As for who they were looking for …
Lu Sheng had always been a person who could distinguish between gratitude and grudges. Just like the sect master of the Thousand Sun Sect's branch sect, and the old Divine Lord Tong Sheng, who had taken care of him. He planned to take care of these people in advance.
"If it's possible, can I bring a few people with me to be protected?" Li Shunxi could vaguely sense that Lu Sheng and the others were about to do something earth-shattering. Feeling troubled, he could not help but ask.
"Within 10 people." Lu Sheng smiled.
"Thank you, Big Brother Lu!"
Lu Sheng said no more.
At this moment, the other four Void Underworld beings had already divided the spoils of the battle.
"Well then, I'll make my move first." Lu Sheng smiled. He looked at the others and said, "Let's make this clear. The Mother Of Pain has two Void Underworld beings. As long as we finish the battle quickly, those Void Underworld reinforcements of unknown origins won't be able to arrive in time. Hence, I hope that you won't be held back when you make your move. If you can't finish the battle quickly, you should escape quickly and work together to defeat some of them first! "
"You're right." Cheng Huan nodded and said, "For this operation, the sect master has asked me to bring along a Three Saints Soul-Summoning Mirror. If there's any unexpected trouble, gather around me!"
The others nodded.
"Well then, we'll act according to the signal," Lu Sheng said.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "In an instant, the few of them turned into black lines and vanished from the surface of the water. It was as if they had never appeared in the first place.
"Let's go as well." Lu Sheng put his hand on Li Shunxi's shoulder. Light flashed before their eyes, and they were transported to another place in the blink of an eye.
Li Shunxi's vision blurred. When he regained his senses, he was already standing in front of a tavern in the nearby Yellow Mountain City.
Lu Sheng's lips moved slightly as he secretly transmitted his voice to Li Shunxi, "We'll have to rely on your strength next, brother."
Li Shunxi's expression changed slightly. Realization dawned on him.
"No problem. These people are easy to find. We'll find them in a day. However, after we find them … "
"Just knock them out and drag them back. I'm doing this for their safety. I'm sure they'll understand, "Lu Sheng said with a smile.
"…" Li Shunxi's expression was strange, but he didn't know what to say.
Rumble!
Suddenly, there was a loud rumble of thunder in the sky. It was clearly a sunny day with no clouds in sight, but a thunderbolt suddenly exploded in broad daylight.
Caught off guard, the passers-by below were all dizzy from the impact. They swayed left and right as they tried to find a place to hide.
Many people screamed loudly, but it was useless. The deafening sound of thunder covered everything and continued to resound.
Boom!
Boom!!
Boom!!!
After the last clap of thunder exploded, the blue sky was suddenly torn into a huge blood-red wound.
Li Shunxi was shocked. He raised his head to look at the drastic changes in the sky. He had already guessed that this was most likely a trap set up by Lu Sheng and the others.
"There's already a gap in the defense circle. All we need to do now is wait." Lu Sheng patted him on the shoulder. "Hurry up and make the arrangements. Remember, it's only for one day. "
Li Shunxi suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded firmly. He turned around and leaped. In the blink of an eye, he turned into a beam of white light and disappeared into the streets.
Fortunately, everyone was frightened by the thunderbolt in the sky. Not many people noticed him. Besides, there were cultivators like this in the Great Song. It wasn't a big deal.
After Li Shunxi left, Lu Sheng raised his head to look at the sky again. In the middle of the sky, there was a huge blood-red crack. It stretched across his entire field of vision, splitting the entire sky above his head into two. It shone with blinding blood-red light.
"Let me see what you're going to use to resist …" He chuckled and stepped into the restaurant.
…
…
The World of Pain, Central Cloud City.
In the huge, flawless, snow-white Taoist Palace, countless clouds turned into trees, palaces, and sometimes into living creatures that leaped around.
The entire Taoist Palace was nothing but clouds.
In the center of the countless clouds sat a woman in a black dress who was more than ten meters tall.
The woman only had a single huge blood-red eye on her face. She sat on a white jade-like throne with a sinister expression.
"Someone's causing trouble in the Third Planet's Black Measure Network. Send someone to take a look." She suddenly raised her hand. A hollow black ball made of countless black threads slowly appeared in her palm.
However, a few spots on the surface of the black ball were currently burning with red light. It seemed like it was being attacked.
A few tall and muscular figures slowly appeared from the smoke. They knelt on one knee.
"Should we send An Duo to take a look?" one of them asked softly.
"There's no rush. Send the patrol team to take a look first. If they really can't handle it, then send An Duo," The Mother Of Pain said calmly.
The two silhouettes responded and quickly disappeared in the cloud of smoke.
"What's that old man Jing Hui doing now?" The Mother Of Pain asked softly.
A sharp female voice quickly answered from the smoke.
"Master Jing Hui is admiring the flowers in the Cloud Province."
"Did he give any further warnings?"
"Not at all," the female voice replied.
The Mother Of Pain's expression instantly turned grim. Ever since she imprisoned this old man in the Yellow Springs Galaxy tens of thousands of years ago, she had received countless warnings. It could be said that apart from her own powerful strength, she had relied on Jing Hui's prophecies to turn misfortunes into blessings.
