Bang!

Zhou Shu rolled a few times in the air and crashed onto the ground. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He cursed in his heart as he saw two powerful auras flying toward him from the top of the mountain.

With a slight frown, he turned to run.

When Demon King Ao suddenly attacked, Zhou Shu almost thought that his identity had been exposed.

!!

Just as he was about to unleash his strength, he felt that Demon King Ao’s attack didn’t match his strength as the number one Demon King in the Demon Realm.

Therefore, he forcefully controlled his urge to fight back and took the blow from Demon King Ao.

Furthermore, in order to avoid being exposed, he even suppressed the Golden Bell Shield Technique, afraid that Demon King Ao would see through him.

Otherwise, with the power of Demon King Ao’s attack, he wouldn’t have been able to hurt Zhou Shu at all.

However, Yao Qing was only a first-rank demonic beast. Even if Demon King Ao held back, he would still be injured.

“Yao Qing has disobeyed Demon King Ao. I have received orders to kill him. All demonic beasts, cooperate fully!”

Zhou Shu had run dozens of kilometers when a loud shout suddenly came from behind.

He rolled his eyes. The two Demon Kings behind him chased slowly, and it had been a while before they shouted.

This was clearly giving him time to escape. Otherwise, with so many powerful demonic beasts on Hu Li’s mountain, how could Yao Qing escape?

Not to mention anything else, if these two Demon Kings went all out chasing, they would have long caught up to Yao Qing.

Zhou Shu was not using his full strength now. He maintained his fleeing speed at the level of a first-rank demonic beast.

By now, he understood their plan.

They casually found an excuse to beat Yao Qing out and chased after him, trying to use Yao Qing to lure the hidden human expert out.

The reason they did this was actually related to that bastard Emperor Wei Wu!

Zhou Shu had previously eavesdropped on Demon King Ao’s explanation to Hu Li. He had always thought that Emperor Wei Wu was the one who discovered the Demon Ancestor’s secret chamber. It turned out that Demon King Ao was behind it.

It seems that Demon King Ao wasn’t that smart. He had been tricked by Emperor Wei Wu, and now, he had come up with this damn idea.

It seemed that these demonic beasts had become a little stupid because they were born too powerful. Or rather, they couldn’t be bothered to use their brains…

While cursing in his heart, Zhou Shu didn’t stop moving.

Behind him, Tiangou and Liu’Er chased after him unhurriedly a hundred kilometers away. Occasionally, they would approach Zhou Shu and attack him, then they would distance themselves like cats chasing mice.

They didn’t take chasing after a first-rank demonic beast to heart at all. To them, chasing was just for show. They couldn’t kill Yao Qing right away.

…

In Hu Li’s territory, Hu Li panted heavily and looked at Demon King Ao with wide eyes. “Demon King Ao, today is my advancement ceremony. Is this how you congratulate me?”

“Hu Li, look at the big picture,” Demon King Ao said indifferently. “You’ve lost some face this time. We’ll give you some benefits later.”

The other Demon Kings agreed deeply. He’s just a new Demon King. We are all here for his advancement ceremony. Isn’t this giving him enough face?

He’s actually giving us attitude over a mere first-rank demonic beast. How ridiculous!

“Haha…” Hu Li suddenly laughed.

He laughed for a dozen breaths, almost to the point of tears.

“Demon King Ao! I, Hu Li, have served you for hundreds of years and have always treated you as my idol. You are the number one Demon King in the Demon Realm. Your strength is heaven-defying, and you are invincible!

“But it’s gone today! Never again!”

Hu Li suppressed his roar and said, “Yao Qing is my benefactor! Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today! I promised to protect him. You did this in front of all the demonic beasts at my advancement ceremony. If I, Hu Li, accept it peacefully, I won’t have any face left in the future!”

“Hu Li, are you crazy?” Demon King Ao frowned. “Sit down!”

“Why should I listen to you!” Hu Li shouted. “I, Hu Li, the thirteenth Demon King of the Demon Realm, am not Yao Li anymore! You have no right to criticize me anymore!”

“Bastard!” a Demon King berated. “Hu Li, do you think you have the right to speak to Demon King Ao like that just because you’ve become a Demon King?

“Hurry up and apologize and hand over your Demon King Palace!” the Demon King scolded Hu Li angrily.

Hu Li glanced at him sideways and sneered. “Do you think you’re worthy of being called a Demon King?

“I, Hu Li, disdain to be associated with you!

“We have nothing to lose. If we’re not convinced, we’ll fight! Demon King Ao, I’m not convinced! Today, I want to challenge you!”

Boom!

Hu Li’s body emitted a dazzling light.

His aura rose steadily. “Damn you for luring the snake out of its hole. You bastards, instead of thinking about how to deal with the enemy, you used the life of a first-rank demonic beast to play tricks here. Do you think you’re human?”

“Hu Li, are you crazy?” a few Demon Kings berated.

Demon King Ao’s expression was gloomy. He stared at Hu Li and said coldly, “On account that you served me for a hundred years, I’ll give you a chance. Take back what you just said and sit down obediently. I can pretend that nothing happened.”

“You can pretend nothing happened, but I can’t. If you don’t dare to fight, I’m leaving. I still have to protect Yao Qing!”
