Chapter 368 Wolf God's Promise
After leaving the Wheel Hall, Lu Heng took off directly into the air and flew towards the phantom of the city in the distance.
Behind Lu Heng, the Ghost King of the Wheel Hall, Youyue, accompanied several ghost cultivators. After they flew to the vicinity of the city, Lu Heng landed and walked directly towards the gate of the city.
From a distance, the city in the wilderness of the underworld was ethereal, empty and weird, and it was completely a phantom of nothingness. But in some corners, there were brick walls that condensed into substance and began to appear in the underworld.
Lu Heng looked at this situation and stopped in front of the city gate.
The city in front of him was somewhat different from the Zhuxian Town he had seen.
Although both were dilapidated ancient cities, the architectural style of this city was obviously older and weirder. Moreover, the gloomy and dead air in the city and the fierce feeling that gave people huge pressure were not possessed by the Zhuxian Town in the mortal world.
——Even if it was just a false phantom, it brought pressure to Lu Heng. If this city is really completely solid, the scene inside will be so terrifying...
Lu Heng stood in front of the city gate and watched for a long time. He did see the city gate shaking and trembling, as if there was something terrible inside that was constantly hitting the city gate and trying to get out.
On the city gate, a fierce ancient sword could be vaguely seen hidden in the gloomy death, looming.
Lu Heng watched for a long time and confirmed that this was not the four swords of Zhuxian that he had guessed.
Although the ancient sword was filled with fierceness, which made people's eyebrows hurt and their scalps numb, its appearance was simple and upright. If it weren't for the fierceness of the sword, it would be just an ordinary heavy sword without any exaggerated shape.
But this situation was not beyond Lu Heng's expectations.
The so-called four swords of Zhuxian were just a novelist's words, and they only appeared in "The Romance of the Gods" in the Ming Dynasty.
Although many things in this world are surprisingly similar to Chinese legends, they are all rumors from ancient times.
Such as Fuxi and Nuwa, Zhulong and the mermaid.
There is no trace of any fictional gods like the Four Swords of Zhuxian and Hongjun Taoist in this world.
Even among the many names that Lu Heng had seen in the Demon-Suppressing Stone Stele Forest before, except for those ancient predecessors that he did not know, the remaining names that he knew were all figures that only existed in ancient legends, such as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Chiyou.
More recently, even the names of the important gods worshipped in the pre-Qin period, the Lord of Heaven, had never appeared in that stele forest, let alone the fictional characters of the novels such as Tongtian Jiaozhu and Hongjun Taoist who appeared in more recent times.
In Lu Heng's guess, the ancient gods of this world may have had some connection with the earth in his world, so the names of those ancient gods and even some of their deeds and legends have been passed down to the modern world.
However, many legendary gods that have evolved since the pre-Qin period, such as the gods of heaven, Lord of Heaven, Monkey King, Twenty-Eight Constellations, God of Wealth and Buddha, do not exist in this world at all.
The four nameless swords that suppressed the city and the name of this place "Zhu Xian" are indeed just a coincidence.
"Ah..." Thinking of this, Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh.
For a moment, he felt mixed emotions.
To be honest, if these four swords were really the four swords of Zhu Xian, he would definitely be happy.
After all, it is something related to his hometown, and it is a magical weapon that he has heard of since childhood. How interesting it would be to see it in reality.
However, his expectations were dashed, but he could only accept the reality.
Putting aside his observation of the swords, Lu Heng left the city gate and began to walk around the periphery of the city.
In the end, he directly rose to the sky and stood in the void to overlook the scene in the city.
However, Lu Heng was disappointed.
When he looked down from the high place, the whole city was empty and void, as if there was a layer of dark fog covering everything and prohibiting the outside world from peeking.
Lu Heng was high above, but he could not see anything.
Obviously, he was not the only one who had the same situation. Youyue and the other ghost cultivators following Lu Heng also couldn't see the things in the city clearly.
After flying around the city, they finally landed in front of the city gate where Lu Heng landed at the beginning.
As soon as Youyue landed, she asked nervously: "Does Wolf God have any countermeasures?"
Now Lu Heng is their only lifeline, and in three days this city will turn from virtual to real, and the terrifying things inside are likely to rush out, so Youyue can't help but be afraid.
This netherworld is their only place to live.
If this place is destroyed by evil things, these ghost cultivators will have nowhere to go.
Lu Heng looked at the anxious ghost cultivators, sighed helplessly, and said: "This city is illusory, as if it does not exist at all. Even the power of the Netherworld Soul Seal cannot find its existence, let alone use the power of the Soul Seal to erase this city."
"But you don't have to worry. Even if this city is completely solidified and terrifying things run out of it, it will not harm the Netherworld for a while."
"During the flight around the city just now, I have used the Netherworld Soul Seal to temporarily separate the space around this city. Three days later, when the city solidifies, even if the things inside run out, they will not be able to break through the barrier I set up in a short time."
"And as long as this city is completely solidified and appears in the Netherworld, I can use the power of the Netherworld Soul Seal to forcibly peel it off and throw it back to the human world."
"We can't do anything about it now, because it didn't really come, it just projected a phantom."
Lu Heng said: "In the next three days, you can pay a little attention to this city. If there are any changes, please notify me in time."
"And Lu will return to the human world and go to Zhuxian Town in person to see what is buried under the ancient city."
"If there is really an evil spirit threatening the netherworld, Lu will definitely not stand idly by."
The promise made by Lu Heng made all the ghost cultivators feel relieved.
If the Wolf God is willing to take care of this matter, the netherworld should be worry-free.
The ghost cultivators hurriedly bowed to Lu Heng to thank him, and Lu Heng waved his hand and said: "I will go back to the human world first... See you all."
After saying goodbye to the ghost cultivators in a hurry, Lu Heng disappeared from the netherworld and went to the mortal world again.
This ancient city is so evil and strange, Lu Heng also took it seriously.
The construction of the Netherworld is related to all living beings in the world. Since Lu Heng is in charge of the Soul-Suppressing Seal, he cannot stand idly by at this moment.
Not to mention that the connection between this city and the Netherworld has a great relationship with him, Lu Heng.
If he hadn't been bored and brought Wuyou and Wuyu to the city to have fun, there wouldn't be such a thing... right?
