Okay, wait a moment.

On the Demon Race's side...

After watching the contents of the Crystal Ball, the Demon Race Genius was also drenched in a cold sweat.

"This won't do. This Zhou Ziming is too terrifying; I can't stay on this Demon Hunting Island any longer!"

The Demon Race Genius's first thought was also to leave as quickly as possible.

But just at that moment, one of his subordinates came to report.

"My Lord, a human Cultivator is asking for an audience!"

The Demon Race Genius was stunned for a moment.

"Is Zhou Ziming here?"

The Demon Race member shook his head.

"It's not Zhou Ziming, it's another Human Race Genius!"

The Demon Race Genius breathed a sigh of relief.

"As long as it's not Zhou Ziming, it's fine!"

Thinking this, the Demon Race Genius suddenly became a bit curious.

He really wanted to know what the Human Race wanted with him at a time like this.

The Demon Race Genius decided to meet him.

————

Before long, the Human Race Genius and the Demon Race Genius met.

The Demon Race Genius looked at this human Genius with disdain in his eyes.

"Human, what is your business in seeking me out?"

The human Genius did not hide his true face.

He was quite handsome, and as he spoke, he wore a bright, sunny smile.

"Little Demon King, are you interested in making a deal?"

The Little Demon King became even more curious.

"A deal? Let's hear it!"

The human Genius then said, "Help me capture a man named Zhou Ziming. During the process, you can torture him however you like, as long as he is delivered to me alive!"

Little Demon King: "..."

Me? Capture Zhou Ziming?

And you want him alive, and I can torture him however I want!

The Little Demon King really wanted to ask, don't you humans pride yourselves on being the most intelligent?

If you want to deal with Zhou Ziming, shouldn't you properly investigate what kind of person he is?

Shouldn't you properly investigate if Zhou Ziming is someone you can even handle?

The geniuses of our Yao and Demon Races are like ants before Zhou Ziming, and you want me to go to my death?

The Little Demon King was about to curse the man as an idiot.

But then it suddenly occurred to him—did this guy not know Zhou Ziming's background?

The Little Demon King suddenly began to laugh.

"This is easy to handle, but as you know, since you're asking the Demon Race for help, where is your sincerity?"

The Human Race Genius nodded with a smile.

Then, he directly took out a Storage Ring.

"The payment is inside!"

The Little Demon King reached out, and the ring flew directly into his hand.

Scanning it with his Divine Sense, the Little Demon King almost laughed out loud.

Fifty million Spirit Stones, various Spiritual Plants, and over a dozen Spirit Treasures.

This human was quite interesting.

When dealing with the Yao and Demons, they were timid and hesitant.

But when it came to internal strife, they were truly willing to pay a high price and strike hard.

The Little Demon King put away the ring and said, "Since I've accepted your things, I'll go take care of it now!"

"All Demon Race members, hear my command!"

In an instant, all the Demon Race members appeared.

The Human Race Genius was stunned.

This Little Demon King really gets things done after taking the money.

He even mobilized the entire Demon Race.

How had he not noticed before that the Little Demon King was so trustworthy and dedicated?

"Alright, Human Race Genius, wait for me here for a moment. I'll have someone bring Zhou Ziming back right away!"

The Human Race Genius nodded.

"In that case, I'll trouble the Little Demon King!"

The Little Demon King also nodded seriously.

"Move out!"

With that, the Little Demon King took the lead and soared into the air.

Behind him followed a massive swarm of the Demon Race.

The display was truly grand.

However, the Little Demon King was frantically asking questions.

"Is the flying boat ready?"

His subordinate nodded.

"It's been on standby; we can leave at any time!"

The Little Demon King looked overjoyed. "Then let's hurry and leave. We can't stay here anymore. Zhou Ziming came here for the Sanctuary Assessment, and we are the targets of his assessment!"

"If we don't leave now, once Devil King Zhou comes over, we'll be truly doomed. I can tell that if he kills us, he definitely won't leave us any way to survive!"

The lesser demons also nodded.

After all, they had all seen the scene of Zhou Ziming killing them like ants.

Who wouldn't tremble after seeing such a ruthless person?

Therefore, those following the Little Demon King did not blame him for his cowardice; they even felt that the Little Demon King was incredibly wise.

"By the way, my Lord, should we inform the Nine Spirits Demoness about Zhou Ziming?"

The Little Demon King shook his head.

"No, he's here for an assessment. You have to leave some Demon Race and Yao Race members for him to kill. If Zhou Ziming senses something is wrong, we won't be able to escape either!"

Everyone nodded.

Then, the Little Demon King led his people to the edge of the Demon Hunting Island, where he was somewhat dumbfounded.

Because the Little Yao King of the Yao Race had also arrived here long ago.

They were looking at their flying boats with bitter expressions.

The Little Demon King was very confused.

"What are you guys doing?"

The Little Yao King looked at the Little Demon King and gave a dry laugh. "Are you guys trying to run away too?"

The Little Demon King was surprised. "You too? What a coincidence?"

Then both of them fell silent.

Truly, this way of greeting each other was very peculiar.

"Wait, aren't you running away? Why haven't you left yet?"

The Little Yao King's face turned bitter.

"This Demon Hunting Island has been placed under a Lockdown Formation by the people of the Sanctuary. We can't escape!"

The Little Yao King didn't quite understand.

Is the Sanctuary crazy?

You set up a Lockdown Formation, and while we can't escape, you humans can't escape either!

There was never one in previous years, but now that I want to leave, you've gone and locked down the entire Demon Hunting Island!

They must be sick.

The Little Demon King's expression was strange.

"I might know why the Sanctuary did this!"

The Little Yao King looked at him inquiringly.

The Little Demon King sighed.

"On my way here, a human Genius approached me and offered a very generous reward to capture Old Devil Zhou alive!"

"Presumably, Old Devil Zhou has offended someone from the Sanctuary, which is why they've moved to lock this place down!"

The Little Yao King was speechless.

"Are these humans mentally ill? If they want to find death, they shouldn't drag us down with them!"

The Little Demon King glanced at the Little Yao King.

"What I'm saying is, they actually have no idea how terrifying Zhou Ziming is, do they?"

The Little Yao King was stunned.

"Ah? They don't even know what kind of strength Zhou Ziming has, and yet they're targeting him?"

The Little Yao King suddenly felt there was a good show to watch.

"Since we can't leave, why don't we see how the humans deal with Zhou Ziming, and then see what Zhou Ziming's attitude toward the humans is!"

The Little Demon King also became interested.

"Fine, let's watch then!"

Then the two of them disguised themselves and secretly headed back.

As for their subordinates, they didn't dare join the fun at all.

They had to constantly observe the Restriction on the Demon Hunting Island.

Once the Restriction opened, they had to notify their masters to leave immediately.

However, while walking on the road, the Little Yao King looked at the Little Demon King and asked.

"After we get out, should we have someone assassinate Zhou Ziming? After all, him being alive is a threat to both our races!"

The Little Demon King hesitated for a long time, then asked, "What if he can't be killed?"

Little Yao King: "..."

That's right, what if he can't be killed?

In that case, once Zhou Ziming grows up, it would only accelerate their downfall.

"Dammit, why isn't Zhou Ziming one of ours!"

The Little Demon King was extremely frustrated.
