Wonderful Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1777 Waiting for an Opportunity

Chen Wanli sensed something was wrong; Ye Zhenjun's words were not entirely truthful.

The Dragon King, though seemingly open and honest, did not expose Ye Zhenjun's "lies," which was essentially a form of deception.

Although they weren't exactly singing in unison, their goals were indeed very similar.

That was urging himself to enter the Lunar Divine Platform.

The Dragon King's goal seems more like exploring the Lunar Altar to verify some conjectures.

Ye Zhenjun, on the other hand, hopes to have a large number of people residing in the Moon Extreme God Platform.

With the words "The Demon King of Heaven and Earth has awakened," Chen Wanli pondered to himself, "Where is the Demon King of Heaven and Earth? How will he react upon learning of these changes in the Demon Cave?"

"Brother Chen, you don't have much time left to hesitate!" Ye Zhenjun said meaningfully.

"Is there anything else to say? I feel that what you have said today is somewhat insulting to my intelligence!"

Chen Wanli pointed to his head, his smile tinged with mockery.

Ye Zhenjun frowned slightly: "I have already told you everything I know."

The Dragon King remained silent, his gaze following the direction in which the demonic energy had vanished, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

Chen Wanli nodded: "Then, I guess I need to think about it some more."

"Then I wish you good luck! I'll be waiting for you in Endless City!" Ye Zhenjun nodded slightly, displaying an open and honest demeanor, as if he were a gentleman who wouldn't force anything.

The Dragon King then said, "The Demon King of Heaven and Earth has awakened, and there may be great changes in the Demon Cave. I must also return to the Dragon Palace immediately."

"Then it seems you won't be able to attend the wedding banquet!" Chen Wanli said with a smile.

"I can only offer my congratulations in advance!"

"It's alright, as long as the gift arrives even if I can't be there in person!"

Chen Wanli was still smiling.

But to most people, his smile seemed somewhat forced.

Ancestor Lei Ze and Xuan Lie exchanged a heavy glance.

The Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun clearly meant that if Chen Wanli did not agree to their conditions, they would not participate in the Demon Clan's retaliation.

This is hardly good news for them.

Standing to the side, Fang Fengting had no idea what was being discussed inside the hall, and he felt that the three of them seemed to have ulterior motives and were unaware of any potential dangers.

Chen Wanli remained calm, behaving like a refined gentleman, and even escorted the two to the city gate.

When Fang Fengpei led his men into the city, he saw this scene and was completely bewildered.

So the great war is over?

Are the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun allied with Chen Wanli?

The Demon King Lusu's predicament has been resolved!

It seems that must be it.

This time, Fangfeng finally didn't miss the opportunity.

Chen Shenzu was indeed a genius of the human race.

He was able to gather the gods to resist the Demon King Lusu, and now he has a close relationship with the Dragon King and the Endless City. He is already a top-level being who can influence the future of the Demon Cave.

Rather than becoming its enemy, Fangfeng's ability to assist it is definitely the least bad choice.

He saw his ancestor Fang Fengting and hurriedly went to greet him: "Ancestor, what is the current situation? Has Ancestor Chen reached an agreement with the Dragon King and True Monarch Ye? Has Demon King Lu Su been defeated and fled?"

"If we are defeated, the Demon King, being narrow-minded, will surely retaliate with a large army. Should our divine race unite to resist?"

Fang Fengpei bombarded him with questions, but he could see that the old ancestor not only didn't answer a word, but also looked troubled.

The members of the Fangfeng clan all looked bewildered.

At this moment, Chen Wanli returned.

Fangfeng Pei immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Ancestor Chen, the Fangfeng clan came to our aid, but we are a step too late. Please forgive us, Ancestor!"

Chen Wanli curled his lip and glanced sideways at Fang Fengting: "I have no idea who your Fangfeng clan's support is actually for!"

"???" Fang Fengpei was stunned.

What does this mean? What exactly did our ancestor do?

The patriarch Fang Fengting awkwardly cupped his hands and said, "This time I acted improperly and I voluntarily accept punishment. But I beg the allied forces of the gods not to abandon my Fang Feng clan when the demon army arrives!"

Chen Wanli snorted and walked straight towards the temple, leaving Fang Fengting standing there.

Lei Ze, Kua Fu Chong, Xuan Lie Xuan San, and even Lei Jiang all returned to the temple, leaving Fang Feng alone.

Even if Fang Fengpei was stupid, he knew he had made a mistake, so he quickly asked a series of questions.

Fang Fengting revealed that he had let the Dragon King "go easy" on his main team.

Fang Fengpei looked up at the sky and sighed, "Our ancestor really can copy the correct answer wrong!"

"At worst, I'll pay with my life!" Fang Fengting had seen Chen Wanli's methods before, and he didn't even have the will to resist, so he said bluntly.

Fangfeng Pei thought for a moment and said, "Chen Shenzu now holds power in the God Clan. If he doesn't agree, our Fangfeng Clan will be isolated!"

Does he really have to join the demon race and completely betray the gods?

I, Fangfeng, am a descendant of ancient gods; I absolutely cannot have such a choice.

Moreover, the old ancestor Lei Ze, the ancestor Kua Fu, and even the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun, which one of them is not a top figure in the Demon Cave? They all have high hopes for Chen Shenzu, but we are siding with demons. Isn't that going against the tide?

