“Pavilion Master, have you dealt with the enemies?”
Seeing Zhou Shu nod, Shi Songtao heaved a sigh of relief and ran to Zhou Shu’s side.
Shi Songtao was already used to Zhou Shu’s transformations.
“I can’t solve it.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Pack up. We need to move again.”
!!
Zhou Shu sighed. He was determined to forge a grotto-heaven divine weapon later!
The Tiger Soul Saber had been taken away by Bai Qianqian, and the Demon Realm Ancestral Court had become a place he couldn’t stay for long. Moving his forging materials became another problem.
The space in Cosmic Bangles was too small to store much. If not for Shi Songtao and the others, Zhou Shu would have had a headache about how to take away the forging materials.
“Move? Isn’t this a good place? The enemy is gone. We can stay here,” Shi Songtao said shamelessly.
“We can’t stay here.” Zhou Shu shook his head.
The Demon Realm Ancestral Court had been stirred up by Wang Xuanyi and was no longer hidden. Even Bai Qianqian had given up on this place. How could they occupy it now?
If the Demon Realm army attacked later, would they forgers be able to stop them?
Zhou Shu felt that it was a pity to give up on such a good forging place.
Shi Songtao nodded. Since Zhou Shu said that they couldn’t occupy this place, then they definitely couldn’t. He trusted Zhou Shu unconditionally.
“Then, are we going back to Great Xia now?”
“Unfortunately, we can’t go back to Great Xia now either,” Zhou Shu said helplessly.
Previously, he had used the world in the Tiger Soul Saber to bring Shi Songtao and the others over.
Now that the Tiger Soul Saber was gone, Zhou Shu wasn’t a Grotto-Heaven realm expert, and Shi Songtao and the others didn’t have a single combatant, Zhou Shu wasn’t confident that he could lead more than ten non-combatant forgers back to the Ten Nations Continent from the Demon Realm.
“What do you mean?” Shi Songtao was only surprised for a moment and didn’t have any other reaction.
Forgers like them had experienced countless battles with the Ten Nations Alliance back then. Weren’t they just trapped in the Demon Realm?
It wasn’t like they hadn’t been trapped before.
It was no big deal.
“Pavilion Master, where are we going now?” Shi Songtao asked. There was only one principle—following in the footsteps of the pavilion master. This would definitely be right.
“The Two Region Mountain,” Zhou Shu said seriously.
…
The Two Region Mountain was a connate divine weapon. Before it was activated, it was an ordinary mountain.
The place where the Demon King of the Demon Realm had torn a gap in the barrier between the two worlds was where the Two Region Mountain was.
The place where the Two Region Mountain was originally located was where the barrier between the two worlds was relatively weak.
Later, when the barrier was torn open, Ji Lutian and the Demon King had fought. No humans and demonic beasts seemed to have cared where the Two Region Mountain had actually gone.
Zhou Shu didn’t pay much attention to it at the time either. But after thinking about it, he felt that it was very likely that the Two Region Mountain had been taken away by someone. No, it should have been taken away by a demonic beast.
Yao Buqi, the demonic beast that the Two Region Mountain had acknowledged as its master, had never appeared on the battlefield.
Now that he couldn’t stay in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court anymore, and he couldn’t bring Shi Songtao and the others back to the Ten Nations Continent for the time being, then he could cooperate with Yao Buqi.
Not long after Zhou Shu, Shi Songtao, and the other forgers left the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, a few powerful auras descended from the sky.
If they had left a moment later, they might have been trapped inside.
…
“Silence!”
Somewhere in the Demon Realm, Zhou Shu pressed his palm down, indicating for everyone to be quiet.
Everyone restrained their auras and became a little nervous.
The current Demon Realm was even more dangerous than before.
And their strength was far inferior to when they were trapped in the Demon Realm the last time.
At the time, they had at least 30,000 troops. Now, there were only a dozen or so forgers.
