Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 482 - 465: The Terrifying Bigwig’s Plan

"Mo Wu, do you know what the consequences of deceiving me are?" Despite being greatly astonished in his heart, Sun Wukong’s expression remained unchanged, and his voice was full of threatening implications as he spoke to Mo Wu. Mo Wu nodded and said, "I know, but, I have no need to deceive you. Now that the Demon Monarch has been resurrected, not only has his strength not regressed, but his thoughts have become even more meticulous. Now that he is collaborating with Ling Weiyang, once this trial in the Patrolling Celestial World is over, those two will definitely start their plan, and the Demon Monarch will also continue with that third step he did not execute back then!"

"However, as far as I know, Xi Zhao died before the annihilation of the Dominion of Soil! It was the current Domain Lord of the Annihilation Demon Nation, Mo Mietian, who led the Annihilation Demon Nation in the destruction of the Dominion of Soil, not Xi Zhao. Clearly, you have lied about this!" Sun Wukong’s thoughts were extremely meticulous. He wasn’t too shocked by what Mo Wu said and quickly found the loophole in Mo Wu’s statement.

Mo Wu said they designed Xi Zhao’s death only after the failure of Xi Zhao’s second plan and the destruction of the Dominion of Soil. However, in fact, Xi Zhao died first, and then the Dominion of Soil was annihilated. If Mo Wu wasn’t deceiving him, then there must be some hidden details, which is why Sun Wukong asked this question.

Mo Wu sighed deeply and said, "You’re right, the situation back then indeed began with the death of Xi Zhao followed by the uncontrolled Wasteland Soil Stele leading to the Dominion of Soil’s destruction. However, there is still some extremely confidential information regarding this matter. Back then, I, Mo Mietian, Mo You, Long Tian, and the Evil Monarch, the five of us, were the Demon Monarch’s most trusted confidantes. Among us five, the Evil Monarch was the leader. At that time, the creation of the Nine Thunder Fire Blazing Flame Cannons in the Li Fire Realm was facilitated by our group for communication between the two parties."

"After the Li Fire Realm’s affairs were exposed, the Demon Monarch was worried that it would implicate him, so he staged a play with a few of us. Except for the Evil Monarch, the four of us, coveting the Demon Monarch’s position and the Heavenly Stele, initiated a coup with our followers, and it was Mo Mietian who took away the World Suppressing Stele and destroyed No. 1. To make the play convincing to everyone, the Demon Monarch indeed handed over No. 1 to Mo Mietian and forcibly helped Mo Mietian to acknowledge ownership. Of course, the Demon Monarch didn’t truly die that time, but faked his death. By doing so, he changed from being overt to covert, and if any plans were exposed thereafter, people would not suspect him anymore!"

"After that, he commanded us five in secret to proceed with the second plan, which involved the Wasteland Soil Stele going out of control. Although this plan succeeded, it did not achieve the Demon Monarch’s goal, and overall, this plan still failed. Just as the Demon Monarch expected, no one suspected that this matter was related to our Annihilation Demon Nation. In the subsequent battle that destroyed the Dominion of Soil, we also deliberately erased all traces connecting us to the event!"

"But, after two consecutive failures, the Demon Monarch not only did not give up but became even crazier. One day, he called us five to a secret chamber, where he detailed his third plan to us. It was this plan that made us think we must kill the Demon Monarch. The next day, the five of us gathered together to discuss the Demon Monarch’s third plan. During the meeting, the Evil Monarch first suggested that the plan absolutely could not be carried out because, whether the plan failed or succeeded, the Annihilation Demon Nation was sure to face a catastrophe. But when discussing how to stop this plan, we disagreed; the Evil Monarch felt we could persuade the Demon Monarch to abandon the plan, while the four of us decided to kill the Demon Monarch. The Demon Monarch’s ambition could no longer be contained!"

"Therefore, we later planned this assassination of the Demon Monarch. Since he had faked his death before, No. 1 was in Mo Mietian’s hands, and Xi Zhao had already lost control of the Heavenly Stele. Moreover, the Demon Monarch took no precautions against the four of us. Besides, we also poisoned his food, so it didn’t take much effort to kill him. However, when it came to destroying his soul, we ultimately hesitated, and during that moment of hesitation, the Demon Monarch’s soul escaped!"

"When the Evil Monarch discovered that we had actually killed the Demon Monarch, to avenge the Demon Monarch, he single-handedly confronted the four of us. The result was that the Evil Monarch, too, died!"

