"Join a sect? Try? "Lu Sheng paused, then looked Shangyang Linghui up and down.
Other than being pretty, she was a mascot. She probably couldn't even beat He Xiangzi. If he wanted her to join the Prime Devil Sect, it would most likely be to appease Shangyang Jiuli. Otherwise, she would probably keep sending girls to him for blind dates.
Thinking of this, Lu Sheng felt a headache coming on.
"How about this, I'll arrange for you to join the Prime Devil Sect. That way, it'll be convenient to take care of you."
"Okay, thank you, Big Brother Lu." Shangyang Linghui changed the way she addressed him.
"Alright, take a seat. I'm going to check on my friends." Lu Sheng stood up and left the hall, not caring about Shangyang Linghui.
After leaving the pavilion, he followed the path to the entrance of the Wisdom Garden.
In the carriage beside the pavilion, an oil lamp was lit. Li Shunxi and the others were placed on the ground for treatment.
The carriage was for the two women, while Li Shunxi and another friend were lying on the wooden frame outside.
Seeing Lu Sheng walk over, the few doctors and subordinates in charge of treating the injuries hurriedly bowed and greeted him.
Lu Sheng responded casually and dismissed them. Then, he looked at Li Shunxi, who was struggling to get up.
"What happened?"
Li Shunxi smiled bitterly.
"Did you receive the letter?"
"Yes." Lu Sheng realized that he was the one who wrote the letter.
"Then hurry up and prepare. We don't have much time." Li Shunxi shook his head.
"Are you sure??" Lu Sheng asked.
"I can only see a little! After all, such a big thing would consume too much energy. "
The two were silent for a while, and neither spoke.
After a while.
"Why did you come back and choose to go to the Red Pavilion to save people? Do you know the background of that place? "Lu Sheng was friends with Li Shunxi after all, so he asked directly.
"There's nothing I can do about it. But don't look at me like this. If I really encounter a life or death crisis, I can still escape," Li Shunxi said helplessly.
"I hope so. Once you're done, hurry up and leave before anyone recognizes you, "Lu Sheng reminded them. "If you need my help, you can go to the Prime Devil Sect. I'm usually there."
"Alright! I owe you again. "Li Shunxi smiled bitterly.
"Then I'll pay it back slowly." Lu Sheng couldn't be bothered to waste his breath. Since he had confirmed that the Devil Disaster was really caused by Li Shunxi, then the authenticity of it was interesting.
"It's getting late. It's about time. If there's a chance, let's meet again in the future. I'll take my leave first. "He bade farewell to Li Shunxi and turned to leave.
"Alright." Li Shunxi looked at her back as she gradually disappeared into the night. He let out a long sigh. "Can you still move? If you can move, then hurry up and retreat. If you don't leave now, I'm afraid I won't be able to. "
"He's not dead yet …" Ice Snake's weak voice came from the carriage.
"I can walk," Sun Meng replied reluctantly.
"Then take Lianji with you. Let's go," Li Shunxi said seriously.
…
After attending the banquet, Lu Sheng truly confirmed the possibility of the Devil Disaster.
He believed in Li Shunxi, and he believed in the Jade of Secrets.
To prevent people from dying, Li Shunxi even sent a letter to the Shangyang Family, who were responsible for the safety of the area. Unfortunately, it was of no use. He was treated as a scam and a joke. He couldn't even get past the middle management.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Other than the addition of a girl named Linghui, there were no other changes in the Prime Devil Sect.
Lu Sheng kept collecting all kinds of poisonous herbs. Shangyang Jiuli was the most helpful in this regard. She introduced Shangyang Family's channels to him and let him choose what he wanted to buy.
Lu Sheng only used half a month to collect the poisons that would normally take a long time. Then, he used the remaining half of the month to cultivate the Desolate Devil Body.
His progress was as he had expected. He advanced by leaps and bounds. The Desolate Mo Body quickly went from the beginner level to the middle to high level. That was when he finished all the basics and finally reached the stage where he could absorb the poisons and cultivate the Devil Body.
"Puchi!"
Lu Sheng stabbed his hand into the wall and pressed a few times on the soft stone wall. Soon, the stone wall on the side slowly rotated and opened up a round hole.
Inside the hole was a cold and empty light blue cave.
Withdrawing his hand, Lu Sheng stepped in without hesitation.
Passing the altar, Lu Sheng quickly saw Pill. This huge egg with human hands and legs still sat quietly in the center of the formation.
The Divine Weapon Pool still reflected light blue light that reached the top of the cave and then reflected down, forming the only source of light here.
"Buzz …"
The hole slowly closed behind Lu Sheng.
He walked around the altar, passed Pill, and slowly walked towards the Divine Weapon Pool.
Grand Elder Liu Shanzi happened to be a guest at his sect, so Lu Sheng wanted to come here to test his current strength.
The Divine Weapon Pool radiated wild Divine Weapon power. This was the power of the Divine Weapon, much stronger than the white ash from before.
But he could adjust the distance here to control the strength of this power. He could use it to test how big the gap between him and the Divine Weapon was.
"Tap, tap, tap …"
Lu Sheng walked towards the Divine Weapon Pool step by step. As he got closer, the blue Divine Weapon Pool started to ripple. Ripples spread out as if they were being blown by the wind.
When he was only two steps away, Lu Sheng slowly stood still.
"Last time, my finger was corroded here." He stretched out his right hand again and extended his index finger.
