Chapter 223: The Peak of Immortals, Proudly in the World
The direction pointed by Elder Tao's wooden staff is where the voice is coming from.
With his cultivation, he can clearly perceive the power of the person in the dark… Humph! Has that old wolf finally arrived?
Elder Tao snorted coldly and said, "Since you've come, why not show yourself? Hiding and revealing only your head, what kind of Wolf God are you!"
The icy snort of Elder Tao stunned everyone present… Could it be that the rumored Wolf God had finally arrived?
And Li Po and the others who knew Lu Heng were stunned because it wasn't the voice of the Wolf God at all.
In the emptiness, that ancient voice resounded once more.
"Haha… Indeed a true cultivator, with one breath you have exposed my disguise."
"Yes, that's me - Hanyu Mountain's Wolf God, Lu Heng, who has been ordered by the heavens to eliminate all evil with the heavenly thunder and shake the world with the ancient sword."
Amidst the boisterous and self-assured laughter, there was a sound of astonishment.
"My friend, you…"
The direction pointed by Elder Tao's wooden staff saw the gradual descent of two silhouettes.
A white-clad, ethereal man with an exceptional temperament; the other, an emaciated ascetic cultivator.
The appearance of these two individuals with completely opposite temperaments, one after the other, made Elder Tao furrow his brows slightly.
That man in white is the legendary Wolf God, he knows it, but this seemingly ordinary ascetic cultivator…
Elder Tao interrogated, "Who are you? How dare you play around with me?"
Everyone saw that the thin old ascetic cultivator who spoke and claimed to be Lu Heng.
Regarding this, Elder Tao's expression showed a slight anger, sensing the provocation…this old wandering cultivator was blatantly playing with him!
When faced with Elder Tao's interrogation, Jiu Mie smiled faintly and said, "I am a being of the mortal world…"
But as soon as Jiu Mie opened his mouth, Lu Heng, who was standing nearby, coughed and said: "This is my good friend, a peerless immortal in the world, Jiu Mie, a renowned cultivator of heaven. There is a poem praising him, which is 'At the peak of immortality, standing proudly among the world, With me, Jiu Mie, even the heavens shall tremble.'…"
The brief introduction of Lu Heng caused a momentary furrowing of brows among the people present.
At the peak of immortality, standing proudly among the world, With me, Jiu Mie, even the heavens shall tremble… What an arrogant tone!
Isn't this Wolf God's friend too arrogant? Even among those who have attained the Dao of true cultivation, there are not many who are as arrogant as him.
Elder Tao sneered and said, "You think having you, Jiu Mie, means having the heavens? Hahaha… What a shameless claim! It's like a toad yawning with such a big mouth!"
"I only thought the old wolf was domineering in his actions, but I didn't expect his friend to be of the same ilk. Truly, birds of a feather flock together, and like attracts like."
"Now that you two have come together, are you planning to have a showdown with me, and protect your friend Huo Feng, the demon woman who harms human life?"
"Self-proclaimed deity, yet fails to annihilate demons and instead selfishly gives protection… Hmph! The so-called Wolf God is nothing but a mere joke."
Elder Tao sneered and said, "Today, with me here, will you attack together or one by one?"
The elderly person's scolding voice, laid out a direct stance, indicating a desire for a battle of skills.
Regarding this matter, Lu Heng was quite helpless.
"You insist on competing for a victory… but even if you win, will it avenge your disciple? The one who truly took the life of your disciple is Moluo Evil Spirit."
"As long as we force out the Moluo Evil Spirit and then slay it, that is truly how we avenge your disciple, Your Excellency."
Lu Heng urged this highly skilled old ascetic cultivator to sheathe his sword.
After all, the palace of the Mermaid Kingdom is majestic and splendid. If it were to be damaged by a sword, Lu Heng would not be able to afford the compensation.
As soon as Lu Heng finished speaking, Jiu Mie, who was standing next to him, nodded and said, "My friend, you have a kind heart and don't want to resort to violence. This is indeed a good deed."
As he spoke, he looked towards Elder Tao at the center of the Divine Palace and said with a smile, "Friend Tao, your reluctance to accept the judgement of the South Sea's group is nothing but the fear that my friend Lu Heng may act unjustly, releasing or concealing the woman possessed by the evil demon for personal reasons."
