Chapter 312: The Woman Who Is Petty
Facing Lu Heng, the Lord of All Demons had no intention of concealing anything.
After all, the Heavenly Demon Lord is going to participate in the upcoming battle for the appearance of the spiritual treasure. He is an important combat force for the Green Hell Cave, and we must strive to make use of him.
Therefore, when Lu Heng met him, he bluntly inquired about the details, which not only didn't lead to any grievances between them, but even indirectly showed how much Lu Heng cared about the matter.
Facing the inquisitive Lu Heng, the Lord of All Demons spoke.
"Four hundred years ago, my wife Wan Rong was poisoned by the evil creatures that emerged from the Cangwu Abyss, and her body and soul were damaged. She sometimes regained clarity, but sometimes felt confused and disoriented."
"While my cultivation remained stagnant, I could accumulate spiritual power continuously. However, my level of cultivation has been forever stuck at the threshold of the Heaven Door, preventing me even from harmonizing the five elements in my chest."
"Fortunately, although my wife's lifespan was shortened after falling into the demonic path, her cultivation soared. The establishment of the Green Hell Cave also relied on the support of Wan'er behind the scenes."
"Now that the demonic cave has been built and everything is ready, we are just waiting for the day when the exotic treasures appear. The evil soldiers and demons will then attack the capital of the Fire Pass Country, creating an opportunity for us."
"Once we obtain that exotic treasure, we can extend our lifespan and enable my wife Wan Rong to live for another lifetime and advance her cultivation further."
"Then, I will take my wife to the depths of the Cangwu Abyss to settle the score with that evil creature."
Under the bamboo pavilion, the Lord of All Demons spoke quietly about his past experiences, without any strong emotions in his tone.
But this silent and indifferent hatred is even more chilling.
In order to gain the trust of the Heavenly Demon Lord, the Lord of All Demons even revealed this hidden matter.
After listening, Lu Heng hesitated slightly and asked, 'Will that exotic treasure be unearthed in the capital of the Fire Pass Country?'
The Lord of All Demons smiled faintly and said, 'This cannot be told to the Evil Lord… If the Evil Lord wants to know more detailed information, he needs to establish a blood oath with us to truly understand the origin of that exotic treasure.'
Lu Heng smiled and said, 'If the information about the exotic treasure is true, then there is no harm in forming a blood oath. However, the Lord of Demons just said that when the exotic treasure appears, evil soldiers and demon generals will besiege the capital of the Fire Pass Country… At that time, there will surely be rivers of blood, and it is impossible for every evil soldier and demon general to have the qualification to benefit from the longevity of the exotic treasure, right?'
Lu Heng's inquiry made the Lord of All Demons burst into laughter and say:
"Is the Evil Lord worried about becoming a pawn like those evil soldiers and demon generals? If so, there is no need to worry."
"Those group of evil soldiers and demon generals are under my jurisdiction, and they enjoy feasting on human flesh without the worry of being chased and besieged by the righteous path. They have lived a peaceful life of comfort and enjoyment."
"After raising them for decades, now is the time to use them and let them fight for once."
"Moreover, what are these evil soldiers and demon generals anyway? They are just a bunch of cruel and unscrupulous rabble that are extremely difficult to control even for the demonic instincts. They are nothing more than pigs and dogs, how can they be compared to the Evil Lord?"
"And under the Blood League, there are a total of 78 people in the Green Hell Cave that can benefit from the life-extension. But this is only because only 78 are qualified to enjoy such benefits, it doesn't mean that the weird treasure can only benefit 78 people."
"With the power of that weird treasure, even another thirty people would not be too many."
"After all, that weird treasure, regardless of one's level of cultivation, treats everyone equally. It can eliminate the old and stale air from the body and soul, essentially making a person youthful again, equivalent to a new lease on life."
"So, for cultivators like the Evil Lord or for Heaven Door realm cultivators like me, the benefits obtained are the same, without any difference."
The Lord of All Demons smiled and said words that were a huge temptation to all cultivators: "The Evil Lord only needs to establish a blood oath, and even the two disciples by your side can also enjoy the benefits of the treasure."
However, what took the Lord of All Demons by surprise was that after he finished his tempting words to the cultivators, not only did Lu Heng's expression remain unchanged, but even the two disciples behind him also had a calm expression.
They didn't lose their composure despite the immense benefit of being able to live another life.
Upon seeing this scene, the Lord of All Demons sighed in his heart.
It seems that, as Xiao Juechen said, the two disciples by the Heavenly Demon Lord's side are also highly skilled cultivators in the evil path.
Ordinary cultivators, upon hearing that they could live another life, were all excited like madmen, except for that group of long-lived demon cultivators.
Even the long-lived demon cultivators cannot resist such temptation.
However, the two disciples by the Heavenly Demon Lord's side didn't show any frivolity or lack of composure as junior disciples.
No wonder they are the top disciples of the evil cultivators. They were able to engage a skilled cultivator like the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain. The Heavenly Demon Lord's background is even bigger than imagined.
The Lord of All Demons felt emotional and determined to recruit the Heavenly Demon Lord who was in front of him.
Now the situation is murky and difficult. If the Heavenly Demon Lord can lend his assistance, his plan may have a chance of success.
But Lu Heng no longer mentioned the blood oath and that mystical treasure.
He tilted his head and thought for a moment before smiling and speaking.
"I wonder how the situation is outside. Does the Demon Lord not care to take a look? That red-clothed woman, Lian Cangqing, is quite capable. It's better to take a look."
Lu Heng suddenly changed the topic, and the Lord of All Demons no longer insisted on bringing up the matter.
After all, such a big matter certainly needs to be carefully considered.
Besides, he is indeed worried about his wife's condition.
Therefore, after Lu Heng spoke, the Lord of All Demons smiled and let the matter drop.
"Thank you for the concern, Evil Lord. Actually, I have been anxious for a long time."
After speaking, the Lord of All Demons directly extended his hand and made a gesture in the sky. Then, the light in the sky above the bamboo forest dimmed slightly, and a huge image appeared.
It was like a giant projection, projecting the events happening outside of the Floating Jade Mountain onto here.
Under the cold moonlight, Lu Heng and the others could see Lian Cangqing, the woman in red, suddenly frown and coldly look at Lu Heng and others outside the mirror.
Lian Cangqing said, "The Lord of All Demons? You have the audacity to spy on me, but not the courage to come out?"
Just as the woman in red finished speaking, a figure full of evil energy soared out of the Floating Jade Mountain.
The raging and violent demonic energy flaunted itself in the night sky without any concealment. A woman dressed in a purple gown had somewhat empty eyes, but her imposing aura stood tall under the sky like a towering mountain.
Instantly captured the attention of the woman in red.
"Hmm? You are the Lord of All Demons? A woman?" Lian Cangqing frowned and said, "With such strength, you are not considered weak, no wonder you have the courage to boast of being the strongest."
As she spoke, Lian Cangqing waved her hand and released the gigantic dragon that she had been holding tightly, saying,
"But what about the Heavenly Demon Lord now? Why isn't that jerk showing up?"
Lian Cangqing said angrily, "Let that jerk the Heavenly Demon Lord come out. Tonight, I will kill both of you to sacrifice for my rebirth!"
Lian Cangqing's sudden curse not only surprised the Lord of All Demons in the bamboo pavilion, but also left Lu Heng confused.
What happened? Why did this woman suddenly target him again?
Could it be that his use of demonic magic to escape earlier angered this woman, and therefore was put on the death list as well?
If that's the case, then this woman's mind is too small…
