Chapter 318: Blooming Flowers on a Shared Branch
Outside the capital, several wizards came to greet and respectfully bowed.
And further inside the city walls, the wizards heard the commotion from this side and immediately became excited.
The little girl beside Lu Heng couldn't help but widen her eyes, watching the scene with shock, and the doubts about Lu Heng's identity in her heart were completely dispelled.
So many wizards bowing to father…this simply cannot be achieved by devilish disguises!
Father is truly as legendary, majestic and commanding respect from all!
The little girl's eyes were full of admiration.
Lu Heng then said to the wizards who came to greet him, "Is the lord currently in the capital? I have an urgent matter to discuss with her, please inform her."
As the wizards greeted and led Lu Heng into the capital, they said, "The lord is not currently in the capital, but if the Wolf God has urgent matters, they can rest in the ceremonial hall and we will immediately inform the lord to return. Within three hours, the Wolf God will be able to see the lord."
Among the wizards of the Fire Pass Country, there is a certain kind of long-distance communication technique.
This is the reason why Lianshan Jing, as the ruler of a country, is able to wander around freely.
Although it may seem like she is aimlessly running around, in actuality she is well-informed about various affairs, big and small, within the country.
Many times, she even personally partakes in them.
Lu Heng was not surprised by this and nodded, saying, "Then I'll trouble you all to inform her. This matter is of great importance, and I hope the lord can come back as soon as possible."
Lu Heng's expression was slightly solemn, which made the wizards even more cautious.
Who dares to underestimate a matter that is so highly valued by the Wolf God?
However, before the lord's arrival, they must be careful to entertain the Wolf God and not neglect him in any way.
Soon, escorted by the wizards, Lu Heng and his team passed through the city gates of the capital and boarded a flying boat, heading towards the floating islands in the sky.
The capital of the Fire Pass Country, known as Yanjing, is a massive city that covers a vast area.
It was the largest city Lu Heng had seen since coming to this world.
According to Lianshan Jing, there are a total of 15 million living beings in Yanjing, and there are 17 floating islands of different sizes.
Standing on the floating boat, Lu Heng looked around and saw buildings and bustling crowds under the sky. Above the city, there were 17 gigantic floating islands of different distances, silently standing in the void.
In the sunlight, the houses and roofs on the floating islands were magnificent, and the spiritual beasts roared. Waterfalls were hanging in the air, falling into the vast lakes below. The scattered water droplets formed a rainbow hanging in the air.
Although flying for cultivators is prohibited within the capital city, birds are not included in this category.
Between the floating islands, numerous rare birds were flying back and forth, and even demon cultivators in bird form were swiftly flapping their wings in the air and heading towards a faraway direction.
Of course, there are also land creatures like Lu Heng, who travel up and down on public flying facilities while standing on the floating boat.
Demon cultivators, humans, and many weird and strange non-human races… The scene within Yanjing was too much for Lu Heng to take in all at once. It was even more bustling than the South Sea Mermaid convention.
After all, the Mermaid convention was only open to the top cultivators, and it was always relatively deserted. It was not like Yanjing city, where ordinary mortal people without cultivation could share a floating boat with top cultivators.
These scenes could not be portrayed even by the magical blockbuster movies from my previous life.
-After all, the scale of the scene was too large, and the resulting production expenses would undoubtedly exceed the budget.
Only in this truly fantastical world, can one witness such astonishing scenes.
Looking at this enormous city before him, Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh, thinking of what Lianshan Jing had said before.
"The population of living beings in Yanjing city is 15 million, while in the Fire Pass Country, the total number of registered living beings under the jurisdiction of the Fire God Temple in the various cities is 370 million… If we include the nomads who are not under the jurisdiction of those cities, the number of people will be even higher."
"If the Green Hell Cave remains, the lives of these living beings will be threatened."
"I won't hide it from the Wolf God, as the lord of the Fire Pass Country, I have tremendous pressure…"
The nonchalant, seemingly lazy lord with red hair has been carrying such immense pressure on her shoulders all the time.
Just listening to her talk about the numbers, Lu Heng didn't have much of a feeling.
Now that Lu Heng has personally witnessed the magnificent sight of 15 million people living in the city, he finally experienced the pressure behind that number firsthand.
If the demons are allowed to ravage and indulge the rampant evil demons of the Green Hell Cave, the living beings of the entire city and the vast architectural complex spreading to the distant land will all turn into ashes in three days.
The plan of the demons in the Green Hell Cave must not succeed under any circumstance!
Upon the floating boat, Lu Heng's gaze turned slightly cold.
The fact that the Lord of All Demons considered him as a lifesaving straw, a last resort, was the greatest disaster caused by these demons.
The Heavenly Demon Lord will not come in three days.
What's coming is Lu Heng from Hanyu Mountain!
The floating boat continued to fly over the city, at a speed that approached the limits of fast.
However, due to the power of the formation, one didn't feel the strong and frigid winds, and the distance of several tens of kilometers was quickly traversed.
Their floating boat, belonging to Lu Heng and his companions, docked in front of the tallest and largest of the suspended islands, where a pier extending into the void was already awaiting them, with wizards there to greet them.
However, the wizards knew that Lu Heng didn't like ostentations, so there was no overly grand welcoming ceremony; only Wuzhu, the head of the Fire God Temple, and a few trusted aides came to welcome them.
And standing next to Wuzhu, the head of the Fire God Temple, was someone with red hair and red eyes, whose brilliant smile made it clear that she was…
"Lord Lianshan?" Lu Heng's expression was slightly surprised. "You've come back so soon?"
Seeing Lu Heng's surprise, the red-haired woman giggled, revealing two sharp little tiger teeth.
She said, "The Wolf God was mistaken, you see. I am not your Lord Lianshan. My name is Lianshan Yue. I am the sister of your Lord Lianshan, born to the same mother as her."
"However, although we are not the same person, we look almost identical… I have heard that the Wolf God is still unmarried. I wonder if I might catch the Wolf God's magic eyes and become his partner?"
The bold words spoken with a laugh by Lianshan Yue suddenly caused the faces of the wizards present to turn pale.
"Lady Yue, what nonsense are you talking about! Apologize to the Wolf God right away!"
The wizards became nervous in an instant.
Lu Heng looked at the red-haired woman in front of him, who was exactly identical to Lianshan Jing, and was truly unable to tell them apart.
These two sisters not only look identical and have the same figure, but their breaths are also almost the same. This… Lianshan Jing actually has a twin sister? Why hasn't she mentioned it before?
Moreover, it seems that she is even more unreliable than the careless and lazy Lianshan Jing.
Facing the nervous looks from the wizards, Lu Heng smiled and said, "I am sorry, Lady Yue, but I have two tagalongs with me… Haven't you noticed?"
Lu Heng smiled and pointed to the siblings Shen Wuyu and Shen Wuyou by his side.
To this, Lianshan Yue giggled and said, "It's alright, I don't mind being a stepmother. As long as I can cohabit with the Wolf God, let alone two children, even if twenty more come, I can accept them."
