681 Entering the Demon King Ao Dream, Chess Piece or Chess Player (2)
Demon King Ao couldn’t move and could only passively take the beating.
Soon, Zhou Shu beat him up badly. Although Zhou Shu didn’t use his full strength, it was only because Demon King Ao’s cultivation level was high enough and his demonic beast body was strong enough that he didn’t die under Zhou Shu’s punches and kicks.
Although he wasn’t dead now, it was worse than death. He lay there on his back, his heart dead.
After beating up Demon King Ao, Zhou Shu felt the discomfort after using the Zhuang Zhou Butterfly Dream Technique lessen greatly.
It seemed that other than cultivating the God of War Catalog with Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang, beating people up was also a good way to vent.
“Demon King Ao, you sure know how to enjoy yourself!” Zhou Shu snorted.
This bastard Demon King Ao was even more outrageous than Shi Songtao. As a Demon King, he almost couldn’t live without a woman. At the worst, he even did the act with dozens of demonesses!
In the hundred years that he was in the Demon King Ao dream, Zhou Shu knew at least hundreds of demonesses like the back of his hand…
Fortunately, these demonesses were no different from humans after transforming into human form. Otherwise, Zhou Shu felt that he would have been traumatized.
Therefore, after he woke up, the first thing he did was to beat up Demon King Ao. Can’t this bastard do something serious?
Of course, this wasn’t important to Zhou Shu. The most important thing was that he had entered the Demon King Ao dream for a hundred years and obtained the information he wanted to know.
So, that’s where the Demon Realm Ancestral Court is.
After beating up Demon King Ao, Zhou Shu ignored him and fell into deep thought.
The reason he entered the Demon King Ao dream this time was to find out the location of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
He had promised Yao Buqi that he would help him become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm. The selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm would be held at the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. If he didn’t even know where the Demon Realm Ancestral Court was, how was he going to fulfill his promise?
Zhou Shu didn’t tell Yao Buqi about his plan. He wanted to transform into Demon King Ao and go to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
Demon King Ao was one of the judges for the selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm. If he still couldn’t help Yao Buqi become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, then Yao Buqi would be too useless.
Of course, he still faced a problem even after transforming into Demon King Ao and entering the Demon Realm Ancestral Court: the Demon Mirror.
Ever since Zhou Shu transformed into Liu’Er, the first thing the Demon Kings of the Demon Realm did when they met was to shine their Demon Mirrors on each other.
Demon King Ao was no exception.
Zhou Shu’s divine ability Myriad Transformations was not omnipotent. It couldn’t hide from the Demon Mirror. He had captured Demon King Ao and turned him into Hu Li in order to deal with the tests of the other Demon Kings when they entered the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
But Zhou Shu didn’t expect that when he entered the Demon King Ao dream, he would obtain a huge secret!
An Earth Immortal expert like Zheng Yongtai appeared in the Ten Nations Continent. I was wondering if there were also hidden experts in the Demon Realm, Zhou Shu thought. As expected, Demon King Ao is not worthy of his reputation!
In the hundred years that he had been in the Demon King Ao dream, Zhou Shu had seen a demonic beast with a cultivation far above Demon King Ao’s.
I wonder what happened. These experts who never appeared before all appeared suddenly.
Zhou Shu frowned. According to what he had seen in the dream, this demonic beast was terrifyingly powerful. If Zhou Shu encountered him now, he would probably not be his match.
In fact, with Zhou Shu’s current cultivation, he might not even be able to defeat Demon King Ao.
The reason he was able to capture Demon King Ao alive was that, first, the Dragon Binding Technique was too targeted, and second, his timing was too good. At the time, Demon King Ao had just fought with Hu Li and was in a weakened state.
Is it because they think the barrier between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations is about to shatter? A thought appeared in Zhou Shu’s mind.
