After leaving the Devil Palace, Lu Sheng surveyed his surroundings again. With his current speed, he only needed the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to patrol Autumn Moon County. It only took him half a day to determine the threat level of the Evil Spirits in the entire Nine Bright Province.
With his spirit, he could travel thousands of kilometers in an instant. Evil Spirits were like fireflies in the night. He did not need to sense them in detail. He could determine their location and number with a rough and blurry sense.
After scanning the entire Nine Bright Province, Lu Sheng still had no idea how powerful a Weapon Grandmaster was. After searching for a long time to no avail, he decided to make a trip to the Yin Capital himself.
The Yin Capital was the most important place among the Three Sects and Three Families. Apart from the two Weapon Grandmasters' old lair, the headquarters of the Three Families and Three Sects were also located near the Yin Capital.
Lu Sheng's goal was to head to the Yuanguang Family and the other great families to obtain information about the Weapon Grandmasters.
The Nine Bright Province's Autumn Moon County was more than 900,000 kilometers away from the Yin Capital. However, with Lu Sheng traveling at full speed, it only took him a day to arrive at the border.
…
The Yin Capital's Underworld Illumination Defense Circle. Cong Shan Defense Line.
The towering and majestic city walls were like long black snakes that stretched across the undulating mountains.
The city walls were black and covered in ferocious-looking spikes. Golden runes would shine at regular intervals. Teams of patrolling cultivators would occasionally fly past in the sky.
Below the city walls, at the county capital's city gate, two teams of tall and big guards in black armor and wielding sharp spears were eyeing the passersby. They were unusually vigilant.
Teams of caravans, ox-carts, and farmers entered and left the city gate in an endless stream.
"Halt! Where did you come from? " A team of guards stopped a few ox-carts. The leader of the team asked sternly. He quickly scanned the ox-cart driver with a sharp gaze.
The ox-cart driver was a young man in his prime. He wore a yellow-black cloth shirt with patches on it. He had a wooden face and a square face. His eyes were not very lively either.
"Sir, we came from the direction of Broken Mountain County. We've been checked many times along the way."
"Where's the travel pass?" The guard waved his hand.
The man hurriedly took out a light yellow parchment from his bosom and handed it to the guard.
Behind the convoy, Lu Sheng, who was wrapped in a black robe, walked at the very back with a calm gaze. Unlike the carriage driver, when he passed through the city gate, his robe was embroidered with the Thousand Sun Sect's insignia. The guards all looked at him with respect and let him in without saying anything.
After passing through the city gate, there was a flat green field with rolling waves of wheat.
Winter had passed, and so had the calamity of the evil spirits. The surviving civilians had begun to sow seeds and farm again.
Lu Sheng had no intention of disturbing the local organizations. On this trip, he would definitely not be able to obtain information on a Weapon Grandmaster through normal means. Unless he was willing to reveal his Weapon Grandmaster strength, that would be too shocking.
It should be known that it had only been thirty years since his rise to power. In thirty years, he had broken through from a normal human to a Weapon Grandmaster. This was something that no one had ever done before, and no one would be able to do in the future. In fact, it was highly likely that the great beings in the World of Pain would be alerted and investigate.
Therefore, Lu Sheng decided that unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not completely reveal his strength.
It was best to use a covert method to search for information on this trip.
With a normal person's speed, Lu Sheng passed through large fields and farmlands. Along the way, he observed the most prosperous and powerful capital of the Great Yin with his naked eye.
After passing through the fields, he arrived at the second ring of defense formed by a ring of city towers.
The grayish-white city towers were like tall towers. Some kind of gray, wing-like light floated around them. It was clear that they had some unknown function.
When he passed by this place, Lu Sheng tried to scan the city towers with his spirit, but found that these buildings all had the ability to block out spirit scanning.
"Moo!"
On the right side of the main road, there was a wide area built like a horse farm. When Lu Sheng passed by, he saw many humans and demons trying their best to pull a huge one-eyed black bull that was more than five meters tall.
The runic chains with runes on them tried to wrap around the black yak, but it immediately broke free and slid away.
Lu Sheng stopped in his tracks and took a few glances at it.
"Another Black-Eyed Bull. What's the Jing Family buying such wild beasts for recently?" Many people stopped to watch from the side of the road like Lu Sheng.
Some of them were talking in low voices. Although they were speaking through Secret Voice Transmission, to Lu Sheng's incredibly powerful spirit, Secret Voice Transmission at this distance was almost the same as a loudspeaker shouting in his ear.
"I heard they're going to perform a blood sacrifice or something. Last time, the Jing Family's external director bought 500 kilograms of Black Chen Fruit. Regardless of whether it's good or bad, the few big orchards outside the city all made a fortune. "
"Are they still going to buy Black Chen Fruit now? I'll go buy some later. "
"What they want now is something else …"
Lu Sheng glanced at the Black-Eyed Bull. He had never seen such a creature before. Judging from its pure brute force, it was about Four or Five Veins. For a normal person, it was already very powerful.
After a slight pause, he continued forward and increased his speed. Before the sun set, he finally entered the main city area of the Yin Capital.
