After the meal, Lu Sheng brought little umbrella girl to a newly built secret chamber.
Because he was cultivating, the previous room was full of scars and couldn't be used at all.
Lu Sheng laid out all the spoils of war he had collected for little umbrella girl to identify.
"What's this?" He picked up the exquisite little book and waved it in front of little umbrella girl.
"Only … big sister … knows … about this …" Yingying stammered.
"Are you sure?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes at her. "You must know that I can't kill you, but I can leave you in a state of eternal death. You know what I mean. "
Little umbrella girl shuddered. It looked like she feared death very much. She looked at the little book carefully again.
"This is … a set of … skill formula that big sister … accidentally … obtained …" she stuttered.
Skill formula?
Lu Sheng's interest was piqued and he pressed on. Soon, he learned of the use of this skill formula from little umbrella girl. This was a skill formula used purely against demons and ghosts. Humans could not use it at all.
Moreover, the characters used in it were not those used by humans. Instead, it was a system called the Spirit Script. Little umbrella girl did not recognize the Spirit Script either. Only Scarlet District Mistress knew about it.
Although it was not of much use, it did replenish some Yin Qi.
Lu Sheng had long since absorbed all the Yin Qi in the little book. He had obtained about fifty units of Yin Qi, which happened to be replenished after he had used up all of it previously.
He now had three forms. Yang Extreme Mode had a monstrous physique, Yin Extreme Mode had the appearance of a weak young master, and finally, Yin Extreme Mode had the strongest form of Yin and Yang Integration.
In truth, he did not have any point of reference to determine how strong his strongest form was. He had only fought against two Snake realm experts previously. There were no other points of reference.
He named his strongest form 'Destroyer'. In this form, his strength, speed, explosiveness and defense were all at their peak. It could destroy almost all the experts that Lu Sheng had met so far. Therefore, he named it 'Destroyer'.
In this form, he could still continue to burn liquefied Qi to greatly increase his explosiveness and lethality. That was his true strongest form.
"What about this?" Lu Sheng then took out the golden eye that he had obtained from the One-eyed Giant Chao Hu. "What use is this to me?"
Little umbrella girl opened her mouth. Suddenly, her pupils changed from pale red to pale white.
"Humph!" She turned her head away. "You think I'll tell you?! Dream on! "
"Oh, you're Hongfang Bai now?" Lu Sheng smiled. This fellow's mind seemed to have been affected slightly as his body shrank, and he became more immature.
"So what if I am? Do you think I'm as easy to bully as that fool Yingying? "Little umbrella girl continued to snort coldly.
"How about we make a deal?" Lu Sheng reached out and picked up little umbrella girl. Grabbing the back of her collar, he easily lifted her up with one hand.
"LET ME GO!!" Little umbrella girl tried to struggle but couldn't move under the strength of Lu Sheng's hand.
"No matter what, you've lost to me in the end. Am I right? "Lu Sheng asked.
"…" Little umbrella girl turned her head away and said nothing.
"Don't you want to regain your original strength?" Lu Sheng tempted her.
"What do you want?!" Little umbrella girl turned back immediately and shouted.
"Tell me, we have no grudge. You provoked me first, and I retaliated. Whose fault is it that ended up like this?" Lu Sheng smiled. "That's why I'm actually not interested in you. If you hadn't tried to attack me, I wouldn't have done anything to you."
Little umbrella girl thought about it carefully. That was true. From start to finish, Lu Sheng had never provoked them. Initially, it was umbrella girl Yingying who attacked Crimson Whale Sect's headquarters and fought with Zhen Family that caused the conflict. As the conflict deepened, it finally led to the tragic ending of the battle at the One-Line Sky.
"Cooperate with me, or maintain the status quo." Lu Sheng put her down and sat on the spot. "Your choice."
"Even if I regain my strength, will you let me go?" Little umbrella girl asked coldly.
"To be honest, I don't know either. But it's better than having no hope at all. What do you think? "Lu Sheng smiled.
Little umbrella girl was silent for a while.
She weighed the pros and cons. In the end, perhaps she still felt that regaining her strength was the top priority, she finally agreed.
"Alright, I promise you. I'll cooperate with you as much as I can. I won't harm the forces and interests you belong to. But you have to help me regain my strength if the conditions permit, "she said seriously.
"Sure." Lu Sheng nodded.
He picked up the one-eyed thing.
"Now, tell me, how do I use this thing best?"
Little umbrella girl looked at the one-eyed thing.
"This is the Giant's Eye, often referred to as the Red-Golden Pupil or the Golden Ripple Pearl. If you don't mind, you can transplant it into your body. It'll give you a special power secret skill."
"Huh? Transplant? "Lu Sheng was stunned.
"Yes. After transplantation, its power will be reduced to about half of its original strength. But it's not bad. I still remember that because of this, the Cyclops Tribe was hunted down severely. That's because the Red-Golden Pupil was once favored by a certain Devil Blade and was specially used as an altar decoration, "little umbrella girl explained.
