Moving their entire clan, along with the Prime Devil Sect and the Crimson Sun Sect, meant that if they wanted to gain a foothold in the Great Yin, not only would they need to be accepted by the people here, but they would also need to redistribute the cake. Also, they had to show their claws and fangs without crossing the bottom line of the local factions.
Therefore, after Lu Sheng cleared out all the trouble along the way, he rushed to the Great Yin in one go. He was ready to clear the path for the follow-up team and open up their territory.
He had heard from the hunters about the most powerful sect in this area, the Spring Sun Sect. Many rich families and gentry clans wanted to send their children to the Spring Sun Sect to learn martial arts. Within a hundred miles, the Spring Sun Sect was the best place to develop.
Therefore, when he saw the group of people with the same token, Lu Sheng's heart jumped, and he immediately thought of the Spring Sun Sect.
He stood up, stretched his wrist, and walked up the stone steps leading up the mountain.
After walking up the stone steps for about an hour, at a moderate pace, Lu Sheng soon saw the old and spacious temple at the top of the mountain.
There was a plaque hanging on the temple, with three words written neatly, but he didn't recognize.
Lu Sheng immediately saw the group of people who had just come up. They were all gathered to the right of the temple gate, and were chatting with a young monk.
The sun was setting, and the light was getting darker.
Lu Sheng followed them to a secluded corner, stood under a crooked tree, and looked at the people on the mountain peak.
Soon, the temple opened its doors. This temple was a bit strange — it only opened at night.
Groups of worshippers entered the temple in order, and the young monk called out to them to donate money for the incense. Soon, it was the group that Lu Sheng was staring at.
"… Benefactor Wen, it's been a long time …" Lu Sheng heard a welcoming monk come out from afar, and said respectfully to the group of people.
"I was delayed by something in the sect. Didn't I come as soon as I had time?" a woman said softly with a smile.
The group of people walked into the temple, and after about half an incense stick's time, they slowly walked out.
The leader was the young woman who had just spoken. And the head of the temple personally escorted them.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. His powerful five senses instantly captured the conversation between these people.
"… Our Spring Sun Sect hates to burn incense at night. If it weren't for Senior Martial Brother Mu specifically asking for the Blessed Copper Coins here, we wouldn't have to travel so far," a girl said in a low voice.
"Lower your voice. Don't let others hear you." The female leader sighed. "Senior Brother Mu naturally has his reasons. I can see that the abbot is also walking like a dragon or a tiger. He doesn't look like someone who would resort to trickery, so he must have some ability. With his ability, even if it doesn't work, it won't be much worse. "
"Sister Qingsu, you're just too gullible and trusting of others," the girl from before added.
The host, who was standing beside them, was not angry when he heard the two girls say that he was incompetent. Instead, he just smiled at them.
"Alright, if that's the case, we'll be taking our leave." The woman surnamed Wen cupped her fists and led the group down the mountain.
Right at this moment, a sharp howl suddenly exploded out.
Whoosh! Whoosh! A row of silver-blue steel needles were driven neatly into the ground in front of her. They were lined up in a straight line.
The woman surnamed Wen had already taken a step back, dodging the steel needles. She forcefully twisted her body, raised her hand, and stabbed at a corner.
Whoosh!
A silver-white light flashed.
A handsome man with a manic expression slowly walked out of the corner. The man held a short, black sword in his hand. The tip of the sword slowly spat out silver-blue light, blocking the silver-white light.
"Wen Qingsu, it's been a year since we last met. Do you know how I've spent this year?" The man wore a black jacket, inside of which were layers of white bandages.
"Devil's Hand Scholar, you really did appear …" Wen Qingsu said coldly. "Brother Wen Ruo, you can come out now."
As soon as she finished speaking, an extremely muscular man slowly walked out of the crowd. The man's hair was all white, and he didn't look young.
"I have to make you stay this time! Devil's Hand Scholar! "The man huffed coldly, and without another word, he rushed up and started fighting.
The three of them started fighting randomly on the field, and it was very lively. Lu Sheng watched from the side.
"The movements of these three mainly use internal energy similar to Inner Qi. Their movements are well-controlled, so they should have a complete inheritance."
As she spoke, the three people in the field began to fight. Wen Qing Ju waved her hand, and large amounts of silvery white sand shot out in all directions like flowers being scattered by a heavenly maiden.
The Devil's Hand Scholar laughed, and a faint blue glow appeared on his body, blocking all the sand. Then he leapt forward, and with a blur, he hit Wen Qingsu's stomach.
The muscular man also punched the Devil's Hand Scholar's back, but the strong force didn't seem to affect him. Instead, it was directed to Wen Qingsu's palm.
"The winner is decided." Seeing this, Lu Sheng had a rough idea of how the Great Yin Dynasty fought.
"Martial arts don't look like martial arts, and secret techniques don't look like secret techniques. It's more like martial arts that are more mysterious. They don't have any energy other than Inner Qi in their bodies, "he concluded. Seeing Wen Qingsu spit out blood, his heart jumped, and he hid in the shadows.
After the Devil's Hand Scholar succeeded, he laughed and leapt, disappearing into the forest in a few steps.
Others couldn't catch up, but that didn't mean Lu Sheng couldn't. He moved his feet, and the Blood Web Force Field carried him quickly towards the Devil's Hand Scholar. He didn't use his five senses to sense him, but the powerful Inner Qi circulating in his opponent's body.
