Chapter 401: The Amiable and Affable Wolf God Lu
The enraged roar of the Red Devil reverberated within this excruciating and disorienting extradimensional realm, disrupting the tranquility with an excruciatingly harsh resonance.
However, Mo Xingzi was utterly preoccupied and had no time to dwell on the atrocious demeanor of the crimson demon, for she found herself ensnared in a similarly overwhelming state of astonishment and trepidation.
In the extradimensional realm that overlooks the various appearances of the mortal realm, Lu Heng, donned in flowing white garments, emerged with an air of self-possession and a gentle smile, appearing behind the crowd. Four ancient swords, emanating a chilling intent, encircled him. Though there was no trace of overt hostility, the mere presence of Lu Heng was enough to instill panic and confusion among the malevolent entities.
Mo Xingzi couldn't help but start to roar.
"I fucking want to know too! The palace master has been studying for years to successfully find the entrance and exit of this extradimensional realm! Moreover, we, using demonic energy as a guide, can move stealthily within this extradimensional realm. Even if righteous cultivators pursue us here, they won't be able to find us!"
"The vast expanse of this extradimensional realm is countless times greater than the earthly land!"
The cognizance of Mo Xingzi completely collapsed at this moment.
Its furious but helpless roars were merely an expression of the tension within its heart.
The ethereal figure of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain, dressed in flowing white robes, materialized and instantaneously crushed any aspirations of resistance harbored by Mo Xingzi.
It was not the opponent's overwhelming momentum, but rather this mysterious and unpredictable technique that was simply unfathomable!

While clad in a white robe, Lu Heng smiled as he observed the flustered expressions of the demons and spoke, "Are you the envoy sent by the Arctic Skyark Palace to receive these demons? It is truly admirable that your palace master has managed to develop a technique for entering the dimensional realm."
"However, the method of entering and exiting this dimensional realm is not an invention of the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace."
"In ancient times, there was a venerable ancient demon known as the Heavenly Demon Lord who pioneered the technique of entering the dimensional realm. Unfortunately, that wicked demon's whereabouts became unknown, and consequently, this technique was lost to history."
In a genial tone, Lu Heng explained with a smile, as if engaging in a pleasant conversation with a close acquaintance, devoid of any intention to harm and completely void of the menacing approach that the demons feared, where each meeting was accompanied by a sweeping strike of the sword.
Upon witnessing Lu Heng's demeanor, the demons' alarm gradually subsided.
Mo Xingzi swallowed her saliva and clenched the sacred flag in her hand. Facing the relentless pursuit of the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain behind her, she spoke, "I am called Mo Xingzi, and I welcome the presence of the Wolf God."
"I'm willing to offer my hands in surrender. Skyark Palace is willing to compensate for the losses suffered in the domain of the Wolf God, doubled if necessary. We only implore the Wolf God to spare our lives and allow us to return alive to face the Palace Lord."
"The Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace, though residing in the Northern realm, has long held an admiration for the Wolf God in the South. It is hoped that the Wolf God can bestow us a favor…"
Mo Xingzi, filled with trepidation, bravely stooped before Lu Heng, beseeching him for mercy.
Lu Heng, with a smile on his face, shook his head and said, "Give me Sun Yan and you may leave. I have no need for any compensation from Skyark Palace, nor will I hold you accountable for the troubles inflicted upon Hanyu Mountain."
The words of Lu Heng relieved all the evil demons, Lu Heng's words brought a sense of relief to all the evil demons.
Mo Xingzi hastily accompanied with a smile, proclaiming, "The magnanimity of the Wolf God is truly admirable."
Saying that, she hastily pushed the unconscious, frail young man towards the Wolf God. Within the strange and ethereal dimension, in a matter of moments, Sun Yan, the White Ape, seemed to have traversed tens of thousands of kilometers of land, yet it also felt as if he had merely flown a mere inch.
In conclusion, he departed from the presence of the evil demons and returned to the front of Lu Heng.
