"Uh … That's … an accident, an accident …" Li Shunxi was helpless. He tried to explain awkwardly, but couldn't come up with anything.
"Celebrating your marriage and your daughter's first birthday at the same time. You're really something …" Lu Sheng closed the invitation, speechless.
"I didn't know that she gave birth behind my back …" Li Shunxi shook his head. "But since she's born, she's a child of the Li Family. I have the responsibility to take care of her." His expression turned serious as he spoke.
Lu Sheng patted his shoulder, but didn't say anything.
After the two of them sat down, Li Shunxi waved away the guards and handmaidens beside him. After much persuasion, he finally managed to drag the two old men out of the room, allowing him and Lu Sheng to talk in private.
In the great hall, Lu Sheng also dismissed the people from the Prime Devil Sect. He sat across from Li Shunxi.
"Big Brother Lu, you have to be careful." When everyone left, Li Shunxi waved his right arm. Instantly, a moon-white veil appeared around them, covering the two of them.
"Oh? What do you mean? "Lu Sheng's expression changed, and he asked.
He knew that Li Shunxi wouldn't speak without thinking. He must have thought about many things before coming here with such fanfare.
After all, he was no longer the lone wanderer of the pugilistic world.
Li Shunxi's expression was serious. His hands moved like lightning to form a few seals in front of him.
"Chi!"
A semi-circular, glass-like transparent screen appeared in the air between the two of them. Colorful images appeared on the screen.
The images showed a huge gray area. The names of various places in the Great Yin were marked on it. At the top, close to the north, was the Yin Capital.
"Big Brother, please take a look." Li Shunxi pointed at the image. "This is the current territory of the Great Yin." He tapped the screen lightly. Almost one-fifth of the area instantly turned black.
"And these black areas are areas that can no longer be suppressed. The World of Pain can penetrate through space and enter the land at any time."
He tapped the screen lightly again.
Soon, a glaring red area appeared on the eastern side of the Great Yin's map.
"This is a place that might be contaminated by Evil Spirits. These otherworld monsters eat everything, and there are many ways to infiltrate. It's extremely difficult to get rid of them. "
Now, Lu Sheng understood. The Autumn Moon County he was at was at the border of these two areas. the World of Pain could descend at any time on the left, and the Evil Spirit monsters could erupt at any time on the right.
"That's why I'm here. Big Brother Lu, it's not just you. The entire area controlled by the Youyin Sect and the Thousand Sun Sect is right on the border between the two regions. This is also the reason why Weapon Grandmaster Aurora Polaris personally went to the Gate of Illusion to suppress the Evil Spirits. Otherwise, why would he be the first to rush to the frontlines? "
Before this, Lu Sheng had also felt that something was amiss. It was only when Li Shunxi pointed it out that he understood the entire situation.
Based on the current situation, the Thousand Sun Sect and the Youyin Sect could be overwhelmed by these two great threats at any time.
Weapon Grandmaster Aurora Polaris was already heavily injured. Now, he had to suppress the internal conflict and resist the Evil Spirits and the World of Pain all by himself. The pressure was unimaginable.
"Also, your master, Divine Lord Shift Moth, has been suppressing a place where the Evil Spirits are leaking out. Otherwise, the Thousand Sun Sect would be in even more trouble," Li Shunxi said solemnly.
Lu Sheng muttered to himself. He held the teacup in his hand and remained silent for a long time.
This wasn't a problem that could be solved by one or two Divine Lords. It involved Weapon Grandmasters. Moreover, with the Thousand Sun Sect's current situation, even if all the Weapon Grandmasters in the Great Yin were unharmed and gathered together, they might not be able to hold out.
He sat for a long time.
"So, what does the Three Sacred Gates mean …?" Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice.
Li Shunxi smiled wryly.
"My teacher is the Earth Sage of the Three Origins Nine Pagodas. He's one of the Holy Kings of the Three Sacred Gates. He's always been in charge of monitoring the World of Pain. I came here this time to visit Weapon Grandmaster Aurora Polaris on behalf of my teacher.
Lu Sheng immediately understood.
Li Shunxi was on a different level now. He was the equivalent of an ambassador of the Three Sacred Gates. His main task was to contact Weapon Grandmaster Aurora Polaris. In truth, he did not have to come. However, as a friend, he still came to warn Lu Sheng.
"So … you mean …" Lu Sheng's expression was dark.
"If it's possible, it's best for Big Brother Lu to change locations," Li Shunxi said with a straight face.
"I'll consider this." Lu Sheng nodded. Now that the Prime Devil Sect was deeply rooted in this place, changing locations was not an ordinary thing.
"Alright, we're done here. Big Brother Lu, do you want to see my daughter?" When Li Shunxi mentioned this, his expression changed. "When I heard that your son, Lu Ning, was born, it's my fault that I didn't come to congratulate you immediately. How about this? Our families will be betrothed when we were kids. Big Brother, you've saved me many times, and I'm extremely grateful. To prevent us from becoming estranged in the future, wouldn't it be better to tie the knot between us? "
When Lu Sheng heard this, his expression changed slightly. Li Shunxi had always been lucky. He had managed to escape death time and time again. Now, he had finally settled down. Before a colossus like the Three Sacred Gates, his enemies and troubles in the past were like mantises trying to stop a chariot. They could not even withstand a single blow.
