On the surface of the sea, huge battleships whistled past. There were nearly ten thousand ships, ten of them were large ships while the rest were small ships.
Qi Mo was standing inside the Overlord. The Overlord was still his flagship, but he would soon return to the Overlord. After all, he was the Patriarch of a Patriarch, so he had a lot of things to do.
Yufei was standing by Qi Mo's side. She was also looking outside as she said, "Brother Mo, this time, we've dispatched everyone. What if they aren't in Demon Island?" When there are people, Yufei would call Qi Mo Patriarch. When there's no one, she would call Qi Mo Brother Mo. This was something she learned from Laura and the others.
Qi Mo replied, "If they aren't in Demon Island, then we should be able to find some clues here. Even if we can't find anything, we still need to flatten the island."
Yufei didn't say anything, she just stood by Qi Mo's side and said, "I feel that Mister Zhao Hai knows something, but he's not sure. What do you think is going on?"
Qi Mo replied, "No matter what Zhao Hai knows, he's not sure. Otherwise, he would've told me. Moreover, he already told us the method to make the Mech Armors as well as the method to remove the loopholes. This is enough to prove his intentions."
Yufei replied, "I don't doubt Mister Zhao Hai's sincerity. But Brother Qi, why didn't Mister Zhao Hai come with us this time? He's a Ghost Cultivator, so he should have some understanding of poisons. "
Qi Mo sighed and said, "He's trying to avoid arousing suspicion. You can say that he single-handedly overthrew the 18 Noble Clans. We're just supporting him from the sidelines. We know this, and so does he. Since he doesn't want the Deserted World, he naturally has to avoid arousing suspicion. He's afraid that his limelight will overshadow mine. If that happens, it won't be good."
Yufei turned her head to Qi Mo, her expression was heavy as she said, "Brother Mo, have you ever doubted Mister Zhao Hai? A while ago, I felt that you seemed to have been on guard against him? "
Qi Mo sighed and said, "We have no choice but to be on guard. Zhao Hai's strength is too strong. When he dealt with the 18 Great Clans, why didn't the legions take action? Even the legions guarding Desolate City didn't take action. Wasn't that strange? Later on, I investigated and found out that it wasn't that those people didn't want to make a move, but they couldn't. When Zhao Hai was fighting with the 18 families, their battleships couldn't be activated at all, and their mechas couldn't be used. Under such circumstances, what could they use to make a move? And all of this couldn't be a coincidence, right? It must be Zhao Hai who did it first, right? But when did they do it? How did he do it? If one day, he uses such a method to deal with us, what will happen to us? Have you ever thought about it? "
Yufei looked at Qi Mo and sighed. "It's precisely because of this that you can't guard against Mr. Zhao Hai. Is it useful to guard against him? If he really wants to deal with you, can you guard against him? Brother Mo, there are some people that you can't guard against because you can't guard against them. "
Qi Mo stared blankly, then his expression changed. He finally realized that he seemed to have made a mistake. He thought that he would be fine as long as he guarded against Zhao Hai. However, he didn't realize that he couldn't guard against Zhao Hai at all. His defensive methods were useless against Zhao Hai.
Thinking of this, Qi Mo couldn't help but turn to Yufei and ask, "How did you know that I was guarding against Zhao Hai?"
Yufei smiled bitterly and said, "The entire Desolate World saw it. Mister Zhao Hai also saw it. Otherwise, why do you think he's been hiding in the Tianji Pavilion and not coming out? Recently, he even directly returned to the War God's Realm. Brother Mo, you've changed. You value the power in your hands too much. Don't forget that you were able to smoothly sit in this position because of Mister Zhao Hai and because the conflict between the 18 Great Clans and the ordinary clans has reached an irreconcilable point. If you value power too much, sooner or later, you'll walk the same path as the 18 Great Clans. "
Boom! Yufei's words were like a heavy hammer that hit Qi Mo's head. Qi Mo felt that his mind was in chaos. Even breathing became difficult. He stood there and didn't speak for a long time. His mind kept replaying Yufei's words and the things he did after becoming the Patriarch. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Before long, his head was covered in a layer of cold sweat.
