"I'll talk! I'll talk! "Xiu 'er's pretty face was pale. She knew that she had encountered a tough opponent, and she had no choice but to admit defeat this time.
After a while, Lu Sheng slowly walked out of the alley. Xiu 'er followed behind him. The two of them walked straight toward the nearest high-class inn.
He learned from Xiu 'er that the thieving art she used was a special ability called Heaven Pilfering. This ability originated from a special sect called the Heaven Pilfering Sect.
Rather than calling this thieving art, it would be more accurate to call it an extremely unique and bizarre ability.
Lu Sheng had Xiu 'er demonstrate it twice in front of him. To his surprise, he realized that even if she used the Heaven Pilfering Art right in front of him, he would not notice it at all.
Xiu 'er made it clear that she did not actually need to do anything with this thieving art. She only needed to recite a fixed incantation, and the entire process would be completed. She could only use Heaven Pilfering three times a day, and the value of the items she stole could not exceed the quota limit set by the Heaven Pilfering Sect.
The price was that she had to offer her blood essence and hair to the Heaven Pilfering Statue every month.
To put it simply, this Heaven Pilfering Art was not an extremely rare item. It was a special skill taught directly by the Heaven Pilfering Sect.
Lu Sheng studied the Heaven Pilfering Art for a while, and he had a vague idea of what to do.
However, it was clear that his Prime Devil Sect subordinates in the Yin Capital did not send back similar information. It was clear that all sorts of evildoers were slowly revealing themselves in the Yin Capital now.
After some observation, he realized that this Heaven Pilfering Art essentially relied on Spiritual Essence. It used the flow of Spiritual Essence to naturally guide the Spiritual Essence into a cyclone, and from there, silently hook the money pouch.
There were too many people in the Yin Capital, and the Spiritual Essence was in a mess. As a result, even Lu Sheng did not have the energy to pay attention to everyone who passed by. This gave the Heaven Pilfering Art an opportunity to take advantage of.
Everyone had Spiritual Essence. The Heaven Pilfering Art merely guided people's Spiritual Essence into a natural cyclone, and used this power to steal the item it wanted to steal without anyone noticing.
Of course, the limitation was that it could only steal items without much supernatural power.
After learning about the secret of this item, Lu Sheng also learned from Xiu 'er that the Heaven Pilfering Sect possessed an even more powerful art of thievery. His interest was instantly piqued.
He was just thinking about how he could obtain information on the Weapon Grandmasters of the three Tribes. Now that he had encountered this Heaven Pilfering Sect, there might be a better way to solve this problem than his original plan of forcing his way in.
After all, there were at least two Weapon Grandmasters cultivating in seclusion nearby in the Yin Capital. He did not want to alarm the two senior Weapon Grandmasters. Right now, he did not even know how powerful a Weapon Grandmaster was. If he really went up against them, he would definitely not be a match for them.
In the guest room, Lu Sheng looked at Xiu 'er, who was staring at him in slight surprise, and said coldly, "Alright, you can leave now."
"Senior, are you really going to let me go out of kindness?" Xiu 'er asked hesitantly.
"I want to meet with the higher ups of the Heaven Stealing Sect. Can you arrange it? "Lu Sheng asked.
"Senior, could it be that you have something you want to steal?" Xiu 'er's beautiful eyes flashed, and she immediately guessed.
"You have a way?" Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow. This girl before him had delicate skin and fair flesh. It was highly likely that she was born into a superior family. It was normal for her to be related to the higher ups of the Heaven Pilfering Sect.
"As long as the price is right." The girl revealed her pearly white teeth and smiled brightly.
An hour later, Xiu 'er brought a handsome young master with a pale complexion into Lu Sheng's room.
'A girl dressed as a man? Another girl? 'A thought crossed Lu Sheng's mind.' Don't tell me that the Heaven Pilfering Sect only consists of women? '
"Senior, you're wrong. So what if they're women? What does it matter if they're men or women? "The girl who had just entered the sect carried a yellow bundle in her hand. She placed the bundle on the table after entering the room.
"May I know what you're looking for, senior? The rule of the Heaven Pilfering Sect is that the price corresponds to the value of the item we want. There's nothing in the world that we don't dare to steal. " This girl was beautiful. Although her skin was not as fair as Xiu 'er's, their facial features were somewhat similar. They were probably related by blood.
Her words were very bold. It immediately reminded Lu Sheng of a certain senior with a strange temperament …
"What's the relationship between your sect master and the Three Sacred Gates?" he suddenly asked.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room turned cold and gloomy.
The area between the brows of the girl Xiu 'er brought with her suddenly shone with a white fluorescent light. It emanated a unique and enormous pressure.
"Looks like you know the inside story of our Sacred Gate, senior …" The girl's tone was slightly cold.
"Alright, alright." A voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.
A short-haired girl dressed in a purple dress slowly pushed the door open and entered. She looked at Lu Sheng who was standing before the window with a smile on her face.
"I've sensed that there's someone down there who doesn't know any better and alerted Sect Master Lu. Fortunately, I arrived in time." The girl's smile was gentle and amiable. It was easy to let down one's guard.
Her face was not beautiful, but there was a certain friendliness to it.
"Sect Master!?"
Xiu 'er and the girl immediately exclaimed in surprise. Respectful expressions appeared on their faces. They clearly did not expect their sect master to come personally.
"You are?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes at the person.
"I'm the sect master of the Sky Pilfering Sect, under the First Sacred King of the Three Sacred Gates, Ling Xiang," the girl replied with a smile.
