Lu Heng's inquiry left the little boy bewildered.

As soon as Lu Heng mentioned it, he also thought of this point, causing him to lower his head in disappointment.

Seeing this, Lu Heng smiled faintly and said, "That's why we can't be hasty. We must be fully prepared when we do things. As the saying goes, 'If you don't kill the snake, it will come back to bite you'."

"Dealing with the vicious snakes like those in the Green Hell Cave, one must be fully prepared and strike directly at their vital points, making them unable to resist or move in the slightest."

"Rash impulsivity will never achieve anything worthwhile."

After gently educating the little boy, Lu Heng's group continued to move forward.

This place has already left the territory of Zhaoguang City. Ahead of them, a river flows back into the mountains. The surging river flows between the green mountains and trees on both sides, presenting a beautiful view.

But compared to the scenery, it was the water god standing in the river that was more eye-catching.

When Lu Heng and his group reached the river, Gu Zhou, dressed in divine robes, was standing in the water and bowing with respect.

"The Water God of Pang River, Gu Zhou, pays a visit to the Wolf God."

Lu Heng was slightly surprised and asked, "Why is Madam River God here?"

Gu Zhou smiled faintly and said, "Within the token worn by my son, there is a strand of divine thought that I left behind. When he approached the Pang River, I sensed it and came here early to wait for my senior."

Lu Heng suddenly realized and smiled, "I see... Hahaha... Gu Yan, now that you have met your mother, why not go and pay your respects?"

Lu Heng's words caused the Little Gu eagle, who had long been unable to contain its excitement, to let out an excited cry.

It cried out just like a baby's cry, and flew towards the mother in the river, flying around Gu Zhou happily, flipping up and down in joy.

This scene made Shen Wuyou, who was watching from the side, slightly surprised.

Lu Heng then explained with a smile, "This is none other than Madam Gu Zhou, the Water God of the Pang River, who has been guarding both sides of the Pang River for hundreds of years. Even in the current time when demons run rampant in the Green Hell Cave, no demon dares to be presumptuous on either side of the Pang River."

"Nowadays, the safest place in the Fire Pass Country, except for the surroundings of Hanyu Mountain, is the two banks of the Pang River."

Shen Wuyou hesitated for a moment but quickly caught up.

Although his cultivation was not high enough to walk on water, following behind Lu Heng, he didn't have to worry about accidentally stepping into the river.

After the group stepped into the river, Gu Zhou quickly approached to lead the way. The water parted under their feet, and the group's figures quickly sank into the river.

The frigid waters of the Pang River surged beside them, yet didn't wet the clothes of Lu Heng and the others.

There was an invisible force that separated the river water.

Under the power of the River God, everyone's figures swiftly shuttled through the river. The power, which could shrink them to a tiny size, was exactly the same as the power of the mountain god at Hanyu Mountain where Lu Heng had been.

With such haste, their speed naturally became extremely fast.

Lu Heng and the others were located upstream on the Pang River, quite far from the location of the Water Palace.

However, under the power of the River God, the river water rapidly receded behind them. In less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Heng and the others crossed tens of thousands of miles of waterways and arrived downstream of the Pang River.

This speed is difficult to match, even by cultivators with flying ability, a technique used by advanced martial artists.

Ahead of them was an extremely spacious waterway, with a river surface that was more than a thousand feet wide, and the banks separated from each other by a considerable distance. Within the river, there were surging undercurrents and countless fish swimming around.

A palace under the water appeared before everyone's eyes.

Amid the darting school of fish, the Yaksha water tribe was patrolling back and forth.

However, with Madam River God personally leading the way, no one dared to obstruct them. Led by Gu Zhou, Lu Heng and the others ventured deep into the water palace and entered the immense palace under the water.

Beautiful maidservants respectfully welcomed them, and although there was no grand feast, exquisite food had already been prepared in the side hall.

Xiao Ai, Gu Yan, and Shen Wuyou, who was accompanying them, all stayed in the side hall to rest.

As for Lu Heng, he followed Gu Zhou the River God to the back hall to see the Dark Spring Water, which was infested with ghosts.

And thus disappeared from Xiao Ai's sight.

PS1: Someone suggested I change my translation "Kylin" to "Qilin". Actually, both translations are acceptable, so I won't change it.

PS2: "Lu Ai" is "Xiao Ai", they are the same person. The author wrote "Lu Ai" wanting to say that in order to "miss" the Wolf God (Lu Heng), Xiao Ai changed her name to Lu Ai in the later chapters, although no direct description of this part.
