Chapter 353: Coincidence
Hu Yi's words caused a slight quietness to fall upon Yunhun Street.
Then someone shouted out loud.
"Has the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain come to the north? Could it be that he has come to the Youxiong Country?"
"This isn't right! Didn't you just say that the Wolf God had destroyed the Green Hell Cave, then returned to the mountain and closed the doors to the mortal world? How come now you are saying that the Wolf God has come to the north?"
"Yes! You are full of nonsense. Which statement is the real one?"
"What Ao Tianxing… Is there really such a person?"
The cultivators questioned one after another, and Hu Yi on the high platform coughed embarrassingly for several times, saying, "Well… everyone please calm down, let me explain slowly."
After seeing the crowd quiet down again, Hu Yi awkwardly said, "Actually, everything I said is correct. After the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain had defeated the demons, he indeed returned to Hanyu Mountain and closed the doors to the mortal world, thus this cultivator, Ao Tianxing, was unable to see the Wolf God."
"And not long after the Wolf God went into seclusion, he did indeed come out and went north, this is also true."
"Just telling a story, there has to be a perfect ending, right? Since what we are talking about is the story of the Green Hell Cave being destroyed, then the ending must be the Green Hell Cave being destroyed."
"If the ending is something like the Wolf God destroying the Green Hell Cave, resting in the mountains for a while, and then going north again… wouldn't the ending of the story be full of lack of interest?"
Hu Yi smiled in an appeasing manner and apologized to everyone.
The various cultivators remained silent for a moment and then someone spoke.
"Ao Tianxing… what an arrogant name. Storyteller, are you sure this guy has claimed that he wants to challenge the Wolf God?"
"The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain is so terrifying. This guy dared to challenge the Wolf God. Could it be that he, too, is a top-notch cultivator? But why haven't we ever heard his name before, despite his tremendous power? It's really strange."
"Well, it's not really surprising. After all, how many of us here know the details about the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain from half a year ago? The world is vast, and not everyone outside of the Youxiong Country has heard of every top-notch cultivator."
"That's true…"
The cultivators discussed one after another.
After Hu Yi finished his storytelling, everyone let go of him and stopped paying attention to him. Instead, they began to discuss Ao Tianxing and the Wolf God with their family and friends around them.
After all, they are different from Hu Yi.
The story of the Wolf God is really just a story for mortals like Hu Yi.
But for this group of cultivators, that is an existence that must be revered and feared. If they happen to encounter it in the wild one day, they must be careful and handle the situation delicately.
On the high stage, Hu Yi breathed a sigh of relief upon noticing that nobody was asking him questions. He quickly and shamefully stepped down from the stage to collect his reward money.
As he looked out at the storyteller leaving the stage from the Fuyu Tower, Lie Lao couldn't help but laugh.
"This storyteller is quite interesting…hahaha…but if all the stories he tells are true, it could get quite troublesome."
"The Fire Pass Country went north and encountered not only the retreating demons at You Xiong, but also the arrogant Ao Tianxing and the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain."
"To tell you the truth, if I had not come to this place today and heard the storyteller's words, even I would not have known that the Wolf God had already gone north."
Lie Lao said, sighing continuously.
"Should I, as a junior, go invite this storyteller in and have him elaborate on the matter of Ao Tianxing?" Nangong Hao asked from the side.
Lie Lao thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "There is no need. Even if we invite him, we won't be able to get any answers. He is just an ordinary person, how could he see things beyond human eyes?"
"If Ao Tianxing truly has the strength to challenge the Wolf God and came to the Youxiong Country with intentions of becoming famous, he will eventually make a name for himself."
"Perhaps tomorrow, when I go out, I might encounter him coming over to pick a fight."
"Compared to that storyteller, I am more concerned about an outside cultivator…"
As he spoke, Lie Lao looked towards the long street outside, his gaze resting on the young boy who had first expressed interest in hearing stories of the Wolf God.
There, a man dressed in all white was traveling with three children. Even among the cultivators who wore varying attire, he was still considered an outlier.
The other's extraordinary and ethereal temperament is what truly caught one's attention.
Lie Lao sat by the window, furrowing his brows slightly as he watched the man dressed in all white.
With his level of cultivation, he couldn't even see through the man's virtual and real existence…
However, it seemed that the other party was completely oblivious to the scrutiny from this side, as he continued to smile and chat with the siblings in front of him.
Lie Lao's eccentric behavior was also seen by everyone in the private room.
Everyone also curiously looked outside and saw the extraordinary man dressed in white.
Nangong Hao curiously asked, "Lie Lao, are you a fan of that cultivator? Why don't we invite him to join us and chat? I think he's extraordinary and worthy of making friends with."
Nangong Hao's words made Lie Lao burst into laughter.
He shook his head, saying, "I've heard plenty from extraordinary people. What catches my attention is the appearance of this cultivator… Ha…doesn't his all-white attire, along with his sword servant carrying an antique sword and silver beast ears on his back, look familiar? Don't you think his outfit is quite similar to someone's?"
Lie Lao's words made everyone in the private room look at each other with surprise. Nangong Hao was even more shocked and said unbelievably, "The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain?"
Lie Lao laughed out loud and shook his head, "If it's really the Wolf God, that would be too coincidental. But in the storyteller's tale, there was no mention of the Wolf God going out with two children."
"Perhaps it's just a coincidence. After all, cultivators dressed in white are everywhere, so having a silver-haired sword servant with beast ears is not that remarkable."
"It's just that these two images combined together seem like a coincidence."
While speaking, Lie Lao said, "However, this cultivator has remarkable bearing and is indeed worth befriending. City Lord Nangong should personally invite him and see if he is willing to have a conversation with us."
Nangong Hao naturally obeyed Lie Lao's orders.
He stood up immediately, clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
After finishing his speech, Nangong Hao left the private room, descended the Fuyu Tower, walked out the door, and headed towards the long street outside.
Wherever the City Lord went, both cultivators and patrol guards couldn't help but stare at him in succession.
Finally, amidst the curious gaze of countless onlookers at both ends of the long street, Nangong Hao in his dashing attire walked directly to a man in white on the side of the road and solemnly clasped his hands together in respect.
"The City Lord of the Zhuxian Town, Nangong Hao, pay my respects to this Daoist friend…May I ask for the name of the esteemed friend?"
With the sudden appearance of Nangong Hao, the man in white seemed a bit surprised.
However, he also stood up and clasped his hands together, saying, "As a wandering cultivator, Huo Feng of the Yun Sect, I pay my respects to City Lord Nangong."
The man in white's words slightly relieved Nangong Hao's anxiety.
Huo Feng of the Yun Sect…excellent! He really isn't the Wolf God!
If he really is the Wolf God from Hanyu Mountain, he truly doesn't know how to deal with this situation.
But since he was just an ordinary cultivator, the pressure in Nangong Hao's heart wasn't that great.
