Wonderful Immortal Doctor

Chapter 1778 A Dramatic Change in Temperament?

In the temple of Wangmang City.

Chen Wanli sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, but unusually, he was not practicing.

When Xiang Qing pushed open the door and entered, she saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, and she felt a strange pang of heartache.

She tiptoed up to him, extended her slender fingers to smooth Chen Wanli's brow, and spoke softly and gently:

"The Father God and the elders were discussing privately that the three ancestral gods seemed somewhat uneasy, fearing that the clan's territory would be attacked by the army of Yin demons. Is Brother Chen also worried about this?"

Chen Wanli shook his head and instead asked, "When your Xiang Shou clan sought refuge, didn't you consider going to the Moon Extreme Divine Platform? Didn't True Lord Ye try to recruit you to explore the possibility?"

Xiang Qing was taken aback for a moment before saying, "I heard from the elders in the clan that when the Xiang Shou clan was trying to avoid disaster, they split into three groups to choose a location. It seems that one group went to the Endless City, but none of them came back."

In the midst of the panic, I was unable to investigate further and do not know whether the journey was interrupted or an accident occurred in Endless City.

In recent years, Xiangjue has found some clues that may be related to the Endless City.

But so much time has passed that the clan is unlikely to make a big fuss about it anymore.

Furthermore, although the Beastmaster Clan had some knowledge of the Moon God Platform's formations, they lacked methods to deal with the Soul Devourer...

"Hey, you suspect..."

At this point, a look of astonishment flashed in Xiang Qing's clear eyes.

Chen Wanli remained silent as the Wind Ancestor of the Huaxu Clan vanished from the Moon Extreme Divine Platform.

A group of people from the Xiangshou clan once disappeared at the Moon God Platform.

If Gao Xin's Xin metal hadn't met me, would it have also disappeared at the Moon God Platform?

"Go out and ask around for me if any members of the various clans have disappeared at the Moon God Platform, or been lured there by others?"

Chen Wanli thought for a moment and then said.

"What is Brother Chen suspecting?" Xiang Qing couldn't help but ask.

"It's hard to say."

Chen Wanli raised his chin, gesturing for Xiang Qing to ask, then lowered his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

Soon, Xiang Qing returned.

The answer was revealed: the gods had naturally considered it in their early years, but the danger of devouring souls meant the risk of annihilation. Even if they were tempted in the past, the gods had not entertained such thoughts again.

"Brother Chen, Father God told me to tell you that the demon army has set off from Heavenly Demon Valley."

Xiang Qing glanced at Chen Wanli cautiously.

She really felt sorry for this man. He had to risk his life to confront the Dragon King and the Demon King, and he also had to win people's hearts and lead the team well.

Father God Xiang Dehong oversees the Xiang Shou clan, who are united in their resolve, and he puts in a lot of effort.

The team led by Chen Wanli was a hodgepodge of people, each with their own agenda.

"Hmm. It's alright. Just tell them I'm in seclusion when you go out. Have them find out the whereabouts of the demon army and report back to me immediately if there's any news."

To Xiang Qing's surprise, Chen Wanli did not panic at the sight of the demon army. But he also did not step forward as a brave guardian as before.

Xiang Qing waited for a long time, but all he got was a mischievous big hand that climbed up the two jade peaks.

"what?"

The little girl let out a shy gasp, and was then pulled into the man's warm embrace.

"Ugh, ugh... I still have to go and deliver the message!"

"That's where you're wrong. At times like these, you have to seize every second and strive for 'progress'!"

The roguish yet assertive voice left Xiang Qing somewhat dazed.

Is it really because I'm not "trying hard enough"?

But recently my own skills have improved, and I'm actually faster than my sister. It's clearly my sister who isn't working hard!

The jumble of thoughts was quickly interrupted by the automatically operating Blissful Dharma.

She became engrossed in her "spiritual practice".

Making progress is really hard!

Once this man starts studying, he never stops.

I was so exhausted from studying physiognomy that my head was spinning. I almost wished that my sister, the physiognomist, could help me improve.

……

In the city, there is a guesthouse.

Several of the progenitors of the gods, as well as the elites of the race, were among them.

Lei Ze, Kua Fu Chong, Fang Feng Ting, and even Xuan Lie and Xuan San all looked anxious.

Lei Jiang still acted carefree and irresponsible, and was one of the few younger generation members to sit under the command of the gods.

"The news that the Heavenly Demon Army has deployed all 300,000 troops has been confirmed. There has been no movement from the Demon Race yet."

Lei Jiang spoke in a deep voice about the latest news he had received.

"The entire Heavenly Demon Army has come out? Is the Heavenly Demon King leading the troops personally?" Ancestor Lei Ze's face was completely devoid of composure.

