Chapter 469 - 222: Hunting (Part 2)
To ensure that the Space Mage wouldn’t betray him, Lu Hong made him swear a Heavenly God oath for an hour.
"What having a son without an anus means, doing anything threatening his own life would rot his lineage," etc., were all forced out of the mage by Lu Hong.
Finally, under the mage’s resentful gaze, Lu Hong retracted his hand from the mage’s neck and withdrew his Heavenly God descended state.
"Come, come, get up, from now on we are friends," Lu Hong said with a smile, helping the mage up. "You’re safe now, when you return to the city later, I trust you know what to do."
The Space Mage gave a wry smile, "Do you really intend to make a move on the Heavenly God trialists?"
"They aim to seize the Heavenly Child Command; they should be aware of the consequences."
"Aren’t you afraid of being hunted down by all of Heavenly God’s path?" According to the task Lu Hong gave him, he had to lure batches of strong individuals into this mountain range, using the gifted communication devices to secretly provide Lu Hong with their location and eventually lead Lu Hong to eliminate them one by one.
"Why would Heavenly God’s path hunt me down?" Lu Hong shook his head, unconcerned.
"Now is a critical time; if you slaughter too many of Heavenly God’s strong ones, those more righteous people might not be able to restrain themselves from making a move on you," the Space Mage detailed the current occupation of the Heavenly God’s path by invaders.
After hearing the lengthy explanation, Lu Hong fell into brief contemplation. An invasion was not necessarily a bad thing for Lu Hong, but he had not yet passed the fourth level and he was currently hesitant to try, as there was a city built outside the fourth level, inhabited by numerous trialists; without the deterrence of the temple, they might unite and attack Lu Hong. As it stood, passing the fourth level seemed impractical.
