I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 202: Pressure as Heavy as a Mountain

After dealing with the matters of the Wolf God, Yu Huaifeng's mood slightly stabilized.

Afterwards, he continued to handle the affairs of the Treasure Conference.

For the current Mermaid Kingdom, the Treasure Conference still ranked as the most important event.

The Treasure Conference, held once every twelve years, cannot afford to have any mistakes.

Coming in second place is the matter of the Moluo Sword Master.

Lord went to the ancestral temple for worship. Nowadays, Yu Huaifeng is responsible for organizing the arrangements for the Treasure Conference, which can be said to be extremely busy.

However, just as the night fell, Yu Huaifeng raised his head from various trivial matters of the Treasure Conference and planned to take a walk in the courtyard, when the sound of water outside the door surged again.

Someone had come.

Yu Huaifeng looked up and found that it was the subordinate responsible for delivering the message of the Wolf God.

Seeing this subordinate in a hurry, Yu Huaifeng's heart suddenly sank… Was there another problem?

Despite this, Yu Huaifeng remained calm on the surface.

He walked up to the door nonchalantly and asked, "What's the matter?"

The Mermaid didn't dare to delay and handed over the new jade scroll quickly.

Yu Huaifeng took the jade scroll and his face immediately changed.

The message in the jade scroll wasn't complicated, but it struck Yu Huaifeng like a bolt from the blue.

After Luo Yujun's departure, Wuqi Country's lord personally led the group to visit the Wolf God in his temple.

A simple message, but it revealed incredibly dreadful intelligence.

The sudden arrival of Wuqi Country, was it also aimed at the Wolf God?!

However, Wuqi Country is a dependent tribe of Candle Dragon, and has always refrained from interfering in external affairs. Therefore, whenever Wuqi Country moves outside, its actions can represent Candle Dragon…

Now that Wuqi Country has come for the Wolf God, doesn't it imply that even the ancient monster Candle Dragon has come to help the Wolf God?

Furthermore, considering that both of them are ancient existences from the past…

The Wolf God, surprisingly, is a close friend of Candle Dragon? Did they know each other during ancient times?

Hmm…

Yu Huaifeng was completely bewildered.

This news is so shocking that he couldn't maintain his composure.

Besides the notorious name of Candle Dragon, the peculiar temper of the old demon is also well-known. No one has ever heard of someone who can enter his magic eyes or qualify to be his friend.

The only qualified one fell and died in the ancient times, and turned into a mountain range.

But this Candle Dragon, who has such an infamous temper, is actually a good friend of the Wolf God?

This information is more terrifying than anything Hanhai Department or Luo Yujun supporting the Wolf God.

Although Hanhai Department and Luo Yujun are powerful, they may not necessarily be in conflict with the Mermaid Kingdom… Even if there is a conflict, it will not be to the point of no return.

However, the ancient monster Candle Dragon always does as he pleases and seeks revenge for even the slightest offense. If he is truly provoked, it will be a never-ending trouble!

With the pressure from all four sides - the Wolf God, Candle Dragon, the Li Tribe, and the immortal kingdom - Yu Huaifeng suddenly lost his composure.

He immediately walked outside with a serious expression.

"Hurry and invite the Prime Minister to come here to oversee the affairs of the Treasure Conference. I am going to the ancestral temple to see the lord! I won't be able to come back for now!"

Yu Huaifeng looked anxious, and because of his command, the Mermaid Kingdom once again shook.

The sudden change in personnel authority was enough to affect the already eerie atmosphere of the underwater city.

However, these things have nothing to do with Lu Heng at the moment.

As Yu Huaifeng hurriedly rushed to the ancestral temple, Lu Heng bid farewell to the Lord of Wuqi Country.

At first, Lu Heng was surprised by the visit of the Lord of Wuqi Country. After the conversation ended, he was somewhat amused and bemused.

The conversation with the Lord of Wuqi Country wasn't particularly long, but Lu Heng understood the karma quite well.

After the conclusion of the Dragon Falling Mountains debate, Candle Dragon (Zhu Jiuyin) took a jog around the estate, spreading the word to all the subordinates of the clan that he had formed an acquaintance with two dearest friends.

One is Lu Heng, the Wolf God of Hanyu mountain, who cultivates the Heavenly Thunder and possesses a divine power.

The other is Jiu Mie, a wandering old ascetic cultivator who has gone through the hardships of the mortal world and possesses profound cultivation.

Candle Dragon has conveyed the message that everyone must treat these two close friends with respect and cannot be negligent when meeting them.

Therefore, after Wuqi Country learned about the news of the Wolf God's arrival in the South Sea, they kept a close eye on any information related to Lu Heng. Before Lu Heng searched for the Erba God Man, not only did the South Sea countries help to search under Luo Yujun's leadership, but Wuqi Country also devoted national efforts to search for the sixteen old monsters in secret.

Later, the news that Lu Heng had rescued his friend and exterminated the Erba God Man was spread, and Wuqi Country ceased its search.

However, shortly thereafter, there was intelligence from the Mermaid Kingdom that the Wolf God might be in conflict with them.

When Lu Heng left Fan Jie Mountain, the Mermaid Kingdom became aware of his arrival and Wuqi Country received intelligence, and promptly rushed towards the Mermaid Kingdom.

Their purpose was to serve the Wolf God when a conflict arose between Lu Heng and the Mermaid Kingdom…

The Wuqi Country's lord was extremely respectful, while Lu Heng sighed slightly.

It turned out that Wuqi Country really was after him…

However, since the Candle Dragon didn't come, this should be considered good news.

Based on Lu Heng's understanding of the Candle Dragon, it was better that it didn't come. If it did come, it might have ended up in a fight with the Mermaid Kingdom…

When a real fight breaks out, it is hard to tell whether it is a blessing or a curse.

Lu Heng still leans towards a peaceful resolution to this matter, but if peace is impossible, he will consider other means.

After bidding farewell to the Lord of Wuqi Country, Wenren Bumie, Lu Heng's small courtyard returned to tranquility.

However, Lu Heng knew that with the arrival and departure of the Lord of Wuqi Country, within the Mermaid Kingdom, it is likely that the opposite of peace and quiet of his small courtyard will prevail tonight.

But for Lu Heng, this is a good thing.

Smilingly, Lu Heng said to Xiao Ai, "Xiao Ai, your worries are unfounded. I bet we will definitely be able to meet the Lord of the Mermaid Kingdom tomorrow."

Lu Heng's words made Xiao Ai purse her lips.

The little girl glanced at the Mermaid Kingdom's court not far away and said, "At this point, if we still can't see Miss Huo, either everyone in the Mermaid Kingdom is stupid… or they're really powerful, powerful enough to be invincible."

"Unfortunately, from what we can see now, they are neither stupid nor powerful enough to be invincible. So, apart from fulfilling their promise, they have no other choice."

The little girl's straightforward comment made Lu Heng laugh and say, "Yes, it's this merciless speaking style. When I'm not suitable to speak next, Xiao Ai, you can remember this and timely step forward to mediate for me."

Lu Heng's words made Xiao Ai blush.

"It's… it's not merciless…"

The little girl murmured softly with a tinge of resentment.

Lu Heng chuckled heartily, remarking, "I never said that you were unkind… I simply find it necessary to express the occasional bit of sardonic humor."

"One cannot always be benevolent in this world. Sometimes, excessive kindness can prove to be a hindrance."

"The notion of 'deceiving the sage and the worthy' is such a cultivate."

"Therefore, we ought to demonstrate a certain ferocity on select occasions."
