Chapter 319: The Worries of Wuyou
Lianshan Yue's expression was playful, yet her eyes were inexplicably serious.
Seeing this scene, Lu Heng's heart couldn't help but skip a beat – what's going on?
What's going on with this sister of Lianshan Jing?
She doesn't seem to be joking, but rather serious?
But this is their first meeting, isn't it?
Lu Heng's expression was strange as he said, "Lord Yue's kindness is too much for me to bear… I suggest Lord Yue find someone more suitable for this honor."
As Lu Heng finished speaking and before Lianshan Yue could say anything, she was hurriedly dragged away by the wizards around her.
The fire priest Wuzhu said with an embarrassed expression, "Lord Yue has always been mischievous, the Wolf God, please don't laugh at us."
Lu Heng laughed and said, "No worries, no worries. Occasionally joking around is beneficial for one's physical and mental health…"
Led by the fire priest Wuzhu, Lu Heng's group entered a secluded side hall to wait for Lianshan Jing's arrival.
Meanwhile the fire priest had a pleasant conversation with Lu Heng, discussing various aspects of life in Yanjing City and recent events.
Xiao Ai stood by on the side and refused to take a seat, despite everyone else sitting down.
She was to stand by Lu Heng's side.
Shen Wuyou and his elder sister Wuyu, who had been separated for a long time, were reunited in a strange place. Despite their excitement, they forced themselves to restrain their emotions.
Moreover, they couldn't even interject due to the elders talking beside them. This made the siblings, who had countless things to say to each other, very uncomfortable and on edge.
Seeing the situation, Lu Heng suggested that the siblings should go out for a walk alone and catch up with each other after their long separation.
In the side hall, Lu Heng chatted with the Wuzhu with a smile, while his divine sense occasionally paid attention to the siblings sitting in the courtyard outside, chatting happily.
At one point, Lu Heng heard the young boy say to his sister.
"Sis, there's something I want to tell you."
The little boy said, "A few days ago, I went back home with dad and found that our house has been abandoned for many years…"
"My mother had mentioned the rampage of the Water God of Pang River, which was an old story that happened more than three hundred years ago…"
…
Lu Heng didn't listen to the conversation that followed.
But upon hearing these two sentences, a faint sigh escaped his heart.
It was both a sigh for the wit of Shen Wuyou and for the cruel reality that the siblings had to face.
If Lu Heng's speculation is correct, then the demon that targets him should also make a move on the day of the appearance of the Dragon Soul.
After all, on the day of the Dragon Soul's appearance, demons will run rampant, and Lu Heng will need to deal with many demons from the Green Hell Cave. It would be most appropriate for the enemy to take advantage of the situation and make a move then.
Even if the other party can restrain themselves from making a move, Lu Heng can also pretend to be injured, weak, and reveal a flaw.
That demon, who has been plotting against Lu Heng, will not be able to restrain themselves from seeing him getting injured during the Dragon Soul competition.
So, these adopted children who met by chance, probably only have a few days together…
In the side hall, the conversation between Lu Heng and the fire priest Wuzhu continues.
Two hours passed by quickly.
Lu Heng, who was in the middle of a conversation, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and looked up towards the distance.
In the sky far away, a blazing beam of light suddenly flashed and tore through the air.
It was like a rainbow piercing through the sun. The residents of the Yanjing city all saw this scene and were shocked with widened eyes.
Very few people are able to show off their use of lightness skills and fly in the Yanjing city.
Soon, a figure landed outside the palace. Lianshan Jing rushed inside and said,
"Where is the Wolf God?"
After entering the palace, she immediately looked towards Lu Heng and said with a smile, "The Wolf God is here, how can we not offer the best wine? Quickly bring the finest wine here for The Wolf God to enjoy."
Lianshan Jing opened her mouth to drink, but Lu Heng quickly reached out and stopped her, saying, "The lord is too busy to drink right now, there are still important matters to discuss. As for the wine, there is no rush, we can drink it another day."
Lianshan Jing nodded and said, "Alright then, when we have free time in the future, we'll go to Hanyu Mountain to drink with the Wolf God… The Wolf God cannot refuse."
Lu Heng nodded with a smile and said, "If the lord comes, Lu Heng will welcome you with utmost hospitality."
When Lianshan Jing saw Lu Heng agree, her eyes lit up and she quickly said, "The Wolf God has agreed, we have noted it down, and we cannot go back on our word!"
"No going back on our word, the lord should take a seat," Lu Heng calmed the wine-loving lady lord and said, "The Green Hell Cave is now in imminent danger, so let's prioritize dealing with the demons in the Green Hell Cave."
With that said, Lu Heng didn't beat around the bush and waved his hand to set up a formation to prevent any spying from outside. Then, he, along with Lianshan Jing and the Wuzhu, explained the real plan for dealing with the Green Hell Cave.
Including the identity of the Lord of All Demons, the time when the Dragon Soul will appear in the world, and the plan to attack the city by the Green Hell Cave three days later…
As Lu Heng spoke, one by one, the words he said were shocking and alarming, making Lianshan Jing's expression increasingly solemn.
Even Lianshan Jing, who has always had a lazy personality, can't laugh now.
What Lu Heng revealed is an extremely terrifying evil plan. If the Lord of All Demons actually carries it out, countless people in Yanjing City will surely be killed or injured.
After listening, Lianshan Jing remained silent for a long time.
After a while, Lianshan Jing said slowly, "If this was not said by the Wolf God, but by someone else…even if it was my father who said it, I would think he was talking nonsense."
"The awakening of the Dragon Soul…I didn't expect such a precious treasure to be hidden within my Fire Pass Country. No wonder the outlaws can rampage in many parts of the world, while the Lord of All Demons doesn't go there and chooses to come to my Fire Pass Country to confront us."
"So there was such a great temptation of interest…"
"And there is that ancient woman named Lian Cangqing…"
Lianshan Jing looked at Lu Heng and said, "According to the Wolf God, who is stronger between us and Lian Cangqing?"
"Um…well…" Lu Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "I have never seen the lord take action, but Lian Cangqing's body movement is strange, and her palm technique is devilish. Even the top innate cultivators would suffer if caught off guard against her…"
Lianshan Jing nodded and said, "I understand. Strength is secondary. Her unpredictable body movement and palm technique that is hard to defend against are the most troublesome things."
"If there is no way to deal with her strange palm technique and body movement, no matter how high one's cultivation is, they will end up being defeated like the wife of the Lord of All Demons."
Lianshan Jing said, "Let's leave this person aside for now and first discuss how to deal with the rampage of the demons in the Green Hell Cave…The Wolf God, wait a moment. I will immediately notify the Fire God Temple's Wuzhu and wizards to come and discuss."
Lianshan Jing didn't bother with the location and directly used the special contact of the wizards to call for the top wizards from the Fire God Temple to come to this place and discuss important matters.
Soon, figures came from all over the Fire God Temple, some even hurried over from the Flame Capital on floating boats, all gathering towards the side hall where Lu Heng and the others were located.
However, in order to prevent the spies in the city from noticing any abnormalities, the actions of the wizards were very low-key and cautious, avoiding drawing attention to themselves.
After all, the matter is of great importance, and this time we cannot allow the demons' plan to succeed.