Having said all this in one breath, Mo Wu looked exceedingly sorrowful, and Mo You beside him remained quiet. This matter had always been buried in the hearts of the four, never revealed to anyone, and it was also the greatest pain in their conscience—sacrificing huge personal ties for righteousness seemed easy to say, but was incredibly difficult to do.

"What was Xi Zhao’s ultimate purpose in doing all this?"

"The Demon Monarch was once the Domain Lord of the Annihilation Demon Nation, the foremost among the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms. Whether in terms of wisdom, combat power, or cultivation, he could be considered the strongest in the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms. Yet, after reaching that peak, he discovered that there was a chasm in front of him—a chasm that he simply could not cross. And that chasm was set by the eight Law Enforcers."

"The chasm you’re mentioning, is it about the inability to break through the power of a Domain Lord Level?"

"How do you know? Could it be your strength? No, that’s not right, you’re currently only at the Supreme Peak of the Nine Patterns, not even at the Domain Lord Level!"

"I had a friend who also reached the peak of the Domain Lord Level, but when he tried to break through, he was punished by the Law Enforcers. Though he was fortunate enough to survive, he lost most of his combat power!"

"You’re right. Those eight Law Enforcers established rules for this universe, stating that no one is allowed to exceed the strength of the Domain Lord Peak. Anyone who attempts to break through in secret will be executed. When the Demon Monarch tried to surpass that limit, he was struck down by the Law Enforcers, who stripped him of part of his power. From then on, all of the Demon Monarch’s thoughts were focused on how to deal with those eight Law Enforcers. The Demon Monarch aimed to advance to a higher tier, and the only way to do so was to eliminate the eight Law Enforcers."

Wukong’s heart trembled; he had not expected Xi Zhao to have been such a tyrannical figure, plotting to kill those eight Law Enforcers. This was indeed the way of the Demon Monarch – if you dare obstruct me, even heaven can be destroyed. Wukong picked up Mo Wu’s point, "So, did Xi Zhao first plan the incident with the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon in the Li Fire Realm? Hoping to use the Nine Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannons to bombard and kill the Law Enforcers?"

"Yes, but the method to create the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon had long been lost. After the great war in ancient times, those eight Law Enforcers had already destroyed everything that could threaten their existence. However, the Demon Monarch gathered intelligence and single-handedly devised a new type of Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon. He once told me that as long as the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon was activated, it would surely result in the fall of a Law Enforcer. And while researching the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon, he accidentally discovered the secret of the World Suppressing Stele."

"The secret of the World Suppressing Stele you’re talking about, is it that the World Suppressing Stele was originally a Seal Stone, which sealed the souls of the Underworld Venerate and the Pioneer?" The demon creature nodded somewhat surprised, "That’s right, that’s the secret. After discovering this, the Demon Monarch hatched another plan. He intended to trigger the seal of the World Suppressing Stele, absorbing the remnant souls of the Underworld Venerate and the Pioneer within it, so he could break through to a new realm before the Law Enforcers could stop him."

"So Xi Zhao targeted No.3 of the Wasteland Soil in the Dominion of Soil? Does that mean the seal of Wasteland Soil No.3 was actually broken by Xi Zhao?"

"What you say isn’t wrong, but it isn’t entirely correct either. The Demon Monarch didn’t directly involve himself in this matter; he has always been manipulating the situation from the shadows. The one who broke the seal of Wasteland Soil No.3... was someone else!"

"Who was it?"

"You know this person as well, and you’ve clashed with him. By now, he should have already returned to the Demon Monarch’s side!"

"Are you talking about Luo Chen?"

"Haha, I didn’t expect you to be so clever, yes, him, Luo Chen!"

"How could it be him? Isn’t he the son of the Dominion Lord of Soil?"

"That’s only what you think. Luo Chen indeed was the son of the Dominion of Soil’s Domain Lord, but the current Luo Chen has already been switched out. When the grand scheme firstly began, the Demon Monarch targeted various forces for highly specific infiltration, and Luo Chen was the part of that grand scheme. At the beginning of that grand plan, the Demon Monarch sent someone to stay close to the real Luo Chen, meticulously observing and recording the true Luo Chen’s every word and deed, along with many, many details! Then at the crucial moment, that person killed Luo Chen and took his place!"

"You mean, the current Luo Chen is an impostor?" Wukong couldn’t help but inhale sharply. In that instant, he felt his hair stand on end! (To be continued.
