Chapter 317: Goodbye for Now
"Huo Feng…Weak Water River God…"
Inside the wooden house, the little girl repeated Lu Heng's words in a murmuring voice, not doubting him.
After all, the uncle in front of them was covered in the genuine power of incense and gods, which could not be faked.
However, the little girl was still curious, where did this Weak Water River God come from?
She looked towards Xiao Juechen beside her and curiously asked, "Uncle Xiao, did you bring the River God's master here?"
Xiao Juechen sighed and said, "The situation is chaotic now. Not long ago, the Wolf God came down from the mountain to travel the world, perhaps to stop the chaos of evil demons in the Fire Pass Country. He is no longer at Hanyu Mountain."
"Our messenger sent to Hanyu Mountain didn't see the Wolf God, so we asked some trustworthy righteous cultivators to spread the news of the Wolf God's daughter, hoping to let the Wolf God know your whereabouts and come find you."
"It's a pity that the Wolf God's whereabouts are uncertain and difficult for ordinary people to know. We didn't wait for the arrival of the Wolf God but instead received the arrival of the river god Huo Feng."
"He once received guidance from the Wolf God and met the Wolf God not long ago, knowing his whereabouts. Therefore, he came to us and wanted to send you home."
Xiao Juechen continued to extend the lie spun by Lu Heng, and both sides cooperated seamlessly.
After listening, Wuyu was very grateful and bowed down slowly, saying, "Thank you Uncle Xiao, thank you to the river god master."
"Hey hey hey! Can't do that, can't do that!"
Xiao Juechen quickly reached out to stop her, not daring to let this little she-wolf bow down for real.
The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain is a highly respected and elevated being. Although his daughter, the little she-wolf, has a low cultivation, her station may not necessarily be low.
I may not be able to withstand this little she-wolf's bowing down.
After finally stopping the excited and joyful little she-wolf, Xiao Juechen wiped the sweat from his heart.
Then he said, "In that case, River God Huo will take you away from here and go find your father later."
"River God Huo is guided by the Wolf God and has extremely high cultivation levels, much stronger than the rest of us. Even with the current chaos of devil demons, there are few evil demons in the Fire Pass Country that dare to provoke him."
"So, Miss Wuyu, it will be very safe for you to travel with River God Huo."
Xiao Juechen's words made the little girl even more grateful. She said, "Thank you uncles for taking care of me. Wuyu will never forget your kindness forever."
"Oh no, no need to be so polite, Wuyu."
In the wooden house, after some false politeness, the little girl went to pack her luggage and prepare to leave with Lu Heng.
Later, under Xiao Juechen's guidance, they left the wooden house and headed towards the distant, huge Heaven Door. Soon, they passed through the Heaven Door and arrived in a secluded valley.
Here, is another support point of the Green Hell Cave's Three Realms Array, which is located in the northern territory of the Fire Pass Country. It is surrounded by perilous mountains and desolate wild spirits, and is located thousands of miles away from the Floating Jade Mountain.
It does indeed look like a scene of a catastrophic event where everything is withering away and evil forces are dancing wildly.
But Lu Heng was aware that the desolation of the northern border was not caused by the demons in the Green Hell Cave. Even before the demons ravaged the area, the Fire Pass Country's northern territory was already in such a state.
The reason is related to the Youxiong Country to the north of the Fire Pass Country.
Youxiong…
To tell the truth, Lu Heng has always paid special attention to this country's name.
After all, with a name like Youxiong, there may be a connection to the Yellow Emperor (Xuanyuan Huangdi).
However, with the current chaos in the Fire Pass Country, Lu Heng simply doesn't have time to pay attention to what the Youxiong Country is like farther north.
Nowadays, in the secluded valley where they are located, it seems desolate and empty, but in fact, it hides many evil demons within it.
It's just because of the appearance of Shen Wuyu that those demons cautiously hid themselves and didn't dare to show up. So now, this huge demon cavern is desolate and empty.
Outside the secluded valley, Xiao Juechen bid farewell to Lu Heng and his team.
The little girl was full of reluctance and gratitude towards "Uncle Xiao," who had taken care of her, and said goodbye with fondness all the way.
Xiao Juechen sighed and bowed to Lu Heng, saying, "I'll have to rely on the River God for the rest of the way."
Lu Heng smiled slightly and said, "It is only natural. Brother Xiao, please put your mind at ease. I will definitely escort the daughter of the Wolf God to… see you again another day."
"Goodbye!"
Outside the valley where evil demons lurked, Lu Heng bid farewell to Xiao Juechen.
It really looks like the separation of righteous cultivators.
However, both Xiao Juechen and Lu Heng knew what the other meant: they would meet again in three days in the capital of the Fire Pass Country.
By then, the Dragon Soul will appear and the demon horde will descend the mountain!
After leaving the valley, Lu Heng headed south with Xiao Ai and siblings Shen Wuyou.
The gang wind blew around the four of them. As soon as they left the valley, Shen Wuyou, the little boy who was already unable to contain his excitement, spoke up.
"Sister!"
He grabbed Wuyu and happily asked, "Can you see who I am?"
The little boy's face was full of excitement and Lu Heng smiled, dispelling the illusion on the boy. This allowed Wuyu to see the true appearance of the boy in front of him.
The little girl, who had furrowed her brow slightly due to Shen Wuyou's sudden behavior, instantly widened her eyes and looked unbelieving as soon as she saw her brother's face.
"Wuyou… Wuyou? How could it be you?"
The little boy laughed happily and said, "Not only me, but also Daddy and Sister Xiao Ai!"
Amid the little boy's happy laughter, the illusion around Lu Heng and Xiao Ai dissipated and their true appearance was revealed.
Seeing this scene, the little girl's eyes couldn't help but widen.
"This… what's going on?!"
The little girl suddenly realized that the situation seemed somewhat different from what she had expected.
Despite her incredulous expression, the little boy talked incessantly to her about everything that happened to him after they parted.
And as the little boy continued to speak, the little girl who was beginning to understand the truth, stared at him with ever-widening eyes.
In the end, it had turned into an unbelievable shock.
"Uncle Xiao and the others… are demons?!"
This matter completely overturned the little girl's cognition.
The fleeing light travels rapidly in the sky.
Neither Lu Heng nor Xiao Ai said anything, but the little boy talked incessantly.
He had been through so many twists and turns on the journey that he couldn't help but want to share it with his sister.
Now that he finally saw his sister and his mood calmed down, he wanted to tell her all the things he had been longing to say all at once.
When Lu Heng and his companions approached the capital of Fire Pass Country, the little boy's story was finally finished.
The little girl Shen Wuyu looked at Lu Heng with hesitation and panic on her face, and nervously asked, "You… Are you my father?"
Looking at her hopeful eyes, Lu Heng smiled and said, "Indeed, I am Lu Heng, the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain."
The little girl immediately took two steps forward with excitement, her hands clasped tightly to her chest, "Daddy!"
The little girl said excitedly, "I finally see you, Daddy!"
Lu Heng, however, let out a slight sigh and said, "First, follow me down to rest. We will talk about this matter later."
As Lu Heng sighed, they landed outside the capital of the Fire Pass Country.
On the broad and flat driveway, the wizards in the distance had already seen the escaping light coming from afar and stopped to wait for them.
As Lu Heng landed, the wizards immediately recognized his identity and began to salute him one after another.
"The Wolf God!"
