The Lin Family's Bright Star Pavilion.
The Bright Star Pavilion, forever glowing with a faint blue light, was the largest and most magnificent treasure auction house in all of Eternal Peace City.
Many families and sects would send treasures or secrets to the Bright Star Pavilion for them to auction on their behalf.
For no other reason than that it was the strictest, fairest, and most transparent.
The Bright Star Pavilion was a blue and white tower with eight floors. Each floor was guarded by the Lin Family's powerful Swallow Deities. Anyone who tried to steal the treasures would only be able to enter, never to leave.
Now, Lin Beikai tidied his clothes and looked up at the blue and white tower. His expression was solemn and somewhat sorrowful.
"Everyone knows that this is the Bright Star Pavilion of the Lin Family, but no one knows that this is also where we hold our secret meeting. This trip must be because of Lin Huandao's death, "he said in a low voice.
The black and white women followed him from the left and right.
"Lin Huandao was killed by the Mirage Water Palace. Even if he died from serious injuries, we can't be blamed," the black woman said lightly.
"The elders might not think so. They've already reported it to the elders. Come, let's go see this legendary family trial." Lin Beikai strode into the Bright Star Pavilion.
A beautiful female general on guard at the door bowed slightly to him.
"Young Master Beikai, the elders' meeting has begun. We're waiting for you."
Lin Beikai nodded. "Is Duke Airan here too?"
"He arrived early. Duke Airan just returned from the east. He came to the meeting as soon as he heard the news. He didn't even have lunch, "the female general reminded him in a low voice.
Lin Beikai's heart skipped a beat.
Duke Airan was Lin Huandao's grandfather. He was the strongest person in the Lin Family apart from the three elders.
In the current Lin Family, the number of people who could defeat Lin Beikai could be counted on two hands. One of them was Duke Airan.
"Thank you." He nodded slightly to the female general and strode into the pavilion.
The Bright Star Pavilion was closed for renovations today. The usually crowded first floor was now deserted. There were only guards on guard and some young people chatting and laughing on wooden couches.
Seeing Lin Beikai enter, the excited Lin Family youths quieted down. Many who had been sitting with their backs to Lin Beikai could not help but turn to look at him. There was a strange look in his eyes.
Lin Beikai was like the sun at high noon in the Lin family. His reputation was illustrious, and he had always been the role model that many elders used to teach their children.
But now, he was going to be examined by the Patriarch Council. Once the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar among the younger generation of the Lin Family.
As the number one of the Lin Family's younger generation, Lin Beikai was the absolute representative of excellence and the elite. He had even been appointed as the candidate to be the next Patriarch.
But now …
Ignoring these people's whispers and strange looks, Lin Beikai walked up to the second floor as if nothing had happened.
Similarly, some youths with higher cultivations were gathered here.
The distribution of positions in the Bright Star Court was based on one's cultivation base. If one's cultivation base was not high enough, they would not be able to enter the higher levels. He didn't even have the right to watch.
Then the third, the fourth, the fifth …
Each level was smaller than the one before, and the cultivation of the people who stayed in the different levels continued to rise.
From the younger generation of the Lin Family to the core stewards, the heads of each branch family, and the Great General of the Yan Family, all the representatives of the Lin Family had arrived.
When he reached the seventh floor, Patriarch Lin Bongran, dressed in a moon-white Confucian robe, looked at him worriedly.
"Don't worry." Lin Beikai smiled brightly. "If that woman Shangyang Fei can do it, I can too! It'll be fine. "
Lin Bongran had never carefully restrained his son since he was young, and had always allowed him to do as he pleased. But at this moment, a strong sense of regret welled up from the bottom of his heart.
He knew his son too well. Even if Lin Huandao was not necessarily killed by him, he must have had something to do with it. Otherwise, he would not be in this state.
"I'll be fine. You'll be fine too. "Lin Beikai, who also knew his father, smiled.
"I …" Lin Bongran opened his mouth, but did not know what to say. He had a feeling that something big would happen today. Whether it was good or bad, the Lin Family would definitely be shaken.
…
Burp!
Lu Sheng let out a burp.
He had eaten too much …
The small lake in the River of Poisoned Fog was now only about the same height as his waist. Although there was still an endless supply of water flowing in from afar, it would be impossible for it to return to its original state in a short period of time.
His huge body, which was close to six meters tall, now bulged around his stomach. Devil Qi surged all over him, and Prime Devil Qi was so thick that it overflowed uncontrollably.
He felt that his flesh, blood, bones, and other organs were all soaked in Prime Devil Qi.
The last two Devil Will hearts were already full and could no longer take in any more. They were completely saturated. These two Devil Will hearts, which were much stronger than before, were now just waiting for them to hatch.
"Let's go back first." Completely unable to absorb any more water, Lu Sheng turned around and went back the way he came.
Along the way, because the water level had dropped, he saw many holes of different sizes on the inner walls of the small lake. In these holes, he could see clay sculptures of women with many arms.
