Chapter 316: Common Knowledge of Evil Ways
Crossing through the wilderness, Lu Heng and his companions arrived at a plain covered with flowers and grass.
Here, flowers and grass are fragrant, and butterflies dance elegantly. Not far away is a crystal-clear small lake, and in the distance, you can see the snowy mountains and a huge gateway that seems to lead directly to the sky.
If an uninformed person were to come here, they would be afraid they had arrived at a fairyland on earth.
After all, there is not even a trace of evil or demonic energy here, which is unimaginable compared to the dense demonic energy inside the Green Hell Cave.
- Obviously, the demon clan has set up a formation here to isolate the demonic energy.
From a distance, Lu Heng and his companions saw a wooden house by the lake.
The wooden house has an exquisite design and is built by the lake. There is a small terrace on the lake surface at the back, and the front is covered with blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies. It is truly a beautiful and enjoyable sight.
Upon seeing the wooden house, Xiao Juechen took a deep breath and formed a seal with one hand, instantly dispelling the demonic energy and erasing any demonic features.
Even Lu Heng, who is extremely sensitive to demonic energy, can no longer sense any demonic energy in Xiao Juechen's body.
This initially weak-looking demon has truly become just an ordinary person now.
Seeing Lu Heng's great amazement, Xiao Juechen smiled proudly and said, "This is the technique of concealing energy that the Demon Lord inherited from ancient times. It is exquisite and can conceal demonic energy that is hard for outsiders to detect."
"It is precisely because of the extraordinary technique of hiding our presence with our unparalleled skills that we were able to silently establish a great foundation in this demonic land of the Southeast."
As he spoke, Xiao Juechen looked at Lu Heng and the two demonic cultivators behind him, who were covered in evil death qi almost to the extent of having 'I am a bad person' written on their foreheads, and said somewhat apologetically.
"Since the Evil Lord has no intention to let the Wolf God's daughter know about the true situation of this place…"
Xiao Juechen didn't continue with the rest of the words.
But Lu Heng understood its meaning and smiled, saying, "Brother Xiao, rest assured, I know how to handle this.
After speaking, Lu Heng waved his sleeves, and directly dispersed the evil death qi that was taken from the Requiem Seal on the three of them.
However, while dispelling the evil death qi, Lu Heng directly activated the wish power in his body that had not been used for a long time, and attached it to the three of them.
In an instant, Lu Heng and the other two, who were originally covered in evil death qi, not only got rid of the death qi, but also became sacred and majestic, just like the gods in legends, high above all.
Xiao Juechen was stunned to see such a huge transformation.
"This…what kind of sorcery is this?!"
Xiao Juechen's eyeballs almost popped out.
If Lu Heng had only dispelled the evil death qi and disguised himself as an ordinary righteous cultivator, even if he had concealed it perfectly, Xiao Juechen would not have been shocked.
Although the techniques of demonic cultivation, such as concealment and illusion, were powerful, they could only disguise ordinary cultivators. The divine cultivators, who follow the path of incense worship and are opposed to demonic cultivation, were impossible to be disguised.
Because wish power is a special divine power that the demonic cultivators cannot simulate or imitate.
But the Heavenly Demon Lord in front of him completely shattered Xiao Juechen's cognition!
Standing beside the Heavenly Demon Lord, it not only witnessed the scene where the evil lord trio dispelled the evil death qi and revealed their wish power, but it could also feel the aura around it clearly, which was undoubtedly pure wish power!
Even the instinct of wish power, which is hated and loathed by demonic cultivators, now arises uncontrollably in Xiao Juechen's mind.
- The disguise of the Heavenly Demon Lord cannot be described as merely deceiving with a fake appearance.
It's just like the real thing!
Xiao Juechen's heart was incredibly shaken.
The common knowledge of demonic path, passed down by the elders, shattered at this moment.
The common knowledge that demonic cultivators could not possibly disguise themselves as wishfulfilling gods, was it not actually absolute?
The true top-tier demonic cultivators, at the very least this person in front of them, the Heavenly Demon Lord, could so realistically disguise themselves as a wishfulfilling god…
Truly worthy of being a demonic giant from the ancient times, daring to look down upon the top demonic figure Lian Cangqing… This demonic technique is truly beyond what normal demonic cultivators can imagine.
Xiao Juechen was completely convinced.
And he couldn't help but marvel at how terrifying the Heavenly Demon Lord's various ancient demonic techniques were. No wonder he dared to provoke the formidable Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain and had the confidence to use demonic techniques to harm the Wolf God without fear of completely offending him.
With such a multitude of ancient demonic techniques at his disposal, the Evil Lord certainly had the capital to be arrogant.
Before, they thought that the Evil Lord was on the same level as the Cave Lord in terms of skill, but now it seems that the Evil Lord is much more skilled than the Cave Lord by a substantial margin…
Xiao Juechen couldn't help but feel extremely amazed and joyous for his own good fortune.
It was by pure chance that he had encountered such a top-notch sorcerer, who had helped to resolve a great disaster for the Green Hell Cave.
If not for encountering and receiving the assistance of the Evil Lord, then speaking strictly, that woman in the red dress, Lian Cangqing, would have been an insurmountable obstacle.
It seems that this time, it was Heaven's will that the Green Hell Cave would receive the Dragon Soul, as everything went so smoothly for them.
Amidst such joyous celebration, Xiao Juechen led Lu Heng and the others to the wooden cabin by the lake.
In the nearby grassland, there were several human cultivators who were not under the influence of evil demons. They were responsible for guarding the little girl in the wooden cabin and obeying orders.
Lu Heng also didn't sense any demonic energy from these cultivators. He didn't know whether they were using a technique to conceal their energy or if they simply were not demons to begin with.
Lianshan Jing had previously told Lu Heng that among the living, there were many righteous cultivators who, for various reasons, became minions of the Green Hell Cave and remained hidden in the Fire Pass Country to gather information for the demons.
Lu Heng was not surprised that these cultivators guarding the wooden cabin were probably true human cultivators, even if they were not demons.
After all, traitors were difficult to completely eradicate unless it was a wizard who cultivated the path of incense and divine way.
Not paying attention to these cultivators who were not under the influence of evil demons, Lu Heng followed Xiao Juechen towards the wooden cabin. Along the way, none of the cultivators they encountered dared to step forward and stop them.
Without any obstacle, Lu Heng and his companions arrived at the wooden cabin and found the little girl who was meditating on a small observation deck by the lake.
The little girl opened her eyes and looked surprised upon sensing someone approaching.
"Uncle Xiao, who are these people?"
The little girl's curious gaze shifted between Lu Heng and his two companions.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "My name is Huo Feng, the god of the Weak Water River. I was once indebted to the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain, and I have come to repay my debt."
After Lu Heng finished speaking, the little girl suddenly stood up with excitement.
"You… You know my dad?"
Lu Heng smiled slightly and said, "Several years ago, when the Wolf God was traveling outside the Hanyu Mountain, he gave me some guidance when he passed by the Weak Water River. Therefore, when I learned that the daughter of the Wolf God was stranded here, I came specifically to protect the little goddess and send you back to Hanyu Mountain to reunite with your father."
Lu Heng casually spun a messy lie.
Although no one present had heard of Weak Water before, Lu Heng's powerful divine aura made his words convincing.
After he spoke, Xiao Juechen couldn't help but admire him and secretly held up his thumb in praise.
Truly a giant figure in the demonic path, this lie was so well woven that there was simply no loophole.
