No one knows how long it has been.
When Xu Wendong felt the breeze brush his face, he slowly opened his eyes.
Finding himself in a spacious and bright cave, he suddenly sat up, his eyes revealing an incredulous light: "I survived?"
He thought he was dood to die.
But unexpectedly, he was unhard.
Xiao Wu’s voice ca from the side: "We misunderstood the Demon King. The Demon King did not intend to hurt you, instead, he gave you a chance."
Xu Wendong was full of confusion: "What do you an?"
Xiao Wu said: "The Demon King’s abdon holds wonders. Not everyone has the qualifications to enter it."
"Haven’t you felt your physical body becoming more powerful?"
Hearing this, Xu Wendong couldn’t help but clench his fist.
Even without applying force, just a gentle squeeze of his fist made him feel a terrifying power within him, like a steady flowing river.
Xiao Wu explained: "When you helped the citizens of the Demon Race earlier, you consud many Immortal Herbs and Spiritual dicines, but you didn’t completely absorb them."
"After you toured the Demon King’s body once, the dicinal effects of those Immortal Herbs and Spiritual dicines were fully absorbed, naturally making your body stronger."
"This is the fortune the Demon King bestowed upon you."
Xu Wendong instinctively swallowed.
Is this really the fortune Mo Qilin gave him?
It’s not that simple.
What happened before was its test for him.
Indeed.
Luckily, Xu Wendong didn’t use a blood curse to control the strong ones of the Demon Race before; otherwise, he’d be dead now.
"Indeed, one should have a defensive heart, but not a harming heart!"
Xu Wendong secretly sighed.
Xiao Wu said: "Now that you’re awake, follow to et the Demon King."
"Alright." Xu Wendong agreed, then followed Xiao Wu to the cave where Mo Qilin resided.
At this mont.
Huan Ying was chatting with Mo Qilin.
Xiao Wu’s voice trembled: "Demon King, Young Master Xu is awake!"
It feared Mo Chen.
Always feared!
Thunk!
Thunk thunk!
Thunk thunk thunk!
The ground suddenly began to shake.
In the next mont.
A powerful demon aura spread from within the cave.
At the sa ti.
A Mo Qilin erged from the darkness.
Covered in dark scales, resembling stars in the night sky, it was mysterious and profound.
Its eyes shone like torches, emitting electrifying light, as if capable of perceiving all truths in the world.
Its four hooves stepped into the void, and with each step, the space trembled, making it appear majestic.
Xu Wendong quickly bowed: "Greetings, senior!"
Mo Chen’s cold vertical pupils revealed a faint smile: "Brother Xu saved my Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, you are an benefactor of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons. If you are willing, I wish to emulate humans and beco sworn brothers with you."
"Huh?"
Xu Wendong was full of shock, thinking he might be hearing things.
He never expected that a Great Demon of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons would want to beco sworn brothers with him.
Mo Chen: "Brother Xu, do you look down on ?"
"No, no, no!" Xu Wendong quickly replied: "I’m just a bit overwheld and have no intention of disrespecting senior."
No kidding.
How could he look down on Mo Chen, one of the top powerhouses in the Demon Realm?
If he could beco sworn brothers with it, it would only bring him benefits, no downsides.
Saying it’s all advantage and no harm would not be an exaggeration.
Mo Chen let out a hearty laugh: "Since that’s the case, from now on, you are the second master of my Cave of Ten Thousand Demons. We shall be equals, and anyone who dares to disrespect you is an enemy of mine, Mo Chen!"
Then, it looked at Xiao Wu: "Little one, please help inform the nine protectors!"
Xiao Wu reluctantly agreed.
It excelled in spatial travel.
But it didn’t an it enjoyed being a ssenger bird...
Mo Chen said again: "Second brother, I have sothing I need your help with."
Xu Wendong quickly replied: "Fore...big brother, you’ve called second brother, there’s no need to be so polite between us, just tell what you need."
Mo Chen whispered: "I feel there’s sothing strange about the outbreak of this plague, I hope you can help investigate it."
Previous plagues had multiple outbreaks at different points, but this ti it’s completely different, only breaking out at the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.
The forces of the other seven Demon Kings are all unscathed, which makes Mo Chen believe there’s sothing odd about this.
"Alright, I’ll investigate this matter." Xu Wendong agreed without a second thought.
Even though he now stands firm in the Demon Race, becoming the second master of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.
But that doesn’t an he can leave the Demon Realm.
And there’s nothing wrong with helping Mo Chen before leaving.
Mo Chen spat out a black longsword: "Here, this is a Treasure Sword I’ve nurtured with Soul Force, keep it in case of need. At crucial monts, it can unleash a fatal strike of a Great Ascension Peak expert."
The longsword was entirely black, yet it radiated a tallic shine, making it clear it was no ordinary item.
Coincidentally, Xu Wendong also needed a suitable weapon, so he imdiately took it.
After a brief chat, Xu Wendong bid farewell to the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons and, under Xiao Wu’s guidance, arrived with Huan Ying at Lion Ridge.
This was the source of the plague outbreak, if they wanted to uncover the origin of the plague, it was unavoidable.
When Lion Candle learned of Xu Wendong’s purpose and his sworn brotherhood with Mo Chen, Lion Candle showed extraordinary respect.
Then said: "My son was the first to contract the plague, but at that ti we did not know he was infected with the Plague, we only felt he was in poor spirits."
"So I had soone take him to find the Purple Cloud Immortal Grass, hoping to use its fragrance to dispel his symptoms of poor spirit."
It didn’t continue, because the rest didn’t need any explanation.
"Before that, who did your son co into contact with?" Xu Wendong knew using ’people’ to refer was inappropriate, but he was used to it.
Moreover, the Demon Race is also accustod to using ’people’ to address each other.
Lion Candle shook his head: "I spend most of my ti cultivating, so I’m not clear on who he has interacted with."
Saying this, it looked outside the cave: "Old Nine, co here."
In an instant.
A lion appeared inside the cave, nad Shi Yan, possessing Soul Division initial-stage cultivation, usually living with Lion Candle’s son.
Lion Candle asked: "Where did my son go before he contracted the plague? Who did he interact with?"
Shi Yan revealed a thoughtful expression, then said: "Young master went to Tian Mo Dong two months ago and gathered with the third prince of the Eight-Eyed Demon Spider, after which he showed signs of poor spirits."
"Indeed, when the young master returned, he ntioned feeling a bit sleepy. Initially, I didn’t think much of it, but now it seems that’s when he contracted the Plague."
Tian Mo Dong, one of the top eight forces of the Demon Race, governed by a terrifying Eight-Eyed Demon Spider.
Xu Wendong thoughtfully nodded, his gaze becoming incredibly profound: "If Tian Mo Dong has also experienced a plague outbreak, then this incident would be an accident."
"Conversely, it would be a conspiracy!"
