703 Pixiu’s Grotto-Heaven, You’ve All Been Kidnapped by Me (2)
Not only was there gold in Pixiu’s grotto-heaven, but there were also various other mortal treasures such as pearls, coral, amber, jade, and so on. These things were beautiful, but at the same time, they were not very useful to experts.
Pixiu seemed to collect them purely for the sake of collecting and didn’t care about their value.
At least in Zhou Shu’s opinion, a portion of the items in Pixiu’s Grotto-Heaven was not very valuable.
Even so, the value of the remaining portion was immeasurable!
Zhou Shu immediately felt that he and his big brother, who owned a mine, were inferior to Pixiu.
Compared to Pixiu, the two of them were like country bumpkins in the countryside. The forging materials they had painstakingly earned were not even 1% of Pixiu’s.
If I use the forging materials in Pixiu’s grotto-heaven to forge the Reincarnation Mirror, I should be able to forge one-fifth of it…
Are all these old farts so rich?
In comparison, Zhou Shu suddenly felt that he was still struggling while living in extreme poverty.
Pixiu’s collection already made him feel that he would never be able to catch up, yet it was not even enough to forge a Reincarnation Mirror.
Back then, the Demon Ancestor had forged the Reincarnation Mirror. How rich was she?
It’s really incomparable. Zhou Shu smiled bitterly, but then he became happy again.
Now, everything in Pixiu’s grotto-heaven was his!
Damn it. I wanted to take everything out and kill Pixiu, but there are so many things that I can’t take them away at all.
Pixiu was now under his control. It wasn’t difficult for him to kill him, but once he died, his grotto-heaven would disappear, and the things inside would no longer exist.
This was an outcome that Zhou Shu couldn’t accept. In his opinion, Pixiu’s life wasn’t worth giving up so many good things.
I’ll let you live a few more days.
Zhou Shu’s figure changed as he left Pixiu’s grotto-heaven. He kicked him.
“Shi Changsheng, what did you do to Lord Pixiu?” Suddenly, a loud shout sounded in Zhou Shu’s ear.
He looked up and saw Demon King Ao standing several kilometers away, staring at him angrily.
Demon King Ao had a fierce expression on his face, but he was hiding several kilometers away and didn’t dare to approach. His appearance made Zhou Shu laugh.
“You want to save him?” Zhou Shu stepped on Pixiu’s chest. “Come on. Now is the time for you to express your loyalty. If you save him, his father might give you a huge reward.”
“Let him go!” Demon King Ao clenched his fists, but he didn’t approach. He shouted, “Since you know Lord Pixiu’s background, how dare you treat him like that?! Aren’t you afraid of death?!”
“Haha!” Zhou Shu laughed. “Demon King Ao, who gave you the confidence to speak like that in front of me? Even Pixiu’s father wouldn’t dare to speak to me like that.”
He continued coldly, “I’ll give you a chance. Kneel down now like a dog, and I’ll spare your life.”
Demon King Ao was furious, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
He glared at Shi Changsheng. If looks could kill, he would have already killed Shi Changsheng a thousand times.
But when he thought of how he had been bound by Shi Changsheng, his courage immediately disappeared.
Even Pixiu had been captured alive by Shi Changsheng. His cultivation and strength were inferior to Pixiu’s.
If he was also captured by Shi Changsheng, wouldn’t no one be able to report it?
If no one reported it, how could he save Pixiu?
Demon King Ao found a perfect excuse for himself. He glared at Shi Changsheng and shouted, “Shi Changsheng, just you wait! If you dare to hurt Lord Pixiu, I will definitely tear you into pieces!”
With that, he turned around and ran. Afraid that Shi Changsheng would chase after him, he even used a secret technique and ran out of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court as quickly as possible, regardless of the consumption of his spiritual essence.
As Zhou Shu looked at Demon King Ao fleeing in a sorry state, a smile appeared on his face.
