'Evil Spirits …'
Lu Sheng suddenly recalled the legendary splitting ability of the Evil Spirits. They could reproduce and split. The strength of a Evil Spirit with such an ability would not always be at the level of a Divine Lord.
'If that's the case, it might explain why these Evil Spirits are so weak. I reckon that the number of Evil Spirits that leaked out is very small. These countless Evil Spirits must be the splits of a few Divine Lord Evil Spirits. 'Lu Sheng understood.
He remembered the golden-haired man who levitated in the golden flames. That man was definitely a peak expert among the Evil Spirits. It was highly likely that he was an Art Breaker.
Judging from that man's expression, he had killed his vanguard. He would not let the matter rest so easily. It was highly likely that he would target him.
'An Art Breaker is most likely a Weapon Grandmaster. Looks like I'll have to hurry up …' A sense of urgency rose in Lu Sheng's heart.
He did not know how long it had been since he had this feeling. The last time he felt this urgency to improve his strength was before he became a Divine Lord.
Right now, his cultivation base was still stuck at the threshold of Weapon Grandmaster. He did not have a complete understanding of the true strength of a Weapon Grandmaster.
'It's time to Descend again.' Lu Sheng made up his mind.
After discussing with the other factions about the specific arrangements for the future, all forces were temporarily gathered together. The Prime Devil Sect would lead them and take over the Nine Bright Province. The specific allocation of troops would be coordinated by the Three Sects and Duanmu Wan.
Lu Sheng went straight to the rear hall to see the frightened people of the Lu Manor.
Lu Quanan suffered some light injuries, while the rest were fine. Only more than half of the servants and servants were killed or injured. Fortunately, there were quite a number of secret hiding places in the Lu Manor, and there were also formations that isolated aura fluctuations. Thus, they managed to hide from the massacre of many Evil Spirits.
Lu Qingqing had not fully recovered from her running around. Her arm was injured. Chen Yunxi also told Lu Sheng about the close call she'd had.
"Did the Evil Spirit touch you?" When Lu Sheng heard that Chen Yunxi was hit by an Evil Spirit, his expression tensed.
"No … It felt like it was flying in a different direction. I don't think it hit me. " Chen Yunxi was slightly puzzled. She clearly remembered that when the Evil Spirit was about to hit her, it did not deviate at all. However, it suddenly deviated in the end.
"Where's Ningning?" Lu Sheng looked at Lu Ning, who was nearby. The little fellow was lying in Lady Jade's embrace, sleeping soundly.
Mu Jueqing was by his side.
"Qingqing, you have made a great contribution this time. Master will reward you well when we return!" Lu Sheng forced a smile and reached out to stroke Mu Jueqing's hair.
"I don't want a reward. I'll be thankful if you teach me properly for a few days." Mu Jueqing curled her lips.
Lu Sheng was also helpless. He had too many things to do and had no time to guide this disciple of his.
"Also, I'll bring you back to your hometown to take a look."
"Yes, thank you, Teacher." Although she didn't think anything would happen to her, Mu Jueqing still nodded obediently.
Lu Sheng examined the injuries of his old father, Lu Quanan, and the others. After treating them with Yang Essence, he finally came to Lu Ning's side.
He pressed his hand on the old man's forehead, and his Yang Essence surged into the old man's body, circulating through his body.
"That aura seems much weaker …" Lu Sheng's heart stirred slightly.
"What's wrong? Is Ning Ning hurt somewhere? "Chen Yunxi saw that he didn't react immediately, so she approached him and asked.
"It's nothing. He's just in shock. He's a little dispirited. He'll be fine after some rest," Lu Sheng said casually.
"Stay in the Devil Palace for now. There's a fortified formation here. It won't be easily breached in a short time. It's safe. Moreover, there's a huge amount of food stored here. They're all stored in cold air, so it'll be as fresh as possible. "
"Mm-hm, alright." Chen Yunxi quickly nodded. "What about you? Are you going out again? "She was slightly worried.
"No, I'm not going out. I'm going into seclusion to prepare for the onslaught of the Evil Spirits. Everything outside will be discussed by Duanmu Wan and the other three Divine Weapon Masters. Also, my teacher, Liu Shanzi, will send the results of the shoes to the secret compartment in my seclusion room. I'll take care of it when I'm free, "Lu Sheng said briefly.
"Can you not go?" Madam Jade was still slightly reluctant. Moreover, everyone in the Lu Manor did not want Lu Sheng to leave. Now that the Evil Spirits were approaching, the peaceful Nine Bright Province was instantly plunged into a perilous situation.
Under such circumstances, only absolute power could ensure everyone's safety.
"I have no choice. I'm forced by the situation. However, before I go into seclusion, I'll completely deal with the threat of the Evil Spirits in the surroundings to ensure the safety of this place for now. Don't worry, "Lu Sheng added.
"Don't be careless! Be careful! "Lu Quanan took a step forward and patted Lu Sheng's shoulder.
"Don't worry." Lu Sheng nodded solemnly. Finally, he looked at Lu Ning. Then, he turned and strode away.
He quickly notified the Three Sects and the people from the county city. Lu Sheng ordered the Prime Devil Sect's subordinates to cooperate with him. He left the Devil Palace and stopped in front of the gate. Countless strands of black Devil Qi spread out and surrounded him as he soared into the sky and flew eastward.
