Chapter 598: Are You Selling This Demon King Palace? (2)

Then without him moving, sharp sword beams shot out from the Demon King Palace. Although the power of the sword beams was not great and was only equivalent to a strike from a Grandmaster, they were dense, and tens of thousands had already slashed out in an instant.
This ability to defend and attack was a little flashy and impractical in the eyes of the Demon Kings, but its ability to soar intrigued them.
A palace in the skies, it was exciting just thinking about it.
Wouldn’t it be in line with their high and mighty status?
At this moment, all the Demon Kings wished they could have the same Demon King Palace!
“Also, this Demon King Palace can be enlarged and shrunk. It’s not a problem to bring it out.”
Zhou Shu raised his hand, and the Demon King Palace continued to shrink until it was the size of a palm. With a flip of his wrist, the Demon King Palace disappeared.
With another flip, the Demon King Palace reappeared.
The palm-sized Demon King Palace expanded as spiritual essence was injected. In an instant, it returned to its normal size and slowly landed on the flat ground at the mountaintop.
“Demon King Hu Li, please enter the palace!” Zhou Shu said loudly.
“Haha…” Hu Li was overjoyed. As expected, the Demon King Palace had indeed stunned these demonic beasts.
“Everyone, don’t stand on ceremony. Come into the hall with me. I’ll host a banquet here today.”
Hu Li strode into the palace.
The Demon Kings and Great Demons followed.
The palace looked dazzling from the outside, and after entering, the inside was just as resplendent.
Demon King Ao looked at the layout of the Demon King Palace. The more he looked, the more he liked it.
In the past, he had thought that his palace was not bad. Now, it was simply a slum.
As the number one Demon King of the Demon Realm, he should live here!
Seeing Hu Li walk towards the dragon throne in the middle of the hall, Demon King Ao could no longer hold back his thoughts. “Hu Li! I like this Demon King Palace very much. Give it to me. Whatever you want, just ask.”
Demon King Ao’s voice was not loud, and he deliberately restrained himself. Other than the nearby Demon Kings, the Great Demons and first-rank demonic beasts couldn’t hear him at all.
Hu Li stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Demon King Ao in disbelief.
He rubbed his ears as if he suspected he was hearing things.
“Demon King Ao, what did you say?” Hu Li said solemnly.
“Say, I like this Demon King Palace very much and want to buy it. Name any price you want. I won’t bargain,” Demon King Ao said again.
He exuded a proud aura. Hu Li had been his vassal in the past, and he had always treated Hu Li quite well. Even though Hu Li had become a Demon King now, he was still far inferior to Demon King Ao.
He didn’t think Hu Li would reject him.
“I’m not selling it!” Hu Li said through gritted teeth. “This is my Demon King Palace. It’s my life! I definitely won’t sell it!”
“Hu Li, you’re not giving me face?” Demon King Ao’s expression darkened as he frowned. “I won’t let you suffer. Just build another Demon King Palace in the future.”
“Demon King Ao, it’s not that I don’t want to give you face, but Yao Qing specially forged this Demon King Palace for me.” Hu Li straightened his neck. “If you want one, you can ask Yao Qing to help you build one. Why do you have to snatch mine?”
“I told you. I’m buying, not snatching.” Demon King Ao snorted coldly. “If I wanted to snatch it, do you think I would discuss it with you?”
He snorted coldly in his heart. After today, it’s uncertain if Yao Qing will still be alive. When the time comes, who will build another Demon King Palace?
“I won’t sell it either!” Hu Li said.
Demon King Ao stared at Hu Li and said in a deep voice, “I’ll double what you spent on building this Demon King Palace. In addition, I’ll teach you another Demon King divine power!”
“I don’t want it. I want my Demon King Palace!” Hu Li said.
Demon King Ao stared at Hu Li. After a moment, he snorted and stopped talking.
Seeing that Demon King Ao had been rejected, the other Demon Kings who had similar thoughts didn’t ask in order not to make a fool of themselves.
The Demon Kings sat down. Seeing that Demon King Ao didn’t continue, Hu Li secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Although he sounded tough just now, he was actually nervous.
This was Demon King Ao. Before he was a Demon King, he had worked under Demon King Ao.
Although he was also a Demon King now, he was still instinctively afraid of Demon King Ao.
If not for the fact that the Demon King Palace was his treasure, he wouldn’t have rejected Demon King Ao.
Now that Demon King Ao no longer mentioned it, everyone was happy.
“Start the banquet!” Hu Li quickly changed the topic, skipping the few segments he had prepared.
“Yao Qing, come here.”
The position of the Demon Kings was separate from that of the Great Demons.
After the banquet was over, Demon King Ao asked for Yao Qing.
Zhou Shu had actually been observing the Demon Kings. These were all powerful enemies that humans would have to face in the future.
He had long noticed Demon King Ao.
In Zhou Shu’s perception, Demon King Ao was clearly more than one level more terrifying than the other Demon Kings.
He was almost certain that with his current cultivation, he was definitely not Demon King Ao’s match. It was the same even if he used his divine ability Total Annihilation.
Although he had long thought of this possibility, he was still somewhat shocked when he saw how powerful Demon King Ao was.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that after this matter was over, he should just obediently be a forger and forge divine weapons to accumulate strength.
Zhou Shu composed himself and came in front of the Demon Kings. “Greetings, my lords.”
He had long received news from Hu Li and was already prepared for what the Demon Kings wanted to do. However, he still pretended to know nothing on the surface.
“What are your orders, Lord?” Zhou Shu said.
“You’re Yao Qing? Your mother is Yao Wenxin, and your father is Ji Lutian?” Demon King Ao sized up Zhou Shu.
“That’s right.” Zhou Shu endured the discomfort.
“Very good.” Demon King Ao nodded. “Let me ask you. Are you a human or a demon?”
“I’m Yao Qing, a demonic beast,” Zhou Shu said without hesitation.
“Alright, since you admit that you’re a demonic beast, let me ask you again. Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for the Demon Realm?” Demon King Ao continued.
“For the Demon Realm?” This time, Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment, as if he was seriously thinking about it. “If necessary, I’m willing! I was born and raised in the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm is my home—”
“Since you’re willing, go to hell,” Demon King Ao interrupted.
Before Zhou Shu could finish speaking, Demon King Ao raised his hand, and a golden light hit Zhou Shu’s chest, sending him flying.
“Demon King Ao!” Hu Li shouted. He didn’t expect Demon King Ao to attack so suddenly. This was different from what Tiangou and the others had said.
Seeing Zhou Shu being sent out of the Demon King Palace by Demon King Ao and falling down the mountain, Hu Li jumped up and was about to save Zhou Shu.
“Sit down, Hu Li,” Demon King Ao said coldly. A huge aura directly forced Hu Li back.
Hu Li’s face flushed red. But even though he was also a Demon King, Demon King Ao’s powerful aura still made it difficult for him to break free.
“Tiangou, Liu’Er,” Demon King Ao said indifferently.
Tiangou and Liu’Er nodded at the same time. With a flash, they chased after Zhou Shu.
“Stop! Bastards! You promised me it was just an act. You said you wouldn’t hurt Yao Qing!” Hu Li shouted angrily.
This sudden change stunned all the Great Demons and first-rank demonic beasts present.
What’s going on?
Why does Demon King Ao want to kill Yao Qing?
Yao Qing can’t die. If he dies, where is our hope of breaking through?
But this is Demon King Ao. Who can stop him?
All the demonic beasts fell into a dilemma.
