708 Did I Ask For Too Little (1)
The woman who appeared on the statue of the Demon Ancestor stared at Zhou Shu. After a long time, she said, “I’ll help you this time. If you still stay here after this, I won’t let you off even if I have to risk being discovered!
“Don’t think I can’t tell. You’re not like you were back then. If we really fight, it’s not certain who will win!”
The woman’s words were ruthless, but inside, she was full of fear for Shi Changsheng.
This greatly changed Zhou Shu’s impression of Shi Changsheng.
Was the Shi Changsheng he knew really the same as the Shi Changsheng this woman spoke of?
Why did he feel that Shi Changsheng was an unreliable person? He didn’t have the demeanor of a peerless expert at all. And when he encountered danger, he ran faster than anyone else.
Moreover, this woman didn’t seem to know that Shi Changsheng had fused his body with his weapon and was only a weapon now.
But this woman and Shi Changsheng definitely knew each other back then. Zhou Shu didn’t dare to say too much, afraid that this woman would see through him.
After all, pretending to be Shi Changsheng was quite useful. Wasn’t this an unexpected gain now?
“Don’t worry. I am a person of high moral character. I mean what I say.” Zhou Shu smiled. “As long as you help me get the ransom, I promise to leave the Demon Realm Ancestral Court and never harass you again!”
The next time I come, I might not be Shi Changsheng, Zhou Shu added in his heart.
…
Several days later, a group of demonic beasts arrived outside the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. Leading them were Yao Buqi and the senior Great Demon Yao Bei.
The other demonic beasts were all Great Demons with deep auras.
“Brother Yao Bei, are we just going to bow our heads to that bastard?” said a rough-looking Great Demon angrily while looking at the entrance of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
“Bow our heads?” Yao Bei said coldly. “This is a temporary measure. After we save the children, we will naturally settle scores with him slowly!
“It’s just some worldly possessions. We’ll leave them to him for safekeeping for the time being. Later, no matter what conditions he wants, we’ll all agree. Not only must we agree, but we’ll also satisfy his conditions as quickly as possible!
“As long as we save the children of our various races, we have plenty of ways to deal with him! If Shi Changsheng thinks it’s easy to bully us, he’s wrong!”
Yao Bei sneered.
So what if he had defeated Demon King Ao?
Demon King Ao was powerful, and Great Demons like them definitely couldn’t compare to Demon King Ao in a one-on-one battle. But they had lived for so many years, and all of them had some trump cards.
If they didn’t have any ability, how could these Great Demons have survived in the Demon Realm?
“Brother Yao Bei is right,” a Great Demon agreed. “How can a mere human turn the world upside down?”
As the Great Demons spoke, they began to work together to open the entrance of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
The Demon Realm Ancestral Court was the Demon Ancestor’s grotto-heaven. But for some reason, before the Demon Ancestor disappeared, she had left her grotto-heaven here. The secret technique to open the Demon Realm Ancestral Court had been passed down from generation to generation. Of course, those who were qualified to master this secret technique were also high-ranking demonic beasts in the Demon Realm.
The demonic beasts Yao Buqi had brought were either patriarchs or elders. They were all powerful demonic beasts qualified to come into contact with the secret technique to open the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
Amid the dozens of divine powers, the entrance of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court opened again.
“Lords, I’ll scout the way for everyone!” Yao Buqi shouted with a determined expression and stepped into the Demon Realm Ancestral Court first.
Yao Bei and the other Great Demons looked impressed. They didn’t think so in the past, but now, they felt that Yao Buqi was not bad.
“Everyone, let’s go.” Yao Bei followed.
The other Great Demons moved and entered the Demon Realm Ancestral Court without hesitation.
Before the entrance closed, a few lights suddenly flew in.
The Great Demons had just entered the Demon Realm Ancestral Court when they felt their vision go black, and a few figures suddenly appeared.
They couldn’t help exclaiming.
“Demon King Ao?!”
“Tiangou?!”
“He Yuan?!”
The few figures that suddenly appeared were the ten great Demon Kings of the Demon Realm!
They actually returned!
Demon King Ao coughed lightly and said with an unnatural expression, “We already know what you want to do. This time, we Demon Kings will personally hold the fort for you.”
The news of him losing to Shi Changsheng had already spread throughout the Demon Realm, and he was more or less a little embarrassed now.
But now that Pixiu was still in Shi Changsheng’s hands, in order to save him, he had no choice but to come out.
“With the Demon Kings holding the line, we’re even more confident.” After all, Yao Bei was a senior demon. After living for so many years, he wouldn’t embarrass Demon King Ao in front of him.
He laughed and turned to Yao Buqi. “Yao Buqi, where is the place Shi Changsheng agreed to meet?”
“In the Demon Ancestor Temple,” Yao Buqi said. “Lords, do you want me to negotiate with Shi Changsheng first? With your status, wouldn’t it be giving him too much face if you negotiated with a kidnapper?”
“That makes sense.” The Demon Kings and Great Demons nodded. They really didn’t want to see that bastard Shi Changsheng.
“Everyone, please wait a moment. I’ll go now!” Yao Buqi cupped his hands. “If I die at Shi Changsheng’s hands, please inform my parents.”