"We don't know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Demon King yet, but we have heard that the Heavenly Demon Army is gathering to avenge Demon King Lusu." Lei Jiang shook his head.

Fang Fengpei respectfully bowed to the elders before saying, "Our clan has received information that the demon army has not yet shown any signs of mobilization."

"The demon race and the demon clan move in and out together. If the Heavenly Demon King leads the team, the Demon Emperor might cooperate!"

"As the saying goes, 80,000 Heavenly Demons can rival a God Ancestor! The fighting power of 300,000 Heavenly Demons should not be underestimated!"

"The 300,000 Heavenly Demon Army alone is already difficult for my divine race to contend with. If the demon race and the Earth Demon Valley make any further moves, the divine race will be doomed!"

"Elders, please don't be anxious. Ancestor Chen will surely make a decision!" Xiang Dehong coughed lightly.

Before he could finish speaking, Kuafu Chong retorted, "You make it sound so easy. Your entire Xiangshou clan is currently in Wangmang City, under the personal protection of Chen Shenzu, so naturally you have nothing to fear."

“Chongzu is right. But Chen Shenzu may not stay here forever. Perhaps tomorrow Chen Shenzu will go to Kuafu City with Chongzu.”

"Ha, Kuafu had no goddess to see him off! Chen Shenzu is afraid of death and has no interest!"

Kuafu Chong chuckled, his tone a mix of sincerity and mockery.

Xiang Dehong's anger visibly rose, but he did not lash out.

Lei Jiangshen glanced at Kuafu Chong but said nothing.

Xuan Lie smoothed things over, saying, "With the Yin Demon army setting off, everyone's holding their breath, so let's all keep quiet!"

Just then, Xiang Qing, her pretty face flushed, walked in, her eyes brimming with tears that seemed to melt away.

Anyone with a little experience in indulging in pleasure can tell what just happened.

Coupled with Kuafu Chong's earlier sarcasm, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

The members of the Xiangshou clan were all somewhat embarrassed.

Xiang Jing quickly stepped forward, took his sister's hand, and helped her out of the predicament.

But Xiangqing came to deliver a message.

"Brother Chen said that the demon army has moved. He asked all the gods to come up with a plan and then act accordingly."

"Once we ascertain the whereabouts of the Heavenly and Earthly Demon Kings, and if there is anything that must be reported, then we will inform him."

"???" Kuafu Chonghuo stood up abruptly, his face flushed, and said, "Does Ancestor Chen mean that we should fight against the demons on our own?"

"If we were to truly encounter the power of the two Demon Kings of Heaven and Earth, there would be no chance of returning to report; we would likely be instantly annihilated!"

Fang Fengting couldn't help but mutter something to himself.

Although no one said anything openly, at a time when everyone was frantic with worry about the demon army, Chen Wanli was enjoying himself with a beautiful woman and spouting such outrageous remarks!

How is this any different from those tyrants?

Fang Fengpei coughed lightly, signaling to his ancestor not to talk nonsense.

Although Ancestor Lei Ze did not speak, he was clearly surprised and taken aback.

Although Xuan San and Xuan Lie appeared expressionless, they were clearly moving closer to Xiang Dehong, almost as if they were discussing bringing all the descendants of the Hua Xu clan to Wangmang City in front of everyone.

The cities of each clan were built according to the clan's size.

After all, building a city consumes countless spiritual materials, and in order to save materials, no one would build a city that is too spacious for no reason.

It is impossible to bring all clans and ethnic groups under one city; it cannot accommodate them all.

Besides, each clan has its own treasure trove, spirit fields, spirit plant gardens, and so on. How can they just give them up?

Chen Wanli's reaction this time was truly unexpected.

This is completely unlike his usual behavior.

Old Ancestor Lei Ze pondered whether he should go and have a talk with Chen Wanli.

But Lei Jiang grabbed him and transmitted his voice, "Ancestor, do not act rashly. Chen Shenzu is in Wangmang City, assisting with battle formations, and cannot do anything to the Dragon King."

Moreover, in open field battles, facing the Heavenly Demon King? This situation can't rely solely on Chen Shenzu!

"What do you mean, kid? Are you saying that Chen Shenzu is also out of options and is going to back down?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Let's talk about this in private. For now, let's help Chen Shenzu save face."

Lei Jiang rolled his eyes. Under everyone's watchful eyes, the grandfather and grandson couldn't even whisper to each other.

He glanced around at everyone present. Fang Fengpei was quick-witted, and Xuan Sanxuanlie was a die-hard loyalist, so he first looked at these three guys:

"Since Ancestor Chen has asked us to come up with a plan, why don't you gods first discuss a way to resist the demon army..."
