With some regret, Lu Sheng thought about it and decided not to go back.
Based on his estimation of the mastermind, he would not let it go so easily.
As he walked along the alley and was about to reach home, Lu Sheng saw Du Xia leaning against the staircase of the residential building. She was texting on her pink phone.
Seeing him, Du Xia quickly put down her phone.
"You're back? Brother. "
"Yeah. Why are you standing outside?" Lu Sheng nodded.
"To get some fresh air." Du Xia smiled naturally. She would not tell him that she had been standing there for more than half an hour to ensure his safety.
"Come in early." Lu Sheng rubbed her hair.
"Okay." Du Xia nodded. She was a very calm person. Even when she smiled, it was a very faint smile. People who did not understand her would find her unapproachable and difficult to get along with from afar.
But she just did not like to talk, be in the limelight, and avoid trouble.
After entering the elevator, Lu Sheng looked in Du Xia's direction one last time.
He saw her pick up her phone. She seemed to be answering a call.
Lu Sheng looked at her for a while. From her expression, he was sure that she did not have any problems. Then, he walked into the living room.
His father, Du Xuning, sat at the dining table tiredly, flipping through a document.
His mother, Li Can, was cooking in the kitchen.
The aroma of fried eggs wafted out and filled the whole living room.
Lu Sheng found a chair and sat down. The pain brought about by Du Qiu's death was still lingering in the hearts of his family.
"How are your studies? Are you affected? "Du Xuning put down the document and looked at Lu Sheng, asking in a deep voice.
"I'm fine." Lu Sheng had long given up on studying. The psychological guidance technique only required him to go to school once a week to strengthen the suggestion technique.
As for the rest, with the help of the principal and teachers, it was not a problem.
"Take care of your sister. She's been a bit … abnormal lately." Du Xuning was a boss who managed dozens of people. He was more sensitive.
"Don't worry." Lu Sheng nodded calmly.
After dinner, Du Xia was the first to put down her bowl. She said that she was going to her classmate's house to play and that she would be back in the evening. She then went out on her own.
But even if she went out, Lu Sheng could still sense a strong aura hiding nearby. It should be the people Du Xia had arranged to protect them.
It seemed that she still had some strength left.
Lu Sheng thought about it and decided not to follow. He only spread out his Divine Soul to the surroundings as a precaution.
In the next few days, Lu Sheng focused on stabilizing his cultivation. At the same time, he contacted Andes and asked him to purchase all kinds of antiques with special legends from all over the world.
Andes had a huge corporation with billions of assets under his command. Buying some antiques was nothing.
In just a few days, he had obtained more than ten different kinds of antiques.
Lu Sheng found a time to meet up with Andes. Some of the antiques he collected had Mental Energy, but they were not much. They were only a few dozen or a hundred points.
Adding them all up, Lu Sheng had only absorbed a little more than a thousand points. With his current tier, this was like trying to put out a burning cart of firewood with a cup of water.
He was thinking of finding a time to leave quickly and test the strength of the Geshas. He still had a chance while Du Xia was secretly protecting his family.
However, a new problem quickly approached him.
On his way home from the dojo, Lu Sheng carried his school bag. The sunlight cast a long shadow on the ground. The shadow swayed as he walked.
As usual, Lu Sheng walked along the alley. He only had to make a turn and walk through a small patch of barren grass to reach the back of his house.
However, when he was about to reach the turn.
"Creak."
The door of a rented apartment on the right suddenly opened. A pale, freckled young man walked out slowly.
The young man wore gray sportswear. His shoes were clean and tidy as if they were brand new. It seemed like he had just put them on from the shelf.
When he saw that Lu Sheng had noticed him, the young man grinned. He reached into his pocket as if he wanted to take something out.
Lu Sheng smiled at him in a friendly manner and walked past him.
He could sense the terrifying stench of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood emanating from the young man. He wondered how many people this young man had killed to accumulate such a stench of blood.
Apart from that, Lu Sheng could also clearly sense the killing intent and contempt in the young man's eyes. It was obvious that the young man was targeting him.
'Is he here to kill me again?' Lu Sheng was slightly agitated. He pretended to be unaware and walked toward the turn with his back to the young man.
One step. Two steps.
Nothing happened.
Three steps. Four steps.
Still nothing.
Lu Sheng could not help but look back. The young man was still standing in front of the door with a smile on his face. He was holding something in his hand, and his posture was the same as before. He did not move at all.
'He's not here for me?' Lu Sheng was slightly puzzled. However, he still turned around and headed home.
The young man watched as his target disappeared into the turn. He wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
'I say, let me go? My brother won't give you any trouble. 'He looked back into the house helplessly.
Du Xia swung her shiny silver scimitar casually. The blade kept slicing through the air with a whistling sound.
A circle of dark golden flames danced slowly around her like a living creature.
"You should've known the consequences from the first moment you came here," Du Xia said calmly. "You knew the consequences, but you still came. In other words, you're sure that even if I catch you, I'll let you go because of your brother. That's why you're so reckless. "
The young man laughed and cried. His gaze was a little stiff.
"I was just hoping for luck. I was wrong this time. I can compensate you."
"Compensate? Compensate my brother? Or a new pair of parents? "Du Xia had a mocking expression on her face.
