Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Demon Gathering Array
It took a while before Fatty Zhuge came back to his senses from his earlier daze.
He glanced at Zhu Fei’s playful eyes, and couldn’t help but show a face full of bitterness, but eventually forced a smile and said to Zhu Fei:
"Alright, this time I owe you one. Just tell me what you want to know, and I won’t hide a thing, as long as it’s something I can talk about."
Seeing Fatty Zhuge finally relent, Zhu Fei’s face showed a satisfied smile.
However, the smile on Zhu Fei’s face was soon replaced by seriousness and solemnity.
In a deep voice, he said, "Brother Zhuge, everything earlier was just a joke, please don’t take it to heart."
After a brief pause, Zhu Fei continued, "The Blood Demon Restricted Area you mentioned earlier, what’s the situation there? Is there any direct or indirect connection to the anomalies happening in our Xuanhuang Continent?"
As he said this, the seriousness on Zhu Fei’s face faded, replaced once again by a smile.
"Of course, if you could also tell me about that Spiritual Medicine Garden you mentioned before, that would be even better."
Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s last words, Fatty Zhuge couldn’t help but snark inwardly.
Oh come on, that’s just shameless! I already thought I had no integrity, but Zhu Fei is even worse.
Despite these thoughts, Fatty Zhuge didn’t show anything on the surface but slightly stiffened his expression and also replied in a deep voice:
"Brother Zhu Fei, to be honest, the place we’re in now, this Blood Demon Restricted Area, is a fertile ground for Demonic Qi. As for its connection to the external anomalies, I’m not very clear on that.
But one thing is almost certain, the Black Demon Energy that appeared outside came from this Blood Demon Restricted Area where we are now."
"Just as I thought!"
Zhu Fei’s eyes narrowed sharply, then he surveyed his surroundings, his eyes flickering uncertainly.
He was contemplating whether destroying this Blood Demon Restricted Area could impact the arrival of the blood channel in the real world.
If it could, then what method could he use to completely destroy this seemingly barren yet incredibly sturdy restricted area?
As if he could see Zhu Fei’s thoughts, the usually carefree Fatty Zhuge couldn’t help but flicker his gaze, and his expression subconsciously became more solemn.
Don’t be fooled by his usual carefree, selfish, and cunning demeanor.
But when it comes to matters concerning his own world, he knows where to draw the line.
To put it bluntly, if there were truly problems with the Xuanhuang Continent, it would definitely affect the entire Cultivation Plane.
At that time, even with all his cunning, Zhuge Shuaibo would not fare any better.
So on such issues, Zhuge Shuaibo would not play any tricks.
After pondering for a bit, he finally said to Zhu Fei with a grave expression:
"Brother Zhu Fei, I won’t hide it from you. Actually, one of the main reasons I came here this time is to investigate the matter of Central Sky Wilderness."
Upon hearing Zhuge Shuaibo’s response, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but show a hint of surprise, and his impression of Fatty Zhuge subtly improved again.
For the moment, he didn’t speak, but gestured with his eyes for Zhuge Shuaibo to continue.
Zhuge Shuaibo didn’t keep him guessing, and directly said:
"According to what I’ve gathered, deep in the Blood Demon Restricted Area, there seems to be a Demon Gathering Array that supports everything here..."
"Wait!"
Before Zhuge Shuaibo could finish, Zhu Fei interrupted, "Brother Zhuge, are you saying there’s a Demon Gathering Array in this Blood Demon Restricted Area?"
For some reason, a memory of a magic-gathering array on a plaza flashed in Zhu Fei’s mind.
He remembered that at that time, there was also a sealing around the magic-gathering array to suppress the gathering of Black Demon Energy.
Could the magic-gathering array he saw back then be related to the Demon Gathering Array Zhuge Shuaibo mentioned?
"Hmm, Brother Zhu Fei, is there a problem?"
Zhuge Shuaibo looked at Zhu Fei in confusion.
Zhu Fei nodded, not hiding anything, and recounted his experience in the plaza to Zhuge Shuaibo.
After hearing this, Zhuge Shuaibo furrowed his brows deeply.
Eventually, he shook his head slightly and said, "There might be a connection between the two, but based on my knowledge of the Demon Gathering Array, the situation is probably more complicated, as countless demon creatures surround the array."
"Demon creatures?"
Zhu Fei’s pupils shrank, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn’t grasp it.
"Never mind, Brother Zhuge, just take me to the Demon Gathering Array first. If possible, we can destroy the array first before discussing further."
Zhuge Shuaibo could only smile bitterly at this. Destroying the Demon Gathering Array was never an easy task.
If it were that easy, I would have done it long ago without needing you, Zhu Fei, to say it.
Although this was what he thought, Zhuge Shuaibo did not refuse Zhu Fei’s request, but instead described the dangers of the Demon Gathering Array, and then the two of them proceeded without delay, flying with their Escape Light towards the location of the Demon Gathering Array.
On the way, Zhuge Shuaibo seemed to think of something, and his previously serious face showed a wicked smile.
"Almost forgot, Brother Zhu Fei, the Spiritual Medicine Garden I mentioned earlier, if I’m not mistaken, should be deep inside the Demon Gathering Array."
He rubbed his hands subconsciously and chuckled: "I mean, if, if our operation succeeds, how about we split the spoils seventy-thirty?"
Zhu Fei glanced at Fatty Zhuge’s grinning face and was speechless.
At a time like this, this guy is still thinking about those things. Well, if there really is such an opportunity, it might not be too bad.
With that thought, Zhu Fei nodded, "Sure, seventy for me, thirty for you."
"Uh..."
Zhuge Shuaibo was taken aback, but he quickly shook his head.
"No way, that’s too unfair. How about we go fifty-fifty or else forget about it entirely."
Zhu Fei found it amusing and didn’t want to argue with the fatty on this matter, so he nodded.
"Alright, let’s do it your way."
"Uh..."
So it’s settled, but why do I feel like I’m on the losing end?
Fatty Zhuge’s face was full of suspicion, while a faint sadness inexplicably arose in his heart.
Alas, my poor Immortal Spirit Grass...
