Just as the two of them were getting closer and closer, they could take action at any time.
"Brother Lu."
Xiao Hongye's voice came from inside the gate.
"It's all a misunderstanding. This is a servant of the officiant. I didn't know our relationship before. The officiant came all the way here just to preside over the overall situation."
Xiao Hongye slowly opened the door and glanced at the formation outside, "Master Priest, please come in and talk."
Officiant??
Lu Sheng didn't expect that there would be an extra officiant for no apparent reason.
He squinted at Xiao Hongye and the one-eyed old man. Since he was the chief priest of Wuyou Mansion, judging from Xiao Hongye's performance, he was definitely a person with a higher status than him.
He hesitated for a moment, held back the anger in his heart, and slowly withdrew the energy in his hands.
"Okay, it just so happens that I need to ask for advice on some matters. Everyone, please wait outside!"
After giving instructions to the gang, he strode in through the space left by the two of them.
Xiao Hongye had a smile on her face, but there was a strange look in her eyes. He didn't expect that Lu Sheng could still bear it after reaching this point.
When Lu Sheng entered the courtyard, the first thing he saw was the white-haired old man sitting in the middle of the courtyard, holding a jar of wine in his hand.
The old man has a majestic appearance. Although his beard and hair are white, he is as powerful as a mad lion. His muscles are strong, just like the strong body of a strong man.
The most important thing is that as soon as Lu Sheng entered the door, he felt a hint of danger lingering in the courtyard.
He squinted his eyes. He hadn't felt this kind of aura for a long time. Ever since he reached the anode state, his strength had soared. Not even the Red Square Umbrella Girl could give him such a sense of threat.
"I have received the list sent by Gang Leader Lu, which is good.
In addition, when the old man saw that the man who delivered the message had firm flesh, he couldn't help but grab it and roast it for a while. I think it's just a mortal, so the gang leader shouldn't mind, right?" The old man officiating the ceremony stared at Lu Sheng with a smile on his face.
The moment his eyes fell on him, Lu Sheng suddenly felt numb all over, as if he was being stared at by some ferocious beast. His body trembled violently, and it spontaneously began to speed up. It seemed that he also felt a serious threat.
This numb feeling all over his body was still the shudder he had when he first encountered a ghost.
Lu Sheng knew in his heart that he would only feel this way when he encountered an existence that he was absolutely unable to match.
Very strong!
His heart was boiling, but he had to suppress it. His previous idea of taking action directly was suppressed.
‘This person is definitely the top expert in Wuyou Mansion, the person who comes to preside over the ritual ceremony. This kind of threat will definitely not be my opponent now!
Now that I have the Shangyang family behind me, he must not dare to attack me at will.'
He already understood that this matter was a trap set for him, or another temptation. Duan Meng'an was just implicated and suffered an unreasonable disaster. The other party's real purpose was himself.
Standing on the same spot, the inner energy in his body rotated faster and faster, and a burning sensation spread faintly around him.
After a few breaths.
Lu Shengcai suppressed his anger and replied slowly and lowly: "Of course he is just a mortal. If you don't mind, the officiant doesn't need to worry."
His face was calm, and there was no expression on his face. But his heart was already boiling violently, and traces of murderous intent could not be suppressed and were getting heavier and heavier in his heart.
Wuyou Mansion, it was okay to test once before, but now the second test actually killed one of his cronies, will he destroy the Lu family next time?
The officiant nodded and said with a smile: "The leader of the Lu Gang knows the general idea. Not bad. Okay, if there is nothing else, why don't you sit down and have a drink together? This wine and meat are my craftsmanship, and ordinary people have no chance to eat them."
From the corner of his eye, Lu Sheng caught a glimpse of a bloody corpse hanging on a tree not far away. An old servant, also gray-haired, was cutting off strips of fresh meat from the body with a knife.
He recognized at a glance that the corpse was that of Duan Meng'an, and when he saw the old man officiating as he discussed the smell of livestock, his heart became even colder.
"No need. Since this is a misunderstanding, I just need to clear it up. I won't disturb the officiant's pleasure. I'll take my leave first." He lowered his head and said calmly.
"That's fine. Leader Lu will send a message to Jiu Li's niece on behalf of the old man, asking her to come and sit here when she has time. I will also stay at Messenger Xiao's place permanently from now on." The chief priest said with a smile.
"I'll definitely bring him here." Lu Sheng nodded, then respectfully stepped back.
When turning around, he glanced at the corpse for the last time. Scarlet blood dripped down Duan Meng'an's head. He was hung upside down on the tree trunk, his feet were tied together, and iron hooks were used to penetrate the soles of his feet, as if
Just like pigs and sheep, the abdominal cavity has been opened, and there are also a lot of internal organs inside. Maybe they have been removed, maybe they have been eaten.
There were stacks of fried and grilled meat dishes placed on the stone table in front of the chief priest, perhaps his meat.
Looking back, Lu Sheng's heart became colder and colder.
"It's easy to go, Master." The one-eyed old man smiled at him, lowered his head and looked respectful.
Lu Sheng glanced at him steadily and walked quickly past him.
After walking out of the door, he gave a cold shout to the three elders.
"withdraw!"