The Three Sacred Gates had existed for countless years. It had a long history, and its position was stable. To tie the knot between them was also a form of insurance for the Lu Family.
After some thought, Lu Sheng nodded slightly.
"That's good too. We can set a date."
When Li Shunxi heard this, he was instantly overjoyed. "That's settled, then."
Actually, he did not mention this to Lu Sheng at all. Originally, his teacher had planned to find another Weapon Grandmaster's descendant for a betrothal.
Although there was a difference in age, their statuses were about the same. However, Li Shunxi argued strongly and insisted on making his own decisions in his own family matters. That was why he hurried over and set the betrothal with Lu Sheng.
What his teacher valued more was the equality of status and investment. However, Li Shunxi had always remembered Lu Sheng's kindness in saving his life many times. If he could establish a relationship in this regard, he would have a certain degree of confidence in mobilizing the Holy Gate's resources and protecting him in the future.
Compared to the disciples of other top forces that his teacher paid attention to, Li Shunxi did not care about the expansion of his forces. Compared to the expansion of his forces, he valued relationships more.
After making the decision, Lu Sheng immediately brought Li Shunxi to visit his son, Lu Ning. After Li Shunxi publicly gave Lu Ning a piece of precious jade, Lu Sheng returned the favor by giving a purple jade to Li Shunxi's daughter, Li Hanzhu.
Under the witness of Divine Lord Tong Yi, the two sides officially became in-laws.
The news spread quickly throughout the Autumn Moon County, and in all directions at the same time. All the major forces received the news immediately.
Unlike the forces of the Prime Devil Sect, the Three Sacred Gates was a well-deserved colossus. It was much stronger than any of the Three Sects and Three Families. This colossal force that had always been hidden in the dark had gradually revealed its tentacles in recent years, but it had never openly appeared in the eyes of the public like this before.
For a time, many people behind the scenes were ready to make a move. However, in the short few days after Li Shunxi arrived at the Prime Devil Sect, the area around the Autumn Moon County trembled from time to time. All the malicious tentacles were killed by a mysterious expert in just a few days.
This included the spies of the six Noble Sects. In their shock, the people behind the scenes fully experienced the power and dominance of the Three Sacred Gates.
The Three Sacred Gates, to be exact, was not a force of the Great Yin. Instead, it was a huge force that spanned across the entire continent. It had existed for much longer than the entire Great Yin Empire.
After dealing with a series of matters, Lu Sheng saw off Li Shunxi and the others. The threat was resolved, and Tong Yi also took the opportunity to leave. The Autumn Moon County quickly returned to its usual peace.
Lu Sheng also collected all the information that the Three Sacred Gates had gathered over the years, and combined it with what he learned from his conversation with Li Shunxi.
The incense floated straight up, and only dispersed naturally when it reached a meter in the air.
Lu Sheng knelt in his study. A pile of scrolls of various sizes was placed in front of him.
'From what Li Shunxi said, the Three Sacred Gates is detached from worldly affairs. Normally, they would not officially interact with the outside world. At most, they would secretly guide and participate. However, when the Three Sacred Gates makes an appearance, it will be the time of the Great Calamity.
'However, the Great Yin's Weapon Grandmaster is heavily injured. The Devil World clearly has several Devil Emperors, but they still bide their time, and only let Vera do as he pleases. The situation is rather strange.
'Now, the Three Sacred Gates has appeared as well.' The Three Sacred Gates was a complicated organization. They definitely had Weapon Grandmasters among them to be able to maintain a detached position in the Great Yin. However, judging from Li Shunxi's tone, it seemed that the Weapon Grandmasters of the Three Sacred Gates would not absolutely stand on the side of the Human World or the Devil World.
'This organization seems to have been created specifically to fight against the World of Pain.' Lu Sheng seemed to have understood something.
Currently, half of his identity was a member of the parish of the World of Pain. If the World of Pain truly descended, he had two choices.
The first was to completely join the World of Pain.
The second was to completely join the Human World.
However, no matter how he looked at it, the risk was great. His status in the World of Pain was too low, and the overall strength of the Human World was too weak. If he wanted to protect his family and the Prime Devil Sect, he was not strong enough.
'Looks like I have to break through to the Weapon Grandmaster level as soon as possible and open that door in my heart.' Although his rate of improvement was already fast enough, when the pressure truly arrived, Lu Sheng still felt that he was too weak.
'I'll go see Sect Master Aurora Polaris first. Then, I'll quickly start moving, and then proceed with the next Descent.'
Lu Sheng made the arrangements in his heart.
According to Shizi Xing's classification, he was now a true Origin Realm expert. Even in the World of Pain, he was not considered weak. However, because he did not have a teacher to guide him, he could only rely on himself to explore his future path. It was very difficult.
Lu Sheng quickly stood up.
"Someone!"
An elite disciple of the Devil Sect instantly arrived.
"Here."
"Inform the main branch that I'll be heading to the East Sea in a few days to meet Sect Master Aurora Polaris."
"Understood!"
Lu Sheng waved his sleeve, and the information on the Three Sacred Gates on the table rolled up. In the blink of an eye, it flew away on its own and returned to its original spot on the bookshelf.
He summoned Deep Blue and took a look. His Mental Energy had increased by more than 80,000 units after eating the three Jade Star Divine Weapons. Now, it was more than 90,000 units, close to 100,000.
