712 Two Windfalls, Tough Front (1)
On one side were the ten great Demon Kings of the Demon Realm, and on the other side were dozens of senior Great Demons. Although there was a difference in strength between the two sides, there wasn’t that much of a difference.
If they really fought, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yao Buqi’s scalp tingled. How did things develop to this point?
King Zhou didn’t even attack, and the demonic beasts are fighting each other themselves?
This person is too terrifying.
“Lords, everyone! Please listen to me!” Yao Buqi shouted under tremendous pressure.
The Demon Kings and Great Demons looked at Yao Buqi at the same time. The powerful pressure almost made Yao Buqi wet his pants.
“Nephew Yao Buqi, what do you want to say?” Great Demon Yao Bei asked.
Previously, they had all seen Yao Buqi running around to save the candidates for the Holy Son of the Demon Realm. Now, all the demonic beasts had a good impression of Yao Buqi.
“Lords, shouldn’t our top priority be to find Shi Changsheng first?” Yao Buqi braced himself. “He’s already escaped. If we don’t act quickly, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find him again.”
The Demon Kings and senior Great Demons frowned. They looked at each other and snorted unhappily.
“Hmph, we’ll talk about this later.” Yao Bei snorted coldly. He didn’t take Demon King Ao and the other Demon Kings seriously at all.
Demon King Ao, Tiangou, He Yuan, and the other Demon Kings were also furious.
For many years, the Demon Kings had always been the bosses of the Demon Realm.
Just because of Shi Changsheng, their dignity had been destroyed, and a group of Great Demons actually dared to contradict them!
All of this was because of that damn Shi Changsheng!
Yao Bei looked at Yao Buqi and asked kindly, “Nephew Yao Buqi, you’ve had more contact with Shi Changsheng. Tell us, how should we find him?”
“I do have some ideas, but my status is low. I’m afraid I have to ask for your help…” Yao Buqi said hesitantly.
“From now on, we’ll listen to your orders. As long as you help us capture Shi Changsheng, I will be the first to nominate you to be the Holy Son of the Demon Realm!” Great Demon Yao Bei said loudly.
Yao Buqi’s face lit up. He finally heard this.
“Yes, as long as you can help us capture Shi Changsheng, the Holy Son of the Demon Realm will be you,” Demon King Ao said coldly.
As long as he could capture Shi Changsheng and save Pixiu, not to mention the position of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, he was willing to pay any price.
Yao Buqi looked confident. Thinking of Zhou Shu’s voice transmission, he became even more confident.
…
The Demon Realm Ancestral Court was not far from the Demon Ancestor Temple.
In a place that seemed to be completely isolated from the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, Zhou Shu placed his hands behind his back and floated like an immortal.
In front of him was a woman who looked like a shadow. The woman had a disdainful expression on her face as she harrumphed coldly. “Hmph, playing tricks! I’ve already done what you wanted me to do. Can you get lost now?”
“There’s no hurry,” Zhou Shu said calmly.
This woman was really useful.
If not for her help, Zhou Shu really wasn’t confident that he could have transferred the ransom paid by the demonic beasts away.
How could he not know what those demonic beasts had planned?
Originally, if not for this woman, he would have used another method to collect the ransom. But with the help of this woman, who possessed the statue of the Demon Ancestor, he had transformed into a living person in front of the demonic beasts.
Zhou Shu didn’t know this woman’s background, but it seemed that she had a deep relationship with demonic beasts. She even controlled a portion of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
Although she couldn’t completely control everything in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court like the Demon Ancestor could, it was still easy for her to move some things silently.
“Do you want to go back on your word?” The woman was furious. “I’ve already helped you, but you still want to stay here? Do you really want to force me to fall out with you?”
“Don’t be so impulsive.” Zhou Shu smiled and shook his head. “Since I said I would leave, I will naturally leave. But there’s no hurry.
“I have to deal with these things, right?”
Zhou Shu pointed at the mountain of treasures, his heart blooming with joy.
This unexpected windfall was the most exciting thing.
“Put them into your grotto-heaven and take them away. Leave this place. Do whatever you want with them! Don’t stay here with me shamelessly!” the woman said angrily.
If not for her fear, she would have directly chased Shi Changsheng out.
“Don’t be so harsh.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “This Demon Realm Ancestral Court doesn’t belong to you.”
How could he have a grotto-heaven?
There was so much ransom. If he didn’t process it, he wouldn’t be able to take it away.
But he couldn’t show fear in front of this woman. He could tell that this woman was just putting on a brave front. If she was really confident, she wouldn’t have lowered her head from the beginning.
Since she had chosen to help Zhou Shu fool the demonic beasts, she definitely didn’t dare to make a move now.
Shi Changsheng’s name was quite useful.
“On account that our cooperation was quite pleasant, I won’t hold it against you this time,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “Do me another small favor, and then I promise to return your peace.”
The woman’s almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief. “Shi Changsheng, how did you do it?”