After Lu Heng extended his hand to support the unconscious young man, he conducted a slight sensing and confirmed that this youth was indeed the monkey known as Sun Yan. Without pressing further as to why Sun Yan had forcibly opened the Heaven Door through the infusion of spiritual energy, Lu Heng instead took away the flag tightly clenched in Sun Yan's hand and hurled it towards the evil demons ahead.
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Returning things to their rightful owner."
Mo Xingzi hastily received the ensign and graciously said, "I am much obliged to the Wolf God."
She originally thought that after Lu Heng took Sun Yan away, he would casually destroy this demonic treasure, but she didn't expect that he would actually throw the flag back.
In the heart of Mo Xingzi arose a trace of emotion.
Fortunately, she is a demonic cultivator from the Arctic Skyark Palace, blessed by the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace, rather than an ordinary demonic cultivator. That is why even the notorious Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain in the demonic realm greeted her with a smile.
If she were not from the Arctic Skyark Palace, just an ordinary wandering demonic cultivator, how could she have such a friendly and harmonious conversation with the Wolf God? It is likely that she would have long been slaughtered by the infamous Wolf God…
Mo Xingzi sighed in her heart, and once Lu Heng had verified the safety of Sun Yan, he smiled at the gathering of the wicked demons and cultivators.
"Since the hostage exchange is over, let us settle other accounts. You have slaughtered all the villagers in that small village, treating human lives as worthless. How cruel! You have killed every living soul in the entire village, so it shouldn't be excessive for me to now annihilate all of you, should it?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWithin Lu Heng's faint laughter, the four ancient war swords resounded loudly, sweeping through with a ferocious sword intent.
The complete ancient Sword Formation, suspended above Lu Heng's head.
Just the deployment of an incomplete Sword Formation has already frightened the five wicked demons, leaving them in panic and fear.
Mo Xingzi exclaimed in a mixture of astonishment and anger, "The Wolf God! Didn't you say that you wouldn't mind the chaos caused by them in Hanyu Mountain and would let us go? Why are you going back on your word now?"
The Red-blue Twin Devils even cursed aloud, "The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain is being hypocritical! Untrustworthy! Bah! Untrustworthy!"
Amidst the demons' fearful and angry reproach, the Sword Formation formed by the four war swords has already trapped them within, rendering them incapable of escaping.
Upon witnessing this scene, Lu Heng shook his head faintly and remarked, "I have previously stated that I would not hold you accountable for causing chaos on Hanyu Mountain, but I never said I would disregard your indiscriminate killings."
"When you begin to slaughter mortals, you must be aware that eventually, you too will be slaughtered by others… Each sip and each morsel is bound by a predetermined fate."
"Good and evil will be rewarded, and the heavenly principles will cycle… Of course, if there is no retribution for good and evil, then it's not a problem, for I, Lu Heng, will take care of it."
Within the vast void of the alternate dimension, Lu Heng's smile remained warm and amicable, as he queried, "Before your imminent demise, do any of you have any final words to share?"
In the midst of the Sword Formation, the Red-blue Twin Devils were seized with fear and Xie Yunniang's countenance grew displeased. Ning Po's expression turned to despair, while only Mo Xingzi roared, "Wolf God Lu! You must understand that we all belong to the Arctic Skyark Palace! The Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace has commanded that I must bring them back to Skyark Palace! Are you, by opposing Skyark Palace, implying that you also deny the face of the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace?"
Mo Xingzi's rage prompted a helpless shake of Lu Heng's head, who sighed, "With your utterance, the architectural layout and grandeur of the Skyark Palace seem diminished."
"At the very least, they are innate demon cultivators. Yet, their first thought when encountering difficulties is not to rely on their own strength to overcome obstacles, but to seek support from influential figures and resort to using seniority as a means to oppress others… The notorious reputation of the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace from the Arctic Skyark Palace, yet the disciples it produces turn out to be a group of spineless and irresponsible infants, lacking integrity and courage."
Lu Heng waved his hand and said, "Since you have mentioned the name of the Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace, I, Lu Heng, will grant you some face. However, those who can return to the palace will be nothing but lifeless bodies."
