Xu Feila and Elder Stone were the ancient Devil Kings that the seniors of the Prime Devil Sect had sealed here.
Devil Kings, a title that he had to look up to, were now just two useful pawns in Lu Sheng's eyes.
"Lu Sheng, you've been here for a long time. You must have made some plans. I don't have the time or energy to care, so I'll leave everything to you." Liu Shanzi had already handed over the position of sect master to Lu Sheng, so his words were natural.
"Also … we were ambushed several times on the way. Even the Yin Devils couldn't protect us. We had to rely on Elder Stone and King of Shadows to protect us." He was pleading for the two Devil Kings.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the two Devil Kings again. After dealing with the Devil Army for so long, he had also carefully researched all the information he could get his hands on in the Devil World. He had a deep understanding of the leaders of the Devil Kings.
The Devil Kings didn't just represent themselves, but the entire race behind them. A race that could give birth to a Devil King was definitely not a small race. In other words, the races behind King of Shadows and Elder Stone might still exist. It was just that it had been too long, and other Devils might have taken advantage of them.
Since these two broke free and didn't leave immediately, and even helped the Prime Devil Sect's team, they must have some ulterior motives.
"Ambush? Teacher, do you know who the source of the ambush was? "Lu Sheng changed the topic.
Yin Devils were protecting them, but they still had the guts to ambush them, and even forced them to the point where they couldn't defend themselves. This strength was a bit ridiculous.
After all, the nine Yin Devils all had their strengths, and were extremely powerful. When he left, the Yin Devils already had the strength of a Weapon Master. Now that he was breaking through to Devil Master, the Yin Devils were separated from his spirit, which was closely related to him. His breakthrough would definitely affect them.
Even if they were very far away, there would still be varying degrees of improvement in strength.
With such a luxurious lineup protecting the team, there were still people ambushing them …
"I don't know either. Those people all held jade green longswords. Their faces were blurry, and most of them wore masks. Their auras were obscure, but their strength and speed were extremely strong. I couldn't tell which system they belonged to." Liu Shanzi shook his head.
"We'll talk about this later." Lu Sheng smiled, and began to ask his teacher about some important matters along the way, as well as the specific arrangements once they reached the Great Yin.
Then, he chatted with Eldest Senior Apprentice Sister He Xiangzi for a while and dealt with the Prime Devil Sect and the other sect disciples. He instructed them to make arrangements and proposed many specific plans to calm them down. Finally, he came before the Crimson Whale Sect people.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!" Ning San took the lead to kneel down and greet Lu Sheng.
Umbrella girl actually followed suit and bent her knees slightly. Judging from her delicate features and pitiful demeanor, she was clearly still in umbrella girl Yingying mode.
Sensing Lu Sheng's gaze, the umbrella girl replied in a low voice, "Currently … Sister spends most of her time … cultivating diligently. Although her strength far surpasses Yingying's … but … but …" She stammered slowly, but her meaning was clear.
The gist of it was that although Hongfang Bai had trained hard and her strength far surpassed the current Yingying, she knew that she was still a long way from Lu Sheng. That was why she usually sent Yingying out, lest she felt pressured due to her weak strength.
Lu Sheng didn't think much of it. Hongfang Bai's strength and potential were both strong, but at his level, potential no longer mattered.
The so-called top-notch prodigies were those who could steadily reach the upper three grades of the Snake realm. These were the strongest prodigies in the Great Yin. As for the Weapon Master level and beyond, it didn't depend on talent, but luck.
"What's the situation with Crimson Sun Sect?" he asked casually.
"A total of 132 people came from the sect. They were ambushed halfway and 36 of them died. The rest follow Sect Master's lead," Ning San replied in a low voice.
"Three of them have broken through to Divine Prime," Xu Chui added in a low voice.
Lu Sheng nodded in understanding. In his eyes, Divine Prime was merely a slightly larger ant. Back then, he had set up Yin Crane Web over a large area to absorb inner force. But now, that was no longer necessary.
The amount of Mental Energy recovered from eating a Divine Weapon was equivalent to absorbing an untold amount of inner Qi.
"Thanks to Sect Master's genius for creating Yin Crane Web, our inner Qi has almost no bottlenecks. As long as we cultivate diligently, we'll definitely be able to move forward," Xu Chui said in a low voice.
"You guys have to be careful as well. Inner Qi doesn't strengthen the body much. You guys have to supplement it with hard body techniques. Otherwise, your body will become a bottleneck, and your cultivation will be stuck. "Lu Sheng reminded them casually.
Inner Qi was different from Devil Essence in that it didn't strengthen the body at all. Back then, he had to stack a bunch of hard body techniques and hard body techniques to barely reach the requirement for his Inner Qi to liquify. But when he arrived at the Prime Devil Sect, he was shocked by the various Devil Arts in the sect.
Devil Arts that strengthened the body were much more advanced than martial arts and inner force techniques.
"We'll keep that in mind." Ning San, Xu Chui, and the others hurriedly cupped their fists and bowed.
Lu Sheng arranged for Crimson Sun Sect to build a headquarters on an empty rocky ground nearby. With his face, the Autumn Moon County would definitely share some of the profits no matter how poor it was. Although it couldn't compare to the Northern Lands, the Great Yin still had resources from the outside world, and its overall income couldn't be underestimated. Some of the rare and high-end items were even more valuable than they were in the Northern Lands.
