Chapter 1175 Encounter Luo Heng Again

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Chu Jun looked up and his entire body trembled.

This soldier was tall and upright. Although he looked quite handsome, his face was as cold as frost. His gaze was also so cold that he didn't have the slightest bit of emotion. It was surprisingly Luo Heng.

Luo Heng glanced at Chu Jun and cupped his fists. "Lord Wei, six people died, three were seriously injured, and 32 were lightly injured."

Wei Sheng waved his hand and said impatiently, "If you die, you will be buried. If you are injured, you will be treated. There is no need to report the casualties to this old man in the future. You can retreat. Don't prevent this old man from talking to Lord Han."

These soldiers were only cannon fodder that the Divine Hall had captured from the lower realms. Wei Sheng naturally didn't care about their lives. In any case, a mere 1,000 people wouldn't be of much help. Moreover, after the insecticidal competition ended, these people wouldn't be under his control.

Luo Heng expressionlessly retreated. Chu Jun's heart was filled with mixed emotions as he watched Luo Heng walk away.

Wei Sheng noticed that Chu Jun seemed to be interested in Luo Heng. He smiled flatteringly and said, "This fellow's name is Luo Heng. Although he is only at the early stage of Concentration, he is only a formidable sword cultivator. He has reached at least the fifth level of the Sword Heart. The middle stage of Concentration may not be his match. Seeing that he has some ability, I let him be the leader and take charge of the Thousand Soldiers."

Chu Jun chuckled. Wei Sheng's smile towards Chu Jun was still a shadow. He couldn't help but secretly beat a drum in his heart. He thought that Chu Jun was after his Azure Dragon Disk, but he saw that Chu Jun had taken out a small bronze bell from his spatial ring. It was the Heavenly Curtain Bell that he had extorted from him that day.

Wei Sheng looked at Chu Jun in confusion and said embarrassedly, "Fellow Daoist Han, is this …?"

Chu Jun stuffed the Heavenly Curtain Bell into Wei Sheng's hand and said with a generous expression, "I have always been a kind person. This time, Brother Wei has injured an eighth grade Intermediate Grade Magic Treasure. Let this Heavenly Curtain Bell be used as compensation for you!"

Wei Sheng couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Has the sun risen from the west? This black-hearted little yellow face actually spat out what he had eaten. It really felt like he was dreaming.

Wei Sheng held the Heavenly Curtain Bell in his hand and probed doubtfully, "Fellow Daoist Han, are you really … giving the Heavenly Curtain Bell to this old man?"

Chu Jun's expression changed as he said, "Of course, could it still be fake?"

Wei Sheng finally believed that Chu Jun had indeed returned the Heavenly Curtain Bell to him. He couldn't help but be overjoyed as he flattered him with a face full of joy, "Fellow Daoist Han is indeed generous and righteous. This old man is extremely impressed."

Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh inwardly. He was indeed quite generous to his own people, but Wei Sheng wasn't one of them. The reason why Wei Sheng returned the Eighth Stage Intermediate Heavenly Screen to him was naturally to increase Wei Sheng's combat strength. There were still nearly three months left. The stronger Wei Sheng's combat strength, the greater it would be for him.

"Fellow Daoist Wei, I'm quite optimistic about Luo Heng. Why don't you give him to me?" Chu Jun said with a smile.

Wei Sheng couldn't help but secretly curse. He expected that this fellow wouldn't return the Heavenly Curtain Bell to him in vain. It turned out that he wanted Luo Heng.

Although Luo Heng's combat strength is strong, compared to a mid-tier eighth-grade defensive magic treasure, Wei Sheng naturally thinks that he has made a lot of money. He laughs and says, "This Luo Heng's combat strength is very strong, and he has a good army. This old man also thinks highly of him. However, since Fellow Daoist Han asks for it, this old man can only bear to part with it."

"Endure the pain, your sister!" Chu Jun couldn't help but curse the old traitor, but he said, "Haha, then thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei."

Wei Sheng turned around and shouted, "Luo Heng, come over here for a moment."

Luo Heng frowned slightly and walked over from the troop. He coldly said, "Sir Wei, do you have any instructions?"

Wei Sheng said indifferently, "This Lord Han thinks highly of you. In the future, you should follow Lord Han!"

Luo Heng expressionlessly looked at Chu Jun and cupped his hands slightly. "This subordinate greets Lord Han."

Chu Jun smiled and nodded. At this moment, Cloud Falcon walked over. He was holding a bag of insect cores that had been distributed to Wei Sheng in his hand and was about to report it to Chu Jun. However, when he saw Luo Heng standing there, he immediately revealed an excited expression and blurted out, "Luo Heng!"

Luo Heng clearly recognized the Cloud Falcon as well, his icy cold emotions warming slightly as he said, "Cloud Falcon!"

Luo Heng and Heng Jian were both called the Chu Clan's Twin Swords. Everyone in the Chu Army's four banners knew each other. Moreover, Cloud Falcon was also from the Imperial East Banner. He had met Luo Heng and Fan Jian back then.

Cloud Falcon was overjoyed. "So Brother Heng also knows me, Cloud Chicken. Haha, I'm so happy!"

Chu Jun looked at Wei Sheng with a suspicious expression and pretended to be surprised, "So they actually knew each other. What a coincidence!"

Wei Sheng nodded and said, "These subordinates were captured from the lower realms. The two of them had known each other since they were in the lower realms. It was indeed quite a coincidence!"

