841 Are You Dead? The Ruler of Demonic Beasts (2)

After returning to the wall, Tang Qianluo threw Zhou Shu’s corpse to Ao Guang.

Zhang Jiping said coldly, “Ao Guang, we’ve brought him. You can retreat now!”

“Is it him?” Ao Guang turned to ask the other Demon Kings.

A few Demon Kings went forward to observe the corpse. “Yes.”

“Zhang Jiping, you people are quite sensible.”

Ao Guang slapped ‘Zhou Shu’s’ corpse. The corpse made a few muffled sounds, and then blood splattered everywhere. If he had faked his death, he would be completely dead now,

“I’ll keep my word and let you live another year.” Ao Guang grinned. “A year later, I’ll personally come and twist off your heads. I hope you don’t disappoint me. If you die too easily, it will be meaningless.”

Ao Guang grinned sinisterly, turned into a golden stream of light, and returned to the Demon Realm.

The crazy beast army retreated into the Demon Realm like a receding tide.

They really retreated!

Zhang Jiping heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Tang Qianluo and asked in a low voice, “Where’s the secret formula?”

“In Ji Lutian’s hands.” Tang Qianluo’s expression was gloomy. “When we went over, Zhou Shu had already died at Ji Lutian’s hands.”

“Mm?” Zhang Jiping’s expression changed slightly.

Zheng Chengan, who had been watching coldly from the side, frowned. Old Ji killed Zhou Shu?

How is that possible?

Confusion flashed across Zheng Chengan’s eyes. He subconsciously looked at Zhou Shu’s corpse on the ground. Suddenly, his pupils constricted.

“Meng Bai! If you’re afraid of death, don’t stop me! I’ll fight them to the death!” Bai Qiancheng growled not far away.

Meng Bai stopped him. “What do you want to do? Do you want to fight to the death? Can you kill them?”

“Even if I can’t kill them, I have to try!” Bai Qiancheng shouted. “Meng Bai, His Highness treated you well. He died in the hands of these people. Are you just going to watch helplessly?”

“Calm down!” Meng Bai said solemnly. “It’s precisely because of this that we have to calm down. Only by saving our strength can we avenge His Highness!”

A strange look flashed across Meng Bai’s eyes.

Beside him, Wang Mu also looked thoughtful.

Boom!

With a loud bang, Zheng Chengan punched a deep pit in the ground.

With a wave of his hand, he pushed ‘Zhou Shu’s’ corpse into the pit.

“Zheng Chengan, what are you doing?!” Tang Qianluo shouted.

“Hmph, you’ve already forced him to his death. Do you want to leave his corpse in the wilderness?” Zheng Chengan said coldly without even turning his head. “You’re ruthless. I can’t do it.

“He died unjustly. I, Zheng Chengan, am not capable enough to stop you, but I can still give him a burial.”

Zheng Chengan took a step forward, and a violent force raised the yellow soil. Then it landed in the deep pit and buried ‘Zhou Shu’s’ corpse.

Zheng Chengan’s aura erupted, blocking everyone’s gaze. No one saw that ‘Zhou Shu’s’ corpse, which was buried under the dust, slowly transformed into another person.

As the dust settled, Zheng Chengan’s aura penetrated the soil and shook the corpse into a mass of flesh and blood, mixing it with the soil. No one could distinguish it anymore.

A mocking smile appeared on Zheng Chengan’s lips.

“The secret formula is with Ji Lutian. He asked us to go over and discuss it with him.” Tang Qianluo’s voice sounded. “Everyone, Ji Lutian is too arrogant.”

Zhang Jiping shook his head slightly. “It doesn’t matter as long as there’s the secret formula.

“Everyone, let’s discuss it with Mr. Ji.”

He led the way toward Two Region Mountain.

Zheng Chengan pursed his lips and flew up as well. He also wanted to see what Ji Lutian was up to.

It wasn’t until the grotto-heaven leaders left that Meng Bai, Wang Mu, and Bai Qiancheng arrived in front of the grave that Zheng Chengan had made.

