1156 Unstoppable in the Demon Realm, The Repetition of Yao Buqi (2)
At the entrance of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, Mi Ziwen said respectfully to Meng Bai, “Teacher, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?”
Meng Bai smiled. “You’re already the Invincible God of War. You don’t have to ask me about these things. Just do as you see fit. I’m here this time to be an old soldier and listen to your orders.”
Meng Bai was very satisfied with his disciple. Many years ago, he had no longer asked about military matters and took care of his own affairs.
The only regret Meng Bai had in his life was that he hadn’t been able to take Zhou Shu in as his disciple.
Back then, when Zhou Shu was only a Forging Apprentice of Great Xia’s Forging Division, Meng Bai could already tell that he was a promising talent.
Unfortunately, at the time, he was in a hurry to lead the army to war. He wanted to nurture Zhou Shu after he returned from the war.
In the end, when he returned from the expedition, he was no longer qualified to take Zhou Shu in as his disciple.
At the time, Zhou Shu had already become famous.
Later, he progressed faster and faster. His old bones could barely keep up with Zhou Shu, let alone take him in as his disciple.
But it was also an honor to be able to witness his growth.
“With Teacher around, I can feel at ease,” Mi Ziwen said respectfully.
“It’s not because of me. It’s because of His Highness,” Meng Bai said emotionally.
Ever since Zhou Shu returned, everyone felt at ease.
Speaking of which, there were only a few old people who came to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court this time.
Logically speaking, even if all of them were at the Grotto-Heaven realm now, with their strength, they wouldn’t be able to do much in the Demon Realm.
It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that any one or two Demon Emperors could wipe them out.
In the past, it was almost impossible for them to go to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
But now, not only were they here, but they were even preparing to deal with the attacks of the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm.
To outsiders, this was practically courting death. Now, not only were they not afraid at all, but they even felt their blood boil with indignation.
How many years had it been? The days when they roamed the Demon Realm seemed to have returned!
Boom!
Just as Mi Ziwen finished making arrangements, a roar came from the depths of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
They subconsciously turned to look. That place was where Zhou Shu was. It seemed that Zhou Shu had already begun to forge.
“Brothers, the demonic beast soldiers are the first line of defense. If they can’t withstand it, the rest will be up to you.” Mi Ziwen gripped the hilt of his sword.
“Don’t worry. Unless we all fall, no one can disturb His Highness,” Yang Hong said seriously.
“Everyone, we can finally fight side by side again.” The corners of Mi Ziwen’s mouth curled up slightly as he looked outside the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. Smoke and dust soared into the sky in the distance. Clearly, as Zhou Shu had expected, demonic beasts were really attacking.
“Yao Buqi, why are you pulling me? I want to go kill them,” Hu Li said unhappily.
“Are you stupid? You’re a Demon Emperor!” Yao Buqi whispered, “Remember, we’re only helping this time. Don’t be rash.”
“What do you mean?” Hu Li frowned.
“What do you think? When the battle starts later, if no Demon Emperor appears, don’t do anything. If a Demon Emperor really comes, fight casually for a while and then run. Do you understand?”
Hu Li widened his eyes. “Run? Will I be afraid of them?”
“Of course you’re not afraid of them.” Yao Buqi shook his head. “You’re now the leader of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. You have to consider the demonic beasts under you!”
The eyes of Yao Buqi flickered. “We haven’t seen each other for so many years. We don’t know what’s going on with King Zhou now. We’re already very kind to help him like this.
“We can’t possibly sacrifice the Demon Realm Ancestral Court just because he says so, right? The Demon Realm Ancestral Court is our hundred years of hard work.”
Yao Buqi reasoned with his heart and emotions.
Hu Li felt a headache coming on. He couldn’t be bothered to think about such nonsense. But Yao Buqi was his military advisor, and he was already used to listening to Yao Buqi.
“Alright, I’ll try my best,” Hu Li said. His style had always been to fight to the death. It was really difficult for him to pretend to lose.
Yao Buqi had no choice. He repeatedly instructed Hu Li before turning to Yao Qing. “Yao Qing, I haven’t had time to ask you. Where did you meet King Zhou? He’s been missing for so many years. Why did he suddenly appear? Where has he been all these years?”
“I don’t know.” Yao Qing shook his head. “King Zhou was already there when I found the King of Men.”
“Is that so?” Yao Buqi pondered and said, “Then, do you know how strong King Zhou is now?”
Yao Buqi couldn’t ask Zhou Shu directly, and he couldn’t see through Zhou Shu’s cultivation either.
But Zhou Shu’s strength was related to how he would treat him in the future. He had to think of a way to figure it out.
He didn’t want Hu Li to fight with all his might because he wanted to force Zhou Shu to fight.
This was also a test.
“I didn’t see him use his full strength, but I saw him in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven. At the time, I heard that he had just killed the master of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, Tang Lan, and taken the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven for himself…” Yao Qing said distractedly. His thoughts had always been on the woman that Zhou Shu said was his mother. He really wanted to figure out what relationship this woman had with him.
“What did you say?” Yao Buqi almost bit his tongue. “You said that King Zhou killed the master of the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, Tang Lan?”
His eyes widened, and his breathing quickened.
Fortunately, he had been cautious enough not to slight Zhou Shu. Just thinking about it made him feel a little afraid. At the time, he had really wanted to put on airs in front of Zhou Shu.
After all, he was already a Grotto-Heaven realm almighty. How could he be lowly and listen to others?
But at that point, Yao Buqi still remembered what Zhou Shu had done in the past. Out of caution, he still gave Zhou Shu enough face in front of him.
Now that he thought about it, he had done the right thing.
He could even kill a Grotto-Heaven Master!
The human race had fought with the Demon Realm for so many years, but only one Grotto-Heaven Master had died in battle. It was the Demon Emperor that Ji Lutian and Zheng Chengan of the Sima Grotto-Heaven had fought to the death together!
Generally speaking, the possibility of Grotto-Heaven Masters being killed was almost zero. They usually died of old age.
As expected of King Zhou, he already achieved such a big thing after just returning!
“Are you sure King Zhou killed Tang Lan alone?” Yao Buqi asked with a solemn expression.
“Yes.” Yao Qing thought for a moment and said, “Although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven does indeed belong to King Zhou now. Moreover, I saw someone from the Tang family named Tang Tang. He said the same thing.”
When Yao Qing found out about this, he was also shocked.
It was a Grotto-Heaven Master.
But when he thought about how Zhou Shu was the one who had done it, it wasn’t strange.
Back then, he had done many unexpected things.
Fortunately, Yao Buqi thought.
He suddenly looked at Hu Li. “Hu Li, if demonic beasts attack the Demon Realm Ancestral Court later, regardless of whether there’s a Demon Emperor or not, you have to fight. Not only do you have to fight, but you also have to use your full strength!
“This is a great opportunity for us to perform!”
He ignored Hu Li’s confusion and flew toward Mi Ziwen and the others. He had to participate in the battle as well.
At this moment, an arrow beam shot across the sky and landed thousands of meters away from the entrance of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
A murderous voice echoed in the air. “Stop. Those who cross the line will die!”