"This time, I'll try again …"
This time, he cultivated the Enmity Fire Devil Body and the Phantom Listening Devil Body. The two Devil Bodies strengthened his body at the same time, so his power was naturally much stronger than before.
"Hiss!"
A pitch-black, sticky flame started burning on Lu Sheng's index finger. His entire finger was covered in black flames from the inside out. Faint cries of pain could be heard around the flames.
This was the strongest flame of the Enmity Fire Devil Body — the Enmity Fire.
The Enmity Fire could trigger the deepest jealousy, hatred, dissatisfaction, and other negative emotions in the enemy's heart when burned. At the same time, the temperature of this flame was far higher than the Poison Fire. Back then, the Enmity Fire Devil Body could rely on its Enmity Fire to become one of the most lethal Devil Bodies in the sect because of these characteristics.
Lu Sheng looked at the Enmity Fire on his finger cautiously. This small ball could easily destroy anything below the Snake realm. It could even threaten the Snake realm.
"Hiss!"
His index finger instantly sharpened and enlarged. It did not look like a human hand at all, but more like the sharp claws of some fierce beast.
Lu Sheng slowly extended his index finger into the area within two steps of the Divine Weapon Pool.
"Hiss …"
Large amounts of black smoke rose from his index finger.
One breath … the Enmity Fire was extinguished.
Two breaths … the skin turned black and withered.
Three breaths … the flesh withered, the bone marrow solidified …
"Rip."
Lu Sheng cut off his finger with a palm knife. If he had not reacted in time, he might not even have a palm left.
"But this trip was worth it. At first, I only reached in for the first second, then quickly pulled back. But now, it lasted for three seconds. Not bad. "Lu Sheng felt the huge and precise force field in front of him.
Three breaths …
He was silent for a while. He looked down at his severed finger. The finger had completely turned into black ash and was blown away by the wind. And there was a new finger growing out of his index finger.
"Looks like there's still a long way to go …"
Lu Sheng was silent. He took one last look at the Divine Weapon Pool, then slowly retreated and left the cave.
Just as he walked out of the cave, Lu Sheng's heart suddenly trembled. He seemed to hear someone calling him.
It was not a name, but he felt that the person was calling him.
"… Come here …"
"... Come here …" An indescribable voice faintly called out to him.
He hesitated for a while, then quickly walked in the direction of the voice.
Passing through the empty buildings, Lu Sheng quickly arrived at the door of the Palace of Secret Arts. There were two disciples guarding the door.
"Did you hear the voice just now?" Lu Sheng asked casually.
"Returning to Senior Apprentice Brother Lu, we didn't hear anything." One of the disciples stepped forward and answered.
Passing through the two disciples, Lu Sheng felt that the calling was getting more urgent and clearer.
"Kacha." Passing through many checkpoints, Lu Sheng finally stood in front of the sealed room.
He knew that it should be the call of that Devil, but humans and Devils were different. He had nothing to say to the other. As for the Devil Disaster, the Prime Devil Sect was located near the Hundred Cities in the Song Territory. Even if the Devil Disaster broke out, it would be at the back.
At that time, the experts of the Noble Families and other sects would go first. Moreover, whether the Devil Disaster would really break out was still unknown.
After all, the Jade of Secrets only predicted one possibility. If it was dealt with properly, the Devil Disaster would not break out.
Standing at the door of the Palace of Secret Arts, Lu Sheng did not go in. He had not finished cultivating the Desolate Devil Body. He did not have time to waste here.
…
West Infinity Court, Mystical Flower Palace.
The West Infinity Court Lord Zhao Zhi sat elegantly in the main seat, smiling at all the experts of the Court.
Blood Infant Huang Fu sat on his right, and Vice Court Lord Zhou Zhicheng sat on his left.
"Have the invitations been sent out?" Zhao Zhi asked the Vice Court Lord softly.
"They've been sent out. All the sect masters of the nineteen nearby sects have personally delivered them. Not a single one was left out. "Zhou Zhicheng nodded.
"Then, the main topic of this meeting is to discuss the details of the reception for the Mystical Flower Wine Banquet.
"The Mystical Flower Wine Banquet is known as the Minor Alliance Meeting. All the surrounding sect masters will come in person. It will be another grand gathering of all sects. As the organizer, we, the West Infinity Court, must do our best to welcome all parties … "
Vice Court Lord Zhou Zhicheng did not understand why the Court Lord would bring forward the Mystical Flower Wine Banquet by a month.
But since the Court Lord had spoken, he could only carry it out.
Zhao Zhi smiled as he listened to the Vice Court Lord repeat his decision. Seeing that no one had any objections, he sighed in his heart. Instead, he sighed in his heart.
After hiding for so long, it was finally time for the truth to be revealed. Actually, compared to his life with his own race, he preferred the peaceful and quiet days with the humans.
Unfortunately … such days were like flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water.
For this Mystical Flower Wine Banquet, all he needed to do was gather all the sect masters of the nineteen sects and the invited guests of the Noble Families, and have the Devil Spirit personally kill them. Then, the mission would be accomplished.
At that time, all the main resistance forces in the vicinity would completely collapse. Under the crushing pressure of the Devil Army, no one would be able to resist.
The Gate of Flesh and Blood could also be built quickly before the human elites arrived.
Although the plan was simple, it required speed. As long as it was fast enough, there would be no flaws.
