Chapter 536: 536
Evil Spirits…
Lu Sheng suddenly thought about the legendary splitting ability of the Evil Spirits . They would split after reproducing on their own . He reckoned that the strength of the split bodies would not be maintained at the Divine Lord's level .
'In that case, that might explain why the Evil Spirits were that weak . I reckon that the number of Evil Spirits leaked into our world is little as well . These countless Evil Spirits should be the product of the splitting of a handful of Divine Lord Evil Spirits . ' Lu Sheng understood in his heart .
He remembered the golden-haired man who floated among the flames . That person had to have been a peak expert among the Evil Spirits . It was highly probable that it was an art breaker .
From the expression of that person, since they had taken care of his subordinates, the person would certainly not let the matter slide . It was highly possible that Lu Sheng would be targeted .
'It's highly possible that the Art Breaker rank is equivalent to a Weapon Grandmaster . Seems like I'll have to pick up the pace…' A sense of urgency rose within Lu Sheng's heart .
He had forgotten when was the last time he felt this feeling . The last time he felt the urgent desire to improve his strength was when he was still not a Divine Lord .
Now, his cultivation base was still stuck at the Weapon Grandmaster tier's threshold . He had yet to obtain a complete picture and understanding of a Weapon Grandmaster's true strength .
'It's time for my next Arrival . ' Lu Sheng decided in his heart .
After discussing the upcoming arrangements with the various representatives, their powers would be temporarily gathered and led by the Prime Devil Sect, which would also oversee the entire situation of the Nine Bright Province . The actual dispatching of teams would be supervised by the Three Sects and Duanmu Wan .
Lu Sheng went straight to the back hall and looked at the startled people of the Lu Manor .
Lu Quanan had some superficial wounds, while the others were alright . He had lost more than half of his servants . It was fortunate that there were many hidden places that the others could hide in inside the manor . Those places were even equipped with formations that concealed their aura . This helped them deceived many an Evil Spirit .
Lu Qingqing was still unconscious because of his running about . He suffered some injuries on his arm . Chen Yunxi recounted the dangerous incident to Lu Sheng .
"Were you touched by the Evil Spirits?" When Lu Sheng heard that Chen Yunxi was tackled by an Evil Spirit, he tensed up .
"No… It felt as if it had missed and veered off course . I don't think it actually hit me . " Chen Yunxi was also slightly puzzled . She clearly remembered that when the Evil Spirit was almost upon her, it did not deviate from its course . However, it suddenly missed at the final moment .
"What about Ningning?" Lu Sheng looked at Ningnig, who was sleeping soundly in Jade Mother's embrace nearby .
Mu Jueqing was there by their side .
"Qingqing, you've done well this time . I'll reward you handsomely when we get back!" Lu Sheng managed a smile . He reached out and caressed Mu Jueqing's hair .
"I don't want a reward . I'll thank the heavens and the earth if you'll actually guide me for a day or two . " Mu Jueqing pouted .
Lu Sheng felt helpless . He had to many businesses to attend to . He did not have the time to guide this disciple of this whom he never asked for .
"Also, I'd like to bring you back to your hometown for a visit . "
"Mhm . Thank you, Teacher . " Although she did not think that her hometown would be in any trouble, Mu Jueqing nodded anyways, being the sensible girl she was .
Lu Sheng attended to the wounds of his father Lu Quanan and the others . After treating them with Yang Essence, he came to Lu Ning .
He pressed a palm on his forehead and extended his Yang Essence into the child . He made his Yang Essence circulate in his body .
'That aura seemed to have weakened considerably…' Lu Sheng was slightly concerned .
When Chen Yunxi saw that he did not react immediately, she quickly walked up to him, and asked, "What's the matter? Is Ningning injured somehow?"
"It's nothing . He's just slightly frightened and is feeling slightly dispirited . All he needs is some rest," Lu Sheng responded casually .
"For the time being, all of you should stay within the Devil Palace . There are fortified formations here, and they won't be that easily breached for now . There won't be an issue in security . Moreover, there's a storage of food that's kept cold . The freshness will be guaranteed to the greatest extent . "
"Mm-hm, alright . " Chen Yunxi nodded . "What about you? Are you going out again?" She was slightly worried .
"No, I'm not going out . I want to go into seclusion . I have to prepare for the subsequent attacks by the Evil Spirits . I'm leaving all external affairs to the consultation between Duanmu Wan and the three Weapon Grandmasters . Also, my teacher, Liu Shanzi will deliver the reports of the consultations to the hidden compartment in my seclusion room . I'll take care of them when I have the time," Lu Sheng said promptly .
"Can you not go?" Jade Mother was still feeling reluctant . Also, the people here in the Lu Manor did not wish to see Lu Sheng leave as well . With the Evil Spirits looming over them, their haven of a home in the Nine Bright Province had instantly become a perilous place .
Under such a situation, only an absolutely powerful martial strength was the greatest guarantee to safety .
"I can't help it . The situation demands it . However, before I go into seclusion, I'll thoroughly deal with the threat of the Evil Spirits in the vicinity and keep this area safe for some time . You can rest easy," Lu Sheng added .
"Don't be careless! You must take caution in all that you do!" Lu Quanan took a step forward and patted Lu Sheng's shoulder .
"Don't worry . " Lu Sheng nodded repeatedly . Then, he glanced at Lu Ning again . After that, he turned around and strode away .
He quickly informed the Three Sects and the city's people of his plans . Lu Sheng ordered his Prime Devil Sect subordinates to cooperate with him . He went out of the Devil Palace and stomped his feet on the ground before the doors . Black Devil Qi spread out and carried him up toward the skies . He flew in an easterly direction .
He flew past the city . Clouds of thick smoke wafted up from the city below, forming black smoke columns . The seawater which Lu Sheng conjured up still lingered among the ruins . This made the city appear as if a group of buildings on the water's surface was burning .
Occasionally, he could see some survivors crying their hearts out as they clung onto flotsam .
