Chapter 246: Clear Traps Are Easy to Evade
In Hanyu Mountain, after finishing a pot of clear tea, Xiao Ai removed the tea and replaced it with clear water and pastries.
However, this time neither Lu Heng nor Jiu Mie touched the pastries.
The two of them sat in the pavilion, leisurely gazing at the sunset on the distant horizon, suddenly falling into silence for a while.
Jiu Mie shook his head and said, "Unknowingly, six hours have passed. I have also troubled you for a day and a night... It's time for me to leave."
Lu Heng smiled faintly and said, "Won't you stay for a few more days? The peach trees in Hanyu Mountain will be ripe soon. If you stay a few more days, you might be able to catch the newly ripe peaches with our friends."
"Ha...never mind about the peaches," Jiu Mie waved his hand in refusal. "The peach trees in this mountain have unique properties that are difficult to consume if one is not blessed enough. I have already tasted the Peach Blossom Wine and the Thousand Needle Snow today, and enjoyed too much good fortune. I don't know how many days of cultivation will be needed to balance good karma and calamities."
"If I were to eat any more peaches, I'm afraid I would lose half of my life...Some things are just not meant to be enjoyed by those without sufficient blessings."
Jiu Mie waved his hand repeatedly, jokingly saying.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's move on to the last topic of the day... Although the demons and evils in the Green Hell Cave have a great reputation and impact, the evil creatures on the surface are no longer a problem."
"As the saying goes, 'If you know thyself, and know thy enemy, you need not fear the outcome of a hundred battles'...Compared to the Green Hell Cave on the surface, it's the mysterious and secretive shadow that operates in the darkness that people should be more concerned about."
"However, the battle between witches and demons is intense in Fire Pass Country. Even if we inform Emperor Yan about the mysterious shadow, I'm afraid the wizards will not be able to handle it."
"And that shadow was coming after me, Lu Heng...Ha...so-called fortune is not a blessing, and what is destined to happen cannot be avoided. That shadow has great abilities and can find even elusive friends. Coming to Hanyu mountain to find me, Lu Heng, will be a piece of cake."
"Judging from the situation where my friend fought against it, what are the chances that I would have to win if that shadow came looking for me?"
Lu Heng asked with a smile.
Jiu Mie also pondered for a moment, looked at the nearby Xiao Ai, and said, "If the Heavenly Thunder Sword is with you, that shadow is nothing to fear. But I'm afraid the shadow won't give you the chance to draw the sword..."
"Oh? What do you mean by that, my friend?" Lu Heng asked curiously.
Jiu Mie let out a sigh and said solemnly, "In a direct confrontation, no one in the world can control the power of your sword. But that shadow is treacherous and wicked in its actions, and it will certainly not engage my friend in a direct conflict."
"The characteristic of your heavenly thunder power is the bane of such demonic entities. If there is no guarantee of victory, those demons will never dare to appear in front of you."
"And if it appears, it means..."
Jiu Mie didn't continue speaking after saying this.
Lu Heng smiled and continued the sentence, "If it appears, it means the plan is in place and it's time for me, Lu Heng, to meet my end."
After speaking, Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh and said,
"The existence of evil demons truly causes a headache."
"Compared to these monsters who plot in advance, even characters like Elder Tao and King Zhenbei seem adorable."
"But my dear friend, you need not worry. Lu Heng is now firmly seated in the Hanyu mountain and will not easily venture into the world. If the devil's shadow has any plot or scheme, it can be dealt with easily."
"I am very curious about how it will lure me out of the Hanyu Mountain, which is shrouded in the black cloud of calamity."
As he spoke, Lu Heng smiled and said, "As we approach the ten-year deadline, if the devil's shadow is not yet eliminated, then I will invite my friend Candle Dragon to come to the Hanyu Mountain and together we will find another place for our discussion."
"Although I am a wolf demon, I have some experience with the turtle's shrinking technique... Hahaha..."
Lu Heng's laughter was carefree and joyful.
After a quarter of an hour, Lu Heng and Xiao Ai bid farewell to the old monk in his coarse cloth monk robe.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Lu Heng watched the old monk's silhouette disappear into the distance and sighed.
"The world of cultivation is full of changes, with endless evil demons and monsters appearing… Haha… The problem of the Green Hell Cave has not been solved yet, and now there is another mysterious devil's shadow appearing."
"This Fire Pass Country won't be calm for a short time."
Lu Heng shook his head and sighed, while Xiao Ai said firmly.
"With the Wolf God in charge, the demons and villains won't be able to cause any trouble."
Xiao Ai is full of confidence in Lu Heng.
However, Lu Heng didn't have such strong confidence.
He laughed and said, "Since Xiao Ai believes in me so much, I can't let you down... Well, I'll continue to cultivate in seclusion and strive to reach the state of transcendence as soon as possible."
"Xiao Ai, you guys should also work hard... Haha..."
In the sunset glow, Lu Heng turned into a white light and flew directly into the calamitous clouds slowly rotating inside the Hanyu Mountain.
Continue to cultivate in seclusion.
Nowadays, although his divine sense can stay away from his body for a long time, he cannot be too far away from his demonic body.
He wants to cultivate as quickly as possible to the point where his divine sense can walk on its own.
If the demonic body and the divine sense are separated, even if he is really schemed against by that mysterious demonic shadow, he can rely on the demonic body to be reborn.
It's like having two lives.
This way, Lu Heng will have the confidence to walk around outside.
While Lu Heng was sitting cross-legged in the black clouds, just closing his eyes and starting cultivating, he suddenly opened his eyes again before he had been meditating for long.
At this time, in Hanyu Mountain, it was already late at night and darkness had fallen.
It has been three hours since old monk Jiu Mie left.
But in the usually desolate Hanyu Mountain, there was unexpectedly a new guest... these past two days, there have really been a lot of guests.
With a helpless sigh, Lu Heng left the black clouds vortex.
In front of the Wolf God Temple, shrouded in a hazy veil of darkness, Lu Heng's figure appeared once again with a flash of white light.
"Xiao Ai."
Lu Heng called out and said, "We have important guests arriving, prepare the Thousand Needles Snow."
Xiao Ai, who was meditating, quickly opened her eyes in response to the Wolf God's call, and following his instructions, went to prepare tea.
Lu Heng sat under the bamboo pavilion and let out a soft sigh.
After fifteen minutes, a figure appeared in front of the Wolf God Temple.
Her long, fiery hair was casually tied up behind her head. Her chaotic clothing gave off an air of laziness and recklessness, without any discernible shape.
If he didn't already know, Lu Heng would never have believed that the person in front of him was the lord of Fire Pass Country.
But now, he could only smile and sigh as he said.
"Lord Lianshan, it's been a long time."
Lianshan Jing was somewhat surprised in front of the Wolf God Temple.
"Oh? It seems like the Wolf God isn't very welcoming to me?"
Lu Heng smiled slightly and led the red-haired woman to sit under the pavilion, saying, "Why would Lu Heng not welcome the lord? It's just that the lord is always busy. How could there be time to come and sit leisurely in Hanyu Mountain today... Is it that there has been progress with the demons in the Green Hell Cave?"
Lianshan Jing smiled and said, "So the Wolf God is afraid of trouble... Hahaha... Well, I'm sorry for that. I came here this time to bring trouble for the Wolf God."
"I wonder if the Wolf God still remembers the Erba God Man in the South Sea?"
Lianshan Jing's inquiry made Lu Heng somewhat surprised.
"Hmm? The Erba God Man? Has the lord also seen these sixteen little monsters?"
