“It’s certainly possible,” Yao Buqi said. “But there are only a few demonic beasts in the entire Demon Realm who can help Demon King Hu Li break through from the Great Demon realm to the Demon King realm.

“Moreover, on the battlefield, I once saw your soldiers easily breaking through realms. At that time, I knew that you definitely had a way to help others break through. Therefore, I immediately thought of you, King Zhou.”

“So, you took a saber to probe me?” Zhou Shu continued asking.

“Actually, I wouldn’t call it probing,” Yao Buqi said very sincerely. “Yao Qing and I really have an agreement. When we joined forces to escape back to the Demon Realm from the battlefield, I gave him a saber I picked up from the battlefield. He also owes me a favor.

“Although I thought Yao Qing was a fake, accidents happen, so I just wanted to be sure.

!!

“But after seeing you, there’s no need to be sure.”

Yao Buqi said seriously, “Although your disguise is impeccable, I was sure it was you the moment I saw you!”

“Why are you sure?” Zhou Shu was very curious.

His supreme ability Myriad Transformations shouldn’t have any flaws in theory.

When he saw Yao Buqi, he didn’t even say a word. It was impossible for him to give anything away.

“Intuition!” Yao Buqi said seriously. “King Zhou, in my eyes, you are like the moon in the night sky. Even if there are stars in the sky, they can’t hide your light.

“I trust my own instincts. Looks like my instincts were right this time too.”

Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi and was silent for a moment.

Yao Buqi’s eyes looked very sincere. He didn’t look like he was lying. Moreover, Zhou Shu thought that his supreme ability Myriad Transformations indeed had no flaws.

“Fine. You pass.” Zhou Shu pondered. “Continue. What do you want to cooperate with me on? I can’t think of anything that I need to cooperate with you on.”

“Of course there is.” Yao Buqi said. “King Zhou, don’t you need help with what you’re doing here?”

“Are you threatening me?” Zhou Shu’s face darkened. “Do you think you can ruin my plans?”

Seeing Zhou Shu’s expression change, Yao Buqi hurriedly said, “Misunderstanding, it’s a misunderstanding! I’m really not threatening you!

“King Zhou, think about it. Didn’t we cooperate well together on that battlefield?

“I can help you now too.”

Zhou Shu glanced at him and said coldly, “No need. Since you can find your way here, you must know that at least a dozen Great Demons are doing what you once did.

“You think that your help is still useful to me?”

“If you want to mine, King Zhou, with the help of those dozen or so Great Demons, you naturally don’t need me.”

Yao Buqi said confidently, “But what I can do is definitely not just mining.

“King Zhou, you got a group of Great Demons to dig up so many ores in Demon King Hu Li’s place, but I guess you can’t get the human army to move them away, right?

“I have a way to help you take all those ores and heaven and earth treasures away!”

“Is that so?” Zhou Shu said noncommittally. He naturally wouldn’t tell Yao Buqi that he planned to use all of these things to forge the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

He couldn’t take away the forging materials, but he could definitely take away the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

Seeing Zhou Shu’s calm attitude, Yao Buqi thought that he didn’t believe him. He said anxiously, “I’m telling the truth!

“You might not know, but I’m a powerful demonic beast in the Demon Realm—”

“I know,” Zhou Shu interrupted.

Back at the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield, he had captured Yao Buqi alive. In the end, he had attracted a first-rank demonic beast to save him. At that time, he knew that Yao Buqi was a second-generation demon and had an extraordinary status in the Demon Realm.

But it made no difference to Zhou Shu.

Even if Yao Buqi was a Demon King, Zhou Shu didn’t care.

“Okay, I’ll just get to the point,” Yao Buqi said helplessly.

“I have a territory in the Demon Realm. As long as you send the items to my territory, I can slowly think of a way to send them to the place you specify.

“My place is absolutely safe. As long as the materials arrive at my place, even Demon King Hu Li can forget about snatching them back.”

“Are you trying to say that even Hu Li can’t afford to offend you? In that case, why do you want to cooperate with me?” Zhou Shu said. “Even Demon Kings can’t afford to offend you. Is there anything in the Demon Realm that you can’t do?”

“It’s not that Demon Kings can’t afford to offend me.” Yao Buqi smiled bitterly. “But…

“It’s hard to explain. It’s because of my place.

“Only with my permission can outsiders enter it. Otherwise, not even a Demon King can enter.

“King Zhou, it’s definitely safe for you to send those forging materials to me. After this matter is over, I’ll send those things to the place you specify. It’ll be foolproof.”

“Why would I go to all that trouble? I can have the Great Demons deliver the stuff to my designated place right now. They won’t have a problem. Do you believe me?” Zhou Shu said.

Zhou Shu continued, “But I’d like to hear it. What do you want from me by cooperating with me?”

“I want you to help me become a Great Demon. If I can break through to the Demon King realm, it will be even better,” Yao Buqi said.

“Do you think helping me store some forging materials is worth that?” Zhou Shu sneered. “You sure are scheming.

“Those Great Demons are doing their best to help me, and they only wanted to hear me talk. Your appetite is much greater than theirs.”

Yao Buqi looked conflicted. He gritted his teeth. “There’s one more thing I can do!

“King Zhou, from the battlefield to the Demon Realm, there should be many human soldiers under your command, right?”

Yao Buqi struggled and said, “You have to hide in the Demon Realm. If I say that I can provide you a place to hide where you don’t have to worry about being discovered by other demonic beasts, what do you think of this condition, King Zhou? And if you can’t help me break through to become a Great Demon, that’s fine too. I just need you to pretend to be me and help me do something. I think you can pretend to be me, right?

“As long as you pretend to be me and help me defeat a few demonic beasts, that’s enough!

“King Zhou, do you think this condition is enough?”

“Give the human army a place to hide? You’re betraying the Demon Realm. Aren’t you afraid of being eaten alive by the Demon Kings?” Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi curiously.

“Who will know?” Yao Buqi asked. “As long as I don’t say it and you don’t say it, who will know what I’ve done?”

“You seem to have a lot of faith in that territory of yours,” Zhou Shu said. “If you can really provide a place that won’t be discovered, this cooperation isn’t impossible.

“The premise is that the person you want to defeat isn’t a Demon King.”

Zhou Shu was a little curious about what Yao Buqi said. Not even Demon Kings could enter his territory without his permission.

Yao Buqi was only a first-rank demonic beast. Was he that important?

Needless to say, Zhou Shu was very curious about the place Yao Buqi mentioned.

“Of course it’s not a Demon King,” Yao Buqi said. “The only people I want to defeat are my competitors.

“As long as I have the cultivation of a Great Demon, I can definitely win.

“This should be easy for you, King Zhou.”

“Whether it’s easy or not is not up to you,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “But it’s not impossible to cooperate. First, you have to tell me why you’re so sure that even Demon Kings can’t enter your territory without your permission.

“If you can’t prove that, then the basis of our cooperation doesn’t exist. Then you can go. If you can prove that you’re not lying, it won’t be hard for you to defeat a few demons.”