Previously, the barrier between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent had already been damaged. Later, Zhou Shu had temporarily blocked the gap with Great Wei’s imperial cauldron, which he had obtained from Emperor Wei Wu.
But it was undeniable that this was only a temporary measure. Moreover, Zhou Shu knew that one of the Ten Imperial Cauldrons was already damaged. It wouldn’t last long.
Once it shattered, the barrier between the Ten Nations Continent and the Demon Realm would shatter.
If this is why these experts are appearing, what will happen after the barrier between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent shatters?
Zhou Shu pondered for a long time. Someone should be behind this matter. Now, it seems that it might not be a coincidence that Ji Lutian used the excuse of helping the Great Qin emperor improve his cultivation and caused Great Qin’s imperial cauldron to be damaged.
Zhou Shu snorted. There was one person involved in all of this—Ji Lutian!
If not for Ji Lutian, Great Qin’s imperial cauldron would not have been damaged. Back then, no Great Demon could enter the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, and Emperor Wei Wu wouldn’t have had the chance to open a gap.
If none of this had happened, Zhou Shu and the others wouldn’t have been forced to come to the Demon Realm.
As for the hidden experts, they might not have appeared one by one.
Is Ji Lutian a chess piece or a chess player?
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Shu stood up, grabbed Demon King Ao’s collar again, and disappeared.
…
“Tiangou, why isn’t Demon King Ao here yet?”
Somewhere in the Demon Realm, a Demon King spoke impatiently.
“Hmph, you’re asking me, but who should I ask?” Tiangou snorted. During this period of time, because they were afraid of being found by the mysterious pair of giant hands, the various Demon Kings had hidden in their cave abodes and didn’t dare to come out.
If not for the fact that the selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm was held at the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, these Demon Kings might not have dared to appear.
After all, the pair of giant hands could even defeat Demon King Ao, so they were definitely not its match. At that time, they would end up like Demon King Ao. Even if they didn’t die, they would lose face.
“Do you think we should do something about the strange things happening in the Demon Realm recently?” A relatively gentle Demon King was worried that Tiangou would quarrel with another Demon King and changed the topic.
“What do you want to do?” Tiangou said coldly.
“To invite that lord out of seclusion…” the Demon King whispered.
The pupils of the Demon Kings suddenly constricted, and their expressions changed. They said solemnly, “Are you crazy?”
“Think about it. If those giant hands appear again, which of us will be his match? This time, he didn’t kill Demon King Ao. Who can guarantee that he won’t kill next time?” the Demon King said.
“Everyone, this concerns our lives. It wasn’t easy for us to cultivate to the Demon King realm. Are you willing to die just like that?”
“It’s not a matter of whether we’re willing or not—” Tiangou said.
“I understand. That lord doesn’t have a good temper, but we can use Tushan and Liu’Er’s disappearance as an excuse. The two of them might have already been killed by the mysterious giant hands,” the Demon King said.
The expressions of the Demon Kings changed slightly. This was a good excuse.
“Demon King He Yuan, good idea.” A voice suddenly sounded. Demon King Ao descended from the sky and landed not far from the Demon Kings. He was carrying a person in his hand. It was Hu Li.
Demon King Ao looked at the Demon King who had spoken and said coldly, “After the selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm is over, He Yuan, make a trip and invite that lord out of seclusion.”
“Me?” He Yuan’s expression changed.
“You came up with the idea. If you don’t go, who will?” Demon King Ao said.
“Demon King Ao, there’s no hurry. You should verify your identity first,” Tiangou suddenly said.
“I don’t need you to say anything. I already know!”
As he spoke, a Demon Mirror appeared in Demon King Ao’s hand. The mirror flashed, and the shadow of a flood dragon appeared in the mirror.
Only then did the Demon Kings heave a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was really Demon King Ao.
Tiangou’s gaze landed on Hu Li in Demon King Ao’s hand. “Demon King Ao, you caught Hu Li? Why did you bring him here?”
