Chapter 172: Insane Demon

Lu Heng showed his respect, indicating what his intentions were.

Then after a few seconds of silence, the eldest boy broke the ice.

"You rough and tumble wolf, why've you come to our door now? You must be trying to steal that Hidden Sword... Pfft! Your wolfish ambition is so obvious to us, do you think we don't know?"

The eldest boy sneered and said, "I advise you not to think that you can make enemies everywhere just because you are strong. We are ancient existences who have survived the turbulent times, not just you are powerful."

"Our brotherhood had a resounding name in ancient times. Serve the Emperor loyally and keep watch in the wilds!"

"You brazen wolf, since you are familiar with the name of the Empress, you must be aware of her elder brother, the Emperor's majesty, right?"

The big brother proudly said, "If we back off here, we can be good friends and meet again in the future. Otherwise, don't blame us for being harsh!"

The eldest boy's fiercely arrogant and old-fashioned scolding made Lu Heng feel a sense of agitation.

The Empress...The Empress's brother...

He couldn't help but think of the broken half-meter-high stele in the Stele Forest and the inscription on it "The Tomb of my Brother Fuxi".

These sixteen little monsters claim to be from ancient times...

He smiled and said, "How do you know I know the name of the Empress?"

The big one yawned lazily, as if Lu Heng's question was a rhetorical one.

He said, "You daring fellow, to call upon the name of the Empress in the South Sea. Of course we know about it!"

"We always keep an eye on the movements in the South Sea, and we will be there in time when something happens... This is a mission assigned to us by the Emperor! Do you understand what it means to have a mission?"

The eldest boy said proudly that all the little boys and girls around him were also honored.

When Lu Heng saw the sixteen little boys and girls like this, he looked back at the valley shrouded in evil energy.

At such a close distance, even though there was an evil presence hiding it, he could clearly feel that Huo Feng and Lian Caiyi were still alive in the valley.

Therefore, his anxious feeling subsided.

Lu Heng smiled and looked at the sixteen little monsters in front of him, silently summoning the deep yellow Requiem Seal behind him. On the surface, he calmly looked at the sixteen boys and girls, as if he was not in a hurry.

He smiled and said, "The Emperor entrusting you to keep an eye on the South Sea is a sign of trust. I'm sure he is confident in your ability to get the job done, right?"

Lu Heng showered them with praises, and the sixteen boys and girls immediately had proud looks on their faces.

The eldest boy hummed and said, "Of course. There are few people in this world who can be entrusted to do things by the venerable Emperor. You may not have been famous back then, but I'm sure you know how great the Emperor is."

"Even though you are of higher status than us now, it is because we have been cursed by the Moluo Sword. We have been unable to advance for many years."

"If we had been cultivating since ancient times until now, our cultivation level would have been enough to make you tremble with fear."

The eldest boy had a look of pride on his face, while Lu Heng just smiled slightly and said.

"Since you mentioned the Moluo Sword, I also remembered it. That Hidden Sword which was taken away by you is my dearest friend."

"You sneakily took him away and forced him to be the sword's master... Even if the Emperor himself came back to life and knew it, I'm sure he wouldn't support you, huh?"

Lu Heng mocked.

Just as Lu Heng finished speaking, the sixteen little boys and girls all changed their expressions drastically.

They flew back half a mile in an instant.

The elder stared at Lu Heng with a look of terror, as if he had seen a monster. "How did you know that the Emperor had already passed away? You monster... were you present back then?"

In the sky, the originally proud sixteen little monsters have changed their faces drastically, like they had seen a ghost.

When the Emperor passed away that year, they were present when it happened.

They can be sure that there were no more than ten people present when the Emperor perished.

After the news was blocked, the remaining people who knew this news were all demons involved in the assassination of the Emperor...

"Mommy!!!"

The sixteen little monsters screamed, turned around, and ran towards the Evil Sword Valley shrouded in evil energy.

They finally understand at this moment.

No wonder they had never even heard this old monster's name before, so it turns out he is from the other side!!!

He also participated in the siege of the Emperor!

The sixteen little monsters were so scared.

Lu Heng looked up at the sky. He was puzzled as to why his words seemed to have scared the sixteen monsters into this state.

But the sixteen monsters escaped and headed towards the valley, Lu Heng couldn't neglect this.

What if the sixteen monsters hurt Huo Feng and Lian Caiyi?

When Lu Heng's mind moved, that mysterious yellow Requiem Seal suddenly flew out.

In the instant that the sixteen small monsters turned and fled, they were swept by a cold, gloomy light.

In an instant, sixteen semi-transparent souls were swept out and fell from their bodies.

At that moment, they were all stunned.

"Soul Seizing?"

They looked in terror toward Lu Heng behind them, paralyzed by these unseen measures.

This kind of technique aimed at the soul, though never seen before, is indeed the sinister style of that group of demons! Who else but that group of demons would study such a sinister secret technique?

"You, you, you, you... don't come over here!"

The eldest boy shouted in fear, "Come any closer and we'll fight you!"

As soon as the eldest boy finished speaking, a clap of thunder resounded in the sky.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the thunder suddenly appeared.

Yet this time, it wasn't one heavenly thunderbolt that descended from the clouds, it was three.

The moment the three heavenly thunderbolts fell, they solidified in midair. Transforming into three giant beams of light flickering with lightning, they surrounded the souls of the sixteen little monsters.

Between the lightning pillars, light was flashing and inexplicably connected to each other, forming layer upon layer of semi-transparent lightning walls, sealing off all directions and transforming into a prison of heavenly thunder, trapping he sixteen little boys and girls inside.

Lu Heng put all his effort into the Thunder Prison for the first time, and its power exceeded his expectations.

The huge thunderbolt light pillar that reaches the sky and the earth is so large that it's frightening. At least it looks intimidating.

Under the clouds, when Lu Heng saw the sixteen little monsters trapped in it, he laughed.

He said, "Wait, what's the rush? The conversation isn't done yet."
