After the fifteenth day of the first month, an esteemed guest arrived at Lu Family s gate.

When Lu Haoran saw this person, he smiled and cupped his hands, "What wind blew Brother Li here?"

His name was Li Wenying, and he was a good brother that Lu Haoran had known since he first came into the martial arts world. Li Wenying replied, "This time, I won't come unless I have something to discuss!"

Lu Haoran quickly invited him into the hall and asked, "Brother Li, you have always been busy with important matters. What exactly is the matter that brought you here specifically?"

"I'm here to deliver the Hero's Invitation to Brother Lu." With that, Li Wenying took out a red leather invitation from his pocket.

"Hero invitation?" Lu Haoran took it and opened it.

It turned out that Heaven Vanishing Valley Valley Lord was holding a hero conference, inviting all the heroes of the world to attend.

"Valley Head Hu truly thinks highly of me. How could I possibly live up to the word 'hero'?"

"Brother Lu Xian, you're too modest. Gentleman's Blade and Lu Haoran have some reputation in the martial arts world. Who else can be worthy of your title?"

When Lu Haoran heard Li Wenying praise him like this, he felt a little embarrassed. He asked with a smile, "Brother Li, do you know why Valley Master Hu wants to hold the Hero Assembly this time?"

"About this …" I only know that Heaven Vanishing Valley has invited the heroes of the realm, and the eighteen sects of the nine sects all came. It seems like they are gathered to discuss the major matters of the martial arts world.

"So mysterious?"

"Hahaha!" Only mystery is interesting! Isn't Brother Lu curious? "

"Brother Li …" Your curiosity is still as strong as ever! "

Li Wenying laughed and patted Lu Haoran's shoulder and said: "You can't change your nature! Wen Ying has come this time to accompany Brother Lu. I wonder how Brother Lu would like to go about it? "

"Very good."

"Satisfying!" Li Wenying patted Lu Haoran's shoulder again and laughed out loud.

Lu Haoran rubbed his shoulder and let out a bitter laugh. He thought that Li Wenying could lift a cauldron with just one hand and didn't even know how to lift it normally. It really hurt after being patted a few times by him. Thinking of this, he said, "I'm treating Brother Li to a drink at the Xuan Yue Tower, so I'll take it as a welcome reception!"

Li Wenying was naturally happy when he heard that there was alcohol to drink. He slapped Lu Haoran's back again, causing Lu Haoran to stagger forward half a step and almost vomit blood.

Lu Haoran shook his head as he steadied his breath.

Sigh! Why can't Brother Li fix this problem?

Heaven Vanishing Valley? Heroes

Everyone knew that Heaven Vanishing Valley was a place that could never be entered, but people inside the valley had never seen any outsiders casually entering. The location of the Heaven Vanishing Valley was extremely dangerous. There were more than a dozen natural barriers around fifty kilometers outside the valley.

Since the creation of the Heaven Vanishing Valley, only one person could come uninvited, and this person would be over a hundred years old if he was alive.

Lu Haoran and Li Wenying both handed over invitations at a reception outside the valley. Only after each person received a identity token, did they qualify to enter Heaven Vanishing Valley's territory.

Putting aside the rugged and steep mountain road, the Heaven Vanishing Valley's scenery was indeed quite enchanting. The guide seemed to understand the guest's mood and didn't walk quickly, allowing Lu Haoran to admire the beautiful scenery along the way.

As he walked, he observed and soon reached the valley. The previously quiet and secluded scenery was replaced by a crowd of people.

The number of guests invited to this Hero Assembly is indeed numerous!

Heaven Vanishing Valley's gathering place was on a patch of grass within the valley. On the left side, the thin water of a spring flew down from the rock wall and converged in the middle of a clear spring. On the right was a magnificent forest of peach blossoms. The peach blossoms had just bloomed in March, and the fragrance of the pink was pleasant to the ear. A stage was temporarily set up on the lawn to serve as the main venue. On the stage sat the leaders of the four major sects. The other owner was also the Lord of Heaven Vanishing Valley, Hu Heng.

Hu Heng raised his hand to signal silence, and sat down. Eldest disciple Zhang Shuo cleared his throat and started the conversation.

