Thud, thud, thud …
With the crisp sound of footsteps, a woman wearing a black veil and surrounded by countless tree roots slowly walked out of the shadows.
Most of her face was covered by the veil, and only her eyes were exposed. Her eyes were like pitch-black holes with nothing in them. There were no pupils, no eyeballs, just pure black.
"Teacher." Lu Sheng bowed slightly to the woman to show respect. He respected the strong, both in terms of power and intelligence.
Su Ningfei nodded, and her gaze landed calmly on the weak girl in the crowd.
"Are you done playing?"
The girl's body trembled, and large drops of tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Mother … I …"
Su Ningfei didn't waste words, and slowly raised her hand. "These people made you stay outside for so long that you don't even care about me, your mother. Damn it!"
A dark golden moon slowly appeared on her forehead.
"No!!" The girl suddenly rushed out and spread her arms in front of the crowd. "No!! Mother, it has nothing to do with them! "
"Yuanyuan …" Qiong Shang lowered his head in shame. He also wanted to rush out, but Li Shunxi grabbed his shoulder tightly.
"Don't go. Anything you do now will only anger Yuanyuan's mother." Li Shunxi could see clearly that this black veiled woman was definitely not a good person to be able to become the teacher of a monster like Lu Sheng. Plus, from what she just said, it was obvious that she was someone who would kill people like mowing grass.
"Very good … Yuanyuan … you've learned to talk back to me … for these worthless trash …" Su Ningfei's chest heaved up and down, as if she was very emotional. "Do you think that bitch's sister has escaped and can see hope, so you want to go find your father!!? Speak! Is that right!! "
"No … no …" The girl shook her head, desperately shaking her head.
"You don't want me anymore? Go find your father's little bitch! I know you, I know you!! That bitch … her daughter already made her move, she will never let me go, never! Because I killed her, killed my husband. Speak! You want to go find her! "
"I'm not … mother …" the girl cried.
"You are!!"
Bang!
Su Ningfei lost control of her emotions and slapped everyone behind the girl.
"Little bitch, go to hell!"
The huge invisible wave quickly turned into countless water-like roots, covering the sky and covering the earth, passing by the girl and flying towards the crowd.
What was even stranger was that everyone, including Li Shunxi, could only watch helplessly as the thorny tree root pierced towards their foreheads, unable to put up any resistance at all. It was as if his body was being restrained by some invisible force.
Bang!!
Suddenly, a large hand grabbed Su Ningfei's wrist from the side. All the tree roots also disappeared, as if they had never been there.
"Teacher, calm down." Lu Sheng had unknowingly appeared next to Su Ningfei. If he hadn't acted, Li Shunxi and the others would've all died except for the girl.
"You're also on that little bitch's side?!" Su Ningfei's expression twisted as the tree roots all over her body spread in all directions, scaring Sage Tianhe into retreating a few hundred meters away.
However, Prince Wu Yuan and the feminine man couldn't escape. They were easily entangled by the tree roots and were quickly wrapped up in layers. Even their faces couldn't be seen.
"Calm down, Teacher." Lu Sheng's right hand was like an iron clamp, firmly holding onto Su Ningfei's wrist. She couldn't break free.
"That's your daughter in front of you, not anyone else. You killed her friend just like that, do you want her to hate you for the rest of her life?" Lu Sheng could roughly guess the girl's identity from her previous words.
It seemed that Su Ningfei was about to lose control. Although it was only a clone, he didn't want to fight an old monster who'd lived for who knew how long.
He had only just become a Divine Lord and obtained a Divine Weapon. Technically, it was only a Golden Leaf. It was the lowest level among Divine Lords. And it was a Golden Leaf that hadn't fully mastered the Divine Weapon.
His situation was a bit strange. Other Divine Lords couldn't unleash their full power without a Divine Weapon, so they all climbed from the bottom to the Divine Lord level after obtaining a Divine Weapon.
He first became a Divine Lord, then went to find a Divine Weapon.
However, this didn't mean he was arrogant enough to think he could fight against Su Ningfei.
After saying this, Su Ningfei took a deep breath and only calmed down after a moment of silence.
"Let me go." She glanced at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng slowly let go and took a few steps back.
"Teacher, give me some face and leave these two alive," he said calmly.
Su Ningfei narrowed her eyes and stared at Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng stared back at her as well. Neither of them spoke for a while. However, the air around Lu Sheng began to heat up, while the ground around Su Ningfei was covered in a thin layer of frost.
One cold, one hot. Two completely different powers. Although they hadn't been activated yet, they had already caused a natural chain reaction in the outside world.
After a long while, Su Ningfei snorted coldly. She grabbed her daughter and leaped into the air, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Judging from the ripples, she should have returned to the Secret Area.
Lu Sheng stood in place and sensed for a while. After confirming that she had truly left, he turned around and looked at Li Shunxi and Su Ningfei's dumbfounded expressions.
"What are you waiting for?" he urged.
Only then did the two snap out of their daze. They hurriedly turned around and ran.
Sage Tianhe slowly floated to the ground and cupped his fists at Lu Sheng.
"Junior Tianhe greets senior."
