Chapter 245: Who Is Your Father?

Chapter 245: Who Is Your Father?

In the wilderness, Tie Yi ran away decisively and efficiently, without any dilly-dallying.

Not only did Gongshu Jie and other wizards not expect it, but even the group of demonic creatures who followed Tie Yi were also dumbfounded.

The Holy Fire Demon Binding Net hastily deployed by the wizards was easily broken by Tie Yi's charge in the absence of a wizard or priest presiding over it.

Facing the Holy Fire Demon Binding Net spread out in the sky, Tie Yi lightly slashed a strange hairpin in his hand and directly cut open the formed net, escaping and fleeing.

While Tie Yi could run away, the remaining demonic creatures didn't have his strange magical treasure that could break through the Holy Fire Demon Binding Net and escape.

During the time they were trying to break through the Holy Fire Demon Binding Net, Gongshu Jie had enough time to kill them dozens of times.

In the wilderness, curses filled the air.

"F*ck you, Tie Yi!"

"I'm blinded! I followed a heartless and ungrateful bastard like you!"

The abandoned demonic creatures cursed Tie Yi in extremely unpleasant words for leaving them behind.

Betrayal and abandonment are the norm among demonic creatures, especially when faced with great danger.

The demons cursed angrily while getting closer to each other, and remained alert to the wizards around them.

Cursing Tie Yi was just a way to vent their anger. However, the group of wizards in front of them were the most terrifying enemies.

Seeing the solemn black-robed wizard Gongshu Jie ahead, all the demonic creatures knew they were unlikely to survive today.

Encountering this fierce sniper in such a remote place far from Thousand Needles was a source of despair and mourning for them.

Wasn't this operation supposed to be extremely secretive? How could such a big disaster occur?!

The demonic creatures mourned in their hearts, but had to fight desperately for survival.

In the wilderness, after setting up a restraining formation and trapping the unconscious little boy, Gongshu Jie directly deployed the Holy Fire Demon Binding Net and led many wizards to exterminate the demonic creatures in the wilderness.

The fierce flames mixed with the violent demonic aura raged in the mountains, creating more scorched soil and white ground.

Countless birds and beasts panicked and fled, trying to escape from the center of the battle.

Inside the Demon Binding Net, more than a dozen demonic creatures fought back fiercely, even causing trouble for many wizards, led by Gongshu Jie.

After all, among these dozen or so demonic creatures, two of them had strength that was no less than that of Le Hetian, the Wuzhu of Yaoxing City.

Although the remaining demonic creatures were weaker, they were not much weaker.

With such a group of powerful demonic creatures gathering, it made the identity of the person escorted by them even more special.

In the midst of the battle, Gongshu Jie couldn't help but look back and frowned at the small unconscious boy, curious about his identity.

The battle between the wizards and the demons in the mountains and forests lasted a full three hours before it finally ended with barely any victory.

Amidst flying blood and magic, fifteen of the seventeen demonic creatures were killed, only the two strongest demonic creatures used their dark magic to barely escape with their lives.

But it is likely that the injuries are very severe, and it will take several decades to recover fully.

There were casualties among the wizards as well. Although Gongshu Jie and Le Hetian were present, three wizards still died when the demonic creatures attacked the Holy Fire Demon Binding Net.

In the sunset of the western horizon, the wizards laid the bodies of the three deceased wizards together and then took out a small black gourd. They aimed the mouth of the gourd at the three corpses on the ground and whispered a few complex spells in a low voice.

Then a gust of cold wind blew over, and a wisp of white smoke flew out of each of the three corpses' nostrils and was sucked into the small black gourd.

Afterwards, this small black gourd will be sent to the Water Palace of Pang River and handed over to the River God Gu Zhou.

And the souls of the wizards inside the gourd will temporarily reside with Gu Zhou.

However, ordinary wizards didn't know where it would go afterwards. They only knew that five years ago, the lord created this small gourd that could temporarily house a soul, and instructed that the souls of the deceased wizards must be collected and given to the Water God of Pang River using the gourd.

Only those with the status of a wizard like Gongshu Jie would have access to some inside information...

Of course, there are more important matters at hand than just collecting the corpses of companions.

When the wizards were preparing for the aftermath of the dead and using the fire of karma to burn the corpses of the monsters, Gongshu Jie and Le Hetian went to the unconscious little boy.

Everyone was filled with curiosity about this little boy who was escorted by a dozen monsters at the same time.

Gongshu Jie waved his hand, set up a flame barrier to prevent outside surveillance and then awakened the unconscious little boy.

A burst of fire flashed, and the little boy on the ground opened his eyes dazedly and sat up.

Then, he saw Gongshu Jie and Le Hetian in front of him clearly.

The little boy's face immediately turned pale with fright.

"You can't kill me!" yelled the little boy.

But even in such a terrifying situation, the little boy tried to maintain a calm composure... although his calm appearance seemed too forced.

Gongshu Jie had a gloomy face and didn't speak.

Le Hetian continued to smile as usual, and even when faced with this child who was traveling with demons, his smile remained gentle.

"Little kid, where do you come from?"

Le Hetian smiled and said, "Why do you travel with the demons from the Green Hell Cave?"

In the eyes of the two Wuzhus, it was clear that the little boy in front of them was a demon human, but there was no demonic energy in his body. He was probably not yet cultivating demonic arts.

And the so-called demon human refers to the descendants of demon cultivators.

Although most demon cultivators are born in the turbulent wilderness, they must protect their precious spiritual energy in order to cultivate and attain human form.

But once the Heaven Door is opened and spiritual wisdom is attained, it means the demon cultivator has shed their rough and fierce exterior and entered the realm of becoming human. At this point, they no longer need to place too much emphasis on their spiritual energy, and can even give birth to children.

...Although losing that precious spiritual energy will still have an impact on demon cultivators.

Therefore, unless they truly love each other, demon cultivators rarely have children.

As for the "human" of demon human, it doesn't refer to humans. Any cultivator who opens their spiritual wisdom and enters the Heaven Door, whether they have transformed or not, will become the "becoming human" category.

The evil cultivators' methods of killing are not limited to feeding on human blood. They can also use spiritual beasts that have opened their spiritual wisdom and reached the "becoming human" stage to cultivate their techniques, and the efficacy of such methods is even stronger.

However, most of the creatures that can enter the "becoming human" stage have achieved a certain level of cultivation. As for the majority of demons and evil cultivators, they still prey on ordinary mortal humans.

And the little boy in front of them is a demon human of the "becoming human" category who was born in a human form.

Although it has the body of a demon, it belongs to the category of "becoming human".

Therefore, Le Hetian was very curious, why would the little boy get involved with the demons and evil cultivators of the Green Hell Cave?

However, in the face of Le Hetian's questioning, the little boy stubbornly refused to answer and only said, "I am not a devil, you cannot kill me!"

In response, Gongshu Jie lost his patience, waved his hand, and a beam of fire shot into the body of the little boy.

"Now I ask, you answer!"

Gongshu Jie said with a gloomy face, "Who is your father?"

The little boy's face stiffened when he was hit by Gongshu Jie's red light, as he was about to shut his mouth and remain silent.

However, the moment he heard Gongshu Jie's question, his mouth involuntarily opened.

"My father is Lu Heng, the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain!"

In an instant, the mountain forest became quiet.

The expressions of Gongshu Jie and Le Hetian became incredibly brilliant...