It seemed that Demon King Ao was scared out of his wits. His ‘Empty Fort Strategy’ had scared him away. The number one Demon King of the Demon Realm was too embarrassing.
He didn’t know that Zhou Shu was only putting on an empty front. He had just activated the Reincarnation Mirror to attack Pixiu, so he had exhausted all his spiritual essence. Up until now, he had only recovered a portion.
If Demon King Ao had really attacked, Zhou Shu wouldn’t have been able to stop him. If anything went wrong, he might have really saved Pixiu.
Demon King Ao ran away, and Tiangou and the other Demon Kings should have left the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
Zhou Shu glanced at Pixiu on the ground. He was not in a hurry to leave the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
Without the Demon Kings, as long as he didn’t run around, the Demon Realm Ancestral Court should be relatively safe.
What should I do with Yao Qing, Yao Buqi, and Sun Chuang?
Zhou Shu suddenly remembered that there were still dozens of candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm trapped in the internal space of the Reincarnation Mirror.
At the time, the Reincarnation Mirror had been activated by Yao Qing and Sun Chuang’s human-demon bloodline. It seemed to want to test Yao Qing and Sun Chuang and choose a master from them.
In the end, they were intercepted by Zhou Shu’s Legendary Armament Canon, so it was naturally impossible for the two of them to become the master of the Reincarnation Mirror.
If I kill them all, the experts of the younger generation of the Demon Realm will be wiped out.
Zhou Shu rubbed his chin. The candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm were all outstanding geniuses of the Demon Realm. If he killed them all, the Demon Realm would definitely suffer a huge blow.
But it seemed a waste to kill them just like that.
The candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm were geniuses in their own right, but the factions behind them were more important.
In layman’s terms, most of these demonic beast geniuses were second-generation descendants of the Demon Realm.
Their elders were either senior Great Demons of the Demon Realm or were related to Demon Kings.
In any case, there were not many people who came from humble backgrounds.
These are all good hostages. Since they’ve fallen into my hands, I have to make use of them, Zhou Shu thought. Doesn’t your Demon Realm always want to invade the Ten Nations Continent? Then, I’ll let you have a taste of being invaded first.
A smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand, and in a flash of light, Yao Buqi appeared in front of Zhou Shu.
Yao Buqi had just stabilized himself when he saw Zhou Shu and couldn’t help exclaiming, “King Zhou!”
“Shh…” Zhou Shu placed his index finger in front of his mouth.
Yao Buqi understood and corrected himself. “Shi Changsheng!”
“You’re a promising young demonic beast.” Zhou Shu nodded. “Yao Buqi, the opportunity I promised you has come.”
“What?” Yao Buqi was stunned for a moment before he reacted and smiled bitterly. “In this situation, can I still become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm?”
Zhou Shu had made such a big commotion. He was already lucky enough to be alive.
He didn’t even dare to think about becoming the Holy Son of the Demon Realm now.
“Of course. I’ve never failed to do what I want to do,” Zhou Shu said confidently. “Now that Yao Qing and the other demonic beasts are all in my hands, who in the Demon Realm can compete with you for the position of the Holy Son?”
Yao Buqi: “…”
Isn’t that too unreasonable?
Did you really get rid of all my competitors?
If the Demon Realm is going to be in chaos, even if I become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, so what?
“King Zhou, are you really going to kill them all?” Yao Buqi asked weakly.
“So what if I kill them? So what if I don’t?” Zhou Shu said casually.
“No, I—” Yao Buqi hesitated.
“Of course I won’t kill them,” Zhou Shu continued. “It’s a little wasteful to kill them. Yao Buqi, your chance is here. Leave the Demon Realm Ancestral Court now and go find Yao Qing’s family. There are two things. First, let them support you as the Holy Son of the Demon Realm. I’m being good enough to you, right?”
Yao Buqi: “…”
Zhou Shu smiled. “Second, get them to send someone who keeps their word to negotiate with me and see what price they’re willing to pay to redeem these demonic beasts.”