Cloud Falcon instantly woke up. Chu Jun had instructed him not to reveal his identity. He immediately suppressed his excitement and said to Luo Heng, "Brother Heng, I'll reunite with you later." After saying that, he turned to Chu Jun and presented the bag of insect cores to Chu Jun. He shouted, "Lord Han, this is 20% of today's harvest of insect cores!"

Chu Jun took the bag and handed it to Wei Sheng. He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Wei, this is your portion. Do you want some?"

Wei Sheng took the bag and swept it with his divine sense. Then he smiled and said, "There's no need to bother. Fellow Daoist Han's credit is trustworthy!"

Chu Jun laughed heartily and patted Wei Sheng's shoulder. "Good cooperation. Fellow Daoist Wei, go back and rest first. Tomorrow, we will set out to find the king-class insect nest to attack."

Wei Sheng left happily with nearly 20,000 insect cores in his hands. The harvest this day was several times more than the sum of his previous days. Although he only took 20%, if he continued at this speed, he might even enter the top 50 by the end of the competition. Was this a blessing in disguise?

Although Wei Sheng's strength was in the top five hundred on the King's List, But the chances of winning the top 200 of the insecticidal competition are slim, Therefore, he did not wish to become an Emperor level follower. He only wanted to avoid this year's insecticidal mission. However, it was different now. He had only been following Chu Jun for a day and had already exterminated a King level nest. If he exterminated another two, even if he only took 20%, he would definitely be able to enter the top 200 of the Grand Competition. He was qualified to become an Emperor level follower.

When Wei Sheng thought of the possibility of receiving Emperor-level help and guidance, his heart couldn't help but heat up. He felt his entire body full of energy. He had long forgotten that he had been forced to cooperate by Chu Jun's Soul Transformation Curse. He wished he could immediately attack another King-level insect nest.

Chu Jun watched Wei Sheng walk away before turning to Luo Heng and Cloud Falcon and saying, "Follow me!"

Inside the tent, Chu Jun waved his hand to set up the two layers of spirit formation before he regained his original appearance.

Seeing Chu Jun appear in front of him, Luo Heng, who had always been indifferent, was incomparably excited, and his cold eyes seemed to have melted.

The two of them stretched out their arms and hugged each other tightly. They looked at each other and smiled.

"It is indeed you. I suspected it when I first saw the World Tree!" Luo Heng said excitedly.

Chu Jun nodded and said, "We brothers meet again."

"I originally planned to escape a few days ago, but I'm not familiar with the environment here, so I've been holding back. Fortunately, I didn't leave!" Luo Heng said happily.

Chu Jun's expression changed as he asked, "Is there anyone else in your Thousand-man Team?"

Luo Heng's expression darkened. He shook his head and said, "No, but the bitch and Little Snow were also captured with me. At that time, we were taken away separately. I wonder where they were taken!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but be shocked as he said, "They should be amongst the three million soldiers participating in the Insect Killing Tournament. Don't worry, I will definitely find them … Who else?"

Luo Heng naturally guessed what Chu Jun was worried about. "Boss, I'm very sorry. After the calamity, Nine Continents City has already turned into ruins. Incense Lee ordered me and Fan Jianbing to split up and gather the surviving cultivators in Nine Continents City. However, at that time, a group of Golden-armored God Race suddenly appeared and killed them. In a hurry, Incense Lee ordered everyone to flee and meet up in Beast-controlling City."

Chu Jun couldn't help but clench his fists. He remembered that when he left for the Demon Realm that year, he had specifically instructed Li Xiangjun to go to the Immortal Tower to seek help from the Ancestor of Three Lives if something big happened to her. She definitely wanted everyone to gather in the Beast-controlling City to seek refuge in the Immortal Tower.

"I was escaping south with a group of people. Those golden-armored divine beings were as fast as you. We were unable to escape at all. Soon, we were scattered. Most of them died. Only a small number escaped. I was one of them!" Luo Heng said with an ice-cold expression.

Chu Jun's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He clenched his fists tightly and asked, "Did they … escape?"

Luo Heng's cold eyes flashed with a trace of sadness as he said, "I don't know. The situation was very chaotic at that time. Everyone fled to the west and east. I only saw Incense Master Li and Xiao Yuyi fleeing north. There was a group of golden-armored gods chasing after them. General Tao and Ning Yun went to Chongming Continent to search for their families before the golden-armored gods appeared. Ding also went to Mount Jun alone."

At this moment, Chu Jun wished he could return to the Mortal Realm immediately. He asked in a deep voice, "Then what happened afterwards?"

Luo Heng no longer looked as cold as ice at this moment. He seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past two years. He said softly, "I didn't know where I was after escaping by luck. Heaven and earth collapsed everywhere, and the landscape changed too much. Moreover, the God Race killed cultivators all over the world. I found a secret place to hide for several months before escaping the God Race's pursuit …"

"When I came out of my hiding place, the entire world was dead silent. There was not a single person within tens of thousands of kilometers. I don't know if Beast-controlling City is still there or not. I just flew towards the southeast, but the Realm River no longer exists. Many places have sunk into the vast ocean. Not to mention Beast-controlling City, even Chongming Continent can't be found."

Cloudfalcon's eyes turned red when he heard this. He had also experienced this terrible calamity personally. Facing that strange world, he even thought that he was the only survivor left in the entire world, living alone.

"I've been wandering around for the past two years, searching for the location of Beast Taming City. Unfortunately, it's all in vain!" Luo Heng said dejectedly.