Most of the holes were very shallow, and one could see what was going on inside at a glance. Many of the walls in the holes were carved with complicated and strange patterns. Some of the carvings of women with only the upper half of their bodies stared at everything in front of them with demonic and evil eyes.
"These are …??" Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and he went closer to take a closer look. He could see that these women were not wearing tops, revealing their full breasts. Because of their voluptuous figures, they looked very alluring.
But these clay sculptures had too many arms.
"Some have 18 arms, some have 24 …" Lu Sheng did a quick count. He walked to a hole and reached in to touch one of the clay sculptures.
To his surprise, these clay sculptures were extremely soft to the touch, as if he was touching a real person.
Lu Sheng suddenly recalled something that his teacher Liu Shanzi had once mentioned to him.
The story of how the Prime Devil Sect was founded had to start from a Devil Disaster a long, long time ago.
At that time, there were no sects. Some Noble Families' Divine Weapons and Devil Blades were broken, and they were unwilling to accept the fate of their bloodline being weakened and disappeared generation by generation. So they began to pursue different kinds of power.
Among them, the powerful physical strength of Devils also entered their sights.
And the Prime Devil Sect was formed by these people who chose the power of Devils. In its heyday, the Prime Devil Sect had suppressed countless Devils.
Many of these Devils had been destroyed by the passage of time, while some of the stronger ones hid in the depths of the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to break out of their seals. For example, the one under the knife.
But no matter what, as long as the red symbol stone pillar of the Prime Devil Sect was still there, nothing would happen.
And because of this, the deepest part of the Prime Devil Sect, where many Devils had been suppressed, became strange and dangerous because of the evil Devil Qi emitted by the suppressed Devils.
Under the contamination of large amounts of Devil Qi, there would be many strange things and dangers in the depths of the Prime Devil Sect.
"Crack …"
Suddenly, a clay sculpture moved slowly. This half-naked demonic woman struggled and twisted away from the cave wall. She waved her dozens of slender arms and slowly moved towards Lu Sheng.
This woman had a strange smile on her face. When she moved, she was like a clay sculpture. Her movements were stiff, and she looked completely harmless.
"Is this a Devil?" Lu Sheng was close to six meters tall. Facing this clay sculpture that was only one or two meters tall, he looked like he was looking at a chicken.
He reached into a hole and took out a clay sculpture. He put it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully.
"Hmm … not a Devil. Devils shouldn't be this weak. It's probably a monster that was mutated by the contamination …"
"Puff."
Suddenly, the clay sculpture opened her mouth and spat out a cloud of black gas. It landed right on Lu Sheng's face.
In an instant, his expression changed. Not because the black gas was poisonous, but because …
"So smelly!! So smelly!!! "Lu Sheng hurriedly threw the clay sculpture in his hand away. He took two steps back and covered his nose with a clean hand.
This feeling was like jumping from a clean and pleasant environment full of fragrance to a disgusting, slippery sewage in every direction.
It felt like a mixture of toilet feces, vomit, rotten food, and other fermented pus.
The stench instantly changed Lu Sheng's understanding of smells since he was born.
After throwing the clay sculpture away, he decisively took several steps back. He did not want to go near this place anymore.
At the thought of how he had been drinking water from the River of Poisoned Fog with such a scalp-numbing stench in it, Lu Sheng's heart sank. He hurriedly left the place and returned to the cave he had been in before.
But even though he sat down in the cave to rest, he still felt sick to his stomach. It was not poison, but nausea.
After a long while, Lu Sheng finally recovered.
"Fortunately, I absorbed enough Devil Qi this time … Not to mention hatching two hearts, I can easily hatch another hundred or eighty hearts."
He observed the last two Devil Will hearts again. He had thought that they could absorb more Devil Qi. But now, it seemed that absorbing two to three times the Devil Qi of the other hearts was their limit.
This seemed to be the fixed capacity of their innate structure and could not be changed.
With a thought, the two Devil Will hearts appeared in front of Lu Sheng at the same time. They floated in the air and rotated slowly.
"Crack …"
Suddenly, a crack appeared in one of the hearts.
"No … It's a crack from before. This is the second one!" Lu Sheng noticed that the other part of the heart had a crack from before.
Soon, a wet and slippery greyish-yellow eagle crawled out of the heart.
As soon as the eagle crawled out, its body rapidly expanded, growing from a meter to more than three meters.
"Hee ~ ~"
The eagle opened its mouth and let out a sound that sounded like a human's snicker.
It had no feathers, only mucus that looked like yellow mud. When it spread its wings, large amounts of yellow mucus dripped from its wings and fell to the ground, hissing as it corroded. At the same time, an indescribable stench filled the air.
"Eagle of Disgust …" Lu Sheng could roughly guess what kind of impurities this eagle represented.
It was probably because of his strong feelings of disgust that this eagle hatched.
