Chapter 344: No One Can Remain Young Forever
After Lian Cangqing left the battlefield and stopped causing trouble, Lu Heng and the others exerted all their efforts to deal with the remaining demons and evil demons. As a result, all of the powerful forces in the Green Hell Cave that were trapped in the Holy Fire Demon Binding Net were quickly killed and annihilated.
Although the Lord of All Demons couple was strong, without the suppression of Lu Heng's Heavenly Thunder Sword, giving them the freedom to act would result in the Fire God Temple side suffering heavy losses even if they could kill all the demons and evil demons in the Green Hell Cave.
However, because the Heavenly Thunder Sword destroyed the Lord of All Demons couple with a single strike, eliminating the two most difficult demons, the remaining innate demon cultivators, Xiao Juechen and General Tiger Dragon, although strong, were vastly outnumbered and could not affect the course of the battle.
When the sun began to set, the group of demons in the mountains and forests were completely eradicated.
As for the demonic army that was heading towards Yanjing City, they fell into almost all of the traps set by the wizards of the Fire God Temple halfway through and were almost entirely trapped.
Compared to the demons here around Lu Heng, those heading towards Yanjing City were almost all cannon fodder and small fry.
After the wizards eliminated the group of demons led by the Lord of All Demons, they were able to easily defeat the remaining evil demons heading towards Yanjing City with just a flick of their hands.
At this moment, when the dust had settled, Lu Heng bid farewell to Lianshan Jing.
"I will go back to the mountains to check the situation first, and the remaining tasks will be entrusted to all of you."
As Lu Heng spoke, he grabbed Jiu Mie and said, "Dear friend, come with me for a journey."
Lu Heng was worried that he might encounter Lian Cangqing blocking his way or the sinister demon shadow that had cursed and harmed him, so he pulled Jiu Mie along for the journey.
The Heavenly Thunder Sword can only be used once, and now that it has been used, it is the weakest moment for Lu Heng.
Although he still had his trump card, the aura of thunder that he had been accumulating for years could be used to defend against the enemy.
There is also his Requiem Seal…
But just to be safe, Lu Heng dragged Jiu Mie along as a bodyguard to accompany him.
To this request, Jiu Mie naturally could not refuse, and could only let Lu Heng drag him along.
Xiao Ai went to Yanjing City to pick up Shen Wuyou and his sister, and then the group of five left the battlefield of the wizard and demon war, heading straight towards Hanyu Mountain.
It is worth mentioning that the Lord of All Demons' long-awaited dragon soul appeared at a crucial moment in the battle between wizards and demons.
However, at that time, neither side of the war could afford to divert their attention to capture the earth dragon's soul, so they could only watch helplessly as the dragon soul flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
Of course, Lu Heng didn't care about this dragon soul.
He headed west all the way to quickly reach Hanyu Mountain.
Although his physical body had long arrived, Lu Heng didn't let his physical body appear.
It's better to keep the secret of his physical body and spiritual soul being independent of each other hidden.
Not long after Lu Heng and the others left the battlefield, they saw a ray of light rushing towards them in the distance, which turned out to be Gongshu Jie who had previously chased Madame Green Bamboo and other demons.
Lu Heng stopped in mid-air and greeted with a smile, "Gongshu Wuzhu, have you eradicated all the evil?"
Gongshu Jie shook his head, then nodded and said, "More or less… Except for Madame Green Bamboo, all the other demons have been eliminated."
"Although Madame Green Bamboo escaped, she was hit by my Yanluo Palm, which shattered all her muscles and veins, and severely damaged her cultivation. Even if she managed to run away, she won't survive for long."
Gongshu Jie's words made Lu Heng fall into a brief silence.
However, Lu Heng didn't offer any evaluations, but instead he bowed to Gongshu Jie again, bidding farewell to each other.
After that, there were no more incidents on the road.
The previously departed Lian Cangqing didn't spring a surprise attack on Lu Heng halfway through the journey as he had feared.
And the bizarre demon shadow that Lu Heng had been guarding against never appeared either, as if Lu Heng's journey with Jiu Mie had scared it off.
And so, Lu Heng and the others arrived smoothly at Hanyu Mountain and landed in front of the Wolf God Temple.
The devastated Hanyu Mountain was being cleaned up by several cultivators from Huo Feng and the Wind Strike Department.
Upon seeing Lu Heng return, Huo Feng's face was ashamed as he said, "I was not strong enough and allowed that group of demons to escape…"
However, Lu Heng patted his shoulder and said, "It's fine, they cannot run away… Xiao Ai, didn't you make a magical artifact using Sun Yan's hair? Could you pluck a few strands off and give them to me now?"
Tracking someone's whereabouts through their personal hair is not a particularly profound secret technique, and Lu Heng, who has read extensively, naturally knows how to do it.
After receiving the white monkey hair handed over by Xiao Ai, Lu Heng said, "It would have been fortunate if they didn't capture Sun Yan. But by taking him away, they have actually given me a target to track."
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Next, I will go after Sun Yan. Please take care of Hanyu Mountain for me, Friend Jiu Mie."
"If that Lian Cangqing comes knocking on the door, my good friend, you can just use the indestructible body to face her."
Jiu Mie's eyes widened at Lu Heng's words.
But there was no way to refuse, so he could only say, "But let me say this first, your Hanyu Mountain is poor and desolate, and even a place to eat can't be found in the mountain."
"The peaches on the back of your mountain have ripened, and I won't leave them for you."
Jiu Mie's words made Lu Heng laugh heartily, saying, "As long as my friend likes it, feel free to take them."
After speaking, Lu Heng looked towards Huo Feng and said, "Brother Huo has made a deal with Moluo Evil Spirit to let it rest for half a year. During this time, Brother Huo will take over its body… Well, why don't you take advantage of this time to reunite with your family in the East Sea?"
Huo Feng, however, shook his head and declined the proposal given by Lu Heng.
"I understand the good intentions of the Wolf God, but half a year of being together won't change anything," said the junior.
"The child has finally adapted to life without his father around. If I were to go and see him, and then disappear again in less than half a year, he will find it even harder to endure."
"It would be better to not see each other at all, so that both parties can be spared the agony of separation in the future."
While speaking, Huo Feng let out a slight sigh and said, "Caiyi must have had the same idea. This is why she didn't bring the child to visit the mountains. She is afraid that it would be difficult for the Wolf God and also considering the child's situation."
"Moreover, the Wolf God promised to everyone present that he would not dispatch Huo Feng nor would he allow the Moluo Evil Spirit to exist. If I were to bring the Moluo Evil Spirit to the mortal realm, wouldn't that be a humiliation to the Wolf God's reputation?"
At this point, Huo Feng folded his hands and said, "So I will stay in the mountains and guard them for the Wolf God."
"If there are any more evil demons causing trouble, I can also intervene in time and prevent today's events from happening again."
Huo Feng's words made Lu Heng fall silent for a moment.
He looked at the slightly disheartened man in front of him and knew that he must have been longing to reunite with his family at the Luan Xin Ge, and to hold his child whom he had never met before.
However, under such circumstances, Huo Feng didn't allow himself to take the Moluo Evil Spirit down the mountain to the mortal world.
Despite his young age, the young man of the Yun sect has already experienced many ups and downs in life. However, now he is full of vitality and spirit compared to when he was first met.
On the contrary, he seemed a bit weathered and old.
Thinking about this, Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh and said, "If we encounter such a situation again, Brother Huo, please don't come out again."
"If you are trapped in this Hanyu Mountain and unable to reunite with your family because of me, then my conscience will be troubled," said Lu Heng.
