Chapter 166: Welcome

"How magical."

Lu Fang asked curiously, "What kind of existence is 'Punishment'? Do all his organs have intelligence? This is the first time I've heard that organs can develop intelligence. Wouldn't that mean they can chat with each other?"

Demon Heart: "Actually, I can only communicate with 'Punishment'. I also asked 'Punishment' the same question. What it said to me was that only I am very special."

"Only you are very special?"

Lu Fang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Demon Heart: "'Punishment' lied again. At a certain moment, I clearly sensed that a kind of energy was touching me, as if it was greeting me. This energy was emitted from within 'Punishment's' body."

"At that time, 'Punishment' also sensed it."

"So after that, I never detected that feeling of being touched again."

Lu Fang was silent. How powerful would an existence whose entire body's organs could develop intelligence be?

And because of the Demon Heart, he would definitely have a conflict with 'Punishment'.

It would be impossible to say he wasn't worried.

He had also thought about this situation before, facing 'Punishment' directly, but he didn't expect this matter to happen so quickly.

This caught him off guard.

Demon Heart: "Don't worry, I can sense that it's not all of 'Punishment'. I guess it's some organ or something like me. It's only been ten-plus years; it should be unable to completely leave that place."

Lu Fang thought thoughtfully, "That is to say, the breath we sensed just now is only a part of 'Punishment'?"

"Yes." Demon Heart: "Although I know you have great guard against me, I still have to tell you, while that part of the breath is not strong, try to kill it."

"Are you trying to get me to take the initiative to find the breath of 'Punishment'?"

Lu Fang frowned.

Demon Heart: "I am sure the breath I sensed is only a very small part of 'Punishment'. If you take this opportunity to find it and let me absorb it, then both you and I can become stronger."

"Conversely, if you ignore it, that part of the breath may become stronger, because according to the time calculation, that breath should have come to this place after me."

"I guess it hasn't fully recovered its due strength yet."

"Now is the best time."

"As long as 'Punishment' can leave that place, it will definitely have a conflict with you. If you don't hurry up and become stronger, it will be bad for both you and me."

"Even if you take a step back and say that 'Punishment' will take a very long time to leave there and won't meet you at all, but after the breath we sensed just now becomes stronger, it will think about becoming stronger and come to find me to absorb me."

Lu Fang frowned tightly, "You mean, I should seize the opportunity and kill... absorb it while that breath hasn't fully recovered its due strength?"

"Yes." Demon Heart sighed, "I know you are very cautious, especially the words spoken by me. Think about it yourself. If I were you, I could really go and see the situation."

"If you really feel it's not working at that time, it's too risky for you, you can still retreat."

"You can't be timid because of your fear of me. This is a very bad idea."

Lu Fang smiled coldly, "You really think highly of yourself. What do I have to fear about you? I told you before, don't use words to control my actions."

He wasn't a fool either.

Even if he couldn't feel the Demon Heart's little calculations, although he didn't know which sentence it said was true and which was false.

But Lu Fang could still keenly sense the Demon Heart; it wanted him to go and find that breath.

Demon Heart: "Lord Wenguan, you are a smart person. Decide for yourself."

Lu Fang had an answer in his heart anyway, but he didn't want to analyze it with the Demon Heart. He now understood why someone as powerful as 'Punishment' would also fear the Demon Heart and use some method to wipe out its intelligence.

Every time this Demon Heart speaks, it has a kind of subconsciousness that controls people.

You have to guess what it says. After all, it is an existence that is there at any time. Even if you have certain restrictions on it, you will more or less consider what it says.

If Lu Fang had a secret method to wipe out the Demon Heart's intelligence, he wouldn't have any hesitation. Listening to it speak, his heart was too tired.

While Lu Fang was thinking about things, Yue You, who was on the side, took out a sound transmission talisman and listened for a while, revealing a smile, "Lord Wenguan, the scouts in front reported that the people in front are not small forces with bad intentions."

"It is the special envoy sent by the Luo Sha Kingdom to welcome us. The reason why the movement was a bit big is because, during this recent period, an extremely evil small force appeared in the scorched earth region."

"So the Luo Sha Kingdom sent people to wipe out that small force."

"A large number of troops were dispatched, so the movement was a bit big. The special envoy of the Luo Sha Kingdom came with a team of elite troops."

"Is it the special envoy sent to welcome us? Are you sure?" Lu Fang asked with concern.

Yue You nodded, "Sure."

In a short while.

Under the tremor of the earth, a team of armored troops appeared in the distance, with as many as a thousand people, including Luo Sha and ghost cultivators, basically composed of these two types.

This team did not stay but hurried towards the depths of the scorched earth region.

It was also at this time that the special envoy sent by the Luo Sha Kingdom to welcome them came out. Lu Fang was stunned when he saw Shui Yao walking over in grand attire. He didn't expect it to be her. After confirming that she was really the special envoy, he greeted, "I didn't expect it to be you."

Shui Yao smiled, "Princess Xue told me that the special envoy from the Great Zhou was you, so she asked me to come and welcome you."

After a brief conversation, the two sat in the same carriage and headed towards the Luo Sha Kingdom.

Shui Yao sighed, "As expected of the Great Zhou's Lord Wenguan. It hasn't been long since we last met, and you are already a Sixth-Rank Second-Stage Scholarly Adept."

Lu Fang nodded with a smile, "Just a bit of good luck. By the way, I saw the Luo Sha Kingdom sending troops just now. Was it to wipe out an evil force?"

Shui Yao responded solemnly and explained, "Three years ago, in the depths of the scorched earth region, a quite large force rose up. This force was full of evil, but it had always been honestly staying in a remote place before."

"This year, a change occurred. This force called 'Evil Tiger' began to expand its power extremely quickly. Anyone who didn't submit would be killed."

"And from time to time, they came to the edge of the Luo Sha Kingdom, ignoring the national rules of the Luo Sha Kingdom, and attacked the civilians of the Luo Sha Kingdom."

Lu Fang asked suspiciously, "This force is so blatant, aren't they afraid of being surrounded and wiped out by the Luo Sha Kingdom? Where did their confidence come from?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Yao was a bit angry, "I heard that this 'Evil Tiger' force has the shadow of exotic races in it. There is evidence that the two have connections."

"As for their confidence, the depths of the scorched earth region are very large. It is a very difficult thing to completely pull out this force by the roots." ===== CHAPTER 167 =====
