"Little Sister Lian."
In the valley behind the Wood Martial Abode, a group of demons stood guard in front of a wooden house beside a snow-white waterfall.
Du Guangchi hugged Yao Lian softly. He looked at the white waterfall. He felt neither sorrow nor joy in his heart. He was at peace.
"Big Brother Chi …" Yao Lian snuggled in his embrace. She pressed her soft body against him as if she wanted to fuse into his body.
"Ever since we left the sect, this is the first time we've been able to live so peacefully without any disturbances." Du Guangchi was slightly emotional. He knew about Yao Lian's background. Her bloodline was half-human and half-demon. It would be fine if she became an ordinary disciple, but it was basically impossible for her to marry him.
Their relationship was not tolerated in the Righteous Path, let alone the Vital Energy Sect, the leader of the Righteous Path.
As the disciple of the Seventh Peak's Peak Master, it was impossible for him to have any relationship with Yao Lian. Even so, the two of them could not avoid falling for each other.
"That's right …" Yao Lian narrowed her eyes like a lazy kitten. "Speaking of which, we have to thank the Wood Martial Abode's master. If it weren't for him, we might still be carrying out the sect's mission and investigating for clues …"
Du Guangchi smiled bitterly. When they were captured, they heard someone coming to their rescue. It seemed like the seniors of the sect were protecting them in secret. However, he did not know what happened to the seniors.
At this moment, a small demon with the head of a fish and the body of a human emerged from the waterfall's pond. He held his trident and shouted at the two of them.
"Du Guangchi, Yao Lian, the abode master has summoned you."
The two of them were instantly invigorated. They had been imprisoned for so many days, and there was finally news.
Du Guangchi helped Yao Lian up. They followed the small demon along the valley's path and entered a cave on the right. After passing through a few spacious and crude caves, the two of them soon saw Lu Sheng, who had defeated them and imprisoned them for several days.
Lu Sheng was still dressed in a long, dark blue robe. His face was handsome, and his expression was cold. However, someone was sitting in front of him.
Du Guangchi was fine, but Yao Lian could not help but exclaim softly when she saw the person.
When Du Guangchi heard her, he quickly looked at the person carefully.
This person had broad shoulders, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. He had a red beard. The most eye-catching feature was the two thick black horns on his head.
"Lian 'er, your father asked me to bring you back." The burly man's expression turned cold when he saw Yao Lian. He then looked at Du Guangchi, who was leaning on her. He could not help but scoff.
"What a disciple of the Vital Energy Sect's Seventh Peak. To think that you've charmed my niece to this extent."
"Second Uncle … this has nothing to do with Du. I …" Yao Lian hurriedly said.
"That's enough. We'll explain when we get back," Lu Sheng said drily and interrupted Yao Lian.
He was planning to go out and find an active volcano to cultivate and make a breakthrough, but he didn't expect that a cultivator would immediately come to him, and it was a powerful demonic cultivator.
"Ox Demon" Lian "Demon" Lian Demon "Lian". He "Lian" Demon "Demon" Peak of of of "He" Of Lian "Lian Lian Demon, Demon, Sect, Lian Lian 'Tribe, and was Lian. Lian.
Of course, it was not for free.
"Thank you for your understanding, Abode Master. This niece of mine has been restless since she was young. This time, she came to the Wood Martial Abode because she was bewitched by the Vital Energy Sect. "To be honest, the Ox Demon Tribe doesn't like the Vital Energy Sect's way of doing things. "However, this little girl has been rebellious since she was young. She wants to make her own decisions. When she left home, we thought she'd be back soon. We didn't expect her to join the Vital Energy Sect. This is …" Niu Kun explained helplessly.
"It's fine. As long as the materials are ready. The Vital Energy Sect takes advantage of others. That's despicable," Lu Sheng said drily.
If it wasn't for the fact that the other party had brought enough materials that he needed, he wouldn't even bother with this group of people. Now that they were handing over the materials, it was a matter of mutual consent.
