Chapter 66: Lord of Huotong

In the underground palace, Lu Heng's soul incarnation sat cross-legged in the void.

In front of him, the dark blue Heavenly Tribulation Sword was floating silently.

After drawing seven thunderbolts into the sheath, Lu Heng had guarded the sword for seven days.

The simple wooden scabbard was as gentle as jade, without the slightest hint of murderous intent. But what's even more strange is that the seven heavenly thunders introduced into the scabbard also disappeared without a trace.

This kind of disappearance is not just the disappearance of the external aura, because Lu Heng cannot find the existence of the power of thunder in the Heavenly Tribulation Sword even if he concentrates on sensing it.

On the contrary, I vaguely sensed a terrifying aura similar to that of the Divine Meteor Tribulation Thunder...

Lu Heng smiled helplessly, but he didn't expect that it would actually turn out like this.

Originally, what he wanted to forge was a self-defense weapon that could absorb the power of thunder and nourish it. When encountering an enemy, he could use his sword to defend the enemy and draw the thunder from the sword to kill him.

The two priests of the Li tribe also made the Heavenly Tribulation Sword according to this plan.

But even the two Li priests who forged the sword could not have imagined that the Heavenly Tribulation Sword would undergo a qualitative change after being struck by the Divine Meteor Tribulation Thunder.

The seven heavenly thunders that Lu Heng introduced into the sword body disappeared into the sea and disappeared without a trace. Lu Heng could no longer control them.

If he hadn't been able to vaguely feel the terrifying aura of the God's Falling Tribulation Thunder slowly brewing, Lu Heng would have thought that the Heavenly Tribulation Sword had been broken.

He tried to activate the divine meteorite tribulation thunder in the sword, and found that although the divine meteorite tribulation thunder in the sword was weak, it was slowly strengthening.

It will probably take a while to warm up, and then you can use it to kill the enemy.

But it can only take one blow...

After Lu Heng realized this, he felt complicated. I no longer knew whether to laugh with joy or smile bitterly and shake my head.

After the original Heavenly Tribulation Sword drew the thunder into its sheath, he only needed to warm it up for a period of time before he could use the seven thunderbolts in the sword to kill the enemy at will.

But now the seven tribulation thunders have turned into one. Although its power has become more and more terrifying, it can only hit one blow after being warmed for a long time. If it disappears in one blow, the thunder has to be sheathed again and warmed up again, and the warm-up period is still so long...

Lu Heng didn't even know whether he made a profit or a loss.

The only thing that is certain is that this Heavenly Tribulation Sword cannot be unsheathed at will in the future.

The divine calamity thunder that was warmed in the sword was too precious. It took many hours to warm up every time, and there was only one strike. If you waste it at will, you will be unable to resist when you encounter a strong enemy.

It seems that my idea of ​​using the tribulation thunder to kill enemies at will has been shattered...

Lu Heng let out a long sigh.

Although the sudden thunderbolt of the Divine Meteor Tribulation did not break the Heavenly Tribulation Sword, it changed the body of the sword, increasing the power of the sword but also increasing its restrictions.

Perhaps, this is also a different kind of punishment? To restrict Lu Heng from abusing the power of punishment?

Lu Heng shook his head helplessly.

Now that the changes in the Heavenly Tribulation Sword have been confirmed, Lu Heng could only accept the reality helplessly no matter how many thoughts he had in mind.

Next, he needs to focus on warming his soul.

The incarnation of the soul that had been split into half had caused great damage to Lu Heng. Today, he needs to spend a long time concentrating on meditation and warming his soul.

After the soul is completely repaired, he can try [Opening the Heavenly Gate] again.

Although in the inner world of visualization, the huge gate of heaven still stands in the clouds and cannot be shaken at all.

But after discovering the slowly growing trace of divine meteorite thunder in the scabbard, Lu Heng had an idea.

This heavenly gate is so heavy and difficult to open, maybe we can try to break through violently...

But if he wants to try this idea, he has to wait until he recovers his soul.

In the underground shrine, Lu Heng once again entered the state of silent cultivation.

The atmosphere in Thousand Needles City, where the cold wind is blowing and the sky is gloomy, is now tense. After returning from Hanyu Mountain, Gai Yin flew across thousands of rivers and mountains, traveled through endless wilderness, and finally returned to the familiar city.

Now that we are approaching the beginning of winter, the weather is getting colder and colder.

Although heavy snow has not yet fallen, the residents in the city are much more well-dressed.

On the East China Sea not far outside the city, the tide surged, bringing with it a biting sea breeze.

After Gai Yin returned to the city, he didn't stop, and he didn't even go back to his own house. He headed directly towards the Fire Temple in the city.

After passing through layers of guards, he finally saw Wu Zhu.

In the bleak autumn wind, Gongshu Jie sat by the window, looking deeply at the fallen leaves outside the window. He didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't even notice that he held the bamboo slip in his hand upside down.

It wasn't until Gai Yin called twice that Gongshu Jie came back to his senses and saw this close subordinate.

"Oh, Gai Yin," Gongshu Jie stood up from the table and said with a smile, "I was thinking that you should be back by the time. I didn't expect you to come...how? Han Yushan and his party, but Is there any gain?”

Gai Yin did not dare to delay, and immediately told all the stories about his trip to Hanyu Mountain, his visit to the Wolf God, and the stories he heard from the Wolf God.

After finishing speaking, he took out a pot of wine and said, "This is the wine given to me by the Wolf God."

Uncle Jie took it absentmindedly, but his thoughts were not on the pot of wine.

The story Gai Yin brought also shocked him greatly.

