"Pew pew pew!"
He entered the upper three grades at the age of nineteen and became one of the most powerful cultivators in the Great Song. He was even more talented than Shangyang Fei and was known as the number one genius of the Nine Great Families of the Central Plains. Now, most of the Lin Family's resources were transferred to Lin Beikai.
"Yes!" Hong Qing only knew how to answer.
He dove into the sea at the age of eighteen and made an agreement with the powerful Pearl Demon Clan, which never interacted with humans, opening up a huge source of wealth for the Lin Family.
"Your subordinate greets you, Sir!" Hong Qing bowed respectfully when he saw the man.
"Alright, let's begin." Grand Elder cleared his throat and started explaining the Devil Concealment Secret Art. In fact, this secret art was the Prime Devil Secret Art.
"Your master …" Grand Elder took a deep breath. "Your master … is going to a gathering … Little Sheng."
But even such an expert was submissive in front of the middle-aged scholar in white, not daring to straighten his back. This was all because the middle-aged scholar was from the Lin Family. The Lin Family, one of the Nine Great Families of the Central Plains.
"… The key to this secret technique is to cultivate the Devil Light." The Great Elder explained the essentials. "Devil Light can conceal one's aura at a deeper level. Even Devils can't detect it. That's the general secret art. If you have the chance to cultivate it … Forget it, let's not talk about this now. Remember to visualize it. "Grand Elder slowly took out a paper tube and opened it gently.
"Your disciple understands." Lu Sheng nodded solemnly.
"Sect Master of the Six Mountains, the invitation is here." Suddenly, a deep male voice came from outside the cave.
"I'm going to the gathering and won't be back for a while. Your Senior Sister He Xiangzi has another mission and can't take your place. This mission is very important. Don't slack off," Grand Elder reminded again.
"Yes. Master. " He Xiangzi walked in, and Lu Sheng quickly stood up as well. Without another word, the two turned and left the cave, quickly disappearing into the shadows outside.
"As long as you know." The scholar nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, I've conveyed the message. Hurry up. If necessary, you can ask the God of Travel for help. "
After the middle-aged scholar left, he let out a long sigh.
The snake-patterned desk, the carvings on the wall that had been polished by his hands until they shone, and the floor still had the stab marks left by him when he was a child …
"Patriarch …" He let out a long sigh. For a moment, he choked with sobs and couldn't speak. Tears streamed down his face.
"That's right." The Great Elder nodded. "Demons are terrifyingly contagious. As long as one's body is touched, it can cause a person to rapidly mutate. They didn't have any special powers or secret techniques. The only thing they could rely on was their abnormally powerful bodies. You'll be able to come into contact with these in the future. Compared to freaks, they are more dangerous, violent, and uncontrollable. "
"Yes," He Xiangzi answered obediently and stood up to wait outside the cave.
Everything that was familiar to him was about to leave him.
However, this kind of cultivation was of no help to the Hundred Lineages Meet. Without a chief disciple, without a successor, the sect would have no hope.
"This secret technique is called the Phantom Listening Technique. Don't forget, I'll be revising the Karmaless Skill for you next … "
"Yes."
"This time, that woman has also been invited to be the guest of honor. With that person's methods, the Shangyang Family will definitely not miss out on this great opportunity. Eldest Brother wants all of you to work together with the other groups, "the middle-aged scholar instructed.
"Little Sheng, is there any problem with your current cultivation?" The Great Elder asked in a low voice.
"Master?" Lu Sheng also called out softly.
"Hiss …"
"Next, I'll assign you the second task." The Great Elder tried his best to calm himself down.
"Your disciple is here," Lu Sheng replied with his head lowered.
"Your disciple remembers that the information I read in the library states that the birth of a Demon will lead to a Devil Disaster?" Lu Sheng asked with a frown.
"Yes, your disciple will definitely remember that!" Lu Sheng nodded solemnly.
On the paper, there was a clear drawing. A black whirlpool of flames. In the center of the flames, one could vaguely see an ear. It was a pale, bloodless human ear. It was as if someone was listening through the whirlpool.
Both of them were silent.
Outsiders might think that the upper three grades of the Hundred Lineages Sect banded together to resist the pressure from the Noble Families. But only those who were part of the sect knew that almost every sect in the upper three grades had the shadow of a Noble Family behind them.
"City Lord Fengwu?" Lu Sheng paused.
The Great Elder glanced at the teapot, then closed his eyes and fell silent. "Go, don't delay. Oh, there's a secret passage in the Prime Devil Sect that you've never used before. To prevent future danger, Little Sheng, go through the secret passage this time and familiarize yourself with the lower levels. "
As the most dazzling figure of the younger generation of the Nine Great Families of the Central Plains. Lin Beikai and Shangyang Fei had always fought openly and secretly, with both winning and losing.
Only the Great Elder sat alone in the cave.
"I don't care what your reason is. If you delay something important, you can't afford to bear the consequences. Not even your entire Nine Bells Sect," the middle-aged scholar said coldly.
"Yes …" Hong Qing nodded slowly with sweat on his forehead.
"Not bad. Fengwu City is quite far from White Bell City. Leave today and come back early. Don't delay on the way," the Great Elder instructed seriously.
"As long as it goes smoothly." The Great Elder sighed. Pity … if only he had met Little Sheng a few years ago …
After a long while …
Of the two most dazzling stars of the Nine Great Families of the Central Plains, one was Shangyang Fei of the Shangyang Family. The other was Lin Beikai of the Lin Family.
