The two of them walked into Jasper Palace under the guidance of the young Taoist. From time to time, they could see Taoists guiding disciples from other sects.
Among these disciples, some were chatting happily with each other as they walked together. Some were looking at each other coldly, ready to draw their swords at any time. There were also some who stood together and talked loudly.
The two of them from the Prime Devil Sect kept walking toward the deepest part of the palace under the guidance of the Taoist guide. Along the way, disciples from other sects saw them, and occasionally asked each other about the situation.
But after knowing that they were from the Prime Devil Sect, they either never heard of them or just ignored them.
To them, the Prime Devil Sect was just a small sect that was about to fall out of the Hundred Lineages. An inconspicuous small sect wasn't even worth chatting with.
Lu Sheng and He Xiangzi passed through a few courtyards. The structure of Jasper Palace was a main road in the middle, and on both sides of the road were side palaces for various sects.
Lu Sheng also saw disciples from other sects who were being led to side palaces like the two of them.
But they didn't just have two people. There were at least seven or eight.
"Grace Garden is in the deepest part of Jasper Palace. Jasper Palace is now divided into five districts. Your sect is in the fifth district," the guide explained in a low voice.
"Hmm, what about food?" He Xiangzi asked in a low voice.
"Food is provided by the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant. All the sects in the upper three grades are supervised. There won't be any problems."
"As for the internal competition stage, there are arrangements for the five regions. All the sects in the five regions are allowed to challenge each other at will. Each person can compete in five matches, and the number of matches challenged by others will not be counted as your own five matches. Whoever wins the most matches will be ranked first …" The guide introduced the situation of the Alliance Tournament.
On the way to Grace Garden, they passed by many side palaces. They were all arranging accommodation, and some disciples were already patrolling around to check on the situation.
Halfway there, Lu Sheng suddenly saw a young man and woman playing chess at the side from the corner of his eye.
Among the two, the man was dressed in black with long sleeves, a white crown on his head, and a piece of green jade hanging in front of his chest. He had the air of a famous scholar from ancient times.
The other woman was no more than twenty years old, but at this moment, she was like a Buddha statue in a temple. Her face was solemn, and her beautiful face actually showed a faint sense of benevolence. This woman clearly had an enchanting figure. Most of her slender legs and slender waist were exposed, but she didn't give off the slightest feeling of sexiness.
The two of them sat by the chessboard, each with a serious look on their faces.
"Who are those two?" Lu Sheng had seen many people from aristocratic families and sects, but this was the first time he had seen someone with a face like this woman. Most of the others were no different from ordinary people.
The Taoist guide looked in the direction Lu Sheng was pointing and instantly smiled.
"Those two are Recluse Master Ashen Pine of the Heaven Lotus School and Goddess Shetong of the Divine Halberd Sect."
"Isn't this where the sects in the lower three grades live?" He Xiangzi asked curiously.
"That's right, but these two are stationed here as part of the defense force. They won't participate in the conference, "the guide said in a low voice.
Both Lu Sheng and He Xiangzi understood the subtext. It meant that these two were too strong, beyond the scope of ordinary disciples. Participating in the conference was like bullying children.
Lu Sheng couldn't help but take another look at these two.
"Let's continue."
"Alright, I'll continue the introductions." The guide continued the previous topic.
Listening to the introductions along the way, the two of them soon arrived at the Grace Garden of the Prime Devil Sect.
Although the Prime Devil Sect was about to fall out of the Hundred Lineages, it was still a member of the Hundred Lineages. They were also given a large courtyard that could accommodate dozens of people.
This courtyard was called the Grace Garden. It had a main hall, two side halls, and dozens of rooms around it.
Lu Sheng was too lazy to go to the conference in the afternoon, so he let He Xiangzi go.
In fact, it was just a group of people gathering together. The old Taoist of the Jasper Palace, who was in charge of the conference, would introduce the divisions and the competition schedule.
