Sect Master Chen paused for a moment. He waited for the old man beside him to release his chains and let out a sigh of relief.
"We call her the Eternal Slumber Divine Lord, but many people outside call her the Eternal Slumber Devil Lord."
"The Eternal Slumber Devil Lord …" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. He'd never heard of this name. Wasn't Devil Lord a common name for the Devil Army?
Zhang Shilong noticed this, and said with a bitter smile, "There's another name. Maybe you've heard of it before."
"What?"
"Qian Du."
Lu Sheng paused, then immediately remembered the history books of the Great Yin he'd read. This name was recorded many times.
"Qian Du … Don't tell me you're talking about the one who caused 37 cities in history …" He didn't finish his sentence. Because Zhang Shilong nodded helplessly, confirming his guess.
There was a terrifying plague in the history of the Great Yin.
In a few years, tens of millions of people died. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Great Yin, which only had a population of three billion.
According to the historical records, Qian Du was a special disease that spread through the air. But now it seemed …
'What's going on?' Lu Sheng's heart tightened. He was strong, but he was far from being able to kill tens of millions of people in one go. If he went all out, he'd probably only be able to kill a few hundred thousand people at most. Then, countless top experts would swarm over and kill him. After all, population was the key factor in the Great Yin.
Zhang Shilong pulled out a chair and sat down. He was already quarantined, so he might as well give up. "I don't know the whole story either. I only know that she suddenly appeared in the Great Yin. No one knows where she came from. We only know that she first came into contact with a small city, Purple Fragment City. That city was wiped out in one night. Humans, animals, and even poisonous bugs and rats were all killed. Then, wherever she went, a large-scale plague spread. She called herself Qian Du, and had terrifying regenerative abilities. Many forces at the time sent out Divine Lords, but still couldn't defeat her. "
Sect Leader Chen also sighed and continued the conversation. "I'll tell you the rest. Shilong, you don't know much either. At that time, I was only the 24th disciple under Master. My teacher, Master Sable, was one of the experts who participated in that search. "
He gestured for Lu Sheng to sit down, then slowly pulled out a chair and sat down.
"That time, even when the Weapon Grandmasters of the major clans personally made a move, they only managed to capture her. In the end, they finally found a way to kill her, which was to use the World Breaking Stone to continuously whittle down and divide her main body. Then, they would kill the parts that were cut off. Just like grinding water, they would slowly grind her to death.
"Then, the Demon Emperor happened to invade. Many forces formed an alliance to resist the Demon World's Gate. There weren't enough World Breaking Stones, so they could only temporarily seal Qian Du. In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand years had passed. The Weapon Grandmasters were being held back by the Devil Emperors, and Qian Du's power was getting stronger and stronger. There was no way to control it at all. If a little bit of it leaked out, it could cause the death of tens of thousands of people. Therefore, the Thousand Sun Sect's Sect Master, Weapon Grandmaster Kong Heng, personally came to negotiate with Master Qian Du. After a year, they came to an agreement, and Master Qian Du joined the Thousand Sun Sect. "
"Many of the older generation didn't know about this. They thought that she was just a regular elder of the Thousand Sun Sect. If you weren't chosen to be her disciple, I wouldn't have told you. At first, I thought it was just a legend. After all, who could remember something that happened thousands of years ago? Many of the records were vague. But I didn't expect … "Sect Master Chen said helplessly.
Lu Sheng roughly understood the identity and status of that strange woman … She was a top-tier Devil Master, and even a Weapon Grandmaster couldn't kill her in a short time. She was like a moving natural disaster. It was probably because of this that she could only hide in the Secret Area to avoid harming too many innocent people.
But what he couldn't figure out was why the other party valued him so much. Why did he suddenly appear to take him as a disciple and give him pointers?
Sect Master Chen's full name was Chen Jingzhi. In the Autumn Moon County Capital, he was not only the strongest, but also known for his meticulousness. At this time, he also saw through Lu Sheng's confusion.
"No matter what, it's your good fortune that you were chosen by that person. The seniors who taught her, whether male or female, old or young, none of them were mediocre. The current Vice Sect Master of the main branch was a disciple she taught before. "
"Then this quarantine?" Lu Sheng asked in confusion.
Chen Jingzhi didn't answer. He only lightly pulled out a long sword that glowed with blue light from behind his back. The sword flashed, and a blue thread appeared on a snow-white cloth.
"Pchht!"
Around Lu Sheng, many things seemed to burn and fall to the ground.
Some of them were black and fine like sesame seeds. When they touched the ground and came into contact with the tiles, there was a hissing sound of corrosion.
Large amounts of black smoke came out. The high-grade tiles that had been strengthened by the formation were quickly corroded into holes of different sizes in front of everyone's eyes.
Lu Sheng was even more shocked to notice that there were countless semi-transparent bugs hidden in the black smoke. These bugs had scarlet eyes and more than ten pairs of legs. The four transparent wings on their backs were flapping rapidly, making a soft buzzing sound. They were dying as the black smoke dissipated.
