Chapter 265: Did You Bring the Wolf God Here?
Xiao Juechen felt relieved by Lu Heng's inquiry.
Sure enough, no one can control the temptation of immortality.
Even the Heavenly Demon Lord himself cannot do it.
Seeing as Lu Heng took the bait, Xiao Juechen felt much more relaxed and nodded with a smile, saying, "Indeed."
"Within the Fire Pass Country, Emperor Yan and Lianshan Jing are both powerful, and the warlocks of the cities are skilled in controlling the divine cauldrons. Although the territory of Fire Pass Country in the southeast is not large, it is known as the land of the ultimate demons, and is considered the most difficult place for dark forces to make a stand."
"When the treasured object appeared, the warlocks of Fire Pass Country had an advantage and a great chance to seize it."
"That's why the cave master was lurking in Fire Pass Country for decades, biding his time, accumulating strength, waiting for the day when the precious treasure would appear, so that he would have enough power to fight against Emperor Yan, Lianshan Jing, and the warlocks under their command for the ancient relic."
Xiao Juechen had reached his limit in words at this point.
Although no more information was given about the treasure, the mere mention of eternal life was already enough.
Lu Heng thought for a moment and then said, "But the precious treasure has not yet appeared, and you have already been discovered by Fire Pass Country. You have been fighting with Emperor Yan, Lianshan Jing and their warlocks for five years...even though the danger of being discovered by the Wolf God is ever-present. Could it be that the treasure is about to emerge?"
Lu Heng's speculation made Xiao Juechen nod and acknowledge the matter.
"That's right, exactly so."
Xiao Juechen said, "It won't be long until the precious treasure appears. At this critical juncture, even if it means inviting the enmity of the Wolf God, we have no other choice but to move forward."
"Besides, we at Green Hell Cave recently obtained a great opportunity, which might enable me to turn the tables and turn the Wolf God from foe to friend...or at least prevent him from targeting us for a short time."ALL new chapters on nov(e)lbin(.)com
With great confidence, Xiao Juechen teased, but didn't disclose what kind of opportunity he obtained in the Green Hell Cave.
However, Lu Heng knew very well that this referred to nothing but Shen Wuyu, the daughter of the Wolf God who they brought to the cave.
Lu Heng sighed inwardly, but his face remained calm.
He smiled and said, "Did brother Juechen share these secrets with me to invite me into the group?"
However, Lu Heng and Xiao Juechen were conversing in a isolated formation, so these subordinates naturally dare not disturb them.
Now that Xiao Juechen has removed the magic formation, the subordinates hurriedly approached and reported.
"Master! The demonic spirits have been inspected, and there are no righteous people hiding among them. The Fierce Demon Feast can begin."
Xiao Juechen nodded in satisfaction, then looked down at the demonic spirits surrounding them and smiled.
"In that case, let's get started. Serve the main course first and let everyone have their fill."
"Understood!" The demonic spirits obeyed and left to carry out the orders.
Lu Heng furrowed his brows and asked, "May I ask, Brother Juechen, what kind of dish is this main course?"
Xiao Juechen chuckled, feeling quite proud. "For this Fierce Demon Feast, I received the approval of the cave master and specially acquired twenty young boys and twenty young girls to entertain the crowd."
"They are all fair-skinned and delicately raised young children, aged only eight years old, which is considered the most delicious age for human children."
"Even as a humble person like myself, I can't always indulge in such fine cuisine. Today, with the arrival of the Evil Lord, we will present the most delicious portions of these young boys and girls to him... I wonder which part the Evil Lord will enjoy?"
Xiao Juechen smiled and spoke, fully demonstrating his goodwill.
However, the words it spoke caused Lu Heng's gaze to turn cold.
Xiao Ai, who was standing behind Lu Heng, also trembled and instinctively took a step forward as well.
Eight years old... young boys and girls... being offered to demons...
Despite being in her 16 years old, the appearance of the little girl seemed to have been frozen at the age of ten. She stared coldly at Xiao Juechen in front of her, took a deep breath, and then lowered her head, suppressing the anger in her heart.
Lu Heng noticed the unusual movement of Xiao Ai behind him and let out a slight sigh in his heart.
Then, he turned to Xiao Juechen and earnestly asked, "May I ask, brother Juechen, how do you consume these young boys and girls? Do you kill them first and then bring them to you? Or do you kill them in public?"
Xiao Juechen laughed heartily and said, "Of course, we kill them in public... The fear they show before they die makes their meat more delicious and their souls sweeter."
"This time, I have brought the best chef under my command. They are not ordinary demons. They have a unique understanding of how to consume live humans."
