Chapter 1799 Multiple Questions
The other gods also had doubts about the Windward Court.
This concerns the continuation of the clan; how can we completely believe a few words that are not even given any concrete details?
Even the old ancestor Lei Ze, who had a close relationship with Chen Wanli, and several members of the Hua Xu clan all looked solemn.
However, Chen Wanli defeated the Heavenly Demon Army and pulled the Dragon King and Ye Zhenjun to the limit.
His methods and prestige have reached their peak in maneuvering among these three top giants.
Even powerful figures like the Old Ancestor Lei Ze, Kua Fu Chong, and Fang Feng Ting, who possessed Nascent Soul-level combat strength, did not dare to act too presumptuously in front of him.
If Fang Fengting had already raised his doubts, it would be disrespectful for them to press him further.
Moreover, the matter of the gods entering the Moon God Platform is now also influenced by Ye Zhenjun's wishes.
The Dragon King's ambiguous attitude was tantamount to tacit approval.
Having offended the demons and with the three giants pressing down on them, the gods, despite having a thousand doubts, could only leave the private room.
"Go and invite Xihe and Xuanle over!"
Lei Jiang spoke up, and both Old Ancestor Lei Ze and Xuan Lie's eyes lit up.
The two women had been following Chen Wanli around, so they might know something about the situation.
At the very least, we need to know what Chen Wanli is really thinking!
"You're the clever one!"
"Call both of those little girls from the Xiangshou clan!"
"Let's skip Jiufang Restaurant and go to the tavern on the street ahead!"
……
Only the Dragon King remained in the private room.
The Dragon King stared at Chen Wanli with an unfriendly expression: "You want to play both sides?"
Chen Wanli smiled faintly: "How can one be both sides of the issue of life and death?"
"That depends on whose life or death it is!" the Dragon King said meaningfully.
"Whose life or death do you think the Dragon King is concerned with? The gods? The Dragon Palace? Or Ye Zhenjun? Or what do you think I'm after?"
Chen Wanli countered with a question.
The Dragon King remained silent for a long time, for Chen Wanli's intentions were naturally the same as his!
With the gods as the vanguard, Chen Wanli naturally also had the idea of paving the way for the human race and making the Moon Extreme Divine Platform a sacred place for cultivation.
However, it felt that if it really had to choose, Chen Wanli would definitely prioritize his own path to refining the void!
But these words cannot be said.
Chen Wanli didn't offer any further explanation.
It is difficult for him, the Dragon King, Ye Zhenjun, and even the Demon King of Heaven and Earth to achieve true trust.
Unless a certain opportunity arises.
The Dragon King was well aware of this, and after a moment's thought, he laughed again: "I'm not as insightful as you, kid!"
It suddenly stood up, exclaiming with boundless pride: "Whether I live or die, it's my own choice!"
I'm waiting for this show! Let's see what kind of tricks this game of chess, played by four players, will turn out in the end!
After saying that, it turned and left.
Chen Wanli's lips drooped slightly.
Old ghosts are old ghosts; they've lived for thousands of years, and none of them are truly stupid.
I just wonder where the other old ghost is now?
……
In a tavern on the next street.
Bells, drums, and jade chimes resounded, and dancers twirled and danced, captivating the eye.
The dancer swayed her delicate body, and her rabbit ears added to her charm.
Fox girls and rabbit girls are among the few demon beasts who can be described as charming and beautiful.
Only in the Endless City, Ye Zhenjun's territory, can they be seen coming out to "curry favor with the guest".
Few among the gods had ever seen such a spectacle.
On a normal day, one would have to "appreciate" the difference between the high and low points.
But at this moment, whether it was the lofty god-ancestor level beings or elite young talents like Lei Jiang and Fang Fengpei, they were all present.
They all looked solemn, not caring about enjoying themselves.
When Feng Xihe, Xuan Le, and Xiang Qing were called in, they were all completely bewildered.
It wasn't until Xuan Lie spoke up, asking, "Have you heard anything while you've been following Chen Shenzu these past few days?"
"What did you hear?" Feng Xihe looked at Elder Su in astonishment.
"Did Chen Shenzu reveal anything about the construction of the city at the Moon God Platform? For example, how to proceed? How to deal with the Soul Devourer?"
Lei Jiang patiently guided him, asking questions with examples.
Feng Xihe shook his head: "I haven't revealed it!"
"Did Chen Shenzu do anything special... or take any unusual actions along the way?"
Upon hearing Lei Jiang's words, both Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting unconsciously leaned forward, their gazes fixed on the three women.
Feng Xihe was just about to ask if Chengfeng's sudden enlightenment counted.
But before she could even open her mouth, Xuan Le interrupted, "No, does fighting the Demon Emperor count?"
“Yes. Along the way, Chen Shenzu was either cultivating or… well, still cultivating…” Feng Xihe’s pretty face suddenly turned slightly red. The Blissful Great Art is also a form of cultivation!
Xiang Qing nodded repeatedly beside him, "Absolutely right, absolutely right! Chen Shenzu only loves cultivation!"
