Chapter 655: Instigating Hu Li, The Missing Demon King (2)

Seeing the hesitation on Hu Li’s face, Zhou Shu continued, “In the end, Demon King Ao and the other Demon Kings don’t care about the lives of ordinary demonic beasts at all. Even though you’re a Demon King now, when have they ever treated you as an equal?

“Why do they want to invade the Ten Nations Continent but don’t tell you the truth? Now, just because they suspected you of colluding with humans, they issued a wanted order on a dignified Demon King like you. Is this how a Demon King should be treated?

“I’m afraid Demon King Ao and the others still treat you as a Great Demon and treat you as an underling that they can summon at will!”

Zhou Shu’s words made Hu Li furious.

!!

That’s right. Liu’Er and the other bastards didn’t treat him as a Demon King at all!

“Even so, I won’t betray the Demon Realm—”

“Hu Li, don’t you understand? Not listening to the orders of Demon King Ao and the other Demon Kings is not considered betraying the Demon Realm.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “The humans of the Ten Nations have never thought of invading the Demon Realm.”

Zhou Shu said seriously, “We’re not enemies of the Demon Realm. We’re just enemies of Demon King Ao and the other Demon Kings with ulterior motives! You are not a vassal of Demon King Ao and the others, so you and I are not enemies!”

Hu Li was confused. He felt that there was nothing wrong with Zhou Shu’s logic, but he didn’t know if it was right or wrong. It was too complicated, and he couldn’t figure it out.

“We humans have a saying. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

“Now that you’re wanted by Demon King Ao and the others, and we are also surrounded by them, we’re natural allies.”

Zhou Shu continued, “Think about it carefully. Isn’t this the truth?

“You’re resisting the hegemony of Demon King Ao and the others. You’re the hero of the Demon Realm. How can you say that you’ve betrayed the Demon Realm?”

Zhou Shu’s voice was full of bewitchment as he looked at Demon King Ao. “If you want to discover the truth and do something for the other demonic beasts in the Demon Realm, you need my help.”

“Yes, I’m unhappy with the dictatorship of Demon King Ao, Tiangou, and Liu’Er. I’m not betraying the Demon Realm,” Hu Li muttered to himself. “We demonic beasts are not tools for them to use. We are not demonic beasts they can kill and beat as they please.

“Even if I cooperate with the humans, it’s not betraying the Demon Realm!”

The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that Hu Li was about to figure it out.

“That’s not right!” Hu Li suddenly raised his head and stared straight at Zhou Shu. “What are you trying to do by saying so much?

“I don’t believe Demon King Ao and the others, nor will I believe you. You humans are the most cunning! Who knows what your goal is!”

Hu Li stared at Zhou Shu and said loudly, “On account of the past, I won’t kill you this time. You can leave!

“I don’t need the help of you humans to do anything! I’m Demon King Hu Li. There’s nothing I can’t do!”

“In that case, forget it.” Zhou Shu smiled. “I said so much only because I treat you as a friend. I don’t have any ulterior motives.

“Demon King Hu Li, I think you understand now. Demon King Ao and the others must have some shady motive for ordering the Demon Realm army to invade the Ten Nations Continent. I only hope that you won’t be used by them and make some unnecessary sacrifices.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re unwilling to cooperate with me. Take care.

“If you encounter a problem you can’t solve, or if you’re at a dead end, my door is always open to you.

“At that time, Demon King Hu Li, remember that you still have a human friend.”

With that, Zhou Shu turned around and left. With his back facing Hu Li, he raised his hand and threw something out.

The thing turned into a stream of light and shot toward Hu Li.

Hu Li subconsciously caught it and looked down. It was a small porcelain bottle.

“You’re injured. There are healing pills here.” Zhou Shu’s voice came from afar. “Take care!”

Zhou Shu led Yin Chengshan and Zhang San away.

Hu Li held the porcelain bottle in his hand with a complicated expression.

“Human, friend,” He muttered to himself, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

…

Boom!

Liu’Er landed on the ground from the sky, creating a deep pit.

He clutched his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes darkened.

He looked at a figure covered in a black robe in front of him in horror and shouted, “Who are you?!”

“Liu’Er, don’t try to stall for time.” The figure shrouded in the black robe spoke. His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, without any emotion.

“I’ve already sealed everything within a fifty-kilometer radius. No demonic beasts will know what happens here, nor will any commotion spread.”

The black-robed man continued, “No matter how much you scream, no demonic beast will save you.”

“You…” Liu’Er was shocked and furious.

He had just fought with Hu Li and consumed more than half of his spiritual essence. In the end, he was suddenly ambushed by this black-robed man.

This black-robed man’s cultivation was extremely high. He had been heavily injured by him and was no match for him at all.

When did such an expert appear in the Demon Realm?!

The black-robed man looked up at the sky and said, “It’s about time. Liu’Er, stop resisting. It’s useless!”

He raised his hand, and with a bang, light shone in the air. A ninety-foot-tall tower descended from the sky and suppressed Liu’Er.

Liu’Er’s expression changed drastically. He roared angrily, and light exploded from his body. His body was instantly covered in yellow-brown fur, and his body began to grow at a visible speed.

But before he could grow larger, the pagoda had already smashed into his head.

Liu’Er saw stars. A light emitted from under the pagoda and completely enveloped him.

He resisted with all his might, but he was still led by the light toward the pagoda.

After an hour, Liu’Er finally couldn’t resist and was sucked into the pagoda.

The black-robed man seemed to wipe his sweat. He raised his hand, and the pagoda turned into a stream of light that returned to his hand. Then with a flash of light, the pagoda disappeared.

The black-robed man made a soft sound and disappeared in an instant.

At the same time, within a hundred kilometers, a light shield invisible to the naked eye quietly shattered.

Not long after the black-robed man disappeared, Zhou Shu suddenly appeared where the black-robed man had fought with Liu’Er.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Zhou Shu frowned slightly.

His gaze fell on the smear of blood on the ground. His expression changed slightly as he raised his hand and beckoned.

The blood on the ground flew into his hand. His eyes flashed, and his divine sense landed on the blood.

The blood of a Demon King…

It’s Liu’Er. Who injured him?

Zhou Shu looked around. There was no aura of any demonic beasts around. He frowned in thought. Liu’Er isn’t an ordinary demonic beast. He’s a Demon King. Who in the Demon Realm could hurt him?

Is it him?

Zhou Shu was deep in thought. The next moment, he looked up into the distance. A few powerful auras were approaching. With a flash, Zhou Shu disappeared.