"The Imperial Phoenix has already announced that they'll send people to kill you. The Misty Erosion is also being held up by the north. You can only deal with them alone." The young man felt that something was wrong. He quickly explained and tried to persuade Du Xia to give up.
"No matter how powerful you are, can you guarantee that you'll be able to protect your brother and parents when facing so many elites of the same rank? If you let me go, my brother will owe you a favor. When the time comes, you can … "
"Splat."
The scimitar in Du Xia's hand stabbed into the young man's chest. Then, she pulled it out.
"You …!" The young man staggered a few steps back. The wound on his chest shone with a blinding white light. It was as if there were no flesh or organs in his body, but pure white light.
Du Xia did not even look at him. With her abilities, she could kill an ordinary Gesha in less than two moves.
She had only restrained the young man earlier because she was wary of his brother. That was why she was hesitant.
Du Xia watched as the young man's body fell to the ground. His body gradually burned and turned into white ashes. The scimitar in Du Xia's hand suddenly turned into golden flames and dissipated. The flames around her also quickly dissipated.
"Little Light?"
"Here …" In a corner, a golden-haired girl covered in blood raised her hand and answered.
"Big Sister, if you were any later, you'd have to collect my corpse."
"You've worked hard." A hint of guilt flashed in Du Xia's eyes. She walked toward the girl who was half-sitting on the ground.
"Big Sister … There are more and more people …" the golden-haired girl said helplessly. "I've just dealt with two, and I ran into this guy. Although White Silk Snake isn't very powerful, I didn't have the time to rest and recuperate. He attacked me …"
"I know."
Du Xia nodded.
During this period of time, she had been investigating all over the place. However, she increasingly felt as if an extremely vast black net was closing in on her without a trace.
Most importantly, the mastermind behind the scenes seemed to be aware of many of her plans. From there, he made arrangements to deal with her.
Du Xia felt that her success in intercepting White Silk Snake today was a little too smooth. She even felt that this was an opportunity that the other party had purposely given her.
Her younger brother's death had thrown her into disarray recently. She had been investigating all over the place without the slightest scruple, provoking others. The pressure on her increased.
The organization was also urgently clashing with a huge organization in the north.
Chief Zhou Quanwu did not have the time to help her. This matter concerned the rise and fall of the organization. Zhou Quanwu could only leave a dozen or so people for her to command.
…
"It's gone again …" Lu Sheng exhaled deeply.
A powerful energy aura had erupted in an instant just now. Then, the young man's aura vanished.
'He must be Du Xia's subordinate. Or perhaps, she did it herself.'
Based on the energy explosion he sensed earlier, Lu Sheng made a rough estimation. The young man was roughly at the level of a Weapon Master.
In a city, a power of this level was indeed a great threat. If it exploded, it could instantly cause thousands to tens of thousands of casualties.
Lu Sheng pondered. However, it was clear that the energy aura just now was withdrawn immediately. The young man was able to control it with ease. It was clear that this was not the young man's full power. However, he did not know how much power he had.
'Twice. They're really not giving me any chances … Looks like I'll have to look for an opportunity myself.' Lu Sheng stroked his chin. He felt that he could not just sit around and wait for death.
He had to understand the Geshas' background as soon as possible and understand the characteristics of this power.
The Star Chaser, a Gesha's dependent, had the special ability of short-distance teleportation. In that case, the Geshas themselves might not be so simple. Perhaps if he ate them … no, killed them, he would earn some Mental Energy.
'Looks like I'll have to take the initiative and attack …'
In the next few days, Lu Sheng encountered a few more assassination attempts. However, just as he was about to make his move, the assassins mysteriously disappeared.
Du Xia's organization was indeed powerful.
After many fruitless attempts, Lu Sheng finally could not hold it in any longer. He immediately looked for Andes to search for the Geshas and ascertain their whereabouts.
Since he could not deal with his younger sister's organization, he would deal with an organization that was hostile to her.
From Andes's information, Lu Sheng learned that there were three major organizations in the world. These organizations were spread across various countries.
The one in the federation was called the Imperial Phoenix.
There were also two other major organizations abroad. One was called the Star Sand, and the other was called the Earth Star Pillar.
Apart from these organizations, there were other mysterious organizations of various sizes. They were all formed by the Geshas themselves. Some were weak, and some were strong.
Andes also explained that another reason he was able to remain unscathed was that his younger sister's son was a Gesha. Moreover, he was a member of the Star Sand.
As for the other organizations in the federation apart from the Imperial Phoenix, Andes did not know much about them.
"So, which of these organizations of various sizes are located in Flower Tree City? Can you find them? "Lu Sheng asked directly over the phone.
"That's easy. There's only one organization in the entire Flower Tree City called the Misty Erosion. Their leader is the Yellow Springs Witch. She's a top terrorist with a powerful reputation in the international arena, "Andes replied through the encrypted satellite phone.
"Misty Erosion? The Yellow Springs Witch? "Lu Sheng was stunned. There was only one organization that surprised him.
"There's a lot of information about the Yellow Springs Witch here. Do you need it?" After being guided by the psychological guidance art, Andes told Lu Sheng everything he knew without holding anything back.
"Sure. Send it to my phone," Lu Sheng answered with certainty.
He leaned against the railing on the roof. He spread his spirit and monitored all living beings around him. This was to prevent his phone from being leaked.
Soon, an email was sent to his mobile phone.
