Secret chamber? Zhou Shu frowned slightly. What kind of secret chamber can only be opened by a human-demon hybrid?
“Are you joking?” Zhou Shu looked at Emperor Wei Wu.
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Emperor Wei Wu said. “Your time is precious. My time is equally precious. I don’t have time to play with you.
“I didn’t want to tell you too much at first. But since you’ve refused to help, I have to make it clear to you.
“It will also be beneficial to you to help me open the secret chamber.”!!
“How do I know you’re not lying to me?” Zhou Shu said. “I’ve never heard of any secret chamber in the Demon Realm related to human-demon hybrids!”
“Of course you haven’t. If you’ve heard everything, then it’s not a secret.
“No more than two demonic beasts in the entire Demon Realm know about this. Your father should know too. I even suspect that you were born for this secret!”
In order to convince Yao Qing, Emperor Wei Wu spoke without thinking.
If the real Yao Qing heard this, he would definitely be provoked and lose his rationality.
But when Zhou Shu heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Yao Qing was born to open this secret chamber?
Ji Lutian had a child with a demonic beast back then, not because he was dominated by her but because he had such a plan?
If this was true, it would be too terrifying…
If Emperor Wei Wu had said this to Zhou Shu in the past, he would have treated it as a joke.
But now, especially after his trip to the Heavenly Hub Armory, Zhou Shu already had doubts about Ji Lutian. This person was definitely not as simple as he appeared.
He might really be able to do such a thing!
Zhou Shu’s curiosity was successfully piqued by Emperor Wei Wu.
But he didn’t agree directly. Instead, he stared at Emperor Wei Wu and said coldly, “I’m giving Demon King Ao face by speaking to you. If you dare to spout nonsense again, don’t blame me for being impolite!
“If you want me to help you, you’d better explain the secret chamber. If you don’t make it clear, I will never help you.”
“Don’t worry. Since I’ve already said it, I’ll naturally let you understand,” Emperor Wei Wu said. “It’s a long story. I won’t elaborate on unimportant matters.
“I can tell you that this secret chamber was left behind by the Demon Ancestor.”
Zhou Shu looked at Emperor Wei Wu. His heart stirred, but he didn’t say anything.
After Emperor Wei Wu joined the demonic beasts, he seemed to have learned a lot. Zhou Shu didn’t know if he already knew this or if he had heard it from Demon King Ao.
Zhou Shu didn’t know who the Demon Ancestor was. When he entered the dreams of Yao Qing and Yao Lian, he had never heard about the Demon Ancestor.
But from the looks of it, Emperor Wei Wu had no intention of introducing the Demon Ancestor. Perhaps he thought that Yao Qing definitely knew who the Demon Ancestor was.
In order to avoid exposing himself, Zhou Shu didn’t ask.
As the name implied, the Demon Ancestor should be a peerless expert of the Demon Realm. It shouldn’t be something ordinary demonic beasts could do.
Emperor Wei Wu changed his tune and told the story like a third-rate storyteller. “Back then, the Demon Ancestor fell in love with a peerless human expert and gave birth to a son.”
Zhou Shu was speechless. Is this Demon Ancestor male or female?
Such a ridiculous thought flashed through his mind.
Emperor Wei Wu continued, “The son of the Demon Ancestor was born with a weak physique and was unable to cultivate. In order to extend his lifespan, the Demon Ancestor and the peerless human expert spent a lot of effort.
“This secret chamber stores the heaven and earth treasures the Demon Ancestor and the peerless expert of the human race gathered for their son.
“Think about it. What kind of value will the treasures collected by two peerless experts be?”
Emperor Wei Wu’s tone changed slightly. It was obvious that he was very excited.
Zhou Shu felt like he had heard a third-rate story. He clapped and said, “Very exciting.
“According to what you said, the son of the Demon Ancestor died in the end, right? How do you know that he didn’t squander all the treasures before he died?
“Also, how can you be sure that the Demon Ancestor didn’t take away the things in the secret chamber?”
“There are some things that you can’t come into contact with, so it’s normal for you to have such doubts,” Emperor Wei Wu said indifferently. “I can tell you that the Demon Ancestor suddenly died back then. He didn’t have time to arrange his funeral.
“After he died, his son quickly died at the hands of his enemy. There was no time to squander the treasures in the secret chamber.
“However, although the son of the Demon Ancestor couldn’t cultivate, he still inherited the intelligence of the Demon Ancestor. Even though he died, he hid the secret chamber well. If we can’t crack the clues he left behind, we definitely won’t be able to find the secret chamber. Even if we can find it, without the bloodline of a human-demon hybrid, we won’t be able to open it.”
Emperor Wei Wu said solemnly, “I spent a lot of effort to confirm the location of the secret chamber. Yao Qing, if you help me open it, other than helping you become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm, I’ll give you thirty percent of the things in the secret chamber!”
“You’re quite generous,” Zhou Shu said casually. “I need to think about this matter. How about this? Come find me in a few months. I still have to help Demon King Hu Li build the Demon King Palace. Even if I’m interested, I can’t go now.”