A pair of gentle hands gently wiped away the cold sweat on his head. Qi Mo turned his head and saw that it was Yufei. He couldn't help but reach out and pull her into his embrace, softly saying, "Yufei, thank you. If it weren't for you, I would've made an even bigger mistake. It's good to have you by my side to remind me."
Yufei hugged Qi Mo and said in a deep voice, "Brother Mo, you're my man. I understand you. You're not a person who covets power. The reason you've become like this is because you've just gained power. You're my man, so of course I'll do everything for your own good."
Qi Mo didn't say anything and just hugged Yufei tightly. He was really moved. If it weren't for Yufei's reminder, he wouldn't have realized that he had changed. He wouldn't have realized that he had made such a big mistake when dealing with his relationship with Zhao Hai. This mistake would very likely lead to his death in the future.
After a while, Qi Mo calmed down. He let go of Yufei and smiled at her. His face actually showed a trace of relaxation. Yufei also revealed a gentle smile when she saw Qi Mo's expression.
Qi Mo heaved a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "It looks like after we return, I will have to find Mister Zhao Hai and have a good drink. Yufei, to be honest, I really admire Mister Zhao Hai now. He treats power like dirt. Most importantly, he knows when to fight and when to retreat. Take this time as an example. If he were to really fight with me, then the Desolate race would probably be finished."
But Mister Zhao is different. He doesn't seem to care about those things, but he does care about other things. For example, he cares about people. He cares about Laura and the others, as well as those who are his friends. He would help those people selflessly. A person like him wouldn't be confined to one place. He can be friends with us, but after he helps us solve our problems, he would leave. This is because what he pursues is the Great Dao, not the things in front of him. These things really don't have any attraction to him. "Zhao Hai nodded and said," Mister Zhao is different from us. Most Cultivators would think of all kinds of ways to pass down their inheritances, in order to ascend. But Mister Zhao is different. He doesn't seem to care about those things, but he does care about other things. For example, he cares about people like Laura and the others, as well as those who are his friends.
Qi Mo nodded, then he sighed and said, "These things really don't attract him. I didn't see this point before. Yufei, it's fortunate that you're here."
Yufei smiled and didn't say anything. At this time, Dong Shun arrived at Qi Mo's side, he cupped his fist and said, "Patriarch, we're about to arrive at Demon Island."
Qi Mo nodded, then he turned his head to Dong Shun and smiled faintly, "Alright, why are you being so polite with me? Later on, just call me Captain like before. If there are other people, then call me Patriarch." Dong Shun nodded, then he turned to Dong Shun and smiled faintly.
When Dong Shun heard Qi Mo, he couldn't help but stare. When he saw the smile on Qi Mo's face, Dong Shun's heart couldn't help but warm up. He felt that the Captain that he was familiar with had returned.
Dong Shun was a smart person, so he noticed that after Qi Mo became the Patriarch, his entire person had changed. This change might not be noticed by many people, but Dong Shun did. After so many days, although Qi Mo still had a smile on his face, it looked fake. Because of this, Dong Shun was very careful when he came in contact with Qi Mo.
Now that he saw the smile on Qi Mo's face, Dong Shun had a feeling that Qi Mo had returned. He knew that the Captain that he knew had returned.
Dong Shun's eyes couldn't help but turn red. He cupped his fist and said, "Yes, Captain. Demon Island is just ahead. What should we do next?"
A trace of sadness flashed through Qi Mo's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Get ready. Send a mecha squad to enter the island first. Remember, tell them to open the protective shield. The poisonous gas on Demon Island is no joke."
Dong Shun nodded and said, "Yes, I'll immediately arrange it." Then he cupped his fist towards Qi Mo before turning around and leaving.
