Chapter 230 - 217 Demon King Yan
After leaving the Parson realm, Lu Hong had four things to do. First, find Lando and obtain the Hellfire. Second, go to the Great Snow Mountain at the center of the Nansha Great Forest, where the Ancestor Dragon was imprisoned, to acquire its blood.
Third, communicate with the Golden Lion. Cui Xi should have left the wilderness with Eferot back then; she still had a ghost stream, rumored to be an item that allowed deceased souls to enter the underworld. Lu Hong was not sure if Nono’s soul had already departed, but he felt he had to try.
Fourth, ascend the tower at Hanguguan Pass from within the ranks of the Snow Tribe’s million-man army to retrieve Nono’s body and give it a proper burial.
Faced with Lando, Lu Hong did not hide his plans and laid them out openly.
"Are you sure that this ’Heavenly God Descending’ can heal your injuries?" Lando had never heard of the Heavenly God Descending and remained skeptical.
"I’m sure. You just need to fetch the magic fire from Hell for me. That shouldn’t be difficult, right?" Lu Hong said, "Consider it a favor I owe you."
Lando embraced Lu Hong with a gentle laugh, "I’m already very happy that you came to find me. Hellfire is commonplace in the higher realms of Hell, no effort at all."
"I’m only worried about your last step," Lando sighed. "The northern army has recently failed dozens of attempts to breach Hanguguan Pass over the past month. They’ve lost morale and barely have any fighting strength. Successfully retrieving the queen’s body from such an army is harder than reaching the heavens."
"I don’t need their help. I can do it alone," Lu Hong said calmly, "Even if I fail, I am willing to die beside Nono."
"My little man, can’t you consider my feelings for once?! You disappeared for five years without a trace—I sent countless followers to search for you incessantly, yet you never appeared. Now that you’re back, you want me to watch you go to your death again. How can I bear it?" Lando scolded softly, like a resentful wife.
