Chapter 230: Eliminating Evil and Fulfilling Duty
Lu Heng's suggestion greatly delighted Wu Gu.
However, after considering it carefully, she felt that it was not appropriate.
"Um…Wolf God, do you think by doing this, can Xiaoxiao really break away from the demonic path?"
Wu Gu said, "Although I know very little about human affairs, I understand that this is a grievance of killing one's parents. Will Xiaoxiao hate me to death when the truth is revealed?"
Wu Gu's concerns made Lu Heng let out a sigh.
However, there was no sign of wavering in Lu Heng's eyes.
His tone was very calm.
"To eliminate evil, we must do our best… even if you don't take action, I, along with Fire Pass Country, will certainly make every effort to exterminate the monsters and villains in Green Hell Cave."
"That's right, Xiaoxiao indeed didn't cultivate demonic techniques and is indeed cute and obedient. But these things cannot change the fact that her godmother is a demonic cultivator."
"It's impossible that just because we like her, her godmother, who has harmed numerous people, can escape punishment…If we indulge in private feelings and protect demonic cultivators, how are we any different from them?"
"I sent you to guide her into our sect, but it was just giving her another chance to make a choice."
"Because when she chooses to stand with her godmother, even if she hasn't cultivated demonic techniques, she has already taken the side opposite to the righteous cultivators, opposite to you and me."
"I, Lu Heng, will definitely destroy Madame Green Bamboo and the Green Hell Cave. Fire Pass Country will not allow such a group of monsters to hide in the dark and rampage across our land."
"Su Xiaoxiao, who stands with the demonic forces of the Green Hell Cave, even if she truly has not committed any wrongdoing or cultivated demonic techniques…but who said that only those who cultivate demonic techniques are demonic?"
"When the Green Hell Cave is destroyed, if she can wake up and leave these demonic forces, there will still be a chance for her."
"Otherwise, besides you, even someone like me, Lu Heng, may not be willing to give her another chance to make a choice."
Lu Heng's tone was very cold.
When talking about eradicating evil and demons, the Wolf God, who cultivated the Heavenly Thunder cultivation method, was no longer gentle and elegant as usual, but appeared cold-blooded and ruthless.
But Wu Gu was not surprised about this.
The foundation of a cultivator's path can often influence their temperament.
The Wolf God cultivates the Heavenly Thunder and bears the power of heavenly punishment. Even if he is amiable on a regular day, it is in line with his cultivation path to appear ruthless and heartless when encountering evil demons.
After a moment of silence, Wu Gu let out a slow sigh and said, "I understand…if we want to save this girl, we must not let her step onto the wrong path. Otherwise, the Wolf God will definitely not spare her, will he?"
To this, Lu Heng smiled slightly and didn't respond.
But Wu Gu's expression became serious. She bowed to Lu Heng and said, "Thank you for reminding us. After I treat this girl's injuries, I will go to the Fire Pass Country to look for Xiaoxiao."
Lu Heng looked at the fragmented body of Yu Ren Ya in the jar and said, "No need to worry. The Green Hell Cave is hidden very deep. Even if the Fire Pass Country search everywhere, they might not be able to find it."
"As for me… hmm, I may need to go into seclusion for a period of time after returning to the mountain," said Lu Heng.
Lu Heng said, "I probably won't be able to leave the mountain for several years."
During his trip down the mountain, Lu Heng obtained two top-notch martial arts cheats and a mysterious palm-sized Eight Trigrams Diagram from the star sea in the Extreme Hell Prison.
After returning to the mountain, Lu Heng will devote himself to studying these three things with all his might.
Not only must he open the door of heaven, but he must also deduce martial arts suitable for himself and all types of cultivators.
It's impossible to travel far in a short period of time.
After bidding farewell to Wu Gu and the Feather Man Tribe girl, Yu Ren Ya, who was in the jar, Lu Heng left with the fat bird and Gu Yan.
