Chapter 256: Discussion of Demons at the Postal Station (Part 2)

Lu Heng's words made the little boy understand immediately.

"Father means that we need to walk slowly so that the demons in the Green Hell Cave will come to us on their own. Using our sister to blackmail Father?"

Lu Heng smiled slightly and said, "Wuyou is indeed intelligent, it is just as you said."

"What do the demons want by taking your sister? Nothing more than to use Xiaoyu to blackmail me, forcing me to reach some kind of agreement with them or to help them do something."

"That's why we are walking in the wilderness now, to wait for your sister."

"When the demons have reached a decision through discussion, there will be demons coming and making demands."

"If we travel directly on the wind and quickly arrive at Luwu Mountain, while the demons in the Green Hell Cave don't know our location, only then can we find your sister."

Lu Heng's words made the little boy suddenly understand.

But later, he became a little scared.

"But...but father, would any demon dare to come before you?"

Although Lu Heng has never shown his abilities in front of the little boy, the silent swirling vortex in Hanyu Mountain, the legends about the Wolf God Lu Heng in the mountains and wilds, as well as the praises and admiration from Wuzhu and Gongshu Jie on the way... Amidst the convergence of these pieces of information, Shen Wuyou had already understood what kind of "notorious reputation" his father held among the demons.

Do any demons really dare to come to our door?

The little boy was worried and anxious.

Lu Heng smiled and sighed, saying, "Don't worry, someone will definitely dare to come and find me. And that messenger, perhaps I even know them..."

Lu Heng's words caused Xiao Ai, who was cooking, to pause briefly in her actions.

Even Gu Yan, hanging under the eaves, couldn't help but tilt his head.

The little boy looked shocked, "Daddy, do you know the demons of the Green Hell Cave?"

Lu Heng shook his head, saying, "When I first met her, she was not yet a demon, but just a naive and romantic little fox. But now five years have passed, and I don't know what has become of her... sigh..."

Speaking of the fox demon named Xiao Xiao, Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing the little boy curious, Lu Heng took the opportunity to roughly tell the story of his encounter with the fox demon Su Xiaoxiao in the South Sea, as well as her connection to Madame Green Bamboo, who was one of the demons of the Green Hell Cave.

The little boy was greatly shocked to hear this and found it hard to believe.

"So, Madame Green Bamboo is a demon, but she forbids her daughter from cultivating evil cultivation and instead forces her to cultivate the righteous path... Are there really such demons in this world?"

Lu Heng shook his head and smiled, saying, "Even demons have emotions and desires. It's not surprising to find those who, like humans, would wholeheartedly consider their loved ones."

"Or perhaps, demons act without inhibitions because their emotions and desires are too strong, and they are controlled by demonic cultivation. If they want to eat humans, they will eat humans. If they wish to cultivate demonic techniques, they will do so quickly. Without restraint over their own desires, they indulge in them freely, thus causing all sorts of calamities and chaos in the world."

Lu Heng looked at the little boy in front of him and said, "Wuyou, your understanding of demons is too one-sided."

"Not all demons are those who kill people and commit atrocities."

"Throughout the path of evil and demonic cultivation, many good and virtuous people have been counted, and there are also quite a few demons who are repelled by the disgust and rejection of the path of evil and demonic cultivation."

"After all, in such a chaotic and malicious world, not everyone is able to fully integrate into it."

Lu Heng's words made the little boy hesitate for a while before he spoke up.

"Did Father say that Madame Green Bamboo had already regretted and repelled the demonic path, which is why she didn't allow her daughter to cultivate in demonic arts?"

After giving it some thought, Lu Heng said, "What I suspect is exactly that. However, whether or not it is true, only Madame Green Bamboo knows for sure."

The little boy continued, "Father, Madame Green Bamboo has regrets. Perhaps we can try to get in touch with her and ask for her help? She is one of the Four Elders of the Green Hell Cave. If we agree to spare her, maybe she will reveal the location of the Green Hell Cave's headquarters. This will also help her to turn to good and give her a chance to reform."

The little boy gave a suggestion.

Lu Heng looked at him with a smile and didn't immediately reject the proposal. Instead, he asked with a smile.

"Wuyou, do you think Madame Green Bamboo can be saved?"

The little boy hesitated for a moment and said, "Since she already regrets her actions, perhaps she can turn over a new leaf and change her ways..."

Lu Heng added, "Let me give you an example... your sister, Little Yu is now in the Green Hell Cave, and perhaps has met Madame Green Bamboo. If for some reason, Madame Green Bamboo suddenly decides to kill your sister and suck her blood and soul to cultivate her skills, causing her to die a tragic death."

"After a few days, Madame Green Bamboo comes to us and say that if I am willing to spare her and give her a chance to turn over a new leaf, she would not be held accountable for the lives she had taken before, including your sister's. In exchange, she would tell us the location of the Green Hell Cave... If that were the case, Wuyou, would you still be willing to let this monster who caused your sister's death go?"

Lu Heng's smiling inquiry left the little boy stunned.

"This... "

After remaining dazed for a while, he finally shamefully lowers his head and says, "Father's admonishment is warranted. It's that Wuyou was being too naive."

"Madame Green Bamboo has been following the demonic path for years, killing countless people to cultivate her skills, and causing the deaths of many innocent beings. She has a long list of blood feuds... Except for those who have been victimized by her and their relatives, no one in the world is qualified to forgive her."

The little boy muttered.

Lu Heng admiringly looks at him and says with a smile, "It's commendable that Wuyou is able to understand this."

"Those who fall into the demonic path in this world always have various reasons. However, the cultivation of the demonic path involves killing to refine techniques, cultivating with blood sacrifice, and other cruel and malicious acts."

"Even if there are ten thousand reasons and a thousand justifications, the moment these demonic cultivators fall into the demonic path, they are no longer considered human beings."

"If mere repentance of the heart could lead to redemption, then how can those victims who were corrupted and killed by demonic forces rest in peace?"

"Anyone who seeks to forgive those demonic beings who killed indiscriminately is trampling on the innocent lives that were once massacred by those demons."

"No one in this world is qualified to forgive the demons on behalf of those who have died... No matter how high one's cultivation may be."

Lu Heng looked at the little boy and sighed, "As righteous cultivators, the only thing we can do in the face of these demons is to exterminate them completely."

"We must exact revenge for the deceased and protect the living, preventing more innocents from falling victim to these demonic calamities. This is the only thing we can do."

As Lu Heng sighed with emotion, Xiao Ai had already come over with hot and steaming food.

On the wooden table that was taken out from the small embroidered bag, there were three dishes and one soup, steaming hot.

Xiao Ai said, "The Wolf God, you can have a meal now."

Lu Heng smiled and said, "Alright, I'm coming now."

As he spoke, Lu Heng stood up and said to the little boy beside him, "Let's have dinner first. Maybe while we're eating, the demons of the Green Hell Cave will come knocking on our door."
