Chapter 22 - Demons and Coincidences (2/2)
Although its defense was amazing and its straight-line sprinting speed was relatively fast, as long as one knew its weak point, even a martial cultivator at the third level of the body refining realm could escape under its pursuit.
As Lu Yu ran, he noticed that the trees around him were decreasing. Then, he rushed out of the forest and came to a place where there were rocks everywhere.
Although the gray-white demon could not hit him, he could not do anything to it either. Lu Yu felt that it was a bit troublesome. The demon seemed to be determined that it would not let Lu Yu go.
After running for a while, Lu Yu heard a voice from afar.
“This way, the Wind Rock Demon is running this way.”
Then, Lu Yu saw a familiar face.
Zhang Lun was also very surprised to see Lu Yu here. Wasn’t he in Windmill Town? How could he be here?
Just as he was about to ask Lu Yu, he saw the Wind Rock Demon rampaging behind him. His attention was attracted by the Wind Rock Demon, and he quickly said to the people around it, “Quick, surround the Wind Rock Demon. Don’t let it escape!”
Many martial art cultivators wearing Han Residence’s guard uniforms surrounded the Wind Rock Demon. When the Wind Rock Demon realized that it was surrounded, it gave up on chasing Lu Yu and rushed toward Zhang Lun. It wanted to break out of the encirclement.
When Zhang Lun saw the Wind Rock Demon charging towards him, he did not dodge or draw his short knife. He took a deep breath and performed a fist technique.
Flowing Water Fist!
Boom! The Wind Rock Demon collided with Zhang Lun. Soon after, Lu Yu heard continuous sounds coming from the Wind Rock Demon’s body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Wind Rock Demon’s huge body, which was comparable to that of a rhinoceros, was actually forced back by Zhang Lun. Its two short hind legs drew two deep trenches in the ground.
Immediately after, a few guards threw out a large net made of special materials to cover the Wind Rock Demon. The others hurriedly went forward and pulled out the rope, exerting force from four directions at the same time.
When the large net was thrown out, Zhang Lun had already retreated from the area covered by the large net.
Under the combined force of more than ten people, this Wind Rock Demon, whose strength was comparable to a seventh level body refining realm martial art cultivator, was caught. When Zhang Lun walked towards Lu Yu, he even bared his teeth and waved his hands.
Lu Yu could clearly see that Zhang Lun’s hands had turned red.
Zhang Lun said, “This Wind Rock Demon is really tough. Its strength isn’t that great, but it’s tough enough. Its defense is stronger than many qi cultivating realm demons. It can’t even be beaten.”
After saying that, he looked at Lu Yu and asked, “Why did you come here? Why did you provoke the Wind Rock Demon?”
Lu Yu told him the excuse that he had made up long ago. “I found some clues and followed them to this place. I didn’t expect to bump into the Wind Rock Demon.”
“Really? Then you are really unlucky to bump into the Wind Rock Demon here.” Zhang Lun did not doubt Lu Yu.
Hearing his words, Lu Yu asked curiously, “Is the Wind Rock Demon doesn’t appear in this area?”
“Indeed. Most of the Wind Rock Demons are gathered on the back of the Wind Rock Mountain. There are large amounts of exposed wind rock ores over there. The Wind Rock Demons eat wind rock ores for a living, which is why they are so hard.”
“If the Wind Rock Demons are so close to the Han Residence, wouldn’t the Han Residence be in danger?” Lu Yu asked.
“Actually, the Han Residence is located on the Wind Rock Mountain to prevent the Wind Rock Demons from barging into Windmill Town. However, most of the time, the Wind Rock Demons are very quiet in their own nest and won’t run around. Therefore, it’s not as dangerous as we thought.”
Looking at the Wind Rock Demons being dragged away by everyone, Lu Yu asked curiously, “Why are you capturing it?”
From their actions just now, it could be seen that Zhang Lun and the others were here specifically to capture the Wind Rock Demon. Otherwise, their cooperation would not have been so smooth.
“The Wind Rock Demon is useless, but what the Wind Rock Demon pulls out is a treasure. After the Wind Rock Demon eats a large amount of wind rock, a true treasure will appear in its excrement — iron essence.”
“Iron essence is a first-grade spirit class treasure. It is trade in tael. If you have enough iron essence, you can spend some processing fees to custom-make spirit weapons in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.”
The two chatted as they walked. Unknowingly, they came to the mining area where the Han Residence was mining wind rocks. Lu Yu suddenly stopped, he said to Zhang Lun, “Brother Zhang, I’m going back to Windmill Town to continue searching for clues about the mysterious person. Goodbye!”
“Okay, be careful.”
The two separated, and Lu Yu left the mining area as quickly as possible.
Zhang Lun brought the captured Wind Rock Demon to the place where the Wind Rock Demon was being held. On the way, he bumped into Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu noticed that there was a familiar-looking person who was talking to Zhang Lun just now. When he asked who that person was, Zhang Lun did not think too much and directly told him that it was Lu Yu.
When they went to Windmill Town previously, Yang Xiu noticed Lu Yu was in the team. Now that he saw him here, he asked curiously, “What exactly is that Lu Yu doing? Why is he running around?”
“Butler Zhang asked him to find someone. Why are you asking this?” Zhang Lun asked curiously. Yang Xiu did not seem to be such a curious person.
After listening to Zhang Lun, Yang Xiu said casually, “Oh, it’s nothing. I taught Lu Yu back then, and I still have a good impression of him. I just want to know what he is doing.”
“Is that so?” Zhang Lun was a little puzzled. Yang Xiu was not the kind of person that he said he was. During his year in the Han Residence, Zhang Lun rarely saw Yang Xiu care about other people’s matters..
