Erica returned to the main topic with a perplexed expression on her face.
My Master dislikes going out and meeting strangers. If someone goes to Mount Lu to bother her, they will only receive a beating.
Lu Yinghua shook his head and said.
In the past, the Sword King Salvatore, a battle maniac, went to Mount Lu to challenge Luo Hao, but was beaten to death and thrown into the sea.
Now, even with Salvatore's personality, he wouldn't dare to set foot in China again.
This was clearly evident.
However, my Master, after all, is from the previous era. She is the Leader of the Culto Sagrado de las Cinco Montañas, an elderly woman, so this invitation to the new King probably has good intentions.
It is well known that being a protector is almost a common trait in everyone.
And Luo Hao, born at the end of the Qianlong period, probably had the idea of meeting a young person.
However, God Slayers are mostly arrogant. None of us know what the leader of the sect, Luo Hao, is really thinking.
Erica, however, didn't believe it.
But we'll only know when we leave. After all, I'm just a messenger.
Lu Yinghua's face showed bitterness; who knew what his Master was thinking in her head.
But no matter what, given Luo Hao's arrogant personality, there would inevitably be a conflict at Mount Lu when the time came.
Although there was no obligatory reason for God Slayers to fight each other, the bellicose genes buried deep in their bones would not remain latent.
A fight would be a minor matter.
Lu Yinghua now only hoped that the impact of his subsequent battle would be a little smaller.
After saying goodbye to Alice, who was still pressuring the Council of Sages, Kaido, Erica, Liliana, and Lu Yinghua set off once again on their journey to Mount Lu in China.
Mount Lu is also known as Kuangshan or Kuanglu.
Its geological landscape is unique, with high mountains and water currents, waterfalls and forests, and even glacial erosion. Among them, the majestic and beautiful fault of Mount Lu stands out.
Before Kaido transmigrated, he had visited Mount Lu once.
The landscape was beautiful and truly lived up to the description of the ancient classic poem: "One cannot truly know the true face of Mount Lu".
However, Mount Lu in this world, as Luo Hao's residence, could no longer be a tourist attraction with many visitors. Only Luo Hao and those she allowed to ascend the mountain.
Otherwise, unauthorized intruders would be devoured by countless carnivorous plants cultivated by Luo Hao's authority, leaving no bones behind.
"You two stay at the foot of the mountain for now; I'll go up alone".
Kaido said to Erica and Liliana.
These two fifteen-year-old knights really took care of their daily lives, but it wasn't suitable to bring them to this meeting with Luo Hao.
"Understood, Your Majesty, please be careful."
Erica and Liliana expressed their concerns and good wishes.
And Liliana, who had initially been a bit cautious with Kaido, gradually accepted Kaido's management and developed a considerable liking for this young Oriental who was several years older than her.
Ladies, please follow me. I've already prepared a place for you to rest.
Lu Yinghua bowed and said.
As they left, Kaido also set off alone on the rugged mountain road that stretched to the top.
Originally, he thought he would encounter difficulties or trials halfway up the mountain, but he didn't expect the road to be completely clear. The carnivorous plants didn't even move, allowing Kaido to arrive at the only temple on Mount Lu.
"Come in."
Before seeing the person, he heard her voice first, a voice as beautiful as the moonlight.
Kaido didn't hesitate; he pushed the door directly and the surrounding temperature dropped significantly.
Then he saw a young woman standing under a snowy pine tree.
Using the word "incomparable" to describe the young woman in front of him was completely correct. Her skin, exposed under the hem of her hanfu skirt, was as clear as coagulated fat. Her long black hair was braided into two buns, adorned with pink decorations that looked like lotus flowers.
Two long braids, tied with red ribbons, fell over her shoulders.
She held a paper umbrella embroidered with peach flowers, her tall and elegant figure stood under a snowy pine tree.
I'm glad you came as promised. Tell me your name, fellow God Slayer.
The frost melted before he could reach her. Luo Hao looked at Kaido, her beautiful crimson lips parted slightly.
"I think it's more polite to introduce oneself before asking someone's name, don't you agree?"
Kaido suppressed his evaluation of Luo Hao as "quite pretty" and smiled slightly.
It was understandable why Luo Hao was considered the most formidable demon.
And Kaido, also a God Slayer, could feel even more of Luo Hao.
The wave of magical power, like ocean waves, was contained in this small body in front of him. If it were unleashed, the entire Mount Lu would disappear in an instant.
Under her beauty, a majesty and a chilly pressure were hidden.
When the God Slayers met, the confrontation had already begun.
In short, in the first round, one couldn't lose in terms of aura, or else one would be passive everywhere.
—What a slippery tongue, but you're not wrong. It was a mistake on my part not to introduce myself immediately.
The impressive black-haired young woman spoke with an aura that dominated the world.
My surname is Luo, my given name is Cuilian, and my courtesy name is Hao. I am the Leader of the Culto Sagrado de las Cinco Montañas, who reigns at the top of martial arts. Remember my name firmly and engrave it deeply in your memory.
