Yang Hong and Yao Qing could clearly see that the phantom that flew out of Tang Tang's body looked like a palm.
Zhou Shu snorted. "If your main body was here, you could still exchange a few moves with me. But you're just a phantom. How dare you appear in front of me? You're simply courting death!"
The Celestial Thearch Sword transformed into a sword beam and slashed over. The Seven Swords of Heaven Interception, Seeing the Dao through Me!
The illusory palm had already been slashed into nothingness by the sword beam when it was still several meters away from Zhou Shu.
There seemed to be a furious roar echoing in the air, and the grotto-heaven began to collapse.
Yang Hong's and Yao Qing's expressions changed.
"Take Tang Tang and leave this place first."
Zhou Shu snorted coldly. It was really not satisfying to kill merely a phantom!
He didn't know when he would be able to slay the true form of the gigantic hand. If he could eliminate the enemy from beyond the heavens, he would truly be able to sit back and relax!
Unfortunately, Ji Lutian and Bai Qianqian didn't say where they had lured the gigantic hand!
I hope nothing happens to those two. Zhou Shu sighed and carried the Qingqiu King away from the grotto-heaven.
Yang Hong and Yao Qing didn't dare to delay. They grabbed Tang Tang, who had become like a rag doll, and followed Zhou Shu out of the grotto-heaven.
This small grotto-heaven kept shattering and shrinking, and finally, it turned into pure space and returned to the world.
On a mountain peak, Zhou Shu and the other two landed one after another.
As soon as they landed, Yao Qing couldn't help shouting, "King Zhou, you still haven't explained to me! Why do you say she's my mother?!"
The grotto-heaven was already gone, but he had yet to save his mother.
Previously, Zhou Shu had insisted that this unfamiliar woman was his mother. This was something that Yao Qing found difficult to accept.
Although this woman was much prettier than his mother, Yao Wenxin, it was not about whether she was pretty or not.
"Because she's your biological mother," Zhou Shu said indifferently. "Yao Wenxin is not your biological mother. She was only sent to your father's side to monitor him.
"Yao Qing, your father is Ji Lutian, and your mother is her, the Demon Ancestor. And you are the son of the Demon Ancestor."
"I'm the son of the Demon Ancestor?" Yao Qing sneered. "King Zhou, do you think I'm a fool? The son of the Demon Ancestor has been dead for more than a thousand years. How can I be the son of the Demon Ancestor?"
"Even if you want to lie to me, you have to find a better reason, okay? I'm definitely not the son of the Demon Ancestor!"
Yao Qing spoke firmly and confidently.
Any demonic beast in the Demon Realm knew that the Demon Ancestor had disappeared a thousand years ago. At that time, the son of the Demon Ancestor had already been born.
He was not even two hundred years old yet. How could he have anything to do with the Demon Ancestor?
"I'm just stating a fact. Whether you believe it or not is up to you." Zhou Shu had no intention of explaining further.
He turned to look at Yang Hong. "Yang Hong, I need a quiet and safe place. Is there one?"
The Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven was a good place, but he had just obtained it. Everything was uncertain, and it wasn't safe enough.
Before he checked the people inside the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven, it was hard to guarantee that there wasn't anyone from the Tang family still inside.
If Zhou Shu wanted to save the Demon Ancestor, there couldn't be any accidents. Any accident could lead to her death.
If she died, he would be letting Ji Lutian down.
No matter what, Ji Lutian's efforts for so many years shouldn't result in such an outcome.
"Somewhere safe enough…" Yang Hong pondered. "Does Great Wei count? Great Wei now has a million elite soldiers and us brothers."
Yang Hong didn't know what Zhou Shu wanted to do, but with Zhou Shu's current strength, since he said so, it meant that there was definitely a risk, and the risk wasn't small.
He could only think of his brothers.
Sun Gongping, Xiao Jianghe, Mi Ziwen, Meng Bai, Zhang San, Yin Wuyou, Lu Wenshuang, and the brothers of the Huaxia Pavilion would all protect Zhou Shu to the death.
And they were all people they could absolutely trust.
Zhou Shu shook his head. If he wanted to save the Demon Ancestor, the enemy from beyond the heavens would definitely not sit back and do nothing.
The main body of the enemy was indeed being restrained by Ji Lutian and Bai Qianqian.
But just as he could control Tang Tang and the Demon Ancestor, the demonic beasts of the entire Demon Realm were his pawns.
It was very likely to start another war between humans and demonic beasts.
The rare balance between the human race and the Demon Realm was about to be broken.
Zhou Shu was the strongest currently, but he alone couldn't resolve the problem of demonic beasts.
Therefore, the human race still had to continue accumulating strength.
If war broke out now, the human race would only suffer heavy casualties.
If he wanted to save the Demon Ancestor, the enemy from beyond the heavens would definitely interfere. In that case, he could only put this battlefield outside the territory of the human race.
For example…
The Demon Realm Ancestral Court!
Zhou Shu looked at Yao Qing and asked. "Yao Qing, if all the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm attack the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, how long can you hold them off?"
"What?" Yao Qing didn't understand.
"Do you need me to repeat myself?" Zhou Shu said calmly.
"All the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm…" Yao Qing pondered. "If the Demon Emperors can really mobilize all the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm to attack the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, we can at most last for four to six hours."
Although Yao Qing said this, he didn't think that this would happen.
After all, the Demon Realm Ancestral Court had existed for more than a year or two.
After so many years, it wasn't like the Demon Emperors hadn't tried to attack the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.
But the Demon Emperors were not on the same side to begin with. They couldn't gather all the power in the Demon Realm at once.
As for sporadic forces, the Demon Realm Ancestral Court was not to be trifled with.
