"Stop!" Shangyang Kunyun roared.
But Lu Sheng couldn't be bothered with him. He felt like it was a waste of time to say a few more words to these princelings.
After cultivating the Enmity Fire Devil Body, he could clearly feel his physical body getting stronger. The terrifying heat and flames let him know that he had surpassed the peak state of the Destroyer and reached a whole new level.
And this was just one more devil body. There were still six more. If he could cultivate all of them, who knew how much stronger he would become?
He was looking forward to it.
Shangyang Peipei looked sympathetically at Kunyun and the others. She had heard about what happened between Shangyang Ruo and Shangyang Kunyun. This young master from the branch family had been in love with Miss Shangyang Ruo for a long time, but she didn't expect her grandfather, who was a longtime elder, to look down on him. Instead, he chose Lu Sheng, Young Master Lu, who had more potential.
Although Shangyang Ruo herself had tried to stop him in the end, the two men could be considered to have become enemies.
But what was unexpected was that Lu Sheng didn't even have any impression of Shangyang Ruo, as if he had completely forgotten everything that had happened.
"Come back here!!" Shangyang Kunyun was held back by his Divine Weapon companions. Although he roared unwillingly, he couldn't handle the number of people holding him back. Finally, Lu Sheng left the bamboo forest leisurely, and Shangyang Kunyun didn't move at all.
Opening the bag in his hand, he saw many leather pouches and small bottles, labeled with the names of all kinds of medicines. Most of them were aphrodisiacs, and a few were supplements for the body.
Peipei laughed.
"It's a pity that Young Master Lu didn't try it in the Red Pavilion …" She rubbed her chest against Lu Sheng's elbow. "Why don't we let Peipei help you test the power of these powders here?" Her voice was soft, and her eyes were seductive. She was almost pressed against Lu Sheng's side.
How could Lu Sheng test out this kind of unknown medicinal powder? Unless he personally supervised the refinement, he would never try this kind of foreign medicine just because of his physical fitness.
"Forget it. By the way, what about the small gathering you mentioned?" Lu Sheng was not interested in this kind of woman who was obviously a social butterfly.
"Alright … Let's gather outside the bamboo forest, near the tower. There's …"
Suddenly, Peipei did not finish her sentence. She looked in the direction of the Red Pavilion in a daze.
Lu Sheng turned his head and discovered that the Red Pavilion, which had been calm just a moment ago, was now ablaze with flames. The black ash and heat brought by the flames were slowly spreading in all directions.
From afar, he could even hear the faint crackling sounds of explosions.
"Big fire?" Lu Sheng was puzzled.
…
Li Shunxi tightened the ox mask on his head. Together with Sun Meng, who was also known as Night Firefly, they led the people they had just rescued out of the cave in the red pavilion.
Coincidentally, the two guards guarding the door were diverted away by the chores. They didn't notice the people who walked out.
The dark night sky was half dyed red by the rising flames. Messy cries of putting out the fire could be heard from afar.
Li Shunxi looked at the fire and let out a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, Silver succeeded. This Triple Elemental Fire cannot be extinguished by normal water, and it's hard to suppress a fire of this scale. But the Shangyang Family is one of the Nine Great Families. They are very powerful and cannot be judged by normal standards. We must leave as soon as possible."
Sun Meng nodded. This ruthless master who had been kidnapped by Li Shunxi from his family had completely lost the fierceness he had when they first met. He was just an ordinary, autistic young man.
No matter how talented he was, when he met Li Shunxi, who he truly recognized as a friend, he was still willing to plunge into this whirlpool.
The two of them rushed into the Shangyang Family's Wisdom Garden's Red Pavilion in a moment of anger, just for the girl they had met not long ago.
Thinking about it now, Li Shunxi was a little scared. In the Red Pavilion, if they weren't careful and were discovered by the guards around them, the radiation from the four Divine Weapon Pools was no joke.
"Luckily, we're out now. We'll leave immediately. I have a way to contact Silver. Let's go. "
"Big Brother Li, you … you don't have to care about me … this is our fate …" Lianji's face was bitter and pitiful.
"We're friends. Since we're friends, we shouldn't just watch you fall into the abyss."
Li Shunxi smiled as he led the two of them. Relying on the Jade of Secrets's prediction, they dodged the Shangyang Family guards that kept surging out.
Lianji was so touched that her eyes became misty, and she couldn't speak. Sun Meng, who was watching from the side, curled his lips.
This was how Li Shunxi tricked him onto the boat.
The three of them moved quickly, and soon left the bamboo forest and entered the hilly area. Passing through holes of different sizes, they finally saw the Shangyang Family's guests. With Li Shunxi's Jade of Secrets's ability, hiding his aura and sneaking into the guests was just a basic ability. As long as they were among the guests, they would be much safer.
The three of them stealthily rushed toward the pavilion where the guests were.
They were getting closer and closer.
"Bam!"
Suddenly, a silver-white figure flew over and landed heavily on the ground in front of the three of them.
This person was a young woman covered in white ice armor. However, the skin on both of her arms had been peeled off, and they were dripping with blood. There was a bowl-sized hole in her lower abdomen, and one could see her squirming internal organs.
The ice armor on her used to be beautiful, but now it looked like a broken armor. Only half of it was left hanging on some non-vital parts, and the vital parts were all broken.