In the distance, a group of demonic beast soldiers passed by. Only when they were far away did everyone heave a sigh of relief.
“Pavilion Master, what’s wrong with those demonic beasts?” Shi Songtao asked softly.
Zhou Shu shook his head and didn’t say anything else.
His expression was incomparably solemn. According to the information he had obtained from Bai Qianqian and Shi Changsheng, the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm were all controlled by Heaven. Now that Heaven was gradually awakening, the heavenly slaves were patrolling, which was why the demonic beasts had become like this.
Along the way, all the demonic beasts they encountered were like walking corpses, completely devoid of self-awareness.
Once, Zhou Shu saw Tiangou from afar. Tiangou still retained his consciousness, but he looked much more violent than before.
In order to avoid attracting attention, Zhou Shu stayed far away and didn’t get into a conflict with them.
Demon Kings can still have their own consciousness. Demonic beasts below the Demon King realm seem to have already become puppets.
Zhou Shu frowned while pondering. An army of demonic beasts that had completely become puppets and were unafraid of death and unaware of pain, how terrifying was this?
It was no wonder the grotto-heavens were so nervous about the invasion of the Demon Realm army even with their strength.
Compared to the demonic beasts that had lost their consciousness, the invasion of the Demon Realm army in the past was like a game. It wasn’t worth the grotto-heavens taking action at all.
Yao Buqi’s cultivation isn’t high. Could he have become a puppet and lost his consciousness? That would be troublesome, Zhou Shu thought.
“Pavilion Master?” Shi Songtao called out in a low voice, waking Zhou Shu up from his thoughts.
Shi Songtao pointed ahead and whispered, “Over there.”
...
Following Shi Songtao’s finger, Zhou Shu looked forward and saw a mountain moving furtively in the distance.
That’s right. This mountain gave off a sneaky feeling.
At first, Zhou Shu thought that he had seen it wrongly. After staring at it for a long time, he indeed discovered that it was slowly moving.
Zhou Shu smiled. He knew that Yao Buqi wouldn’t die so easily.
“It looks like we have a place to stay.” Zhou Shu said.
Not long after, Zhou Shu led everyone to the front of the sneaky mountain.
The mountain was the Two Region Mountain, but it seemed to be much shorter than before. Connate divine weapons had the ability to change size, so it wasn’t strange.
“Yao Buqi, an old friend is visiting. How long are you going to hide?” Zhou Shu said.
“King Zhou! Can you lower your voice?!” Yao Buqi’s voice came from the Two Region Mountain. Then he appeared halfway up the mountain and waved at Zhou Shu. “Hurry up and come in! If you alarm the other demonic beasts, we’ll all die!”
Yao Buqi looked nervous.
Zhou Shu smiled lightly and led Shi Songtao and the others onto the mountain.
...
As soon as they stepped onto the Two Region Mountain, they felt a faint light rise from it and envelop the entire mountain.
From the outside, the entire mountain looked ordinary.
“Yao Buqi, long time no see.” Zhou Shu could sense that the Two Region Mountain was similar to a grotto-heaven, completely isolating the aura inside and outside. It was very interesting.
“King Zhou, why are you still in the Demon Realm? Haven’t you already fought your way back to the human world?” Yao Buqi frowned, not at all happy to meet an old friend.
“Can’t I come back here after going back?” Zhou Shu said casually. “Yao Buqi, you’re the Holy Son of the Demon Realm. What are you doing so sneakily?”
“Don’t mention the Holy Son of the Demon Realm!” Yao Buqi sighed. “There’s no Demon Realm now. Do you know that those demonic beasts have all gone crazy?!”
“Oh?”
“If I hadn’t stayed on Two Region Mountain, I would probably have become like them and gone crazy! All they know is blood and slaughter. They’re no different from wild beasts!”
Yao Buqi said expectantly, “King Zhou, if I want to join you humans, will you accept me? Although my cultivation isn’t high, it’s not too bad, right? I can even mine!”
