When They Both Suffer Heavy Losses...
The Hanging Temple is located in a side hall or grotto where the Aquatic Clan reside.
The Clam Clan opened their shells, and the large Clam Pearl emitted a soft light, reflected in the shimmering water on the winding river surface.
The river is covered with duckweed, and various dishes are displayed there, a dazzling array, but it's unclear who made them.
The Aquatic Clan are having a flowing water feast.
When Li Mo arrived, all the demons were already soaking in the water, eating and discussing the matter of the Heavenly Jade.
Sky Dragon Little Li was a little curious, so he reached out and picked up a piece of sashimi.
"Boss Mo, don't you even wash your hands before you eat?"
As a cultural dragon, Wu Dameng always washes its claws before eating.
There's no need for that.
Li Mo grabbed a slice of raw fish and ate it in an instant.
The taste was quite good, fresh, tender, and melt-in-your-mouth; it must be Silver Scale Fish.
Even the Silver Scale Clan said it was delicious.
Um...
Li Mo watched the Silver Scale Fish demon feasting not far away and wondered if this could be considered a Mad Demon's Diary.
It seems that in the understanding of the Demon Race, those who have not developed intelligence are not considered demons, but merely wild beasts.
Another type is the Calamity Beast.
Among the Demon Race, the Calamity Beast are somewhat like the vicious and wicked among the human race. They are not only ostracized by humans, but even the proper Demon Race is unwilling to associate with them, classifying them as beasts.
The Cry Dragon Clan is often cursed as Calamity Beast (mainly by the Avian Clan), but they are not actually included in this category.
The demons sat at the flowing banquet, chatting about everything under the sun.
Li Mo had a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he had been attending a banquet in the countryside in his past life.
"If our Aquatic Clan obtains the Heavenly Jade, I will surely be able to revert to my ancestral Dragon Whale. At that time, I will also carry a piece of land on my back. If any human wants to live there, they will have to pay me rent. I've heard that human rent is quite expensive."
That heroic voice—it's unmistakably Guo Jing's.
"What do you think would happen if our Shrimp Clan's bloodline became stronger?"
"By the way, Wu Mo already possesses the bloodline of True Dragon. If he comes into contact with the Heavenly Jade, wouldn't he truly be able to transform into a dragon?"
"If True Dragon were to emerge from our Aquatic Clan, wouldn't we dominate the Southern Border from now on? Wouldn't we be able to walk sideways with impunity?"
"Aren't you Crab Clan?"
"Forget about the details, the important thing is that we must keep the Heavenly Jade with the Aquatic Clan!"
"Yes, we must unite and do everything we can to help Boss Mo!"
The water monsters became more and more excited as they spoke.
He seemed even more confident than Sky Dragon himself.
Li Mo: "..."
Why did this suddenly come up with him again?
Divine Jade...
Even if he obtains the Divine Jade, he won't keep it for himself.
Looking at the clear and eager eyes of each Aquatic Clan genius, Little Li suddenly felt a pang of conscience.
It's probably destined to disappoint everyone.
Suddenly, Little Li felt that the high expectations placed on him by the demons carried an inexplicable weight.
Of course.
If he hadn't taken that spot, the Aquatic Clan would most likely have missed out on the Jade Phoenix God.
But he himself instilled in them a greater desire to see the True Dragon emerge.
We'll find other ways to compensate them afterwards.
Thinking this through, Li Mo spoke:
"There are so many clans vying for the Heavenly Jade, the competition is fierce, and I am not entirely confident of victory."
"I met many powerful Demon Race geniuses today. If I encounter them, I must be extra careful."
He shared the information he had gathered, all of which came from other powerful Demon Race geniuses.
The Aquatic Clan were stunned, increasingly convinced that Sky Dragon was not only powerful in bloodline but also a meticulous demon, capable of obtaining such accurate information.
"What about the Green Phoenix Goddess? Elder Mo, do you know anything about her?"
The Aquatic Clan geniuses believed that the only person who could potentially threaten Li Mo was the woman from the Green Phoenix Clan who was suspected of possessing the bloodline of True Phoenix.
A little, but not much.
Li Mo remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
In what aspect?
The Aquatic Clan all listened intently, their ears perked up, and some even took out small notebooks, ready to listen and take notes.
"She has great stamina."
"???"
The demons were bewildered.
Does this mean the Green Phoenix Goddess is very fast?
That was indeed very fast.
The Green Phoenix clan can traverse the Azure Netherworld, achieving the effect of being close yet worlds apart.
As expected of the Sky Dragon Boss from outside the Southern Border, if they weren't all cultured demons, they really wouldn't understand his description.
"By the way, many half-demons came to the Hanging Temple this time."
Guo Jing took out several jars of wine and poured them into the banquet, so that everyone soaking in the river could enjoy them together.
"Is there?"
Li Mo raised an eyebrow. He had been wandering around the temple for a long time, but his Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye had not seen any information about half-demon.
"Those half-demons were the last to arrive."
Guo Jing, her face reeking of alcohol, said, "You threw me really far away. I only returned to the Hanging Temple in the evening and just then saw it."
"I feel... they are all quite strong."
"A half-demon..."
Li Mo couldn't help but think of his brother Murong.
Murong Xiao was targeted by the Demon Summoning Cult Sect because of his half-demon nature, and almost became some kind of Divine Child.
Could those half-demons also be involved in this matter?
"We'll know tomorrow when we use the Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye."
Li Mo silently made a mental note of this.
Then he took out some fine wine, gave a slight jolt, and broke the jar, spilling the wine into the water.
"This is wine I brought from the human race. Please have a taste."
"Thank you so much, Boss Mo!"
"Tsk tsk, this aroma... it's time to show off my enormous capacity."
The Aquatic Clan don't seem to have a very high alcohol tolerance.
Before long, a bunch of belly-up demons floated on the river.
At the same time.
In another side hall of the Hanging Temple.
Including Zhi Duoluo, there were eight half-demons sitting at the same table, and their Demon Race features were all very different.
Some had fish gills on their necks, some had tiger stripes all over their skin, some were enormous, and some had several fox tails...
But they all have one thing in common.
Their expressions were utterly cold; one could hardly discern any human emotions or desires in them.
"Does that Wu Mo truly possess the bloodline of True Dragon?" Qiongqi, a half-demon, licked his lips and asked.
Zhi Duoluo squinted his golden eyes. "Otherwise, there's no way to explain why he's so powerful."
"If he falls into our hands, it will be crucial for the revival of our Great Shang True Dragon..."
"It's not just him, but also that Green Phoenix; her True Phoenix bloodline is even more important!"
"But those two are the cream of the crop among demons, their combat power far surpasses that of others of the same level. It will be very difficult for us to take down even one of them."
The half-demons fell into a deep thought.
"You are unaware of this."
Zhi Duoluo smiled, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.
"Wu Mo and Luan Bing have already clashed. I saw them fighting tooth and nail. They're bound to settle things once and for all, and they might even fight to the death over the Divine Jade."
"Why don't we wait until they're both exhausted before making our move? Then we can still get our hands on the Divine Jade."
"This is a two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!"
The half-demons all thought that Zhi Duoluo's plan was very reliable.
That's what we'll do!