Ordinary disciples would need at least a year to break through to the first level of Karmaless Skill. It was already impressive enough that Lu Sheng could break through to the third level in a few months.
"The invitation has been delivered. I shall take my leave." The man retreated slowly.
Lin Beikai of the Lin Family, a shining man who had been surrounded by countless halos since birth. At the age of five, he had thought that Noble Families should not be complacent and secluded, so he volunteered to study in the largest sect of his time, the Famed Mountain Sect. At the age of seventeen, he left school and traveled the world, killing the Demon Kings of the south, King Giant Forest and King Qiu Shan. Both of them were beings at the middle three tiers of the Snake realm.
"Yes, your subordinate understands," Hong Qing hurriedly answered.
"Today's morning lesson ends here." The Great Elder put down the book in his hand. "Little Sheng stays. He Xiang, stand guard outside."
"Take it and hand it to the City Lord of Dancing Phoenix City for me."
Lu Sheng did not speak, and continued listening to the Great Elder's explanation.
The cave door opened slowly, and a long-haired man with a full beard walked in quickly. He first bowed to the Great Elder, then placed a dark golden invitation on the table in front of the Great Elder with both hands.
The Great Elder pondered for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts and planning how to speak.
Inside the Prime Devil Sect, black shadows flashed rapidly like bats in the night, constantly leaping from the cave walls.
"This letter." He took out an envelope he had prepared earlier, placed it on the table, and pushed it to Lu Sheng.
"Oh, please come in. Emissary, please come in." The Great Elder finally snapped out of his daze.
'And the matter of the Prime Devil Sect's encampment needs to be settled as soon as possible. That old fart is stubbornly guarding it. Looks like I'll have to resort to extreme measures. 'With these thoughts in mind, Hong Qing looked around and quietly retreated from the corner.
The Prime Devil Secret Art was the highest achievement of the Prime Devil Sect. The depth and breadth it contained naturally far surpassed other arts.
Lu Sheng did not speak either. He had a feeling that today was different from usual. The Great Elder seemed to be making a serious decision.
Even if he was only at the lower three grades of the Snake realm, and only at the Snake realm, he was still much stronger than someone at the Bind realm.
'It's finally time …' He raised his head and looked at Lu Sheng blankly, then at He Xiangzi at the door, and then at the decorations in the cave.
However, he had exaggerated the effect of hiding one's aura, and omitted the other, more powerful effects of actual combat.
Lu Sheng had only memorized a small part of it when he felt that something was wrong. How could a mere aura-hiding art involve so many aspects?
…
"Sect Master of the Six Mountains?" The man outside the cave was confused.
"He Xiangzi, take Junior Brother there."
"No, everything went smoothly," Lu Sheng answered seriously. A teacher's duty was to impart knowledge and answer questions. In this regard, the Great Elder had already done what he was supposed to do. Therefore, regardless of whether the other party was a bloodline holder or not, he still showed enough respect.
The Prime Devil Sect.
The Great Elder fell silent, not saying a word.
Hong Qing guessed that this Hundred Lineages Conference was likely to be one of the battlefields where the two of them would plot against each other.
The Great Elder looked at this disciple he had just discovered, whom he was proud of. After this period of imparting secret arts, he realized that all the foundational secret arts had been poured into Lu Sheng's mind.
Then, all that was left was the last one …
"No need for formalities," the middle-aged scholar said casually. "Brother Hong, you've been too slow recently. You must understand that your elder brother's plot won't just wait for you."
Suddenly, a metal teapot on the table in the cave slowly emitted hot steam.
"Then Teacher, you …" Before Lu Sheng could finish, the Great Elder interrupted him.
This secret art was much more profound than Ghost Face Mantra and other secret arts.
He sighed in his heart. No matter how talented Lu Sheng was, he would only be able to break through to the third or fourth level of Karmaless Skill.
The Great Elder was stunned. When he heard the voice, he did not seem to be able to react.
After a long time, he slowly stood up and raised his head.
"That's why back then, our sect had painstakingly studied demonic beings for generations before finally coming up with a set of methods to conceal one's aura from demonic beings. This is what I'm going to impart to you today. Although this thing won't be of much help to you for now, no one can tell what will happen in the future, "the Great Elder said calmly.
The Great Elder stared blankly at the invitation card on the table, as if stunned.
"What exactly is a demon? That day I brought you to the Secret Arts Hall, there was a demon sealed there. I'm sure you already have an impression of it. " He said simply, "A demon can be a human, a ghost, a demon, or even a descendant of a Noble Family. A demon is a creature that can disguise itself. It's a mutated existence with an extremely strong contagious nature. Once infected, the mutation is irreversible. "
"I've imparted to you all the secret arts that should be imparted to you. As for the details of cultivation, you'll have to deal with them after you've actually encountered a problem. That's why I won't mention it for now, "the Great Elder said in a low voice." Today, I have one last thing for you to remember. The content this time is different from before. It's very, very important. You must remember it. You mustn't forget it! "
"When the sect prospers, perhaps you can rely on the other sects if you have the chance in the future …"
A cool breeze blew gently in the silence.
He immediately guessed that this was the Prime Demon Secret Art.
Hong Qing's heart tightened. He quickly said, "It's mainly because I'm waiting for my son to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation …"
"When these big shots fight, we lowly people suffer … sigh …" However, he had no choice but to borrow the Lin Family's strength. Back then, he had become the sect master because of the Lin Family's support. Now, he was in a difficult position.
