I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 304: Lu Heng and I Are Sworn Enemies

The Floating Jade Mountain.

Located in a vast and desolate wilderness in the southeast of the Fire Pass Country, there is a huge mountain range with continuous peaks and primitive jungles that block out the sky.

In the mountains live many creatures, including exotic beasts and insects.

Although it is far from the cities inhabited by humans and outside the scope of mortal activities, it still has a considerable reputation.

Because on this mountain, whenever the darkness falls and stars fill the sky, if there are no clouds covering the starlight, a warm jade light will appear on the top of the mountain and gather and flow in the night sky.

Looking from afar, it appears as if a huge and warm jade stone is suspended over the mountains.

Therefore, it is named the Floating Jade Mountain.

However, Lu Heng tonight was unable to witness such a strange sight.

Because when he arrived at the Floating Jade Mountain, it was clouded and there were no stars to be seen. The mountains under the clouds were exceptionally dim and the cold wind was blowing.

However, since this place was a gathering place for demons and monsters, Lu Heng didn't expect to see any beautiful scenery here.

Having landed on the main peak of the Floating Jade Mountain with Xiao Ai and Shen Wuyou, Lu Heng looked around and said:

"Is Xiao Juechen here?"

As he spoke, Lu Heng took out the talisman that was given to him by Xiao Juechen when they parted ways at the Fierce Demon Feast earlier.

In the wilderness, there was originally nothingness.

However, when Lu Heng took out that talisman, demonic energy suddenly appeared all around him, and from far away, two figures emerged from the void.

"Is the master the Heavenly Demon Lord?"

The two black shadows respectfully asked.

Lu Heng looked at the two sudden demons in surprise. With his cultivation, he couldn't find out how these two demons had appeared.

It seems that the formation set up by the Floating Jade Mountain is a thousand times more powerful than the rough formation set up at the Fierce Demon Feast.

In the face of the respectful greeting from the two demons, Lu Heng nodded calmly and said.

"It is I… And what about your master Xiao Juechen? Is he still alive?"

The two demons accompanied by a smile said, "The Heavenly Demon Lord is concerned. Master Xiao Juechen is safe and sound and is currently resting in his cave. We'll lead the way for you."

As they spoke, the two demons stepped aside, and in the void behind them, a semi-transparent portal appeared.

Obviously, this is the entrance to the demon's mansion.

Lu Heng nodded coolly, without saying much to the two demons, and led Xiao Ai and Wuyou directly into the mansion.

The two demons hurried to catch up.

After stepping through the semi-transparent portal, Lu Heng suddenly felt the environment around him change dramatically.

The originally desolate and empty mountains completely disappeared from sight.

What appeared in front of Lu Heng was a massive cavern with spacious surroundings.

On the huge vaulted ceiling hung innumerable stalactites, from which water droplets occasionally fell.

However, unlike typical mountain caves, this cavern didn't seem gloomy and depressing. When the water droplets dripped from the stalactites and fell on the ground, they disappeared immediately without leaving any traces of dampness or moisture.

In this brightly lit cavern, a multitude of rare and exotic greenery were planted, surrounded by lush trees and the soothing sound of flowing water. The scenery was as if one were situated within a tranquil, pastoral wonderland.

If it were not for the strong evil aura in the air, this place would be simply like a utopia, secluded from the world.

As soon as Lu Heng appeared, he heard the exultant voice of Xiao Juechen.

"The Heavenly Demon Lord!"

Following the sound, Lu Heng saw Xiao Juechen in his scholar's robe, standing on the small bridge ahead, bowing to him in greeting.

Beneath the small bridge, the clear river water meandered, with colorful fish swimming within. The river extended deep into the cavern.

Even just the grand scene at the entrance of the cavern was remarkable.

This demon named Xiao Juechen not only dressed as a scholar, but also had excellent taste, able to create such an elegant and otherworldly underground cavern.

It seems that before falling into demonic ways, he must have been a person of refined tastes, rather than a typical demon who enjoys fighting and killing.

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Heng smiled faintly and also returned the greeting with a bow to the front.

"It is truly heartening to see Brother Xiao safe once again."

Xiao Juechen also smiled and said, "We faced many dangers when we parted, fortunately, we both are safe…uh…"

As he was speaking, Xiao Juechen noticed that there was one less young follower beside Lu Heng.

Xiao Juechen's smile slightly faltered, and then he apologized with a hint of regret.

"Evil Lord, please accept our condolences."

This remark caught Lu Heng off guard for a moment, and he only reacted to it afterwards.

During the Fierce Demon Feast, there were three young followers by my side, Gu Yan, Xiao Ai, and Wuyou.

Now that Gu Yan has stayed behind at the Water Palace of Pang River, Lu Heng only has two remaining followers by his side.

Given the situation, Xiao Juechen probably thought that Lu Heng had lost a disciple when he fled that day.

Regarding this, Lu Heng let out a small sigh and said:

"It is all due to my insufficient strength, I couldn't defeat the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain. My disciples suffered calamity only because they were trying to protect me… But as the Heavenly Demon Lord, I remember the grudge of my killed disciples in my heart."

"If there is a chance in the future, I will make sure that the Wolf God pays the price!"

Lu Heng said in a cold and resolute tone, with a frosty killing intent.

Acting as if it's real.

Xiao Juechen hurriedly echoed, with a sorrowful expression that seemed to feel empathetic, but in fact, he was overjoyed in his heart.

Before, [It] was still worried about how to bind the Heavenly Demon Lord on [Its] warship and feared that the allure of the exotic treasure was not strong enough. But now, [It] didn't expect that the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain killed one of the Heavenly Demon Lord's disciples, and the two sides became deadly enemies.

With the vengeful style of the demonic path, how could the Heavenly Demon Lord possibly reconcile with the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain after suffering such a huge loss?

Now even if there's no temptation of exotic treasures, the Heavenly Demon Lord will surely stand with the Green Hell Cave to confront the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain together.

At the thought of this, Xiao Juechen cried out in his heart, "Heaven has assisted me too!"

This is the only good news among many bad news recently.

Hastily, Xiao Juechen said, "Let's quickly welcome the Heavenly Demon Lord into the cave."

"Evil Lord arrived just in time tonight; half an hour ago, his messenger arrived with news that the time of the emergence of a precious treasure is approaching, and he has summoned me back to the lair."

"I originally intended to wait a few more days for the arrival of the Evil Lord, but I didn't expect him to come so soon… Haha… it seems that we can return to the lair together tonight."

Xiao Juechen said, "Currently, the messenger is in the cave. He is General Tiger Dragon, one of the three demon generals occupying the Green Hell Cave, and has long admired the evil lord. Today, I will introduce him."

"Oh? General Tiger Dragon?" Xiao Juechen's words caused a slight stir in Lu Heng's heart.

In the mortal world, the dragon clan is mysterious and unfathomable. Although it can be confirmed that there are cloud dragons in this world that bring rain and maintain the continuous weather patterns of this vast world.

However, the Divine Dragon is elusive. Lu Heng has been in this world for so long, but has never seen a dragon before.

Regarding General Tiger Dragon, one of the three monsters in the Green Hell Cave, Lu Heng was quite curious when he heard about him from Lianshan Jing before, but he didn't expect to encounter him exactly now.

Dragon clan is already rare, and a demonic dragon is even rarer.

Therefore, Lu Heng also smiled and said, "So you are General Tiger Dragon. I have also heard of your great name. Today, it is fortunate to have the pleasure of meeting you through the introduction of Brother Xiao."
