Chapter 526
The Devil Palace was a scene of dark red . A thick carpet was laid over the floor, and blazing fire could be seen burning underneath through its edges .
Heavy charcoal was kept going under the main hall to maintain a suitable temperature .
Lu Sheng sat on the highest black throne and swept the upper echelons of the Prime Devil Sect who had started to gather here with his gaze .
Elder Shi, a Devil Clan Devil King who had been sealed within a rock and dug out had already become the Prime Devil Sect's key figure who was true to his name . He was standing at the side, looking submissive . He was sporting a new look now—his back was no longer hunched . From his outer appearance, he looked no different from a white-haired old storyteller in a tavern .
Rumor had it that he actually went to do storytelling in taverns recently with this disguise .
Lu Sheng found it difficult to believe . This person was known for his fiery temper, so he could not imagine him suppressing his pride to tell stories to other people .
Opposite Elder Shi sat the King of Shadows . This person was blonde with blue eyes, and looked similar to a Westerner on Earth . When he noticed Lu Sheng's stare, he—Xu Feila—smiled at him .
Lu Sheng returned the smile with a nod . The King of Shadows had contributed greatly to the Prime Devil Sect, especially during the period when it was expanding its influence through conquest . This individual had raked up many achievements .
Then, there was Duanmu Wan and the other Weapon Masters who joined the sect later on . However, Lu Sheng's attention was only on these three . The other Weapon Masters were not among his confidants . These three were the only ones whose bodies were constantly under his control . He was able to allow them to settle many personal affairs because he had cast his secret art on them .
"Alright, since everyone is here, we can begin our regular meeting . " Lu Sheng paused . "The other guidelines remain unchanged . How are things in the Yin Capital?"
In the current Great Yin, everyone's attention was focused on two locations . One was the Yin Capital, and the other was the largest Gate of Flesh and Blood which was opened in the Devil World .
These two places were the key locations that could influence the entire big picture .
"I'm in charge of the matters regarding the Yin Capital . Recently, the Yuanguang Family's Yuanguang Yuan had sent a request . She hopes that we can support them again by sending her some guards . Miss Ying Ying alone isn't enough . The feud of the Yuanguang Family is looking serious," the King of Shadows Xu Feila spoke up .
"More support? What's she offering in exchange?" Elder Shi asked .
"She's about to become the Other World deputy attendant of the Yuanguang Family based in the Yin Capital . If her position is stable, she'll at least be able to influence one-third of the Yuanguang Family's various Other World resources . Yuanguang Yuan promises that after she's sworn in, she'll allow the Prime Devil Sect free access and accommodation in all the Other Worlds which the Yuanguang Family is in charge of . Also, she will share half of all the resources under her jurisdiction with us, and the Prime Devil Sect will be allowed to mine them," Xu Feila explained .
The mining rights to the resources were truly a generous offer . How many Other Worlds would the Yuanguang Family discover every year? The mining rights they were offering were worth much more than a normal piece of land in the Great Yin .
"The powers around Yuanguang Yuan right now are supplied by us . There's no fear of her going back on her word… However, we can't place all our resources on her alone," Elder Shi added .
"About this, Duanmu Wan, you'll be in charge . Xu Feila, you have to keep an eye on the Devil Army on the side . Also, how's it going with the information gathering on the Divine Weapons?" Lu Sheng continued to ask .
"We've made some headway . The Divine Weapons that showed up recently in the vicinity of our sect and territory number four in total . We've already assigned our men . Once they reveal themselves, I'll go out myself . We'll surely remove all obstacles and take them," Xu Feila answered .
Lu Sheng mused for a while . Then, he asked about the situation of the three sects . After all, the Prime Devil Sect was only a sideline force . Compared to the established Three Sects and Three Great Families, their own force was much weaker . Every single action taken by any one of the Three Sects would surely impact the Prime Devil Sect .
While they discussed other matters in the main hall, the staff who went to Lu Manor had returned .
Lu Sheng emphasized the defensive plan he had set before this . He also asked about the updates on the other missions . The meeting was only adjourned after two hours . After the meeting ended, Duanmu Wan stayed behind of her own accord .
Duanmu Wan moved closer, and reported softly, "Sect Master, Lu Ran is here . "
Lu Sheng nodded slightly . "Bring her in . "
Xu Feila and Elder Shi had just recently gone outside the door . Naturally, they heard the conversation behind them . However, this was a domestic affair of the Lu Manor, and they were in no place to inquire about it . However, they were both keenly interested in this girl Lu Ran . A person whose background they could not ascertain would definitely not be a simple person .
The two of them exchanged a look, but they did not stop . They conjured up black clouds and flew away .
Within the empty main hall, three Prime Devil Sect disciples brought a beautiful girl with delicate features who seemed at a loss along the carpet .
Lu Sheng focused his mind and sized up the girl . It was just as Duanmu Wan had said—he could not feel anything from her . Her Spiritual Essence was completely a normal person's, and she had the constitution and spirit of a normal person as well .
"You're Lu Ran?" he said softly .
The girl crossed her arms defensively . She lowered her head and did not look at Lu Sheng . When she heard his voice, she waited for half a beat before she nodded .
"…I am . "
Among all the girls Lu Sheng had met before, Lu Ran was not the most beautiful . However, she was definitely the one who appeared the weakest .
"Why did you appear in the pastures where her ladyship was walking on?" he asked directly .
Lu Ran was silent for some time .
"…I don't remember . " Her expression was calm . She did not seem to be faking it—she truly appeared to have forgotten about it .
Lu Sheng's brows were furrowed together slightly . He could not sense anything wrong with this girl, but that, in itself, was the greatest problem of all .
His current appearance was that of a rising Divine Lord within the Thousand Sun Sect . The Prime Devil Sect was only an extremely young Divine Lord force . There were not many groups who had such a force in Great Yin, but there was no lack of them as well . Every Divine Lord would somehow have such a force behind them .
Lu Sheng was of the opinion that under the condition that his true strength was not exposed, outsiders would see him as a Divine Lord with Rogue Divine Weapon, just like the others in the Thousand Sun Sect .
With such an appearance, nobody would want to plan anything against them .
"Forget it . You're dismissed . Go be a good girl and accompany her ladyship . Since you've entered the Lu Manor, you'll be a member of the family . You must abide by our family's rules . " Since Lu Sheng could not find any issues with her, he had no choice but to dismiss her .
Lu Ran was still at a loss as she was brought out of the main hall by the others . She was given an exquisite and beautiful black crystal ring as a compensation for having been summoned here .
Then, she was led into the flying ship which brought them back to the Autumn Moon County .
"Swoosh . "