Although their martial arts were not worthy of praise in the martial arts world, they still knew how to combine the elements of heaven and earth to fight the enemy. In the several large scale battles of the positive and evil, they had always helped Wu Lin gain an advantage in the correct path, so they were still able to shake the people on the right path.

The Heaven Vanishing Valley must have a reason for convening the Hero Assembly, or at least Lu Haoran had this kind of feeling.

But if it wasn't so, then he quickly got to the main topic at hand. He only saw the disciples of the Heaven Vanishing Valley bringing a woman who was tied up by all sorts of bundles to the stage.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this.

This woman was as beautiful as a fairy, with peach blossom eyes, willow leaf eyebrows, hibiscus cheeks, and cherry lips. Her eyes narrowed slightly, her blinking eyes looked very pitiful, and only caused the heroes in the audience to sigh in their hearts. They didn't know how to treat a beauty like this, so how could such a beautiful woman be treated in such a manner?

However, before the crowd could reprimand him, Hu Heng revealed a shocking piece of inside information that caused everyone's gaze to change from pity to surprise. Hu Heng said: "This woman is the Green Isolated Palace Enchantress!"

When everyone heard the two words "Green Isolated Palace", all their tender feelings for the fairer sex were thrown to the back of their minds, leaving behind only naked anger and hatred.

Hu Heng continued: "This time, I've captured the Green Isolated Palace of the witch, because it concerns all the people in the world, she doesn't dare to act without authorization. She summoned the heroes of each continent to discuss a strategy, and see how they can execute her."

The woman only looked at the crowd when she heard her words. Her gaze swept over them in a calm and desperate manner. Finally, she lowered her head and closed her eyes, completely ignoring the expressions of the people below the stage.

Hu Heng said to the Beggar Clan leader: "The Beggar Clan is the best gang in the world, I wonder what kind of opinion Sect Leader Zhu has?"

He lightly knocked on the ground with a dog beating stick and said, "Green Isolated Palace is a demonic sect, and now, we can't let go of any lucky disciples with Green Isolated Palace. If we can convince this woman to bring us to annihilate our Green Isolated Palace in one go, it would be a great disaster for Wu Lin!

Hu Heng nodded his head in agreement: "Sect Leader Zhu's thoughts coincide with Hu, but this woman's tone is very tight. I didn't find any valuable clues from her."

Daoist Master Wu Dang stroked his beard and said, "Demons of the Devil Sect are always stubborn. Forcing them to confess is naturally inappropriate, so I might as well leave it to Wu Dang. Perhaps, it might be able to make her put down the butcher knife. Master Blanky, what do you think? "

Young Master Lin Kongzi bowed. "Amitabha, the heavens have the right to live. It is naturally for the best if you can comprehend it."

However, the master's words made the others unhappy. Some of the people in the crowd said: "Young Master Wu Dang Lin is a man who goes out of his clan, he is naturally merciful, but how many martial artists did he kill all of us for nothing? In recent years, he had plundered even more children. If not for the fact that Green Isolated Palace had always been secretive and unpredictable, everyone would have attacked their headquarters to eliminate all harm. Since she is a demon from the devil sect, she must know where the Green Isolated Palace is, so no matter what, today you must let her account to the people of the world! "

Hu Heng said, "Don't be impatient, chivalrous warriors. The reason we've invited everyone here is to think of a countermeasure." Green Isolated Palace alone will not remove one day of peace from the world, so today, I also hope that this woman can give an explanation to the people of the world. " He walked to the woman's side and sternly said, "You've seen the current situation. If you don't give the world's heroes an explanation today, I won't be able to protect you."

The girl raised her head and looked at the crowd. Finally, her gaze landed on Hu Heng. She smiled sadly and shook her head.

When the crowd saw how stubborn she was, they all began to come up with ideas. It was said that she was being tortured to the point of forcing a confession, but she was a weak woman after all. This method was way too cruel. Some said that she was trying to coerce others to do something, but unfortunately, she didn't care about it at all. There were also those who agreed to allow the High Monk to change his gender, but in the end, they were rejected because of the difference between males and females.

In the end, so many heroes couldn't do anything to a girl.

Just as everyone was hesitating, a black-clothed woman jumped out from the crowd. She walked up to the stage and said with a smile, "I have an idea. I don't believe that she won't tell us!"
