"You!! Why!! " The man was both shocked and angry. He quickly retreated, and when he looked around, he saw that everyone, including his sister, was frozen in place.
He moved again, and a gust of cold wind blew past. More than ten people fell to the ground and quickly disappeared.
"Why are you doing this!?" The man retreated again and again. He glanced at the Thousand Sun Sect symbol on Lu Sheng's chest with disbelief.
"I can't help it. I can't mess with your Elder Yuan Chengdao, so I can only take it out on you." Lu Sheng smiled brightly. "He wants to play with me slowly, so I don't dare to disobey. Of course I have to play slowly …"
"Puchi."
His blade suddenly drew a strange arc and easily pierced the man's neck. Large amounts of True Qi flowed into the man's body, destroying everything inside.
"You … I …" The man couldn't understand how a Thousand Sun Sect disciple could be so strong that he couldn't even fight back. They didn't even realize what was happening before they were eliminated by Lu Sheng with one strike.
Lu Sheng's speed was too fast. After he raised the Star Shifting Knife Mantra to the terrifying level of 189 in a single breath, the special effect of speed was also increased to level 189.
Even a normal person's speed would reach an insane level after being increased to level 189. Not to mention someone with a terrifying body like Lu Sheng.
He did his best to suppress his speed, but the four and five-vein Spirit Bind Sect disciples were all wiped out before they could react.
He pulled out his blade and looked at the handsome man on the ground, still smiling.
…
Outside the Black Seal Temple.
"Pa!!"
The bronze ball in Yuan Chengdao's hand accidentally fell to the ground, and the patterns on it were scratched.
He didn't move at all, and didn't even look at the bronze ball he loved to play with. Instead, his face was green as he stared at the image above his head.
Inside, Lu Sheng had a mocking smile on his face as six Spirit Bind Sect disciples fell to his blade for the third time.
"If the first time was a coincidence, then the second and third are targeted."
"The Elder Yuan he speaks of? Could it be our Spirit Bind Sect's Elder Yuan Chengdao? "
"Could it be that there are people with the same name? He didn't know how he had provoked this killer. I counted. From the beginning to the end, we saw that he had lost close to thirty people. There are less than a hundred people in the entire sect … "
Yuan Chengdao listened to the discussions around him. How could he not know that they were purposely saying this for him to hear? He stared at Lu Sheng on the screen. Originally, he had planned to leave him alive and play with him slowly, but now, he couldn't wait to kill Lu Sheng immediately!
"Elder Yuan, is Lu Sheng from the Thousand Sun Sect speaking the truth?" An elder whose disciple had been eliminated approached, and asked in a low voice with an unpleasant expression.
He wasn't the only one. The other Hall Masters and elders who had their juniors and disciples eliminated also turned their gazes over with hostile gazes.
Yuan Chengdao's expression gradually darkened. He clenched and unclenched his fists, clenched and unclenched again and again. "I didn't expect him to grow so fast …" For the first time, he realized that his voice was so dry.
Hua!
Suddenly, everyone from the three sects cried out in alarm.
It was as if they had seen something shocking.
Yuan Chengdao hurriedly looked up, but the screen flashed away again. This time, it was a pitch-black muddy ground.
There were three spires on the ground, and there were at least ten levels of them. The golden pagoda's surface was stained with some black dirt, but it couldn't hide its golden appearance at all.
But what shocked the people from the three sects wasn't these inanimate objects, but the three people facing off in the center of the pagoda. They were shocked that the three of them had faced off so quickly.
The three people in the screen were two men and one woman, wearing the emblem of the Spirit Bind Sect, the Youyin Sect, and the Thousand Sun Sect respectively.
These three people were the three strongest inner disciples of the Moling Sect.
Sun Rongji from the Spirit Bind Sect, Li Mai from the Youyin Sect, and Zhangsun Lan from the Thousand Sun Sect.
Sun Rongji's aura was heavy. He wore tight brown leather armor and carried a dark blue halberd on his back. He had thick eyebrows and a square face. His body was tanned and muscular, giving off the impression that he wasn't easy to get along with. Right now, he was staring at the gloomy man standing across from him. He didn't pay much attention to the woman on the other side.
"Li Mai, give me first place this time, and I'll help you solve that problem in exchange. How about it?" Sun Rongji's expression was calm, and his tone was full of confidence.
The gloomy man was the strongest inner sect disciple of the Youyin Sect, Li Mai. This person was dressed in black tights, with a silver-blue belt around his waist and a white waist tag on the side. His long hair was tied into a ponytail, and his legs were also covered with black leggings. There was a pure white dagger on his back, which was a stark contrast to his black attire.
"No need. There are three of us here, and I'm afraid none of us will let go of the golden key. If you want it, show us what you've got. " Li Mai's tone was cold. Getting first place in the Moling Sect this time was only secondary to being able to interact with disciples from other districts. What he cared more about was the 100,000 pieces of Devil Gold. He wasn't like the Thousand Sun Sect. The disciples of the Youyin Sect were poor to begin with, and no one knew what they could do with 100,000 pieces of Devil Gold.
