Chapter 2498: Truthful Words Are Unpleasant to Hear!

"Zhu Yan, truthful words are unpleasant to hear, and good medicine tastes bitter. Even if this makes you uncomfortable, you must remember it—otherwise, our ferocious beasts will be doomed forever."

Teng She looked at Zhu Yan, his gaze slowly growing serious, and Zhu Yan gave an almost imperceptible nod.

He thought of something? Zhu Yan immediately took Teng She to find Ying Long and Jin Wu.

"Where is Jin Wu?"

"He's right over there, going with Bi Fang to search the rock cave," Hun Dun said.

Hun Dun very much wanted to leave, but his abilities made it troublesome—he wasn't particularly strong among the Ten Ferocious Beasts and had to rely on others.

Therefore, it was fine for Ying Long and Jin Wu to go together while Hun Dun stayed here.

He had guarded this place for nearly a thousand years; he was already used to it.

"Let's go find Jin Wu together."

None of them understood why they needed to go find Jin Wu—what was Zhu Yan and Teng She's reason? Ying Long didn't ask; he knew even if he asked, he wouldn't get an answer.

Among the Ten Ferocious Beasts, Zhu Yan and Teng She had the tightest lips.

"Right up ahead."

"Hun Dun mentioned earlier—they wanted to use the rock cave's rebound force to cultivate, or perhaps find a way to shatter the demonic seal within their bodies."

"Can it work?" Zhu Yan asked.

"Of course not."

It wasn't that Teng She looked down on them—it was that they simply lacked the ability; if they had it, they would have shattered the bindings of Zhen Yao Mountain long ago.

Since Teng She had come, he knew Jin Wu's abilities were indeed connected to them.

Jin Wu had many connections to Dong Huang Tai Yi and Di Jun—if Jin Wu could somehow benefit from their glory, perhaps the demon race might lend them a hand?

Jin Wu heard their purpose and smiled, shaking his head, "Brother Zhu Yan, didn't you already know my situation? Isn't it a bit late to bring this up now?"

"Di Jun has recently been triumphant—he's grown Jin Wu wings!"

This simple sentence caused Jin Wu's face to change drastically—from its original pallor, it slowly flushed red, then erupted into wild joy.

Ying Long and Hun Dun were baffled, staring fixedly at Jin Wu.

"What's wrong?" Ying Long asked first.

But Jin Wu asked, "So that means Di Jun's Jin Wu wings have fully grown, and the demon race can once again dominate the land?"

"Yes."

Zhu Yan understood Jin Wu—after all, Di Jun's Jin Wu wings were the same as his own; he too had been crippled by Jin Wu wings, having had his own cut off.

If a human could grow Jin Wu wings, could Jin Wu's grow back too?

After the ancient demonic god war ended, Jin Wu's wings were directly severed—to prevent them from escaping Zhen Yao Mountain.

With Jin Wu wings, they could fly over Zhen Yao Mountain and escape the barrier; Jin Wu wings were truly powerful—no one dared underestimate their might.

Dong Huang Tai Yi and Di Jun were so powerful precisely because of their pair of Jin Wu wings.

"Excellent!"

Jin Wu clapped his hands in delight, "That's how it should be! I always said Di Jun would never surrender so easily!"

"Does that mean my Jin Wu wings can grow back too?"

Zhu Yan and Teng She exchanged a glance—they understood Jin Wu's meaning. They had come here specifically waiting for him to say this.

"They could grow back, but we don't know what method Di Jun used."
