"I've heard this person's name before. Jing Hong … changed his surname without permission. Even though it's a homonym, it shows how much he hates his family. "Tong Yi frowned slightly. "But why is he here?"
"That's what we need to explain," Director Cheng Xiao said solemnly. "This Jing Hong has joined a mysterious organization called Wasp. There aren't many people in this organization, but every single one of them is an extreme elite. We don't know what they're trying to do or what they're trying to do. The only thing we know is that they occasionally appear in strange places and do inexplicable things. They're also extremely extreme and act as if no one else is around. "
"Oh? Wasp? "Tong Yi frowned and didn't say anything else.
Lu Sheng, on the other hand, kept recalling the scene he had seen. Clearly, this Jing Hong had somehow taken the blame for him.
But what surprised him was that in the corner of the scene, there seemed to be a person's silhouette. It was one of the people hiding in the corner. That person looked a lot like Li Shunxi. Even though it was only his back.
But with Lu Sheng's vision and memory, he was almost certain that it was Li Shunxi even though it was only a guess.
'Li Shunxi has the ability to predict things. Wasn't he still in the Great Song? It's one thing for him to suddenly come here, but why is he with Qiong Shang and this Jing Hong?' Lu Sheng thought.
Just then, Director Cheng Xiao continued, "Also, the higher-ups sent news that it's not just here. There are also people from Wasp committing crimes in the capital. It seems to be related to the internal strife in the Yuanguang Family."
"Internal strife in the Yuanguang Family?" Tong Yi repeated.
"Yes. An important member of the Yuanguang Family was sacrificed, and there was a problem when the family was redistributing the benefits. This person from Wasp was one of the trump cards of one of the parties involved in the conflict. Now, this has been exposed, "Cheng Xiao explained.
"Interesting …" Lu Sheng chuckled. At the mention of the Yuanguang Family, he naturally thought of the birth mother of this body, Yuanguang Chexing. He didn't have a good impression of that woman or the entire Yuanguang Family. She was a family that could take over a magpie's nest, forcing people to use up their essence blood to give birth to children. There was no way Lu Sheng would have any sense of belonging to a family like that.
"Come to think of it, it was quite tragic. The Yuanguang Family's internal strife ended, and their vitality was greatly damaged. In the end, the Weapon Grandmaster Patriarch had to personally take action to suppress the situation. However, I heard that the winning party had amazing skills. They were exiled clansmen who had returned from the outside world … "Cheng Xiao said a few more words.
"Did you hear his name? The winning side? "Lu Sheng suddenly interrupted." I have a friend from the Yuanguang Family who wants to ask about the situation. "
"Err …" Cheng Xiao was taken aback. He didn't expect Lu Sheng to ask about this. However, he was well-informed and had a strong memory. After thinking for a while, he quickly recalled it.
"His name is Yuanguang Cheng. It's said that he rose from hundreds of siblings and inherited one of the three Divine Weapons of the family, the Holy Sword of Dusk, with two others. He received the legacy of the previous family leader and inherited terrifying power. He's now one of the three great family leaders, and his power is unfathomable. He became one of the few who stood at the top of the Great Yin. "
Lu Sheng fell silent.
He had naturally heard about the Yuanguang Family when he came to the Great Yin. He remembered Yuanguang Cheng. Because his birth mother, Yuanguang Chexing, was Yuanguang Cheng's daughter.
"The Holy Sword of Dusk … a Divine Intellect Divine Weapon … one of the three great families' main trump cards," Divine Lord Tong Yi exclaimed. "The last time I saw the Holy Sword of Dusk, its power had already reached an unfathomable level. Although it's not as strong as a Weapon Grandmaster … the Divine Weapon Master appointed by it is probably as strong as us."
"So powerful?!" The red-faced Liu Qingyuan was shocked.
"It is. A Divine Weapon Master skipped the entire Divine Weapon Master level and became a Divine Lord, and the strongest among all Divine Lords. This was why the three great families had always been at the top. Their Divine Weapons had been worshipped for countless years, and their power had reached an indescribable level. This was purely due to the power of the Divine Weapon. But that's about it. This is power exchanged for giving up the hope of becoming a Weapon Grandmaster, "Tong Yi explained, shaking his head.
"That's still very powerful …" Liu Qingyuan sighed. "If it were me, I'd be willing too."
"Let's not talk about this for now. Next, let's get rid of this Jing Hong. Even if we can't capture him, we have to at least drive him away." Tong Yi set the tone.
Everyone began to analyze the information they had gathered to determine the most likely location of Jing Hong. However, the most discussed method was to lure him out.
Lu Sheng sat at the side and listened quietly. His mind, however, wasn't here. Instead, it was somewhere else.
…
Yuanguang Family, Imperial Capital of the Great Yin.
The tallest buildings in the entire Imperial Capital were the three towers. The Yuanguang Tower in the north of the Imperial Capital belonged to the Yuanguang Family.
The tower had 172 floors in total. The top of the tower pierced the clouds and was almost invisible. Every floor of the tower was engraved with many beautiful patterns of special flowers. There was no animal culture, only flowers, all kinds of flowers, colorful flowers.
