Chapter 417
Lu Sheng took another sip of the wine . The faint sweetness of honey could be tasted as well as various flowers in the cold wine . He also tasted a strong sedative called the Drunken Gods, probably the work of Yin Yang Agency .
Since it was wine on Jing Hong's table, he must have drunk it already .
Drunken Gods was a sedative specifically made for those with the formidable physique of a Weapon Master, and was especially effective on anyone whose body had not been specially strengthened .
Lu Sheng looked at Jing Hong and Liu Qingyuan again . Both had activated their bloodline powers from their Divine Weapon .
Twisted words invisible to ordinary eyes started to appear around Liu Qingyuan . Every single one of them looked extremely tough and sharp, and they all shot toward Jing Hong with great power and speed .
But, a strange force surrounded Jing Hong . All of the invisible words immediately exploded and disappeared as they shot into it .
"Power of negation?" Tong Yi was slightly surprised .
"Bam!"
Abruptly, the bench underneath Liu Qingyuan cracked . His face was so red it looked like blood was going to drip out, though it might have been hard to tell since his face was red to begin with .
But Lu Sheng clearly sensed that he lost .
Jing Hong didn't take advantage of the situation, and still sat there, drinking the wine laced with Drunken Gods . Drunken Gods could put out most Weapon Masters, but he happened to be part of the small portion that had specially strengthened his body .
"Go back . You people shouldn't be here . " Jing Hong stood up, slowly walked outside, and soon disappeared in the corner of the street .
Liu Qingyuan got up and wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Tong Yi .
"Don't . You will lose . " Tong Yi shook his head . "He… doesn't look to be a vicious criminal . We must investigate this further . "
"But, Master…" Liu Qingyuan was not happy . Losing so easily in front of his master, even if he hadn't used his full power, was quite embarrassing .
"Lu Sheng, what do you make of this?" Tong Yi looked at Lu Sheng .
"You can't judge a book by its cover, but I agree with Senior Tong Yi's judgement . " Lu Sheng nodded with a smile .
He already informed the two other Evil Art Masters through the 'Evil' symbol on his palm .
Through the spirit procession technique, they could temporarily appear in this world for three days, more than enough for them to complete the mission .
They should've been making arrangements by now .
"Are they actors? What a performance . Little Sun, their acting is so much better than yours," the junior apprentice sister among the other group said again .
The young man's face sunk a little, but he didn't talk back .
"If little junior apprentice sister is interested, we could hire some performers to come to the King's Mansion just for you . You can watch as much as you want," the white-clad woman on the side suggested, trying to please her .
"That would be wonderful! If they are bad, put the Seven Pins on them . They will have to try their hardest then!" The little junior apprentice sister clapped her hand in joy .
Seven Pins was the most common technique among the upper class families of the Great Yin . A person had seven crucial pressure points, and the so-called Seven Pins involved repeatedly puncturing all seven spots, but not severely enough to kill . People subjected to this torture suffered a pain worse than death, and lived their lives in fear and torment .
It was definitely one of the most evil punishments ever .
Yet this seemingly innocent and cute girl still spoke of something so vicious so casually . Her heart was clearly filled with cruelty .
Tong Yi stood up with the help of Liu Qingyuan, and turned toward Lu Sheng . "And that's that . Allow this old man to leave first . Lu Sheng, do you want to come together?"
"Senior, you can leave first, I still have something I need to take care of . I will catch up later . " Lu Sheng smiled .
Tong Yi sighed . He had a feeling he knew what Lu Sheng wanted to do . "Be forgiving if you can, Lu Sheng, you…" He didn't finish, and instead slowly got out of the door . An oxen carriage sent by the Yin Yang Agency was already waiting outside .
Lu Sheng sat at the table alone, and started to sip his wine again .
The group of people in white clothing left the restaurant after paying . Lu Sheng paid no attention to them . He wasn't someone to be angered by mere talk .
He was waiting, waiting for news .
The people of the Yin Yang Agency also left one by one . Even the officials in charge of the operation left one by one after informing Lu Sheng .
After another half an hour, Lu Sheng suddenly stood up, and walked out .
The sun was shining high in the sky at that point . His feet were light, and each step he took covered as much distance as 10 normal steps . Soon, the streets and town were left behind . Lu Sheng left the main road at a shocking speed, heading toward the southwestern part of town . Strangely, no one paid any attention to his weird behavior, as if this was totally normal, or they simply didn't notice at all .
After climbing over several hills, Lu Sheng stopped amid a maple forest . The blood-red maple leafs fell to the ground with the wind, and a large blanket of red had accumulated there already .
Other people would take care of the rest . The men Shizi Xing sent were more than enough to complete the mission .
The mission he and the other two Evil Art Masters had was to ambush the person behind . As soon as he showed himself, all three would attack at the same time, making sure he couldn't escape .
Lu Sheng had arranged this with the two Evil Art Masters already .
Both Evil Art Masters held special Divine Weapons: the Thousand Chance Lock and Hundred Fortune Chain . The Hundred Fortune Chain could track down anything of equal level, while the Thousand Chance Lock could lock anything with a special connection to it in place for one hour .
Working together, the two could lock a target in place for one hour .
