883 Gaining Thirty Years For the Human Race (2)

Ao Guang nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Zhou Shu’s voice.

“That’s not a lot of material. Make the quantity ten times what he said. I’ll let you go once we receive the materials,” Zhou Shu said. “Once I get them, you’ll be free.”

Gruu!

Ao Guang finally couldn’t take it anymore and spat out a mouthful of blood. Ten times the quantity?

The quantity Ji Lutian mentioned only made Ao Guang’s heart ache slightly, but he could still take them out after gritting his teeth. But after the quantity increased by ten times, it would no longer be a matter of gritting his teeth. It would be cutting off his flesh!

“Stop pretending. If you can’t afford these things, that’s fine. You can replace them with some of your body parts,” Zhou Shu said. “Your horns are gone, but your dragon tendon and scales are not bad. I heard that the tendon of a true dragon can grow back after being extracted. I wonder if it’s true. Why don’t we give it a try?”

“I’ll give them to you!” Ao Guang gritted his teeth. The intense hatred in his tone couldn’t be washed away even with all the water in the world.

As long as there’s life, there’s hope. I’ll settle this score with you sooner or later!

Even if I give you these forging materials, it doesn’t mean you can take them away!

Naive!

Bastard, you’re valuing wealth over your life. As long as I regain my freedom, I’ll immediately gather the Demon Realm army to surround you. Anyway, this is the Demon Realm, so I’m not breaking my oath!

A thousand ways to kill Zhou Shu flashed through Ao Guang’s mind. When he thought of killing Zhou Shu, a sinister smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Ji Lutian found it very strange. Why is Ao Guang smiling? Could he have been provoked into madness?

Or is it that he wants too little? Even though it’s ten times the original amount, he feels that it’s too little?

Ji Lutian was at a loss and admired Zhou Shu in his heart. He had indeed been too conservative. Look, Zhou Shu had asked for ten times more, and Ao Guang actually agreed!

How much wealth was this? It was several times more than the half storehouse that Zhou Shu had won from the bet in the Sima Grotto-Heaven.

Even Ji Lutian was a little envious. Unfortunately, he didn’t do much to kidnap Ao Guang, so he was naturally too embarrassed to share the benefits.

After this battle, King Zhou will probably become the richest person in the human race, Ji Lutian thought. If not for the fact that it wasn’t appropriate to expose Zhou Shu’s identity, gaining the human race an additional 30 years would have given him the title of the greatest contributor to humankind.

He wondered what kind of expression Ao Guang would have when he found out that this man who had kidnapped and extorted him was Zhou Shu, who he had once forced the human race to hand over in front of the two armies.

“I can give you the things, but I need some time to prepare them,” Ao Guang said coldly. “I’ll get the demonic beasts to send the things over. Don’t be too anxious.”

“What a joke. We’re anxious? Ao Guang, Ao Guang, you’d better not play any tricks. Otherwise, you’ll be the one who suffers in the end.” Zhou Shu patted Ao Guang’s cheek.

Ao Guang endured the humiliation while thinking, I’ll let you be arrogant for a while. Let’s see how long you can be arrogant!

When you fall into my hands, I will return the humiliation I’ve suffered a thousand times over!

Ji Lutian glanced at Ao Guang and then sent a voice transmission. “King Zhou, how are you going to take away so many forging materials?”

“Don’t you have the Demon Subduing Pagoda? If I remember correctly, the Demon Subduing Pagoda should be a grotto-heaven divine weapon, right?” Zhou Shu sent a voice transmission back. “Help me store the materials. Return them to me when we return to the human world. My Celestial Thearch Sword doesn’t have an inner world yet, so I can’t store them.”

“I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about how you plan to escape from the Demon Realm!” Ji Lutian’s expression was solemn. “You don’t think Ao Guang will let us return to the human world with these things, do you? Why don’t you add another condition?”

“Mr. Ji, you have to give others some hope. Otherwise, won’t they fight us to the death?” The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly. “If not for this opportunity to take revenge, do you think Ao Guang would be so cooperative?”

Ji Lutian frowned. He naturally understood what Zhou Shu was saying. If not for the fact that Ao Guang could take revenge, he wouldn’t have agreed to Zhou Shu’s request so easily.

Ao Guang was likely thinking that after paying the ransom, he would be able to take it back very quickly, so it didn’t matter how much it was.

But when the time came, how would the two of them get away?

There were demonic beasts everywhere. Once Ao Guang was freed, he would definitely kill the two of them at all costs. Ji Lutian thought about it over and over again, but he couldn’t figure out how Zhou Shu was going to escape.

Even if they went back on their word and didn’t let Ao Guang go or even killed him, the two of them had no hope of escaping.

It was impossible for the two of them to deal with the demonic beasts of the entire Demon Realm.

Ji Lutian couldn’t figure out how they could escape from the encirclement of the demonic beasts.

This might be the closest he had come to death in thousands of years, but it was also the most relaxed he had been in thousands of years. This contradictory feeling made him feel that something was wrong.

A smile appeared on Zhou Shu’s face. “Don’t worry. If I want to leave, these demonic beasts can’t stop me.”

Zhou Shu was mysterious and didn’t tell him directly.

Ji Lutian frowned and thought hard, but he couldn’t figure out what Zhou Shu could do.

But he knew that Zhou Shu wasn’t someone who spoke without thinking. Since he said so, he was definitely confident.

However, Ji Lutian was used to planning. He always felt uneasy when he encountered situations that were not within his control.

While he was thinking hard about how to escape, demonic beasts were already approaching.

They were carrying the forging materials for the ransom over.

It was unknown if these demonic beasts were doing it on purpose or not, but they only transported a portion of the forging materials every time. It took them several days to deliver all the ransom to Zhou Shu and Ji Lutian.

“Everything is here. It’s time for you to keep your promise.” Ao Guang’s eyes were full of vigilance. “I might as well tell you. If you dare to violate your promise, even if I die, the demonic beasts of the Demon Realm will definitely make the two of you die with me!”

“Ao Guang, Ao Guang, I told you not to threaten us with death. Do you think we’re afraid of death like you?” Zhou Shu said angrily.

“But don’t worry. I’m not someone who goes back on my word.” He smiled. “I’ll keep my word. Since I have everything, I’ll definitely let you go.”

Zhou Shu gave Ji Lutian a look. “Mr. Ji, put everything away.”

Ji Lutian nodded and summoned the Demon Subduing Pagoda. He put all the forging materials into the Demon Subduing Pagoda.

After doing all this, he looked at Zhou Shu.

He was actually as curious as Ao Guang. He didn’t know how Zhou Shu planned to deal with what would happen next.

“Ao Guang, rest well and save up some forging materials. The next time I catch you, the ransom will be ten times higher.” Zhou Shu laughed and raised his hand. The Dragon Binding Rope suddenly untied and flew into his hand.

As soon as Ao Guang was freed, his aura soared into the sky.

“Capture them alive, no matter the cost!” Ao Guang roared.

In an instant, countless Demon Kings charged out. Ao Guang had been stalling for time so that these Demon Kings could arrive.

...

He had to capture these two fellows and torture them!

A disdainful smile suddenly appeared on Zhou Shu’s face.

“Goodbye!” Zhou Shu spat out a word. Then he placed his hand on Ji Lutian’s shoulder and instantly disappeared.

The Demon Kings charging over were immediately dumbfounded. They stood rooted to the ground, at a loss.
