In the blink of an eye, heavy snow fell, two months later.
The Red Whale Gang has taken over the Northland, and neither the Wuyou Society nor the imperial court can stop Lu Sheng's masters from expanding like wolves and tigers.
Lu Sheng, the Sword King of the North, is so famous that no matter where he is in this land, you can often hear people talking about him.
He is the number one master in the secular world, the strongest warrior that no one can defeat. He is also a master of swordsmanship.
Its reputation has spread so quickly. Of course, the spontaneous spread among the people plays a role, but more importantly, it is due to the expansion of the Red Whale Gang's power, the gang's aggressive expansion of members and the recruitment of vassal forces.
There are more and more younger brothers waving flags and cheering for the public, and naturally Lu Sheng's reputation is getting higher and higher.
However, the power of the aristocratic family was taken into account by the Nine Rites of Shangyang, and they all stopped and did not try to cause trouble.
As long as Shangyang Jiuli is still in the family, her strength will determine Lu Sheng's absolute rule in the North.
Lu Sheng himself practiced martial arts every day, practiced sword skills and internal skills, and began to recruit more disciples from the Scarlet Sun Sect.
He also directly announced that he was the leader of the Scarlet Sun Sect, and publicly held a competition to select disciples within the sect in Yanshan City.
Anyone is eligible to participate in the selection. As long as they can pass the trial, regardless of age, cultivation, or character, as long as they pass, they can join the Scarlet Sun Sect and gain the unique skills passed down within the sect.
Of course, Lu Sheng was not personally in charge of this selection competition, but his senior brother Hong Mingzi started holding this competition personally after getting his permission.
Surprisingly, many of the Heavenly Elders in the Martial Alliance also took the initiative to serve as evaluators. They also recognized the strength of Lu Sheng's number one master.
There were even several Tianyuan among them. Because they admired Lu Sheng's personal strength, they joined the Red Whale Gang and became the Red Whale Gang's foreign envoys. Without Zhao Jiaojiao, Lu Sheng had several more Tianyuan people under his command.
And after joining the Red Whale Gang, these masters applied to join the Red Sun Clan and received Lu Sheng's permission.
He personally presided over the initiation ceremony for his duties, and just a few days after these people joined, their friends in the Martial Alliance discovered that these people who joined the Red Whale Gang actually showed signs of breakthroughs in strength.
.
This discovery was quickly confirmed.
One of them, Tian Yuan, after joining Lu Sheng's Red Sun Sect, was able to pass on the secret method and finally broke through the bottleneck that had troubled him for many years and marched towards a new realm.
Although it was only a small step, Tianyuan who made this breakthrough was also very old and had accumulated extremely deep skills. However, this performance also greatly stimulated the old immortals in the Martial Alliance.
As a result, more and more mortal masters began to leave the Martial Alliance and quietly joined the Red Whale Gang and the Red Sun Sect. The potential forces under Lu Sheng's command also became stronger and stronger.
The Selection Conference of the Red Sun Sect, coupled with the Tianyuan masters who continued to join the Red Sun Sect and became active again in the Martial League.
After the entire Northland settled down, it suddenly fell into a lively situation. The hidden monsters and monsters were hiding even deeper. Once the Tianyuan masters broke through, they might even threaten the powerful ones at the Ju level. Ordinary ghosts were no match at all.
.
The people at the Jing level all have their own sanity and know that the Red Whale Gang is huge. If one fights, two or three will come. In the end, there is a terrifyingly powerful gang leader and the support of the Shangyang family behind him. We really have to fight hard.
Just looking for death.
So gradually, the people of the North also felt the increasingly peaceful environment. In a short period of time, merchants, merchants, and even bandits were no longer visible. No one dared to be active in a large group, and only then did Tian Yuan join the Chirimen who wanted to make meritorious deeds.
Committing death in front of him.
Even if there were such stupid young people, they would be killed and swept away as soon as possible.
In the second month after the heavy snow fell, the entire Northland gradually began to regain its prosperity, approaching the state before the famine.
*************************
"The snow is getting heavier and heavier."
On the top of Chiling Peak in the Dongshan Mountains, there is a deep mountain tower belonging to the Red Whale Gang.
Lu Sheng stood in front of the window, looking at the snow-white and dazzling world outside, feeling slightly emotional.
"This is no longer a simple heavy snow, but a snow disaster. Dangerous situations have been sent to the court from various places. In many places, the heavy snow has collapsed the beams of the houses, causing many deaths and injuries."
Yu Lianzi and a tall, middle-aged man who looked like an old master stood behind Lu Sheng, lowering their heads to report the situation.
The old man was dressed in green clothes, with some green patterns such as rice ears and leaves tattooed on his cuffs. He had an emerald jade hairpin inserted into the bun on his head, and his expression was solemn.
His name is Ouyang Qi, and he is known as the headless python in the world. He is a top Tianyuan master who is said to be ruthless and capable of killing people without a second blow. He once made a name for himself in the ordinary world of the Central Plains. Later, he was hunted down by high-ranking masters from the imperial court.
Flee to the North.
Now he is the first top master in Tianyuanli of the Martial League to defect to Lu Sheng.
This person was originally not very gregarious in the martial alliance. Because of his ruthless personality, he committed crimes of burning, killing, looting, and bloodthirsty, he was rejected by other Tianyuan.
After hearing that Chirimen was recruiting people regardless of their conduct, he was the first to take the initiative to try to join. Unexpectedly, Lu Sheng accepted the job regardless of his conduct.
"Where's Qi Lao? How's everything going on there?" Lu Sheng looked at Ouyang Qi again. He used this person because he had a very strong management ability on the other side. With the Yinhe Network, he couldn't make any mistakes.
