The next day, early in the morning, while Lu Sheng was still cultivating in the side hall, he heard a faint sound from the courtyard door. He did not need to look to know that He Xiangzi had snuck out.
After all, she was an expert in Karmaless Skill. Even if she could not beat the other sect's first seats, she could still handle ordinary experts.
Lu Sheng did not know what He Xiangzi planned to do, but he could not be bothered to care. No matter what she did, he could pull her back. Since the meeting did not allow killing, there was no danger.
He continued meditating for a while. After completing his daily routine of Ultimate Crimson Nine Furies Skill and Aquarius Qi, Lu Sheng stood up and started eating.
Breakfast was a small basket of crystal dumplings and braised duck leg.
Lu Sheng sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and started tearing the duck leg.
He had already planned his position last night. He only needed to display enough strength to stabilize his ranking, but not too much. That would be enough.
Lu Sheng planned to set his rank at Six-Vein.
Li Du was at Four-Vein. If he and his Junior Sister worked together, only some of the stronger Four-Vein disciples could handle them.
As for the other lower three grades sects, most of their first seats were only at Five-Vein. Very few were Six-Vein. After all, a Six-Vein first seat was only average in the middle three grades.
Displaying strength at the Six-Vein level would not be a problem to stabilize his ranking, but it would not be too eye-catching.
'But, how strong is the black membrane of a Six-Vein disciple? Perhaps I can compare it with Zhan Kongning's … 'Lu Sheng thought carefully.
"Creak."
Suddenly, the courtyard door opened slowly, and a figure stumbled in. It was He Xiangzi!
One of her ears was gone, and there was a big hole in her right thigh, through which she could see what was behind her. She was lying on the ground, covered in blood.
Lu Sheng sighed helplessly, stood up, and hurried over.
"Senior Sister, are you alright? Didn't you go to scout for information? How did you end up like this? "
He quickly helped He Xiangzi up.
"I'm fine … I … I didn't lose …" He Xiangzi smiled, barely managing to speak before fainting.
Lu Sheng had no choice but to carry her and put her on the bed in the side hall to rest.
Then, he gave her some medicine to heal her wounds. Seeing the flesh slowly growing back at a speed visible to the naked eye, he finally felt relieved.
Returning to the entrance of the side hall, he looked at the bustling scene outside.
"Looks like I'll have to display my strength. Otherwise, just anyone would dare to step on me." He carefully recalled the level of Zhan Kongning's black membrane. Black gas rolled out of his body and quickly formed a black membrane. After fine-tuning for a while, his original black membrane gradually became thinner, and the black gas inside it was also more than 99% less than before.
"It's about time … There shouldn't be a problem with this level of strength. It's about the same strength as Zhan Kongning. "Lu Sheng was very satisfied with the results of his micro manipulation.
After preparing the preparatory work, he looked at the sky. It was still early, not noon yet.
"Just in time. If I finish it quickly, I can still have lunch when I come back." With this thought in mind, he strode towards the gate of the Grace Garden.
When he pushed open the courtyard door, he saw that the situation outside was extremely tense.
The Sun Genesis Sect, Ice Valley, and Yellow Sand Sword Sect — three of the five sects in this district had appeared.
The crowd was divided into three groups and gathered on the central avenue to confront each other.
The avenue ran through the entire Jasper Palace. It was very wide and could accommodate dozens of people.
The people of the Sun Genesis Sect were imposing and high-spirited. The leader was a strong man with two heavy hammers in his hands. The hammers were covered with ferocious spikes. It was the first seat of the Sun Genesis Sect, Huang Sicheng.
On the side of the Ice Valley, first seat Li Xiuying's pretty face was slightly cold. She held a broken sword in her hand, and there were faint traces of blood on her body. Obviously, the situation was not good.
The leader of the Yellow Sand Sword Sect seemed to be a noble young master. His face was like jade, his long hair draped over his shoulders, and he held a long sword that was as thin as a spike. The six people behind him were all strong men with black bamboo hats.
The three parties gathered together. Obviously, they had already fought before.
"Oh? The people of the Prime Devil Sect are out again. "The noble young master of the Yellow Sand Sword Sect smiled unexpectedly when he saw Lu Sheng come out. "The Prime Devil Sect dealt with the Alternate Cave Sect before. It seems that they have some strength."
Lu Sheng glanced at the crowd and saw Yue Shengya among the girls of the Ice Valley. She seemed to be telling him to go back.
However, since he came out to deal with the ranking, he naturally wouldn't go back so easily.
His gaze turned around and fell on the noble young master of the Yellow Sand Sword Sect.
"Forget it, just you."
"Huh?" The smile on the noble young master's face froze. "What … did you just say?"
Lu Sheng didn't bother to talk nonsense. Why would he talk so much with these four or five veins little guys? If they weren't convinced, he could just say one word, fight!
He strode toward the people of the Yellow Sand Sword Sect.
"Is this kid crazy?" The noble young master had a strange expression and took a step back. "Jian Yi, you go and test him."
"Yes."
A man in a bamboo hat behind him responded. He stood up and walked toward Lu Sheng.
From the gate of the Grace Garden to the position of the Yellow Sand Sword Sect, it was less than a hundred steps.
The man in a bamboo hat quickly met Lu Sheng who was walking toward him.
The sword on his back suddenly slashed and fell into his hand like lightning.
"Secret Skill – Wild Sand!"
"Swish!!"
The thorn-like blade instantly transformed into a large sheet of yellow light, which rained down on Lu Sheng.
The sharp tip of the sword shone like a gem under the light. There was even a faint yellow light diffusing. It was definitely not a simple rain of swords.
"Hoo …"
Lu Sheng gently opened his mouth and blew out a mouthful of black gas. The Devil Qi driven by the Karmaless Ghost Face Mantra gently spread out.