"My name is Kaido, a God Slayer".
His introduction was very simple.
Kaido? A good man should have great ambitions. Come with me. As a host, I cannot let my guest stand all the time.
Luo Hao led Kaido to the guest room of the temple.
The space was not very large, and there were no modern appliances anywhere.
It seemed that the rumors were true: Luo Hao really disliked modern technology.
Even the electric lights were replaced with some oil lamps.
Then the two sat face to face at a small table.
Luo Hao moved her slender hand, serving a cup of tea for herself and for Kaido.
A faint aroma of tea reached them.
"You're quite different from what the rumors say".
Kaido took a sip of tea and said with a slight surprise.
Hmph! If you were a rude and arrogant mortal, I would condemn you to death immediately. But since you're a king of my same rank, and also my subordinate, isn't it natural in the martial world that an elder takes care of a subordinate?
"There are also many cases in the martial world where elders incriminate the young, aren't there?"
Kaido often saw this kind of plot in TV dramas and novels.
Luo Hao looked at Kaido with a disdainful gaze.
Don't compare me to people who are so nearsighted. And although you have bad intentions, as I, Luo Cuilian, am an authoritarian king, I will defeat you with honor through martial arts.
Luo Cuilian despised those petty plans and traps.
As a hegemon and king, doing such things would be a great insult.
If it weren't Kaido who was questioning her at that moment, but someone else, like Marquise Voban or Salvatore, how could Luo Hao have the kindness to sit down and drink tea with them? She would have slapped them a long time ago and started a fight.
Without attacking him, Luo Hao seemed to genuinely consider him as her junior and gave him the proper courtesy.
From this perspective, Luo Hao was quite charming.
"Very well, then what is your purpose in inviting me here this time?"
—Kaido asked.
"I've heard a couple of things about what you've done since you became a God Slayer".
Luo Hao also took a sip of tea.
As an elder, I must praise and encourage your courage to be ambitious and face the Heretic Gods alone. Throughout history, countless people have tried to annihilate the gods, but only a few have succeeded.
"Should I say 'thank you' now?" Kaido had thought about it a lot before, but didn't expect Luo Hao to be really so boring.
"Naturally."
Luo Hao nodded slightly, apparently not catching the sarcasm in Kaido's words.
Moreover, your act of accepting servants is also worthy of praise. Did I hear that you snatched a woman from the hands of the Demon King of Eastern Europe? And did you do the same in Western Europe?
Do you mean Liliana and Alice? To be precise, we didn't kidnap them; they came of their own free will.
Kaido said.
Hmph~~ Although you're a new King, you act with considerable audacity. This older sister appreciates it very much. However, the strength of your opponent has surpassed your ability to resist. If you ask this older sister for help, she might be able to lend you a hand.
Luo Hao's voice sounded more stable than before.
Kaido wasn't sure if he heard wrong, but there was a hint of mockery in it.
"What do you mean?"
Kaido pretended not to hear her taking advantage of him again.
Leaving aside the Demon King of Western Europe, the Demon King of Eastern Europe, Voban, is my enemy, your older sister's. He's not a person with an open mind. Since my younger brother snatched his woman and hurt his pride, he will surely seek revenge in the future.
Luo Hao said with indifference.
"Can you endure it then?"
In fact, as Luo Hao said, the Marquise Voban of Eastern Europe is the oldest living God Slayer and the one with the most authority today. His use of authority surpasses that of common God Slayers, and he even has the power to kill gods for fun.
If the Black Prince Alec were added to the mix, and these two joined forces to bother Kaido, it would indeed be difficult for him to resist them with his current strength.
However, even if they came, with his strength after killing a god, along with the help of his team to kill gods, he wouldn't necessarily lose against two God Slayers at the same time.
Kaido smiled and shook his head: "No one can predict the future, but a man cannot say that he cannot do it".
Moreover, the strength of a God Slayer is not measured by the mere number of authorities. Otherwise, Marquise Voban would not have become your enemy, but your master.
When Kaido said these words, Luo Hao, instead of getting angry at the teasing, showed a smile of approval.
It was a mistake on my part. I thought this would scare you, but instead, you deceived me. I appreciate you more and more, compatriot.
Luo Hao controlled her playful behavior and her aura instantly became incredibly sharp.
The strength between God Slayers cannot be judged by the number of authorities.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have become the sworn enemy of Marquise Voban.
"Being appreciated by a beautiful young woman like you is an affirmation of me as a man".
Kaido laughed, but in his heart, he wondered if Luo Hao's mind was structured differently from that of ordinary people.
And Luo Hao's subsequent actions demonstrated this point even more.
Ah, yes? I accept your praise, Luo Hao.
Luo Hao accepted the compliment of "beautiful young woman" magnanimously and then revealed a charming smile.
How old are you this year?
Twenty-one. Why do you ask?
Kaido raised an eyebrow.
Very well. Since you're younger than me, from today on, we'll become sworn sisters. I allow you to call me "Older Sister".
