Chapter 264: The Purpose of the Green Hell Cave

Chapter 264: The Purpose of the Green Hell Cave

To be honest, after listening to Xiao Juechen's seemingly exaggerated but actually truthful account, Lu Heng was a bit bewildered.

Because even he himself had not realized - "So in the eyes of others, I look that impressive?"

But the subsequent question that followed was, how could the Green Hell Cave have such a deep understanding of him, Lu Heng, to the point of finding out about his possible acquaintance with Candle Dragon... So why haven't these group of monsters fled yet?

Since the monsters of the Green Hell Cave have such a deep understanding of Lu Heng and are so afraid of him, shouldn't they immediately run away and stay far away from Hanyu Mountain?

But in the past five years, not only have the monsters of the Green Hell Cave not fled, they have even been wreaking havoc in the wilderness and engaging in fierce battles with the wizards of the Fire Pass Country, being extremely arrogant.

There was absolutely no sign of fear towards Lu Heng.

So tonight, when he heard from Xiao Juechen that the monsters of the Green Hell Cave feared and dreaded him so much, Lu Heng found it difficult to comprehend.

So he took the opportunity to ask.

However, after Lu Heng asked this question, Xiao Juechen's heart sank and he had a foreboding feeling.

Oh no, the master, the Heavenly Demon Lord, is planning to run away.

The Heavenly Demon Lord's reaction was exactly the same as the foreign devils it had encountered before.

At first, they all held a casual attitude towards Hanyu Mountain's Wolf God and thought that the so-called Wolf God was nothing to fear. However, after they learned about the true terror of the Wolf God, they were all scared and came up with excuses to run away and fled far away from the Fire Pass Country.

Is the Heavenly Demon Lord also planning to run away?

Does it not want to help eliminate the jinx anymore?

Realizing this, Xiao Juechen suddenly became anxious.

Although the evil demons encountered before were powerful, the strongest one was only on par with it. Whether they ran away or not, it was a bit regrettable at most.

But the Heavenly Demon Lord in front of us cannot be let go so easily.

The demon lords at the level of the cave master are definitely the top combat power that the Green Hell Cave needs most.

If we can win him over, even if he only helps us when necessary, it is extremely important and we cannot let him go.

Especially now, many evil demons present may be in conflict with the jinx. If the conflict is not properly resolved, and it escalates, the consequences could be much more severe if it attracts the nearby Wolf God.

Thinking of this, Xiao Juechen gritted his teeth and decided to reveal some of the secrets.

It set up a formation again, completely isolating itself from the outside world, just like the Heavenly Demon Lord. The magic formation set up this time is a complex one, with three levels inside and outside, in addition to the previous level, making a total of seven levels!

After completing all of this, Xiao Juechen then turned to the Heavenly Demon Lord in front of him, with a serious expression and said:

"This is a secret in the Green Hell Cave. Only the cave master and the Four Elders, as well as the Three Demons and eight others, are aware of it. In theory, it should not be disclosed to outsiders. However, the Heavenly Demon Lord has extraordinary strength and has been helping us out, despite not being a member of the Green Hell Cave. Nevertheless, we share a brotherly bond."

"Now I take the liberty of informing the Heavenly Demon Lord about this matter, so that he may know that I, as a member of the Green Hell Cave, am secretly making a big move!"

Xiao Juechen had a solemn expression and his actions were even more exaggerated, infecting Lu Heng who also couldn't help but react with a serious expression and nodded in agreement.

"Please teach me."

He really didn't expect that he could extract the secrets of the Green Hell Cave so easily.

Although he felt like laughing inwardly, Lu Heng kept a serious expression on his face, giving enough face to the devil in front of him and making the other party feel respected.

Xiao Juechen said, "Since the late emperor Lianshan Kui of the Fire Pass Country passed away, we, the Green Hell Cave, have been lurking within the territory of the Fire Pass Country, recruiting allies from the dark side and planting secret nails in the major cities of humans. Moreover, we are controlling the behavior of our own demons and prioritizing secrecy."

"Why is the demon path so prosperous within the Fire Pass Country? Why are there so many demons? It is because the Green Hell Cave is there to deter and regulate the demons, restrain them from killing each other, and establish the rules that everyone must follow, avoiding internal struggles within the demon path."

"Under the control and management of the brilliant cave master, as well as the cooperation of our many inside sources placed in human cities by the Green Hell Cave, the number of live humans we have bred within the Green Hell Cave has exceeded 100,000! We have no lack of blood food!"

Xiao Juechen said with great pride, "This feat is worthy of commendation even if we look at it from a nationwide perspective!"

"It is precisely because there is no shortage of blood food, and we control and avoid internal conflicts among our own kind, that the demon path within the Fire Pass Country can flourish like this!"

"I can say without exaggeration that within the Fire Pass Country, the Green Hell Cave, represents the backbone of the demon path and has determined the direction of this land!"

"Fire Lord Lianshan Jing is just a surface-level Lord. In the shadows, the influence of my Green Hell Cave is no weaker than hers!"

Xiao Juechen spoke with great pride, which caused Lu Heng's gaze to turn slightly cold.

One hundred thousand living people as blood food... raised like livestock...

The Green Hell Cave has been planting seeds in human cities all along, it turns out that this is what they were after.

If Lu Heng hadn't intervened in Fu Shan City at the time and allowed the second son of the Wu family to gain power, the Wu clan would have undoubtedly become a source of living blood for the Green Hell Cave in the future.

Moreover, after several decades of operation, they have raised a number of one hundred thousand... Hmph... The Green Hell Cave really has a big ambition.

Lu Heng sneered inwardly, but remained calm on the surface, waiting for Xiao Juechen to continue his narrative.

Xiao Juechen didn't beat around the bush and continued, 'The reason for having such an ambitious plan is to wait for an opportunity.'

Xiao Juechen looked at Lu Heng and said, "Decades ago, the Cave Master already foresaw that a precious treasure would reappear in the Fire Pass Country. This treasure has the power to shake the world, and its might is incomprehensible. It is truly a top-tier divine object in the world."

"If we can get it, we might be able to glimpse the secrets of eternal life and transcendence!"

When Xiao Juechen mentioned this, his expression turned serious, and Lu Heng couldn't help but feel a slight change in his heart.

"Eternal life and transcendence?"

In this world, lifespan is a huge obstacle that cultivators find difficult to overcome.

Even the ancient divine beasts with long lifespans can only live for so long before eventually growing old and dying.

Ordinary humans, let alone those who have condensed the five senses and transformed the three flowers atop the head, would find it very difficult to live for over a thousand years.

Beings like Elder Tao, who have lived for three thousand years, could never achieve that without some kind of special opportunity.

Li Ju, the senior priest of the Wind Strike Department, is only eight hundred years old, but already the oldest among the nine priestly departments of the Li Tribe.

Although demon cultivators have much longer lifespans compared to humans, a thousand-year-old demon is already considered a top-notch monster. Those who can live for two or three thousand years are rare and exceptional ones among the top innate beings.

So, never mind immortality, even techniques that can extend lifespan are a huge temptation for cultivators.

Yet Xiao Juechen, who was present, claimed that there's a secret of achieving immortality in the Fire Pass Country?

Lu Heng asked with a serious expression, 'So in order to compete for this secret, did the Lord of All Demons establish the Green Hell Cave, accumulate strength, and plan to defeat the wizards of the Fire Pass Country and seize the treasure by relying on the power accumulated for many years when the extraordinary treasure is presented?'