"Only half of its power. Forget it." Lu Sheng did not ask how to transplant it. For them who had reached such a level of control over their bodies, it was not difficult to accept and reject a new body.
"And then there's these skeletons. How do I use them? " Lu Sheng took out Ye Moling's corpse, as well as the corpses of Scarlet District Mistress and Yingying.
"YOU!!!" Little umbrella girl was instantly enraged.
"Isn't this recycling?" Lu Sheng was nonchalant.
"Are you humiliating me!?" She screamed and leaped high into the air, pouncing at Lu Sheng's face. But she was easily caught and pinned to the ground.
"Alright, stop fooling around."
"Give me back the skeletons! You pervert! I'll trade with you! TRADE!!! " Little umbrella girl screamed and struggled. She had finally seen reality. She could neither beat him nor escape. She could only admit defeat.
"Alright. You said it. "Only then did Lu Sheng let go of her.
Only then did Hongfang Bai snort angrily and land on the ground. Looking at the skeletons on the ground, she was still exasperated.
"The method you used to control Yingying can totally be used to control a puppet substitute. I know the secret art to refine a puppet substitute. Do you want it? "
"Oh?" Lu Sheng's eyes lit up. He had always felt that although he was strong, his subordinates were not strong enough. He could not guarantee the safety of his friends and family. But this puppet substitute sounded very powerful. Perhaps …
"But you'll need to find enough resources and materials to make a substitute. And it's extremely difficult. Even I'm only a beginner, "little umbrella girl said quickly. "I'll teach you the rudimentary method. Give me back my skeletons!"
"Deal!" Lu Sheng nodded.
The two of them conversed in the secret chamber for several hours. Only then did they slowly emerge.
But when they emerged, Lu Sheng felt that the surrounding guards were looking at him strangely.
Especially little umbrella girl's exhausted look when she emerged. It made him feel that the surrounding gazes were getting weirder and weirder.
Fortunately, he had always used Yin Crane Web to control little umbrella girl's words and actions outside, to prevent her from saying anything she should not.
This time, he had really obtained a secret art from little umbrella girl. It was called the Thread Manipulation Art. It was a technique to control a puppet in battle or movement by using something like silk threads.
No wonder he had never seen Scarlet District Mistress use this thing. Just the fact that she had to use silk threads made this secret art useless.
No wonder Scarlet District Mistress did not hold back and even recorded the original text of the secret art and gave it to Lu Sheng.
The two of them walked out of the secret chamber. Hongfang Bai followed behind Lu Sheng. She had to hop and hop to keep up with his speed.
She stole a glance at the fellow in front of her.
'Back then, I wasted no less than a hundred years for this technique. I even used up all of Scarlet District's resources. Study it, study it hard! It's best if you jump into this bottomless pit like I did back then, stagnating in cultivation for a hundred years. Only then will I have a chance … 'Hongfang Bai thought maliciously.
The two of them entered the study one after another.
Lu Sheng pulled out a chair and sat down.
"You mentioned a secret art just now? Mutant power? What's that? "he asked suddenly.
Hongfang Bai was taken aback.
"Apart from our powerful and bizarre physical bodies, we demons and ghosts have all sorts of abilities. Isn't that ability of yours to suddenly strengthen your aura a type of secret art as well? Why are you asking this? Don't you know it too? "
Lu Sheng thought for a moment before realizing that she was referring to his liquefied Qi.
"Alright then." He interpreted it as a special Innate Mystique of demons and ghosts. He thought of Chao Hu's single golden eye and Scarlet District Mistress's phantasmagoric body. They all seemed similar.
He sat down and began flipping through the urgent reports sent by Jade Lotus and the rest. Usually, Jade Lotus would only send urgent reports for major and important matters.
Jade Lotus was in charge of the management of Mountain-Edge City. As for the other regions, Lu Sheng assigned the other Elders to manage them. Soaring Eagle Squad led by Xu Chui was in charge of close to thirty percent of the sect's territory. Zhao Jiaojiao was also assigned to be in charge of thirty percent of the region.
At the mention of Zhao Jiaojiao, Lu Sheng frowned slightly. That fellow was a martial arts fanatic. Although he had beaten her into submission, she was a Divine Essence cultivator to begin with. Coupled with the limitless growth of Yin Crane Web … Her cultivation base grew steadily day by day.
Although she had just started taking charge of the regions, the cities and regions under her command had the fewest number of ghosts and strange occurrences. Many of them had just spread the news when they rushed over and wiped them out.
Lu Sheng flipped through the urgent reports sent by Zhao Jiaojiao casually. After a brief glance, he moved on to the city region under the jurisdiction of the last Elder.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, his hand paused.
He picked up a piece of paper. It was clearly dated more than a month ago. But the contents of the paper made him narrow his eyes slightly.
After reading the contents, he placed the paper gently on the table. His knuckles began to tap on the paper unhurriedly.
Bright white sunlight shone in through the window, landing on the pale yellow paper and illuminating a line of words.
"Ring Pendant City Branch Lord Ye Hongnan. Lost contact for thirteen days. Whereabouts unknown."