After making arrangements for the Prime Devil Sect and Crimson Sun Sect, Lu Sheng immediately received a visit from the Turquoise Conch Agency.
The head of the Turquoise Conch Agency from Autumn Moon County was here to visit. He was probably going to ask about the battle in the suburbs. The Turquoise Conch Agency was a very important position. Although it was only a county head, it definitely had a powerful background.
Since the other party was very polite, Lu Sheng decided to meet the head of this intelligence organization. He had some things he wanted to ask about.
…
Thousand Sun Palace, Autumn Moon County.
Lu Sheng sat in the center of the main hall, watching two masked women in purple robes brought in by a Thousand Sun Sect disciple.
Both women had graceful figures, and one could tell that they weren't ordinary from their every movement. They looked like ordinary young ladies from big families. No one would've thought that these two were high-ranking officials in charge of the Turquoise Conch Agency.
The woman in the lead had a long white badge on her waist, and two daggers with golden fish skin on her thighs. She looked sharp and experienced.
"Greetings, Sect Master Lu. I'm Xiao Qing. Sect Master, you've made a fool out of us …" The middle-aged woman walking in front didn't seem afraid of Lu Sheng's status as the Thousand Sun Sect's honorary sect master at all, and her tone was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Why does Department Head Xiao say that? We, the Thousand Sun Sect, have always been law-abiding citizens. "Lu Sheng grinned.
"Law-abiding? That's not necessarily true. Which one of the three sects is law-abiding? "This Xiao Qing was obviously a pseudonym, and seemed to be dissatisfied with the three sects. "Sect Master Lu, you don't have to play dumb. I'm here to ask about the spy from the Devil World in the suburbs."
"Ask away, Department Head." Lu Sheng smiled. He chose to meet the people from the Turquoise Conch Agency at the Thousand Sun Sect because he wanted to use the name of the three sects to offset the power of the Great Yin's court.
Xiao Qing's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction. Lu Sheng's attitude was disrespectful, and he didn't treat her with the respect of an official of the court.
But when she thought about how this was the honorary sect master of the Thousand Sun Sect's prefecture capital, and how powerful his connections were, she could only swallow her anger.
"We received news that the Black Society and the Three Sacred Gates appeared nearby again, so we sent people to investigate, but they were rejected by your sect's Blood Sun. We'll investigate all traces. Does Sect Master Lu know about this? "
Lu Sheng suddenly understood. So this was the root of the problem.
At the end of the day, while the three sects were powerful, they were still sects of the pugilistic world in name. They were completely different sides of the court. Even with Weapon Grandmasters, the Great Yin's Imperial Court was actually in a stronger position. However, while they were powerful, they were far from being able to crush the three independent sects.
So in the eyes of the experts of the court, the three sects that often didn't listen to orders were the biggest trouble in the pugilistic world.
But Lu Sheng found it a bit funny. A Department Head of the Turquoise Conch Agency dared to speak so forcefully in front of him, the honorary sect master of one of the three sects of the prefecture capital.
"The Blood Sun is an emergency mobilization force of the main branch of the Thousand Sun Sect. Other than the main branch above, even the sect master of the prefecture capital has no right to interfere. Department Head, you've come to the wrong person. "He shook his head with a smile.
"You're the most powerful person in the Thousand Sun Sect now. If you don't say anything, don't blame me for not showing you any mercy." Xiao Qing had been extremely annoyed lately. The Three Sacred Gates and the Black Society kept making their moves. For some reason, they kept making all sorts of moves around the Autumn Moon County.
She was worn out mentally and physically. Now that she had finally found some clues, she was isolated by the people of the Thousand Sun Sect's Blood Sun. This was simply intolerable.
She came looking for Lu Sheng on the spot with the intention of pressuring Xue Ri and pressuring him.
From her point of view, Lu Sheng's background was already clear. He was a sect master of a small sect from the Great Song. He joined the Thousand Sun Sect with his skills, but his foundation was still in the people who came to the Autumn Moon County later.
These people would settle down in the Autumn Moon County in the future. Giving her some convenience now was a favor. If anything happened in the future, she would be in charge of the Autumn Moon County, and it was only right for her to take care of them.
Unfortunately, she completely misunderstood Lu Sheng's plan.
"I really can't interfere in this matter. The Blood Sun's power is directly under the main branch. It's not something the prefectural capital or the prefecture capital can interfere with. Speaking of which, I also want to ask … how did your department deal with the murder that happened in the Lu Family? Did you catch anyone from the Black Society or the Three Sacred Gates? "
Xiao Qing's expression froze, then turned cold and awkward. "What does this have to do with Sect Master Lu?"
"I suspect that there might be a Devil World transportation point hidden near the Autumn Moon County. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so coincidental that the Three Sacred Gates, the Black Society, and the Devil World spies could easily appear here, "Lu Sheng said in a low voice.
"That's impossible!" Xiao Qing said coldly, waving his hand. If she admitted that there was a fixed Devil World transportation point, it would be a serious dereliction of her duty as the head of the Turquoise Conch Agency. There was even a murder case like that before. If she really reported it, she would be executed!
"Department Master Xiao is decisive. This matter ends here. Also, during our migration, our sect and family were ambushed several times. The ambushers' appearance was striking, and they were extremely fast and strong. Their moves … "Lu Sheng began to describe the appearance and characteristics of the group of people who had ambushed the caravan to Chief Xiao.