"Your bloodline has been condensed to its peak, and you can become a Divine Weapon Master at any time. Why haven't you …? "Lu Sheng looked at Sage Tianhe and asked in confusion.
"My family's Divine Armament was destroyed …" Daoist Master Tianhe said respectfully. "It's all thanks to the fragments of the Divine Armament I absorbed and implanted them into my body that I was able to reach this level. Due to the uniqueness of the Divine Armament contract, it's impossible for me to obtain a second Divine Armament … I've long since given up on that thought."
"Let's go. Find a place to settle them down. Make sure it's discreet," Lu Sheng said calmly. "Tianhe, I'll leave it to you. By the way, remember to keep what happened today a secret. "
"Don't worry, senior. I'll keep it a secret …" Tianhe subconsciously glanced at Prince Wu Yuan's direction. Not even his clothes were left.
Su Ningfei's brother was the only Weapon Master in the Thousand Sun Sect. Her incident had caused quite a commotion, and Lu Sheng easily found out about it. He also understood the complicated emotional entanglement.
Sage Tianhe brought him and the two little ones away from the plaza using his movement technique. They quickly arrived at a remote street in the innermost part of the Inner Yard.
The street was already cordoned off. Thousand Sun Sect's special blockades were hung on both sides of the street, completely surrounding the entire street.
Tianhe, on the other hand, was very familiar with this, as if he was used to it.
He walked into a small courtyard and waved his hand in front of a rockery in the courtyard to move it away, revealing a silver door underneath. Opening the door, the three of them entered an underground stone hall.
There were many purple-red oval gems embedded in the walls of the stone hall, emitting a faint purple glow.
"You two can stay here for now," Tianhe said carefully. Tianhe said carefully. "This is my most secretive place in the Thousand Sun Sect. It used to be used for a deceased senior to live in seclusion. Now that it's empty and unoccupied, I've almost forgotten about it after a long time. It was only by chance that I remembered where this secret room was."
"Sure." Lu Sheng nodded, then looked at Li Shunxi and his brother.
"Brother Sheng, you won't be dragged into this, right?" Li Shunxi said seriously. "Qiong Shang was framed because he has a legendary Divine Weapon and Devil Blade that can surpass the Divine Intellect level. For this Divine Weapon, he fell from being a prince of the Great Yin to this state. "
"It's okay." Lu Sheng shook his head with a smile. "With my master here, all the chaos outside can be stopped. But you can't stay here for long. A Divine Weapon surpassing the Divine Intellect level … might attract the attention of Divine Masters. "
"We'll leave after we hide for a while!" Qiong Shang said quickly. "Senior, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid …"
He paused.
"But don't worry. Soon, someone will come to pick me up. We won't disturb you for long. "
Li Shunxi sighed, and transmitted his voice to Lu Sheng, "His royal brother has already brought people here to look for him. This Divine Weapon was originally entrusted to him by his royal brother for safekeeping and concealment. However, he didn't expect that … someone would expose it and cause such a huge change."
He paused, then said, "Since you're here, Brother Sheng, let me remind you that the Great Yin isn't a peaceful place. The Devil World has already made its move. There are too few resources for survival, and they urgently need to use up enough Devils. It's the same here in the Human World. Divine Weapons and Devil Blades, Noble Families, and the Imperial Court all require a lot of resources. Even though they're expanding, they can't keep up with the speed of consumption. That's why the Human World needs a great war too. Using up too much of the power of the middle and upper levels … This reshuffling war between the two worlds is almost inevitable. "
It was the first time Lu Sheng had heard of this. To fight for survival resources. To use up too much power, they had to start a war.
"I get it. Rest well. I'll take care of some business first, and we'll talk later. " He glanced at Sage Tianhe. This man was willing to help Qiong Shang, so he must be a trustworthy person.
"Let's go and deal with the three sects of the Moling Prefecture." Lu Sheng knew that the power he revealed this time was beyond the Earth Prime level, and not just any Earth Prime.
That was why he had to give the Thousand Sun Sect an explanation. He had to give Master Yuan Zheng an explanation. The True Essence Tower couldn't be used as an excuse. The best True Essence Tower in the Moling Prefecture was in the inner courtyard of the Thousand Sun Sect, and that True Essence Tower could only be used for one day as eight days. Breaking through to the Earth Prime level in eight days? It was simply impossible.
"Senior … I don't need to go … It's not convenient for me to stay in the Thousand Sun Sect for now, and I even caused trouble for myself …" Sage Tianhe was helpless.
"That's fine." Lu Sheng didn't make things difficult for him. He didn't know what kind of status Sage Tianhe had in the Thousand Sun Sect. But it didn't matter. He had already secretly left a Divine Lord-level spiritual mark on this person.
It was a tiny, almost invisible triangular mark of a winged snake. Once this mark was left, it would be like a Divine Weapon radiating to other places. It was extremely hard to get rid of, and it could be considered insurance for Li Shunxi's safety.
Lu Sheng wouldn't be a good guy like Li Shunxi, who went around saving people. But he admired this kind of person and liked to be on good terms with him. Once this kind of person was indebted to him, he would definitely repay him when he needed his help in the future.
