Chapter 237: Demon Shadow

Chapter 237: Demon Shadow

On the fifth day of May, in the lunar calendar known as midsummer, the scorching sun was blinding.

The fifth line of the Qian Gua in the Book of Changes (I Ching) states, "The dragon soars in the sky." This is a symbol of very auspicious and prosperous circumstances.

As Lu Heng, who was shrouded by the ominous black clouds of heavenly punishment, sensed something, he slowly opened his eyes.

Since he understood the Tao Scripture and unlocked the heavenly door, he has been in seclusion and meditation for five years now.

Hanyu Mountain has also been quiet for five years.

In the first year of cultivation, there were often cultivators from all over the place who came to the mountain seeking advice. There were even young boys and girls kneeling outside the mountain gate, hoping to become disciples, creating a lively atmosphere.

After news spread that Lu Heng had defeated his enemies with the Heavenly Thunder Sword in the South Sea, he gained some reputation in the world of cultivation and attracted many curious visitors from all over the place.

However, in the end, Xiao Ai sent all these people away one by one.

Lu Heng has never appeared in person.

Starting from the second year, the number of visitors gradually decreased.

By the third year, as Lu Heng no longer traveled outside, rumors about him gradually faded away.

Now, after five years have passed, most people have almost forgotten the Wolf God who rose to fame in the South Sea five years ago.

The world of cultivation is ever-changing, and there is never a shortage of fresh legendary stories that attract attention.

Whether it is the ferocious beasts of the Northern Icefield, the walking corpses in the Eastern Wilderness, or the battles between the Fire Pass Country's witches and the demons in the Green Hell Cave... These legendary stories are more attractive than the Wolf God, who had disappeared for five years.

Therefore, Lu Heng also enjoyed five years of peace without being disturbed by the outside world.

Nowadays, he has long left the underground divine palace and directly entered the void with his divine sense, sitting cross-legged within the black clouds in the sky.

In the center of the vortex, within the lightning-filled eye of the storm, Lu Heng in white closed his eyes and absorbed the power of heavenly thunder, no longer needing to attract lightning to strike his body.

Such cultivation doesn't disturb the people with thunder, and it is more convenient to directly absorb the power of calamity within the black clouds.

However, today he was awakened by a certain breath from outside the mountain.

In Shuisheng Village, amidst the bustling crowd and the rituals of prayer and sacrifice, there was a faint scent of wish power wafting through the void.

But this wish power was not directed towards Lu Heng, instead it dissipated into the void, heading towards an unknown destination.

May 5th...

The fat bird became a little confused.

- Could it be an illusion?

But it still flew towards the outside of the peach forest to find the little girl with silver-haired beast ears.

For cultivators, it's impossible to have illusions. This voice must be the command of the Wolf God.

The fat bird flapped its wings and flew away, while Lu Heng, at this moment, returned to the black clouds and began to cultivate.

For some reason, in the past year, although everything in Hanyu Mountain has been so calm, Lu Heng's heart has inexplicably added a sense of urgency and restlessness.

It seems that something extremely bad is about to happen.

Therefore, Lu Heng has never dared to stop cultivating.

And just as Lu Heng returned to cultivate in the black clouds, thousands of miles away in the barren mountains of Hanyu Mountain, the thin old monk had just sat down and drank two sips of the mountain stream water with his hands when he sensed something.

The action of holding the water paused slightly.

Then, the old monk put down the water he had just picked up and turned around to look behind him.

Calm and serene gaze.

"Who? Why not show yourself?"

Jiu Mie's words made the wind in the mountain quiet down a bit.

Afterwards, there was a hoarse and strange laughter echoing in the forest.

"Ha ha ha... It's no wonder that you are the legendary old monk Jiu Mie, you can detect my presence."

"At the peak of immortality, I am unmatched in the world. If I am there, then there is heaven... someone who can boast like this must have some skill, not just a swindler."

In the hoarse and strange laughter, a strange figure emerged from the woods not far away.

The figure was dark and dim, even though it was under the scorching sun, its face and appearance could not be discerned clearly.

Only the thick aura of evil, unrestrained between heaven and earth, caused a slight wrinkle in Jiu Mie's eyebrows.

What a strong demon...

Jiu Mie straightened his body and looked at the strange dark shadow in front of him, saying,

"Do you have any business?"