"Five horses divided the body... One force can defeat all kinds of magic..."

Uncle Jie murmured these words repeatedly, and after pondering for a while, he slowly shook his head.

"The Wolf God is warning me not to act too hastily. Indeed, I have been a little impatient recently, and it's time to slow down a bit."

The atmosphere in the city was so solemn, and he naturally knew the reason behind it.

However, Gai Yin's advice from the Wolf God gave him hope of breaking the situation again.

"One force can break all laws... One force can break all laws... Haha..."

Gongshu Jie repeated these words and couldn't help but smile, "It is indeed as the Wolf God said, as long as you are strong enough, you don't need to pay too much attention to those sneaky tricks."

"The old clan, the old clan... ha... if they really want to make a big fuss, they will save me the trouble!"

"If you are not ruthless, it won't be a big deal... The Wolf God still sees clearly. It was me who was indecisive before."

When Gongshu Jie said this, he smiled happily, relieved his worries, and felt much more relaxed.

He lowered his head, looked at the pot of wine in his hand, and said, "Since this wine was given by the Wolf God, I want to have a try..."

With that said, Uncle Jie opened the stopper of the wine bottle, and instantly, a quiet and elegant aroma of wine lingered in the room.

Uncle Jie's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed, "This pot of spiritual wine..."

"It's really the best in the world...Tsk, tsk, tsk, good wine, good wine!" The surprise laughter suddenly sounded outside the door, making the two people in the room turn around at the same time.

I saw a slender figure standing in the courtyard in the bleak autumn wind.

The long hair as red as fire is tied behind the head and hanging down casually, simple and casual. Although the clothes he wears are made of top-quality tinder feathers, they are simple in style and not luxurious.

Even the clothes he wore seemed so casual and careless, and the baggy clothes even looked a bit sloppy.

When Gongshu Jie and Gai Yin looked at the woman who suddenly appeared, the other woman was also looking at them and smiling.

She was holding a wine bottle in her hand, and there was a faint smell of alcohol lingering around her, like an alcoholic. A red fire snake was wrapped around her right arm, watching the two of them silently.

Compared with this sloppy and lazy woman, the fire snake in her hand actually looked graceful and luxurious.

But facing this sloppy and lazy woman, both Gongshu Jie and Gai Yin were slightly shocked and did not dare to be rude in the slightest.

Gai Yin quickly bowed and saluted, "I have met the king!"

Gongshu Jie calmly hid the peach blossom wine behind his back, and then smiled, "Gongshu Jie has met the king. He didn't know that the king was coming, so he couldn't welcome him from afar. Please forgive me."

"Uh-huh..." The red-haired woman sneered disdainfully, and shook her head when she witnessed Gongshu Jie's little move of hiding the wine.

"Uncle Jie, you are a dishonest old boy. With such good wine, how can you not share it? Do you still want to keep it to yourself?"

Gongshu Jie coughed and said, "The king has traveled thousands of miles from the royal capital and must have something important to do. I won't drink this wine today. I will arrange for the chef to prepare a banquet for the king today."

The red-haired woman sneered again, "Ever since you got the guidance from the wolf god, you have become more and more naughty... But the banquet is skipped, I don't have time. This time I came to Thousand Needles City because I was too annoyed to stand it, so come and see."

"You old boy made such a big fuss in Thousand Needles City that you made those old men go to the capital to cry every day. I cried so much that my head was pounding."

"If you are really cruel, just kill those annoying old guys to save them from bothering me."

The red-haired woman said this half seriously and half jokingly, and Gai Yin suddenly sweated on his forehead and felt a little nervous.

Uncle Jie frowned slightly, but his expression didn't change much.

Facing the red-haired woman in front of him, his attitude was still respectful, "The king is joking, what uncle Jie did in Thousand Needles City was all moral and not selfish at all. If the king has any instructions, just say so. Uncle Jie will definitely obey."

Uncle Jie's attitude did not seem to be hypocritical, but the red-haired woman was still disdainful.

"Okay, okay, don't do this to me. I'm not here to cause trouble for you."

"I've been shopping around for half a month and have a pretty good understanding of the situation in Thousand Needles City. You've done a good job, I support you."

"As for whether you will be cut into pieces by five horses like that Wei Yang... haha... just wish yourself well."

The red-haired woman said, "But if Thousand Needles City can be managed well, the reforms you implement in Thousand Needles City may be promoted in Huotong in the future. When the time comes, I will come to you, and you are not allowed to refuse."

When saying this, the red-haired woman's expression was rare and serious.

Gongshu Jie was silent for a while, then bowed deeply, "Gongshu Jie will never refuse where justice lies."

"Okay! Your words are enough," the woman in red smiled again and said, "With your words, even if I can't drink the spiritual wine, my country's lord is satisfied."

With that said, the woman in red laughed and walked outside.

He came so suddenly and left so suddenly.

Gongshu Jie quickly spoke to persuade him to stay, "Since the king has come to Thousand Needles City, why don't you stay for a few days and let me personally guide you around the city? You can also have a deeper understanding of the reform."

But the red-haired woman just waved her hands and said without looking back, "If you stay, you won't be able to drink the spiritual wine. It will only increase your bad luck... and you're gone."

"You can do whatever you have to do and don't worry about me. I won't go and take your heads in the middle of the night."

As the voice fell, the woman disappeared from their sight.

With the cultivation level of Gongshu Jie and Gai Yin, they were unable to see clearly how the other party left and disappeared. For this woman, the guards of this heavily guarded Fire Temple were useless...

In the cold wind, Uncle Jie let out a long sigh and said, "The master's cultivation has become more and more advanced..."
