In Elegant Leisure Restaurant's private room.
"Please." Li Mobai carefully concocted a cup of tea before placing it in front of Zhou Wen and making an inviting gesture.
Zhou Wen didn't take action as he looked at Li Mobai and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."
Li Mobai didn't mind. As he continued brewing tea, he said, "Zhou Wen, do you know what the most terrifying power in this world is?"
"I don't know," Zhou Wen answered.
Li Mobai continued, "The most terrifying power in this world is what you can see but can't obtain. For example, if an enemy who killed your father and stole your wife is right in front of you, you can see him every day. You can watch him laugh, watch him act arrogantly, and watch him enjoy all the riches and glory in the world, but you can't hurt a single strand of his hair. This is more unbearable than any physical pain."
"Second Young Master, I'm an ordinary student. I don't know such profound principles. If you want to talk about philosophy, I'm afraid you've found the wrong person," Zhou Wen said.
Li Mobai brewed himself a cup of tea and took a sip, but he poured the rest of the tea away.
"Now, there are two things I can see but can't obtain. One of them is my enemy's life, and the other is a cocoon." Li Mobai put down his cup and continued, "Ever since John challenged you with the six-winged seraphim, I've been trying my best to study what kind of power it is. In the end, I found the answer — the cocoon of a Guardian."
Zhou Wen waited for Li Mobai to continue. Li Mobai definitely didn't invite him just to say this.
"Perhaps the heavens pity a half-crippled person like me and let me find a cocoon of a Guardian. However, there's a terrifying Mythical creature guarding it. I've tried my best and paid a huge price, but I can't even approach it." Li Mobai looked at Zhou Wen and said, "But you are different. You have the ability to help me approach it."
"Why should I help you?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Because you can bet a one-third chance," Li Mobai said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Wen didn't understand what Li Mobai meant.
"As far as I know, Guardians like the six-winged seraphim won't casually reach an agreement with humans. Instead, it depends on whether that person can obtain their approval. I know where the Guardian cocoon is, and you have the ability to get us close to the Guardian cocoon. We each have one chance. Let me try first. If I don't succeed, it'll be your chance. Of course, it's also possible that we won't be recognized, but at least you have a one-third chance, right? "Li Mobai said.
Zhou Wen pondered without a word. He was naturally interested in the Guardian cocoon. Not only was he interested, but he also wished he could immediately find it.
However, he didn't want to obtain the Guardian's recognition, but to kill the Guardian.
However, Zhou Wen knew very well that every Guardian had terrifying strength. They were top-notch existences in myths. He didn't know if his strength could kill a Guardian.
Li Mobai continued, "The Guardian cocoon I discovered is in the South District. It's where I obtained the Essence Energy Art back then. According to my speculation, I can obtain the Essence Energy Art there and condense the Evil King Gu Life Soul. Perhaps it's very likely that it's compatible with the Guardian cocoon, so my chances are very high. Unfortunately, my foundation has been destroyed. I've already cultivated another Essence Energy Art. This is also where I'm relatively passive. In short, my chances are very high. It's not like you don't have a chance. The decision is up to you if you want to take a gamble. "
"Aren't you afraid that I'll snatch your chance away?" Zhou Wen asked Li Mobai.
Li Mobai laughed. "Just as I said, I can't do anything while watching my enemy live a carefree life. Now, I'm living like an immortal. If it were you, would you be willing to take a gamble with such a hope?"
"I need time to consider," Zhou Wen said after some thought.
"It's fine. You can take your time to consider. I can wait." Li Mobai said to Butterfly, "Send Zhou Wen back."
"There's no need. I can go back myself." Zhou Wen got up and left Elegant Leisure Restaurant.
On the way back, Zhou Wen kept considering this problem.
The Guardian cocoon wasn't easy to find. If what Li Mobai said was true, it was worth taking a look. Li Mobai had a chance, but he might not succeed.
However, Li Mobai was someone who could do anything for revenge. Zhou Wen didn't dare trust him too much.
When he returned to school, he found An Sheng waiting for him outside.
"Young Master Wen, the matter of entering the maze to choose the treasure chest has been prepared. When do you plan on going?" An Sheng directly explained his purpose.
"Now." Zhou Wen also wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible.
The world was changing faster and faster. Who knew if he would have a chance to go in the future? It was best to go early before the dimensional zone's seal completely collapsed.
"That's what I thought too. Get in." An Sheng opened the door and let Zhou Wen get in before getting into the driver's seat.
"Young Master Wen, why is Li Mobai looking for you?" An Sheng clearly knew that Li Mobai was looking for Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen didn't hide anything as he recounted the matter.
"Ah Sheng, there's actually something I don't understand. Why did Chancellor Leng kill Buddha Annihilation and not choose to try contracting it?" Zhou Wen asked.
"I'm not too sure either. I'm afraid only Chancellor Leng can answer you." An Sheng shook his head.
After a pause, An Sheng continued, "What Li Mobai said might be true, but I'm afraid it's a little too late to go now."
"Why do you say that?" Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.
"According to reliable information, Zhang Chunqiu, Xia Liuchuan, and Dugu Ge went to the South District together. Furthermore, their target is a Guardian egg. The place they went is very close to the area Li Mobai mentioned, "An Sheng said.
"Li Mobai didn't say where the Guardian egg is. How do you know where it is?" Zhou Wen asked.
"The An family has naturally been secretly paying attention to someone like Li Mobai. He used to stay in the South District for a period of time. We have also checked the areas he has been to and can determine a general area," An Sheng explained.
"I see. What a pity." Zhou Wen was originally somewhat tempted, but after hearing An Sheng's words, he probably didn't have much hope.
The roads were getting harder and harder to walk on. The car stopped at a service station. An Sheng parked the car inside before the two of them continued forward on their Companion Beasts.
Zhou Wen rode the Great Might Vajra Bull and traversed the forest as though it was flat ground. His speed wasn't any slower than driving.
"Young Master Wen, you have to memorize the map of the maze. Although I'll lead the way for you, you have to be able to come out yourself if you get lost inside," An Sheng exhorted Zhou Wen again.