She thought to herself, "That little vixen, Xuan Le, reacts so quickly! Feng Xihe almost fell for her trick!"
It's definitely better not to tell anyone about Brother Chen's sudden realization.
She had also overheard the Dragon King instructing his subordinates not to spread rumors!
Both women looked very uncomfortable, but everyone only heard one thing: they had fought with the Demon Emperor!
"The Demon Emperor? You fought him? Tell me more!"
Fang Fengting's voice grew louder.
Seven or eight pairs of eyes quickly fixed on Xuan Le.
Xuan Le was a cold-faced beauty, and she recounted the story of Chen Wanli's great battle with the Demon Emperor in just a few words.
But from those few words, everyone present seemed to have felt a sense of awe and dread!
They all stared at each other, mouths agape, speechless for a long time.
When Chen Wanli chased the Heavenly Demon King all over the place, he could still say that the Heavenly Demon King, after becoming a god, was not the original being and could not be compared with him.
That would be a face-to-face, real battle with the Demon Emperor!
While the Demon Emperor may not be as powerful as the Heavenly Demon King, he is still an absolute top-tier being at the Great Perfection stage.
Chen Wanli's strength is becoming increasingly unpredictable and terrifying!
If things continue like this, wouldn't he become the number one expert in the Demon Cave in due time?
"So Chen Shenzu's strength has improved again?" Xuan San exclaimed in surprise.
"No, I don't know!" Xuanle shook her head.
Xiang Qing's lips twitched. Compared to her, Xuan Le was really good at talking nonsense. Her cold face made it impossible to tell the truth from the lies.
She grumbled inwardly while watching the show unfold.
As a descendant of the Xiangshou clan, whose entire clan had been squeezed out, Xiang Qing didn't harbor any deep hatred for these gods and ancestors, but he found it rather satisfying to watch them make a fool of themselves.
Xiang Jing knew his younger sister best. Seeing the little girl's eyes darting around, he immediately felt that there might be something going on.
"Ahem, what are you so pleased with yourself over there? Are you hiding something?" Xiangjing tugged at his sister and asked in a low voice.
Xiang Qing looked up, her eyes full of confusion: "What is it? No, nothing!"
"Tell me the truth, it concerns the future continuation of the divine race..." Xiang Dehong felt the piercing gazes of Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting and asked.
Xuan Le and Feng Xihe exchanged a glance, both feeling a little nervous. They hoped Xiang Qing wouldn't say anything he shouldn't, lest they be caught in the middle.
Then Xiang Qing said, "It's nothing much. Brother Chen took us to the Dragon Palace, and it seems he took a lot of treasures from the Dragon Palace's treasury. Then he fought with the Demon Emperor and brought us to Endless City!"
"hiss……"
No one spoke for a long time.
"So do you think Chen Shenzu is confident in eliminating the Soul Devourer?"
"I do not know!"
"Xiang Qing, you went to the Moon God Platform with Chen Shenzu, what do you think?"
"There should be, right? Brother Chen is so capable, is there anything he can't do?"
"..."
Kuafu Chong and Fang Fengting both sat back down in their chairs.
Bai asked.
These aren't three goddesses at all!
It's obvious they're three love-struck fools who've fallen head over heels for Chen Wanli!
Ask three questions.
Don't ask, the answer is that my brother is amazing! My brother can do anything!
Old Ancestor Lei Ze also glared at Lei Jiang.
Lei Jiang pursed his lips. "Is it my fault?"
Who knew Chen Wanli was so skilled at handling women!
"Any other questions?" Xiang Qing asked cutely, tilting her head.
Lei Jiang pouted, "Forget it, you wouldn't know anyway. You should just focus on serving Brother Chen from now on!"
"Oh!"
Fang Fengpei coughed and said, "Judging from Chen Shenzu's experience of entering the Moon God Platform last time, he is definitely not afraid of Soul Devouring."
That fire magic is extremely powerful; it can destroy a soul-devouring body the moment it touches it.
The only problem is, with his own strength, it would take who knows how many years to cleanse the entire Moon God Platform of Soul Devouring!
"Do you think Master Ye has any special techniques?"
"Impossible! If I had, I would have said so already."
"Oh, Lord Ye has left the city!"
Fang Fengpei, who was standing by the window, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Ok?"
Lei Jiang peered over, his expression growing increasingly complicated.
"I think our discussion is pointless! We're just going down this dead end! Let's go back and rest!"
Kuafu Chong stood up, his face full of impatience.
Fang Fengting stood up and slightly raised his chin towards Ancestor Lei Ze: "I just hope that Ancestor Lei Ze has the discerning eye to recognize talent!"
Lei Jiang sensed the sarcasm in the words and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He watched as the two divine ancestors left on their own, followed by the descendants of Kuafu and Fangfeng.
He said in a deep voice to Ancestor Lei Ze and Xuan Lie:
"Once you two enter the Moon God Platform, you must keep a close eye on these two."
"Ok?"
"What do you mean, kid?" Xuan San couldn't help but ask.
