"Looking back, it's already been 100 years. Big Brother Lu Sheng … I wonder how you've been for the past 100 years." Li Shunxi put down the intelligence newspaper. He raised his hand and waved. A jar of fine wine appeared out of thin air behind him and landed in his hand.
He tilted his head back and took a big gulp of wine.
"You're still the same as before. You're too soft-hearted and always worry about others." Suddenly, a blurry silhouette slowly appeared on the surface of the water nearby.
The silhouette gradually solidified in the mist. It turned into a tall, muscular man with a handsome face but a hint of gloominess.
"Big Brother Lu?!" Li Shunxi was shocked at first. Then, when he saw who it was, he was elated.
Excited, he leaped lightly on the surface of the water as though he was walking on flat ground. He quickly landed in front of Lu Sheng.
"You …" Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Lu Sheng.
"Do me a favor. I need powerhouses to join my newly founded Anomaly Research Society. You can be one of them," said Lu Sheng with a smile.
"Research society? Anomaly Research Society? "Li Shunxi naturally paid attention to the mysterious force under Lu Sheng.
"That's just an experiment. A real research society wouldn't be so bloated." Lu Sheng said with a smile, "I suspect that the Anomalies might be a painful disease produced by the world. Once the density of the Anomalies reaches a certain level, it might cause irreparable damage to the entire world."
"Oh?!" Li Shunxi was shocked.
Lu Sheng continued to share his speculation. When it came to the impact of the Anomalies on the world, he carefully explained to Li Shunxi the comparison between the density of the Anomalies and the barrenness of the world.
"That's very likely!" Li Shunxi's expression gradually turned solemn.
"Come on, brother. The world needs you." Lu Sheng patted his shoulder.
Li Shunxi was a person born with great luck. Everything else aside, the evil jade in his body that could predict the future was invaluable.
It was also because of this that the Mother Of Pain had even sent people to attack him. However, the Evil Jade's foresight ability had predicted it and successfully avoided it.
"Maintaining the peace of the world and the stability of all living beings is the ultimate goal of my cultivation." Li Shunxi pondered for a moment, and his eyes became firm. "Although I know that you must have other intentions, no matter what your intentions are, what you're doing is undoubtedly beneficial to all living beings and the world. So … I'm in! "
He didn't even ask about anything else, such as what restrictions there would be after joining, or whether it would affect the current Three Sacred Gates, and so on.
Lu Sheng took out a rune array contract that he had made himself. He signed the contract with Li Shunxi with his own body as the impartial judge and the Anomaly Research Society as the main body.
Li Shunxi didn't even look at the terms before he signed it.
He believed that Lu Sheng would not harm him. Lu Sheng had saved him too many times before. If he really wanted to make a move, he would not have waited until now.
After putting the contract away, Lu Sheng's expression changed slightly.
"You won't regret your decision." Li Shunxi was the first member of the newly established research society. He would continue to choose powerful seeds with potential to join.
"What do we do after joining?" Li Shunxi finally reacted, and asked with a dumbfounded expression.
"Right now, there's only you and me in the research society. I'll have to find someone else to join," Lu Sheng said with a smile. "However, there aren't any suitable candidates in the Great Yin for now."
"If there's no one in the Great Yin, what about the Great Song, and the other territories …" Li Shunxi was confused.
"In the eyes of your Big Brother Lu, I'm afraid you're the only one in the entire Yellow Springs Planet who's worth his attention." Suddenly, a pillar of faint blue starlight descended from the sky near the two of them. Two people stood within the pillar of light.
Both of them wore green armor and carried pure white longswords on their backs. Their faces were as clear as jade, and specks of starlight constantly surrounded them.
"Cheng Huan and Yue Rulong of the Three Sacred Spiritual Gate's Myriad Star Pavilion greets External Elder Lu." The two of them cupped their fists slightly.
"You guys came quickly …" Lu Sheng said with a smile.
"With External Elder Lu opening up the planet's defenses, there are loopholes to exploit. If we still can't get in, then we'll have wasted External Elder Lu's time," Cheng Huan, who looked like a woman, said with a smile.
"Wait a little longer. Sect Master Xu will be here soon," Lu Sheng reminded him.
"Oh? Sect Master Xu Haobai is coming too? It's been more than 600 years since we last met. I wonder if Sect Master Xu has mastered the Thousand Years Respond Sword Technique? "Cheng Huan asked in surprise.
"Pavilion Master Cheng Huan's Star Luo Amnesty has also been mastered?" A green bolt of lightning flashed in the distance. Countless currents quickly condensed into a figure that Lu Sheng was familiar with. It was Xu Haobai.
"Brother Xu."
"Brother Lu, looks like you're progressing well." Xu Haobai sensed with his spirit, and noticed the difference in his surroundings.
"Let's finish this quickly. If this planet wasn't where my main body came from, I wouldn't have progressed so meticulously," Lu Sheng said with a shake of his head.
Li Shunxi was dizzy from listening to them. These people all looked like they were of the same generation as Big Brother Lu. They were obviously important people. However, he was at the top of the Great Yin, and had all the information in the world in his hands. Yet, he had never heard of these people's names …
"May I ask why you've come to the Great Yin, my brothers …?" He cupped his fists at them.
"How dare you!" Suddenly, a black shadow floated in from afar, and turned into a woman in black.