However, Li Mai and Sun Rongji were about the same. He was only slightly stronger. If it was a one-on-one fight, he would have a chance of winning after 200 moves. But now there was Zhangsun Lan, which could affect the outcome of the battle.
Zhangsun Lan bit her lower lip and gripped her Water Splitters tightly. She didn't have much of a chance of winning this time, but she wouldn't give up.
"Lan 'er, stop messing around. You should know what this golden key means to me and Brother Li." Sun Rongji looked at Zhangsun Lan. She was the weakest among the three. If she could be eliminated first, then he and Li Mai would be able to decide the winner without being affected.
Zhangsun Lan didn't make a sound and stood in place.
She knew she was the weakest among the three sects, but that didn't mean she had no chance of getting the golden key.
"Brother Sun, do you think you've got me for sure?" Li Mai was never a kind person, and a cold expression appeared on his face.
"Brother Li seems very confident." Sun Rongji smiled. "If that's the case, why don't we eliminate Lan 'er first, and then we can have a fair one-on-one fight to decide who gets the golden key."
Li Mai glanced at Zhangsun Lan coldly. This woman was beautiful and had a great figure, but neither he nor Sun Rongji were people who would be blinded by beauty.
"Sure."
Zhangsun Lan's heart trembled when she heard this.
"How can I be worthy of Brother Sun and Brother Li working together?" She took a small step back, and her expression became even more cautious.
Sun Rongji smiled. He didn't say anything, nor did he make a move. He looked at Li Mai, and the latter looked back at him. Obviously, he didn't plan on fighting either.
Both of them were just talking, but if they really wanted to fight, neither of them wanted to be the first. They were afraid that they would reveal an opening during the fight, and the opponent would take advantage of it.
The situation was at a stalemate.
No matter what, neither of them actually thought much of the Thousand Sun Sect. In their eyes, the strongest Zhangsun Lan was just a pretty face that could be taken care of in a dozen moves. Their true opponents had always been each other in their eyes.
Zhangsun Lan knew this as well, but she just persisted. If the Thousand Sun Sect didn't have her, then they wouldn't even have the last bit of cover left. Her grandfather, Master Yuan Zheng, would lose all face. So no matter what others thought of her, she tried her best to stand beside the other two. Even though she knew they looked down on her, it was her responsibility.
Just like the two in front of her, they didn't even look at her. Their words and attitude made her a foil.
"Li Mai, if only you were as sensible as the other Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, and knew how to protect yourself." Sun Rongji sighed.
"Protect myself? You mean like those trash who only know how to throw money around? "Li Mai laughed coldly.
"You!!" Zhangsun Lan suddenly pulled out her Water Splitter, her eyes cold.
"What? Does Qian Yang want a share? "Li Mai stared at Zhangsun Lan, his eyes flashing with a violent killing intent.
Zhangsun Lan's breathing slowed. She clenched her teeth, and didn't dare to make another sound.
Li Mai laughed coldly. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly retreated.
Not just him, but Sun Rongji did the same. He retreated even faster than Li Mai.
"Boom!!!"
With a huge sound, a boulder seven or eight meters in diameter smashed through the wall on the right, flew past the three of them, and landed on the temple gate.
"Bam!!"
The boulder shattered, and half of the gate collapsed with a crash. Half of the temple also collapsed.
Along the way, a tall, strong, and slender figure slowly walked into the courtyard with a saber in his hand.
"Oh … I think I used too much strength …"
As soon as the silhouette got closer, it faintly exuded a strong sense of oppression. Especially the saber he was holding. The saber's edge was constantly being surrounded by a hot air current. Even the air around it was changing like water.
"Who are you …" Sun Rongji looked at the place where the boulder landed. The smile on his face disappeared, and he looked at the newcomer calmly.
"Fifty thousand Devil Gold per person. One cent less, and you won't be able to leave." Lu Sheng grinned. "Of course, you can try to run, but I promise, you'll die faster that way …"
Sun Rongji wanted to smile, but he found that he couldn't smile no matter what.
Li Mai's coldness disappeared as well. He stared at the man seriously. The higher one's cultivation, the more they could feel the terror and power of the man in front of them.
Zhangsun Lan was confused. She felt like she was hallucinating. She couldn't even see the sect emblem on the man's chest.
She looked at it several times until she was sure she wasn't hallucinating. Then she took a deep breath.
"Qian Yang … You're also Qian Yang's …?" She finally couldn't help but ask.
"Don't think I'll give you a discount just because you're close." The man laughed coldly. "Pay up, or die!"
Even Sun Rongji's face twitched when he heard this. He glanced at the Thousand Sun Sect emblem on the man's chest, and looked at Zhangsun Lan strangely.
"You're from the same sect, right?"
Li Mai also had a strange expression. He finally understood what it meant to "disregard your own family for money" …
