…
It was the same huge ship from before. This time, many of the sect's upper echelons were out on errands.
Lu Sheng had heard about External Affairs Emissary Zhang from the people around him these days. He was considered the most skilled External Affairs Emissary.
Before long, a strong, bloodless man walked into the main hall with a personal guard in tow, his body covered in blood.
"Indeed, as Deputy Sect Master said, it didn't work. But … "
He was still waiting to take his seat before entering the Martial Proclamation Library.
After lunch, he brought Lu Sheng for a stroll in the little garden behind the headquarters. Behind the huge Crimson Whale, many plants and flowers had been transplanted onto the ship, and trees had even been planted on the deck.
Lu Sheng was personally asked to stay by the old Sect Master for lunch.
The old Sect Master's face was pale, and he looked much weaker than before.
"So, the incident at Song Manor was the work of that ghost?" He coughed twice, looking at Lu Sheng seated below.
"Report!!"
Lu Sheng was stunned.
Immediately, he gave Lu Sheng a detailed explanation of the dozen or so types of ghosts he had seen. According to him, none of the ghosts he had seen were repeated. Ghosts came in all shapes and sizes, and their abilities were different as well.
"I didn't say that," Gongsun Zhanglan smiled and looked at Lu Sheng seated below. If not for the sudden appearance of Lu Sheng, this seat would have been his niece's. Unfortunately, because of this person, his niece's hard-won opportunity had slipped away.
"I wonder how many blows Brother Li can deliver at full strength?"
"If Deputy Sect Master Gongsun is confident, you can try yourself," Lu Sheng's expression did not change.
"I heard some rumors. It should be his niece who wanted to take my seat, but unexpectedly, I took it."
Li Shunxi bade farewell to Lu Sheng and left the inn. On the other hand, Lu Sheng instructed his subordinates to bypass Song Manor and carve out a separate path leading to the mine.
'Isn't Black Fury Skill an inner force skill for body cultivation? I've heard that it has fire poison effects. However, that little bit of fire poison could only burn a few blisters on the skin. Could Brother Lu's power kill a Soul of the Corpse? How much internal energy would that require? "
The two of them sat until evening before returning to Mountain-Edge City.
"Sect Leader, External Affairs Emissary Zhang who went to Jie Long City has returned!"
Moreover, after Black Fury Skill had transformed into Blood Fury Skill, his inner Qi had become even more vigorous, more than double what it had been before.
Chen Ying could not speak up for him, but there was some anger in his eyes.
Lu Sheng guessed that he was recalling the freak that his master had encountered back then, so he didn\'t say anything.
Lu Sheng had obtained a lot of information on other ghosts from Li Shunxi, and Li Shunxi had obtained some supplementary information on ghosts from Lu Sheng. He was very happy to be able to help Lu Sheng and return the favor.
Lu Sheng, who was walking a little behind him, said calmly.
"You're back? Hurry up and invite him in! "The old Sect Leader's spirit was lifted, and he immediately stood up and said loudly.
The old Sect Leader muttered to himself for a while, and did not speak again. The atmosphere became heavy.
Li Shunxi seemed to recall something, and his expression darkened once more.
"Attacking with all my strength, of course it's one move?" Li Shunxi looked at him strangely. "Inner strength surges from all over the body. Striking it out in one go naturally consumes all the inner strength in the body. If you want to strike again, you have to wait for your Qi to recover. Isn\'t this basic common sense? "
After a few days, a new transportation route was established. With Lu Sheng\'s assurance, as long as they stayed away from Song Manor, everything would be fine.
Only the Sect Leader, Gongsun Zhanglan and Chen Ying, the two Deputy Sect Leaders, and the two Internal Affairs Emissaries were present.
"Brother Lu, do you know why that Deputy Sect Leader Gongsun is targeting you?"
Gongsun Zhanglan smiled, then suddenly changed his expression and asked in a low voice, "I only have one question for you. Has this matter been resolved?"
Although there were still some who were envious of his strength, everyone else was relatively calm.
Lu Sheng had nothing to say.
"Anomalies can't be killed. No matter how many times you kill them, they will easily reappear. Perhaps the Noble Families have a way, but we … we have no way. "
"Greetings, Sect Leader, two Deputy Sect Leaders." The moment he greeted them with cupped fists, it was obvious that his Qi and blood were severely depleted. He was practically no different from an old man with one foot in the grave.
"Since the old Sect Leader has spoken, I'll leave him some face if I fight with that Gongsun Zhanglan," Lu Sheng said casually.
The topic turned to the conflict between Crimson Whale Sect and White Sands Sect and Green Kui Sect in the Central Plains.
"Sect Leader …!"
The old Sect Leader walked in front with his hands behind his back. Without turning back, he heaved a long sigh.
The two of them strolled slowly in the little garden. The midday sun was shredded into countless shards by the shade of the trees and scattered on the ground. The ground was slightly damp, covered with soft yellow grass.
The small meeting lasted until lunchtime before dispersing.
"Alright, Brother Lu. Although we didn't succeed, that Manor is extremely dangerous. From today onwards, we'll list it as a forbidden area. Put up a notice to prevent anyone from entering and being harmed," the old Sect Leader said in a low voice.
"Let's put this matter aside. Brother Lu, given Brother Lu's strength and the fact that so many of our brothers witnessed the strangeness and terror of that Manor, he deserves to be the External Affairs Emissary. Now that this matter has been settled, let's discuss Jie Long City's stance. White Sands Sect and Green Kui Sect have formed an alliance. This opening of the route won't be easy to deal with. Moreover, there will be ghosts blocking our way … "
After a round of discussion, both of them were quite satisfied with their gains.
