Chapter 316: Common Knowledge of Evil Ways
Crossing through the wilderness, Lu Heng and his companions arrived at a plain covered with flowers and grass.
Here, flowers and grass are fragrant, and butterflies dance elegantly. Not far away is a crystal-clear small lake, and in the distance, you can see the snowy mountains and a huge gateway that seems to lead directly to the sky.
If an uninformed person were to come here, they would be afraid they had arrived at a fairyland on earth.
After all, there is not even a trace of evil or demonic energy here, which is unimaginable compared to the dense demonic energy inside the Green Hell Cave.
From a distance, Lu Heng and his companions saw a wooden house by the lake.
The wooden house has an exquisite design and is built by the lake. There is a small terrace on the lake surface at the back, and the front is covered with blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies. It is truly a beautiful and enjoyable sight.
Upon seeing the wooden house, Xiao Juechen took a deep breath and formed a seal with one hand, instantly dispelling the demonic energy and erasing any demonic features.
Even Lu Heng, who is extremely sensitive to demonic energy, can no longer sense any demonic energy in Xiao Juechen's body.
This initially weak-looking demon has truly become just an ordinary person now.
Seeing Lu Heng's great amazement, Xiao Juechen smiled proudly and said, "This is the technique of concealing energy that the Demon Lord inherited from ancient times. It is exquisite and can conceal demonic energy that is hard for outsiders to detect."
"It is precisely because of the extraordinary technique of hiding our presence with our unparalleled skills that we were able to silently establish a great foundation in this demonic land of the Southeast."
As he spoke, Xiao Juechen looked at Lu Heng and the two demonic cultivators behind him, who were covered in evil death qi almost to the extent of having 'I am a bad person' written on their foreheads, and said somewhat apologetically.
"Since the Evil Lord has no intention to let the Wolf God's daughter know about the true situation of this place..."
Xiao Juechen didn't continue with the rest of the words.
But Lu Heng understood its meaning and smiled, saying, "Brother Xiao, rest assured, I know how to handle this.
After speaking, Lu Heng waved his sleeves, and directly dispersed the evil death qi that was taken from the Requiem Seal on the three of them.
However, while dispelling the evil death qi, Lu Heng directly activated the wish power in his body that had not been used for a long time, and attached it to the three of them.
In an instant, Lu Heng and the other two, who were originally covered in evil death qi, not only got rid of the death qi, but also became sacred and majestic, just like the gods in legends, high above all.
If not for encountering and receiving the assistance of the Evil Lord, then speaking strictly, that woman in the red dress, Lian Cangqing, would have been an insurmountable obstacle.
It seems that this time, it was Heaven's will that the Green Hell Cave would receive the Dragon Soul, as everything went so smoothly for them.
Amidst such joyous celebration, Xiao Juechen led Lu Heng and the others to the wooden cabin by the lake.
In the nearby grassland, there were several human cultivators who were not under the influence of evil demons. They were responsible for guarding the little girl in the wooden cabin and obeying orders.
Lu Heng also didn't sense any demonic energy from these cultivators. He didn't know whether they were using a technique to conceal their energy or if they simply were not demons to begin with.
Lianshan Jing had previously told Lu Heng that among the living, there were many righteous cultivators who, for various reasons, became minions of the Green Hell Cave and remained hidden in the Fire Pass Country to gather information for the demons.
Lu Heng was not surprised that these cultivators guarding the wooden cabin were probably true human cultivators, even if they were not demons.
After all, traitors were difficult to completely eradicate unless it was a wizard who cultivated the path of incense and divine way.
Not paying attention to these cultivators who were not under the influence of evil demons, Lu Heng followed Xiao Juechen towards the wooden cabin. Along the way, none of the cultivators they encountered dared to step forward and stop them.
Without any obstacle, Lu Heng and his companions arrived at the wooden cabin and found the little girl who was meditating on a small observation deck by the lake.
The little girl opened her eyes and looked surprised upon sensing someone approaching.
"Uncle Xiao, who are these people?"
The little girl's curious gaze shifted between Lu Heng and his two companions.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "My name is Huo Feng, the god of the Weak Water River. I was once indebted to the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain, and I have come to repay my debt."
After Lu Heng finished speaking, the little girl suddenly stood up with excitement.
"You... You know my dad?"
Lu Heng smiled slightly and said, "Several years ago, when the Wolf God was traveling outside the Hanyu Mountain, he gave me some guidance when he passed by the Weak Water River. Therefore, when I learned that the daughter of the Wolf God was stranded here, I came specifically to protect the little goddess and send you back to Hanyu Mountain to reunite with your father."
Lu Heng casually spun a messy lie.
Although no one present had heard of Weak Water before, Lu Heng's powerful divine aura made his words convincing.
After he spoke, Xiao Juechen couldn't help but admire him and secretly held up his thumb in praise.
Truly a giant figure in the demonic path, this lie was so well woven that there was simply no loophole.
