"What is this place?" Lu Sheng quickly calmed himself down.
He had been in the Zhao Family's residence just a second ago. Now, he had abruptly entered this garden. Other than the members of the Zhao Family, no one else could have tricked him.
Moreover, he was currently the main force in purifying Zhao Luoying's contaminants. Even if the Zhao Family had any ulterior motives, they would not attack him directly.
Hence, he was very calm.
Zhao Shengying blinked and slowly stood up.
"Master Lu … weren't you … going to … tailor a cultivation method for me?" Her gaze was blank. Her movements were stiff and powerless, as if she was a walking corpse.
However, Lu Sheng could clearly sense a terrifying and powerful aura that he had never seen before in her body. It was twisting and spinning. It was as if it could break free from Zhao Shengying's body at any moment.
He was merely standing before her, but he could already sense a mysterious aura of decay. It was madly attacking his body like a worm.
His body, which had always been indestructible, felt a piercing pain from this attack.
"Miss Cousin, if this is an illusion, please open it. I'm just a doctor without the strength to even truss up a chicken. I'm not good at actual combat. Please forgive me," Lu Sheng pleaded with a serious expression as he lowered his head slightly.
"Didn't you … come in … to find me?" Zhao Shengying replied in a stutter. She stared at Lu Sheng and let out a faint mocking laugh.
"Hehehe … your power … is very interesting." She seemed to have not spoken for a long time. After speaking for a while, she gradually got used to it. Her speech was much smoother now.
"Then, are you really still Miss Shengying?" Lu Sheng asked with a slightly stern expression.
"Me?" Zhao Shengying raised her hand. Countless red flesh grew on the back of her hand. Soon, the back of her hand was swollen.
"Have you heard of an original core?" She licked the back of her swollen hand. Her barbed tongue immediately licked off the flesh. She chewed and ate it.
The flesh grew out in a frenzy. She licked it into her mouth and swallowed it. It looked like red sand.
"Original core?" Lu Sheng frowned. He had never heard of this term.
"I am the child of the original core, the tinder of Undying City. The Anomalies you've heard of are the products that survived after being contaminated by our aura, "'Zhao Shengying' explained with a smile.
"This is my Heart Image World, the Doomsday Garden. If you're interested, feel free to wander around. But now, I still want to ask you the previous question. Can you help me customize a health cultivation method to enhance my charm? "
"Is this what you need?" Lu Sheng asked.
"This is what my other self needs." The corners of "Zhao Shengying's" lips curled up into a strange smile.
"Believe me, follow me, obey me, and I will grant you everything. Let your heart fall into eternal bliss … "
Chi!
Lu Sheng's vision blurred. He snapped back to his senses. He was still sitting across Zhao Shengying. Aunt Mei was staring at him nervously to his right.
More than ten tyrannical gazes were fixed on him. These guards and bodyguards were also a little impatient.
Lu Sheng finally snapped back to his senses. He had been taken away by the Heart Image World right under the noses of so many people across from him. Then, he was instantly brought back.
There were so many people here, yet none of them noticed.
'Impressive …' Lu Sheng had just improved his strength. He thought that he was a top-notch character now. He did not expect to be taught a lesson so soon.
'The tinder of Undying City, the child of the original core …' Lu Sheng committed these two names to memory. He had a feeling that the clues were hidden in these two names.
What were the Anomalies? How were they formed? How did they come to be? Why were they staying where they were? What was their purpose?
Lu Sheng had thought about these questions a long time ago. However, he could not figure out the reason.
Why didn't they die? Why did they act so strangely?
By the looks of it, Zhao Shengying and this Aunt Mei were still unaware of the existence of the child of the original core.
Lu Sheng slowly retracted his finger.
He could not find out anything at all. His spirit-prompting threads were devoured by some vague and peculiar power the moment they entered. He did not have time to inspect his surroundings.
He finally understood that perhaps this was the truth behind Zhao Shengying's so-called Omniscient Lord.
"How is it, Master Lu?" Master Lu? "Zhao Shengying looked at him expectantly. Aunt Mei, who was at the side, also looked at him with a hint of hope.
Lu Sheng gave it some thought. Eventually, he shook his head helplessly.
"The young lady's physique is astonishing. I'm helpless …"
Zhao Shengying immediately wore a disappointed expression.
"However, it's not as if there's no way." Lu Sheng's tone changed. He took a 180-degree turn.
…
In the universe, at the spot where the Cloud Sky Pavilion exploded and disappeared, a large number of planet wreckage condensed into cloud-like floating objects. They drifted slowly in this space.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a mysterious gravitational force pulling on these floating objects, forcing them to gather together and form a small nebula.
"Hiss!"
In an instant, a gray rift suddenly tore open in the middle of one of the floating objects.
It was as if a huge eye had opened in the void. From the gray rift that was 100 meters long, a huge figure slowly peeked its head out.
This figure was illuminated by the light of the distant star. Its entire body was slowly revealed.
It was a huge giant with a pair of misty, colorful wings of light on its back.