He himself stayed in his room, checking if there were any secret tunnels for surveillance. Besides, it was also because he felt that his Devil Will heart was finally about to hatch for the second time. He was looking forward to how far he could go after cultivating Devil Heart Dao to Level Nine.
Moreover, his body was much, much stronger than the previous Prime Devil Sect disciples. As a result, he absorbed far more essence from the River of Poisoned Fog than the average Prime Devil Sect disciple.
He had calculated it himself. Compared to the body capacity of the average sect disciple, he absorbed at least thirty to fifty times more essence from the River of Poisoned Fog than the average disciple.
For example, Lu Sheng had asked He Xiangzi vaguely about the details of her cultivation of Karmaless Skill.
He had also quickly calculated the extent of her absorption of the River of Poisoned Fog. This gave Lu Sheng a very direct comparison.
He Xiangzi went to attend the conference as a representative. Lu Sheng didn't stay in the Grace Garden for long. Soon, a loud noise came from outside.
"Bam!"
"Chen Shi! Get out here!! "
A shrill, feminine male voice came from a nearby courtyard. The voice was clearly feminine, but it had a rough tone. It was indescribably awkward.
"Just now, you chopped off one of my junior sister's arms. Now, are you going to come out and cut off your own arms, or should I fight my way in and tear off all your limbs?" the feminine voice said coldly.
"Feng Junhai? You didn't attend the conference. Fine, I'll deal with you as well. I just feel that this area is too crowded. "Another calm, low voice followed.
Lu Sheng sat in the side hall and heard that a fight was about to break out.
Screams, crashing sounds, and then explosions. He didn't know what secret art was used.
The fight went on for a while, and there was no peace.
He didn't expect the fight to start so soon. The manager here didn't care either, letting them do as they pleased. It was as if they were prepared for it.
After a while, the outside finally quieted down.
Lu Sheng continued to calm down, feeling the second Devil Will heart that was about to hatch. The first was the human-faced snake, which seemed to have the ability to corrupt one's mind. He was looking forward to the second one. He wondered what ability it would hatch.
The Devil Will heart of Devil Heart Dao hatched differently for everyone. This was because everyone's personality and heart were different.
'According to the records, when a normal Devil Will heart hatches, the first one is usually the Snake of Resentment.' Lu Sheng looked at the human-faced snake that slowly appeared beside him. This thing was indeed the Snake of Resentment, and its appearance and ability were similar to what was described in the records.
'The Snake of Resentment's effect is to affect the opponent's mind, making them unable to focus. It's also the one with the least effect. '
'If there are no surprises, the normal type should be the Lion of Rage. The Lion with black poisonous flames can help in actual combat. Its power depends on the depth of its cultivation. '
Lu Sheng closed his eyes. Black Qi slowly swirled around him. Soon, a black heart the size of a human head appeared in front of him from the black Qi.
Purple-red Godfiend symbols flashed in the center of the heart.
'Guide your heart, calmly find your desires, your desires, and the deepest part of your memory, and contact them.'
Lu Sheng slowly focused and held his breath. He began to hatch the Devil Will heart according to the steps in the records.
"Bam!"
Right at this moment, a loud bang suddenly interrupted his state of concentration.
The noise didn't come from anywhere else, but from the gate of the Grace Garden.
"Brats of the Prime Devil Sect, come out!" A somewhat familiar voice echoed arrogantly above the Grace Garden.
Lu Sheng frowned, and stood up angrily.
He only wanted to quietly participate in the alliance meeting and stabilize his ranking. Why was there always trash that jumped out to annoy him time and time again? Wouldn't it be better if everyone fought peacefully?
'I have to be ruthless, but I can't kill them completely … Hmm … How troublesome.' Lu Sheng slowly walked out of the side hall and looked toward the center of the courtyard.
A tall, slender man stood in front of the gate with his hands behind his back. His eyes scanned the surroundings. It was Li Du, whom he met in the inn before.