"Silver!!" Li Shunxi was shocked when he saw this person. He rushed over and helped her up. "Are you okay, Silver?!"
The woman was his companion, Ice Seal Snake Le Yin. He used to be a wandering solo expert and had an extremely powerful whip technique as well as a secret art of concealment.
The woman coughed a few times and stood up.
"I … won't die."
"You won't die, but you're not far from it." Sun Meng, who had never been on good terms with her, started to mock her. But he couldn't help but move in front of Silver, looking around cautiously.
"Grandson, do you want your grandma to die that badly? Don't you know how much I loved you before? "Silver retorted decisively, showing off her poisonous tongue.
Sun Meng resisted the urge to turn around and stomp her to death.
"If you don't die this time, I'll teach you a lesson when we get back!"
"If I don't die this time, I'll burn joss paper for you when we get back. Don't worry." Silver's face was pale, but her words were still unforgiving.
"Can the two of you be more serious!" Li Shunxi felt like cursing at them. "We'll talk after we get out of here!"
"I'm serious. I just feel like I can't run away this time, so I want to say everything I want to say before I die." Silver's expression was calm. She pressed on the wound on her abdomen, letting it heal quickly. But her real injury wasn't this. Instead, it was a strange power that was injected into her body. It was the unique power of the Shangyang Family.
"Aren't you usually very confident? Why are you so pessimistic this time? "Sun Meng couldn't help but look back at her.
"That's because she already knows how big the gap between us is …"
Just as Sun Meng turned his head, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of him without him noticing.
It was as if this person had teleported here. There was no place to hide in the open land around them.
But this person suddenly appeared in front of the four of them without any warning.
It was a man in white, wearing a triangular white jade hat. His face looked a little wooden, and there was a scar on the left side of his face, as if it had been scratched by the claws of some beast.
His body was slightly thin, and he held a huge iron pen that was more than half a meter long in his hand.
"An artist from the Shangyang Family?!" Li Shunxi was shocked. He couldn't help but take a step back, his expression darkening.
The Nine Families all had their own top-level war machines. For example, the Lin Family's Swallow God, and the Shangyang Family's Judge. But these top-level generals wouldn't be mobilized for small matters. Each of them had their own area of responsibility. They were leaders, and wouldn't move easily.
So in reality, the ones that were more commonly known by the lower-level experts were the weaker Nine Families' mechanized troops.
The generals in charge of normal defense in the Shangyang Family were collectively called artists.
Only experts above Six-Vein in the Realm of Bind were qualified to be artists. From Six-Vein to Snake, the success rate was less than one percent. Most experts were forever stuck at Six-Vein or Seven-Vein, or died of old age in seclusion.
In this regard, there was no difference between Noble Families and Sects.
That was why the number of artists wasn't small. Naturally, his reputation was far greater than that of an Infernal Judge.
"As expected, I just wanted to let her run around and see if I could fish out a few companions. I didn't think it would work," the man in white said lightly.
Li Shunxi was fine with the mask, and his aura was hidden. No one could tell that he was the bearer of the Jade of Secrets.
But the others were different.
Especially when the artist saw Lianji behind them.
"So it's a repeat offender with ulterior motives …" The artist laughed coldly. "Taking advantage of the situation. How dare you come to the Shangyang Family."
Step by step, he held the iron pen and closed in on the four.
"This is troublesome …" Li Shunxi and the others retreated. Sun Meng was the strongest among the four, but they weren't outside. They were in Wisdom Garden, the Shangyang Family's territory.
If something happened and they were delayed …
"Leave this to me. You guys go first!" Sun Meng stood up and said coldly.
"Go? I'm here, and you think you can leave? "The artist charged forward, his body twisting as he pointed at Sun Meng from the right.
The experts of the Noble Families, other than using all kinds of secret arts as killing moves, usually relied on basic martial arts. Their martial arts were different from that of mortals. In order to maximize the power of their bloodline, many of their moves were unique, and ordinary people couldn't imitate them at all.
Right now, the artist's movements were like this.
His movements were strange as he dodged Sun Meng's block and lightly pointed with the iron pen.
"Bam!"
A poisonous black light exploded. Sun Meng's other hand quickly turned into a brass color and met the attack.
"Clang!!"
As soon as the two touched, there was a loud clashing sound.
Sun Meng's expression changed. He grunted as he felt a vicious force travel from his palm to his heart.
He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Go!!"
Li Shunxi's body trembled. He resisted the urge to rush forward. He hugged Silver, grabbed Lianji, and was about to escape from the other side.
"Idiot!" The artist broke through Sun Meng's defense and pointed at Li Shunxi.
"I'm not dead yet!! Get out!! " Silver, who had been weak all this time, suddenly exploded. A strange whip that was like a white light suddenly wrapped around the artist's legs.
"This is …??!" The artist lost his balance. He flipped a few times in the air with one hand before he landed and steadied himself.
But the whip was still wrapped around his legs and couldn't be freed.
"I've hidden for so long just for this chance …" Silver stood up and laughed coldly. "Once you're bound by my Ice Seal Snake, even if you break free from the whip, your power will drop to an unbearable level."
She gripped the whip in her hand tightly, her expression fierce.
"Now, die!!" Silver and Sun Meng charged at the artist at the same time.
