Luohu Takes a Disciple

"I need your help," Chu Feng said.

Upon hearing this, Luohu's lips curled into a half-smile, and he said indifferently, "You don't come here without a reason. Tell me, which confidante are you here for this time?"

Chu Feng was immediately a little embarrassed and coughed lightly, "It's not what you think. It's Ming He; his cultivation has hit a bottleneck, and I wanted to ask you..."

"Let me preach to her?"

Luohu interrupted him, "You certainly know how to order people around. Looking across the Primordial World, when it comes to the art of war, who can compare to me? What are your intentions in asking me to teach her?"

A strong smell of jealousy filled the air.

Chu Feng smiled wryly. He knew Luohu's personality: arrogant and domineering.

Chu Feng chuckled, then said sincerely, "It's precisely because no one can compare to you that I've come to you for help. If she can break through, it will be of great benefit to me. Consider it a favor I owe you."

Luohu snorted coldly, slowly raising her jade hand. A wisp of demonic energy condensed in her palm, instantly transforming into a figure identical to her, but with a slightly weaker aura.

"A Quasi-Saint is not worthy of my true body's presence. This avatar possesses one-tenth of my power and insights, which is sufficient."

As soon as he finished speaking, the avatar transformed into a streak of black light and instantly disappeared into Chu Feng's brow.

After bidding farewell to Luohu, Chu Feng had a sudden thought and returned to the palace.

He looked at the respectfully standing Ming He and said, "I have found a friend who can resolve your doubts."

Ming He was puzzled. Her own path was so unique, and who in the Primordial World was qualified to guide her?

However, out of absolute trust in Chu Feng, she did not ask any further questions, and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Chu."

Chu Feng smiled slightly and said no more.

With a thought, the Chaos Green Lotus appeared out of thin air, setting up a restriction to shield the Heavenly secrets.

After doing all this, a flash of light appeared between his brows, and Luohu's black-clad avatar quietly appeared before Ming He.

The moment it appeared, a terrifying aura of killing intent instantly enveloped the entire hall.

The Sea of Blood killing intent that the Ming He was so proud of was as insignificant as a stream meeting a vast ocean in the face of this aura.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly, her Dao heart trembled violently, and she almost knelt down on the spot, asking in horror, "Fellow Daoist Chu, who... who is this person?"

Luohu's avatar looked around, his gaze landing on Ming He with a hint of disdain.

She parted her red lips slightly and uttered two words: "I am Luohu."

Upon hearing this, Ming He was struck dumb, his mind going completely blank.

Demon Ancestor Luohu?

Who was the first demon who vied with Dao Ancestor Hongjun for the position of the ruler of heaven and earth, and ultimately perished?

She... she's still alive?!

If this news gets out, it will cause a massive upheaval throughout the entire Primordial World!

Chu Feng spoke up at the opportune moment, "If even a single word of what happened today is leaked, you will be annihilated, body and soul. Understand?"

Ming He jolted awake, instantly regaining his senses. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, saying, "Ming He understands! Thank you, Senior Chu! Thank you, Senior Demon Ancestor!"

At this moment, besides shock, she was filled with overwhelming joy.

If there is anyone in this world most qualified to guide her in Prove Dao through killing, then there is no one else but the one before her!

Luohu seemed quite satisfied with her reaction, and said calmly, "Get up. Tell me what's puzzling you, and let me see just how ridiculous your so-called ' Prove Dao through killing ' really is."

Upon hearing this, Ming He was not angry at all; on the contrary, he became even more respectful.

She stood up and recounted how she had spent years in seclusion in the Sea of Blood, constantly slaying the vengeful spirits and evil ghosts within, yet was unable to break through.

After listening, Luohu let out a cold laugh filled with utter sarcasm, "Someone like you dares to claim to Prove Dao through killing?"

Ming He's face turned pale, and he lowered his head in shame, not daring to utter a single rebuttal.

Tell me, what is the true meaning of killing?

Luohu stood with his hands behind his back. "Is it to hide in your own territory and slaughter those vengeful spirits who have no power to resist? That is the act of a coward!"

True killing is going against the will of Heaven, severing cause and effect, and fighting for a sliver of life amidst immeasurable calamity!

"You've been in seclusion for years, never entering the mortal world, never touching the aura of calamity. You've only killed a bunch of rootless and baseless souls. How could you possibly comprehend the Great Dao of Slaughter?"

As Luohu spoke, each word hitting the heart of the matter, Ming He's eyes first showed confusion, then shock, and finally, ecstasy and enlightenment.

With just a few words, Luohu pinpointed the crux of her problem.

"I see, I see!"

I was wrong, I was wrong from the very beginning!

Ming He murmured to himself, then bowed respectfully to Luohu: "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Demon Ancestor. Ming He... is deeply grateful!"

"Not bad, very well, I will preach to you for a hundred years." Luohu said softly.

For the next hundred years, Luohu's incarnation remained, expounding the way of killing and conquest to the Ming He.

A century later, Ming He's aura surged. Although he had not yet broken through, his path to enlightenment was clear, and a breakthrough was just around the corner.

After the sermon ended, Ming He came before Chu Feng and bowed solemnly. "Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Chu for your life-saving grace. Ming He has no way to repay you."

From this day forward, Ming He is willing to be her maid, serving her faithfully, even unto death!

She understood that if it weren't for Chu Feng, she would never have had the chance to meet the Demon Ancestor in this lifetime, let alone receive such guidance.

Upon hearing this, Luohu's avatar smiled meaningfully, looked at the Ming He, and slowly said, "Your talent is not bad, and your temperament is also acceptable. I may take you as my disciple."

Ming He was taken aback at first, then overwhelmed with joy. Without hesitation, he turned to Luohu and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple Ming He greets Master!"

"Very good."

Luohu nodded in satisfaction, helped Ming He up, glanced at Chu Feng out of the corner of his eye, and said to Ming He, "From now on, you will continue to stay by his side. Report to me immediately if anything happens."

Ming He was immediately shocked, looking at Chu Feng in astonishment, then at his master, at a loss for what to do.

"Hey! Miss Luo, this is going too far! Planting spies right in front of me?" Chu Feng finally couldn't help but complain.

Luohu gave him a cold look. "What, you have a problem with that?"

Chu Feng sighed helplessly and shrugged, "How could I dare to have any objections?"

"You're smart to know what's good for you."

Luohu snorted with satisfaction, glanced at Chu Feng, and then transformed into specks of black light, dissipating into the air, leaving only a faint voice echoing in the hall.

"Don't forget, you owe me a favor: you must stay with me for a thousand years, never getting out of bed."

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng's eyes widened.

Holy crap!

Millions of years?

Is she crazy?

Ming He, standing to the side, sneered, looking on with amusement.

"What are you laughing at? If you keep laughing, don't blame me for teaching you a lesson!"

Upon hearing Ming He, Styx's beautiful eyes lit up, and she became interested. "Oh? Fellow Daoist Chu, how do you intend to teach me a lesson?"

At this point, she puffed out her chest. "Aren't you afraid I'll tell on you to Master?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng smiled wickedly, raised his hand, grabbed Ming He, and slapped her on the buttocks.

"Ah!"

"Dare to threaten me? I'll teach you a lesson today!" Chu Feng said, putting her down and adding, "Go cultivate."

Ming He, left with no other option, slunk away.

At the same time, the system's voice rang in Chu Feng's mind...

Have all the requests for updates stopped lately?
