Zhangsun Lan was sweating profusely as she controlled the smoke crocodile to keep the other demons busy. However, the smoke crocodile had been injured too many times and was getting weaker and weaker.
She was fighting at least five Bind level demons on her own. That was already an extraordinary feat.
Luckily, Lu Sheng had taken care of the problem on his side. The other demons lost their morale when they saw that their leader was dead and scattered.
She let out a sigh of relief and looked towards Sun Rongji's direction. Sun Rongji was in a terrible situation.
The Demon Clan that was fighting with him was a middle-aged man with a single horn. This person had a head of long purple hair, and the style of the pitch-black armor he wore was also different from the other Demon Clan s.
His fight with Sun Rongji looked like it took a lot of effort, but Zhangsun Lan felt like her grandfather sparring with her.
Sun Rongji looked like he had the upper hand, but it was like he was being toyed with and didn't make any real progress.
"This fellow …" Zhangsun Lan narrowed her eyes, but she suddenly saw that the demon was glancing at her with a smile.
Just one look was enough to make her hair stand on end. Goosebumps appeared all over her body.
"Alright. I was going to do it myself. I didn't think that you could really kill Venaji. "The demon suddenly took a step back and blocked Sun Rongji's Heavenly Halberd with one hand.
Lu Sheng slowly pulled out his sword from a demon's corpse and frowned at this person.
Sun Rongji's expression changed greatly. He took a few steps back and put away his Heavenly Halberd, not daring to move again. At this moment, he also understood that the other party was simply using their hands to get rid of the Demon Clan s in those teams.
"What do you mean?" Sun Rongji narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Xirion. I have to thank you for killing my weak elder brother. "The Devil bowed to Zhangsun Lan with a smile.
"Hurry up and leave. I already sent a blood signal. The people from the Holy Devil Team will be here soon. You won't be able to leave if you're late. "
Sun Rongji and Zhangsun Lan both froze. Only now did they realize that this guy was a spy among the demons. He was obviously in cahoots with the human world to get rid of outsiders. With someone like this acting as a spy for them, it seemed like this mission wasn't as difficult as they had imagined.
"As long as the three of you return to the teleportation point and wait for two hours, you will be able to return. I will take care of all other traces for you, "Shirion said politely.
"Let's go," Lu Sheng said. He was the strongest here, so it was normal for him to give orders.
The three of them stared at Shirion warily and quickly retreated into the distance.
"Split up! Don't let him know our teleportation point, "Lu Sheng whispered to the two of them. The two of them were stunned for a moment before they reacted. They quickly dispersed.
"Let's meet at the foot of the cavern mountain in an hour." Lu Sheng transmitted his voice again.
"Alright!"
"Be careful!"
The three of them quickly dispersed and disappeared into the dark forest in the blink of an eye.
Shirion didn't do anything. He just stood there and watched the three of them leave with a smile on his face.
"You really have a good plan." On the other side of the forest, a female demon with a horn on her forehead slowly walked out.
"I can't help it. That brother of mine is too stupid. I can't do it myself, or else I will be tainted with a blood sin. But just because I can't do it doesn't mean others can't," Shirion said with a smile.
"So you're working with the human world?" The female demon sneered. "Aren't you afraid that I will go back and tell on you?"
"My dear cousin Alyssa, I know you won't do that. After so many years, you know how many despicable and disgusting things my brother has done. If you really wanted to tell on me, you wouldn't have shown yourself. "Shirion smiled and waved his hand.
"Aren't you afraid of accidents?" Alyssa said coldly. "For example …"
"For example, me."
Suddenly, a calm male voice came from behind Shirion.
The two single-horned demons were stunned. They quickly turned to look in the direction of the voice.
A three-meter-tall giant demon wearing a horned helmet slowly walked out of the forest with heavy steps.
"Shirion, Alyssa. You two really disappoint me … "the demon said slowly in a low voice.
The expressions of the two single-horned demons changed.
"Gene …"
"In this world, there is no plan that is absolutely safe." A puff of black smoke came out of Gene's nostrils. "Just like now … don't you think so? That guy over there. " His fist-sized eyes weren't staring at Shirion and Alyssa. Instead, they were looking into the depths of the forest beside them.
In his line of sight, a tall and strong human man slowly walked out of his hiding place with a sword in his hand. It was Lu Sheng, who had clearly distanced himself from them earlier.
"How did you find me?" Lu Sheng looked at Gene with a hint of interest. "I thought I hid well."
"Your Divine Weapon is very anxious," Gene said in a low voice. "It's afraid."
"…" Lu Sheng looked down at the Wei River Sword.
"I'm only three thousand years old this year, I haven't lived enough … I think we should go back to the teleportation point and wait …" the Wei River Sword said in a low voice.
Lu Sheng was speechless. He had only come back to kill a few demons to sacrifice to the Wei River Sword. At the same time, his Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way needed pure Devil Essence to level up. When he smelled the aura of pure Devil Essence, he couldn't help but turn around and wait.
He thought he hid well, but he didn't expect that Gene had found a flaw in the Wei River Sword.
"Human, why did you come back? This is the Devil World, not the human world where you can do whatever you want, "Gene said coldly.