After turning left and right in the forest, Lu Sheng quickly caught up to the Devil's Hand Scholar, who was slightly panting and resting.
From the power he estimated just now, this seemingly powerful Devil's Hand Scholar's energy level was barely at the level of Bind, but his technique was good. He could borrow the penetrative power to attack and injure a strong opponent. This showed that this person's talent and technique were good.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. If the Great Song's side was clumsily using the black membrane, then the Devil's Hand Scholar was spreading out the black membrane and gathering it from time to time to unleash greater power and defense.
This allowed him to have the offensive and defensive power of a Three-Vein Level, even though he only had the energy of a One-Vein Level Bind.
"Hello." Lu Sheng opened his arms and walked out of his hiding place, indicating that he didn't have any ill intentions. "Hello, I won't hurt you. Don't worry. Can we talk?" He gave a stiff smile.
The Devil's Hand Scholar was about to close his eyes and meditate when he suddenly heard a voice behind him. He was so shocked that his entire body trembled, and he almost lost control.
After taking a few deep breaths, he slowly calmed his heart that had been scared out of his wits. Then he turned to look at Lu Sheng.
"You are?" Even with his senses, he couldn't sense this person. This really scared him.
"I'm just a normal person passing by. I don't know much about this place. Can you give me a good introduction?" Lu Sheng stood in front of the Devil's Hand Scholar.
"Normal … person?" The Devil's Hand Scholar was very angry. But the other person didn't do anything too extreme. He couldn't vent his anger. "What do you want to ask?" He could already feel the terrifying aura of the other person. This aura made it hard for him to breathe.
Lu Sheng paused for a moment. Then, he asked all the questions he knew about the nearby terrain and forces.
The Devil's Hand Scholar thought that this was just a test. This senior was very powerful, so he answered all the questions honestly. But then he realized that Lu Sheng was really asking seriously.
He quickly answered all the questions, and even explained some of the details.
"Senior … can I go now?" the Devil's Hand Scholar asked carefully after he finished.
"Of course." Lu Sheng only stopped the other person to ask about the situation. He didn't plan on killing him.
He learned from the Devil's Hand Scholar. The strongest sect in the area was the Spring Sun Sect. Their branch sect leader was even an Earth Level master.
The so-called Earth Level.
The Great Yin divided the masters of the Pugilistic World into normal experts, those who had some fame in a small area, and then those whose fame resounded in one or more cities.
Finally, there was the legendary level. Resounded in a large area. They had some fame in the entire country.
The Earth Level was actually the Snake Level, which was what the Great Yin called it. It belonged to the third level, and was a powerful person who could rule over a city.
Lu Sheng asked about the situation and found out that the Spring Sun Sect was actually a branch of a large sect that spanned the entire country. This was just a branch of a branch.
In the Great Yin, the sects had very tight control over the land. There were three big sects in total, and they covered everything like the sun in the sky. They had branches everywhere.
After letting the Devil's Hand Scholar go, Lu Sheng organized his thoughts. If he wanted to completely integrate into the Great Yin, he had to start with the three big sects.
The Devil's Hand Scholar was a wanted criminal of the Spring Sun Sect, so he knew them very well. He had originally planned on destroying the Spring Sun Sect's annual Rising Sun Festival.
He didn't expect to run into the direct disciple Wen Qingsu, so he tried to take her down. Unfortunately, he didn't succeed. In the end, he also ran into Lu Sheng.
"I don't know much about the language, martial arts, and customs here. I can sneak in and take a look."
Lu Sheng wanted to learn things here systematically. Especially the martial arts system here.
"Rising Sun Festival … this is a good chance." The Rising Sun Festival's restriction was that anyone under 30, as long as they had the talent and determination, could join the Spring Sun Sect.
At the very most, Lu Sheng was only twenty-three. He met all the requirements.
"So I'm only 23 this year …" Lu Sheng thought about his age, and suddenly felt a bit dazed. 23 … But adding his age from his previous life, he was already over 50 years old. He didn't have the vitality that a 23 year old should have.
"Let's do this. Since the Spring Sun Sect is a famous sect in the Great Yin, I'll join them first and see what's going on."
From the Devil's Hand Scholar, he sensed that the system here wasn't the normal inner Qi system of the Great Song. It was something similar to inner Qi, but even purer and more powerful.
Coincidentally, he couldn't improve his martial arts anymore. The situation in the Great Yin could help him break through the bottleneck.
Lu Sheng left Sleeping Moon Mountain in the middle of the night and asked around. After two "friendly" directions from the residents of the mountain, he quickly found the Three Fruits Lake, where the Rising Sun Festival was being held. He quickly got on the main road in that direction.
Walking along the main road, he saw quite a few people. They were all young people like him, rushing towards Three Fruits Lake.
Even traveling at night couldn't stop these young people's martial hearts.
There were also some ox carts pulling many children. It seemed like they also wanted to join the Spring Sun Sect.
Lu Sheng learned from the Devil's Hand Scholar that this was very normal in the Great Yin Dynasty. Everyone worshipped martial arts. Even the old farmers knew some martial arts. A strong man who hadn't trained before might not be able to beat an old man.
Because of this, the three major sects weren't just normal martial arts sects in the Great Yin. They were also the holy land of martial arts in the hearts of countless people.
