I'll Quit Being a God-Novel

Chapter 205: South of the Great Wall

When Chief Minister Yu Huaifeng visited, Lu Heng was sitting at the doorway discussing the Hanhai Department's path of cultivation with the Wu family brothers.

It turned out that the nine branches of the Li Tribe have a different path of cultivation than the commonly known one.

They neither open the door of heaven nor transform the internal energy, but instead only cultivate supernatural powers.

Each person of the Li Tribe has a natural born talent for supernatural powers awakened at birth. Their path of cultivating is to cultivate supernatural powers and refine their physical bodies.

The fleshly body, which cultivators don't value, is refined by them to be like steel and iron, incredibly robust. Each person of the Li Tribe is like a human-shaped fierce beast, and their physical strength alone is terrifying.

Not to mention the unique talents and mysterious abilities possessed by the Li tribe people, which often manifest as an unfathomable power.

There are those who possess the divinatory ability to see through an enemy's next move, those who have the insight to accurately sense the thoughts of their targets, and those who can execute swift and unpredictable movements covering thousands of meters with their godly movement techniques.

However, according to the Wu brothers' account, these seemingly impressive abilities are merely commonplace amongst the nine branches of the Li tribe.

The truly terrifying abilities are those that are shrouded in mystery, such as Wu Ji's "Blood-stained Battle Armor" and Wu Mie's "Indestructible Golden Bones".

It wasn't until Lu Heng's conversation with the two brothers that he realized the true power behind the several thousand people living outside of Hanyu Mountain.

No wonder the population of Li Tribe, a tribe that strong and powerful, has been declining. If each branch could have tens of thousands of people, they would probably become invincible.

And so, when Yu Huaifeng arrived at the other courtyard, the Wolf God, who had now become a pressure on the whole Mermaid Kingdom, was casually sitting on the doorstep, chatting with two muscular men from the Hanhai Department who were standing by the door.

His relaxed smile didn't show any ferocity.

If it weren't for their previous acquaintance, anyone who saw this scene wouldn't have connected this easy-going elegant man in white with the rumored Wolf God…

Seeing Yu Huaifeng approach, Lu Heng smiled and stood up, "Master Yu, has the lord finally agreed to see me?"

Yu Huaifeng smiled awkwardly, "The lord has important matters to deal with and cannot be present. But she has instructed me to greet the Wolf God and take you to visit your friend at the Extreme Hell Prison on her behalf."

Yu Huaifeng spoke nonsense with his eyes open, "I beg forgiveness from the Wolf God for words that were not intentionally spoken by me. The Treasure Conference is approaching and there are many important matters to attend to, which prevents Lord from being able to leave…"

Yu Huaifeng attempted to defend Lord, while Lu Heng smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. After all, national affairs are important. I am grateful that Lord allowed me to visit the Extreme Hell Prison, and I don't expect anything more. When can we depart for the Extreme Hell Prison?"

Lu Heng directly inquired without any delay.

Yu Huaifeng laughed and said, "We can go now… Does the Wolf God need to prepare anything?"

Lu Heng shook his head, "No, let's go."

Saying so, Lu Heng called out in the courtyard, "Xiao Ai, let's go."

In the courtyard, the silver-haired girl with beastly ears hurriedly carried the Heavenly Thunder Sword on her back and followed Lu Heng.

At the same time, Lu Heng's massive white wolf body also emerged.

Lu Heng's primordial spirit transformed into a flash of white light and returned to his physical body. The huge white wolf spoke a few words to the Wu brothers and the arriving Praetorian Guards, leaving them to wait there, before leading Xiao Ai to accompany Yu Huaifeng.

The massive ray once again lifted off the ground, carrying Lu Heng, Xiao Ai, and Yu Huaifeng into the air and over the city.

Behind the ray were three hundred Mermaid Battle Soldiers and ten Mermaid Generals, presenting an even grander scene than when Lu Heng entered the city on that day.

This scene quickly caught the attention of the cultivators in the city.

The news quickly spread that the Wolf God, under the leadership of the Chief Minister, had crossed the Mermaid Kingdom and the Great Underwater Wall to head further south.

"The Chief Minister has gone south with the Wolf God…"

"Could it be true that the Mermaid Kingdom is really going to release the prisoner?"

"It's unlikely… the Mermaid Kingdom is deeply rooted and had even killed the old demon Bi Fang in the past, so why would they be afraid of the Wolf God?"

"Speaking of which, have you realized that the lord of the Mermaid Kingdom hasn't shown up yet? Isn't that unusual? According to reason, she should have met with the Wolf God today, shouldn't she?"

"Could it be that the lord of the Mermaid Kingdom has already reached a secret agreement with the Wolf God?"

"It's also possible that they are planning for war… According to an ancient legend, to determine whether the Mermaid Kingdom is genuinely moving their forces, it all depends on the lord. If the lord of the Mermaid Kingdom is still visible before the enemy arrives, it proves that the Mermaid Kingdom has not used its full strength yet. Only when the lord of the Mermaid Kingdom disappears before the enemy arrives, will the real terror come…"

"Why do you say that? Has the lord of the Mermaid Kingdom disappeared, preparing for some great weapon?"

"That is not clear. Only heard that before the old demon Bi Fang came to kill, the lord of the Mermaid Kingdom also disappeared for several days. When the lord appeared again, with the power of thunder, completely killed the ancient monster Bi Fang in the South Sea…"

"Hmm… so if that's the case, the current lord of the Mermaid Kingdom has been missing for three days… Does that mean that something exciting is about to happen?"

"Well… it's hard to say. Let's just keep watching. This year's Treasure Conference is more lively than any other year!"

The cultivators in the city discussed eagerly, as the Wolf God left the city and subtle changes occurred among the various parties.

But for now, Lu Heng doesn't need to worry about all of this.

Standing on the back of the gigantic ray, he has already crossed the magnificent Great Wall Under the Sea towering 100 meters high, and is heading towards the deeper and more mysterious southern waters.

The further south he goes, the deeper and more profound the seawater becomes.

The ocean floor beneath him continues to extend downward as if it will never end, leading to the sinister and dark abyssal depths.

Beyond the Great Wall Under the Sea, the seawater becomes increasingly cold. As he travels further south, the chill in the water becomes more intense.

Lu Heng can feel that the coldness in the seawater is not a physical sensation.

Due to the temperature of the seawater, there is not much difference compared to the north. However, as one goes further south, it becomes colder, and this eerie chill unexpectedly comes from the heart.

Even cultivators who have achieved success in their training cannot help but feel the chill while in the seawater of the south.

However, one cannot feel this kind of chill on the other side of the vast and magnificent Great Undersea Wall. The huge and magnificent wall seems to completely isolate this eerie chill in the south.

To the north of the Great Wall, the water is filled with sparkling corals and fish. Even in the Mermaid Kingdom, common fish can be seen everywhere in streets and alleys.

But in the southern waters, it is gloomy and lifeless, with no trace of vitality.

Lu Heng and his companions traveled south and could not even see a single swimming fish or seaweed…

On the southern side of the Great Wall under the sea, there is an entirely desolate and lifeless wasteland, barren and vast.
