"There will be two Evil Art Masters working with you for this mission. It's a bit dangerous, so be careful. " Shizi Xing considered her words. "As you can see, the World of Pain is vast and sparsely populated. There are very few Evil Art Masters and Mirror Spirit Masters. There are even fewer of them in the human world. Fortunately, the barrier will disappear soon, and we will be able to freely enter and exit the human and devil worlds. The day of purification is coming. Therefore, during this time, members like you who are from the lower realm are very important to us. "
Lu Sheng nodded. He had noticed this peculiarity a long time ago. He had already figured out that this parish did not correspond to Autumn Moon County, but a large province within Moling Prefecture.
Shizi Xing commanded many people to infiltrate and make arrangements for the entire province.
In other words, the Nine Bright Province under Moling Prefecture's jurisdiction had more than fifty prefectures, all under Shizi Xing's command.
There were very few people in the Black Society in the World of Pain. There were only about ten or twenty of them. Although each of them was mysterious and powerful, they were stretched thin when it came to dealing with the entire province.
"Also, the mission will last a long time. You will need to think about what you can do in the middle. As for those two … Never mind, do your own thing. Try not to expose yourself. "Lu Sheng had a rough idea of what Shizi Xing meant.
"Understood." Lu Sheng nodded. He had a rough idea of what Shizi Xing meant. For this mission, it was highly likely that he and the other two would be working separately from each other. Perhaps they would need to cooperate, but it was best to work alone.
"Alright, you may leave." Shizi Xing did not waste any more time.
Lu Sheng turned and quickly exited the hall. He stood on the third floor of the four-story building and gazed into the distance.
The gray land extended from the small town into the endless distance.
Apart from the small town, there were also giant rays flying in the sky.
They flapped their fan-like wings and wandered leisurely in the sky. After a while, they would mysteriously disappear into some corner of the land.
Lu Sheng hesitated. He had joined the Black Society for some time now, and had only just managed to gain a foothold.
"It's time to scout around."
How strong were the natives of the World of Pain, and how strong were the average levels here. These were all things that needed to be investigated.
In addition, Lu Sheng had been here for a long time, but he had not interacted with the other members of the Black League.
He paused and slowly walked down the third floor. When he reached the second floor, two young women wearing white ox masks walked up the stairs side by side.
"Lu Sheng? Is Master Shizi Xing here? "one of them asked.
They were the indigenous sisters known as the Bulls of Brute Force. The longer robes were called fans, and the shorter ones were called locks. They were also the only two people that Lu Sheng knew during this period of time. Or rather, an acquaintance who was willing to chat with him.
"Yes." Lu Sheng nodded.
"The Lord from Seye Palace is about to return. I'm sure Lady Shizi Xing will be very happy," Suo said with a smile.
"Return?" Lu Sheng was taken aback.
"Two years ago, when that Master died in battle, Master Shizi Xing flew into a rage. She said that when that lord returns, she'll definitely teach her a good lesson, "Suo continued. "Even Master Shizi Xing probably didn't expect that she would find a suitable body so quickly."
"That's enough, Suo." Fan suddenly interrupted her sister. "We can't discuss the matters of the two Lords without permission."
"I misspoke. Maybe it's because I changed my body recently and haven't gotten used to it yet, "Suo said mischievously, sticking out her tongue. "Then, see you next time, Lu Sheng."
"Mm." Lu Sheng nodded calmly, and said goodbye to the two girls.
He turned around and continued to go downstairs, but his heart was already in turmoil.
'This again … Getting used to the body?' This was the sixth time he heard someone mention this topic.
He vaguely understood how the people in the World of Pain lived.
He also understood why they thought of him as a newcomer. Because in the beginning, he was the same as these people. Lu Sheng's body was not his original body. He was just a soul that had transmigrated.
Xiao Zizhu must have changed his body, which was why he was absorbed.
'I need to test it.' Lu Sheng walked out of the building completely, and looked up at the small town outside. The town was empty. There was not a single person.
He walked straight out of the iron gate, and did not stop. He walked along the street to the edge of the town. A few more steps, and there was a large gray plain.
The entire town was like a lone island in the middle of a boundless desert. There was nothing in all directions except for the grey sand.
Lu Sheng lifted his foot, and took a step forward.
"Pcchht!!"
He used all his strength, and his body shot forward. In the blink of an eye, he turned into an afterimage, and disappeared into the gray plain.
He moved faster and faster. Lu Sheng could only see blurry gray shadows on both sides of his vision. After running at full speed for 320 heartbeats, he suddenly stopped.
The town behind him had disappeared, and he was surrounded by an endless gray plain.
Right in front of him stood a white horse.
The white horse was very white, without a single blemish. Riding on its back was a woman whose face was as white as the horse's.
The woman wore a luxurious long dress, and her hair was combed into a ponytail that completely exposed her forehead. She was looking coldly in Lu Sheng's direction.
Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes, and sized up this young woman who had suddenly appeared.
'Everything is normal, except that her face is too white …' He became more cautious. He had been in the World of Pain for so long, and he had never seen anyone wander around casually. Clearly, there was some unknown danger outside the town.