Everyone didn't know what was going on. When they saw the gang leader going in and then coming out again with a calm expression on his face, they didn't get an explanation, so they asked people to evacuate.
Although Zhang Er was confused, but out of trust in Lu Sheng, everyone quickly retreated. The generals of the city guard also came up to greet and salute, and then retreated.
After Lu Sheng left, in the courtyard of Xiao Mansion, the chief priest stood up and the smile on his face faded.
"This man is very strong. Even among the noble families, he is one of the best. In a barren place like the North, it is not an exaggeration to be called the number one master." He then looked at the empty space on the other side. "How? It's him.
?"
Bai Jing stepped out in a black dress.
"There is some resemblance, but the difference is a bit big, and it is not very consistent with the clues obtained. It cannot be completely determined yet."
"Bai Jing, you are always so procrastinating in doing things." A tall and thin white-faced scholar also walked out of the main hall. "I got some good information."
"Envoy of power, please speak." The officiant looked at the scholar.
The scholar looked at Bai Jing proudly.
"I just got the news that this gang leader will meet with Li Shunxi in a while to trade something. The time and place have been determined."
"Oh? Is the news true?" the officiant's eyes lit up.
"It's absolutely true. This news was learned by Quan himself from someone close to Li Shunxi." Envoy Quan said with a proud smile. "Wu Meng was also involved."
"It actually involves the Martial Alliance? These rats from the Martial Alliance can be caught in one fell swoop!" The officiant suddenly showed interest, "Where is the time and place?"
"Outside the city, at the foot of the east mountain, at the mouth of the Windless Valley. The time is five days from now, at noon."
Bang!!
Lu Sheng slapped the wooden wall next to him hard, causing a gap the size of a washbasin to appear.
"Wuyou Mansion!" He said every word with a green complexion.
As soon as he returned to the gang, he directly announced Duan Meng'an's matter to the gang, and fabricated the story that Duan Meng'an's death had nothing to do with the Xiao Mansion. There was another reason, which was under investigation.
This can be regarded as stabilizing the doubts in the hearts of the gang members.
Although everyone's doubts were calmed, Lu Sheng himself was very angry. The Wuyou Mansion was aggressive and acted unscrupulously. If it weren't for the Shangyang family behind him, the chief priest might have torn him apart on the spot. No wonder before that
There are so many people who dare to perform blood sacrifices openly.
Lu Sheng could feel that the gap between him and the old man was obvious. When facing the other party, the energy in his body spontaneously started to circulate rapidly to resist the stasis poison naturally emitted from the other party. The stasis poison was so powerful that it even
The air within a certain range around the body can also be affected.
"It seems we still can't relax." Lu Sheng's eyes became dark again, "Let's increase the inner energy first and try to liquefy it. I can't wait any longer. Strength, I need more strength!"
"Come here! Inform Yu Lianzi that I want to retreat, and he will decide all the help. No one can disturb me before I leave the retreat." Lu Sheng called his personal guards and gave instructions.
"yes!"
Help everyone go down quickly and report.
Lu Sheng packed up his things and medicine and went directly to the special retreat room on the Red Whale. It was a special room made entirely of steel.
Lu Sheng prepared everything, brought it in, closed the quiet room tightly, and sat down cross-legged.
"Deep Blue." He called out the modifier directly.
A light blue box suddenly appeared. Lu Sheng's eyes immediately fell on the most conspicuous column of Chiji Jiusha Gong.
‘Do you want to conduct martial arts deductions?’ A dialog box pops up asking.
Lu Sheng stared for a moment, looking at the modifiable button that appeared behind the technique, and finally took a deep breath.
I clicked on the button with my mind.
In an instant, the body was boiling, and countless Chi Ji Jiu Sha Gong internal energy began to violently tumble, and began to flow crazily and accelerated through the meridians in the body.
All of Lu Sheng's clothes suddenly burst into flames and were quickly scorched in the flames. The bit of hair he had grown just now was also burned to black powder in the flames in the blink of an eye.
"Come on! Either die or live!!"
Lu Sheng let out a low roar, and his whole body swelled up with severe pain, and the anode state suddenly unfolded.
boom!!
Countless sparks exploded, and his figure suddenly grew larger and larger, turning into a strong monster over two meters tall in the blink of an eye.
A large number of tumor-like muscles flowed and squeezed under his skin, more and more, and swelled larger and larger. The entire surface of his body was covered with blue-gray mesh patterns, like tattoos.
After turning into the anode state, his arms and shoulders became increasingly red, and the skin around his body began to bulge with blisters and black pimples of varying sizes.
Waves of severe swelling and pain violently surged through Lu Sheng's body, as if the inner energy was frantically trying to find an outlet in his body to vent.
But his hard skills in the anode state are unparalleled. It can almost be said that he is unprecedented and has no flaws.
Under such circumstances, the excess internal Qi of the Chiji Jiusha Gong can only continue to squeeze more and more and become thicker in his body.
The huge pressure caused the blood vessels all over Lu Sheng's body to slowly bulge, like blue-purple steel cables wrapped around his body.
The severe pain made Lu Sheng's eyes widen and his whole body trembled. Sweat oozed out in large areas and quickly evaporated.
The muscles on his temples on both sides slowly swelled up like two protruding horns.
