Chapter 271: Backed Down, Backed Down

Inside the desolate village, Lu Heng smiled and talked with the children, comforting their emotions.

Meanwhile, in the wilderness, five hundred miles away from this place, in a mountain stream, a black demon qi suddenly burst out from the creek and turned into a thin scholar's figure under the moonlight.

It was none other than Xiao Juechen, one of the Four Elders who had previously escaped from the desolate village.

After revealing himself, Xiao Juechen still felt somewhat uneasy and nervously looked around before muttering in a low voice.

"It seems that the Wolf God didn't follow along..."

In the shadow behind Xiao Juechen, a half-rotten head slowly emerged.

This head was half-rotten, with only one-third of its face intact. Now it emerged from Xiao Juechen's shadow, looked around and snorted.

"It seems he has gone to pursue the Heavenly Demon Lord... Ha... You are lucky this time. A stronger demon is helping you out, otherwise you wouldn't have a chance to escape."

"Although you have escaped now, you have sacrificed a powerful demon... Haha... You were hoping that this Heavenly Demon Lord would join you and help you deal with Emperor Yan and Lianshan Jing, right? But now it's just like pouring water into a bamboo basket, your predicament remains unsolved... Hahaha..."

The tone of the rotten head was full of sarcasm.

In normal times, Xiao Juechen might have been able to ignore such a tone.

But at this moment, having just escaped from a desperate situation and in a bad mood, the sarcastic voice of the rotten head sounded extremely jarring.

Xiao Juechen suddenly kicked the rotten head behind him and said, cursing.

"Shut up!"

In the moonlight, Xiao Juechen's kick was so fast that it couldn't be seen clearly. Even cultivators of the same level would find it difficult to avoid at such a close distance.

However, the rotten head that emerged from the shadow smirked and instantly shifted, avoiding Xiao Juechen's kick.

Continue to mock.

"You're getting anxious? Aren't you the famous Smiling-face Demon in the Green Hell Cave? Where's your composure? I can't see even a hint of it."

"You can't even bear a little sneer, with such a poor temperament, how can you deserve to be called a senior or ancestor?" ALL new chapters on nov(e)lbin(.)com

However, this matter needs to be addressed after the children have calmed down.

Before that, the wizards need to pacify the children's hearts and help them gradually integrate into humanity.

As for the parents of these children... not to mention that these children have never seen their parents from birth, and they don't know their names and surnames.

Even if we knew, their parents was probably eaten by the demons long ago.

After all, the demons don't like meat that's too old.

As for the detailed experience of these children in the Silent Creek, Lu Heng didn't inquire, but the young boy Shen Wuyou talked with the children all night.

It wasn't until Lu Heng set off in the morning that he followed along with a gloomy mood.

They walked a long way out, and the city of Zhaoguang fell far behind. Shen Wuyou still had a drooping and powerless head.

As they passed a bend in the river, Lu Heng smiled and spoke.

"Wuyou, are you worried about your sister?"

The young boy was stunned for a moment before he snapped out of his reverie, only to see Lu Heng smiling at him.

Shen Wuyou quickly shook his head and said, "To answer Father's question, Wuyou is not worried about his sister, but...Wuyou only feels unhappy in his heart."

"Oh? You feel unhappy? Why?" asked Lu Heng. "Is it because of those children who were raised in the Green Hell Cave?"

The young boy nodded heavily and said, "These demons are so cruel. Inside the Green Hell Cave, they breed 100,000 live humans for sustenance... Maybe even as we speak, someone is being eaten by those monsters."

At this point, the young boy's expression became sad.

Lu Heng smiled and said, "That's why we must destroy the Green Hell Cave and save those mortal beings who are being bred there."

"But Father, shouldn't we be going to the Floating Jade Mountain? If we go to the Floating Jade Mountain, we can meet that demon Xiao Juechen, and he will take you to the Green Hell Cave. This way, Father can quickly exterminate the monsters in the Green Hell Cave and save those victims..."

The young boy's words made Lu Heng suddenly realize something.

"So it was my fault for not immediately going to slay the demons... Hahaha..."

Shaking his head with a smile, Lu Heng said, "While it is important to meet Xiao Juechen at the Floating Jade Mountain, going to the Luwu Mountain is also a major affair."

"Perhaps the envoy sent by the Green Hell Cave to negotiate with us is waiting for us on the road ahead. If we go directly to the Floating Jade Mountain, we might miss this messenger and lose the chance to negotiate with the Green Hell Cave."

"Even if I plunge into the Green Hell Cave, what can I do without rescuing your sister? When the demons use your sister to threaten me, should I save her or not?"
