Chapter 367 Being a hero isn't so easy!!!

"If we forcibly detain him now, given his personality, it will definitely leave a huge shadow in his heart."

"Once he develops inner demons, he will never be able to break through to sainthood in this lifetime."

"Do you want to destroy him?"

The Sage of Azure Cloud finished speaking calmly.

And as soon as these words were spoken...

The old men in the room also fell silent, their expressions complicated.

Heart demon.

That was the nightmare of all Martial Venerable experts.

To break through to the Martial Venerable level, forge an unparalleled golden body, and become a Martial Saint, one must first eliminate one's inner demons.

The strength of one's inner demons is not only related to whether or not one can break through.

It is also related to the life of a martial artist.

Once the inner demons turn against you.

Then even if you are as powerful as a Martial Venerable, you can only perish.

This is the danger of inner demons.

Beneath Mount Buzhou, countless Martial Venerable experts cultivate day and night, battling their inner demons.

This is also the main reason why the Shangguan family, despite exhausting their wealth, was unable to find a Martial Venerable.

One reason is that Martial Venerable experts look down on the things belonging to the Shangguan family.

The main reason is still the Martial Venerable level...

They are all fighting against their inner demons.

Therefore, the strongest beings in the outside world are only at the Emperor level.

A Venerable-level being will not appear!

Here, someone will definitely ask.

Why would the Heavenly Wolf Demon Lord of the Demon Clan cause trouble outside?

There may even be other demon lords besides them.

Actually, it's quite simple.

Everything is about the unique advantages that the demon race possesses.

While the demon race is indeed no match for the human race in terms of cultivation speed, it is superior in terms of longevity and childlike innocence; many demons do not actually have inner demons.

And naturally, they will not be disturbed by inner demons.

"But……"

The old man with the cane was still unwilling to give up.

"Qingyun, you can also see that this child has such monstrous talent. Given time, he will surely be able to carry the banner of humanity."

"What if he's specifically targeted and ambushed by the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan during his trip to the southwest?"

"If something really happens, how are we going to explain it to Luo Gucheng when he comes back?"

The old man with the cane's concerns were not unfounded.

The demon race has always been eager to eliminate human geniuses.

The appearance of a nine-star Martial Emperor in his twenties on the battlefield would definitely attract a frenzied attack from the demon race's high command.

How could Lu Chuan possibly stand against the frenzied encirclement and suppression by the demon race's high-ranking officials all by himself?

Ultimately, they can only perish.

However, the Azure Cloud Sage's gaze was deep as he looked towards the southwest.

Don't worry.

"Xiang Meng is already in the southwest."

"He'll step in when it counts."

These words were spoken.

The old men were shocked once again.

Xiang Meng made a move?

Xiang Meng is a saint!

If a saint were to participate in the battle, it would mean that saint-level power had intervened in this war in the southwest.

The demon race and demon saints will definitely not stand idly by when the time comes.

Total War.

It might be about to explode completely.

The consequences are simply unimaginable.

……

the other side.

high in the air.

Lu Chuan transformed into a streak of crimson light and was flying at full speed.

Just as they broke out of the area of ​​Buzhou Mountain, an extremely terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the sky.

boom.

It was the oppressive aura of the sage that enveloped the area surrounding Mount Buzhou.

Lu Chuan frowned, frantically circulating his Reverse Blood Remnant Life Technique within his body, preparing to withstand the attack head-on.

But in the next second.

The terrifying pressure suddenly receded like a tide.

Only a faint trace remained, too weak for even an ordinary martial artist to suppress.

Lu Chuan's figure suddenly stopped in mid-air.

He stopped above the clouds and looked back at the towering Buzhou Mountain behind him.

I understand it perfectly well.

It was those old guys on the mountain who secretly helped him reduce the oppressive aura.

Otherwise, given his current level of cultivation...

If you want to break through, you'll have to suffer a lot.

However, Lu Chuan showed no gratitude whatsoever.

Instead, he spat and sneered at the ground.

"Pooh."