Would the patriarch be willing to entrust this matter to me?

Fang Fengting frowned: "What can you do?"

“I can persuade Chen Shenzu to make an exception, but…”

Fang Fengting hesitated briefly, but he had to admit that Fang Fengpei was clever and had a past relationship with Chen Wanli, so he agreed.

……

In the temple.

Of the five people present, four were Chen Wanli's "original supporters" when he first entered the den of demons, so they were less reserved.

“I remember that Chen Shenzu had also considered taking everyone to the Moon Extreme Divine Platform before. Now you feel that there is something wrong with the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun?” Lei Jiang asked.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's obvious that everyone has their own agenda, which is much better than being superficially united but actually at odds."

Chen Wanli said calmly.

"Then why refuse these two? Judging from their attitude, if Ancestor Chen is willing, they might be willing to go to the Moon Extreme Divine Platform together to find out the truth."

They were even willing to accept the demons' revenge.

With two strong supporters like this, isn't that good?

"Old Ancestor Lei Ze couldn't help but ask."

Chen Wanli smiled and asked in return, "If I agree after a while, will they not go?"

Xuan Lie shook his head: "Judging from their attitude, their exploration of the Moon Extreme God Platform and the Spirit Realm is inevitable."

"Why wait to make them unhappy?" Xuan San asked.

Lei Jiang touched his nose, his eyes lighting up.

Chen Wanli pointed at Lei Jiang: "You speak."

"I don't know what the little god is waiting for. But everyone has their own thoughts, so we can't do things entirely according to their wishes."

Our purpose is now clear, but we can't fathom their thoughts. Our understanding of the spirit world is also the least.

Wait a while, and things might become clearer.

At least, they desperately wanted Chen Shenzu to be the first to step forward, so they wouldn't just watch us get crushed by the demon army.

Lei Jiang analyzed with a smile, and then his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Does Chen Shenzu want to see the Demon Clan's reaction? Is he waiting for the right opportunity?"

Chen Wanli was very satisfied with Lei Jiang's intelligence; in the Demon Cave, this kid always seemed to be able to guess some of his thoughts.

"Alright, go do what you're supposed to do! Don't disturb my cultivation."

"The grand wedding is off, but we'll still have a small ceremony. After all, I promised the girl. You guys arrange it; do you expect me to do it all myself?"

Chen Wanli waved his hand dismissively.

"Then, what should Fangfeng Clan do..." Kuafu Chong asked.

At that moment, Fang Fengpei's voice came from outside the door:

"By the Divine Ancestor Chen, the Fangfeng Clan has committed a grave error and must bear the consequences. Our Fangfeng Clan is willing to serve as the vanguard of the Divine Race and become the first line of defense against the Demon Army."

My clan elder, Fang Fengting, is willing to obey orders, regardless of life or death, to atone for his mistakes.

Chen Wanli raised an eyebrow slightly. A clever lad!

"You guys handle it!" Chen Wanli raised his chin, then lowered his eyes, seemingly tired of these trivial matters.

Kuafu Chong stepped forward first, helped Fangfeng Pei up, and said comforting words: "That's very good. Since Fangfeng has shown such sincerity, the gods will not investigate further!"

Lei Jiang, walking behind, looked at Kuafu Chong's back with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

The situation seems simple, but there's something sinister about it.

……

On the other side, five hundred miles after leaving the city, the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun stopped at a fork in the road.

"That kid won't believe you!" the Dragon King said calmly.

"I'm telling the truth," Ye Zhenjun shook his head.

Will he go?

"Yes, in the Dharma-ending Age of cultivation, the desire for spiritual energy will overwhelm everything..."

"Then let's go back and prepare!"

"What about the demons and monsters?"

“They’re not fools either!” The Dragon King gave Ye Zhenjun a deep look, as if to say something.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Dragon King led Long Jihai away into the distance.

Long Jihai was puzzled and hesitated several times before speaking.

"Say what you want to say!" The Dragon King squinted, his fingers caressing the Phoenix King's primordial flame.

“I don’t know what to ask, I just feel that the Demon Cave is undergoing huge changes…” Long Jihai shook his head.

"The Moon God Platform may be related to the Spirit Realm, as is True Lord Ye. The Heavenly Demon King, the Demon Emperor, and I all have this suspicion and want to verify it."

"Then why is Chen Wanli involved in the verification?"

"Because we can't fathom the depths of True Lord Ye. And we can't see through the Demon King of Heaven and Earth either. No one wants to be cannon fodder!"

"Is Chen Wanli the cannon fodder that everyone has chosen now?" Long Jihai's expression showed realization.

"His achievements proved that he was capable of being cannon fodder!"

……

Demon Valley.

A torrent of demonic energy surged into the sky.

Soon, the ground at the bottom of the valley split into pieces, and a slender demon emerged from underground.

Its face is beautiful, yet it possesses a haughty arrogance that inspires awe.

As soon as they stepped out, countless demons gathered from all directions in the valley, knelt down, and shouted "Heavenly Demon Venerable!"

"Why did Lu Su die?" it asked succinctly.

After a moment, after countless messages had gathered, it spoke again: "Any news from Earth Demon Valley?"

"I've got it! I just received a message that the Earth Demon Lord requests your approval to take charge of the matter!"

"Oh!" The Demon King slowly stretched his body, then spread his long arms: "The army marches forth, target: the gods!"
