Mountain-Edge City.
Scarlet District Mistress stabbed the translucent saber in her hand into the ground and sat down beside a well in the courtyard.
Yingying sat beside the well as well, flipping through a book in her hand.
"Still missing something …" Scarlet District Mistress took a deep breath and touched the saber hilt beside her.
This saber was called Vigor Saber. It had been with her for many, many years. Perhaps a hundred, perhaps two hundred. She could no longer remember.
Originally, she did not particularly like this saber. It was just that she was used to it and could not be bothered to change it. Moreover, this saber was very hard and almost indestructible. Hence, she had been using it until now. But now, she and Vigor Saber were one.
Scarlet District Mistress exhaled again and touched a red fragment embedded between the saber hilt and the saber blade.
The fragment glowed with a hazy red light under the dusky evening sky.
This red light had a hint of bewitchment, a hint of beauty, and a hint of danger.
"The book … didn't say … anything …" Yingying put down the book and frowned.
"It's alright … I just need to feel the power," Scarlet District Mistress licked her lips and said in a low voice.
"I can feel an endless stream of power flowing in," She gripped the saber hilt. Slivers of red light spread from the fragment into her body. It was as if the entire courtyard was filled with nothing but red.
This was the Scarlet Dragon Tribulation fragment. A treasure that she had snatched from the hands of so many powerful enemies with her life on the line.
After a long while, the red light on the saber hilt dimmed.
Scarlet District Mistress pulled out Vigor Saber gently and allowed it to fade away in her hand until it was completely out of sight.
She stood up.
"Alright, let's go check out the next sect. Is it that Gong Qu Sect or something?"
"Yes … but … is it alright …?" Umbrella girl looked at her worriedly.
She had only just found out that Scarlet Dragon Tribulation was continuously supplying power to her sister. But this power was not without a price.
"I can still hold on …" Scarlet District Mistress chuckled, a terrifying determination shining in her eyes. As long as she had a saber in her hand, she would never fear any enemy!
So what if it was Wandering Heart Society's Master?!
Yingying, however, grew increasingly worried.
She knew that the power of Divine Weapons and Devil Blades was far beyond the realm of ordinary. It could reach an immeasurable level.
But …
This kind of thing consumed the power of the Ritual Sacrifice. Once a Ritual Sacrifice was used, it could last for ten years. This was the normal frequency of sacrifice. This was the normal pattern of the aristocratic families.
It was like a burning bonfire that needed to be added every once in a while.
However, Big Sister's current situation was different. She was basically using her own essence, Qi, and spirit to supply the shard, transforming it into power. As for the ones obtained from the massacres outside, it was far from enough to use as a ritual offering.
"Bai Feng actually wanted to provoke me into going against the Shangyang Family, damn it. By the way, Yingying, did you find anything? " She stood up and stretched. The strong and well-proportioned muscles on her body squeezed and twisted as she moved, looking strong and powerful.
The umbrella girl gently hung a black jade pendant on her clothes.
"Nothing … I didn't find anything …"
"Alright. If you find anything, remember to inform me immediately. " Scarlet District Mistress tilted her neck. "I really want to go back to Scarlet District. Resting in the well is still the most comfortable … I feel a little uncomfortable staying in crowded places for too long." She frowned as she massaged her chest.
"When … it's built … we'll go back …" umbrella girl smiled.
"Yingying, how great would it be if we could stay like this forever, living together, playing together, doing whatever we want to do together," Scarlet District Mistress whispered.
"Yeah …" Yingying lowered her head, a gentle expression on her face. "Yingying … loves … big sister the most …"
She subconsciously touched the jade pendant. Lu Sheng had asked her to carry it with her. But he did not say what it was for, and she did not dare to ask. She studied it carefully and found that it was harmless to the body. Thus, she obediently hung it on her.
But unbeknownst to her, a faint black line flashed across the jade pendant.
…
Night.
Lu Sheng changed into a tight-fitting outfit and donned a goat mask. Then, he opened the window to the Sect Master's bedroom on the Crimson Whale.
Cypress Pine Lake was calm at night. The waves lapped rhythmically against the walls of the ship. A cool breeze blew in through the window, causing Lu Sheng's long hair to flutter behind him.
He craned his neck to look at his surroundings.
On the deck below, a few Sect personal guards were standing guard silently, yawning.
A patrol boat with lanterns circled the Crimson Whale in the distance.
"Dang … dang … dang."
It was the third watch.
Lu Sheng smoothed out the creases in his black outfit. Pressing his hand on the windowsill, he took a deep breath.
"Poof."
With a sudden burst of strength, he shot out from the windowsill as light as a ghost. Like a giant bat in the pitch-black night sky, he flew dozens of meters in the blink of an eye and landed lightly on the surface of the river.
With a smack, Lu Sheng tapped his foot on the surface of the river and shot off into the distance once more.
He did not know any movement skills. No one here seemed to have studied any powerful movement skills. Most of them were maneuvering techniques meant for actual combat.
Although he did not know any movement skills, in Yin Extreme Mode, Lu Sheng could feel the Yin and Yang inner Qi in his body colliding and grinding against each other, producing some strange transformation.
