Chapter 1088: Chapter 1085: Repaying Kindness with Betrayal

Lion Candle naturally did not believe that Huan Ying and others could completely cure the Plague; after all, it was considered an incurable disease in the eyes of the Demon Race. Once infected, the soul would inevitably vanish.

Huan Ying did not respond to Lion Candle’s words but instead turned to look at Xu Wendong.

Xu Wendong understood, bit his fingertip, squeezed out a drop of blood, and controlled it to fly in front of Lion Candle.

The moment Lion Candle smelled the scent of Xu Wendong’s blood, its previously listless eyes suddenly lit up.

It didn’t know why Xu Wendong squeezed out his blood, but the blood contained a peculiar scent, seemingly able to wash away all its fatigue and sickness.

Without much thought, it opened its massive mouth and directly swallowed the drop of blood.

However.

A mere drop of blood was simply a drop in the ocean for it, not even enough to fill the gaps between its teeth.

Of course.

This was not important.

What mattered was that it felt a mysterious energy spreading in its belly.

In an instant, its Cultivation Level and Soul Force, like a clear spring, quickly began to recover.

Lion Candle was filled with shock: ”This... what is going on?”

It did not expect that after drinking Xu Wendong’s blood, it would actually recover.

This was unbelievable to it.

Huan Ying: ”Xu Wendong is the savior sent by the heavens to rescue our Demon Race. All he has done is to save our people from the Demon Race.”

”Although your son was killed by him, it is precisely because he consumed your son’s flesh and blood that his blood can become the cure for the Plague.”

”This is fate!”

Xiao Wu also said: ”Indeed, rather than saying Xu Wendong saved our Demon Race, it’s more accurate to say it’s thanks to your son.”

Lion Candle’s eyes revealed a trace of a bitter smile; it could sense that the other party was trying to defend Xu Wendong in this way.

However, it seemed somewhat unnecessary.

Even if Xiao Wu and Huan Ying did not say so, it could not possibly kill Xu Wendong to avenge its son.

After all, he was carrying the burden of the Demon Race’s life and death.

And the most crucial point.

Lion Candle was acutely aware that its son’s illness was far worse than its own; even if Xu Wendong did not kill it, it would not live much longer.

Xu Wendong politely asked: ”Lion Candle elder, how many Demon Race citizens do you have in Lion Ridge?”

Lion Candle: ”I had someone count them yesterday; there are about twelve million in total.”

”·····”

Xu Wendong showed a look of despair beyond words; the number of demon beasts in Lion Ridge exceeded his expectations.

Even if his blood could cure the Plague, the number of demons in Lion Ridge was staggering.

One pound of blood is roughly ten thousand drops.

Ten pounds of blood could treat one hundred thousand demon beasts.

A hundred pounds of blood could cure a million demon beasts.

And Xu Wendong himself weighed merely around one hundred and sixty pounds.

”I have a method that might work.” Huan Ying spoke: ”Lion Candle elder, please find a large demon beast, one with pure blood lineage.”

Lion Candle didn’t understand what Huan Ying meant but still found a massive black bear, as large as a mountain.

The black bear looked like a giant reaching the sky, giving a strong visual impact.

Huan Ying: ”Young Master Xu, may I ask for ten pounds of your blood?”

Xu Wendong: ”Oh, alright.”

Huan Ying looked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu understood immediately and flapped his wings.

Instantly.

Xu Wendong clearly felt a force of Spatial Power envelop his body, and subsequently, his body felt much lighter.

Soon after, a strong sense of weakness swept over him.

He clearly saw a mass of blood emerge from his chest, flash through the air, and enter the black bear’s body.

Xu Wendong’s scalp tingled, not from dizziness but from being shocked by Xiao Wu’s method.

Huan Ying said: ”Lion Candle elder, you can let your people consume the black bear’s blood. If I’m not wrong, its blood should be able to cure the epidemic poison.”

Lion Candle immediately followed Huan Ying’s advice and let its people consume the black bear’s blood.

Just as Huan Ying predicted, the blood of the black bear, containing Xu Wendong’s blood, was indeed substantial and could cure the epidemic poison.

This made Xu Wendong breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Huan Ying thought of this solution; otherwise, he would have had to stay in Lion Ridge for a long time.

After solving the plague in Lion Ridge, Xu Wendong went with Huan Ying and Xiao Wu to the territories of the other seven protectors.

The territories of those seven protectors had also erupted with the plague, though not as severe as Lion Ridge, but causing unrest among the demons.

When Huan Ying brought Xu Wendong to them, all seven protectors were visibly excited.

Some of the protectors even wanted to swear brotherhood with Xu Wendong.

After spending half a month, Xu Wendong traveled through the territories of all nine protectors of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons and then arrived at the main camp.

There were two purposes.

Firstly, to cure the epidemic in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons.

Secondly, the Great Demon of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons wanted to meet Xu Wendong.

Upon hearing that the Demon King of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons wanted to see him, Xu Wendong appeared calm, but inside, he felt inexplicably anxious.

For this was one of the pinnacle presences of battle power in the Demon Realm.

”Great King, Young Master Xu is here.”

In front of a pitch-black cavern, Huan Ying said respectfully.

Whoosh!

Accompanied by a surge of thick beast aura, Xu Wendong instinctively felt as if his soul was about to disintegrate.

The powerful oppression not only was unbearable for his soul but even his Physical Body felt as if it was on the verge of breaking.

This was definitely the most excruciating moment of his life.

Before he could gather his thoughts.

A pair of enormous, deep, cold vertical pupils appeared in the darkness.

The gaze was like two Divine Swords; just one look made Xu Wendong’s scalp crackle and raised a visible layer of goosebumps on his skin.

It even made him feel as if he brushed shoulders with the Grim Reaper.

”Did not expect a human like you to save my Demon Race; speak, what reward do you wish for?” A sonorous voice echoed from the cavern.

Xu Wendong promptly replied: ”Equality between humans and demons; I have never thought of any reward.”

Because Xu Wendong controlled the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, in his eyes, humans and demons made no difference.

Not only humans and demons, even a wild grass, or an Ant, was a complete life.

Overall, no different from human beings.

”Humans and demons are truly equal?” A sigh came from within the cavern.

Xu Wendong said: ”Life does not differentiate between high and low!”

The sonorous voice echoed again: ”You seem very different, both in ability and perspective, unlike ordinary people.”

Xu Wendong remained silent.

And at this moment, an icy voice came from inside the cavern: ”You are so exceptional, and possessing the Ancient Sacred Body, if I eat you, perhaps I could break through shackles and achieve ascension?”

Before the last word had settled, Xu Wendong felt a terrifying killing intent engulf him.

In the next moment.

A force of devouring enveloped him and he was instantly swallowed by Mo Qilin.

Huan Ying was horrified: ”Great King, Xu Wendong is our Demon Race’s benefactor, why reward kindness with enmity?”

A thunderous voice echoed inside the cavern: ”Does this king need to explain things to a junior like you?”
