Chapter 262: Taboo of Demons

Chapter 262: Taboo of Demons

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Heng asked again.

"Could it be that this jinx is also cultivating the demonic path? I have heard that the leader of the Green Hell Cave controls all demons within the Fire Pass Country, and all demons in the southeast bow their heads to it. When did such a disobedient jinx emerge... Could it be that it is also from outside of the Fire Pass Country?"

Lu Heng's inquiry made Xiao Juechen sigh and say.

"Replying to His Majesty, although that jinx uses demonic methods, it doesn't possess any demonic aura. It doesn't belong to our group."

"As for its origin... as His Majesty has said, it is someone from outside of our territory. The Green Hell Cave and the Fire Pass Country's wizards have been fighting for six years, and the chaos caused by this constant battle has long attracted many outsiders."

"Currently, although it appears that only the Green Hell Cave is at war with the wizards in the Fire Pass Country, in reality, there are many demonic cultivators from outside the Fire Pass Country who are secretly present."

"When there is a gathering of demonic cultivators, naturally, it will also attract righteous cultivators to come... although most of these foreign visitors are hiding in the dark and don't show themselves, it is not uncommon for a jinx to emerge who specializes in targeting us demonic cultivators."

Xiao Juechen's narration is consistent with Lu Heng's speculation.

That cultivator who was chasing after many demonic cultivators on the scene is indeed someone from outside the territory.

Moreover, he should not have any connection with the Fire Pass Country, so much so that when Lianshan Jing told Lu Heng about the situation in the Fire Pass Country before, she didn't mention this jinx who was chasing after the demonic cultivators.

In other words, is the opposing party a lone ranger?

Then this becomes even more interesting.

A lone ranger who uses demonic means to chase after demonic cultivators has piqued Lu Heng's interest.

Lu Heng, who originally intended to thoroughly deal with the demonic cultivators in this area after figuring out the situation, has now temporarily suppressed his killing intent and plans to wait until he meets that interesting cultivator before exterminating them.

He smiled at the demonic practitioner in front of him and said, "The jinx will be driving everyone here towards the west. After going about two thousand miles west of here, it should be the Hanyu Mountain territory, right? Could it be that the jinx intends to drive everyone away and cause trouble for Lu Heng by urging them to go find Hanyu Mountain?"

The words spoken by Lu Heng with a smile caused a bitter expression to appear on Xiao Juechen's face. He was trembling not only from the brilliant smile, but also because he was startled by the mention of the Heavenly Demon Lord's name.

He directly called out the name of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain... even the owner of the (demonic) cave wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

What is the origin of the Heavenly Demon Lord? As a demonic practitioner, how could he dare to call out the name of the Wolf God directly... Isn't he afraid of the Wolf God?

He wiped away a cold sweat and came to the conclusion that the Heavenly Demon Lord standing before him was either extremely bold and skilled, or truly ignorant of everything.

With an awkward smile, Xiao Juechen said, "We are also very concerned about this matter, which is why the abbot sent me here to coordinate and gather the power of all fellow disciples, to snipe the Star of Calamity here and prevent him from driving people to the west again."

"So many demonic cultivators walking towards the west, if they were to clash with the Wolf God, it would be a big problem."

As he spoke, Xiao Juechen looked around and lightly tapped his finger, setting up a soundproof barrier around himself and Lu Heng.

In a low voice, he said, "In addition, to be frank with the Heavenly Demon Lord, according to the intelligence I received from the Green Hell Cave, the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain has already descended the mountain and is now heading east."

"Although I dare not approach to spy, based on the pace, the Wolf God should arrive nearby in about one or two days. That's why the abbot urgently sent me here, not only to stop the momentum of these demonic beings, but also to assassinate the jinx and disperse the demons before the arrival of the Wolf God."

"Today's Fierce Demon Feast is an act of helplessness in haste. In any case, we can no longer move westward..."

Xiao Juechen hinted with his eyes as he spoke.

Lu Heng suddenly realized and glanced down at the surging demon shadows below, his smile teasing.

"I see... Either you gather the power of the demons here to assassinate the jinx, and then disperse the demons. Or the demons are annihilated, and the jinx changes its target... Right?"

Lu Heng's sarcastic words didn't make Xiao Juechen angry.

After all, in the demon path, mutual deception is a normality and it didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

With a faint smile, Xiao Juechen said, "Even if I don't say it, the Evil Lord will surely be able to guess this matter."

"Moreover, it's not that we are heartless, it's just that the current struggle between the wizards and the demons is so fierce that we can't spare any hand to deal with this Star of Calamity. However, we can't let him really drive the demons to attack the Wolf God, or the consequences would be even more terrible."

"If the Wolf God really gets angry, it won't just be dozens or hundreds of fellow cultivators who die a tragic death..."

Xiao Juechen looked at the many demons below the stage with indifferent eyes, "To sacrifice the small for the sake of the large is something we must do when we have no other choice."

As he spoke, Xiao Juechen looked at Lu Heng and said, "But fortunately, with the arrival of the Evil Lord and his assistance, that Star of Calamity will have no chance to leave once he comes."

Xiao Juechen was quite confident when it came to Lu Heng.

He firmly believes that the Heavenly Demon Lord, whose origins are unknown, can easily defeat the jinx that is chasing after all the demons.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at (n)ov(e)l/bin(.)com