This transformation could reduce the resistance to his movement to a certain extent. Even though he was shockingly heavy, under the push and coordination of Yin and Yang inner Qi, he was still capable of simple, crude, high-speed flight.
It was like a person doing a long jump. As long as he had enough strength, he would be able to jump very far.
Lightly as a feather, he leaped off the surface of the river once more and shot off into the distance.
If anyone could pass beneath him, they would be able to feel a formless stream of heat erupting from beneath Lu Sheng's body.
It was this intense stream of heat that allowed his heavy body to move as lightly and soundlessly as cotton.
Simply put, Lu Sheng was basically using his incomparably dense inner Qi as a propellant to propel himself forward. It created the illusion that he was using movement skills.
Moreover, in Yin Extreme Mode, this sort of usage did not affect him much as much as the rate at which he could replenish his inner Qi.
Skimming across the river, Lu Sheng reached the shore within the span of a few breaths. Then, he slipped soundlessly into the darkness of the night.
His speed was so fast that he was like a gust of wind at full speed. In the blink of an eye, he had traversed hundreds of meters. A kilometer was but two blinks of an eye for him.
Faint moonlight peeked out from behind the clouds and shone on the earth. All that could be seen was a wisp of black smoke, flashing across the uneven ground.
His direction was not Mountain-Edge City, but Donglin Manor in the north.
"Kacha."
A faint bolt of lightning flashed through the dark clouds, illuminating the land for a moment.
"Hahahaha! Drink, everyone! Don't stand on ceremony! Drink as much as you can!! "
In Donglin Manor's Jie Long City, on the top floor of an extraordinarily extravagant tower, Green Star Sect's Sect Leader Meat Dragon held a thick cow leg in one hand and a soft beauty's waist in the other as he greeted the guests at the banquet.
"Although Crimson Whale Sect reigns supreme in the Northern Lands, it's just a temporary retreat. That brat Lu may be strong, but he can't touch my Jie Long City. This is Donglin Manor. Don't worry, everyone! As long as I, Meat Dragon, am here, I will never let Crimson Whale Sect's claws reach in, "Meat Dragon promised heartily.
"Sect Leader Meat Dragon is the number one expert in our Jie Long City. We naturally believe your words. But that Crimson Whale Sect is too powerful. Now that they're recruiting people for the alliance meeting, they might have ulterior motives … "a Jie Long City sect leader said worriedly.
These people were all Donglin Manor's top experts. Strictly speaking, this place was no longer considered the Northern Lands. Although it was not far from Mountain-Edge City, it was already on the east side of the sea. Beside them was the boundless icy ocean.
If they were forced into a corner, they could just pack up their belongings and board a boat to escape from this place and come back again in another place. After all, Jie Long City did not have many things except for boats.
Green Star Sect was one of the two strongest sects here. Sect Leader Meat Dragon's fat body was invincible. If an ordinary person were to punch him, the rebound would break his bones in the blink of an eye.
"This place is remote. We've mastered the sea route to the eastern islands. At most, we'll just have a falling out and sail out to sea! Who cares about their wild ambitions? "Another sect leader gulped down his wine and meat, completely unconcerned.
Being able to eat cooked beef in this world of ice and snow was not something that could be described as extravagant.
"What's the point of saying so much? Come, drink! To celebrate today's bountiful harvest, it's been a long time since we've hunted so much seafood. This trip to the distant sea is enough for us to eat for half a year! "Meat Dragon raised his wine barrel and shouted.
"That's right! Drink! "
"To Jie Long City!"
"Cheers!!"
"Cheers!"
The sect leaders' faces were flushed red as they raised their wine cups and bowls and drained them in one gulp.
"Creak …"
Suddenly, the main door of the banquet hall opened a crack. It was as if the wind was too strong and blew it open.
Two guards hurried over and pressed the door shut, intending to push it back in.
But just as he closed the door, a surging force slammed into the door.
"Bam!!!"
The two of them flew out and crashed into the wall. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive.
Under the cold moonlight, a man with waist-length hair was standing at the main door with a long saber in his hand.
His face could not be seen in the shadow of the light. Only his messy black hair could be seen flying to the left in the wind.
"How lively … so many people …" The man's voice instantly drowned out all the laughter and noise, clearly reaching everyone's ears.
"Whoosh …"
A gust of chilly wind swept in through the open door, waking up all the drunken people in an instant.
"Who's there!?"
"Hiss …"
Someone touched his saber and slowly stood up, looking over with a fierce gaze.
A few others walked out from the side door. They did not run away, but planned to circle around and surround them from behind.
"Bang!"
The Meat Dragon flung the barrel away. The barrel smashed against the stone wall and rolled down. The remaining wine flowed out of the barrel and spilled on the ground.
He slowly stood up. A strange and cruel smile appeared on his face, which was full of layers of fat.
"I can't believe someone broke into this place …"
Meat Dragon's huge body was more than two meters tall. When he stood up, he looked like a moving fat mountain. His two thick feet stomped on the ground, causing the entire banquet hall to tremble slightly.
"Hehehehe!!" He grinned hideously.