Lei Jiang sighed: "Goddess Xuan, I suggest you learn more from those three girls..."
"Huh? I'm going to serve Chen Shenzu too?" Xuan San said subconsciously, then suddenly realized what she meant and flew into a rage:
"I'll hammer you to death!"
"Oh, I didn't say that, you said it! I meant you should learn from them, just follow instructions and don't ask so many questions! Otherwise, you'll get an itch to ask questions."
"Damn it, aren't you just saying I'm brainless?"
"..."
Seeing that Lei Jiang was still in the mood to joke and play around, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
These days, Lei Jiang's analyses of Chen Wanli's affairs are always spot-on; he's practically their external brain.
"Don't look at me, I don't know if Chen Shenzu is confident either. But here we are, is there any other way but to go down this dark road?"
Sighs rose and fell, and then silence followed for a long time.
"Where do you think Ye Zhenjun went?" Lei Jiang muttered to himself, stroking his chin.
……
Five hundred miles outside the Endless City.
Outside a valley shrouded in demonic clouds, black mist spread out like viscous ink, impenetrable to the eye.
Even divine senses that venture out are shattered by the black mist.
If there were elites from the demon and monster races nearby, they would immediately recognize this place as one of the entrances to the Moon Luo Cave.
"How much of the material on this list can you provide?"
Ye Zhenjun stood at the entrance of the valley, but did not enter the black mist. Instead, he took out the materials list given to him by Chen Wanli and flicked it out with his finger.
The material list "floated" through the black mist and slowly landed in a fair palm.
A moment later, a light and slightly mocking voice rang out: "Most of them are indeed array talents, but there are also a few spiritual medicines that are essential for the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"
Are you really not afraid that he'll improve his skills at the last minute, take another step forward, and then ruin everything for you?
Ye Zhenjun sneered: "He has only just advanced in the Dragon Palace, barely reaching the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. How much further can he advance? Could he possibly reach the Great Perfection realm in just a month or two?"
"Well, who knows!"
"I have seen far too many chosen ones of heaven, and there are certainly those who can advance a thousand miles in a day. But until they reach the Void Refinement stage, they are nothing but ants!"
Ye Zhenjun's expression was arrogant, and his nonchalant tone suggested that he truly didn't take anyone below the Refinement Void Realm seriously.
These words immediately drew a displeased snort from within the black mist.
Ye Zhenjun didn't take it to heart, his lips drooping slightly as he continued, "Chen Wanli is strong, with a domineering physical body and fierce fire magic, but that's far from enough."
"I am not afraid. If you are, then our agreement is off!"
A sneer came from within the black mist: "Is this some kind of provocation? What if Chen Wanli can't solve the Soul Devouring problem and build a city?"
Ye Zhenjun said calmly, "You don't need to try to get to the bottom of this. I know what you want to ask, and I can tell you now, it's not important!"
"This contains information on 60% of the names on the list, as a token of my sincerity. The rest is up to you. Remember our agreement, or you'll suffer a terrible fate!"
A storage artifact flew out from the black mist.
Ye Zhenjun grabbed it, probed it with his divine sense, and then quickly flew back to the city.
……
At this moment, Chen Wanli was surrounded by three women. One was feeding him soup with a spoon, and the other was picking up food with chopsticks. He was enjoying himself immensely.
"Brother Chen, try this..."
Feng Xihe picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and brought it to Chen Wanli's lips, but found that he was lost in thought, seemingly preoccupied with something else.
"Brother Chen?!"
"Hmm? Ah!" Chen Wanli withdrew his divine sense, opened his mouth and chewed on the bull demon's tendon, mumbling "delicious."
"Brother Chen, the Protoss have been holding secret meetings, trying to find out about you!"
Xiang Qing immediately exposed the entire divine race.
Chen Wanli chuckled: "What are you asking about?"
"They mainly want to know if you can solve the Soul Devouring problem! It seems like they don't believe you!"
Xiang Qing muttered unhappily.
"Oh, do you believe it?" Chen Wanli teased the little girl with a smile.
"Of course I trust Brother Chen! A mere Soul Devourer is a piece of cake!"
"Hahaha……"
Xuanle asked, "Brother Chen, is there any truth to the idea of building a city on the Moon Pole Divine Platform?"
"you guess?"
Chen Wanli glanced at the door of the private room with a smile.
The next second, there was a knock on the closed door of the private room.
"it's me!"
Ye Zhenjun's voice came through.
"please!"
Chen Wanli spoke loudly, and the door opened automatically.
Ye Zhenjun didn't come in either; he simply raised his hand and placed a storage treasure in front of Chen Wanli:
Everything you requested is here!
Chen Wanli scanned the area with his divine sense, nodded in satisfaction, and said to Xiang Qing, "Go and inform the Divine Clan to open the Moon Luo Cave!"
"Now?"
"Yes, we'll depart in half an hour!"
Ye Zhenjun originally thought Chen Wanli would drag his feet, but he didn't expect him to be so straightforward.
The young man's actions were truly unfathomable to this old monster.
