Chapter 297: The Abandoned Water Mansion for Many Years

Within the Luwu Mountain, the lake water is clear and the mountain breeze is cool.

Lu Heng, dressed in white, stood at the edge of the lake and watched as Xiao Ai and the little boy emerged from the water, one after the other. He smiled and said,

"Have you found anything?"

Xiao Ai shook her head and said, "The Water Mansion is empty and desolate, there isn't even a piece of cloth or a chair left. It has long been abandoned."

The little boy had a disappointed expression on his face, as if he had been greatly affected, and looked nothing like his previous happy and excited self when he returned home.

Lu Heng was somewhat surprised and asked, "Wuyou?"

The little boy hesitated and glanced at Xiao Ai beside him, then said, "Daddy, Sister Xiao Ai said... she said that this Water Mansion in the lake has been abandoned for at least a hundred years, it couldn't have been the place where my mother and I lived."

"But I remember clearly that this was indeed the home where my sister, my mother and I lived. It's just that after we left for some time, it became dilapidated..."

The little boy's narrative made Lu Heng slightly surprised.

He looked at Xiao Ai beside him and saw her shaking her head silently.

Lu Heng understood some of it, but in the face of the disappointed little boy, he still kindly said, "Perhaps Xiao Ai got it wrong... Anyway, since you have already been here, we should move on to the next place. Whether the Water Mansion in the lake is abandoned or not, it doesn't really matter."

Lu Heng's words left the little boy stunned.

"Daddy... Daddy, won't you stay for a few more days?"

He quickly explained, "Although the house is a bit old, if Wuyou cleans it up properly, it will be habitable in no time. Wuyou also wants to have a good talk with dad about how we used to live before..."

"Daddy... Daddy, can we stay for a few more days?"

The little boy pleaded pitifully.

Lu Heng sighed and said, "Although I would also like to stay a few more days, it's not a time for a leisurely vacation now."

But after all, the sword was wielded by Lu Heng, so he knew where the sword qi ultimately fell.

Therefore, Lu Heng rode on the black cloud and, accompanied by Xiao Ai and Shen Wuyou, headed directly across the Fire Pass Country and towards the swamp where a faint mist of blood floated.

The earth rapidly retreated beneath their feet.

But in the far distance, there were continuous, sprawling mountains that obscured the existence of the horizon.

It was quite apparent that this world could actually be flat...

Standing high in the sky, overlooking the mountains, rivers and streams on the ground, Lu Heng felt a sigh escape his heart.

In fact, he had always been curious about the true face of this world and had the idea of flying out beyond the heavens to take a closer look at what this land really looked like.

However, every time this idea arose in his mind, a sudden feeling of fear and trepidation would sweep through Lu Heng's heart, as though he was treading upon an extremely perilous path.

Therefore, Lu Heng had always deliberately restrained himself from pondering on this matter.

The intuition of a cultivator is often very accurate.

He would feel that kind of palpitation in his heart, and clearly understand that the true aspect of this world beyond is not something that he, in his present state, could spy upon.

This seemingly savage and primitive world is actually fraught with countless mysteries and dangers.

Lu Heng held this in awe and would never become arrogant and boastful, even though he possessed two deadly weapons - the Heavenly Thunder Sword and the Requiem Seal. He knew that merely wielding them didn't make him invincible.

However, Shen Wuyou and Xiao Ai, both being still young, clearly didn't comprehend Lu Heng's musings.

The little boy stood atop the roiling clouds of calamity and gazed in amazement as the earth below rapidly receded from view.

Although it was not the first time that his father had taken him flying, the feeling of looking down upon all the living beings from atop the clouds still made him feel incredibly exhilarated and novel.

Especially since the clouds beneath their feet were not ordinary clouds, but the calamitous clouds capable of bringing forth heavenly punishment.

Although he knew that his father had control over the calamitous clouds, the little boy still felt uneasy standing on them, fearing that his feet upon the calamitous clouds might bring down divine punishment upon him.

For any living being, even a single wisp of calamitous aura is enough to stir up the deepest fear and trepidation within their souls.

And below, in the desolate wilderness, countless demons and monsters, upon seeing the calamitous clouds flashing across the sky and sensing the overwhelmingly terrifying aura, all trembled in fear, thinking that they had done something wrong to have incurred divine punishment.
