704 Blackmailing Half the Demon Realm, Double Spy Yao Buqi (1)
“Redeem them?” Yao Buqi was shocked.
“Is there a problem?” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “Since I’m sparing their lives, shouldn’t they pay a price? Do they want money more than their lives?”
Yao Buqi: “…”
You’re demanding money for their lives?
Do you know the identities of the demonic beasts you’ve captured?
Kidnapping them is equivalent to offending more than half of the Demon Realm’s forces.
Are you really not afraid?
Yao Buqi opened his mouth, but he suddenly realized that Zhou Shu was not a demonic beast.
He was human!
He was already enemies with the Demon Realm. The entire Demon Realm was looking for his traces and wanted to encircle him.
Under such circumstances, it didn’t seem to make any difference whether he offended those demonic beasts or not.
But for some reason, he felt awkward.
It felt a little crazy to kidnap the candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.
It was easy to kidnap them. But if he demanded money for their lives, he might survive to spend it.
“What? You’re not willing to send a message? Or are you afraid that they’ll think you’re with me?” Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi. “It’s fine if you’re unwilling. I’ll ask someone else. Perhaps Yao Qing or Sun Chuang will have the guts to do it.”
Yao Buqi said, “I…”
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, “King Zhou, why wouldn’t I dare? I’m not stealing or robbing. I’m just sending a message. What can they do to me?”
Despite saying this, Yao Buqi knew that once he did as Zhou Shu said and sent a message, it would be easy to explain when he asked the demonic beasts to deliver the ransom. But if he asked them to support him as the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, even a fool would know that this matter had something to do with him.
At that time, even if he became the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, he would inevitably be punished later.
Zhou Shu had given him a huge problem.
But he couldn’t refuse!
Their deal was that Zhou Shu would help him become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm. Now, Zhou Shu had given him a way to achieve it, and this method would definitely make him the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.
At the time, their agreement didn’t say how long Yao Buqi could be the Holy Son of the Demon Realm!
Now, Yao Buqi felt like he had been tricked, but he still couldn’t reason with Zhou Shu.
If he argued with Zhou Shu, he might get slapped to death by him.
He had seen how Pixiu, who had been extremely arrogant to Demon King Ao, Tiangou, and the others, had laid on the ground like a dead dog.
This was the outcome of being enemies with Zhou Shu!
Not even a Demon King could do it. How could he, Yao Buqi, have the ability?!
“King Zhou, how much ransom should I ask them to prepare?” Yao Buqi asked.
“Didn’t I just say it? We still have to discuss the ransom. Get them to send people who can make the decision to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court to discuss it with me,” Zhou Shu said.
“The Demon Realm Ancestral Court isn’t bad. It’s much more spacious than the Two Region Mountain. I want this place.”
Yao Buqi’s eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide that a fist could fit inside.
King Zhou, are you sure you’re not joking?
You’re human, but you want to occupy our Demon Realm Ancestral Court?
“Uhh…” Yao Buqi was not a demonic beast with a sense of honor, and the dispute between humans and demonic beasts was not as important as his own interests.
But if the Demon Realm Ancestral Court fell into the hands of the human race, even Yao Buqi would feel humiliated.
This was the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, the origin of demonic beasts, the holy land in the hearts of all demonic beasts!
“Do you have a problem with it?” Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi.
“King Zhou, this isn’t a matter of whether I have a problem with it,” Yao Buqi said. “The Demon Realm Ancestral Court is the holy land of our Demon Realm. It won’t be so easy to occupy.”
“Isn’t it easy? I don’t see any demonic beasts here,” Zhou Shu said calmly.
“Although there are no demonic beasts stationed here, as long as anyone dares to have designs on this place, all the demonic beasts in the entire Demon Realm will immediately gather,” Yao Buqi said seriously.
“King Zhou, the human race became a presence in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, but there’s no way you can compare to this place. At that time, all the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm will enter this place. No matter how high your cultivation is, it’s impossible for you to guard this place.”
There were more than a billion demonic beasts in the Demon Realm. In addition to the thirteen Demon Kings, there were also countless Great Demons and first-rank demonic beasts.
No matter how high Zhou Shu’s cultivation was, it would be impossible for him to withstand the siege of so many demonic beasts.
Zhou Shu nodded. He agreed with Yao Buqi.
His greatest advantage, and that of the 30,000-strong alliance army in the Demon Realm, was their high mobility and the ability to change bases at any time.
This was their chance to survive in the Demon Realm.
If they really stationed themselves in one place and the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm found out, it would be the end for them.
It would be impossible for them to withstand the siege of the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm. Even Zhou Shu couldn’t withstand it.
What he had just said was just a casual remark. He had no intention of really occupying the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. At least for now, he didn’t have the ability.
Although he didn’t have the ability to occupy the Demon Realm Ancestral Court for a long time, it wasn’t a problem to use it to do something.
“You don’t have to worry about anything else.” Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi.
“You just have to do as I say and tell the clansmen of Yao Qing and the others to send demonic beasts with enough authority to negotiate. The rest has nothing to do with you.
“I will wait for them at the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.”
Zhou Shu clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, his eyes as deep as the ocean.