This also resulted in him being able to unleash unimaginable power with a single move.
The two of them sat facing each other in silence for a while before Lu Sheng spoke again.
Suddenly, a personal guard rushed in and knelt on one knee before the old Sect Leader.
Lu Sheng turned to look at him intently. After a long while, he spoke slowly.
The iron mine began to operate again. A large number of miners were recruited. Lu Sheng sent his subordinates to guard and supervise. Everything began to operate in an orderly manner again.
"You're quite honest. Speak the truth." The old Sect Leader turned back and smiled, stopping in his tracks.
"There's no buts. Success is success, failure is failure," Gongsun Zhanglan said with a smile. "Since it didn't succeed, you naturally shouldn't inherit Wu San's forces and businesses. Am I right? "
He had just saved Li Shunxi's life. Li Shunxi naturally agreed to such a small request.
He smiled. "I've misunderstood many things before, Brother Lu. Of course, such a small matter isn't a problem."
Ever since he had cultivated several inner force skills to the highest level, his inner force would circulate endlessly when he attacked. Even if he attacked with all his strength, he could sustain more than ten moves before he needed to recover his Qi. And when he recovered his Qi, he could replenish it with Yin Yang Attraction.
In this way, the strength of his inner Qi was several times that of other experts of the same realm.
Li Shunxi looked at him strangely and did not speak for a long while.
"I meditated for an hour. What's wrong? Isn't that how everyone does it? "Li Shunxi replied casually.
"In other words, this matter was not resolved in the end? Right? "Gongsun Zhanglan suddenly spoke up.
"You're indeed different from the others …" The old Sect Leader smiled. "Brother Lu, I've heard Elder Ouyang and the others mention your extraordinary strength. But we're all in the same sect. We'll see each other all the time. There's no need to make things so awkward. "
Indeed, upon hearing the name of this skill, Li Shunxi's brows furrowed slightly.
After operating and excavating for two days and seeing that there were no problems, Lu Sheng once again headed to Crimson Whale Sect headquarters to make a summary report on the current situation.
"Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you this time. I've finally figured out the movement pattern of that tyrannical ghost blocking the way."
As he said this, Lu Sheng immediately recalled the differences between himself and other inner force experts.
Deputy Sect Leader Chen Ying cleared his throat and was about to speak.
With a single word from the old Sect Leader, Lu Sheng confirmed that this matter was settled.
"I wonder if Brother Li can explain to me all the ghosts you've seen so that I can understand the dangers involved."
Although Crimson Whale Sect was the hegemon of the Northern Lands and had countless connections with the authorities, it was still beyond their reach when faced with the major powers of the Central Plains.
Lu Sheng did not understand this matter and could only listen from the sidelines.
"Zhanglan, don't you think you're spouting too much nonsense? Brother Lu, being able to leave Song Manor unscathed means that his strength is outstanding. Don't tell me you want all your brothers to be injured to be considered brave? "Chen Ying could not help but say coldly.
Crimson Whale Headquarters.
"This ghost, Feiwu, is not to be underestimated. It's not something an ordinary person can come into contact with. It's already not easy for External Affairs Emissary Zhang to escape unscathed."
The old Sect Leader coughed twice and shut his eyes in silence.
Only when Lu Sheng was starting to get impatient did he speak slowly.
Back then, Lu Sheng had smashed that ghostly girl back with a single saber strike. It was witnessed by the hundreds of sect members. Everyone had also seen him escape unscathed with Ning San and Zhang Zhanglan.
"Then how long does Brother Li need to recover his Qi?"
He had never heard of the Demonic Ghosts that Lu Sheng had seen before.
"In comparison, External Affairs Emissary Lu, compared to you who gained nothing, External Affairs Emissary Zhang was heavily injured and his clothes were stained with blood. He even figured out that ghost's movement patterns. What about you? By what virtue or ability do you have to aspire to the position of External Affairs Emissary? "Gongsun Zhanglan spoke again.
Lu Sheng immediately understood the difference between himself and others.
"It's an incomplete manual called Black Fury Skill," Lu Sheng had nothing to hide. After all, it was a manual that could be bought at an auction. Although it was a mystery to the average person, it should not be much to those in the circle.
"What's there to hide? I entered Crimson Whale Sect to find stronger experts to learn from and exchange pointers with. If Gongsun Zhanglan intends to fight with me, that's exactly what I want, "Lu Sheng was unconcerned.
Moreover, the journey was too long. Even External Affairs Emissary Zhang, a high-ranking member of the sect, had barely managed to return alive. It was clear how difficult it was.
"External Affairs Emissary Zhang, it's been hard on you," the old Sect Master stood up and supported him.
"Moreover, Anomalies will only grow stronger as time passes. We were lucky to have encountered a newly formed Anomaly. If it had been a Anomaly that had been around for decades, decades, or even centuries, I'm afraid our lives would have been in danger."
"I'd like to ask a question," Lu Sheng opened his mouth again after he had thought it through. "If you're strong enough to withstand the Anomaly's invasion, is there a chance to exterminate it once and for all?"
He asked softly after a moment's hesitation.
"Indeed." Lu Sheng said calmly, "When I went to investigate, I encountered the legendary invulnerable Soul Corpse. After a few exchanges, I barely managed to retreat safely. This Song Manor has indeed become a ghost town. Even a great fire can't burn it down. "
