1141 King of Men Seal, Adding Insult to Injury (1)
“I came to the human race to find him.” Yao Qing pointed at Yang Hong. “Unfortunately, the King of Men is elusive. It wasn’t easy for a demonic beast like me to see him.”
Yao Qing seemed to be mocking Yang Hong, but he was expressionless, and his tone didn’t fluctuate. It made people feel exceptionally uncomfortable.
Zhou Shu frowned. In the past, Yao Qing wasn’t like this. What kind of stimulation did he suffer?
“Why are you looking for me? I didn’t offend you, did I?” Yang Hong said angrily.
He had been the King of Men for many years, so he more or less had a temper. Yao Qing spoke to him in such a sarcastic manner. How could he indulge in his behavior?
If not for the fact that Yao Qing was an old acquaintance, Yang Hong would have long taught him a lesson.
“You didn’t offend me,” Yao Qing said seriously. “But you took something you shouldn’t have. It’s time to return it.”
“I took something I shouldn’t have?” Yang Hong was so angry that he laughed. “Are you trying to say that I took something from you?
“Let me think about it. Right, it should be like this. You, Yao Qing, have an ancestral treasure that you accidentally lost. No, no, you didn’t lose it. You didn’t hide it well and let a despicable person like me steal it. Is this story right?
“Now, can you tell everyone what I, the despicable villain, stole from you?”
The others shook their heads.
They knew very well what kind of person Yang Hong was. Not to mention that he was now the King of Men, even back then, he was a divine constable of the Divine Constable Bureau. He was someone who caught thieves. How could he be a thief?
Moreover, ever since the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament began, Yang Hong had been following Zhou Shu. He was the only person who had ever obtained Zhou Shu’s divine ability Unparalleled Benevolence. As Zhou Shu’s favorite, Yang Hong was the first to possess a connate divine weapon.
Wasn’t it nonsense to accuse such a person of stealing someone else’s things?
Everyone felt that Yao Qing was crazy.
“I didn’t say you stole anything.” Yao Qing shook his head. “I expressed it wrongly. That thing doesn’t belong to you.”
Yao Qing said in a deep voice, “Yang Hong, you’ve been the King of Men for so long. It’s enough. If you become attached to it, it won’t be a good thing for you.”
As soon as he said this, the mocking expression on Yang Hong’s face suddenly disappeared.
He looked at Yao Qing solemnly. “What are you trying to say?”
Zhou Shu also heard that something was wrong. So many things had happened before, so he hadn’t really had time to ask how Yang Hong became the King of Men.
The King of Men title was not just a title like Xiao Jianghe’s King of War or Wang Xin’s Overlord. Not everyone could become the King of Men.
From what Yao Qing said, Yang Hong had become the King of Men because he had obtained something, and this thing seemed to be related to Yao Qing.
Yao Qing…
Yao Qing is Ji Lutian’s son.
Ji Lutian…
Countless pieces of information flashed through Zhou Shu’s mind.
Ji Lutian was not an ordinary person. If he wasn’t wrong, it was very likely that Ji Lutian had lived since ancient times.
Although Zhou Shu wasn’t sure how he had done it, he had done it. There was no doubt about it.
When Ji Lutian chose to stay in the past and didn’t return to the present with him, it was for one person.
The Qingqiu King of the qingqiu race!
She was also Bai Qianqian’s biological sister!
Under such circumstances, it really didn’t make sense for Ji Lutian to have a son with someone else.
But Yao Qing’s mother was a genuine demonic beast. There was no doubt about this.
Could the Qingqiu King have reincarnated and become a demonic beast?
Reincarnation was constructed with the Reincarnation Mirror as the foundation and the will of the world. Even Zhou Shu couldn’t interfere.
Back then, some people from the ancient races might have been able to enter the cycle of reincarnation, but Zhou Shu had no idea who they would become.
If Ji Lutian had found the reincarnation of the Qingqiu King and had a son with her, it would make sense.
Ji Lutian had lived from ten thousand years ago to the present, and then he had developed the Divine Dao, although his Divine Dao had already been destroyed.
Could Yang Hong becoming the King of Men have something to do with Ji Lutian?
“Let’s not beat around the bush. Are you sure you want me to say it?” Yao Qing said.
“Haha, everyone here is my lifelong friend. I, Yang Hong, have nothing to hide.” Yang Hong sneered. “If you have anything to say, you can just say it.”
“Very well,” Yao Qing said. An almost imperceptible envy flashed in the depths of his eyes as he continued, “Then, I won’t beat around the bush.
“The King of Men Seal was forged by my father. Previously, it was your luck for you to obtain it. But now, I need to use it to do something.
“So, I’m sorry, but I’m taking away the King of Men Seal.”
“King of Men Seal?” Zhou Shu was puzzled.
“Your Highness, I haven’t had the chance to tell you about this. It’s not a secret. All the brothers know, and even the Grotto-Heaven Masters know,” Yang Hong said to Zhou Shu.
“This matter is very simple. The King of Men Seal is a divine weapon forged by Ji Lutian that can absorb the providence of the human race. Through it, I can borrow the power of all humans, just like cultivating Ji Lutian’s Divine Dao.
“It’s precisely because I obtained the recognition of the King of Men Seal that I became the King of Men. The Grotto-Heaven Masters were afraid that I would fight them to the death, so they held back and acknowledged me as the King of Men.”
Yang Hong smiled bitterly. “But they’ve never really taken me seriously. Even if I really used the King of Men Seal to fight with my life, I would likely die.
“Actually, I don’t know why the King of Men Seal chose me. But since there are benefits that can disgust the Grotto-Heaven Masters, I accepted it.”
Yang Hong continued, “Yao Qing, I don’t object to you wanting to take away the King of Men Seal, but can you take it away?”
He spread out his hands. “If the King of Men Seal is unwilling, even the Grotto-Heaven Masters can’t take it away. If you have the ability to take it away, I can’t be bothered to be the useless King of Men.”
