After dealing with all his troubles, Lu Sheng picked up Tu Jin and De Yun and shot toward the ends of the skies. He did not conceal himself along the way. He killed people and destroyed houses.
Before the city guards could react and the Great City Barrier Formation was activated, Lu Sheng broke out of the city and fled.
The Ling Family suffered great losses. The most powerful person in the family, the Great Elder, was gravely injured because his ultimate move and life artifact were destroyed. The second faction, Ling Sicheng's faction, was also gravely injured. They could not control the situation.
Fortunately, Second Elder Ling Chengche woke up the next day and managed to hold on.
However, no matter how hard Ling Chengche tried, the situation was set. This enormous family with a peak Divine Lord quickly began to decline.
The nature of this case was terrible. In the process of Lu Sheng breaking out of Ring Peak City, more than six thousand people were injured or killed. The Ling Family's core guards were all lost.
More than a hundred city guards were killed while trying to stop them. Hundreds of innocent bystanders were injured or killed.
The impact was terrible.
Ring Peak City Lord Zhangsun He announced an emergency mobilization of the Elemental Snow Army to capture Physician Lu Yue.
The entire Third Division was shaken. Urgent messages were sent to Fourth Division and Second Division to capture Lu Sheng.
…
Fourth Division, Net Dragon Horn.
Amidst the dense forest, the winding grayish-white road was like a soft ribbon that lay flat in the undulating forest.
On the driveway, a strange black oval-shaped carriage was moving steadily and uniformly toward a corner of the Net Dragon Horn.
Inside the carriage.
Lu Sheng was wrapped in a thick black cloak that covered his entire body except for his eyes. He sat in front of a wooden table and sipped a cup of hot tea.
Tu Jin sat opposite him while De Yun sat beside him. The three of them did not speak.
After a long while, Tu Jin spoke slowly, "You … have really decided to leave?"
When De Yun heard this, he looked at Lu Sheng with slight nervousness. He was waiting for his answer.
Lu Sheng fell silent.
"Lu Yue will never forget the care you've given me, Teacher. Apart from bringing trouble to Tu Tie, there's no other outcome for me now. That's why leaving is the best choice. "
Tu Jin opened his mouth but did not know what to say. After a long while, he could only remain silent.
"But have you forgotten about Tao Wu?!" De Yun could not help but speak. "You two are together every night! Tao Wu, I'm afraid there's no one more suitable than you! "
Lu Sheng almost spat out his tea.
He was just trying to lose weight, and there was nothing going on between the two of them, okay?!
"Go back and ask Lao Ai yourself. There's really nothing going on between us," Lu Sheng explained helplessly.
"How many moles on the left of her buttocks?"
"One."
Only after Lu Sheng answered did he think about it in detail. It wasn't because De Yun was trying to get information out of him, but he couldn't figure out how De Yun knew about this secret …
"De Yun" did with De Yun. De Yun did not realize what he had said. He did not pay any attention to Tu Jin, whose gaze was getting stranger and stranger.
"I'm just helping her lose weight. Don't worry, I didn't see any of the important parts." Lu Sheng comforted him gently.
"As if I'd believe you!" De Yun's face flushed red. He wanted to fight Lu Sheng, but he was afraid that he would lose face if he was killed instantly. He could only sit in his original position and gasp for breath.
"You like her, right?" Lu Sheng suddenly asked.
De Yun's body stiffened, and he was immediately rendered speechless.
Speaking of which, after Lu Sheng's several weight-loss surgeries, Lao Ai had been reborn and had transformed into a standard chubby little beauty.
Especially after Lu Sheng helped her remove the excess wrinkles, her skin became unusually smooth and tight. No one could tell that she used to be a terrifyingly fat girl.
"Alright, I understand." Lu Sheng nodded and looked at Tu Jin.
"Teacher, I'm relieved that De Yun is with Bi An."
Tu Jin nodded solemnly. He had thought of this in the beginning as well. Now, it seemed like it was not wishful thinking.
"Little Yue, actually, I've been wanting to ask you a question." Tu Jin hesitated. He seemed to be at a loss for words.
Lu Sheng knew what he wanted to ask. He smiled and spoke first.
"Back at the Ling Family, I was indeed using the spirit-prompting threads of the Tu Style Healing Art." Lu Sheng appeared to be reminiscing.
"In truth, I didn't choose any other path in the beginning because I was determined to follow the Tu Style Healing Art to the end. That's because I realized at that time that my talent in healing arts was simply unheard of. "
He shook his head slightly. He seemed emotional.
Tu Jin and De Yun nodded slightly as well. To be able to push the Tu Style Healing Art to a level that even they could not comprehend in such a short time, this talent was truly unheard of.
Lu Sheng continued, "Hence, from then on, I decided to follow the path of healing arts. Then, I unintentionally discovered that my cultivation base had already surpassed De Yun's. However, due to the rapid improvement, I felt a little light-headed. Hence, I secretly observed you, Teacher. To my surprise, I discovered that I've surpassed you as well. Now, I'm even more panicked. It took me a long time to get used to this situation. "
"I'd like to know, if I keep cultivating our Tu Style Healing Art, will I really be able to attain the highest realm, Etherealization?" Tu Jin could not help but ask.
"Yes." Lu Sheng nodded solemnly. "As long as you work hard."