The giant had no hair. In the center of its smooth scalp, there was a huge, complicated triangular pattern.
"Is this the place? This is where Zhuang Jiu died? "The giant's voice was deep. It slowly reverberated in all directions.
"Yes, esteemed Devil King of the Third Heaven. All of Lord Zhuang Jiu's clones and true forms were reduced to ashes at the same time. My initial guess is that he was struck by a Tracing Attack. Moreover, it happened in an instant. He didn't even have the time to use his life-saving item before he was completely destroyed. Not a single trace of his spirit was left behind. " A few blurry black figures appeared in the void. Their upper bodies were human, and they wore thick black cloaks. Their lower bodies were long black whiskers that resembled snakes. The whiskers slowly twisted and turned in the universe. They seemed to be following some profound and mysterious trajectory.
The giant narrowed its eyes. "So, there's nothing you can do but inform me?"
"We don't have the right to command you. This is an order personally given by the Ghost Borneo King, "the black figures hastily explained.
The Ghost Borneo King was the First Heavenly Devil King of the Ghost Borneo World. At the same time, he was also the master of a world.
The giant knew that since the black figures before him had made a move, it meant that the first person must have given the order.
Hence, although he was slightly displeased, he still bit his finger obediently. Two misty halos that resembled colorful cicada wings suddenly flew out from behind him.
The colorful light gently hovered in front of the giant. He pressed his bitten finger into the colorful light.
"Space-time Mark, activate!"
The giant let out a low roar, and suddenly, the colorful light exploded.
The scenes from before the explosion of the Cloud Sky Pavilion flashed before everyone's eyes.
The scenes from before the explosion of the Cloud Sky Pavilion flashed before everyone's eyes.
The poisonous lights that were shot out swiftly returned to the crystals.
The poisonous fog that was shot out shrunk in the blink of an eye. It returned to being plump, bright red fruits.
The ferocious monsters that charged out retreated back into the sealed dark prison.
The scenes continued to flow in reverse. The giant and the black figures examined the space-time images that were left behind in this space-time.
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, more than six hours had passed.
"Found it!" Suddenly, the giant paused. The scenes before their eyes stopped.
The scenes stopped at the scene of Lu Sheng charging into the gray crack.
"That fellow didn't die?" the giant exclaimed in surprise.
"Can we continue rewinding it? What about the earlier scenes? This part isn't complete, "one of the black figures said in a deep voice.
"We can't. The mark here is very thin. It seems to have been destroyed by the Eight-Headed Griffon's flames. We can't rewind it." The giant shook his head.
"In other words, the Little Heavenly Devil that we thought was dead all along managed to escape. Instead, the Fifth Demon King of Heaven, Zhuang Jiu, who was so much more powerful than him, and so many other powerhouses in the Cloud Sky Pavilion were burned to ashes by the Eight-Headed Griffon? "one of the black figures said in a strange tone.
"Regardless of whether this is related to this person, he managed to escape before the true danger appeared in the passageway. There must be something fishy going on."
"That's right. If we find this person, we might be able to find out part of the truth."
The black figures continued analyzing. Soon, they confirmed the key points.
"Indeed. No matter what, Zhuang Jiu was one of the reserve Devil Bodies for the Realm Lord. His death means that the Realm Lord has one less trump card to be reborn. Let's find this person first. " The giant made his final decision. "No matter what, this person managed to escape before the disaster arrived. It's as if he had predicted that something would happen. This means that this person must be related to this incident."
"You're right, sir. Let's try tracking this matter first. This person's blood relatives are still around. If we use our powers to secretly extract some of their bloodline, we'll surely be able to track his location, "one of the black figures said swiftly.
"I'll leave it to you then." The giant nodded slightly. "I'll be sleeping in the Meru crack. You can summon me anytime if you need anything. "
"Thank you for your trust, sir," one of the black figures replied in a deep voice.
"Be careful … The Eight-Headed Griffons are too difficult to deal with. This isn't the time for us to fight these Palaeozoic beings head-on," the giant said softly.
"Of course, we understand that." The black figure nodded slightly.
"Mm-hm. Go." The giant waved his hand.
The group of black figures immediately tunneled into the void like shuttles. They vanished in the blink of an eye.
The giant stood where he was until the black figures were far away. Then, he turned to look at the void where the Cloud Sky Pavilion had exploded.
The most powerful Shadow Play Assassin in Ghost Borneo World had made his move. It was certain that they would be able to find Zhuang Jiu. However, they had to find out why Zhuang Jiu had suddenly come to this area.
Logically, the arrangements here should not have been leaked. Zhuang Jiu was the great Fifth Devil King of Heaven. He had the strength of a Void Underworld being. His every move would be closely monitored by many forces.
Why did he suddenly send a clone over for no reason?
At such a crucial moment, there could not be any problems.
'I hope that nothing has gone wrong on the Mother Of Pain's side … Otherwise, we might have no choice but to move ahead of schedule.'
The giant swept his cold gaze in the direction of the Yellow Springs Galaxy. He turned around and stepped into the crack. He vanished.
The gray crack swiftly vanished as well.