"But in terms of exterminating this Moluo Evil Spirit, eliminating harm in the world, and seeking revenge for the dead, your thoughts are actually the same as Lu Heng's."
"Since your ideas are similar, why must you engage in deadly combat?"
Jiu Mie said, "If you really don't trust Lu Heng, you can go to Hanyu Mountain with him and witness for yourself his confinement of demons and production of evil demons. Under your supervision and witness, Lu Heng cannot possibly continue to shield these evil demons, can he?"
Upon hearing the words of Jiu Mie, everyone present nodded in agreement.
"Not bad, not bad. If Elder Tao doesn't trust the Wolf God, he can always supervise him on the same journey."
"The Moluo Evil Spirit has always been cunning, and only the Wolf God's Heavenly Thunder Prison can concoct an attack and harm it. Being inside the Heavenly Thunder Prison is the cruelest punishment for any evil demon… Other than the Wolf God, there is probably nobody who can force the Moluo Evil Spirit out."
Within the palace, people have expressed their own opinions.
This view is the opinion of the majority and also the reason why they are willing to vote to keep Huo Feng.
Apart from the Wolf God's excellent reputation and trustworthiness, the Wolf God's Heavenly Thunder Prison is also indeed capable of forcing out the Moluo Evil Spirit.
Otherwise, if someone else were to come and would only speak empty words and claim that they could force out the Moluo Evil Spirit and take away the Huo Feng, the voting results of the people present would be different.
However, the people's discussion made Elder Tao coldly snicker and say.
"Follow him? Pfah! On what grounds! I, Elder Tao, shall go wherever I please without the need for someone to guide me."
"Moreover, to expect me to follow this old wolf like a sycophant… What a joke!"
"And who knows how many years he will need to force out the Moluo Evil Spirit? If it takes thousands or tens of thousands of years to force out that evil demon, do I have to stay in his poor and shabby Hanyu Mountain for thousands or tens of thousands of years?"
"My opinion is only one, either let me take away the demon female Huo Feng today, or execute her on the spot! It makes no difference who comes! No one's words will be effective!"
Elder Tao firmly tapped the wooden staff in her hand and said, "If you're not convinced, then let's have a fight! As for the so-called ancient Wolf God, I also want to see what kind of abilities it really has!"
The fierce and unyielding attitude of Elder Tao caused a slight furrow of Lu Heng's brow, prompting him to summon a powerful yellow seal behind him.
Gloomy and lifeless atmosphere instantly pervaded within the divine palace.
Upon seeing this profound and vivid seal, Jiu Mie was somewhat surprised and asked, "Friend, why not draw your sword?"
Lu Heng sighed and said, "Didn't you say it? One should always leave room for maneuvering and avoid being too extreme… Otherwise, it may bring harm to oneself and others."
Blowing up thousands of stars is already enough to make it up to the Mermaid Kingdom, so how can you still have the nerve to ask them to repair the palace?
However, Lu Heng's exclamation was extremely grating to Elder Tao's ears.
He snorted coldly and said, "Pretending to be mysterious! If you have any means, just use them! Don't you claim to be the owner of the ancient sword that can control the world with a half swing? Why don't you show your ancient sword now? Trying to deceive and intimidate me? This is ridiculous!"
Elder Tao's malicious insults caused a slight furrow in Xiao Ai's brow, prompting her to take a step forward and step out from the crowd.
The ancient sword with a dark blue hue instantly caught the attention of the crowd.
Elder Tao sneered even more coldly and said, "Oh…So the sword is here? You made a little girl carry it on her back. Aren't you going to draw your sword now?"
Elder Tao's provocation left Lu Heng somewhat speechless.
He sighed helplessly as he looked at Xiao Ai, who was furious because of the humiliation she suffered, and Elder Tao who kept insulting with words non-stop in front of him.
He said, "Since the day I forged this sword, no one has been able to draw it from its sheath."
With a light wave of his sleeve, Lu Heng dissipated the Requiem Seal and directly stirred his mind.
In an instant, a green light flew out from Xiao Ai's back, soaring up against the heavens and transforming into a dark blue longsword suspended in the void.
The scabbard of the sword trembled slightly, as if stirring and rousing something within.
And when Priest Li Po inside the divine palace saw this scene, his eyes lit up, and he became so excited that his body trembled slightly.
Is the wolf god going to finally unsheathe Heavenly Thunder Sword that he personally forged?
