Chapter 49: Earthly Disaster

In the sword furnace, Li Po met the old priest of the Attacking Wind Department.

Facing this venerable old man, he did not dare to show any disrespect and treated him as a junior, saying, "Old man, it's been a long time."

The old man sitting next to the fireworks smiled and raised his hand to signal Li Po to sit down.

"This girl Qianqian must have already told you about the Wolf God. With such a loud-voiced girl explaining it, I won't waste any time talking."

The old priest said, looking at Qianqian outside the door, and said, "When you go to the mountain to visit Miss Ai, tell her that the priest of the Hanhai Department has arrived and is waiting in the mountain. If the Wolf God comes out of seclusion, please let her know."

"Okay, I'm leaving then. Goodbye Grandpa Li Po," the girl waved with a smile and left with cheerful steps.

As the girl left, the sword furnace temporarily became quiet. Only the suspended red flame in the center of the sword furnace emits an astonishing heat wave.

Li Po sat down opposite the old man, and after watching Qianqian leave, he asked, "Is that Miss Ai... really resurrected from the dead?"

Li Po still couldn't believe that someone in this world could really come back to life.

But the old priest nodded with a serious expression, "When we found her, she had been out of breath for more than half an hour. She was indeed dead. It was the wolf god in the mountain who saved her. However, the wolf god admitted that this matter was very draining to him. It’s quite big, I’m afraid we won’t be able to replicate similar miracles in the future.”

Li Po nodded in agreement, "The cost of doing such a defiant thing must be huge. If you say there are no restrictions, it would be unbelievable."

"It's just that the wolf god is so extraordinary. Old man, have you ever guessed his origin? When I asked Qianqian, the little girl knew nothing. But old man, you are the living fossil of the nine tribes of our Li tribe, and you are well-informed. , maybe you have some guesses in your mind?”

Li Po's question made the old priest silent for a long time.

After a while, beside the blazing fire, the old man slowly spoke.

"Seventeen years ago, the nine tribes gathered in the Holy Mountain, and the Holy Lady gave a revelation. It was predicted that the nine tribes of the Li tribe would face an unprecedented catastrophe. If they could not survive, the tribe would be destroyed."

"And the one who destroys our clan is the Lord of Disasters. He is the one who sends disasters and punishments, brings disasters, and causes chaos in the world."

"When I first arrived at Hanyu Mountain, I saw the scene of the Wolf God envoy Tian Lei in the mountain, and subconsciously thought of the saint's prophecy. There was a faint worry in my heart - could it be that the disaster that destroyed the nine tribes of our Li tribe The Lord is this Hanyu Mountain God?”

When the old man said this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's just that in the subsequent contact, I temporarily gave up this worry."

"The wolf god in this mountain is noble and has a great mind. He is definitely not the lord of disasters that brings disaster to the world."

"But although I have some guesses about the origin of His roots, I dare not make any judgments, let alone tell the truth."

"Because this kind of existence appears in the world, it must have a profound mission. If you make wild guesses and peep into the secrets of heaven, it's better to be wrong. If you accidentally get it wrong and reveal the secrets of heaven, old man, I am afraid that my soul will return to the Holy Mountain early. "

The old priest's words made Li Po frown.

"So serious?" Seeing the old priest's cautious expression, he realized the danger of this trip.

The old priest thought for a while and then said, "But there are some things I can tell you. After all, if you want to see the Wolf God, you must have some confidence in your heart."

"It's just that you can't say everything and everything can't be revealed. Even if you guess something, you can never reveal it with your mouth. You can only bury it in your heart."

"Okay!" Li Po nodded heavily and saluted with a serious expression, "Please let me clarify my doubts."

Li Po saluted solemnly, but the old man beside the fire fell into silence, seeming to be talking.

After a while, the old man said slowly.

"Three years ago, in the wilderness of the northern border of Huotong Country, I encountered the strange beast Ba Snake."

"That ferocious beast was cunning and cruel, and our troops were trapped in a deep stream for half a month. Finally, a vast beast roar suddenly came from the East China Sea, accompanied by a violent storm, which scared away the snake, and our troops were able to escape. Get out intact."

"And the direction from which the vast beast roar came seems to be the rumored Liubo Mountain."

The old priest said this with a serious expression, "You need to know that after the catastrophe of the world, the ancient mythical beasts have hidden themselves in the world, the mountain spirits and monsters are lurking in the wilderness, and the gods of incense and fire hardly appear in front of people, and the order of humanity has just been established."

"However, starting seventeen years ago, the Saint suddenly received the revelation from her ancestors and predicted the coming of the Lord of Disaster."

"Then the Ba Snake, which had disappeared for many years, wreaked havoc, and Liubo Mountain appeared in the world."

"Now, in this remote Hanyu Mountain, such an extraordinary wolf god has appeared..."

The old priest shook his head and said, "These things seem to have no connection, but if you look into it more deeply, I'm afraid it may be a sign of something very bad."

"As the priest of the Hanhai Tribe, you need to be careful when leading your tribe and protecting your tribe. If you fail to cast the Mountain-Splitting Sea-Splitting Sword successfully this time, don't travel around again in the future."

"The world today seems peaceful on the surface, but secretly there may be a turbulent undercurrent. There may be a disaster one day. You must protect your people to live up to your position as a priest."

The old man's words were not harsh, nor did he mean to criticize or admonish him too much. He just simply had a heart-to-heart with this young man who was once astonishingly talented.

But Li Po saluted with a serious expression and bowed deeply, "Thank you, old man, for the advice. Li Po made a note of it in his mind."

The old man accepted this gift and sighed slightly in his heart.

The priest in front of him was once the most brilliant young man among the nine tribes of the Li people. If it weren't for what happened to his wife, this young man would definitely be able to go further.

Now that he finally has the hope of forging the sword that splits mountains and breaks seas and rescues his wife, he can see the eagerness in Li Po's heart.

But there are some things that the old man didn't say clearly.

If there is really a chaos in the world and another catastrophe in the mortal world, the netherworld sea under the Cangwu Abyss will probably not be quiet.

And Li Po's wife who was suppressed in the netherworld sea, I'm afraid...

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but sighed. I just hope that this trip can successfully obtain the Tianlei Sand given by the Wolf God, so that Li Po can rescue his wife in time.

Thinking of this, the old man looked out the door.

But Qianqian ran in happily, smiling, and said, "Grandpa Li Ju, Xiao Ai said that the Wolf God already knows that Grandpa Li Po is coming, and is waiting in the mountains. We can just go into the mountains to pay him a visit, no need to wait."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, Li Po stood up with a bang, his expression excited, "Really?"

Although he had prepared himself mentally, he couldn't help but get excited when he heard the news.

For two hundred years of separation from his wife, he suffered day and night. Now that he finally saw the dawn of hope, Li Po could no longer hold back his emotions and asked hurriedly.

"Grandpa, are we going now?"

The old man smiled bitterly and nodded, saying, "If I say wait a little longer, I'm afraid you will be anxious to death... Let's go, don't keep the Wolf God waiting for too long."
