Chen Nan slept for three days and three nights!
This was definitely the most peaceful and secure sleep he had enjoyed since arriving in the Immortal Realm!
He woke up at noon!
A demon woman in a colorful dress led him to Yan Guang.
At the same time, Chen Nan inquired about the avian plague.
The demon woman excitedly told him that the avian plague had been resolved and her people were recovering.
Before long, Chen Nan arrived at Yan Guang's residence.
At that moment, Yan Guang was discussing something with Tu An.
Chen Nan bowed, "Greetings to both seniors!"
Yan Guang said, "No need for formalities, please sit!"
"Yes!"
Facing one of the five top powers in the demon realm, Chen Nan felt a bit of pressure.
Yan Guang spoke, "Young friend Chen Nan, Tu An and I were just discussing the avian plague. What are your thoughts on this matter?"
Chen Nan offered his perspective, "This avian plague appeared rather baffling!"
"I am from the mortal world, and although its history is only a few thousand years."
"Generally, large-scale epidemics only occur after major disasters!"
Following major disasters with epidemics had become an ironclad rule!
Yet, Chen Nan knew that the demon race had not experienced any major disasters for tens of thousands of years.
Yan Guang's gaze was profound. "This king also suspects that the avian plague was not a natural disaster but deliberately caused by someone! However, there's no evidence to be found!"
Just then, a middle-aged man walked in from outside. "My King, the Third Young Master of the Heavenly Demon Cave, Fan Qian, is here to visit and requests an audience on a matter of importance!"
Tu An frowned. "What business would people from the Heavenly Demon Cave have here?"
The demon realm had five major powers, and the Heavenly Demon Cave was the stronghold of the Eight-Eyed Demon Spider.
Fan Qian was the third son of the Eight-Eyed Spider Emperor!
Yan Guang said calmly, "Let him in!"
"Yes!"
A moment later!
A young man in a black robe, elegant and handsome, holding a folding fan, walked in with a smile!
Behind him followed two powerhouses from the Heavenly Demon Cave.
"Greetings, Elder Peng!"
Fan Qian bowed.
"Nephew, why have you come to my avian race?" Yan Guang and the Eight-Eyed Spider Emperor were both of the same cultivation realm, so addressing Fan Qian as nephew was natural.
Fan Qian said, "I heard about the avian plague in your race. Coincidentally, I possess an ancient medicinal prescription, and I came hoping to help your race overcome this crisis!"
"Oh? Is that so?" Yan Guang gave a knowing smile. "Nephew, do you truly have an ancient prescription to cure the avian plague?"
Fan Qian humbly replied, "I obtained it by chance and am unsure of its efficacy, but I am willing to present this ancient prescription to Elder Peng!"
"You are most kind, nephew!" Yan Guang said, "There is something you may not know, nephew. The avian plague crisis in my race has already been resolved."
Fan Qian was taken aback, clearly not expecting Yan Guang to say that!
He then said, "Is what Elder Peng says true? Has the avian plague crisis been resolved? From what I know, the avian plague last appeared a million years ago. Does your avian race perhaps have a hereditary prescription?"
Yan Guang laughed heartily. "Our avian race has resided here for a million years, blessed by the Divine Tree and protected by the Divine Spring. A mere avian plague is nothing!"
"Oh, right. Did your father know about your visit to the avian race this time?"
Fan Qian respectfully replied, "My father is in seclusion when I left, so he is unaware of this matter!"
Yan Guang nodded slightly. "If I recall correctly, your father has been trapped as a ninth-level Demon Emperor for over ninety thousand years. If he cannot break through his bottleneck and ascend to the Divine Realm, his lifespan will end in ten thousand years, correct?"
Fan Qian: "Yes!"
Yan Guang sighed lightly. "Even reaching the peak of Immortal Emperor or Demon Emperor does not grant immunity from death!"
To achieve immortality, one must become a Saint!
Fan Qian: "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the cycle of heaven. Elder Peng need not be sad!"
Yan Guang hummed in acknowledgement. "Thank you for traveling so far, nephew. Although my avian race has resolved the avian plague crisis, we will remember this kindness."
"Someone, escort nephew Fan Qian to rest. We will host a banquet tonight to entertain our friends from the Heavenly Demon Cave!"
"Yes!"
------
After the powerhouses from the Heavenly Demon Cave departed!
Tu An grinned. "My King, haven't you been unable to find the culprit?"
"In my opinion, the culprit has delivered himself to our doorstep!"
"It's obvious that the spread of the avian plague was orchestrated by people from the Heavenly Demon Cave!"
"Otherwise, they wouldn't have come offering medicine at this critical juncture." At this point, a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.
Yan Guang said, "Continue!"
Tu An was merely a Heavenly Immortal-level demon cultivator, and he had countless subordinates of this caliber!
Yet, Tu An was appreciated and favored by Yan Guang, which was inseparable from his intelligence.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have appointed Tu An as the leader of the Myriad Demon Cave!
To put it simply, it was not easy for a genius to emerge among the avian race.
Tu An continued, "Fan Qian's motive in doing this is nothing more than to make our avian race indebted to him! After all, his brothers are vying for the future throne!"
"If our avian race were to support Fan Qian at a crucial moment, he would certainly be able to secure the position of Spider Emperor!"
"Unfortunately, we met our brother Chen Nan, who has resolved our avian plague crisis for us!"
"My King, I think we should kill Fan Qian!"
"This man's methods are despicable and he resorts to any means!"
"He must not be allowed to leave alive!"
They were fortunate to have encountered Chen Nan; otherwise, the avian race would have been led by the nose.
Yan Guang looked at Chen Nan. "Brother Chen Nan, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
Although the other party's strength was very weak!
Yet, in Yan Guang's heart, he was considered an equal!
After all, his blood flowed with a pale golden hue.
"Since Elder Peng asks, I will offer my humble opinion." Chen Nan said, "According to what you said earlier, the Spider Emperor's lifespan is nearing its end, and his sons will inevitably compete for the throne."
"It is understandable that they would engage in conflict and try to win over other factions!"
"However, their methods are too base!"
"As for Fan Qian... if I am not mistaken, he likely has another hidden intention!"
"If I hadn't appeared, with your spirit, you wouldn't have surrendered to him even if you died, would you?"
"At that time, he could have used the spread of the avian plague to completely annihilate the avian race!"
"Thus earning great merit and the Spider Emperor's recognition!"
"If that were the case, he would very likely become the next Spider Emperor!"
Yan Guang nodded with satisfaction. "You are correct. Our avian race and the Heavenly Demon Cave have always been mortal enemies!"
"Our avian race also has an inherent advantage over the Eight-Eyed Demon Spider, so it is obviously impossible for us to submit to them!"
One flies in the sky, and the other crawls on the ground. If a real fight were to break out, the Eight-Eyed Demon Spider would be no match for the avian race.
In layman's terms, there was a bloodline suppression.
Yan Guang asked, "Then, in your opinion, should Fan Qian be killed or kept alive?"
Tu An chimed in, "This man is deeply cunning and cannot be kept alive!"
Chen Nan: "No, Fan Qian must not die, and even if he must die, it cannot be within the territory of the avian race!"
"Not only that, but we should even seek to befriend him!"
Yan Guang's brow furrowed. He considered himself quite intelligent,
But at this moment, he was completely bewildered.
After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Brother Chen, what exactly are you planning?"