"Don't worry, Cave Master. I've brought the materials. You can inspect them at any time. The Ox Demon Tribe doesn't care about these resources. However, Cave Master, do you know how much turmoil you've caused outside with the Earth Lake Sword, one of the Vital Energy Sect's Divine Weapons, in your hands? You must be prepared, "Niu Kun reminded him softly.
Lu Sheng's brows twitched slightly. He knew that Niu Kun was showing his goodwill. He nodded. "Thank you, Brother Kun."
"You're welcome. I'll be taking her with me. "
"Do as you wish." Lu Sheng nodded.
Niu Kun stood up. He allowed Yao Lian and Du Guangchi to talk for a while before he brought Yao Lian out of the stone hall.
Soon enough, Du Guangchi was the only one left in the stone hall.
"You said you'll let us go. When will you be able to?" His lover was taken away by his family. Although Du Guangchi was reluctant, he was not anxious. He was only slightly sad.
When he calmed down, the first thing he did was ask Lu Sheng.
"There's no rush. I won't lock you up forever. Don't worry." Lu Sheng replied casually, "However, you're of great importance. The Vital Energy Sect will surely send more people here. I won't let you go in the short term."
When Du Guangchi heard this, he gave up. He asked about the reason, but he did not receive any reply from Lu Sheng. Only then did he return to the small house helplessly.
At this point, Lu Sheng was the only one left in the stone hall.
He sat on his seat. After killing Die Shazi, Mu Yun's original body and spirit had partially fused with his main body.
Half of Lu Sheng's objective for coming to this world was accomplished. Mu Yun's wish was fulfilled halfway.
The other half was due to two reasons.
One was his resentment toward the Vital Energy Sect.
Mu Yun had been pressured by the Vital Energy Sect for so many years. In the end, even the Arcane Orb that he cultivated for three lifetimes was snatched away. The resentment in his heart could not be vented, and it formed karma.
The second reason was Mu Yun's remaining kin in the central plains.
Back then, Taoist Mu Yun was forced to flee overseas. In his haste, he did not care about anything else. Putting aside his kin in his previous two lifetimes, they were nowhere to be found due to the passage of time.
However, things were different in his last life. In his last life, he was the only male who inherited the family business. After he ran away, no one knew what happened to his family.
These two karma were what Lu Sheng needed to complete now.
'I'm halfway through the fusion, and my main body's strength has increased again … At this rate, after I've completely fused with Mu Yun, I'll only need to fuse with his spirit once more at most, and his spirit will be strengthened by almost twofold. This speed of cultivation is truly terrifying. '
The stronger his spirit, the faster he would be able to grasp the Death Flame. His pure strength would be higher as well.
'The flow of time in this world is definitely much faster than in Great Yin. Perhaps, after I've settled my karma, I can explore the nature of the Death Flame here and complete the Jade Star stage.' With a thought, Lu Sheng stood up. He left the stone hall and went to the cave of the treasure vault.
The gifts and materials sent by the Ox Demon Tribe were lying in the treasure vault.
'The Ghost Fire Grass of the Ox Demon Tribe, the Black Cloud Pearls of the Mist Clam Tribe, and the Four Clawed Nine Spirits Insects that the other cultivators offered as tribute. They're all good materials with the Yin attribute. It's a good opportunity for me to attain the Nascent Soul tier. I'll bring them along and see if I can further refine the Sea-overturning Orb. '
He waved his hand and grabbed three white jade boxes of different shapes from the wooden shelf at the side of the treasure vault. Then, he carried the jade boxes and flew out of the Wood Martial Abode. He shot toward the distant surface of the sea.
As for subduing the North Sea's cultivators, naturally, the few elites he had recruited would take action. They would only inform him to act personally if they encountered a tough opponent.
He flew to the deep-sea region where he had cultivated in seclusion before this. Lu Sheng was about to dive down when two beams of dark red light suddenly shot out from his sides. They came crashing toward his sides.
"Who's there?!" Lu Sheng's Core Qi rebounded automatically.
With two dull thuds, the two beams of red light suddenly dissipated. They exploded in front of Lu Sheng and turned into specks of red light.
