Chapter 2419: The Power of Chaos!

The Yellow Wind Monster and the Rhinoceros Demon both paled at the news, glaring reproachfully at the Book Demon, who reluctantly toned down his behavior.

After narrowly escaping death, the Book Demon's personality changed drastically; had the Flame Mouse not known his original nature, he might have thought the Book Demon was no longer the same being.

Though the Book Demon cannot freely write or alter fate like Ancestor Hongjun's Book of Destiny, he can glimpse the Heavenly Mechanism.

What he gains by glimpsing the Heavenly Mechanism must be paid for with his own lifespan.

It was precisely because of this that the Book Demon was able to quickly establish himself among the demon clans and earn the favor of the Demon Emperor.

The Book Demon said, "We have already left the demon clans; they can no longer control us, the Ten Great Demon Sages—this authority is meaningless to us. Why bind ourselves further?"

"You still don't understand."

The Flame Mouse sighed in frustration, "What you're doing will bring disaster—it will drag the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan into war together!"

"But the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan have always been at odds; fighting is routine. Even the Human Clan was nearly wiped out because the Demon Clan sought to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword…"

"If you know that, why plunge yourself into this mess? We should quietly grow rich and secretly support Luo Fu Saint!"

In the end, the Flame Mouse persuaded the Book Demon.

They remained on Spirit Snake Island—only by staying there could they secure Spirit Snake Island for Luo Fu.

Moreover, none of them were certain whether Luo Fu would even accept them; both the Flame Mouse and the Book Demon felt they needed sufficient strength before pledging loyalty to Luo Fu.

…

News of the events at Gai Jiuyou Mountain had reached Zhen Yao Mountain.

When Zhu Yan heard, his eyes gleamed with excitement—he knew their chance had come.

"Have you heard about Teng She?"

Teng She nodded. "This is indeed our opportunity. And we should easily be able to seize the Chaos Gourd from Gai Jiuyou's side."

"Summon Taotie and the others."

For Taotie to replicate the Chaos Gourd, he must first locate its aura—but the Chaos Gourd's aura is not easy to find.

Yet Zhao Gongming and Daoist Randeng went to Gai Jiuyou Mountain precisely to find the Chaos Gourd, and the Chaos Gourd holds great value for Ancestor Minghe.
