Chapter 1091: Chapter 1088: Your Life Is Worth More Than You Think
Xiao Wu said: "I’ve been to Tian Mo Dong before and didn’t find any Demon Race infected with the epidemic."
Xu Wendong shook his head indifferently: "Even if Tian Mo Dong has an outbreak of the epidemic, they would surely hide it, just like our Cave of Ten Thousand Demons. Who dares to make this known to everyone?"
Xiao Wu said nothing.
If other forces learn that the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons has an epidemic outbreak, they would definitely join hands to flatten the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons to prevent the epidemic from spreading.
Huan Ying said: "Xiao Wu, you take Young Master Xu to Tian Mo Dong, I’ll wait for you at Baiyun Mountain."
"Okay."
Xiao Wu agreed and then took Xu Wendong away from Lion Ridge.
He is proficient in the Space Law, able to hide in the void without being detected.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wu also explained some things about Tian Mo Dong to Xu Wendong.
The size of Tian Mo Dong is not much different from the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, but the power of Tian Mo Dong is terrifying.
Especially the Eight-Eyed Spider King, which is a fearsome entity.
Even Mo Chen has said that the strength of the Eight-Eyed Spider King ranks among the top three of the eight Demon Kings.
The strongest is undoubtedly the Dragon Clan Chief.
The second in rank is the Golden-winged Roc.
However, even so, both the Dragon Clan Chief and the Golden-winged Roc find it extremely difficult to defeat the Eight-Eyed Spider King.
After reaching the territory of Tian Mo Dong, both Xiao Wu and Xu Wendong were extremely cautious, focusing on any signs around them.
After three days of investigation, the two concluded that there was no epidemic outbreak here.
Moreover, within the territory of the third son of the Eight-Eyed Demon Spider, a large number of Demon Race powerhouses had gathered.
Most were large spiders, assembled together as if awaiting a command.
At this moment.
Xu Wendong confirmed one thing.
The epidemic outbreak at Lion Ridge is definitely related to Tian Mo Dong.
As for the intentions of Tian Mo Dong, he was unsure.
"Let’s go back to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons!" Xu Wendong communicated to Xiao Wu, and the man and bird reached the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons before sunset.
Xu Wendong shared the information he had discovered with Mo Chen, and then expressed his opinion: "Brother, there’s a great chance the epidemic points to Tian Mo Dong."
"But I have a doubt, if the epidemic was really released by Tian Mo Dong, wouldn’t that mean they have a way to cure the epidemic?"
Mo Chen said: "You’re unaware, the last epidemic was also triggered from Tian Mo Dong."
Xu Wendong furrowed his brows, unsure what Mo Chen meant.
Mo Chen continued: "Earlier, I did not understand why the last epidemic broke out at Tian Mo Dong, and this time Tian Mo Dong remains uninvolved."
"Now, I seem to understand something."
"The last epidemic was very likely a conspiracy between the Human Race and the Eight-Eyed Spider King."
"Because it was that epidemic that led the Demon Race to be domesticated by the Human Race, trapped in this realm, unable to ascend, only waiting for death to come."
"If I’m correct, the true purpose of the Human Race is to have the Eight-Eyed Spider King rule the Demon Realm."
Xu Wendong’s heart throbbed violently, he couldn’t help saying: "Does the Eight-Eyed Spider King have this power?"
Mo Chen responded: "The Eight-Eyed Spider King’s strength is terrifying on its own. If the Demon Race has a widespread epidemic, do you think it would be difficult for him to unite the Demon Realm?"
Xu Wendong fell silent.
If an epidemic were to break out in the Demon Realm, with the power of the Eight-Eyed Spider King, ruling the Demon Realm would not be difficult.
Mo Chen said: "Now, powerful figures from Tian Mo Dong are eyeing our Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, ready to attack at any moment."
Upon saying this, his expression became serious.
Though the strength of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is considerable, its Demon Race powerhouses have just endured an epidemic. A battle now would be very passive.
"Brother, I have a suggestion," Xu Wendong said. "You can contact the Demon Kings you’re friendly with and invite them to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons for a gathering."
"In this way, Tian Mo Dong will surely hesitate to act."
Mo Chen shook his head: "Though this idea is good, it will make your situation very passive···"
"You must understand, the epidemic outbreak at the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons is Tian Mo Dong’s conspiracy all along."
"If they learn the epidemic at the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons has been resolved by you, do you think you’d still live?"
A simple sentence, like a powerful hand, gripped Xu Wendong’s throat tightly, making him feel as if he were suffocating.
Mo Chen continued: "They will spare no effort to kill you. As long as you die, aside from Tian Mo Dong, no one in the world can cure the epidemic."
"By then, they will do as they please on the Demon Race lands."
"Brother, your life is more valuable than you think!"
"Of course, even for personal reasons, as your brother, I can’t stand by and watch anything happen to you."
Xu Wendong swallowed involuntarily; indeed, as Mo Chen said, he never imagined his own life would be so valuable.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to calm his emotions: "So, this battle is already inevitable?"
Mo Chen’s eyes glinted coldly: "To stop a war with a war is the best method!"
"The priority should be secretly gathering powerhouses, and when Tian Mo Dong’s powerhouses attack, surprise them and deal a deadly blow!"
"However, amassing a large number of powerhouses to Lion Ridge might alert Tian Mo Dong."
As far as Mo Chen is concerned, as long as he can secretly transport powerhouses to Lion Ridge, they would have the upper hand in this battle.
Otherwise, they would become very passive.
Xiao Wu said: "I can traverse the void but can only bring dozens of Demon Race powerhouses each time."
Mo Chen: "There are twelve Shichen in a day. With your speed, each teleport won’t take much time, right?"
Xiao Wu was taken aback, then understood Mo Chen’s intention — he wants Xiao Wu to teleport demon powerhouses non-stop for twelve Shichen to Lion Ridge.
Realizing this, a look of despair appeared in his eyes: "Why don’t you just eat me instead!"
Mo Chen laughed: "Just joking, you don’t need to take it seriously."
Xiao Wu said with grievance: "You look so fierce, don’t make jokes, okay?"
Mo Chen gave it a resentful look, as if saying, can’t we lighten the tense atmosphere?
"Brother, I have an idea that might work," Xu Wendong said.
Mo Chen asked seriously: "What’s your idea?"
He never underestimated Xu Wendong.
Not because Bai Ze had high hopes for him, though he hadn’t spent much time with Xu Wendong, he could still see the man’s capability and fortune.
People with such great fortune are usually very smart.
Xu Wendong spread his right hand, and the Penglai Fairy Island Minor World appeared in his palm, revealing a fervent glow in his eyes: "Use it to teleport demon powerhouses!"
