Chapter 823 Dilemma
Chapter 823 Dilemma
Taoist Mosquito was dressed the same as always, wearing a black robe that completely concealed his body and face.
Although I couldn't see his expression clearly, the black energy that was as solid as a substance showed that this old man was very angry.
Wen Rui understood his feelings very well. Anyone who is cheated out of all his money by a business partner would be furious and want to tear the other party into pieces.
"Friend Mosquito, I know you are anxious, but please wait and listen to my explanation..."
Before Taoist Mosquito could speak, Wen Rui released pheromones first. The chemical components contained in them were quite mild. "You have to believe me. This is an accident. I can't help myself. The Jade Emperor suddenly gave me the title of Heavenly Venerable. If I don't make some achievements, how can I live up to his trust and cultivation? How can I live up to the authority given to me by Heaven?"
"You are such a despicable person who doesn't keep his word. How dare you lie to me? I don't believe you!"
Mosquito Taoist made a hissing sound. Wen Rui guessed that this was probably the movement of the Zerg when they were angry and roaring. The pheromones they emitted were also full of aggressiveness.
"You obviously did this on purpose. You wanted to use this to use up the water you sold to me and force me to buy more from you. Isn't that right?"
Being exposed in front of his eyes, Wen Rui simply stopped pretending, shrugged, and calmly released pheromones: "Friend Mosquito, business is business, isn't that how business should be done? If you can make a long-term profit, you will never do a one-time deal. I still have a lot of money piled up here, and you are the only customer. If I don't try to sell it all to you, am I going to dump it all for nothing?"
Wen Rui displayed such a shameless face so blatantly that even the old devil Mosquito Taoist was speechless.
"You said I was untrustworthy, and I don't like that either. Did I agree to form an alliance with you?"
Wen Rui pouted and said, "Isn't the relationship between us just a pure buyer and seller? After the payment and goods are settled, I can do whatever I want. Is it your business?"
"You want to form an alliance with me, but you don't show any sincerity. The Jade Emperor knows to give me the title of Heavenly Venerable, but what can you give me? The title of Heavenly Venerable he gave me can actually call upon the authority of Heaven. The position of Jade Emperor you promised has not even been touched yet."
Wen Rui became more and more excited as he spoke, and his pheromones sprayed all over Taoist Mosquito's face: "What's more, if I want to be the Jade Emperor, I have a chance with my own efforts. You didn't see it. The triumphal ceremony was really full of immortal mountains and seas, red flags flying, and drums and music playing. My personal prestige is unprecedented in history and no other immortal can reach it."
"Just now, the Jade Emperor was afraid that his throne was unstable, so he wanted to send Chang'e to offer her his services to me. But I didn't want her, so I rejected her sternly and came to meet you."
At this point, Wen Rui was full of vigor and his back was so straight that Taoist Mosquito seemed three points shorter.
"I'm honored to see you, but you still dare to speak rudely to me. You don't want to continue doing business, right? Then I'm leaving?"
"No, no, no, I was so angry at my incompetent subordinates that I said something rude and offended His Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will be more magnanimous and not hold it against me."
After a few words, the situation immediately reversed. The evil spirit of Taoist Mosquito disappeared completely, and he bowed and knelt down, not daring to look at Wen Rui in disdain anymore.
The defeat at the Savatthi monastery was a great loss to Taoist Mosquito. The lake water that Wen Rui sold to him was completely consumed, and he also lost almost the same amount of blood sea water.
The Demon King's family has no surplus food. The water in the sea of blood is the result of the accumulation of resentment, negative energy, and evil energy from heaven and earth for hundreds of millions of years since the beginning of the world. It is like coal and oil resources. Although the reserves are abundant, they are used less and less.
Especially since the invasion of the mortal world began, in just one year, the amount of blood and water consumed has exceeded the total of the past tens of thousands of years. If this continues, the sea of blood will dry up before the Heavenly Palace and Lingshan Mountain are conquered.
Hunting living people and breeding them to serve as blood bags is like opening up a renewable energy source for Mosquito Taoist, just like new energy sources such as biomass fuel, alcohol gasoline, and hydrogen energy. If the plan succeeds, there will be no need to worry about the blood sea drying up, as fresh blood will continue to flow into the blood sea, and the blood sea clan will be able to grow infinitely like a snowball, uniting the three realms into the blood realm and dominating this world.
But unfortunately, the grand plan is stuck in such an awkward situation.
The newly developed blood demon generals and blood demon insect soldiers are quite powerful, far surpassing the armies of Heaven and Western religions both in terms of quantity and quality.
The Blood Demon General has even developed a cognitive distorting mental ability that can restrain higher-level gods and Buddhas. Looking at the three realms, Mosquito Taoist has a heroic feeling of putting his hands in his pockets, not knowing who his opponent is.
However, his success was due to the new knowledge of the Jie Religion, and his failure was also due to the new knowledge of the Jie Religion. After all his calculations, Taoist Mosquito did not expect that in the Three Realms, there was someone who was more proficient in using the Jie Religion knowledge than him.
Wen Rui used a strategy of cutting off the source of water in the three realms, and transformed the creatures in the three realms into a dehydrated form that the blood clan could not use. He firmly grasped the weak spot of the blood demon army and trapped the invincible demon army beneath the surface.
How could Taoist Mosquito not know what Wen Rui was planning?
It seemed like they were kind enough to trade water with him to help him expand his army and prepare for war, but in fact it was a strategy of cutting flesh and bleeding, constantly consuming the war potential of the Netherworld Blood Sea.
When the sea of blood is drained dry, not to mention the hundreds of millions of demon mosquitoes and the five powerful demon generals, even the Mosquito Taoist himself will be in trouble.
In addition, this is a vicious scheme to kill two birds with one stone, using the Blood Sea Demon Clan to attack the territory of the Western Church and destroy the Western Church's orthodoxy.
How could a human being come up with such a vicious conspiracy that even the evil demon was won over and the compassionate Buddha was harmed? The more Taoist Mosquito thought about it, the more indignant he became. Such an evildoer could be granted the title of Heavenly Venerable. God must be blind!
But now, there are only two choices before Taoist Mosquito.
The first is to stop the loss in time and lead the army of demon mosquitoes back to the sea of blood, and never march into the mortal world lightly again.
The second is to stick to one path until the end, grit his teeth and endure Wen Rui's exploitation, betting everything on the fate of the country.
Both of these paths are difficult to follow.
Retreating to the Blood Sea could preserve their strength, but this massive attack on the mortal world had also exposed a long-hidden force. After recovering from their breath, the Heavenly Court and the Western Religion would definitely list the Netherworld Blood Sea as the number one target of the Three Realms, and would do their utmost to send troops to clear it out.
Although the witch is strong, the key to her repeated victories is not how powerful she is, but to attack the enemy unexpectedly.
Once the powerful people of Buddhism and Taoism find out their true strength, their period of strength will be gone forever.
Without the witch's help, even if Mosquito Taoist is an iron man, how many nails can he hammer? How many Buddhas and Celestial Beings can he stop from attacking him?
In addition, Wen Rui, who knew a lot about him, took the opportunity to add insult to injury and overshadow Tianzun's achievements, so the final outcome was only a miserable defeat.
If we stick to this path until the end, wouldn't that be playing into Wen Rui's hands and falling into his trap?
Taoist Mosquito was faced with a difficult decision. He had not been so confused in tens of thousands of years.