The other person seemed to be his junior sister. She wore a dark blue robe and pants, and carried a pitch-black bow on her back. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, and she looked quite graceful.
"People of the Prime Devil Sect?" Li Du recognized Lu Sheng at a glance.
Originally, the Nine Bells Sect had their eyes on the Prime Devil Sect's territory, and the Alternate Cave Sect had no choice but to withdraw from the competition. After all, the Alternate Cave Sect's strength was far inferior to the Nine Bells Sect.
But unexpectedly, the Nine Bells Sect suddenly weakened, and the disciples they sent this time were just a formality.
Thus, Li Du had an idea. The Alternate Cave Sect was famous for focusing on the five strange acupoints.
They firmly believed that these five acupoints were the most vital points of a bloodline user. As long as one focused on them and strengthened them, they would obtain all sorts of incredible secret arts and abilities. And the Prime Devil Sect's Devil's Pool could stimulate the acupoints to a certain extent.
Li Du's uncle was the sect master of the Alternate Cave Sect. To outsiders, he was the sect master. As a relative, he naturally cared about the rise and fall of the sect.
Several lower three grades sects were interested in the Prime Devil Sect's headquarters. So when he heard the news, he felt that there was a chance and hurried over, lest someone else beat him to it.
"You're Lu Sheng?" Li Du sized him up coldly.
A frail scholar.
This was his first impression of Lu Sheng.
His face was pale, and it was obvious that his Qi and blood were lacking. If it were any other sect, Li Du might be wary. But the Prime Devil Sect, other than a little poisonous gas and crude martial arts, what other secret arts did they have?
"That's me." Lu Sheng heard the question and nodded slightly.
"Where's your first seat, He Xiangzi?" Li Du looked left and right, trying to find He Xiangzi.
"You're looking for her? I can pass the message, "Lu Sheng said seriously.
"Nothing much. I just want to ask the Prime Devil Sect to withdraw from this meeting. You won't be able to get any ranking anyway, right? "Li Du laughed coldly.
Withdraw?
Lu Sheng thought for a moment, then extended three fingers at him seriously.
"One eye, two legs."
"What?" Li Du was stunned, not understanding what the other meant.
"Ah!!"
Suddenly, a scream came from beside Li Du. He quickly turned to look. The junior apprentice sister who came with him had dug her own hands deep into her eyes.
Large amounts of blood gushed out of her eyes and dripped onto the ground.
"Senior Apprentice Brother!! Save me!! "The junior apprentice sister cried out in fear, but could not control her movements. Her fingers kept moving around in her eyes and digging wildly.
"I …!!??" Li Du was stunned, but quickly reacted. "Wait, Junior Apprentice Sister, I'll save you right now!!"
With that, he quickly ran to the junior apprentice sister.
Then.
She stabbed her fingers into her eyes as well.
"Puchi."
"Ah!!"
Li Du actually dug out his own eyeballs too.
"Junior Apprentice Sister!!" he screamed. "How are you?? Junior Apprentice Sister?! Why can't I see her??! "
A moment later …
The two of them had lost their eyes and legs, and could only crawl out of the Prime Devil Sect's door with difficulty.
"Junior Apprentice Sister!!"
"Senior Apprentice Brother!!"
Lu Sheng slowly closed the door, and looked at the human-faced snake floating around him speechlessly.
He had only released this thing to test the waters. He did not expect it to be so powerful.
"The description says that the human-faced snake has a weak ability to disrupt the mind and cause confusion." He felt like he had read a fake book. An ability that could confuse people to the point where they dug out their own eyes and chopped off their own legs was weak?
Li Du was a Four-Vein Level Bind expert. Even in the sect, which was weaker than the Noble Families, he was still a peak expert in the eyes of ordinary people.
"If even someone of this level can't withstand the interference of my human-faced snake, then what effect would an ordinary person have when faced with this kind of confusion?" Lu Sheng's expression darkened slightly. He knew that his human-faced snake ability was not targeted at a single person, but could be released at will over a large area …
