Chapter 200: The Secret of Wuqi Country
In the courtyard, Lu Heng felt melancholy.
In a foreign land, seeing a divine weapon with some connection to his hometown left him not only shocked but also somewhat homesick.
However, even though the Roaring Goose Sword was from the same place as him, it could not tell him how to go back.
It is true that there is talk of sword spirits and blade souls in divine weapons, but unlike the legendary stories Lu Heng had heard before, these spirits cannot take on human form or communicate with their owner.
They have simple thoughts and emotions, yet they cannot match the intelligence of humans.
To learn about the journey of the Roaring Goose Sword and how it came to this world, one might have to go to the place where the Great Sage of Fu Feng found the sword.
Lu Heng restrained his emotions and watched as the Roaring Goose Sword turned into a crimson cloud magpie in the Great Sage of Fu Feng's hand, carrying the letter Lu Heng wrote for Wu Gu as it took flight. He casually asked the Great Sage of Fu Feng where he found the sword.
Li Po interjected and only then did Lu Heng learn that the Roaring Goose Sword was found in the former capital of Wuqi Country.
The ruins were located in a remote area at the border of the East Sea and the South Sea, and the Great Sage of Fu Feng only discovered the site by chance.
"Wuqi Country..."
Hearing Li Po's rumors about this country, Lu Heng was surprised. "Wuqi Country, is it a vassal state of Candle Dragon? Do they worship Candle Dragon for generations?"
This is truly a peculiar rumor.
Li Po nodded, "Indeed, Wuqi Country is mysterious and unpredictable, always hidden from the outside world, and has always been devoted to the Candle Dragon, being part of the dragon's clan. I don't know why they have come to the Mermaid Kingdom this time, perhaps they are also after the Moluo Evil Sword."
Li Po's words made Lu Heng slightly silent.
He thought of a possibility...Could it be that Wuqi Country came to the Mermaid Kingdom because of him, Lu Heng?
However, this thought was immediately dismissed by Lu Heng.
He had only known the Candle Dragon for a few months, and the two had not formed a deep relationship. How could he have the audacity to ask the Candle Dragon to send his clan to assist him?
Of course, the most important thing is that if Candle Dragon learns of this, Lu Heng believes that guy would definitely come over in person to join in the fun, rather than sending a family member to help out.
Therefore, the arrival of Wuqi Country should have nothing to do with Lu Heng.
Li Po said, "It's a pity that Wuqi Country is mysterious and even we know very little about it. All we know is that the people of Wuqi Country are immortal, which is somewhat similar to the Immortal Kingdom."
Li Po's words left Lu Heng very surprised, "Immortal? Is it really that powerful?"
Xiao Ai, who was standing next to them, hesitated to speak. Lu Heng saw her and couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Has Xiao Ai heard of this Wuqi Country?"
Lu Heng's words immediately drew the attention of the Great Sage of Fu Feng and Li Po to the little girl standing beside them.
The gaze of the three individuals made the little girl with silver beast ears slightly uncomfortable.
However, after hesitating for a moment, she still spoke, "When my mother was alive, she told Xiao Ai about some strange races beyond the mountain. One of them is Wuqi Country..."
"My mother said that although the people of Wuqi Country don't die, they don't live forever. They have no distinction between male and female, don't give birth to offspring, and have a lifespan of only 120 years. When they live to be this age, they will die naturally."
"After death, the body is buried underground. After another 120 years, the body can be reborn, and the cycle continues endlessly. Therefore, although the people of Wuqi Country don't differentiate between male and female and cannot give birth, their population thrives..."
The little girl's words left the Great Sage of Fu Feng stunned, almost wanting to ask who her mother was, and how she knew such a secret.
Meanwhile, Lu Heng exchanged a gaze with Li Po, seeing the surprise in his eyes.
Clearly, the secrets mentioned by Xiao Ai are unknown even to the Li Tribe.
Before Lu Heng left Hanyu Mountain, he encountered rare birds and beasts along the way, which Xiao Ai was able to identify based on their physical characteristics. Lu Heng had not paid attention, thinking that Xiao Ai's mother was just knowledgeable.
After all, even Huo Feng, who traveled far and wide, could recognize those strange beasts.
But now, Xiao Ai is able to reveal the secrets of Wuqi Country in a single sentence... this cannot be explained by mere knowledge.
Xiao Ai's mother, undoubtedly has an impressive background.
And Xiao Ai is clearly aware of this, as her expression became complicated after speaking.
She originally thought that her mom had a good education and a decent family background, but she ended up in the remote corner of Hanyu Mountain.
However, as she accompanied the Wolf God down south, she encountered many strange and exotic creatures along the way, and she could find corresponding descriptions in the stories her mother had told her.
Now even the incredibly secretive Candle Dragon family in Wuqi Country, her mother had described in great detail...
Lu Heng sighed and said, "When we return to the mountain, I will accompany you to visit your mother's tombstone and pay our respects."
Lu Heng's words brought Xiao Ai back from her trance.
She quickly regained her focus and nodded in agreement.
Regarding the interaction between the girl and the wolf, Li Po and the Great Sage of Fu Feng could only watch silently without interrupting.
In the courtyard, due to the consecutive anomalies, the atmosphere was no longer as harmonious as it was at the beginning. A slightly melancholic atmosphere flowed around Lu Heng and Xiao Ai.
Li Po and the Great Sage of Fu Feng stopped bothering them and left crisply, bidding farewell, and were later escorted out of the yard by Lu Heng.
However, before leaving, Li Po pointed to the two strong men from the Hanhai Department guarding the gate.
"These two are my brothers from the clan, Wu Ji and Wu Mie. They may not have high cultivation, but their sincerity of heart is admirable. They will stay with the Wolf God to run errands for you."
Li Po chuckled and said, "If the Wolf God has any orders, just tell them directly and they will make sure to handle it properly."
When Li Po was introduced, Lu Heng didn't feel much, but the Mermaid Battle Soliders who were watching nearby all turned pale with fear.
Wu Ji and Wu Mie? These two are well-known warriors of the Hanhai Department.
Among all the people of the Li Tribe with innate divine abilities, the talent of these two brothers is among the very best.
Wu Ji's divine ability, Blood Battle Robe, can make him stronger and stronger as he fights. In theory, as long as he starts fighting, his combat power will continue to climb until the battle ends and he returns to his normal level.
There are only two possibilities when facing him, either to kill him directly with super strength, or to be constantly overwhelmed and killed by his rising combat power...
Although Wu Mie's divine ability, Indestructible Golden Bone, is not as explosive as his brother's Blood Battle Robe, it is even more mysterious and difficult to defend against. With this divine ability, Wu Mie can create a bone avatar to fight alongside him.
The strength and appearance of this Bone Avatar completely imitated the enemy, including their skills and techniques, all of which were mimicked exactly.
Fighting against Wu Mie was equivalent to fighting against oneself, while also being outnumbered with a strong Hanhai clansman as backup.
Are these two warriors here to guard the Wolf God's gate?
Hanhai Department, are you serious?!