Ouyang Qi lowered his head and replied: "The competition is going on as scheduled and has not been affected. The pre-selected disciples selected from various places are already on their way to Yanshan City. Preliminary estimates are that 262 people have passed the pre-selection."
"There are more than two thousand people participating. They have already been selected, but only a few passed?" Yu Lianzi was stunned.
"It's already very good. According to my expectation, this number is even more than what I expected. To select a strong person who can fight ghosts, ordinary character and qualifications are not enough." Ouyang Qi said coldly.
Yu Lianzi hesitated and did not dare to say more. His strength was far inferior to that of Ouyang Qi. If he were not both a general under the gang leader, but in a one-on-one situation, the old man could kill him with one finger.
"Okay, now that my senior brother is in charge, it won't be a big problem. What we need are disciples who don't care about good or evil, as long as their willpower is strong enough." Lu Sheng said calmly.
"But the leader of the gang can be said to treat everyone equally regardless of good or evil, and will not be affected by external judgments. But what about respecting the teacher? What if you encounter someone who teaches you the skills and does not cherish them, but is a traitor who deceives the teacher and destroys the ancestors?
What should I do?" Ouyang Qi also couldn't understand Lu Sheng's intention.
"Whether he is good or evil, loyal or traitorous, as long as he enters the threshold of my Red Sun Gate, he will not be able to make the decision," Lu Sheng said calmly.
These words made the two of them feel chilled, and they did not dare to ask any more questions.
The control of the Yinhe Net is basically incomprehensible to these ordinary disciples. The layout of the Yinhe Net mainly relies on the Yin-Yang Jade Crane Treasure Vase Qi.
The quality of the Baoping Qi determines whether these people are able to discover and expel the Yinhe Net. The Yinhe Net, which has more than a thousand years of skill, has almost zero chance of being discovered.
For these selected disciples, Lu Sheng planned to let them use the Yinhe Net to continuously practice their internal skills from the beginning. In this way, the deeper their skills are, the more deeply their internal skills will be combined with the Yinhe Net. Over time, Yinhe will
The integration between the network and themselves will become deeper.
And because of the essential gap in skill, they were unable to break through the Yinhe Net left by Lu Sheng.
It was a terrifying network that Lu Sheng had condensed with a thousand years of skill. Unless they also reached a thousand years of skill, their life span would not be that long. This was simply impossible.
That's why Lu Sheng has this confidence.
He wants to turn the entire Northland into a large warehouse for him to absorb internal energy.
Even if the purity of the impurities in one's power is different, absorbing one year's power can only result in one month's worth of inner energy. But that's just one person.
If twelve people practice one year's internal strength at the same time, then for Lu Sheng, after absorbing it, it will be one year's worth of internal strength.
If there are one hundred and twenty people, it will be enough work within ten years.
If there were 1,200 people, it would be hundreds of years!
Gathering sand into a tower, accumulating a little becomes a lot.
Lu Sheng didn't care whether such behavior belonged to the evil sect.
"I am saving them. There are many people who are not even qualified to practice martial arts at all, but I gave them the opportunity to change their destiny."
He views his actions as rent collection.
He used his inner energy to build a house for others (Yinhe.com), and the others lived in it and enjoyed the joyful status of becoming a homeowner, but they had to pay rent to him at a fixed time. It was as simple as that.
"Okay, everything will go according to the original plan. If there are no big changes, don't come to see me. Just execute it." Lu Sheng's thoughts returned to the present and he said calmly.
"yes."
Yu Lianzi and Ouyang Qi retreated respectively. When they left, they gently closed the door.
Lu Sheng stood quietly in front of the window for a long time.
Suddenly he raised his hand and stretched out the window.
Puff puff puff.
A dark strange bird, like a crow with a snake head, flew towards here from a distance. The flying snow in the sky could not stop its progress at all.
The strange bird gently fell into Lu Sheng's palm.
There was a copper pipe tied to the bird's leg. Lu Sheng took it off and gently unscrewed it.
Inside the copper tube is a small roll of paper.
Lu Sheng looked at the bird, put it aside, and unfolded the note with both hands.
‘The Baimai Conference is being held in Tianwang City in the Central Plains. I control the family resources and have several recommended places. You can choose whether to join the practice.
Baimai claims to have hundreds of sects, but in fact there are only eight or sixty-four meridians. The Shangyang family's methods are not suitable for you and cannot be taught, but you can choose to practice the general methods studied by Baimai.
I can recommend you to go to Chopai.’
Shangyang Jiuli didn't write much on the scroll, perhaps because of the limited space, which made Lu Sheng confused.
"Yingying, do you know Baimai?" Lu Sheng put away the scroll and whispered.
Wow
The wardrobe slowly slid open, and the little umbrella girl knelt inside and pressed Lu Sheng's clothes hard. There were a lot of unfolded clothes piled in a mess beside her.
"I know." Yingying heard the voice, looked up at Lu Sheng, and pressed forward hard without stopping.
These clothes were extremely thick. She was petite and not strong enough, so she had to put her whole body on them, holding in her face until her face turned red.
She was just reborn and was as weak as a child. In addition, she absorbed too little resentment and gave most of it to her sister. The rest was used to grow in shape. At this time, she was just an ordinary person, at most.
It's just a matter of lightness of footwork and running faster.
Seeing the little umbrella girl pressing her clothes there, Lu Sheng didn't mean to torture her, but now that he had more and more secrets, ordinary maids could no longer meet his needs, so he simply let the little umbrella girl serve as
In this position, he couldn't let the umbrella girl leave anyway.