From afar, it looked like every floor of the tower was planted with a large number of flowers. When the wind blew, there would be a faint fragrance of flowers.
Occasionally, when the formation patterns were activated, there would be crystal "pollen" blown away by the wind.
On the 99th floor of the Yuanguang Tower, Yuanguang Cheng stood on the balcony with a slightly hunched back and a golden staff in her hand. She looked down at the entire Yin Capital.
"Ahem …"
She coughed softly, and the servant beside her quickly gave her a back massage.
Yuanguang Cheng's old face showed a trace of exhaustion and boredom. Even the majestic scenery of the Yin Capital that stretched as far as the eye could see didn't move her at all.
"Mother, what orders do you have for your daughters?" The calm voices of two women came from behind her.
Yuanguang Cheng slowly turned around and looked at Yuanguang Yu and Yuanguang Chexing, who were kneeling on one knee inside the tower.
"The farce is over. The Elder Ancestor didn't blame us, but we still have to be vigilant at all times. We can't treat care as indulgence and forgiveness as a matter of course," she said in a low voice.
"We will," the two women hurriedly replied.
"Long Xing (Fo) has already passed away. You have to make arrangements for his descendants. And mother … no … I should call her Yuanguang Juanhuan. She went against the family's interests and colluded with the enemy. She also needs to be punished carefully. These are all the Elder Ancestor's orders, "Yuanguang Cheng ordered.
"Lord Long Xing's descendants have all been brought into the family. Also, grandmother's body … "Yuanguang Yu was about to continue explaining.
"Just follow the family rules," Yuanguang Cheng interrupted her. "Now that the family is dying, to make up for the family's strength, you should bring back all the Burning Sons that were scattered outside. After all, they are all of the family's bloodline. It's not good to let too many of them out. "
Yuanguang Yu and Yuanguang Chexing's eyes lit up.
Although they were also Yuanguang Cheng's daughters, Yuanguang Cheng had too many children. They were the only ones who could be put in an important position. This also reflected the real status of the two of them.
As for bringing back the descendants, there were thousands of casualties in the civil war. There was a huge gap. Even the main family, which was already very small, had lost a lot of people. They could bring back their brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters to fill in the gaps.
"Make a list of the Burning Sons around the Great Yin, and bring them back one by one. I don't need to teach you anything else, right? "Yuanguang Cheng said lightly. "I can't hold the Holy Sword of Dusk for long … I'm old … and tired … Lord Holy Sword isn't satisfied with being confined to an old woman like me. He needs a younger and stronger spirit. "
"I understand …" Yuanguang Yu and Yuanguang Chexing finally understood their mother's intention. She wanted to continue the inheritance …
Gathering all the bloodlines was to choose a stronger spirit to inherit the Holy Sword of Dusk.
…
Shen Chuan County, Moling Prefecture.
Large tracts of hilly terrain appeared colorful under the sunlight. A light breeze blew past, and the grass and leaves on the hills moved with the wind. The colors also flowed slightly. It was extraordinarily beautiful.
It was noon, and the sun was high in the sky.
Divine Lord Tong Yi and Lu Sheng walked on the top of the mountain on the right side of the valley, one in front of the other.
The two of them looked down at the colorful scenery in the valley, smelling the faint fragrance of the grass and flowers. Both of them felt relaxed and refreshed.
"Speaking of which, there's a story about this valley." Lu Sheng had been in the Moling Prefecture for a long time, and had read a lot of books. He smiled and said casually. "It's said that a seven-colored phoenix once descended here. Because the weather was too stormy, its feathers were too wet, so it took off its feather clothes and shook off the water. Who would've thought that the legendary Nine Provinces Weapon Master would pass by this place, and on a whim, wanted to capture the seven-colored phoenix to make it his mount. The phoenix was so scared that it flew away, and didn't dare to take the feather clothes. So the clothes melted into the ground, creating this beautiful scenery."
"If that's true, then it's not bad. Unfortunately, it's fake. As far as I know, the Nine Provinces Weapon Master never came here, and has always been active in the northern part of the Great Yin. "Divine Lord Tong Yi shook his head and laughed.
Lu Sheng was speechless, and then remembered that in the legends, the Weapon Master wasn't that far away from this old man. When myths and legends were just small stories around him, a feeling of unreality slowly reverberated in his heart.
"Actually … it's a shame. When I first saw you, I thought of my grandson who died in an accident many years ago." Divine Lord Tong Yi looked at the smile on Lu Sheng's face and suddenly sighed. "Especially when you smile …"
Lu Sheng paused, then calmed down, not knowing how to answer.
"But he wasn't as powerful as you. Please don't mind me, Divine Lord Lu. If I'm not wrong, you're not even 200 years old yet, right? "Divine Lord Tong Yi asked softly.
"Indeed." Lu Sheng nodded. Of course, he didn't dare to say his age. Reaching the Divine Lord level in his twenties … no one would believe it. Even if they did, it would still cause a huge disaster.
"That's why it's a bit sudden sometimes. But don't worry, Divine Lord Lu, I understand … many things …" Divine Lord Tong Yi didn't know how to explain, so he could only shake his head with a smile.
