Way of the Devil - Chapter 638

Chapter 638: 638

Yellow Springs Planet Number 7 .

The pale yellow planet swiveled slowly in the pitch-black universe . A bright yellow light belt surrounded the planet .

About a dozen spots of light could be seen glowing with white fluorescent light among the light belt .

This was the area under the Mother of Pain’s jurisdiction . It was the planet located nearest to the edge, and it was also the planet closest to the Green Branch Sect .

Time ticked away…

After an uncertain period of time, a dozen light greenish spots of light suddenly appeared in the dark starry skies .

In the beginning, these spots of light were dim . One would even miss them unless one paid attention . However, a few minutes later, they grew brighter and closer .

“Whoosh!”

A huge green flying warship suddenly emerged from the dark void like a flying sword . It was as if the flying warship had jumped from a faraway area to the vicinity of the Yellow Springs Planet .

There was a layer of slanting and transparent barrier on the flying warship . Through the barrier, countless densely packed green runes could be seen . Also, a white-haired old man was sitting in an upright position with his hands on his knees .

The old man wore black combat outfit . His shoulders were adorned with exquisite patterns of green three-leafed clovers, which was the emblem of the Green Branch Sect . His body was also well-built .

However, the most eye-catching feature was a pitch-black third eye which was slowly opening in the middle of his forehead .

This person was merely sitting stately on the flying warship, yet he was giving off a powerful aura that was unshakable as a mountain and as profound as a deep lake .

“Pchht!”

A rectangular protrusion on the ship’s inner wall slowly glowed silver .

“Bzz, bzz… Elder, we’ll reach the border planet of the Mother of Pain soon . ” A calm man’s voice came from the silver light . It sounded exceptionally steady despite the slight disturbance from the static .

A hint of silver flashed across the old man’s third eye .

“All hands, get ready . Get into the wind formation! Rifle Art!”

“Roger!” Instantly, a dozen voices sounded from the flying warship’s inner wall .

There were a dozen green flying warships in the starry skies in total, and this included the flying warship the old man was currently on . Transparent rings rose from the flying warships . Unstable silvery-black radiance started gathering on the points of their bows .

“Fire!” A deep shout suddenly sounded .

“Pchht!”

The clusters of radiance seemed to have morphed into spears as they poured out . The silvery-black spears instantly converged and formed a giant spear which was tens of thousands of meters long .

The spear merely appeared for an instant in the void before stabbing into the surface of the Yellow Springs Planet .

A black spot started appearing on the dark yellow planet . Then, the black spot kept enlarging .

“Boom!”

The black spot instantly erupted into a cluster of silvery-black flames . At least a sixth of the planet was blown away .

The three-eyed elder led the armada of a dozen flying warships in a dive into the Yellow Springs Planet’s atmosphere .

The Green Branch Sect started the war without an official declaration all of a sudden . It brazenly invaded Yellow Springs Planet Number 7 which was under the Mother of Pain’s jurisdiction .

The war seemed to have spread throughout the entire Yellow Springs system in just a few days . There was a total of 13 Yellow Springs Planets . At least two of them were completely destroyed in the first day of the conflict .

**********************

Lu Sheng cleaned up the remaining traces of his Arrival . When he reemerged, it was already the afternoon of the next day .

He designed a simple temperature-maintaining formation to condition his own courtyard’s temperature .

Then, he went out and bought some ordinary materials he needed to set up a simple isolation formation .

Lu Sheng spent the entire night to completely seal off this house he’d bought in Libra City’s main city with formations .

Although his formations were not too powerful, and he merely set up ordinary formations, they were still capable of sealing off sound and smell .

He spent all his ice money savings to buy this house . Lu Sheng planned to make this his base and settle down in Libra City .

Although he joined the Red Moon Disciples, there were no obligations . All he had to do was to attend the Red Moon gathering once a month and listen to the preaching of the head disciples .

One month in Libra City lasted forty days . There were no such things as longer or shorter months . Every month was of the same standard length, forty days .

On the third day after his recent Arrival ended, Lu Sheng went out on his own to gather information .

He had enough Mental Energy, but he needed various materials to improve and achieve breakthroughs . The next stage of his Infinity Technique required rarer materials . He had to look for them carefully .

Fortunately, almost everything could be found in Libra City . Unless it was some super rare object, most of the things that the customers looked for were sold in larger shops .

However, after carrying out a single Arrival, Lu Sheng had spent all his ice money . On top of that, he had to pay a monthly fee as a Red Moon Disciple . He also needed a huge sum of money to purchase the Scarlet River Method . Hence, he had to earn more .

Coincidentally, there was a shop with flourishing business in an area of Libra City close to his house . The shop’s name was Eight Things . The shop sold various cultivation materials needed by all sorts of cultivators .

There was a dedicated information booth at the entrance to Eight Things . Various important information in Libra City was freely distributed there . Lu Sheng had limited sources for news . When he discovered this place, he frequently came to check the information there .

It was early in the morning on the tenth day of his return .

Lu Sheng slowly assimilated the Instant Destruction Fist Art he’d obtained from his previous Arrival into his main body’s system . His martial path tier, which had been stagnant up until now, finally broken through to the grandmaster level .

