Chapter 710 - 710 Where Did The Treasures Go? Internal Strife in the Demon Realm (1)
After a brief moment of doubt, he felt a surge of shame.
To be surrounded by demonic beasts in his current state…
Suddenly, he saw a demonic beast walk out from the group of demonic beasts on the other side. This demonic beast was abnormally eye-catching among the demonic beasts.
The reason why he was so eye-catching was not because of how outstanding the demonic beast was.
It was because he was too weak…
It was really impossible not to notice a first-rank demonic beast among the senior Great Demons.
Zhou Shu naturally noticed. “You’re one of his people?”
He frowned. “Aren’t you taking this too lightly? You actually sent a first-rank demonic beast over. Do you think you’re qualified to negotiate with me?
“Since you don’t take it seriously, he can go to hell.”
Zhou Shu snorted coldly. The light shield in the air began to shrink at a visible speed.
Although the light barrier only looked like a thin layer, no one doubted that it could squeeze Yao Qing into a ball of meat.
“Lord, wait!” the first-rank demonic beast shouted. “My master asked me to come on his behalf because he has something important to do and can’t get away. My master said that as long as we hand this to you, you will definitely understand!”
While shouting, the first-rank demonic beast took out something from his pocket.
Zhou Shu’s gaze landed on Yao Yi’s hand.
That’s right. This first-rank demonic beast was Yao Yi, who Ji Lutian had sent to Hu Li’s territory to help him forge.
Zhou Shu didn’t expect Ji Lutian and his wife to send only Yao Yi over to redeem their only son.
The representatives of the other races were at least at the peak of the Great Demon realm.
Zhou Shu looked curiously at what Yao Yi had taken out. He was curious about what Ji Lutian was up to.
What Yao Yi took out from his pocket wasn’t anything impressive. It was a palm-sized brocade pouch.
Yao Yi held the brocade pouch with both hands and handed it over respectfully. “Lord…”
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows. It had been a long time since he had seen a brocade pouch.
He raised his hand and grabbed it. The brocade pouch flew into his hand.
He carefully wrapped his hands with spiritual essence before opening the brocade pouch.
There was nothing magical about the brocade pouch. After opening it, Zhou Shu pulled out a piece of white paper.
On the white paper, a large word was written in a flamboyant manner.
“Live!”
The word was written very beautifully. After a glance, Zhou Shu felt a special scenery rushing toward him.
For a moment, he seemed to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and the merciless, endless sounds of battle assaulted him. His vision was red, and he couldn’t even tell which direction the sounds of battle came from.
It was as if there were enemies in all directions, but there were no enemies in front of him.
The next moment, Zhou Shu trembled and regained consciousness.
In just a moment, he broke out in a cold sweat.
He looked grimly at the word on the white paper.
There was no killing intent in the word. Ji Lutian was only using it to send a message.
Zhou Shu received this message, but he didn’t understand it!
That should be a battlefield. Mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Where exactly is it?
He frowned. He didn’t understand the message Ji Lutian sent because he wasn’t the real Shi Changsheng!
Ji Lutian wanted to send a message to Shi Changsheng through this word. He should be certain that after Shi Changsheng saw it, he would understand the meaning and let Yao Qing go.
But Ji Lutian probably didn’t expect that this Shi Changsheng was fake.
“Lord…” Yao Yi said nervously.
He was really uneasy facing an expert who could possibly be even stronger than a Demon King.
Under normal circumstances, a mere first-rank demonic beast like him wasn’t qualified to come into contact with such an expert.
Zhou Shu’s gaze landed on Yao Yi. He could clearly sense Yao Yi’s body trembling slightly.
Zhou Shu pondered. What if I pretend to understand and let Yao Qing go?
Or should I just ignore it?
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Shu slowly said, “What about the ransom?”
Who cares? I’m not Shi Changsheng. Ji Lutian wants to save Yao Qing with just one word? Dream on.
The other demonic beasts had brought so many good things.
“Huh?” Yao Yi looked surprised. “Lord, didn’t my master give it to you…”
He pointed at the brocade pouch in Zhou Shu’s hand.
“You want to redeem him with just this?” Zhou Shu flicked his wrist, and a flame shot out. The piece of paper burned. A moment later, it turned into ashes and dissipated in the wind.
Yao Yi’s expression froze, and his eyes were full of panic.
“If there’s no ransom, then you can get lost. His life is mine,” Zhou Shu said coldly.
The light barrier wrapped around Yao Qing slowly moved toward Zhou Shu.
“Lord, wait,” Yao Yi said anxiously. “Please give me more time. I’ll go back and report to my master immediately!”
“There’s only one chance. Since you didn’t take it, there won’t be another,” Zhou Shu said coldly.
“Giving you a second chance is unfair to these demonic beasts who paid the ransom.
“Go back and tell your master to prepare for the funeral.