After Dong Shun left, Qi Mo smiled bitterly, then he turned to Yufei and said, "Yufei, did you notice Dong Shun's expression? It seems like he also noticed that something was wrong with me, it's just that he didn't say anything. "
Yufei smiled faintly and said, "He can't say anything. This kind of thing can only be said by your wife. If even I can't persuade you, then it's useless for others to say anything. Dong Shun is a smart person. You can see that you've changed, but at the same time, he also adjusted his position well. Therefore, these days, he's been doing things according to the rules, he hasn't stepped out of line. He's a good subordinate and a good brother."
Qi Mo nodded, then he sighed and said, "I'm really lucky to have a virtuous person like you by my side, constantly reminding me. I also have so many good brothers, as well as Zhao Hai who selflessly helps me. I, Qi Mo, am really lucky."
Yufei smiled faintly and said, "Because you're worth it. If you weren't, then nobody would help you. Brother Mo, do you think that we can smoothly take Devil Island this time?"
When Qi Mo heard Yufei, he turned silent. After some time, he sighed and said, "It won't be that easy. If Devil Island is that easy to conquer, then it wouldn't be a forbidden area. Additionally, Zhao Hai didn't come with us this time. I'm afraid that there are some problems that we can't solve. If we want to take Devil Island in a short time, then I'm afraid that it would be difficult. What I'm curious about is, if those fellows from the 18 Great Clans are really on Devil Island, then how did they survive? Or are they not on Devil Island at all? Is this just a trap? "
Yufei frowned, then she turned to Qi Mo and said, "Then what should we do? Should we invite Mister Zhao Hai? If Mister Zhao Hai can come, then we can relax a little. His undead shouldn't be afraid of the island's poison, right? "
Qi Mo sighed and shook his head, "Forget it. Let's wait and see. It's not that I'm wary of Zhao Hai, but because of Mister Zhao Hai's status. After all, he isn't a member of the Desolate race. He will leave sooner or later. If our Desolate race wants to develop, then we have to rely on ourselves. If we were to ask Zhao Hai for help every time we encounter a problem, then what will we do when Zhao Hai leaves? When that happens, it will have a great impact on our fighting strength and morale. So if we can't ask him for help, then we shouldn't. If we can solve it ourselves, then we should solve it ourselves. "
Yufei nodded, she knew that what Qi Mo said was right. If he were to walk while holding onto something, then by the time he put it down, he might not be able to walk anymore. If you want to learn how to walk, run, and jump, then you have to walk by yourself. Don't be afraid of falling, because every time you fall, you will learn how to walk.
The fleet quickly arrived at the periphery of Devil Island. Although Qi Mo and the others had heard of Devil Island and how big it was, they were still shocked when they saw it with their own eyes. They never thought that Devil Island would be so big. The entire Devil Island's surface area wasn't much smaller than the Desolate Realm's continent!
The island was filled with green plants, and flocks of birds were constantly flying around the forest. It looked like a paradise. This made Qi Mo and the others stare blankly. They didn't think that the infamous Devil Island would be like this. However, when they looked inside, their complexions changed. This was because Devil Island was filled with a layer of fog. This fog was white and didn't look any different from the fog outside. However, this fog didn't disperse for a long time. It covered the entire island, making them unable to see the situation inside.
Qi Mo said, "I didn't think that Devil Island would be like this. Alas, it seems like finding the people of the 18 Great Clans is going to be difficult."
Yufei nodded and said, "Right, Devil Island is too big. Even if we put a million people on this island, I'm afraid it won't be easy to find them. Moreover, the 18 Great Clans have suffered great losses. They simply don't have that many people. If they find a place to hide, it won't be easy for us to find them."
At this time, Dong Shun arrived behind Qi Mo and said, "Captain, everything has been arranged. Do you want to send people to the island?"
Qi Mo pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go. But not just send mechas. I didn't think that Devil Island would be this big. Now it seems like we can't just send mechas. How about this, the Thunder God will lead the Seventh Fleet to Devil Island. Make sure to understand the island's situation."
Dong Shun nodded and then went to pass the order.