'First Sacred King …' Lu Sheng's heart stirred slightly. The Three Sacred Kings of the Three Sacred Gates were not an organization. Instead, they were three enormous forces in the dark. Li Shunxi was the holy son of the Third Sacred King, but he did not have much contact with the other two forces.
Theoretically speaking, the First Sacred King was the most powerful person in the Three Sacred Gates. He was also the most mysterious one.
He did not expect to encounter such a big fellow as soon as he arrived at the Yin Capital. Or rather, the Three Sacred Gates had truly begun to spread their influence in the Yin Capital.
"Do you know what I want?" Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice. The other party was not powerful. At most, she was a Weapon Master. However, there was an ethereal aura about her that made him unable to lock onto her. It was very strange.
He felt that killing this person would not be a problem, but he reckoned that it would take some effort. This woman's true body did not seem to be here.
"We have all the information you want. There's no need to sneak into the Three Clans and Three Sects to steal it, "Hu Jinxiang said with a smile. She mouthed the words' Weapon Grandmaster 'and' information 'without a sound.
"What's the price?" Lu Sheng did not believe that the other party would help him for no reason. As the First Sacred King, her strength and influence were above his own. He did not think that she would be so kind as to help him for free.
"His Majesty has been investigating a troublesome matter recently. It involves your son, Lu Ning. We hope that you can cooperate with us in secret and carry out a detailed investigation on Lu Ning," Hu Jinxiang said plainly.
"Ning 'er?" Lu Sheng was stunned. He did not expect that the other party's true target was his son.
In the eyes of outsiders, he was an expert among Divine Lords who lived up to his name. In the Great Yin where there were no Divine Lords, the power and influence of a Divine Lord was much stronger than before.
Although a few of them had fallen due to the Evil Spirits, the other Divine Lords had also saved many civilians, Noble Families, and sects.
In the absence of Weapon Grandmasters, Divine Lords were currently the most powerful person.
However, in the eyes of a Sacred King, he was not even as important as his own son?
This caused Lu Sheng to be slightly stunned.
"Can we talk further?" Hu Jinxiang's expression became slightly solemn.
Lu Sheng was silent for a moment. He waved his hand, and a large expanse of Devil Qi instantly sealed off the entire room.
Xiu 'er had never seen such might before. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. However, the purple-haired woman held her hand, and she dared not move. Both of them knew that they had almost gotten into big trouble. They were drenched in cold sweat from the fright.
"It's fine now. Are the two of them alright? "Lu Sheng looked at Xiu 'er and the purple-haired woman.
Hu Jinxiang shook her head slightly.
"They're fine."
"Pcchht!"
She moved at lightning speed, and pinched the back of Xiu 'er and the purple-haired woman's necks with precision.
The two of them moaned and fell to the ground.
"Senior, if you're interested in Xiu 'er, we can give these two sisters to you to play with. We have many subordinates like them in our sect. They've all been secretly trained, and naturally know how to serve you. "
"I'm not interested." Lu Sheng was slightly impatient. When had he ever run out of women? With a wave of his hand, countless people who wanted to offer themselves were willing to serve him.
What he truly cared about was his son, Lu Ning.
"Alright …" Hu Jinxiang nodded with a smile. "We can give you the information. The reason why we hope that you'll cooperate with our investigation of Lu Ning is because the King has discovered an uncoordinated spirit wave from your son."
"Oh?" Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
Hu Jinxiang paused for a moment, and slowly said, "To be more specific, your son, Lu Ning, is hiding a great secret. The King doesn't know what this secret is for now. However, some clues and incidents from before have inadvertently drawn our attention to our young friend, Lu Ning. "
"What clues and incidents? Can you tell me? " Lu Sheng's expression became more serious. Initially, he had only come to the Yin Capital to gather information. He did not expect to discover such a great secret. Moreover, this secret even involved his son.
"We only need your cooperation. The details are here." Hu Jinxiang produced a roll of sheepskin from her sleeve. She unfolded it and placed it on the table in front of Lu Sheng. Then, she slowly returned to her original position.
"Please take a look."
Lu Sheng glanced at her, and reached out to pick up the sheepskin.
"Improved version of Soul-Confusion Water. Medicinal efficacy increased by 30%. Material consumption decreased by 50%. Place of sale, Tree Mountain County. Improved by: Suo Fang.
"Improved version of Prismatic Soul Suppression Formation. Formation power increased by 65%. Material consumption decreased by 10%. Formation runes decreased by 30%. Overall evaluation increased to purple formation. Improved by: Suo Fang.
"Basic formulation method, Mound Attraction Formula. Technique improved by 70%. Efficiency increased by 90%. It's almost a new formulation method for medicine.
Improved by: Zhong Ruhuo. "
There were also several powerful improvements in formations, runes, medicine, and other fields. Even if Lu Sheng was only at an average level, he could roughly see the terrifying difficulty of these improvements.
These were all powerful and epochal improvements. At the end of the sheepskin, there was a clear note: "Through analysis of the spirit fluctuations, the spirits of Suo Fang, Zhong Ruhuo, and Lu Ning are more than 80% similar. They are suspected to be the same person. "
"Are you saying that my son, Lu Ning, has come up with so many improvements in such a short period of time? Moreover, each of them is a epoch-making change?" Lu Sheng frowned deeply.
"There's one more thing to correct. These improvements were completed in a very short time in different counties. This is also something we can't understand. But the subsequent series of evidence shows that both Zhong Ruhuo and Suo Fang are very likely to be Lu Ning in disguise. Height, body shape, and appearance can all be faked, but the spirit cannot be faked. Although the other party's spirit has been disguised, it can't hide from our king's keen eyes, "Hu Jinxiang said seriously.
Lu Sheng pondered for a moment and raised his head.
"How do you want me to cooperate?"
