Chapter 295: Something Big Happened

Lu Heng's explanation helped the little boy to understand.

"Only those who cultivate demonic techniques and kill people for their own gain are demons, isn't that so?"

After speaking, the little boy furrowed his brows and thought for a moment, then came up with another question.

"But Daddy, if that's the case, then shouldn't those cultivators who follow the righteous path of cultivation but kill ruthlessly also be punished?"

Lu Heng looked at him approvingly and said, "It's commendable that Wuyou could think of this."

"It's true that in addition to demonic cultivators who kill people for their own gain, there are also some cultivators who follow the righteous path of cultivation but still slaughter innocents and are extremely cruel."

"We certainly cannot turn a blind eye and allow these cultivators to harm living beings."

"However, the biggest difference between ordinary cultivators and demonic cultivators is that when ordinary cultivators make mistakes, we can give them a chance to repent and reform in the right circumstances."

"But demonic cultivators are different; from the moment they enter the demonic path, they are doomed to be unable to suppress their desire to kill and refine techniques with human lives, and they will inevitably continue to wreak havoc and never turn to the right path."

"Therefore, when facing demonic cultivators, we must eliminate evil and never show any mercy."

"However, ordinary cultivators who are not demonic, unless they have an inherently cruel nature and engage in extremely detestable actions, like Madam River God, who once engaged in war with the Fire Pass Country due to racial conflicts."

"Later, she put down her grudges and was willing to become the protector deity of the Pang River, protecting both sides of the river for hundreds of years, and the incense has been continuous ever since."

"Madam River God has already reformed and her good deeds have exceeded those of most cultivators, so we naturally have no need to investigate her past deeds of killing numerous people."

"After all, even the Fire Pass Country has tacitly approved of her existence. As outsiders to the events of that year, what reason do we have to dig up old accounts?"

"If we really seek revenge for those who died back then and kill the current protector deity of the Pang River, Gu Zhou, will the creatures living on both sides of the Pang River now appreciate us?"

Looking at the little boy's seemingly incomprehensible expression, Lu Heng solemnly spoke.

"So, as cultivators, the thing we most avoid is "arrogantly taking the lead"."

"Having extraordinary strength makes one feel superior, able to judge good and evil, reward and punish all beings… This is an absolutely mistaken thought."

"No one can be above others… Even mortals who don't understand cultivation are no different in terms of character."

"If you try to dominate the life and death of others and ignore their will just because you are strong, then your tyrannical behavior is no different from that of evil demons."

"Understanding what are the things one should manage and intervene in, as well as the things one should not manage and not have the qualifications to interfere with, is the most important lesson for a cultivator who controls extraordinary powers."

Watching the still naive young boy, Lu Heng smiled and ruffled the little guy's head.

He said, "Alright, let's finish here for today. We should go take a look at your former abode."

The young boy nodded several times and ran quickly ahead, followed by Dao.

"It's just ahead, Father. The place where Mother and I used to live is just ahead."

Within the desolate Luwu Mountain, the young boy's running figure was so fast that it left an afterimage in the air.

Even if they were young and had extremely low cultivation level, demon cultivators were still much stronger in their innate potential than ordinary humans.

Lu Heng and Xiao Ai followed behind him, seemingly strolling leisurely, but they easily caught up with the young boy and were not left behind.

Soon, they entered the depths of Luwu Mountain and arrived at a small lake in this desolate mountain range.

This lake appeared to be the source of the Ze Geng River that flowed into the Pang River outside the mountain. The Ze Geng River flowed out of this place and meandered outward.

The small lake quietly stood among the barren mountains, its water clear and rippling with gentle waves. Along the lakeshore, some low trees and lush grass grew green.

Although the scenery was not particularly jaw-dropping, its appearance in the desolate Luwu Mountain was complemented by the barren hills around it and gave off a sense of a utopia hidden away from the world.

The little boy pointed happily at the small lake in front of them and said, "Daddy, I used to live inside it before."

Lu Heng was a bit surprised and asked, "Oh? You lived in the lake? Is your mother a member of the mermaid tribe?"

Even though cultivators are mostly able to control the effects of water and fire, once their cultivation reaches a certain level, they can also move freely in the water.

However, unless they are members of the mermaid tribe who grew up in the rivers and lakes, cultivators born on land have always been reluctant to cultivate underwater.

However, the little boy didn't answer Lu Heng's question. He went back to his doorstep and, full of excitement and happiness, jumped straight into the lake without another word.

Afterwards, he swam in the water like a lively fish, completely immersed in the excitement of returning home.

Finally, the little boy leapt out of the lake like a fish, creating countless splashes of water, and laughed cheerfully in mid-air.

"Daddy! Come quickly! I'm waiting for you ahead!"

After saying this, the little boy fell back into the lake again and swiftly swam towards the deeper part of the water with a whooshing sound.

Happy and excited.

Seeing this scene, Lu Heng smiled slightly but didn't enter the lake.

He looked at Xiao Ai beside him and said, "Xiao Ai, you go with the child and I'll wait for you guys outside."

Lu Heng's words made Xiao Ai's face immediately serious.

"Is there something wrong with this lake?" The little girl looked cautiously at the lake in front of her and immediately went into a state of alert.

Lu Heng, however, shook his head with a smile and said, "Not at all. The lake is fine, there is no problem. It's just that guests have arrived outside and I have to attend to them first. You go with Wuyou and take a look inside for me."

"If there is nothing unusual, then just come out."

Lu Heng looked at the flying light directly in the distance and said, "The real culprit behind the scenes is so careful that until now they haven't shown any clues. Surely they wouldn't leave any clues in this lake… Even if we do find any evidence, it must be deliberately left behind for us. It may not be true."

Lu Heng's words left Xiao Ai feeling perplexed.

Although she wanted to ask why the Wolf God came to Luwu Mountain if he already knew there wouldn't be any clues here.

But the Wolf God's actions always carry deep meaning, and if she cannot understand it, it must be because she is too foolish.

Therefore, after Xiao Ai bowed to Lu Heng, she also jumped into the lake in front of her and swam towards the underwater palace.

Meanwhile, Lu Heng watched as the flying light rapidly approached in the distance. He even raised his hand and released a beam of light into the sky to guide the other party's direction.

Soon, the flying light landed by the lake and transformed back into the musician Gu Yin, who looked disheveled and anxious.

The person who they separated at the Fierce Demon Feast before were no longer elegant and aloof, but rather in a state of extreme panic.

The moment he saw Lu Heng, he anxiously bowed to him as a sign of respect.

"Senior Wolf God! Something big has happened!"