Before leaving, the little girl in the jar exclaimed loudly.
"Senior Wolf God, can Xiao Ya come to Hanyu Mountain to play with you in the future?"
Lu Heng's departing footsteps paused slightly, and he turned back with a smile, saying, "Hanyu Mountain welcomes friends from all over the world. Xiao Ya, you can come anytime you want."
"Okay, when Xiao Ya's injury heals, I will come to Hanyu Mountain to play with the senior!"
Inside the jar, the little girl's head shouted loudly.
Subsequently, Witch Wu and the master of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, Yu Linglong, saw Lu Heng off all the way from the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.
Inside Fan Jie Mountain, it's still lively.
As the Treasure Conference is not yet entirely over, many cultivators who participated in it have not returned. Their attendants, servants, and disciples are also all now gathered in Fan Jie Mountain, waiting for news.
It can be foreseen that when the cultivators and merchants who participated in the Treasure Conference come back, Lu Heng's name will shock the world and be widely spread for a long time above the South Sea.
However, Lu Heng at that time would have already returned to the mountain to cultivate in seclusion.
"Moreover, I don't know how long this closed-door cultivation will last."
In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the world, even though Lu Heng's name resounds throughout the heavens today, but when he emerges from seclusion again, how many people will remember this Wolf God who flashed across the sky like a brilliant shooting star above the South Sea?
Thinking of this, Lu Heng laughed heartily. He bid farewell again to Yu Linglong, who had escorted him to the secluded corner, and then took a step forward and entered the water directly.
In the deep sea, a Speedfish that had been waiting for a long time opened its mouth and swallowed Lu Heng in one gulp.
Then it went straight north.
This Speedfish was not the one belonging to Yu Linglong, but one Yu Huaifeng, the Chief Minister, had found and specifically sent to escort the Wolf God back to the northern continent.
Inside the fish's belly, there were pavilions, towers, artificial mountains, and small lakes, which were much more luxurious than those of Yu Linglong's Speedfish.
Xiao Ai with silver-haired beast ears carried the Heavenly Thunder Sword and stood silently by the suspended light sphere, concentrating on her cultivation. Even the occasional screams of misery coming from the light sphere didn't affect her cultivation.
Only when Gu Yan and the fat bird came back did Xiao Ai open her eyes slightly and acknowledge their return.
In the following days, Lu Heng and the others lived inside the belly of this Speedfish. Gu Yan and the fat bird wanted to go peck at the completely transparent meat of the Speedfish and see if it was still translucent after being separated from the fish.
However, Xiao Ai stopped them right at the beginning.
Xiao Ai tied up the two birds and roasted them on a grill to let them experience what it feels like to be food.
Gu Yan roared in agony as all his feathers were burned off.
The fat bird, on the other hand, continued to endure with a nonchalant expression, indifferent to life and death. Even when roasted on the fire, it didn't make a sound and remained calm, forming a sharp contrast with Gu Yan, who was constantly howling and making noise.
In this way, amidst all the chaos, the Speedfish swiftly traversed the South Sea and arrived at the southernmost city of the Fire Pass Country, Nanhai City, after several days.
Lu Heng and Xiao Ai embarked on the land of the Fire Pass Country once again and continued to travel north towards Hanyu Mountain.
This time, they will fly directly back to Hanyu Mountain instead of walking, in order to return to the mountain before New Year's Eve.
At the moment when Lu Heng set foot on the land, a white-haired monkey in Hanyu Mountain in the far north woke up from its slumber and opened its eyes.
In the snowy and mountainous Hanyu Mountain, it was quiet and desolate.
In the solitary world, it seemed like there was only this one white monkey left.
Standing in front of the Wolf God Temple, with the bleak cold wind blowing, the monkey began to contemplate a very important matter.
- Should I go down the mountain to play today? Or should I cultivate diligently?
This kind of contemplation lasted for a full three breaths.
The white monkey then cheered and ran towards the foot of the mountain…
