Chapter 264: The Purpose of the Green Hell Cave
To be honest, after listening to Xiao Juechen's seemingly exaggerated but actually truthful account, Lu Heng was a bit bewildered.
Because even he himself had not realized - "So in the eyes of others, I look that impressive?"
But the subsequent question that followed was, how could the Green Hell Cave have such a deep understanding of him, Lu Heng, to the point of finding out about his possible acquaintance with Candle Dragon... So why haven't these group of monsters fled yet?
Since the monsters of the Green Hell Cave have such a deep understanding of Lu Heng and are so afraid of him, shouldn't they immediately run away and stay far away from Hanyu Mountain?
But in the past five years, not only have the monsters of the Green Hell Cave not fled, they have even been wreaking havoc in the wilderness and engaging in fierce battles with the wizards of the Fire Pass Country, being extremely arrogant.
There was absolutely no sign of fear towards Lu Heng.
So tonight, when he heard from Xiao Juechen that the monsters of the Green Hell Cave feared and dreaded him so much, Lu Heng found it difficult to comprehend.
So he took the opportunity to ask.ALL new chapters on nov(e)lbin(.)com
However, after Lu Heng asked this question, Xiao Juechen's heart sank and he had a foreboding feeling.
Oh no, the master, the Heavenly Demon Lord, is planning to run away.
The Heavenly Demon Lord's reaction was exactly the same as the foreign devils it had encountered before.
At first, they all held a casual attitude towards Hanyu Mountain's Wolf God and thought that the so-called Wolf God was nothing to fear. However, after they learned about the true terror of the Wolf God, they were all scared and came up with excuses to run away and fled far away from the Fire Pass Country.
Is the Heavenly Demon Lord also planning to run away?
Does it not want to help eliminate the jinx anymore?
Realizing this, Xiao Juechen suddenly became anxious.
Although the evil demons encountered before were powerful, the strongest one was only on par with it. Whether they ran away or not, it was a bit regrettable at most.
But the Heavenly Demon Lord in front of us cannot be let go so easily.
The demon lords at the level of the cave master are definitely the top combat power that the Green Hell Cave needs most.
One hundred thousand living people as blood food... raised like livestock...
The Green Hell Cave has been planting seeds in human cities all along, it turns out that this is what they were after.
If Lu Heng hadn't intervened in Fu Shan City at the time and allowed the second son of the Wu family to gain power, the Wu clan would have undoubtedly become a source of living blood for the Green Hell Cave in the future.
Moreover, after several decades of operation, they have raised a number of one hundred thousand... Hmph... The Green Hell Cave really has a big ambition.
Lu Heng sneered inwardly, but remained calm on the surface, waiting for Xiao Juechen to continue his narrative.
Xiao Juechen didn't beat around the bush and continued, 'The reason for having such an ambitious plan is to wait for an opportunity.'
Xiao Juechen looked at Lu Heng and said, "Decades ago, the Cave Master already foresaw that a precious treasure would reappear in the Fire Pass Country. This treasure has the power to shake the world, and its might is incomprehensible. It is truly a top-tier divine object in the world."
"If we can get it, we might be able to glimpse the secrets of eternal life and transcendence!"
When Xiao Juechen mentioned this, his expression turned serious, and Lu Heng couldn't help but feel a slight change in his heart.
"Eternal life and transcendence?"
In this world, lifespan is a huge obstacle that cultivators find difficult to overcome.
Even the ancient divine beasts with long lifespans can only live for so long before eventually growing old and dying.
Ordinary humans, let alone those who have condensed the five senses and transformed the three flowers atop the head, would find it very difficult to live for over a thousand years.
Beings like Elder Tao, who have lived for three thousand years, could never achieve that without some kind of special opportunity.
Li Ju, the senior priest of the Wind Strike Department, is only eight hundred years old, but already the oldest among the nine priestly departments of the Li Tribe.
Although demon cultivators have much longer lifespans compared to humans, a thousand-year-old demon is already considered a top-notch monster. Those who can live for two or three thousand years are rare and exceptional ones among the top innate beings.
So, never mind immortality, even techniques that can extend lifespan are a huge temptation for cultivators.
Yet Xiao Juechen, who was present, claimed that there's a secret of achieving immortality in the Fire Pass Country?
Lu Heng asked with a serious expression, 'So in order to compete for this secret, did the Lord of All Demons establish the Green Hell Cave, accumulate strength, and plan to defeat the wizards of the Fire Pass Country and seize the treasure by relying on the power accumulated for many years when the extraordinary treasure is presented?'