These bugs were extremely small, and normal people couldn't see them at all. Only Lu Sheng's extremely sensitive senses could detect them.
"Everyone who came into contact with that person must be quarantined," Chen Jingzhi explained. "Because that person's seniority is extremely high, you're like my junior brother now. You're temporarily the true disciple of the Autumn Moon County branch. Also … "The kind-hearted sect master couldn't help but remind him. "Be careful …"
"I understand." Lu Sheng understood when he saw the bugs. This Master Qian Du probably didn't like to kill people. She just couldn't control the threat on her body.
Next, more people came in with special equipment in their hands. They wore white isolation suits that covered their entire bodies. They were holding intricate round discs that looked like compasses. They kept shooting blue and green rune rays at Lu Sheng.
The rays of light surrounded by runes landed on Lu Sheng's body. They immediately formed seals that represented purification and isolation.
Chen Jingzhi and the other sect master busied themselves for a long time before they finally found out what was wrong with Lu Sheng's body.
The conclusion was — there was no danger.
Compared to the disciple of the lord whom he had just taught, Lu Sheng had far too few venomous bugs with him. A slight seal would solve the problem.
Both Chen Jing and Chen Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. After all, they were only ordinary Earthly Prime cultivators. Even though they were at the peak of the Earthly Prime stage, they were still scared witless when facing that person. They were afraid that even the slightest mishap would put them in danger.
This wasn't the first time something like this happened. The second disciple who was taught by that person left the Secret Realm one time. He didn't seal the bugs properly, and three days after he left, more than three thousand people died from the infection. That sect's branch was completely wiped out.
This was the scariest part. Apart from Divine Weapon Masters, no one could be immune to this kind of infection. Even Earth Prime fighters were no exception.
Lu Sheng understood their cautiousness, and completely cooperated with their quarantine and inspection.
After working for half a day and repeatedly confirming that Lu Sheng was no longer in danger, Chen Jingzhi and the other sect masters heaved a sigh of relief and left.
Zhang Shilong and the others were also checked and purified from head to toe. They also heaved a huge sigh of relief.
When they walked out of the main hall and left the wooden building, their legs were weak. On the other hand, the culprit, Lu Sheng, still looked energetic and in good spirits.
"Want to go for a drink?" Zhang Shilong patted Lu Sheng's shoulder. This elder didn't dare to put on airs in front of Lu Sheng anymore. He was really scared out of his wits just now.
In that instant, when he remembered who Lu Sheng's teacher was, many, many thoughts flashed through his mind. He still had many regrets in this life that he had yet to fulfill, and many goals that he had yet to accomplish. But in the face of life and death, nothing was important anymore. The only thing that appeared in his mind was that exquisite face that had haunted his dreams.
Lu Sheng looked at the sky. It was evening, and the dim yellow sunlight was slowly turning bright red.
"It's getting dark. I've encountered many things today, so I should go back and rest." He had just received the true qi technique from Su Ningfei, and was planning to go back and try it out. He vaguely felt that this true qi technique seemed to be different in some way.
"That's good too. You've worked hard, dealing with that old … senior …" Zhang Shilong patted Lu Sheng's shoulder sympathetically. "If there's anything, you can find me at Jinhua Villa, or Madam Ziye at the Hundred Leaves Valley. After that, the sect will make arrangements for you. Just go back and rest. "
"I understand." Lu Sheng nodded.
Zhang Shilong left with a few people, including Song Du. This guy was taken away by the Song Family, and he didn't even dare to look at Lu Sheng when he left. He looked exhausted. When he was isolated and purified, he heard the sect master's explanation, and avoided Lu Sheng like a snake or a scorpion.
After they left, Lu Sheng looked left and right, and noticed that there were still people staring at him in the dark. He smiled speechlessly.
The teacher that he had accidentally met this time was truly frightening.
He looked back at the wooden building, then turned and walked along the sidewalk. Politely declining the carriage and guards sent by the sect, he insisted on going alone to relieve his boredom.
In the Autumn Moon County, the Thousand Sun Sect was only one of the forces. Although it was the largest and strongest, it was only a hair's breadth away from the other two sects.
The Thousand Sun Sect, the Youyin Sect, and the Spirit Bind Sect ruled half of the forces in the Great Yin, and the other half was controlled by the three great families.
This was the structure of the Great Yin. The Autumn Moon County was the territory of the three great sects, so outside of the government, the three great sects had the final say. Inside the government, it was the will of the three great families.
The Great Yin's court was controlled by the three great families.
In reality, they were the court and the sects.
Lu Sheng had caused quite a commotion just now. He had only taken a few steps when he felt numerous gazes directed at him from all directions, whether in the open or in the dark.
Luckily, Sect Master Chen didn't spread the news. Soon, the spies that were attracted by the commotion slowly disappeared. Most of them turned to other people to investigate.
Lu Sheng wandered around the city a few more times, and used his advantage of hiding his aura to easily get rid of all the people following him.
Then, he went to the medicine store to buy some necessary medicine, then went to the talisman shop to buy some simple talisman making books.
