Chapter 756: Plot (1)

Outside the abandoned manor .





The white fox leapt lightly and landed on a thick branch .

“I should be able to take care of him by using that clone’s strength . However, we’ll have to think about the issues that’ll surely arise after we’ve dealt with the envoy . The main sect won’t let this matter rest . ”

“Of course . However, as long as the Mother of Pain stands her ground, we’ll be safe . ” From a nearby tree, a black python as thick as a water bucket slithered out . Its eyes were like two blots of ink; they were extremely black .

“However… that envoy . I can’t help but feel that I’ve seen him somewhere before… He looked familiar…” The white fox had an unexplainable anxious feeling in his heart .

“Perhaps we’ve met him when we were harvesting souls with the daughter body?” the huge python asked .

The white fox thought to itself . It then opened its mouth to answer .

“Rumble!”

Suddenly, there was a loud noise . The ground started shaking .

“What’s happening?!” The three of them quickly balanced themselves .

“This is bad! The daughter body is destroyed! Run!” Suddenly, the huge python’s eyes widened with terror . In the blink of an eye, it shot far away like a black arc of lightning .

The white fox and black hen did not waste any time, either . One of them leapt onto a tree, while the other tunneled into the ground .

However, they were too late .

“Pchht! Pchht! Pchht! Pchht!”

Innumerable black lightning bolts burst forth from the center of the manor . Like pitch-black cracks, the crooked lightning bolts spread and covered an area of several hundred meters .

The black hen, white fox, and huge python merely managed to run for a dozen meters before the black lightning outstripped them . They were instantly burned to a crisp, and exploded into black dust .

A black sphere of light hovered above the manor .

“Pooh!”

Suddenly, an arm protruded from the sphere . Then, there was a second arm, a third…

Arms kept reaching out from the black sphere . They grabbed at the surface of the sphere and pulled .

With a tearing sound, a huge rift several meters wide was torn in the surface of the sphere .





Lu Sheng climbed slowly out of the sphere . His dozen pairs of arms made him appear like a centipede as he held onto the black sphere . The six eyes on his three faces burned with six spots of golden flames .

Through the crack behind him, countless corpses and fragments of the Evil Spirits were scattered throughout the valley like snowflakes .

One of the huge insects with a shriveled old lady’s head was being torn to pieces . The dismembered body parts were still wriggling on the ground .

“Launch that thing on me, will you? I’ll show you…” Lu Sheng’s immense body crawled out of the black sphere and landed on the ground .

He looked around him, but could not see any traces of the three animals .

“Hm?”

In order to break the alien dimension he was in, he had poured slightly more of his strength than usual . Some of his power must have leaked out .

Now that he was free, he was slightly surprised with not finding the three animals here .

Lu Sheng spread his spirit power outward, which covered an area of 1,000 kilometers in the blink of an eye . He reckoned that this range should be enough . He was worried that he might trigger the Black Measure Web’s defense system and would expose himself .

However, he could not find any trace of the three animals from the Three Sacred Gates even after covering such a wide range .

“They’re sure quick to run . ” Lu Sheng, feeling slightly disgruntled, restored his appearance to that of an ordinary human . He walked out of the manor .

His surroundings were a mess . Charred marks left by the black lightning bolts could be seen everywhere . Pits were also blown out of the ground from the impacts .

Several modified people slowly showed themselves from their hiding places . They gathered around him .

“President!” The leader of the modified people had a charred arm . However, perhaps it was because his powers were from the same source as Lu Sheng’s main body, the arm was healing quickly .

“We shouldn’t linger here . Let’s go . ” Lu Sheng looked around at his surroundings . He no longer sensed the aura of the Three Sacred Gates .

“Understood!”

The modified people were still feeling the shock from witnessing the black lightning just now . When they heard the command, they crowded around Lu Sheng and retreated .

After returning to the research society’s headquarters, Lu Sheng immediately recruited the victims of unfortunate accidents who bore grudges in their hearts . This was done in secret .

These people bore deep grudges, possibly due to the Anomalies, their own ideals, or being oppressed . Their willpower was far superior to ordinary people’s .

Coincidentally, Lu Sheng received a coded message from the Green Branch Sect . The preparations in the Other World were done . It was time for them to kick things into high gear .





After receiving the message, Lu Sheng created another batch of implants by combining his main body’s cells and Moonsilver . The modification procedure could be easily completed by simply implanting these into the bodies of the modified people . The technique was mature now .

Then, he began preparing to head toward Great Yin . He had no other intentions besides to meet his old friend, Li Shunxi .

If he asked for Li Shunxi’s help from Great Yin’s side, he might be making much more progress compared to things on Great Song’s side .

However, at this moment, an unexpected guest came and disrupted his plans .

***

Top floor of the Anomaly News Block .

Lu Sheng leaned back on his leather chair with his legs crossed . He gazed sideways at the gray skies and the slight drizzle .


“Looks like you’re having it well . ” A person joined him . The person sat nicely on a seat and looked at Lu Sheng with a complicated expression .

This person had long snow-white hair and white brows . The person wore long pitch-black silk robes embroidered with divine beasts and monsters of unknown names . The black and red motifs were reminiscent of descriptions of war and carnage .

Most importantly, the person was a female . This was a woman Lu Sheng once knew very well .

“It’s been a long time, Jiuli . I see you’re still as impatient as ever . You didn’t even bother to verify the news of my arrival before rushing over to meet me . ” Lu Sheng turned to face her . He had a strange smile .

