Way of the Devil - Chapter 664

Chapter 664: 664

Lu Sheng waited on the spot for about 10 minutes . Then, he saw a flashy golden flowing light flying toward himself .

The imam Men Fa’s breathing was slightly ragged . When he saw Lu Sheng’s condition, his expression changed drastically .

“The audacity! To think that someone is bold enough to harm a Red Moon Disciple on this Wangshan Planet! They’re asking for death, they are!”

Naturally, he could tell that Lu Sheng’s wounds were only superficial . However, injuring a disciple was a grave crime .

They were rich, yet they harmed his subordinate when his subordinate clearly declared that he was from the Red Moon Cult . He could not accept that .

When the imam arrived, he immediately asked Lu Sheng some questions .

“You’ve worked hard . Rest well and tend to your wounds when you get back . The red moon knows about your contribution for sure . Also, are you sure that they have mystery crystals in there?”

“Uh… I might be mistaken, but I think that even if they don’t have mystery crystals, they must have other valuable objects in there . The formation around this fort alone will at least cost several hundred thousand ice money to operate!” Lu Sheng knew a thing or two about formations . He made a rough estimation of cost .

“Several hundred thousand?” The imam’s breathing grew heavier again .

“Alright… That’s enough… You’re done here, go back and tend to your wounds . ” He glanced at Lu Sheng impatiently and waved his hand .

“Understood . I’ll return now . Please be careful, Imam!” Lu Sheng displayed a look of reluctance on his face . However, when he saw the imam Men Fa casting him a cold and threatening gaze, he had no choice but to turn and leave the place .

Before he went far, he heard a deafening explosion behind him .

He turned around to look . He saw a white mushroom cloud emerge from where the fort was . The plumes scattered everywhere and emitted light blue fluorescent glows .

“That was fast . ” Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes . He wrapped the Scarlet River Seed on his arm with his Yang Essence . After sealing it off from detection, he turned around and shot toward the fort .

Before long, he saw the imam flying back with a satisfied expression . He seemed to be wielding a silver cube in his hand .

The fort was nowhere to be seen .

Lu Sheng hid at the side for a while and waited for the imam to pass him by . Then, he swiftly dashed out and searched around the location where the fort was .

There was nothing among the grayish-white ruins . There were only fleshy gelatin-like substances .

There were a few scattered limbs in his surroundings . There was also a huge black symbol which seemed to be the cult’s emblem . It had been damaged; only half of it was left lying on the ground .

Lu Sheng went around the place and found nothing . He returned his attention to the black mark .

‘The other valuable items have been taken away . Looks like this is the only thing left…’ He could sense the boiling and surging wails of countless wronged souls from it .

Although the fluctuations were weak, it was better than nothing .

Lu Sheng gave it some thought . He quickly walked up to the mark and pressed a palm against it .

“Hiss…”

The Mental Energy surged greatly into his body like a liquified swarm of bees .

1000, 2000, 3000…

In a few short minutes, tens of thousands of Mental Energy units have surged into his body . However, that was all . The mark seemed to have been damaged . That was all the Mental Energy he could absorb from it .

He felt slightly dissatisfied . He took a risk and summoned the imam here, yet this was all he got . He was now of the opinion that he should not have called the imam .

After sifting through the ruins, he suddenly heard a soft voice from one of the corners .

“Keh keh, keh keh…” Someone was coughing .

Lu Sheng swiftly identified the direction the sound came from . He looked around him, and his gaze rested on a pile of rubble to his right .

He swung an arm . An invisible force pushed the rubble away .

Underneath the rubble lay a white-haired girl whose body had grayish spots . The girl seemed to be in a daze . Her pale blue eyes had nothing but confusion in them .

The girl raised her head and looked at Lu Sheng, who was coming closer, as she asked, “Who… are you?”

Lu Sheng looked around him . There was nobody in the surroundings . He did not pick up any signals from life forms with his spirit’s scan . However, this girl was right before him, yet he could not sense her at all . If he had not seen her, he would have thought that there was nobody here .

‘Should I kill her?’ He hesitated . He was a kind person[1 . ED/N: Let’s just say, kind as opposed to evil… and that not by much . ], after all . He had his own bottom line .

“Let’s go . ” Black Qi emanated from Lu Sheng’s body which enveloped the girl . He leapt into the air, and the two of them were far away in the blink of an eye .

**********

A scarlet bonfire danced and burned in the cave at night .

Lu Sheng, who squatted beside the fire, carefully roasted a juicy ghost crab pincer . The flesh of this huge pincer was heavenly . Just a simple roast over the fire brought out its exceptionally sweet aroma .

“Tell me, who are you? Why were you there in the fort?” Lu Sheng’s instincts told him that this girl was not ordinary .

The girl hugged her knees as she stared blankly at the dancing flames .

“I’m a Silverblood . My name’s Toram Bach . ”

“A Silverblood!?” Lu Sheng’s heart skipped a beat .

Silverbloods were legendary real poison people who could not be cured . The potent poison within their bodies was the most powerful of known toxins . There was no antidote for that .

Silverbloods were extremely rare . They were mutants . Hence, they were only beings of legends, for the most part . Nobody had ever laid eyes on one yet .

Lu Sheng did not expect that he would be able to capture a member of a legendary rare tribe .

“Where’s your home?” he asked, trying to strike up a conversation .

