Chapter 291: Evil Shadow, Mother Ghost
Lu Heng's words are full of meaning.
The little boy asked with some confusion, "Daddy, did you say what big event will happen next?"
"Yes," Lu Heng didn't conceal it and said, "As I mentioned to you before, the Lord of All Demons of the Green Hell Cave is waiting for the emergence of a strange treasure within Fire Pass Country."
"And now, it seems that this strange treasure should be emerging soon, so the Lord of All Demons has employed such a delaying tactic, saying that he will send your sister later. In fact, he wants to wait until the strange treasure appears and prevent me from seeking trouble before its emergence."
Lu Heng laughed and said, "It has made a good plan, but it didn't count on me already knowing about it… Well, it seems that the emergence of this strange treasure is the time for the Heavenly Demon Lord to reappear in the world."
The words of Lu Heng left the little boy stunned.
"Daddy, are you really planning to disguise yourself as a demon and infiltrate the Green Hell Cave?"
This plan left the little boy uncertain about what he should say.
One can only say that it is beyond conventional wisdom.
Lu Heng smiled slightly and said, "If it allows the Green Hell Cave to place spies within the righteous path, then why can't we also interfere in the Green Hell Cave? This is a matter of give and take."
Lu Heng's words left the little boy feeling conflicted, not knowing where to begin with his criticism.
Is this what you call meddling?
This is like smashing an entire mountain down!
Xiao Ai spoke up, "The Wolf God, are we really not going to stop this fox demon Su Xiaoxiao?"
Xiao Ai was still upset about the little fox girl who also had pointed animal ears.
She said, "Nowadays she has no evil energy and has not cultivated the demonic path. Although she may still feel some attachment to Madame Green Bamboo, she is also fully aware of Madame Green Bamboo's sins."
"At this moment, she only needs someone to give her a push. If we forcefully take her away from the evil demons in the Green Hell Cave, I believe she can definitely return to the right path."
Xiao Ai's account surprised Lu Heng somewhat.
"Oh? Does Xiao Ai care so much about Su Xiaoxiao?"
Lu Heng thought for a moment and smiled. "What you said is indeed a solution, but doing so may not be appropriate."
"Xiaoxiao is a mature demon cultivator and can naturally distinguish priorities. Although she has been separated from us for five years, she has always been able to stick to her heart and not follow the demonic path, which is already commendable."
"I believe that if she is given some more time, she will definitely be able to make the appropriate choice."
Lu Heng's words made Xiao Ai hesitate for a moment, but she still spoke up.
"But Su Xiaoxiao is in danger now. If news of today's incident spreads and the outside world becomes aware of her relationship with the Wolf God, there may be demonic forces with other intentions…"
Xiao Ai's words made Lu Heng laugh heartily and he said,
"Don't worry, if something like this really happens, there's no need for us to take action. There will be people to help Xiaoxiao… Do you really think that Witch Wu Gu has disappeared?"
"How could she possibly disappear without a trace and completely ignore it, when she was so fond of this fox demon?"
"In the Fire Pass Country where demons rampage and tensions are high, it's already quite abnormal for this little girl to be able to cultivate in the mountains for five years without any incidents."
Lu Heng's words made Xiao Ai widen her eyes in surprise.
"Does it mean that the Wolf God was saying that Witch Wu Gu… is by Xiaoxiao's side?"
Lu Heng smiled and shook his head, "It's just a possibility… Anyway, There is no need to worry for Xiaoxiao. She has been cultivating alone in the mountains for so long without any incidents, so there might not be any problems now either."
"Let's focus on our own problems first and foremost…"
Smiling, Lu Heng led Xiao Ai and Shen Wuyou to bid farewell to Gu Zhou the River God, and then they left the Water Palace of Pang River, heading directly towards Luwu Mountain.
This time, Lu Heng no longer traveled slowly and leisurely as he did before, but instead directly rode the wind towards the east.
He needs to reach Luwu Mountain as soon as possible, handle the current affairs, and then go to the Floating Jade Mountain to see Xiao Juechen.
The Four Elders of the Green Hell Cave made an appointment with Xiao Juechen and Lu Heng to meet at the Floating Jade Mountain. Now that they had postponed for so long, if Lu Heng didn't go soon, Xiao Juechen would probably have run out of patience.
Even if it is a demon, we cannot keep standing it up (disappointing it) all the time.
Above the Pang River, the light flashed by.
Lu Heng left with Xiao Ai and Shen Wuyou.
And far away from the Pang River, in a wilderness more than 3,000 miles away, on a vast swamp, there is now a faint blood-red gas floating.
From the center of this swamp, within a radius of 100 miles, no trace of any living creature can be seen, all have fled in a panic.
Several days ago, the blood-red sword light that slashed through the sky spread unparalleled fear in the wilderness. Wherever the sword aura went, all creatures were panicked.
And this vast swamp is affected the most.
Because the sword aura that swept across more than 3,000 miles finally landed here…
Now the faint blood-red gas floating over the swamp, although not as terrifying as it was on the first day, still contains the catastrophic force that makes living beings tremble with fear.
The God Slaying Heavenly Thunder…
This legendary and terrifying thunderous punishment that represents absolute destruction, even if only a trace of dissipating breath remains, is still chilling.
Therefore, all the creatures in the swamp fled.
Now in the barren swamp, only the fetid water flows silently.
But at a certain moment, two figures appeared in the edge of the swamp, one after the other.
They stood beside the floating blood-red aura, quietly looking at the swamp in front of them. One of the demon shadows spoke.
"Mother Ghost, what do you think of this sword strike?"
Mother Ghost, the demon who is known for her eerie features, is a woman with dark purple long hair and a stout figure, reminiscent of the sturdy and robust rural women who work hard in the fields.
Now, facing the inquiry of the demon shadows, the woman sneered and said.
"The might of this sword strike is unparalleled in the world… the sword technique of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain truly deserves to be called peerless. No wonder he dared to boast about being the most renowned sword in the world."
"Only the might of this one sword is the most terrifying thing I have ever seen in my life. If I had not witnessed it with my own eyes, who would believe that someone in this world could attain such a level of swordsmanship?"
After Mother Ghost finished speaking, she turned towards the demon shadow next to her and said, "Demon Shadow, it's not a good plan to provoke such an outrageous old monster… Are you sure you want to take such a drastic approach?"
To this, the demon shadow lightly smiled and said, "Given the current circumstances, is there any other choice? If I had seen this sword before the plan began, maybe I would have reconsidered and backed out."
"But now we have come this far, there is no turning back… Does Mother Ghost really think that if we give up now, the Wolf God will not come looking for us?"
"Perhaps our names were already on His Demon Destroyer List."
The words of the demon shadow made Mother Ghost chuckle and she said, "At the very least, we can find a place to hide and wait out the storm, hide until the end of time and reappear when the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain has retired. That is still better than letting ourselves be killed directly… isn't it?"