With the sound of crashing water, two huge black killer whales, one on the left and one on the right, pounced out of the sea. The eyes of the two killer whales were shining with dazzling red light. Obviously, this was the source of the red beam just now.
One of the killer whales was more than ten meters long. It leaped out like a dark cloud. It weighed more than ten tons and crashed toward Lu Sheng.
"Whizz!"
However, in an instant, the two killer whales' gigantic bodies stopped in midair. They remained motionless. Then, there were two loud explosions.
The two killer whales were blasted to smithereens above Lu Sheng's head. They turned into a rain of blood that rained down. The surrounding seawater was instantly dyed red by the rain of blood.
Lu Sheng's expression did not change. He stood quietly on the surface of the sea and looked toward his right.
"Come out!" he shouted suddenly. His voice was like thunder, and it was transmitted along with his Core Qi.
It was just a simple sentence, but the Core Qi he used to circulate was equivalent to the total Core Qi of an ordinary early stage Core Formation Perfected Master.
Such a huge amount of Core Qi exploded and was compressed into a single sentence. The might produced was unquestionable. "Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam! "
A series of white splashes exploded on the surface of the sea in front of Lu Sheng. The splashes formed a line and spread into the distance.
However, the formless sound waves had just spread when they were blocked by a blurry, translucent figure.
"Splash!"
The splashes spread. The Core Qi contained in the sound waves collided with another strange and violent special force. They quickly dissolved and canceled each other out.
"As expected of Perfected Master Mu Yun, who has hidden his Mysterious Art for decades. Now that I've seen you, it's true that your reputation is not as good as meeting you in person."
This person slowly revealed himself. His body gradually solidified from its translucent state. It was a tall and slender man dressed in black with a mask on his face.
Between this person's exposed eyes, there was a sinister scar that ran diagonally downwards. Together with his sharp purple eyes, he gave off an inexplicable sense of ruthlessness and cruelty.
"I'm Chun Songzi. I heard that Cave Master has captured the Vital Energy Sect's Fated Child, Du Guangchi, and one of the three Divine Swords, the Earth Lake Sword. I've come to represent the Earth King Hall to seek cooperation with you, Cave Master." This person's voice was neither sinister nor masculine. It was slow and unhurried. It was clearly a man's voice, but it gave off a strange feeling.
"Earth King Hall?" Lu Sheng immediately understood the other party's background.
In the current world, the Vital Energy Sect was the most outstanding. They were known as the number one sect of the Righteous Path. However, although the Devil Path was suppressed, they still had their own representative leading force.
This leading force was the Earth King Hall.
Legend had it that they had always been the main force and the frontline in the fight against the Vital Energy Sect. Now that he had accidentally obtained the Earth Lake Sword, it made sense that they would seize this opportunity to seek cooperation.
"Cooperation? Is this how you're going to cooperate with me? "Lu Sheng was referring to the attack of the two demonized Killer Whales.
If he was an ordinary Core Formation Enlightened Master, or if he was still the original Taoist Master Mu Yun, he would have been entangled by the Killer Whales even if he was not injured.
The two Killer Whales were not ordinary. They were Foundation Building Demon Cultivators who had their Demon Cores catalyzed. After they were captured, they were forcefully controlled and forced to unleash all of their life force and convert it into actual combat strength.
Even an ordinary Early-stage Core Formation cultivator would be wary of the explosive power they unleashed in such a short period of time.
"Don't misunderstand." Chun Songzi smiled. He did not think much of it. "First of all, the two Killer Whales are merely a small test to see if you're the cave master.
"Second, our Earth King Hall is quite sincere this time. Third, Godly Lord Peng Jun is here personally for this matter, Cave Master."
"Godly Lord?" Lu Sheng was slightly moved. The Godly Lord of the Earth King Hall was the abbreviation of a Nascent Soul True Lord. He did not expect this organization to act so quickly. The Vital Energy Sect had yet to arrive, and they were already meeting with him.
He thought for a moment, and then asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"