"Ding ding ding ding …"
A large number of sword tips fell on Lu Sheng's body, but were all blocked by a layer of black membrane. The rain-like sword shadows stirred up a lot of sparks.
"This is!!?" The pupils of the man in a bamboo hat shrank. He couldn't believe that he couldn't even break Lu Sheng's black membrane.
His Secret Technique focused on speed. With enough speed and a sharp Yellow Sand Sword, it was enough to make any opponent fear him. But now …
"He Xiangzi, watch carefully. This is how the Karmaless Ghost Face Mantra is used …" Lu Sheng suddenly said.
His hand easily brushed past the side of the man in a bamboo hat. It didn't hit him, but simply brushed past him.
But at this moment, a rope-like Devil Qi quickly attached itself to the man in a bamboo hat like a living thing.
At the entrance of the Prime Devil Sect, He Xiangzi had forced herself to walk out. She was leaning against the door and looking in this direction.
Hearing Lu Sheng's voice, He Xiangzi looked nervous. She opened her mouth to speak but didn't say anything.
At this moment, Lu Sheng had already brushed past the man in a bamboo hat.
The man in a bamboo hat, who was originally normal, took a few steps forward. He was about to turn around and attack when his face suddenly turned black and he started coughing violently.
"Cough, cough, cough!!"
He bent down and knelt on the ground. He coughed loudly and spat out mouthfuls of blood.
"The poisonous Devil Qi of the Prime Devil Sect?" The young master's face darkened. "I'd like to try it myself." He slowly pulled out his sword and walked toward Lu Sheng.
"Secret Skill — Sandstorm!" He took a few steps forward, picking up his speed. Before he could even get close to Lu Sheng, he abruptly stabbed out with his sword. A vast expanse of yellow sword light, far more violent than the bamboo hat man's, rained down on Lu Sheng's vitals.
Wherever the sword light went, the flowers and plants were instantly crushed, turning yellow and dehydrated. It was as if they were swept by a real sandstorm. Even the water in their bodies was sucked dry.
Passing by the man in a bamboo hat, Lu Sheng continued to walk toward the young master.
"Different opponents require different ways of dealing with them. Like this type. You can control it carefully. The goal is to constantly manipulate the Devil Qi to enter through the gaps behind him. Of course, the corrosion of the black membrane won't take effect so quickly. You need to be flexible enough to dodge and prolong the time. And the movement technique has to be dodged at all times. It's very restrictive. The best way is to use the battle of attrition to wear down the opponent's black membrane. "
Lu Sheng walked to the front of the sandstorm sword light.
He suddenly slapped him.
His whole arm disappeared into the sword light in the blink of an eye.
Boom!!
There was a loud noise.
The sword light disappeared. The young master was nowhere to be seen. Only a big round hole was left on the side wall.
Lu Sheng withdrew his hand.
"But, that's your way. I don't have to think so much."
"…" He Xiangzi opened her mouth and was speechless. She could only stare at this scene blankly.
The other two sects were silent for a while.
In the Ice Valley's team, Yue Shengya covered her mouth with her hand, suppressing her almost uncontrollable scream.
The chief disciples of the Ice Valley and the Sun Genesis Sect were both silent. Both of them were thinking about it. If they were the ones to face that slap, what would the result be?
Only then did the disciples of the other sects come to their senses. The buzzing sound gradually rose. Looks of fear and awe fell on Lu Sheng. That kind of power and speed, no one present was sure that they could take it.
"Young Master!!" The people of the Yellow Sand Sword Sect finally came to their senses. They hurried out of the hole and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The two men in bamboo hats who were left behind seemed to be elders. One of them looked deeply at Lu Sheng.
"The Yellow Sand Sword Sect admits defeat!" The other cupped his fists at Lu Sheng, turned around, and followed up with his people.
"So, in this world, there are no weak secret arts, only people who don't know how to use them." Lu Sheng looked at He Xiangzi calmly.
"The secret arts of the Prime Devil Sect are rumored to be weak. But in my hands, it's the strongest!"
He Xiangzi's blood boiled as she listened. She even trembled with excitement.
"Junior Apprentice Brother …"
…
Shangyang Family.
The next day in the Spirit Cave.
"I said, this is the last time." Shangyang Fei's delicate and pitiful face was extremely ugly. Her hand was even gently stroking the curved knife at her waist.
"We also said that we have the right to intervene in the transfer of the 72 judges."
In the crimson cave, in the middle of the sword furnaces, three old men with red hair and beards sat cross-legged in a circular array on the ground.
"But you only intervened at this critical moment!" Shangyang Fei felt an unvented anger in her chest that could explode at any time.
Inside the crimson furnace, the flames were jumping and burning. The heat filled every inch of the space.
Just the hot air here alone could burn an ordinary person's lungs in an instant, not to mention staying here for a long time.
This was one of the core secret caves of the Shangyang Family. It was one of the best places to smelt Divine Weapon fragments. It was also where the three elders of the Shangyang Family lived.
But the hot air here was nowhere near as hot as the anger in Shangyang Fei's chest.
"If we didn't intervene at this moment, would we just sit and watch you transfer the judges to fight the Yan God of the Lin Family? Do you know how much damage that would cause? "
One of the elders said slowly.
"Shangyang Fei, you have to understand that the family's training and hope for you are not something you can use to act presumptuously."
Shangyang Fei slowly gripped the hilt of her knife.
"Step down. This is a place of suppression. You shouldn't be here, "the elder said lightly.
Shangyang Fei had never hated these so-called old freaks as much as she did now.
"Times are changing. The world is changing. The Great Song … is also changing. Only you …"
Expressionless, she turned and walked toward the exit.
Perhaps the Shangyang Family was in need of a complete revolution.