However, in the past thousand years, Jing Hui's prophecies had become fewer and fewer. Even if they did exist, they were no longer as precise and detailed as before. This greatly displeased The Mother Of Pain.
'Looks like this old man has other plans …' A thought flashed across The Mother Of Pain's mind. She was about to get up and have her meal.
"Bam! Bam! Bam!
Bam! "Suddenly, the black ball in her palm exploded with a series of red sparks. The sparks almost blasted the entire black ball in her hand into smithereens.
"How dare you!?" The Mother Of Pain's eyes widened. An unprecedented rage surged within her.
'How many years has it been?!' It had been many years since someone dared to challenge her authority in the Yellow Springs Galaxy!
She instantly determined that this attack came from within the Yellow Springs Planet.
"You damned mortals! You're courting death! "She stood up abruptly. A circle of dark gray light erupted from her body.
"Faulkner!"
"Yes, my lord." A giant with a human head, a snake's body, and many legs like a centipede slowly crawled toward them from the smoke and clouds in the distance.
"Bring your Evil Art Masters and find the culprits. Eat them alive!" The Mother Of Pain's voice carried a hint of a growl.
"As you wish."
The giant slowly retreated with a smile. He quickly disappeared into the thick smoke and clouds again.
The Taoist palace fell silent once more.
The Mother Of Pain sat down again. The rage on her face quickly faded as if she was putting on a show.
"Looks like they're about to make their move."
"Success or failure hinges on this. What's there to worry about?" an ethereal voice replied.
"With your help, we should be able to eliminate these major threats in one fell swoop! After this, I'd like to see how the Green Branch Sect is going to fight me. "The Mother Of Pain suddenly smirked coldly.
Among the smoke and clouds, three tall figures with strange and ferocious-looking figures were staring at the Mother Of Pain with red gleams in their eyes. Their bodies were shrouded in black smoke-like aura.
… …
… …
Lu Sheng leisurely picked up a jug of wine. He tipped his head back and poured it into his mouth.
Thunder rumbled in the skies, but he paid no heed to it. There was almost no one left in the tavern. The innkeeper, waiters, and waiters had all run to the basement to hide, afraid that a lightning bolt would strike them out of nowhere.
The streets were empty as well. Almost everyone had found a place to hide.
Thunder rumbled occasionally in the skies. The blood-red rift would expand and shrink at times. Dark red flames burned within.
Faint battle cries could be heard from afar.
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, a blurry silhouette appeared before Lu Sheng. It transformed into the blurry silhouette of Cheng Huan.
"External Elder Lu, we're in position. Can we make our move now?"
"There's no rush." Lu Sheng poured the last mouthful of wine into his mouth. "We'll have to wait a little longer …"
"The reinforcements have already made their move. If we delay any longer, we'll be taken down one by one." Another blurry silhouette appeared on Lu Sheng's right. It was Yue Rulong.
Lu Sheng smiled. Suddenly, he flipped his palm. A purple seal that resembled a complicated rune appeared on his palm. A message was transmitted into his ears.
"Hiss!"
In an instant, a piercing noise rang in the skies above him. It sounded like metal scraping against each other.
"This is bad! This is … the Void Underworld Reincarnation Field! "Suddenly, Cheng Huan's expression changed. The silhouette that was transmitted to him exploded like a soap bubble.
"It's a trap!" Yue Rulong's silhouette exploded and vanished as well.
The black-robed woman who had just appeared before she could speak also exploded and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Lu Sheng's hand, which was holding the wine pot, paused for a moment. Steady and powerful footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs behind him.
A bare-chested man with bloodshot eyes and bone spikes as sharp as blades sprouted from his back slowly walked up the tavern.
…
Almost at the same time.
Cheng Huan sat cross-legged on a huge pink folding fan Dharma Artifact. He stared into the distance with a solemn gaze. A tall figure surrounded by black water was slowly rising from the surface of the water.
"Clang!"
Xu Haobai, who was thousands of miles away, wielded two swords. He turned around abruptly and parried a long gray saber that came slashing at him from behind. Two majestic and terrifying force fields collided and destroyed each other. Not a single bit of energy was spilled.
Behind him, a seductive woman with two heads wielded a saber with both hands. Her body was covered in a full-body armor that burned with purple flames.
Yue Rulong and the black-robed woman hovered side by side in the air above the vast ocean. They were facing off against two beautiful, fair-skinned female cultivators. However, there were no moving eyeballs in the pair of female cultivators' eyes. There were only four pitch-black empty holes.
"Yue Rulong of the Three Sacred Spiritual Gate and Zhao Xijing of the Wind Transformation Sect? The Mother Of Pain has been waiting for you for a long time … "The twin female cultivators let out a shrill, creepy laugh.
"How did you know about our operation?! Don't tell me …?! "Yue Rulong's heart skipped a beat. Could Lu Sheng be the Mother Of Pain's spy?!
"Puff!"
Suddenly, Yue Rulong felt a sharp pain in his waist. A black ray of light pierced through his waist.
The black-robed woman, Zhao Xijing, held a black spike in her hand. With a creepy smile on her face, she pierced through him.