As he flew past the county city, thick smoke billowed out from beneath the city, forming pillars of black smoke. The seawater that Lu Sheng had drawn over earlier still remained in the ruins. It formed a strange scene of buildings still burning on the surface of the water.
Occasionally, a few survivors could be seen lying on the floating debris, crying loudly.
Some even made rafts out of broken planks and rowed them with their bare hands in an attempt to leave the county city.
Lu Sheng flew past the city and the Three Sects' encampments. Apart from a few extremely fast areas, the rest of the area was covered in water and fire.
He did not release much water himself, but the amount of water he drew was much greater.
After passing through the flooded Autumn Moon County City, he arrived at a dry and cracked land. There was no water in the withered yellow soil. There were no plants or grass. There was only pure dark yellow.
The ground was dry and cracked. There was no sign of life.
Lu Sheng rode on the black Qi and slowly descended from a thousand meters in the sky. He descended to about a hundred meters and looked down.
All he could see was a patch of dark yellow.
'Although that Andula has absorbed a large number of Evil Spirits in the surroundings, there must still be some that have escaped.' Lu Sheng understood this in his heart. His eyes swept across his surroundings.
Soon, a lightning-fast white sword gleam appeared where it had been.
Every time the sword gleam swung, it was like a bolt of white lightning. With a loud crack, it left a white spiderweb of cracks in the sky.
After a long while, the cracks slowly disappeared.
There were dozens of Evil Spirits surrounding the sword gleam, attacking it in a frenzy. Although the spiderweb could force them back, it could not completely kill them. It could only injure them severely.
Because these Evil Spirits were supplied with the Earth Essence Qi, they did not care whether they were injured or not. As long as they were not wiped out in an instant, they would quickly recover to their peak state.
A fierce look flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes. He suddenly sped up. The Devil Qi in his hand condensed into a black saber, and he suddenly slashed down.
"Whoosh!"
The black saber turned into a beam of black light and instantly bounced between the dozens of Evil Spirits like a laser beam. In just an instant, all the Evil Spirits suddenly stiffened, and then exploded into countless fragments that scattered in the air.
All the translucent fragments slowly floated down in the air. In just a few breaths, they all burst into flames.
The pale green Yin Fire made it seem as if it was raining fire from the sky.
Only then did the white sword gleam catch its breath. It stopped and revealed itself. Inside it was a white-haired old man holding a long spear.
"Where are the most Evil Spirits around here?" Lu Sheng did not waste time and asked directly.
"Over there … Thank you, Sect … Master Lu …" The old man recognized Lu Sheng. Before he could finish speaking, he had already disappeared in front of him.
…
After three days of wanton slaughter, all the Evil Spirits around the Prime Devil Sect's Autumn Moon County had been hunted down by Lu Sheng.
The safe zone he had cleared also allowed many of the rescued people to catch their breaths and unite. After learning that they were all saved by Lu Sheng, they all discussed going to the Prime Devil Sect to join the group.
These people who could barely survive the Evil Spirits' rampage were all absolute experts. The weakest among them was at least Five-Vein Level.
Although there were not many of them, they were all elites.
Three days later, when Lu Sheng returned to the Devil Palace, the number of experts who came to join the Prime Devil Sect had already exceeded 100.
Among them, there were not only humans, but also a considerable number of demons. There were even a few Weapon Master level experts among them. They were all experts who were temporarily passing by and were ambushed by the Evil Spirits. This greatly increased the Prime Devil Sect's ability to react to small groups of Evil Spirits' ambushes.
After dealing with the Prime Devil Sect's affairs, Lu Sheng immediately returned to the Research Temple and prepared for his next seclusion.
…
Sitting cross-legged on the Research Temple's formation, Lu Sheng finally pressed a black crystal into the inlaid hole on the ground.
"Crack."
The crystal was in place.
"Hiss …"
Streaks of blood-red light spread out along the formation's lines. They flowed in all directions like blood. Soon, they filled the entire temple.
'After adjusting and modifying the formation, I should be able to control the time limit by about 10 times. One day in Great Yin is at least 10 days in the outside world. If I'm lucky, I might be able to increase it to 50 days. That should be enough for now. 'Lu Sheng held his breath and focused his attention on the ground in the middle of the formation.
There was an oval-shaped hole there. Currently, the hole was slowly filling up with a dark red liquid.
In the middle of the red liquid, as the formation activated, a gray, eye-shaped crack slowly cracked open.
'The formation is almost at its limit. I have to hurry, or else the energy for the return trip will be depleted prematurely.' Lu Sheng glanced at some of the inlaid crystals at the edge of the formation with the corner of his eye. Those crystals were shattering into powder.
There were nine rings of crystals. Currently, three of them had already cracked.
The gray crack grew larger and longer. The fourth ring of crystals was starting to crack as well.
'That's enough!' Lu Sheng suddenly leaped forward. His body quickly turned into a black light and shot into the gray crack that was the length of a forearm.
"Pcchht!"
As soon as he entered, the crack instantly closed up. The formation was still glowing with a dark red light, but it was much dimmer than before.
Many mysterious veins appeared on the walls of the temple. A terrifying wave that could withstand a Divine Lord's attack was slowly released from the four walls.
Before Lu Sheng left, he stored part of his Origin Power into a set of Divine Weapons and embedded them into the four walls. This was to create the illusion that he was still in seclusion.