Feeling refreshed, he decided to sit down at the information booth less than 30 meters away . He enjoyed his drink while he browsed through the various information flyers available at the information booth .

There were many others who did the same . However, unlike him, the other inhabitants had been living here for decades or even centuries . The conversations they had were casual and relaxed .

Even if there were others who joined Libra City afterward and bought a house to stay in, they were the minority here .

At least 90% of those rich enough to buy a house here were old people who had been living here for quite some time .

Lu Sheng sat down and ordered two cups of iced dates syrup . Then, he took a stack of the Libra Daily and various advertising flyers, which he placed on his table . He started to filter through the available materials in search of jobs that could bring him money .

Inside the main city, he could not be as unscrupulous as he was in the other Wards . They were under strict supervision here . The strength of the upper echelons was formidable . The surveillance network and police network were virtually flawless, and no loopholes could be found .

Lu Sheng decided to find an actual job and work to support his expenses .

“Blood Spirit Collector . Head to the planets around Libra City to collect and refine blood spirits there . The quota is 10 individuals per month . The payment will be 3,000 ice money per month, and payment will be issued annually . ”

“Suppress Evil Spirits . Hands are needed at five major Evil Spirit leaking points in the city . Calling elites to go as reinforcement . The salary is 5,000 ice money, and the spoils will be distributed according to one’s contribution . ”

“Ten Thousand Dew Army Recruiting…”Read the next chapter on our vipnovel . com

“White Stream Army Recruiting…”

“Era Merchant Alliance’s Cordial Invitation…”

Lu Sheng kept placing the advertisement flyers to the side . These either paid too little or were too far away that he could not return to the main city easily .

Currently, Lu Sheng’s greatest skill was his medical skills . If he could find a job related to healthcare, he reckoned that he could earn more ice money .

“I heard that the Yellow Springs Planet Number 7 is destroyed . I wonder if it’s true . ” The casual conversation of some of the civilians reached Lu Sheng’s ears .

“The Green Branch Sect is amazing . The sect master has great skill and strategy, while his subordinates are highly talented . Also, they’ve been recruiting new members every year, it’s no wonder that they wanted to expand their territory . ”

“However, that move was slightly uncalled for . Quite a number of planets have been destroyed just like that . I heard that one of Green Branch Sect’s three great deputy sect masters had personally led the attacks . ”

The conversing people were young individuals in good-looking clothes . However, their cultivation bases were nothing to be impressed with . Libra City did have extremely strict standards, but the official inhabitants who passed the tests had their own families as well . Although these family members would not enjoy the same benefits as the actual inhabitants, they were allowed to stay here indefinitely .

These few people did not have profound cultivation bases and they spoke with careless attitudes . They were clearly the family members of the official inhabitants . In truth, people like them made up the bulk of the population in Libra City .

“These great Void Underworld beings had lived for tens of thousands of years . They truly had no scruples . They would just attack on a whim . They would not even care about the face of the other party . Aren’t they worried about the war between them escalating into a full-blown war?”

“You’re thinking too much . For the great beings of the Void Underworld-tier, especially the Heavenly Devils, if you can’t find their Heart World, you can kiss killing even one of them goodbye . ”

The people continued their casual discussion .

Lu Sheng had found it strange at first . He wondered why they did not discuss this with voice projection, since this was such an important piece of information .

However, when the customers from the other tables started discussing this matter as well, Lu Sheng understood that this matter was not a secret . Someone had intentionally leaked it out .

The Green Branch Sect was far away from here . For news of them to reach this place, someone must have promoted it behind the scenes . Regardless of the person’s objectives, this matter was definitely not simple .

He calmed down and continued browsing the advertisements for a while . In the end, he could not find a suitable job .

Lu Sheng remembered the dagger Mi Guangyin gave him .

He did not use the dagger when he returned . He was worried that he might run into trouble by going there rashly .

Also, he needed more time to research this Iron Flag Council .

However, throughout his investigation, whether he actively approached people or flipped through the various newspapers, nobody knew anything about the Iron Flag Council .

He did not find any job, but he did hear much about the fight between the Green Branch Sect and the Mother of Pain .

Lu Sheng put the advertisements in his hands down on the table . He could already guess why the Green Branch Sect was acting against the Mother of Pain .

After he’d set up the Eight-Headed Griffon, the Sky Cloud Pavilion and the entire planet was destroyed . There was no way that the Green Branch Sect would leave it at that . He reckoned that this issue was only a catalyst . On top of that, there had been many conflicts between the two sides, and that was why they suddenly engaged each other in war .

However, with the start of this war, Lu Sheng was starting to worry about his family and sect members on the Yellow Springs Planet .

He sat at the information booth for a while longer . He gained nothing today . Lu Sheng stood up and was just about to leave .

A staff member of the information booth walked up to him .

“Excuse me, sir . According to your registration profile, you’re quite established in the medical field, am I right?”

Lu Sheng nodded . He wanted to find a job, so he registered himself at the registration booth and listed his specialty . If there were suitable jobs, the information booth would distribute the tasks to the matching talent .

This was also a special investment move by Eight Things .

“There’s a request for talents in the medical field . The pay is handsome . If you’re willing, why don’t you take a look at the requirements?” The staff member passed Lu Sheng a flyer .