"Such a pure aura of Devil Essence …" Lu Sheng closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, intoxicated. "The air around me seems to be filled with a sweet fragrance … it's all the purity coming from your body …"
Gene's expression darkened even more.
"A human Devil Cultivator? You want to die!! "
Shirion and Eliza looked at Lu Sheng with strange expressions, then looked at the huge and ugly Gene with strange expressions on their faces.
If that sentence was used to describe a beauty, it wouldn't be a problem. But to describe Gene, it felt strange …
"Forget it, I'll just treat it as an appetizer." Lu Sheng suddenly lowered his head and said to himself.
"What do you mean!!?" Before Zeon could finish his sentence, his pupils abruptly widened. Reflected in his pupils was a large and sinister mouth that was growing larger and larger, biting towards him from all directions.
"Splat!"
The entire forest suddenly darkened, then slowly brightened again.
Zeon, Shirion, and Alisa were nowhere to be seen. Even five or six of the black trees where they had been were gone.
Only Lu Sheng was left, gently wiping the corner of his mouth with a silk handkerchief.
"Such pure Devil Essence. I haven't had such a good meal in a long time … "
"Buzz buzz buzz …"
The Wei River Sword at his waist couldn't help but tremble.
"What's wrong?" Lu Sheng put his hand on the sword's body.
"No … nothing, I just can't help but … want to shake …" The Wei River Sword's voice was trembling.
"Time to go back. The Devil World … is a nice place. " Lu Sheng was very satisfied with the rewards of this trip. Gene's Devil Essence was extremely pure. Although he was only at the upper three tiers of Earth Prime, there was pure Ancient Devil Essence hidden deep within his bloodline. This Devil Essence was different from what he had tasted before, and was quite beneficial to his Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way.
…
Outer layer of the Black Seal Temple.
"Hiss …"
Zhangsun Lan, Sun Rongji, and Lu Sheng walked out of the black ball of light one after another. The leaders of the three sects sighed in relief.
"As long as nothing happened." Master Yuan Zheng sighed in relief. He looked at his granddaughter and Lu Sheng with a gentle expression.
"Rongji, that was just a test. Once you pass it, you can participate in the real battle of the main sect. Unlike before, the Devil Army has broken through the Gorge of Two Worlds and entered the Great Yin. All three sects have been mobilized as reinforcements. So you have to participate as well. As the elite disciples of the three sects, you have to be role models for the other disciples, "Cave Master Jiuwei explained calmly.
"After breaking through the Gorge of Two Worlds, the Devil Army has spread out to invade our land. One of them is already threatening us, only 900 miles away from our Moling Prefecture. So I hope you can head there tonight to hunt down the Devil Army and prevent them from sacrificing their flesh and slaughtering lives." Cave Master Jiuwei seemed to be the commander of the Moling Prefecture's army. He gave the order directly to the three of them.
A woman in a purple dress on the side also spoke up. "The purpose of this battle is to see who can kill the most Devil Army. It will be decided based on merit. Although the Youyin Sect can't participate in the battle, we will still send troops to help. "
"Madam Rongji is too polite." Master Yuan Zheng nodded slightly at the woman. "The Thousand Sun Sect will send 20 inner sect disciples and 50 outer sect disciples to the Youyin Sect. Lan 'er will also participate. Please take care of her, Madam."
"Of course."
"Lu Sheng." Master Yuan Zheng looked at Lu Sheng again. "You're quite strong. Go to the Gourd Mountain and kill the Devils there. Remember, the Devil Army there is strong. If you can't beat them, send a signal and try to buy as much time as possible until your Senior Apprentice Brothers, Sisters, or Elders come to help."
"Understood." Lu Sheng nodded.
"Also, you leave tomorrow. There's a banquet tonight hosted by Prince Qiong Huan of the Imperial Court. You're also on the invitation list."
"I will be there." Lu Sheng was in a good mood. He'd hunted a bit in the Devil World and felt his Ultimate Eight-Headed Devil Way loosening up a bit.
Only his soul had broken through to the Divine Lord level, but his physical body was still stuck at the same level. If he could swallow another complete Ancient Devil, perhaps his physical body could break through to a new level. He wondered when he would be able to seize the opportunity to eat again.
But he couldn't do it too much, in case the higher-ups noticed him.
In fact, this battle had already been changed by the changes in the Devil Realm. They were no longer the protagonists.
After Master Yuan Zheng made arrangements for the two of them, many temple masters came up to him to report the situation. The three sects were using the Black Seal Temple as a temporary place to handle military affairs.
Master Yuan Zheng and Cave Master Jiuwei chatted for a bit more before leaving with the temple masters.
Zhangsun Lan left with them as well. Before she left, she gave Lu Sheng a look and transmitted a message to him, "See you tonight."
Sun Rongji threw a small jade pendant to Lu Sheng. It was used for communication between the two of them. It was engraved with a short-distance transmission formation.
After this battle, the three of them had already formed a small team.
This was what Cave Master Jiuwei wanted to see. The dead-faced man smiled at Lu Sheng and Zhangsun Lan, then left with the people from the Spirit Bind Sect.
As for Lu Sheng eliminating the Spirit Bind Sect disciples, it had nothing to do with him. It was the juniors of the other elders and temple masters who got ripped off.
