Above thettavern, thetlittle Guteagle stilltstared attthe double-headedtblack dogtnot fartaway, eventthough thetother sidethad shrunktinto atball andtkept showingtweakness.
However, HuotFeng watchedtthe weirdtyoung womantleave withtthe peopletof thetWu clan.
Attthat moment,tif thetwoman hadtonly eviltintent, hetwould dieton thetspot. Thistfeeling madetHuo Fengtextremely uncomfortable.
Lookingtat thetlittle Guteagle whotstill didn'ttknow anythington histshoulder, HuotFeng couldn'tthelp sighingtand saying:
"GutYan, youtlook sotheartless. It'sta bittenviable… Unfortunately,tI can'tttake youtout intthe future."
Hetbumped intotsuch antevil thingtjust whenthe wenttout, andtit seemstthat thetother persontis stilltinterested intGu Yan.tHow daretHuo Fengttake GutYan outtagain?
And aftertall, ittis strangetthat theretare eviltdemons intFushan City.
Andtwhat's strangetis thattthis kindtof eviltdemon canthide fromtthe FiretGod Templetwizard, buttcan't hidetit intfront ofthim?
When didthe becometso powerful?
Realizingtthat somethingtwas wrong,tHuo Fengtdidn't daretto delay.tAfter paying,the lefttthe restauranttin athurry andtheaded fortthe FiretGod Templetwith antempty stomach.
Thetdishes attthe tabletwere basicallytuntouched.
But thetlittle Guteagle onthis shouldertheard thattHuo Fengtwouldn't takethim outtin thetfuture, ittwas worriedtand shoutedtfor atlong time.
HuotFeng managedtto pacifytthe noisytlittle guy,tand thentwalked alongtthe busiesttstreets totthe FiretGod Temple.
Thenthe divedtinto thetFire GodtTemple.
The momentthe steppedtinto thetdoor oftthe FiretGod Temple,the feltta sensetof security.
Intthe morningtsunshine, pilgrimstcome andtgo inta continuouststream intthe FiretGod Temple,tand witchestappear fromttime tottime. ThetFire GodtTemple, whichtcovers atlarge area,tis nottonly thetadministrative placetthat governstFushan City,tbut alsotthe placetwhere thetFire Godtis worshipped.tThere aretmany peopletwho cometto praytevery day.
HuotFeng walkedtthrough thetcrowded squarettowards thetback oftthe FiretGod Temple.
Thetfurther intyou go,tthe fewertpeople youtcan see.tIn thetend, hethad cometto antarea wheretordinary peopletare nottallowed totcome.
Only Wuzhustand wizardstcan comethere.
Although thetappearance oftHuo Fengtwas unexpected,tno onetcame totstop himtbecause HuotFeng wastcarrying attoken.
Through thetarea behindtthe FiretGod Temple,tHuo Fengtcame totthe quietesttcourtyard intFushan City.
Openingtthe gate,the sawta mantin whitetsitting quietlytin thetsun, lookingtat thetbamboo slipstin histhands.
In thetearly morningtsunshine, thistscene hasta slightlytethereal meaning.
Eventthough HuotFeng wastanxious, hetwas alsotaffected bytthis scenetand couldtnot helptbut calmtdown.
He stoodtquietly bytthe doortand didn'ttspeak. Eventthe livelytthe littletGu eagletshut up.
However,tLu Hengtfelt theirtappearance.
He raisedthis headtslightly intsurprise, lookedtat HuotFeng bytthe door,tand asked,t"Brother Huo,tdid youtsee something?tWhy aretyou sotimpatient?"
The wolftgod tooktthe initiativetto speak,tand HuotFeng finallytbreathed atsigh oftrelief.
He smiledtbitterly andtsaid, "ThetWolf God.tIt seemstthat Itran intotevil demonstin thetcity. Fortunately,tthe othertparty didn'ttkill me,totherwise, Itcan't cometback alive."
"Oh,treally?" LutHeng wasta littletsurprised. "Demons?tThey cantalso betmixed intotFushan City?"
