“Nephew Yao Qing, what do you intend to do?” Hu Li asked. “You were implicated by me this time. Don’t worry. I’ll cooperate with you whatever you want to do.”

“You had nothing to do with this, Demon King Hu Li. You were forced. I understand,” Zhou Shu comforted Hu Li.

“My cultivation is far inferior to the Demon Kings’, so I can only learn from humans and rely on external objects.”

Zhou Shu pondered. “Demon King Hu Li, I’m going to send the human captives out to help me prepare something. You won’t stop me, right?”

“No, I’ll give you all those captives. You can do whatever you want with them. Not to mention letting them prepare things, even if you eat them, no demonic beasts will say anything.” Hu Li waved his hand.

Zhou Shu was delighted. He had been thinking about how to let Zhang Chunlin and the others leave this place openly. Now, he had seized an opportunity.

As long as he sent Zhang Chunlin and the others away, it didn’t matter if his ident.i.ty was exposed.

With his strength, even if the Demon Kings gathered, he could still leave.

“If you need me to do anything, just tell me, Nephew Yao Qing,” Hu Li said guiltily.

“There’s nothing else. In terms of forging materials—” Zhou Shu said.

“Don’t worry. I will give you what I promised. On that basis, I’ll give you another five million kilograms of forging materials!” Hu Li patted his chest.

Zhou Shu smiled. “Thank you, Demon King Hu Li.”

…

“Lord, if we leave first, what about you?”

In the depths of the cave, when Zhang Chunlin and the others heard what Zhou Shu said, their expressions changed.

These days had been the most comfortable since they fell into the hands of the demonic beasts.

They had almost forgotten that they were still captives of the demonic beasts.

It was only now that they remembered that they were still captives and hadn’t escaped.

“Don’t worry about me.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “This is a rare opportunity. I’ve already informed Hu Li. You can leave here openly now.”

Zhou Shu looked at Zhang Chunlin and said in a deep voice, “Sir Zhang, have you memorized the route I told you before?”

“It’s all here.” He pointed to his head.

“That’s good. Take everyone and follow the route I told you. Go to the place I told you about.

“With Hu Li’s seal, you don’t have to worry even if you encounter demonic beasts on the way. However, you have to be careful. As long as you leave Hu Li’s territory, you have to hide your whereabouts. Don’t let the demonic beasts know your final destination!”

“I understand.” Zhang Chunlin nodded solemnly.

“Also, each of you take a few of these Cosmic Bangles. When we get there, hand them over to a man named s.h.i.+ Songtao. Sir Zhang, can I trust you on this?” Zhou Shu looked at Zhang Chunlin.

“Don’t worry. As long as I’m alive, I will ensure these things are safe. Even if I’m dead, these things will still be safe!” Zhang Chunlin said with a solemn expression.

“Alright, everyone, there’s no need to be so serious. This is a good thing.” Zhou Shu patted Zhang Chunlin’s shoulder and smiled.

“Originally, I was wondering how so many of us would be able to escape unscathed. Now, the demonic beasts have taken the initiative to give us an opportunity.

“I told Hu Li that I was sending you out to find ores. You can use this excuse to leave openly. This is an opportunity we can’t ask for more.”

“But you—” Zhang Chunlin was a little worried.

“I can leave whenever I want. What can the demonic beasts do to me?” Zhou Shu smiled. “As long as you leave safely, I can escape at any time.”

Plop—

Zhang Chunlin suddenly knelt on one knee. Behind him, the hundred-plus human captives also knelt on the ground.

“I don’t know your true ident.i.ty, but you saved our lives,” Zhang Chunlin said. “If we can return to the human race alive, our lives will be yours!”

“What do I want your lives for?” Zhou Shu said. “Everyone, get up. We’re all humans, so it’s only right for us to help each other. In the future, everyone will have to continue fighting side by side. If you have the intention, when you return, use your understanding of demonic beasts to play more roles in future battles.”

“Yes, Lord,” everyone said in unison.

After watching Zhang Chunlin and the others enter the forest, Zhou Shu turned around and looked at Yao Aotian. “It’s just the two of us now. Aotian, do you blame me for not letting you leave with them?”

Yin Chengshan looked around and saw that there were no demonic beasts. “Your Highness, you must be joking.”

“I have no choice. I need someone to stay here and help me. I trust you more than Zhang Chunlin and the others.”

“I am willing to die for Your Highness!” Yin Chengshan’s eyes flashed with excitement.

“You really have to take a little risk this time,” Zhou Shu said. “I’ll be blunt. You might really die.”

“As you command, Your Highness.” Yin Chengshan smiled. “From the day I joined the Demon Executing Army, I never thought that I’d be able to escape death.”

“Come closer.” Zhou Shu nodded and whispered something in Yin Chengshan’s ear.

Yin Chengshan nodded solemnly, then bowed deeply to Zhou Shu before walking forward without looking back.

Seeing Yin Changshan disappear into the mountains, Zhou Shu turned around and looked at Hu Li’s territory. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Now, please begin the performance.

…

After a thousand years, another demonic beast in the Demon Realm had advanced to the Demon King realm. This was definitely a huge matter in the Demon Realm.

In particular, the new Demon King, Hu Li, had invited all the powerful demonic beasts in the Demon Realm, causing almost no demonic beasts in the Demon Realm not to know this news.

The demonic beasts who received Hu Li’s invitation were naturally extremely excited, but those who didn’t receive an invitation fell into deep self-doubt.

Were they not strong enough, or were they not well-known enough?

Whether they were qualified to partic.i.p.ate in Demon King Hu Li’s advancement ceremony became a symbol of their status in the Demon Realm.

All the demonic beasts’ attention was attracted by Hu Li’s advancement ceremony. For a moment, the demonic beasts forgot about the existence of the Ten Nations Alliance.

It could be considered a blessing in disguise. Zhou Shu had fooled Hu Li and also obtained a precious development opportunity for the Huaxia Pavilion’s Demon Realm branch.

As the advancement ceremony approached, some demonic beasts had already arrived at Hu Li’s territory.

In particular, some Great Demons had arrived early. They guarded outside Zhou Shu’s cave day and night, wanting to hear his guidance.

All the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm knew that Hu Li had broken through to the Demon King realm from a Great Demon with Yao Qing’s guidance.

Moreover, Hu Li wasn’t the only one. Yao Qing had changed the name of the fellow who was originally called Yao Baobao. In the end, he had some comprehension, and his cultivation had also increased greatly.

Which demonic beast wouldn’t want such a good thing to happen to them?

“Line up and be quiet!” The ugly Yao Jun stood outside Zhou Shu’s cave, maintaining order with a drooping face.

“If anyone dares to cut in line, they will never have the chance to see Lord Yao Qing!”

Yao Jun was furious. He had served Lord Yao Qing tirelessly without complaint and had yet to receive any guidance. What right did these fellows have?

But he didn’t dare disobey Lord Yao Qing’s orders.

“Lord Yao Qing said that the Dao is not to be pa.s.sed down easily. Previously, in order to listen to Lord Yao Qing’s preaching, those Great Demons helped Lord Yao Qing dig tens of millions of kilograms of ores.”

Yao Jun said loudly, “You came late. It’s too late to mine now. However, Lord Yao Qing is kind and has decided to give you a chance. Line up and enter one by one. Remember, prepare your most precious things. Whether you can obtain the lord’s guidance will depend on your sincerity!”