It was as if the entire Yin Capital had been carved out with a regular ruler, precisely measuring each and every one of them.
Every residential house was no more than ten meters tall. Every tower was of the same style. Every pavilion had a standard square roof. There was no pattern at all.
Lu Sheng blended into the huge crowd and walked into the market at the front of the Yin Capital. He passed through a grayish-white memorial arch and saw shops selling relics, antiques, and burial items on both sides.
The people here did not show any fear brought about by the Evil Spirits. It was as if everything was still in a period of peace.
Amidst the noisy chatter, they were either discussing the delicious new restaurants that had recently opened or gossiping about the strange rumors that were circulating in the streets. Or the ladies of some brothel were holding a flower market dance or something.
For a moment, Lu Sheng felt as if he had returned to ancient China during the era of Earth. If it were not for the strange demons that passed by him from time to time, he might have really thought that he had returned to Earth and traveled through time.
"Bam."
Suddenly, a petite body knocked into Lu Sheng's right shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose!" A gentle and beautiful girl quickly apologized in panic.
The girl wore a pure light green dress. The grayish-black ribbon around her waist delicately outlined her slender waist. Her long black hair draped over her shoulders. Her cherry lips were red, and her skin was snow-white. She looked like a young lady from an upper-class family.
"It's alright. Just be more careful next time." Lu Sheng nodded slightly.
The girl smiled embarrassedly. She bowed slightly at Lu Sheng and quickly walked past him.
She took small steps along the street and quickly ran into a small alley. There were already three young women in gray clothes with the word "Bee" embroidered on their backs waiting for her. Two of them were holding cigarettes and taking big puffs of smoke.
"How was it, Xiu 'er?" A woman who stood near the alley quickly asked softly. She took a deep puff from the cigarette in her hand, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it to extinguish it.
"How else could it be? Is there anything I can't do? " The girl in the green dress raised her head slightly and said with a smile, "Got it. That guy's a foreigner. He looked around like a country bumpkin the moment he entered the city. Also, he doesn't look like he's in need of money. He's just a little ignorant. He didn't know where to look when I casually hooked his finger. Today, I'll give him my first time. "
She reached into her bulging bosom and pulled out a small black pouch.
She shook the pouch lightly. Immediately, a series of crisp sounds came from inside.
"Sounds like a lot."
"Open it. This is our third order today. I didn't expect to run into such a fat sheep."
"I'm guessing there's seven to eight hundred!"
Xiu 'er's lips curled into a smug smile. She hooked the pouch with her slender hand and shook it lightly. Immediately, the pouch's string was untied.
Inside the pouch were pieces of dazzling golden leaves.
"What a haul!" Xiu 'er's pretty face was stunned. Then, she was overjoyed.
"Little fella, is money very important to you?" Suddenly, a deep and thick voice came from behind her.
Xiu 'er's pretty face immediately froze. Before the smile on her face could fade, she saw her good friends before her all stiffen. Their faces slowly turned pale, and beads of sweat began to appear on their foreheads and temples.
Lu Sheng stood at the entrance of the alley. He quietly watched the girls before him. An inexplicable huge pressure pressed down on the women present.
This was especially so for Xiu 'er. She felt her heartbeat instantly quicken, and she broke out in cold sweat.
Lu Sheng cared about her a lot. He had just arrived at the Yin Capital, and he was already greeted with a pleasant surprise. A little girl was actually able to get close to him without him noticing, bump into his body, and even steal his purse.
He did not go easy on her. Instead, his pouch was truly stolen.
She did not rely on techniques. Instead, she relied on some sort of special ability. It was a mysterious ability that seemed to be able to go unnoticed.
'As expected of the Yin Capital. It's full of hidden talents. I didn't expect someone to be able to steal from me.' Lu Sheng stared at Xiu 'er's back with mixed emotions.
"Sir … Sir … It's just a small pouch. Xiu 'er will return it to you. Please be magnanimous …" Xiu' er slowly turned around. There was a pitiful look in her beautiful eyes.
"I can give you that little bit of money," Lu Sheng interrupted her. "Tell me, how did you steal from me?"
Although he did not pay close attention, someone who could steal his pouch was definitely not an ordinary person.
On his way into the Yin Capital, he had encountered no less than a dozen pickpockets, but he had easily defeated the third hand of each of them.
Xiu 'er, the girl before him, was the only one he did not notice.
"Uh … Can I not tell you? Big brother, Xiu 'er actually has her own difficulties … "The girl had a pitiful look on her face.
"Of course. It's up to you whether you want to tell me or not," Lu Sheng said with a nod. "However … since you've taken my money, you'll have to pay the corresponding price."
"What price?!" Xiu 'er had a bad feeling about this.
"For example, like this." Lu Sheng slowly extended his index finger.
"Boom!"
In an instant, several great invisible forces grabbed the other girls in the alley and slammed them against the wall behind them.
The sound of bones breaking rose and fell. The girls' eyes rolled back, and they vomited blood before they fainted.
"No!" Xiu 'er hastily screamed. However, it was too late. One of the girls was already bleeding profusely. She was clearly on the verge of death.