"Why are you pretending to be a good person now?"

"They have the ability but don't go down to rescue people; they hide in the mountains like cowards."

"A bunch of cowards who cling to life!"

Lu Chuan cursed inwardly.

He is now utterly disappointed with these so-called saints.

What do you mean by "considering the big picture"?

What's too much involved?

That's all bullshit.

In Lu Chuan's view, what kind of saint is someone who doesn't even dare to save his own compatriots?

What qualifications does he have to be a saint?

One day, I will definitely come and smash this Buzhou Mountain.

Think no more.

His inner energy erupted once again without reservation.

"boom!"

The speed increased again.

The true essence of the Nine-Star Martial Emperor has made him many times faster than before.

The sound of the wind in my ears had turned into a sharp sonic boom.

……

Half a day later.

Lu Chuan finally flew out of the Taklamakan Desert.

The yellow sand behind him stretched into the distance, but it was getting further and further away from him.

Not far directly in front of Lu Chuan, there appeared an ancient city in the Western Regions.

He concealed his breathing.

They landed outside the city gate.

He needs to buy the latest map.

He came out of the Hundred Thousand Mile Mountain by relying on the secret passage of the Silver Moon Wolf Clan.

That passage must have been closed long ago.

He wanted to return to the southwest, and the only way was to do so in the most primitive way.

Cross over.

Braving a mountain range stretching for tens of thousands of miles!

He knew nothing about the Western Regions, and couldn't even distinguish between east, west, south, and north, so he needed a map.

Step into the ancient city.

The atmosphere in the city was unusually tense.

The martial artists on the street hurried along, each with an uneasy expression on their face.

Lu Chuan walked into a shop selling general merchandise.

"Boss, give me the most detailed map of the outer perimeter of the Ten Thousand Mile Mountain Range."

Lu Chuan shouted.

The boss was a thin, old man who glanced at Lu Chuan.

He immediately sensed the lingering, intense murderous aura emanating from Lu Chuan, and shuddered in fright.

"Guest...sir."

Are you going to the mountains that stretch for tens of thousands of miles?

The boss stammered.

"Um."

"Stop talking nonsense and get the map."

Lu Chuan had no interest in chatting with him.

The shopkeeper quickly pulled out a sheepskin scroll from under the counter and handed it to Lu Chuan.

"Sir, let me give you a piece of advice."

"It's impossible to go to those mountains now."

"I heard that there's been a huge uproar in the southwest. The demons in the mountains have all gone mad and are killing anyone they see."

"If you go now, you're just sending yourself to your death."

The boss kindly reminded him.

It seems that many more martial artists from the Western Regions will be crossing over here in the near future.

Lu Chuan was unaware of all this.

After taking the map and putting down the money, he turned and left.

After leaving the shop, I unfolded the map and briefly checked the direction of the southwest area.

next moment.

"Bang!"

The bluestone slab beneath Lu Chuan's feet shattered instantly.

He soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light, and plunged straight into the direction of the 100,000-mile-long mountain range.

After he left, the surrounding streets immediately began to buzz with discussion.

"They've gone again, they've gone again. Another martial artist is heading to the southwest."

"Sigh... These martial artists are usually arrogant and domineering, which makes them unpleasant, but I never expected that they would be the ones to help in this crucial moment."

"What's the point of going there?"

"The Ten Thousand Mile Mountain Range is so terrifying that not just anyone can cross it. It is said that even the Martial Emperor would die if he went in."

"They are all heroes."

Some people wept tears of regret.

Since the Shangguan family left Wuji City, many martial artists have tried to cross the 100,000-mile mountain range, but all of them have perished.

Many people, even those who had just entered the vast mountains, were torn apart by the monsters within.

It was incredibly tragic.

Even so, martial artists continued to flock to the front lines.

How can we prevent these people from sighing?

"Mother, I want to learn martial arts too."

A young child in the crowd shouted,

"I want to be like them, saving people from suffering. I want to be a great hero too."

Everyone remained silent.

hero.

It's not that easy to be a boss!