The woman had no ears, and a pretty face. There was a spider-like mark on her black robe, and she looked ferocious and evil.
"How dare you call me brother? You're just a mortal … "
Li Shunxi was stunned. He took a closer look at Xu Haobai and the two so-called people from the Myriad Star Pavilion. He noticed that although their expressions were gentle, they did not look at him directly.
Everyone's attention was on Big Brother Lu Sheng, who was beside him.
Li Shunxi was not angered. Instead, he smiled, and said, "If I'm not qualified, then I'm afraid there aren't many in the entire Great Yin who are qualified."
However, these people ignored him. Apart from Xu Haobai, who smiled at him, the others treated him like air.
Lu Sheng patted his shoulder.
"He's Li Shunxi. He's a friend I acknowledge. I don't want to hear anyone humiliating him in front of his face."
He slowly fixed his gaze on the woman in black who came later.
The woman's hair stood on end. She was like a frog being stared at by its natural enemy. Her spirit was ringing with alarm.
She could not help but take a step back.
"Since Devil Emperor Shun Ying has spoken, I'll apologize for my slip of the tongue." She was actually flexible. A great Void Underworld being immediately apologized to a mortal.
The other three were speechless. At the same time, they gained a deeper understanding of Lu Sheng's current strength.
They were all Void Underworld beings, but a Void Underworld Heavenly Devil was much more powerful. Moreover, Lu Sheng was clearly an outstanding Void Underworld Heavenly Devil. Even without his Undying Body, he could suppress a being of the same tier as him with his aura. It was clear how powerful he was.
Lu Sheng did not criticize the helpers who came to help. After all, they were in the enemy's camp. It was more important to deal with the matter at hand.
As for Li Shunxi's pride, it was not given to him by others. He earned it himself. He should understand this. He just had to work hard in the future.
"Since everyone's here, we can talk about our next arrangements …"
As the leader, he stood in the middle of the group and spoke with assurance.
"I've already set up 10 explosive points on the Black Measure Net. If everything goes smoothly, we'll be able to deal with the Evil Art Masters and Mirror Spirit Masters hiding in the Devil World within a day."
"Do we need to kill the two Devil Emperors first?" Cheng Huan asked.
"There's no need. They're only puppets. The Devil World is a great experiment for those people in the human world. If something goes wrong, the Gate of Pain will definitely open. When that happens … "Before Lu Sheng could finish his sentence, someone else interrupted him.
"I'll go block the gate," Yue Rulong, who was standing beside Cheng Huan, said in a deep voice. "However, it's better to block the gate and get rid of the source of their forces."
"No, that's not our primary objective," Lu Sheng said with a smile. "There will be at least three more Gates of Pain opening. Are you coming with me, Brother Xu?"
Xu Haobai smiled. "You mean?"
"That's right. The Gate of Pain is blocked. If they want to mobilize more forces to break through, they'll definitely open the Source Pillar of Pain and the Gate of War. Only the Gate of War can allow existences of the highest rank to enter and leave safely. "
Lu Sheng said with a smile.
"Once they open the Gate of War … the World of Pain will be as good as opening its arms to us. It'll be defenseless …"
"When that happens, it'll be too late even if they want to close it …" The black-robed woman suddenly sneered.
"Coincidentally, my Thousand Year Counter Myriad Sword Technique is still lacking living beings as a sacrifice. Please don't fight me for it. I'll be sure to reward you handsomely, "Xu Haobai hastily said. It was rare to see Confusion Realm cultivators with such great strength and numbers.
"A Winged Dragon's marrow."
"A Flowering Divine Cauldron."
"I want a set of plant-type crystals!"
The others immediately expressed their desire for treasures. However, out of respect for the Green Branch Sect, they did not overdo it.
"If that's the case, thank you, everyone. In truth, I only need the flesh and blood of a hundred billion living beings to refine my sword technique. The quality of the living beings in the World of Pain is far above average. I might not be able to use them all, "Xu Haobai said with a smile.
"We'll rely on our own abilities then." Lu Sheng was indifferent. For beings of their level, living beings were also a type of resource.
"We'll do as you say, Devil Emperor Shun Ying."
The others stopped arguing.
Li Shunxi listened to their conversation from the side. At first, he was able to maintain his smile and composure. However, as the conversation progressed, his expression gradually changed.
His initially calm face turned paler and more nervous.
As these people chatted and laughed, they managed to divide up all the living beings in the World of Pain.
The many terrifying armies under the command of The Mother Of Pain were like meat on a chopping board in the eyes of these people. They were sliced and diced up before they could even make a move. This was …
"Don't mind them. They were just joking," Lu Sheng said as he patted his shoulder and transmitted his voice. "They were joking."
Li Shunxi glanced at Lu Sheng with a pale face and said with a bitter smile.
"Big Brother Lu … My little heart can't take a scare … Can you be more specific … What are you here for?!"
Lu Sheng said with a smile.
"Don't worry, we'll leave you some benefits. Also, once you join the research society, you'll soon understand that you'll see these things often in the future. An old friend will come later. Remember to hold her back and make sure she doesn't act rashly. "
Lu Sheng reminded them. He had found the people he wanted before he made his move. Otherwise, if they were accidentally killed during the battle, it would be a huge misunderstanding.
