'The only thing I didn't account for was that even though I used the right method to activate the Gate of Pain, not only did I screw my opponent over, I screwed myself over as well …' Lu Sheng looked at the gloomy building before him that resembled a school block. He raised his hand to look at the mirror shard in his palm. He did not choose to go in.
He had a feeling that if he went in, it would be difficult to leave the World of Pain safely …
The mirror shard in his palm was burning like a piece of paper. It burned itself and became smaller.
Lu Sheng had a feeling that when the mirror shard burned out, it would be time for him to leave.
Xiao Zizhu would never expect him to have a way to leave. Even Lu Sheng did not expect this. The broken Gate of Pain shard had this effect.
"Aren't you going in?" Suddenly, a raspy female voice came from behind him.
Lu Sheng came back to his senses. He felt the hair on his back stand on end, as if he was facing some extremely dangerous threat.
He slowly tried to calm himself down and turned around. At the same time, he felt the mirror shard in his palm burn even faster.
Standing behind him was an expressionless middle-aged short-haired woman in a gray commoner's clothing.
The woman's lifeless eyes stared at him blankly.
"We're already here. Aren't you going in?" she spoke again.
Even though he did not know what language she used, Lu Sheng understood what she said.
"Who are you?" he asked with a frown.
"I see the sin in you. It's so thick, condensed, and thick … "the middle-aged woman said in a low voice." Only pain can wash away your sin. Join us. You have the potential. "
"You? What are you? What is potential? "Lu Sheng quickly asked in a low voice.
"We … are sinners, but we pursue the essence. We pursue the truth of everything … You can call us the Black Society, "the middle-aged woman replied woodenly. The middle-aged woman replied woodenly. "Lu Sheng, we've seen everything about you. The Mother of Origin has always been watching you. Come, join us … "
She slowly reached out her hand and placed it in front of Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng looked at her hand. There was a clear puncture wound on her palm. Countless scars of different sizes densely covered the skin of her hand, extending all the way to her forearm.
"Black Alliance …" Lu Sheng's heart skipped a beat. "You still haven't answered me. What is potential? Why do I have potential?"
The middle-aged woman retracted her hand.
"We've seen the three times you've come into contact with us. There's no such thing as a cause without a cause, nor is there an effect without a cause. You were able to maintain your body without being corroded by the gray gas three times. This is called aptitude. "
Lu Sheng did not understand. He had indeed come into contact with the World of Pain three times, but he had not felt any threat from it.
The first time was a temptation to lure him in, but he didn't do it.
The second time was just a coincidence.
The third time, a hand reached out to grab him. It was a rotten arm with the word "Evil" tattooed on it. In the end, he tore it off.
"Then, what kind of person is considered a person with aptitude? And what do I get if I join you?" Lu Sheng asked again.
It seemed like the other party had come for him. The danger of the World of Pain was undeniable. He was powerful, but he still had to be careful.
"Someone who is dissatisfied with everything and wants to change everything," the woman answered.
This answer caused Lu Sheng's heart to skip a beat.
He suddenly remembered that when he was in the Great Song, he had the urge to change the world. Although it was an impulse born from the influence of external factors, the World of Pain and the Black Alliance had discovered his desire and consciousness at that time …
This made his heart sink.
"This world needs to be corrected. It needs to correct all the mistakes it has made. " The middle-aged woman murmured. Her low voice did not sound like she was talking to him, but more like she was talking to herself.
Lu Sheng did not ask what would happen if he did not join. His instincts told him that if he asked this question, it might lead to terrible consequences.
"Choose." The woman raised her head again and stared at him blankly.
Lu Sheng looked at the woman in front of him. Suddenly, a bone-chilling sense of danger rose in his heart. His throat moved slightly, and his mind spun quickly, considering all the possible countermeasures.
After a long while, he finally nodded slowly.
"Alright, I'll join."
The middle-aged woman instantly smiled.
Her smile was bright. Her face was plain and even a little blank, but under the influence of her smile, it suddenly became much brighter. It even gave Lu Sheng a faint sense of enchantment.
"Remember my name. I'm Shizi Xing."
The moment the voice entered Lu Sheng's ears, the mirror shard in his palm burned even faster. Almost in an instant, it completely disappeared.
His vision blurred. When Lu Sheng came back to his senses, he was already back on the battlefield above the Red River Valley.
Xiao Zizhu, who was in front of him, had also returned. But strangely, Xiao Zizhu's eyes were wide open, and his pupils were a little unfocused. There was still a trace of a satisfied and yearning smile on his lips. His entire body floated in the air, as if he wasn't fighting, but enjoying some strange scenery.
Seeing this, Lu Sheng slowly sighed in relief. He was about to speak.
Suddenly, Xiao Zizhu spoke first.
