“Demon Ancestor? Isn’t he dead?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.
This wasn’t the first time he had heard of the name Demon Ancestor. He had even been to the so-called Demon Ancestor’s secret chamber before.
But someone had already emptied the Demon Ancestor’s secret chamber, making Zhou Shu’s trip in vain.
The only gain should have been killing Emperor Wei Wu.
He just didn’t know if Emperor Wei Wu had really died this time or if he would be able to revive like before.
Now that he heard Yao Buqi mention the Demon Ancestor, Zhou Shu was a little interested.
It was said that the Demon Ancestor had a son with the human race. His son was born useless and was a great template for a protagonist.
But there seemed to be very few legends about the Demon Ancestor in the Demon Realm. Ordinary demonic beasts didn’t even know about the existence of the Demon Ancestor.
Only those with a certain cultivation and status were qualified to know about the Demon Ancestor.
“No demonic beast can tell if the Demon Ancestor is dead or alive,” Yao Buqi said. “Of course, maybe I’m not qualified to know.
“But it’s not important. The life and death of the Demon Ancestor have nothing to do with us. King Zhou, I just want to tell you that if the selection of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm is really held at the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, then the possibility of you fighting in my place will be completely gone.
“You can’t go to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court.”
Yao Buqi was full of concerns. He had taken a huge risk to cooperate with Zhou Shu, but in the end, he hadn’t benefited at all.
This made him even consider betraying the human army and exchanging some benefits with the Demon Kings.
But the thought only flashed through his mind.
He really didn’t dare to do that.
Zhou Shu was a very strange person. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Yao Buqi really didn’t dare to offend him.
“I know what you’re worried about.” Zhou Shu patted Yao Buqi’s shoulder and said indifferently, “I’m a fair person. If you cooperate with me, I won’t let you suffer.
“Since I promised to make you the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, I will naturally do it.
“Tell me about the Demon Realm Ancestral Court first. Also, tell me more about the Demon Ancestor. I’ll think about how to help you become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.”
Yao Buqi was a demonic beast with some status in the Demon Realm. He had a lot of secret information.
He didn’t treat the matter of the Demon Realm Ancestral Court and the Demon Ancestor as top secret. Moreover, this concerned whether he could become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, so he didn’t hide it.
Listening to Yao Buqi’s story, Zhou Shu fell into deep thought.
According to Yao Buqi, the Demon Realm Ancestral Court was the first place in which demonic beasts were enlightened. Only the Demon Kings knew its exact location.
In Zhou Shu’s opinion, it was very likely a grotto-heaven.
Or rather, the demonic beast enlightenment that Yao Buqi mentioned was actually the place where demonic beasts reached the Demon King realm.
It was said that in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, there were secrets of the origin of demonic beasts, as well as opportunities for demonic beasts to attain their Dao. In short, it was a very mysterious place.
As for the Demon Ancestor, Yao Buqi knew very little. He only knew that the Demon Ancestor was the first demonic beast in the world and the most powerful demonic beast since ancient times.
If the Demon Ancestor hadn’t suddenly disappeared, the current situation in the Demon Realm wouldn’t be like this.
“It’s said that the Demon Ancestor has a son. Do you know where he is?” Zhou Shu asked thoughtfully.
Surprise flashed across Yao Buqi’s face. The Demon Ancestor having a son was a scandal in the Demon Realm, and only a few demonic beasts knew about it. How did he know?
Yao Buqi’s fear of Zhou Shu intensified. The more he interacted with this man, the more terrified he felt.
Very few demonic beasts in the Demon Realm knew about the Demon Ancestor. He actually knew about it. Not only that, but he also knew about the secret that the Demon Ancestor had a son.
Even Yao Buqi had only recently learned of this news by chance. He really couldn’t understand how Zhou Shu knew about this.
“It’s said…” Yao Buqi looked around and said softly, “It’s said that back then, the Demon Ancestor mysteriously disappeared, and then a war broke out in the Demon Realm. At that time, there were more than twelve Demon Kings in the Demon Realm. That chaotic war almost destroyed the entire Demon Realm, and countless Demon Kings died.
“Otherwise, Demon King Ao probably wouldn’t have become the number one Demon King in the Demon Realm. The son of the Demon Ancestor disappeared during the chaotic war. Some said he was dead, while others said he was hiding.
“In any case, no demonic beasts in the Demon Realm have seen him since then.
“I also heard that he has a big secret. Whoever can find him will become the master of the Demon Realm…”
Yao Buqi didn’t believe his last sentence. The Demon Realm respected strength. Not to mention the son of the Demon Ancestor, even if the Demon Ancestor came back to life, if he wasn’t strong enough, he wouldn’t be able to become the master of the Demon Realm.
“Missing?” Zhou Shu pondered. “He’s gone missing. Where’s his mother?”
“His mother is the Demon Ancestor,” Yao Buqi said doubtfully.
“Mm?” Zhou Shu frowned. “You’re saying that the Demon Ancestor is female?”
He was really surprised. The legendary first demonic beast in the world was female?
Didn’t this mean that there was also a fierce warrior like Ji Lutian back then…
Zhou Shu’s expression became very strange. It turned out that Ji Lutian wasn’t the only one who dared to marry a demonic beast.