“I don’t know… I’m an Anomaly . You should know, after an Anomaly dies several times, their memories fade . I don’t even know what I looked like before,” said the girl drily .

“But you remembered your name . ”

“That’s the name they gave me . ”

“They?”

“A woman by the name of Lu Rong . ”

Lu Sheng kept asking questions casually . If this girl was truly an Anomaly, then she could not be killed . She would just respawn after a certain period of time, just like Yinyin .

On top of that, she was a rare Silverblood . With this, it was possible to obtain an endless supply of blood .

The people of the Natash Merchant Alliance must have treated her as a ceaseless source of wealth as they kept extracting the extremely poisonous silver blood .

“You want some blood? If you bleed me dry, I’ll need a week to recover . ” Toram Bach raised her arm and looked at Lu Sheng .

“No, I’m not that kind of person . ” Lu Sheng shook his head . “Is there anywhere you’d like to go to?”

“No . ”

“Follow me, then . It just so happens that I need someone to help me . ” Lu Sheng gave it some thought . There was an advantage to being an Anomaly: they could not die .

Once they appeared, they could continue existing for many, many years . Their lifespans were much longer than normal humans’ .

He could not think of a way to find a place for Toram Bach for now . Lu Sheng decided to bring her along as he rendezvoused with the other Red Moon Disciples . They followed the imam Men Fa and continued looting the area .

After looting a dozen spots, and after Lu Sheng gained more than 300,000 Mental Energy units, there was practically nothing left here .

The wanted criminal of the Veron Clan was also dealt with by Men Fa . The entire mission went smoothly .

The only difference from when they came was that Lu Sheng now had a Silverblood, Toram Bach, in tow .

The others thought that Toram Bach was a servant girl he bought from the slave market .

Lu Sheng decided to use her as a maid . He had her clean the yard and take on simple tasks like cleaning formations .

After reaching the Confusion Realm, Lu Sheng constantly sat silently to cultivate his spirit . He wanted to stabilize his mental and spiritual fluctuations after the rank-up .

Then, he accepted a dozen missions as a Red Moon Disciple . He finished off assisted hunting missions for over a dozen years in one go .

Because of his hardworking performance and high success rates, Lu Sheng was swiftly promoted to an imam after two months .

He was also starting to get used to his various improved abilities after he attained the Confusion Realm .

Although Lu Sheng merely displayed his strength as a Weapon Grandmaster, the three great factions within Libra City’s Red Moon Disciples contacted him on separate occasions . They each wanted to have him on their side .

A Weapon Grandmaster was considered a small-time elite in Libra City .

Moreover, Lu Sheng was a Heavenly Devil . This information was not concealed in Libra City’s information system . Heavenly Devils needed to carry out Arrivals every once in a while . The fluctuations from the formation could not possibly be contained .

Lu Sheng was in no hurry . Now that his strength was slightly stabilized, he started to build up his accumulation . Due to his promotion to an imam, he gradually started to form his own little circle . More aptly put, it was a little circle which belonged to imams .

…… .

Lu Sheng sat in his yard . He drank hot tea from a cup . He had just finished a bounty mission, and came back from the place of another imam .

Recently, because of Lu Sheng’s wonderful medical art, he started having some simple connections with several Red Moon imams who lived nearby .

Among the imams was Men Fa . This imam had enjoyed great benefits last time . Lu Sheng’s promotion was in part due to Men Fa returning the favor .

‘An imam’s authority is something else . I can even obtain all skill formulas of the Weapon Grandmaster tier and below for free . Also, I can enjoy a 20% discount on anything sold within the cult . The rewards of the missions are much higher as well . ’ Lu Sheng sat on the rock bench while organizing his thoughts .

‘I’ve progressed through two fundamental tiers of the Confusion Realm . I’m now close to mastery . The next step I should be taking is to prepare myself to rank up to the Void Underworld tier . ’

“Void Underworld, huh…” Lu Sheng sighed .

The East Park Autumn Dew Fertilizing Method was comprehensive enough . It contained the method to attain the weakest level of the Void Underworld tier .

The most important part of the Void Underworld tier was to establish the cycle of his own body’s energy, the alternation between corporeal and incorporeal .

In the Heavenly Devil’s system, this was equivalent to establishing a reincarnation cycle in his Heart World .

‘To establish the incarnation cycle, I’ll have to gather insight into the reincarnation heart . After I’ve gathered insight on the reincarnation heart, I’ll be able to work on reincarnation spiritual power . ’

Lu Sheng recalled the fertilizing method in his mind . The assortment of fertilizing special effects aside, this skill formula’s main structure was actually good .

The reincarnation heart required him to have an understanding and experience of a complete reincarnation cycle of life . Then, he would have to gain insight on the nature of the cycle of life .

For the Confusion Realm beings who had lived for tens of thousands of years, this amount of knowledge naturally meant nothing . The only thing they needed to do was to recall their own memories carefully and search for inspirations and insights .

However, Lu Sheng was different . Although he was a traveler, he had never had a complete experience of the cycle of life from birth to old age and then death .

‘I’ve experienced being reborn after dying . However, when I died last time, I was a strong, young man . I’m also nowhere near my old age right now . ’

After weighing his options, Lu Sheng knew that the key was for him to gain more from carrying out Arrivals .
