Chapter 393: Demonic Seeds of the Dao Heart (1)

Above the icy lake, snowflakes float and fall scattered in the air.

After hearing Lu Heng's refusal, the two cultivators were slightly taken aback, never anticipating that there could be someone in this world who would decline the invitation of the Human Emperor to attend the banquet.

However, considering the various mysterious legends surrounding the Wolf God before them, as well as the fact that the Wolf God had subdued and eradicated ancient demons that even troubled the esteemed Human Emperor, the refusal to attend the banquet hosted by the Human Emperor seemed somewhat acceptable.

After all, this Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain is among the unparalleled top beings in the mortal realm.

The two cultivators exchanged a glance, both of them wearing a wry smile as they respectfully bowed to Lu Heng and spoke in unison, "In that case, my brother and I shall not disturb the tranquility of the esteemed Wolf God."

"However, when my brother and I set out, the Human Emperor Majesty expressed that if the Wolf God is unable to attend the banquet this time, we should leave the Floating Light Boat behind. Whenever the Wolf God finds the time, they can directly sail the Floating Light Boat to the Human Emperor Palace, where His Majesty will patiently await the arrival of the Wolf God in the palace."

With that, the cultivator in the green attire took out a palm-sized green jade boat and respectfully presented it to Lu Heng.

On the terrace, Lu Heng looked somewhat taken aback as he watched the green jade boat flying towards him.

"This… the Floating Light Boat is the cherished treasure of the Human Emperor Palace. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to leave it with me?"

Lu Heng felt a bit uneasy.

Although the Floating Light Boat can only travel to the Human Emperor Palace and cannot journey to other places.

However, the constant darting shadows of the "Floating Light Shadows" are a treasure of unparalleled speed in the world, surpassing any other precious item. It is the exceedingly valuable and long-standing treasure of the Human Emperor Palace.

The cultivator in green robes, however, said, "The Wolf God has exaggerated. Your Majesty once said that the Floating Light Boat is merely a trivial object. If the Wolf God likes it, it shall be gifted to the Wolf God… Well, this junior will no longer disturb the tranquility of the Wolf God. I shall take my leave."

After finishing their words, the two cultivators in green and purple once again bowed respectfully to Lu Heng and transformed into streaks of light, departing.

On the frozen ice lake, only the figures of Lu Heng and Xiao Ai remained.

Holding this palm-sized green jade boat, Lu Heng let out a sigh and said, "This Human Emperor is quite an extraordinary individual."

If the other party presents such a high-level treasure, even if Lu Heng currently doesn't have the time to visit the Human Emperor Palace, sooner or later he will have to pay a visit. After all, such an important treasure cannot be held in his hands forever; it is only a matter of time before it is returned to its rightful owner.

Shaking his head, Lu Heng said, "Let it be, let's go after Sun Yan first. Once we have retrieved Sun Yan, we will pay a visit to the Human Emperor Palace to meet this sovereign of the realm."

Looking up at the night sky, Lu Heng sighed and said, "I wonder how Sun Yan, that monkey, is faring now…"

Lu Heng couldn't help but feel concerned about this lazy, stinky monkey in his heart.

While Lu Heng was worrying about Sun Yan, in the wilderness, less than three hundred miles in a straight line from this icy lake, a small village lit up with campfires amidst the snowy landscape.

The freezing snowflakes silently fell upon the village, causing the snow on the ground and rooftops to grow thicker. Even though the campfire in the center of the village burned brightly, it was unable to dispel the coldness within the village.

The slender young boy, dressed in thin clothes, silently walked through this remote village. In the frigid winter world of ice and snow, the meager clothing on the boy's body stood out in stark contrast.

Within the thatched cottages and tile-roofed houses on either side, pairs upon pairs of eyes looked at him with awe and fear, yet no one dared to speak a word.

Because those villagers who dared to speak have been gradually dragged out and slaughtered over the past two days. Now, even the most innocent and ignorant children among the surviving villagers know they should keep their mouths shut.

And by the young boy's side, there was a blood-red monstrous creature following him.

This monstrous creature is three meters tall, entirely crimson, with a formidable and robust physique that is truly terrifying. Its body is devoid of any clothing, covered instead with repulsive clusters of small, grotesque flesh tumors that spread across its entire form. Additionally, muscular and sinewy arms, resembling a twisted illusion, protrude from beneath its ribs, totaling six hands in total. This scarlet demon appears as if it has crawled out of a nightmarish painting, exuding unparalleled fear.

Walking within the village, the body of the scarlet demon towered even higher than these houses.

In comparison, the already slender figure of the young boy was further accentuated, appearing even more diminutive.

Soon, a monster and a demon arrived at the center of the village. Here, a bonfire blazed, with four enormous wooden stakes erected over the roaring flames. Each stake was strung with a chain of three tenderly roasted human infants, their flesh crispy and succulent.

The thick, elongated sticks pierced directly through the mouths of these children, emerging from their coccyxes. Their abdominal cavities had been hollowed out long ago, with meticulously cleaned organs and salted, coagulated blood now simmering in a large pot nearby.

The Blue Devil, standing tall at a height of three meters, sat lazily on the elevated platform constructed next to the bonfire. Nonchalantly flipping the four sticks resting against the fire, he remarked, "Red Devil, where have you been? Dinner is nearly burned to a crisp."

Sitting by the side, Ning Po glanced up at the blood-stained Red Devil as well as the visibly ethereal, injured young boy standing next to him, but said nothing.

Xie Yunniang, however, furrowed her brow and said, "Red Devil! Have you injured the hostage?" Xie Yunniang descended directly from the elevated platform and landed beside the slender young man. She reached out and placed her hand on his shoulder, briefly sensing his condition. Confirming that Sun Yan's injuries were not severe, only internal bleeding, organ damage, and a few fractured ribs, there was no immediate danger to his life.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief and then turned her gaze towards Red Devil nearby, speaking coldly, "We agreed not to harm this monkey, but you have been mistreating him behind our backs? What has become of our agreement, you scoundrel!" f(r)eenovelkiss

After consuming the portion of blood offered by Mo Ye, as the demons embarked on their journey northward once again, Xie Yunniang put forth the agreement to prohibit any harm or abuse towards Sun Yan, the disciple of the Wolf God.

She worried that the deranged Red-blue Twin Devils would go mad and cause harm to the disciples of the Wolf God. Ning Po also believed that the safety of the hostage should be ensured, so he agreed with Xie Yunniang's opinion. Thus, the four demons established an agreement that while they could tease and play pranks on this white ape during their journey northward, they must not actually harm him.

Xie Yunniang, a cultivator, was filled with anger as she noticed that the slender young man, who was originally frail, had clearly been subjected to a severe beating. Although the injuries sustained by the cultivator were not severe, it still infuriated Xie Yunniang.

However, in the face of Xie Yunniang's questioning, the Red Devil dismissed it with contempt.

With a disdainful snort, it said, "Indeed, we do have that agreement, but this lad took it upon himself to release the bait meant for the four of us. He was caught red-handed, so I simply cannot refrain from administering some punishment, can I?"

Saying this, the Red Devil opened its wide mouth, spitting out two children of approximately seven or eight years old.

In an instant, these two youngsters, upon being expelled, clung to each other in terror, their bodies tainted with the Red Devil's saliva, sticky and emitting a foul stench.

Xie Yunniang witnessed this scene and then glanced at the frail young man behind her, furrowing her brows as she questioned, "Did you release them without authorization?"

Sun Yan looked at her coldly, without uttering a single word.