Shangyang Jiuli admitted that she had had her doubts before this . Now that she had verified it herself, she could hardly describe the waves of terror she felt within herself .

Lu Sheng, this man who moved like a ghost god . In slightly more than a decade, he had progressed from rising to fame to having a might that dominated the heavens .

Previously, in the northern lands, she had thought that she was already thinking highly of him . However, she did not expect that under the appearance of being unable to harm humans or livestock, this man was as terrifying as a primordial beast .

Shangyang Jiuli paused before softly asking, “It has been many years . I heard that you’ve gone to Great Yin . What happened? Why did you think about coming back?”

“Naturally, I have my reasons for coming back . ” Lu Sheng wore a gentle smile . “However, I’m almost done with what I have to do . I was preparing to go to Great Yin, but I didn’t expect you to find me out . ”

“You’re leaving again? Well, Great Song is too small for you . ” After cultivating for 100 years, Shangyang Jiuli was now a peak expert among the Weapon Masters . However, even with this strength, she could not help but find it difficult to breathe before Lu Sheng .

“Won’t you come with me?” Lu Sheng said . “With my current arrangements, I can take a passenger or two . ”

At his current stage, Lu Sheng would not be stingy in helping out his old friend . Moreover, Shangyang Jiuli was highly gifted and strong-willed . If she had a suitable platform, she would not have any problem attaining a higher rank .

This world, controlled by the Mother of Pain, was what was holding her back .





“Go with you? Leave?” Shangyang Jiuli was taken aback . Currently, she was the head of the Shangyang Family . Shangyang Fei had mysteriously disappeared, and she had survived the Devil Disaster . Hence, she was now the most powerful person from the previous era .

Shangyang Jiuli looked at the unfathomable, mysterious Lu Sheng before her . She could not help but hesitate .

She understood that if she followed this man, she would probably land herself in more trouble . In terms of progress alone, when Lu Sheng left Great Song back then, he was already much more powerful than she was now . On top of that, he had been in Great Yin for so long, more than a century, even . There was no telling how powerful he had become .

If she followed him, she would have a high possibility of improving her own strength, but…

“There’s no hurry . You should think it through . ” Lu Sheng actually intended to establish an organization that specialized in Anomaly research .

The Anomalies could not be destroyed . This was not a phenomenon unique to the planets under the Mother of Pain’s charge . They existed on the other planets as well, albeit sparser .

Also, the Anomalies slowly grew in size and numbers .

Lu Sheng’s worry was that the Anomalies would one day occupy the environment currently inhabited by the living creatures . The entire world might eventually be transformed into the dangerous and peculiar environment of the Anomalies .

The Anomalies were like patients with terminal illnesses . They were usually covered in boils and tumors .

Suddenly, Lu Sheng had an idea .

‘Perhaps the so-called Anomalies… are actually symptoms that the universe is sick?’

He felt that he should establish an information network and carefully study this .

At this moment, Shangyang Jiuli was done with her considerations .

“I’m sorry, I have my grandchildren to think about . Not to mention that there’s my entire family whom I have to protect…”

“You’re married?” Lu Sheng asked, surprised .

Shangyang Jiuli nodded .

“I’ve married 60 years ago . ”

With familial commitments, she could no longer move as freely as she did . Lu Sheng wasted to more words to persuade her .

“If that’s the case, I’d like to ask you to maintain the research society’s progress . ” He flicked his finger . A water droplet morphed into a light golden mark and imprinted itself on the back of Shangyang Jiuli’s hand .

“We’ll meet again, worry not . ” His voice barely faded when he started vanishing from his seat .

Shangyang Jiuli glanced at the droplet-shaped mark on the back of her hand . She could not explain the slightly depressing feeling she felt .

***

Great Yin . Feiliu Riverside .

Li Shunxi stood silently on a skiff . He wore a gray-white tunic and folded his hands behind himself as he looked up at the starry skies .

The night breeze made his beard, which dangled before his chest, sway slightly .

“What a pleasant night with a slight breeze and autumn dew, but the refreshing wind chills the sinew…” He heaved a long sigh as he raised the information sheet he had just received from Great Song’s Three Sacred Gates .

“Great Song’s Three Sacred Gates… Big Brother Lu Sheng…” A mysterious organization by the name of Anomaly Research Society had suddenly rose to prominence . The name of its president was surprisingly Lu Sheng .

Li Shunxi, who had been searching for him for a long time, swiftly found his whereabouts . Then, he sent his men to observe him and produce a portrait of the man .

The portrait was exactly as Li Shunxi had expected it to look . The man was Lu Sheng who had gone missing for more than a century .

More than 30 years ago, when his teacher’s immortal footsteps became barely discernible, Li Shunxi had taken over the helm of one of the Three Sacred Gates .

With his current strength, he was truly fit to lead the Sacred Gate . Aside from his slightly indecisive nature, the Sacred Gate he led progressed far better than the two other gates throughout his tenure .

In 20 short years, he was practically in charge of Great Yin’s Three Sacred Gates . The other two Divine Kings had lost their right to speak up a long time ago .

The Three Sacred Gates slowly progressed from a half-hidden organization to a formidable organization which worked closely with Great Yin .

After the great disaster, Great Yin was reborn from the ashes . The new royals had smoothly ascended the throne thanks to Li Shunxi .

However, he was finding his current life increasingly dry .