Tu Jin looked at Lu Sheng. He was stunned. Then, he seemed to understand something. A smile of understanding and relief appeared on his face.
He had worked hard for most of his life. How could he not understand the deeper meaning behind Lu Sheng's words?
This simple sentence could be translated as, "As long as you're talented enough, Etherealization is not a dream!"
However, only the terrifyingly talented Lu Sheng had the right to say, "As long as you work hard".
Although he had given up hope, Tu Jin understood that his Tu Style Healing Art was still a righteous path. He could reach the peak.
Lu Sheng understood Tu Jin's meaning as well. Apart from De Yun, who truly believed that he could succeed as long as he worked hard, both of them understood the true meaning behind Tu Jin's words.
Lu Sheng said no more. He merely looked at De Yun and sighed. He extended his hand and patted De Yun's shoulder.
At his level, he had seen through most of the power systems in the world.
Almost all systems, regardless of their starting point, would eventually reach the level of tracing the origin and essence of power.
For example, the golden spirit-prompting threads, Etherealization, and purifying power were the true origin of the spirit-prompting threads' power.
This power realm was fully displayed under the enhancement of the Blood Heart.
After attaining the origin and understanding and mastering the essence, one would be at the so-called false Weapon Grandmaster level.
Under this premise, if one did not understand the origin of the power, no matter how much he increased his power, he could only reach the Divine Lord's limit.
This was the absolute limit.
Pure quantitative change triggering qualitative change was not applicable here.
Simply put, if a powerhouse did not understand the origin's essence, no matter how much power he accumulated, he could only reach the peak of the Divine Lord level. He could not break through to the false Weapon Grandmaster level.
After understanding the origin's essence and completely mastering it, only then would he be qualified to open the door in his heart. Becoming a Weapon Grandmaster.
This was the sublimation of life.
From this trip to the Ling Family, Lu Sheng understood this key point. This was especially true since the Tu Style Healing Art had skyrocketed. After leveling up a few hundred times, his power had accumulated to an unbearable level.
However, without the Blood Heart to forcefully level up, he could forget about breaking through the Weapon Raising tier and becoming a Weapon Grandmaster since he had yet to understand the origin's essence.
"I'll work hard! I'll catch up to you sooner or later! "De Yun said seriously. He did not seem to be joking.
Lu Sheng said nothing.
The strange black horse with short wings under its ribs pulled the carriage without stopping. That afternoon, it finally arrived at the Tu Style Courtyard.
The Fourth Ward's patrol team had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time.
They were here for the Third Ward's arrest warrant. However, only Tu Jin and De Yun alighted from the carriage. There was no third person.
Lu Sheng had already gotten off the carriage halfway. He headed to the underground cavern alone.
He was already planning to head to the main city and join the faction of Libra City's governor.
If he was alone, he might not be able to guarantee his safety when he arrived in the outside world.
However, things would be different if he joined a major faction. The resources and manpower that a major faction could gather were far beyond what the Prime Devil Sect could compare to.
Lu Sheng did not regret his outburst in the Ling Family. He felt that he had reached his limit. The violent Devil Qi of the Eight-Headed Devil Art within his body was already tumbling violently.
Although Yin Fire's origin had the word 'Yin' in it, it was still fire. Hence, he had always had a bad temper.
Moreover, when he was still a mortal, Lu Sheng was already hot-tempered. He wielded his saber and dared to fight ghosts.
Now, he was being threatened and provoked again and again.
Hence, he exploded. If he did not retain his last shred of rationality and did not kill Ling Sicheng and Ling Chengche, the entire Ling Family would have been annihilated on that very day.
It was not like a Divine Lord's family had never been annihilated before.
Moreover, the power system of the Divine Lords here was different from that of the Yellow Springs Planet. They were not as difficult to deal with as those on the Yellow Springs Planet.
The Divine Lords here did not have powerful regenerative powers. A single slap was all that mattered. On the Yellow Springs Planet, Lu Sheng had to be prepared to let them escape at any time.
Of course, he could avoid the death penalty, but he could not escape punishment. Ling Chengche was fine, but Ling Sicheng was crippled. Since he dared to threaten him, Lu Sheng would not show any mercy.
After leaving Tu Jin, Lu Sheng headed to the underground cavern. He collected the resources and information he had accumulated and threw them into the Sea-overturning Orb for now. Then, he burned the entire cavern and turned to head to the main city.
Although it was a pity that he had to connect the various channels of collecting money for chronic diseases here, he could not delay or hesitate now that an accident had happened. He had to give up what he had to, and cut off what he had to.
Lu Sheng disguised himself as an ordinary wanderer and went to Net Dragon City. He saw his wanted poster at the city gates.
The ruling faction in Ward Four had clearly made their move. However, they did not do so forcefully. Clearly, they did not want to offend or force a Weapon Grandmaster. The portrait was unbelievably handsome. It was a completely different person from him …
He did not stop along the way. He safely passed through many Transportation Formations. On the third day after leaving Net Dragon Horn Fourth Ward, Lu Sheng entered the main city again.
The endless yellow buildings were like sculptures carved from solidified yellow sand. The entire main city was filled with traces of ancient history. A heavy and profound aura flowed slowly through the streets and alleys.
Lu Sheng searched for a while. Soon, he found an inconspicuous Ode Tower in the northwest corner of the main city.