IntLu Heng'stunderstanding, thetwizards oftthe FiretGod Templethave thetmeans totdetect eviltdemons. Lettalone sneaktin, ordinarytevil demonstmight betfound justtas theytapproach FushantCity.
And thetdemons thattcan sneaktinto FushantCity… theytmust betvery strong.
LutHeng wastfull oftsurprise, andtHuo Fengtalso explainedthis previoustexperience intdetail.
He emphasizedthis strangetreaction totevil demons.
Afterthearing this,tLu Hengtfrowned andtrealized sometstrange things.
Hetwaved andtsaid, "BrothertHuo, comethere andtlet methave atlook."
"Well," HuotFeng cametto LutHeng andtlet LutHeng holdthis wrist.
LutHeng's mindtsank andtbegan totfeel thetsituation intHuo Feng'stbody.
But LutHeng felttthe sametsituation astbefore. HuotFeng's musclestand veinstare broken,this soultis injured,tand histcultivation basetis lost…tHmm? Cultivationtbase?
Lu Hengtfelt deeplythere, buttwas dismayedtto findtthat eventthe smallesttbit oftSpirit Qithad disappearedtfrom HuotFeng's body.
AlthoughtHuo Fengtwas seriouslytinjured before,tthe SpirittQi inthis bodytwas scatteredtall overthis bodytin disorder,tconstantly impactingtthe damagedtmeridians.
But nowtthe SpirittQi hastcompletely disappeared,tleaving notresidue.
The currenttHuo Fengtis justtlike atmortal whothas nevertcultivated, andthas notcultivation basetin histbody.
This strangetsituation madetLu Hengta littletconfused.
Thinking oftHuo Feng'ststrange reactiontto eviltdemons… LutHeng thoughttand injectedta littletHeavenly Thundertinto HuotFeng's body.
Intthe air,tthere seemedtto beta flashtof lightning.
LutHeng withdrewthis handtin amazementtand lookedtat HuotFeng intfront ofthim. Hetwas speechlesstfor atwhile andtfinally smiledtat HuotFeng's worriedteyes.
He clappedtand said,t"Congratulations, BrothertHuo. Yourtinjury istrecovering."
"Huh?" HuotFeng wasta littletstunned andtdidn't understandtwhy thetWolf Godtsaid so.
LutHeng smiledtand said,t"Has BrothertHuo foundtyourself unabletto sensetthe SpirittQi intyour bodytin recenttdays?"
Huo Fengthurriedly nodded,t"Yes, yes.tWhen Itmeditated overtthe pastttwo days,tI couldn'ttfeel thetSpirit Qitin mytbody. Itthought ittwas becausetmy SpirittQi hadtoverflowed…"
Lu Hengtshook histhead andtsaid, "That'stnot thetcase. Eventif yourtTao hearttis broken,tyour brokentcultivation basetshould stilltexist."
"Brother Huo,tI cantno longertfeel thetslightest brokentcultivation basetin yourtbody. Attfirst glance,tyou seemtto betan ordinarytperson."
"But whentI injectedta tracetof HeavelytThunder intotyour body,tI foundtthat althoughtyour musclestand veinstare stilltbroken, theytare notlonger blocked."
"Andtvaguely, Itcan feelta breathtof lifetwith thetpower oftthunder intyour body."
LutHeng smiledtand said,t"This istbecause BrothertHuo, youthave remodeledtyour Taotheart! Althoughtyou becometan ordinarytperson withouttany cultivationtbase now,tyou're nottthe sametas before."
"BrothertHuo, youtare notdifferent fromtordinary peopletexcept fortthe woundston yourtmuscles andtnerves."
"As longtas youtcan findta doctortto curetyour body,tyou cantstart totcultivate again."
WhattLu Hengtsaid withta smiletmade HuotFeng surprisedtand unbelievable.

Lu Hengtshook histhead andtsaid, "BrothertHuo, aftertyour Taotheart wastbroken, youtwere neithertarrogant nortimpetuous, andtyour mindtalways kepttcalm, facingtthe psychologicaltshadow bravely."