“Damn it!” Bai Qiancheng clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red.

“Old Bai, don’t get agitated.” Wang Mu narrowed his eyes, restrained the fluctuations in his heart, and whispered, “The one buried here might not be His Highness.”

“Mm?” Bai Qiancheng frowned.

“His Highness won’t die so easily,” Meng Bai also whispered. “Xiao Jianghe is also on the Two Region Mountain. If Ji Lutian really attacked His Highness, it’s impossible for Xiao Jianghe not to react.”

Bai Qiancheng’s eyes flashed. This did seem to make sense.

“Then…”

“Act,” Meng Bai said. His face revealed grief as he knelt on one knee on the ground. He found a piece of wood somewhere and actually made a tombstone.

Wang Mu also had tears in his eyes. He punched the ground with both fists, as if he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Bai Qiancheng ridiculed them inwardly. These two old foxes clearly saw through the abnormality, but they’re acting so well. We’re all generals, but why are you two so outstanding?

…

Another group of uninvited guests came to the Two Region Mountain.

Ji Lutian had taken the lead to set up tables and chairs on top of the Two Region Mountain and invited Zhang Jiping and the others to sit down.

This scene made Yao Buqi, who was hiding halfway up the mountain, roll his eyes. I’m the master of the Two Region Mountain. What do they think this place is?

“Yao Buqi, did you see that? If you’re not strong enough, you can only be controlled by others.” An ordinary-looking man was sitting beside Yao Buqi.

“King Zhou, you must be joking. I don’t have any thoughts,” Yao Buqi hastily said.

“Really? What if someone wants to take away your Two Region Mountain?” Zhou Shu smiled faintly.

“Yao Buqi, it doesn’t matter if you’re ambitious. But if you’re ambitious, you have to have the strength to match it.

“As a human, it’s impossible without strength. Look at me. I’m a clear example. My strength is inferior to others, so I can only pretend to be dead…”

“King Zhou, don’t tease me.” Yao Buqi smiled bitterly. “You have a plan. I don’t think those people can kill you.”

Yao Buqi was full of confidence in Zhou Shu. Even the Demon King earlier was no match for him. These humans couldn’t kill him at all. He must be up to no good again.

“Let’s return to the topic at hand. Yao Buqi, let me ask you a question. Do you want to become the ruler of demonic beasts?” Zhou Shu said with a smile.

“The ruler of demonic beasts?” Yao Buqi didn’t understand.

“Didn’t you want to become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm before? No matter how nice you make it sound, it’s just a title. Being the ruler of demonic beasts means that all the demonic beasts in the world will have to obey you. And you will become the king of demonic beasts…”

“Huh?!” Yao Buqi was surprised. “I don’t have that ability.”

He was only a Great Demon now, and he was even considered weak among Great Demons. How could he become the ruler of demonic beasts?

“Just because you don’t have the ability now doesn’t mean you won’t in the future. And being a king doesn’t necessarily require brute force.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “As long as you have leadership, you can become the ruler of demonic beasts. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can save the demonic beasts from this situation, don’t you think they will be grateful to you? If you can lead them to do great things, won’t they treat you as their king?”

“How can I save them?” Yao Buqi asked curiously. “I don’t want to lead them to do anything great either.

“What can I do? I only know how to mine.”

Yao Buqi’s role as a miner seemed to have penetrated deep into his bones…

“In this world, the easiest thing to do is to be a leader.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “You just need to talk. There will naturally be people helping you handle matters.

“What you have to do is lead the demonic beasts and live in peace with the human race. That’s enough.”

“King Zhou, are you serious?” Yao Buqi finally understood. He looked at Zhou Shu and said in a panic, “King Zhou, what do you want me to do? You’re not going to make me go to the Demon Realm to help you recruit demonic beasts, are you? I really can’t. Demon King Hu Li, look for Demon King Hu Li. His cultivation is much higher than mine. He will definitely be able to help you recruit a large number of demonic beasts!”