"This body isn't used to it, but don't worry. It'll be fine after a while. Lu Sheng, I'm going back now. Remember to come to the annual mass sacrifice. If you miss it, the consequences will be severe. "
He had a strange smile on his face. His movements were a little stiff as he turned around, and flew towards the Devil Army.
Lu Sheng watched him leave, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Because Xiao Zizhu's voice was exactly the same as that of Shizi Xing, that strange woman …
He suddenly felt that opening the Gate of Pain was a little too rash. Xiao Zizhu was definitely not the original Xiao Zizhu. It was very likely that he had been replaced by another soul.
"A Demon Master powerhouse was actually replaced just like that?" Lu Sheng suddenly understood why the three sects, the Great Yin, and even the Devil World were so afraid of the World of Pain.
They were not even on the same level.
He floated in the air, and looked down at his palm. The mirror shard was gone, but there was a clear "Evil" character.
He tried to use Yang Essence to erase the black character, but it was useless. The "Evil" character was still clearly imprinted on the skin of his palm. He could feel that this character contained some kind of pull that could pull him into the World of Pain at any time.
As long as he could find a place with a mirror.
"This is bad …" Lu Sheng's heart sank. Although his predicament was resolved, joining the strange and mysterious Black Society was not a good thing.
"Right, everyone in the Black Society can communicate with each other in secret through this character. But don't expose it to a Weapon Grandmaster. Remember. "Shizi Xing's voice came from afar again, and drilled into Lu Sheng's head.
Lu Sheng's expression was dark. He floated in the air, and looked down at the cheering army of the three sects below. He raised his hand.
"Retreat!" With his order, all the disciples of the three sects retreated, returning to their positions like a tide. They left the battlefield and valley full of corpses.
"Remember, although the power of Law is strong, it is far from Origin. Weapon Grandmasters are also beings who have come into contact with Origin. Don't expose this character in front of them … "Shizi Xing's voice came from the" Evil "character again.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath. He ignored the cheers and compliments of his fellow sect disciples and elders. He quickly left the Red River Valley and flew toward the Autumn Moon County.
His predicament was resolved, but the sudden appearance of the Black Society caught him off guard.
He needed to find more information to see if he could find a way out of this. The originally simple situation suddenly became mysterious and complicated after the appearance of the Black Society.
Power …
His power was becoming more and more insufficient. Devil Emperor Vera, Xiao Zizhu, the Black Society, all of these troubles were beyond what he could handle.
If he maintained his current strength, he could only leave it to fate to decide what would happen in the future.
…
A few days later.
In the battle of the Red River Valley, Lu Sheng and the top experts of the Devil Race were both injured. Lu Sheng won by a small margin and forced the Devil Army to retreat. This news immediately spread to the surrounding counties. Even the prefectural cities were alerted. They sent people to ask about the battle.
Lu Sheng casually dealt with Chen Jing's questions, returned to the Taoist Palace, and went to the library. He crazily flipped through the records of the World of Pain and the Black Society.
Soon, the seal on the Secret Area was lifted. At this time, the two Weapon Masters from the Blood Sun finally came to him. They awkwardly offered to take him to meet the Divine Master. However, Lu Sheng declined. They were going to meet the Divine Master at a place called the Golden Waterfall. It was next to the Weapon Grandmaster in the Secret Area.
With his current condition, if he was accidentally discovered by a Weapon Grandmaster, he would be in a terrible situation.
The Black Society was hated by everyone in the Great Yin. Although they were mysterious and powerful, they were the number one enemy of the government.
According to the information Lu Sheng found in the Taoist Palace, when the Black Society first appeared, its members claimed that the world was full of filth, that every life was born with countless sins, and that only pain could wash away the sins. Therefore, in order to teach the people, the Black Society created an organization called the Black Sect, and started to spread their strange teachings.
At first, the Great Yin only thought of them as a normal sect. At most, their teachings were a little strange.
However, an incident later made the entire Devil World and Human World see the Black Society's true colors.
It was a winter of an unrecorded year.
The Black Sect gathered more than 15,000 people. One by one, they took off their clothes, and huddled together in a valley. Their bodies intertwined, and their hands and feet climbed and crossed each other.
There were more than 15,000 people, men and women, young and old. All of them used their own bodies like a jigsaw puzzle to build a ship of flesh.
A bishop of the Black Sound Cult used a black flame called Gamma to ignite the hull of the ship. Tens of thousands of people mysteriously disappeared in the flames without a sound.
This evil ritual was called the Flesh Ship. After that, it happened many more times. It wasn't just mortals who joined, but also Bind level experts with bloodlines. There were even Earth Prime experts.
This caused alarm and panic in the Great Yin and the three major sects.
Many people mysteriously disappeared. There were even experts from the major forces. This was a serious threat to the Great Yin's rule.
Thus, the grand purge of the Black Society began.
