Chapter 296: Who Is the Strongest Person of the Generation?
Lu Heng was greatly surprised to see the anxious and disheveled appearance of Gu Yin.
Although he knew that this aloof and reclusive musician coming to his door must be for an important matter, seeing him in such a disheveled state may have meant that the matter was urgent…
Lu Heng looked behind Gu Yin and saw no figure of his master, his expression became serious.
"Brother Gu Yin, please tell me, what has happened?"
Lu Heng asked, and Gu Yin immediately recounted everything that happened in the depths of the swamp.
After Lu Heng listened to it all, his expression became even more solemn.
The mysterious woman who had taken possession of Gu Yin's Master's body, her arrogant claim of wanting to prove her immortality once again in this lifetime, as well as her strong confidence in directly asking who the strongest person in the world was…
This…
Could it be that his own sword just happened to strike the tomb of some ancient monster, and shook her out from within?
Lu Heng's expression was a bit awkward.
Although the current Gu Yin didn't blame him and even rushed to report the news, Lu Heng himself understood that this matter must be related to his own sword strike.
Moreover, the resurrected woman spoke immediately of her desire to seek out the strongest person in the world…
Although Gu Yin temporarily deceived her and led her to the Green Hell Cave to find trouble with the Lord of All Demons.
However, such lies cannot be concealed for long.
That woman only needs to casually ask a few cultivators of the Fire Pass Country and there will be groups of people telling her.
"The strongest person in the world is the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain!"
…although Lu Heng knew that he couldn't yet be considered the strongest.
But a few days ago, when that sword fell, he became the most prominent figure in the Fire Pass Country. He is sure to become the biggest target.
That resurrected woman will come knocking sooner or later…
Thinking of this, Lu Heng felt a bit helpless in his heart.
Sighing deeply, he said, "The Heavenly Sword only cut down a few small fishes, but now it has aroused the attention of such an old demon…sigh… it seems that my luck as Lu Heng is really bad."
Lu Heng felt helpless and sighed, while Gu Yin slightly bowed in response.
"I have already informed the Wolf God about this matter. I will take my leave now. Farewell to the Wolf God."
Having said this, the unsociable and cold man was about to leave.
Lu Heng was greatly astonished. He thought Gu Yin had come to ask for his help in saving their master's body.
But now, the other person had spoken and was about to leave?
Lu Heng quickly spoke to stop him, "Brother Gu Yin, please wait a moment. Why don't we travel together and find your master's body?"
In response to Lu Heng's proposal, Gu Yin shook his head and refused, saying, "I understand the kindness of the Wolf God. However, I am used to traveling alone, and I know my strength is weak. Staying with the Wolf God would only hinder his efforts. Therefore, it is best for me to act alone."
"If the Wolf God can really defeat that woman in the future and leave our master's body intact, Gu Yin will be extremely grateful."
After speaking, the musician carrying the qin case flew up and transformed into a light, heading towards a faraway place.
Coming in a hurry, leaving with such decisiveness, it greatly surprised Lu Heng.
This Gu Yin, his personality is quite unique…
But since the other party was determined to leave, Lu Heng could not stop them and could only watch the light disappear, feeling a sigh in his heart.
Leaving the intact physical body of your master… that's quite difficult.
If Lu Heng were to take action now, he could only rely on the Heavenly Thunder Sword.
Without the Heavenly Thunder Sword, his strength is not considered strong. Although he could crush cultivators at the same cultivation level with the help of the Heavenly Thunder, he could not compare to people like Jiu Mie, who already condensed the five elements in his chest and raised the Three Primes on top of his head.
But if the Heavenly Thunder Sword is revealed, would it be possible to preserve Gu Yin's Master's physical body…
This is almost an impossible scenario.
At the lake shore, Lu Heng looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh as he said, "…"
"It seems like it's time to ask Friend Jiu Mie for help."
"Since that woman wants to find the strongest person of this world, then the unparalleled and peerless old monk Jiu Mie at the pinnacle of immortality cultivation certainly deserves the title of the strongest person of this world."
In the Luwu Mountain, Lu Heng shook his head and sighed.
Meanwhile, in the city of Sanshui located in the central region of the Fire Pass Country, an old traveling monk dressed in tattered robes suddenly sneezed.
Confused, he rubbed his nose.
"Hmm? Is there someone calling me from behind?"
The old monk was somewhat puzzled, "Moreover, it's a skilled cultivator … Could it be that Lu Heng, this cunning old wolf, has set his sights on me?"
"He has recently been in the limelight, scaring off evil beings and even went to visit his deceased wife's dwelling in the Luwu Mountain. He shouldn't have the time to think about me, right?"
"Or perhaps he mentioned some distressing news?"
Jiu Mie murmured with confusion and had barely taken a few steps before being stopped by someone.
Here, is a secluded alley, with rare signs of human activity.
In the air, there hangs a faint smell of urine, a testament to how many people have relieved themselves in this alley under the cover of night.
While Jiu Mie was stopped, he happened to be standing next to a pile of festering garbage, emanating a putrid smell and attracting countless buzzing flies.
"Old man, what are you doing following us?"
In front of the old monk, a burly and ferocious man coldly asked, "You have been following us all the way… who sent you?"
As the burly man stopped Jiu Mie in his tracks, other figures of his companions emerged from the corners of nearby alleys, surrounding him on all sides.
When they realized they were being followed earlier, they had tacitly agreed to change direction and slip into this rarely-visited alleyway.
Now, they had indeed easily blocked the old monk who was following them.
Confronted with the emaciated old monk who looked as if a gust of wind could knock him over, everyone became cautious and drew out their weapons.
Facing the group of fierce and malevolent men, the old monk snapped out of his reverie and realized that he still had unfinished business.
He let out a sigh at once.
"Alas…I had no intention to meddle in worldly affairs, but as the proverb goes, when the tree is quiet, the wind doesn't subside. The battle against evil demons has prevented the old ascetic cultivator from focusing on his cultivating of asceticism and enlightenment."
"After all is said and done, it is all you minions of demons causing trouble in the shadows… As traitors to the cause of demons, the benefits bestowed upon you by the Green Hell Cave must be considerable, right?"
The inquiry of the old monk caused the leading cultivator's expression to suddenly change.
"Take action!"
They no longer cared who sent this old fellow, as soon as the other side exposed their identity as the ones who have been interfering, both sides were ready to fight until death!
We must quickly take care of this old fellow, and then flee from Sanshui City!
This city has become unsafe!
Within the alley, the glint of the sword was cold and sharp, and the aura was like a rainbow.
The scene of seven cultivators attacking at the same time was enough for even a patrolling wizard to hurriedly flee.
Not to mention the leading cultivator, who has already condensed the five energies in his chest and is only a step away from entering the next realm. Among mortals, he is already considered a top-notch cultivator.
However, the glimmer of the sword and aura of the sword only shone for a moment, and then vanished silently.
Even the narrow alley's mud walls on both sides were not even a bit damaged.
After about a dozen breaths, an old monk in a tattered robe walked out of the alley with a pained expression on his face.
He blended into the crowd of people on the street outside.
As for those seven cultivators with exceptional cultivation, they completely disappeared and no one has ever seen them again.