"Hello?" Lu Sheng walked closer, and tried to ask for directions.
"Do you know where my brother is?" the woman asked calmly.
"I don't know … I don't know who your brother is," Lu Sheng replied after a slight pause.
"Do you know where my brother is?" the noblewoman repeated her question. It was as if she did not hear Lu Sheng's reply at all.
"…" Lu Sheng noticed that her eyes were blank and unfocused.
The white horse carried the noblewoman on its back as it galloped off into the distance, completely ignoring Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng watched as the man and the horse left. Then, he continued his exploration.
Soon, a strange tree appeared in his line of sight.
This tree was as thick as a person's arms. However, the tree's branches were like willow trees, long and soft like whips.
These whips were violently lashing a young man under the tree.
The man was continuously beaten into a bloody mess, and blood splattered everywhere.
Lu Sheng watched from afar for a while, and suddenly realized that this man seemed to be bleeding endlessly, and was still crying and howling in pain.
"Hello?" Lu Sheng walked closer, and tried to greet him. He abruptly reached out and pinched a bunch of tree branches, stopping the man from getting beaten, and tried to communicate with him.
"Ah! Ah! "
The man was still rolling on the ground, and there were still large amounts of blood and wounds on his body. It was as if invisible whips were madly lashing him.
"Are you alright?" Lu Sheng looked at the man in surprise.
He did not reply, and continued to roll on the ground, blood splattering from his body.
Lu Sheng frowned, and reached out to grab the man from afar.
"Kill me! Kill me!!! "The man suddenly jumped, and pounced at Lu Sheng with incredible speed.
Lu Sheng was just about to reach out to grab him, when suddenly …
"Boom!!!"
The man's entire body exploded, and turned into countless black ashes that covered him.
He was also a little shocked, and was about to carefully study the black ashes, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back.
Almost without thinking, Lu Sheng turned his hand and punched.
"Bam!!"
The fist was blocked by an arm wearing a white glove.
A handsome man with shoulder-length black hair and a vertical black scar between his brows stood behind him with a smile.
"Lu Sheng, I saw you coming out alone, and I was a little worried, so I followed you." The man's skin was as white as snow, and he did not even look like a living creature.
"Su Lun?" Lu Sheng recognized him. This was the brother of the man on the podium wearing the goat mask during his first mission.
He was not familiar with this person, and would only occasionally meet him, but they only nodded at each other. After all, the natives of the World of Pain were not normal. Perhaps it was because they had been in pain for a long time, and their personalities were twisted.
Su Lun was also a member of the Black Society in town.
However, Lu Sheng slowly lowered his head to look at the white bone dagger stuck in his lower back. He would not believe that this person had actually followed him to help him.
"Then … why are you following me?" Seeing that Su Lun was about to answer, Lu Sheng interrupted him again.
"Pchht."
Su Lun pulled out the dagger, and lightly rolled a few meters back.
"I'm supposed to be Master Shizi Xing's assistant. You took my position."
"So?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. Not a single drop of blood seeped out of his wounds.
"So, I've been waiting for you for a long time … just to … kill you!!" Su Lun shifted his feet, and suddenly charged forward like a ghost.
He was so fast that even Lu Sheng could not react in time. He could only dodge to the left, and narrowly avoided a sharp, cold gleam.
He stretched out his hand to grab something, but he didn't catch anything.
"Puff."
There was another muffled sound, and Su Lun appeared behind Lu Sheng. He stuck close to him, and the dagger in his hand sank deep into Lu Sheng's back again.
"So weak …" His head turned slowly, and his neck stretched longer and longer. Like a snake, it coiled around Lu Sheng and tied him up.
Wisps of gray air began to seep from his body into Lu Sheng's body.
"Accept my source of pain, and become one with me …" Su Lun's voice slowly became shrill. At the same time, his neck began to tighten like a python, and madly constricted Lu Sheng's body.
"Huuu …"
Su Lun slowly increased his strength. He could almost see the scene of Lu Sheng being minced into countless pieces and devoured.
"Huuu …"
His strength grew stronger and stronger. Soon, he surpassed the level of a Divine Weapon Master, and reached the level of a Divine Lord.
The corrosion of the gray gas was also the nemesis of all the people in the Mortal Realm who relied on the power of Divine Weapons. This gray air was the nemesis of all Divine Weapons and Devil Blades.
"Dying here without a sound is your fate … Hahaha, regret it, repent it … The moment you came here was the true beginning of the end of your fate. If you had knelt and begged for mercy from the beginning, perhaps I, Master Su Lun, could have let you go. Unfortunately, you didn't seize the best opportunity, the only chance. Don't worry, when you die, I will take over your body and help you live on in the Lower Realm. Of course, don't even think about Master Shizi Xing knowing the truth. This is the Land of Famine. No one dares to come here unprepared. Only an idiot like you would dare … "
Su Lun was stunned.
Expressionlessly, Lu Sheng reached out and grabbed a severed neck.
"Hey, I think it's broken." He shook it at Su Lun.
