But before he could think any further,
Hong Yuan grabbed him back out of thin air in the very next second.
The Law of Strength transformed into a Great Dao whip and lashed directly at Luohu.
"Crack!"
The Law of Strength was like razor-sharp blades drilling straight into his Primordial Spirit. Every lash that landed on Luohu drew a muffled roar from him.
"Argh!"
At that moment, Luohu seemed to see Pangu's shadow in Hong Yuan.
Back then, Pangu had done the same, hacking wildly at him with unstoppable force.
But the only difference was that Pangu had used an axe.
Hong Yuan, meanwhile, wielded a whip.
"Damn it!"
It was not as though Luohu had not tried to resist.
But just as he was about to activate his treasure,
Hong Yuan merely willed it, and a massive millstone abruptly appeared behind him.
The instant the millstone appeared,
just a faint trace of its aura
made Luohu's treasure seem as though its flame had gone out, rendering it completely impossible to activate.
Meanwhile, when Yang Mei saw the millstone appear, he could not help swallowing.
Why was it this Great Fiend weapon?
Good heavens, Fellow Daoist Hong Yuan was being far too cruel.
Yet at the same time, Yang Mei could not help feeling envious.
He had never expected Pangu to leave the World-Destroying Millstone to Fellow Daoist Hong Yuan.
What he did not know was that the World-Destroying Millstone had originally been bestowed upon Hong Yuan by the Great Dao.
Pangu had merely borrowed it before.
After Luohu's treasure became useless,
he began resisting with his own Mana.
But unfortunately, his current strength was far inferior to Hong Yuan's.
Even though he had once been the renowned Demon God of Demons, it made no difference.
He was like a doll, freely toyed with by Hong Yuan.
Yet the more this happened, the more fiercely Luohu's rage surged.
Hong Yuan could clearly destroy him with a mere wave of his hand.
But Hong Yuan did not do so.
Instead, he used a long whip formed from the Law of Strength to lash him.
This was simply going too far!
"Hong Yuan! If you have the guts, just destroy this ancestor directly! What is this supposed to be? Humiliating me?!"
Hearing this, Hong Yuan's hand paused. He looked at Luohu in surprise and said, "Luohu, what are you even thinking? Isn't it obvious that I'm humiliating you?"
"Pfft!" Yang Mei could no longer hold it in.
Hearing Yang Mei's laughter, Luohu was filled with hatred.
If he had not fallen before,
would a mere Primordial Golden Immortal like Hong Yuan dare bully him like this?
A tiger fallen to the plains was bullied by dogs!
If they were still in Chaos,
someone with Hong Yuan's strength could be wiped out in droves with a single breath from him!
But then he suddenly remembered that Pangu seemed to be Hong Yuan's elder brother.
Oh. Never mind, then.
At this point, Hong Yuan finally stopped.
Luohu immediately let out a sigh of relief.
Although Hong Yuan had not truly intended to kill him, the whip formed from the Law of Strength really hurt.
Even he could not withstand that pain which struck directly at his Primordial Spirit.
But he would remember this grudge.
He, Luohu, would definitely have his revenge. When the time came, he would hang Hong Yuan up and whip him!
He would whip him for one or two Kalpas before letting him go.
Just then, Hong Yuan seemed to vaguely sense Luohu's thoughts. Smiling at Luohu, he spoke calmly, "Fellow Daoist Luohu, I seem to sense that you have some very bold ideas."
"Why not tell me about them? As an old friend, I'll definitely help you out!"
Luohu did not respond. He merely snorted coldly before returning to his World-Destroying Black Lotus.
"Speak. Hong Yuan, Yang Mei, I presume neither of you came all the way to my Mount Sumeru for no reason. What exactly do you want?"
Hong Yuan spread his hands and looked at Luohu with surprise. "Nothing. We just came to visit an old friend."
The moment Hong Yuan said this, an incomparably pure, towering surge of demonic aura erupted from Luohu.
"Hong Yuan, are you toying with me?!"
"How am I toying with you? It's the truth. If you don't believe me, ask Yang Mei. If your mouth hadn't been so foul, I wouldn't even have bothered beating you up!"
Yang Mei also spoke up at this time. "Fellow Daoist Luohu, you misunderstand. We truly intended to travel through the Primordial Wilderness. We happened to discover your aura, so we came to see you."
Luohu looked at Yang Mei's exceptionally sincere old face and immediately fell silent.
So he had stayed home and gotten beaten up for absolutely no reason?
Wasn't this bullying an honest man?!
Seeing Luohu's sour expression, Hong Yuan took a step toward him.
Luohu instinctively shrank his neck back.
"Hong Yuan, what are you doing?!"
Yet there was a slight lack of confidence in his tone.
Hong Yuan smiled. "Relax, I'm not going to hit you. I just wanted to ask, as the host, do you not have anything to offer when guests arrive? I've been talking for so long that my throat is dry."
Only then did Luohu relax.
But he quickly felt embarrassed and annoyed by his earlier panic.
He had actually been afraid!
Damn it, what would others think of him if this got out?
Though he dearly wished to throw Hong Yuan and Yang Mei out at once,
his strength was inferior, so Luohu could only forcibly swallow his anger.
After snorting coldly, he waved his hand and brought out some of the treasures he had collected over the years.
Though he had never entered the world, there were fortunately quite a few Spiritual Plants and Spiritual Fruits within his Dojo.
Using them to entertain Hong Yuan and Yang Mei would not be too discourteous.
At the same time, two Lotus Platforms appeared before him.
Hong Yuan was quite satisfied with Luohu's behavior.
Although Luohu's expression still looked unpleasant, Hong Yuan did not fuss over it.
After all, for someone with Luohu's temperament, being able to do this was already quite rare.
Hong Yuan then slowly took a seat upon one of the Lotus Platforms.
Seeing this, Yang Mei smiled and landed on the other Lotus Platform.
At that moment, Hong Yuan spoke. "Luohu, you know that I have already met Causality, Hun Peng, Five Elements, and the others. I once asked them what they thought of this Primordial Wilderness, and their answers satisfied me. But there is one person whom I have always kept in mind. Do you know who that is?"
At those words, Luohu's brows immediately furrowed.
Given Hong Yuan's temperament, there was no need for him to tell Luohu such things.
Since he had brought it up this time, it proved that this person was closely connected to him.
Either that person was his enemy, or it was Luohu himself.
After hesitating for a moment, Luohu slowly asked, "Me?"
Hong Yuan smiled. "Dealing with smart people really is easy. Yes, it's you!"
"You are different from Causality and the others. They generally do not cause trouble, but you are different. Your temper is far too foul!"
Luohu's face instantly darkened.
Damn it, no matter how foul his temper was, could it compare to Hong Yuan's?
Without a word, Hong Yuan had come straight to his door and whipped him.
How good could Hong Yuan's temper possibly be?
Before Luohu could respond, Hong Yuan continued, "The Primordial Wilderness was created by my elder brother. As his younger brother, I naturally have to help him look after it. You know that I bear no grudge against any of you. In fact, I rather like your temperament. I would naturally be glad to have a few old friends in the Primordial Wilderness to chat with when there is nothing else to do, so I do not object to your presence here."
"Of course, that is provided you do not have too great an impact on the Primordial Wilderness. What do you think?"
