Chapter 220: Which Is More Precious, Meat or Pork Ribs?
Jiu Mie's words startled Lu Heng.
"My friend, you…"
Lu Heng widened his eyes! He was really frightened after hearing that.
Has his deepest secret been discovered? Did Jiu Mie realize he had died once?
This is too horrifying…
Seeing him like this, Jiu Mie chuckled, devoid of the airs and image of a skilled cultivator, but rather like a mischievous child who had successfully pulled off a prank.
He chuckled and said, "To see the frightened expression of Friend Lu Heng, I didn't make this effort in vain… hahaha…"
Lu Heng looked at him in silence and said, "So my friend, you intentionally came to scare me… but how did you calculate that I had died once?"
As far as Lu Heng knew, although the world had the Great Path of cultivation, there was no such thing as fortune-telling. No matter how high a cultivator's cultivation level was, they could not achieve the ability to "count on one's fingers and know everything".
Therefore, Lu Heng was quite curious about how the old ascetic cultivator calculated that he had died once.
Jiu Mie also had no intention of hiding it and smiled, saying, "When I first met you, I was curious for a long time. As a demon cultivator, having a human-shaped soul is simply contrary to reason."
"Later at the Dragon Falling Mountain, while discussing the Tao with you, I learned more about it. After I returned, I painstakingly deduced for more than three months before realizing that you were already a dead man."
"This method of turning death into life, transforming a mortal body, and creating a new soul, can indeed eliminate many difficulties, but it also relies on the courage of you… Are you not afraid of one wrong move and losing your soul?"
Saying this, Jiu Mie couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly, with an expression of "you are a madman."
Regarding this, all Lu Heng could do was to smile helplessly. However, it's not like he willingly wanted to die once…
However, according to Jiu Mie's theory, because he had already died once, his bad luck and calamities have been nullified? From now on, when cultivating, he won't suffer from calamities like what happened to Huo Feng, right?
This is actually a good news.
Lu Heng sighed and said, "My friend has a sharp eye, you're the first one who has seen through me. I admire you."
"However, my friend, you came all the way to the South Sea to find me, I hope it isn't just to give me a scare," Lu Heng chuckled and asked, "Is there any other plan that you have?"
Jiu Mie pointed to the Sky-reaching Pillar not far away and said, "Apart from scaring my friend, the rest of the purpose is to watch the excitement."
"Oh?" Lu Heng was very surprised and asked, "Do you like to watch the excitement?"
Jiu Mie laughed out loud and said, "Watching other people's excitement is not something I feel interested in, but I am quite interested in watching your excitement, my friend. Moreover, the Mermaid Kingdom has various mysterious places and is not an ordinary place."
"This trip of mine is also to take care of you… At least, if you are urgently killed by the Mermaids, I can timely snatch away your corpse."
"I have never tasted the taste of the meat of a werewolf. I cannot let these Mermaids take advantage."
Upon hearing Jiu Mie's words, Lu Heng stared in amazement.
"If you are interested, my friend, I can roast a front paw for you to taste… But alas, my friend, you have no meat on you, only bones. I'm afraid you won't be able to return me the same amount of meat."
Jiu Mie laughed heartily and said, "Although I have no meat, bone soup made from ribs would taste sensational. I'm afraid your body fat cannot compare to my bones."
After speaking, the old man and the wolf looked at each other and burst into laughter.
The sound of laughter kept echoing out into the distance, making Xiao Ai, who was standing nearby, look up curiously.
And as the old man and the wolf sat laughing at the cliff's edge, the atmosphere at the top of the heavenly stone pillar, inside the palace, had reached a fever pitch.
Leaning on the platform with a displeased expression, Lian Caiyi addressed the audience below.
"The killer is Moluo Evil Spirit, not Huo Feng! Why do you insist that Huo Feng should die? What is your motive?"
"The Wolf God has already provided a solution for this matter. By forcing Moluo Evil Spirit out of Huo Feng's body, we can then eliminate the demon. Can't this be the revenge for your loved ones? Do you have to let innocent Huo Feng die with them?"
Fuming with anger, Lian Caiyi questioned them furiously. However, the people she scolded didn't budge, but instead sneered.
"The Wolf God is Miss Huo Feng's friend, and it is natural for him to protect his friend. Do you believe that he can solve the Moluo Evil Spirit just because he said so?"
"Exactly! The Moluo Evil Spirit has been wreaking havoc for many years. Everyone knows that those controlled by the evil demons cannot be freed unless the evil demons voluntarily leave. What makes the Wolf God think that he can force the Moluo Evil Spirit out? Just because even if we all fight together, we cannot defeat him because of his great strength?"
"I think the Wolf God is clearly protecting the evil demon because he doesn't want his friend to die. He has no way of forcing the Moluo Evil Spirit out. If he did, he would have already forced it out and given it to everyone to deal with!"
"You're right! Since you said that the Wolf God can force the Moluo Evil Spirit out, let him do it now and force the Moluo Evil Spirit out of this woman's body. Then we will only go after the Moluo Evil Spirit and not harm Miss Huo Feng!"
"Hmph! Even the Mermaid Kingdom cannot deal with this Moluo Evil Spirit and can only execute and kill those possessed by the demon. Can the Wolf God of the Hanyu Mountain really compete with the ancient and legendary Mermaid Kingdom?"
In the crowd, the equally furious relatives of the deceased shouted loudly.
However, on the throne nearby, Yu Hailing narrowed her eyes and directly slapped the old man who mentioned the Mermaid Kingdom from afar, sending him flying several meters away.
The lord of the Mermaid Kingdom's icy voice resounded in the hall.
"As I have said before! Today's matter is a public trial and has nothing to do with the Mermaid Kingdom! Whoever speaks ambiguously again, I will throw them into the Extreme Hell Black Water to cool down!"
The voice of the lord of the Mermaid Kingdom rang out, and the palace instantly quietened down.
King Zhenbei looked on with terror as the old man was slapped and sent flying several meters away, his head almost completely missing. His heart shuddered.
Although the old man quickly got up and his missing half head slowly regenerated, it didn't harm his essence.
However, the lord of the Mermaid Kingdom, with her extremely ruthless move, managed to restrain these increasingly agitated people.
After the lord of the Mermaid Kingdom finished speaking, there was a full half-minute of dead silence in the palace, and King Zhenbei dared not provoke Lian Caiyi any further.
Seeing this, the mermaid spirit Yu Hai frowned slightly and said coldly.
"Since you have no more words to say, let us proceed to the final task…voting."
"The vote is whether to execute Miss Huo Feng on the spot, or to follow the proposal given by the Wolf God and hand the Moluo Evil Spirit over to him for disposal…voting begins!"
Looking down at the many renowned exponents of the South Sea and the parties involved, Yu Hailing said, "The South Sea audience is present for this vote. How to handle Miss Huo Feng will depend on the opinion of the South Sea. The Mermaid Kingdom will not interfere."
"Afterwards, whatever the reason, it will be the collective opinion of everyone present. If I find out later that someone has tarnished the reputation of the Mermaid Kingdom behind my back…hmph!"
With a cold glance in King Zhenbei's direction, Yu Hailing didn't conceal her disgust.
