?” Liu’Er said disdainfully.
Tiangou glared at Liu’Er and turned to Hu Li. “Don’t worry. With our status, we won’t accidentally injure a first-rank demonic beast.
“We only want to force out the mastermind behind Tushan’s disappearance, not kill a first-rank demonic beast.”
“You make it sound nice.” Hu Li snorted coldly. “Who knows what you’re up to! Those are all your guesses. You don’t even know if something really happened to Tushan!”
“That’s right. We truly don’t have any evidence.” Tiangou didn’t deny it. “But Yao Qing’s identity is special. There’s no harm in using him. There’s no loss anyway.”
“Nonsense!” Hu Li said angrily. “You’re not taking Nephew Yao Qing’s life seriously!”
“Hu Li, this is my decision. It has nothing to do with them.” A voice suddenly sounded. “If you have any resentment, come at me.”
Before the voice finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared not far from Hu Li.
The figure was nine feet tall and burly. He was wearing brocade clothes that looked like dragon robes and a flat crown on his head.
He didn’t dress like a demonic beast but like an emperor of the human race.
“Demon King Ao!” Hu Li’s expression changed slightly before he cupped his hands and bowed.
Liu’Er, Tiangou, and the other Demon Kings who had arrived first also stood up and bowed to this person.
This man was the number one Demon King of the Demon Realm, Demon King Ao!
Demon King Ao had a square face and a dignified appearance. His eyes were completely different from other demonic beasts. They were not red but golden. It made people dizzy just by looking at them.
“Hu Li, getting Yao Qing to be bait was my decision.” Demon King Ao’s gaze landed on Hu Li. “His identity is special. Only he can be the bait.
“I can tell you that one of my subordinates was killed not long ago,” he said solemnly. “It’s the one you saw at my place last time. Before he was killed, he was investigating the Demon Ancestor’s secret chamber. Legend has it that only human-demon mixed-bloods can enter the Demon Ancestor’s secret chamber.
“I suspect that his murder and Tushan’s disappearance were done by the same person. In that case, Yao Qing should be very useful to him.
“Now, do you have any other questions?”
Demon King Ao looked at Hu Li. If Hu Li wasn’t a Demon King now, Demon King Ao wouldn’t have explained so much.
But since Hu Li was already a Demon King, his vassal, and had his own army, he couldn’t let him have any resentment.
Demon King Ao naturally started from the thoughts of a superior.
After hearing Demon King Ao’s explanation, Hu Li finally came to a realization.
“I see. I understand. Don’t worry, Demon King Ao. I’ll definitely cooperate fully!” Hu Li said seriously.
“In that case, call Yao Qing out. Your ceremony can begin now. With your commotion, anyone in the Demon Realm will probably know. You can lure out the mastermind.” Demon King Ao waved his hand indifferently.
“Alright!” Hu Li said loudly. Then he let out a long roar.
