"What I didn't calculate well is that although I took the right approach and activated the Gate of Pain, I cheated my opponent and myself at the same time." Lu Sheng looked at the gloomy teaching building in front of him and raised his hand to look at it.
He looked at the fragment of mirror in his palm. He didn't choose to go in.
He had an intuition that once he walked in, it would be difficult to leave the painful world safely.
The mirror fragment in the palm is burning, like a piece of paper being ignited, constantly burning itself and becoming smaller in size.
Lu Sheng had a feeling that when the mirror fragments burned out, it would be the time for him to leave here.
Xiao Zizhu never imagined that he could still find a way to leave here. Even Lu Sheng himself could not imagine that the fragments of the broken Gate of Pain could have this effect.
"Aren't you going in?" Suddenly a hoarse female voice came from behind.
Lu Sheng came back to his senses and felt the hairs on his back stand on end, as if he had encountered some extremely dangerous threat.
He slowly tried to keep himself as calm as possible and turned around. At the same time, he felt the lenses in his palms burning faster.
Standing behind him was a middle-aged short-haired woman with an expressionless face and wearing gray civilian clothes.
The woman stared at him blankly with a pair of dull eyes.
"We've come all the way here, why don't you go in and take a look?" she spoke again.
Although he didn't know what language she was using, Lu Sheng understood what she said.
"Who are you?" he asked with a frown.
"I have seen the sins on your body. They are so rich, depressed, and thick," the middle-aged woman said in a low voice, "Only pain can wash away the sins on your body. Join us, you have this potential."
"You? What are you? What is your potential?" Lu Sheng quickly asked in a deep voice.
"We are sinners, but we pursue the essence. If we pursue the truth of everything, you can call us the Black Alliance." The middle-aged woman replied dully, "Lu Sheng, we see everything about you. The Mother of Origin has always been there.
Watching you. Come, join us."
She slowly stretched out her hand and handed it to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng glanced at her hand. There was a clear penetrating wound in the palm of her hand. Numerous scars of different sizes were densely covered with the skin of her entire hand, spreading all the way to her forearm.
"Black Alliance" Lu Sheng's heart moved. "You haven't answered me yet, what is the potential? Why do I have the potential?"
The middle-aged woman took back her hand.
"We have all seen the three times you came into contact with us. There are no unprovoked causes in the world, and there are no unprovoked effects. You were able to maintain yourself during the three times of contact without being corroded by the gray air. This is your qualification."
Lu Sheng didn't understand what it meant. He had indeed been exposed to the world of pain three times, but he didn't feel any threat to himself.
Once there was a temptation that attracted him to step in, but he didn't do it.
The second time I just saw it accidentally and unconsciously.
The third time, a hand stretched out to grab him, a rotten arm tattooed with evil characters, but he tore it off directly.
"So, what kind of person is considered qualified, and what can I gain by joining you?" Lu Sheng asked again.
It seems that the other party came specifically to find him. There is no doubt about the danger of the painful world. Although he is powerful, he must be careful and cautious.
"A person who is dissatisfied with everything and wants to change everything." The woman answered.
This answer shocked Lu Sheng.
He suddenly recalled that he once had the urge to change the world during the Song Dynasty. Although it was an impulse that was influenced by external factors, the consciousness and desire at that time were also affected by the painful world.
The Black Alliance found out
This made him feel even more solemn.
"This world needs to be corrected. All the mistakes that have been made should be corrected." The middle-aged woman murmured, her deep voice not seeming like she was talking to him, but more like talking to herself.
Lu Sheng didn't ask what would happen if he didn't join. He intuitively felt that once he asked this question, it might lead to some extremely bad consequences.
"Choose." The woman raised her head again and stared at him blankly.
Lu Sheng looked at the woman in front of him, and suddenly a creepy sense of danger slowly surged into his heart. His throat trembled slightly, and his thoughts were spinning rapidly, considering various possible countermeasures.
After a long time, he finally nodded slowly.
"Okay, I'll join."
The middle-aged woman suddenly laughed.
Her smile was bright, and her face, which was obviously ordinary and even a little dull, suddenly became so bright with this smile, and even gave Lu Sheng a faint sense of enchantment.
"Remember my name, my name is Cross Star."
The moment the sound penetrated into Lu Sheng's ears, the mirror fragments in his palm immediately accelerated and burned. In almost an instant, they completely disappeared.
With a blur in front of his eyes, Lu Sheng came back to his senses and found that he had returned to the battlefield above the Red River Valley.
Xiao Zizhu in front of him also came back, but strangely, Xiao Zizhu's eyes were wide open, his pupils were a little dilated, and there was still a trace of satisfied and longing smile at the corner of his mouth. The whole person was suspended in mid-air, as if he was not there at this time.
Not fighting, but watching some kind of strange scenery.
Seeing his performance, Lu Sheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak.
Suddenly Xiao Zizhu spoke first.
"This body is a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't matter. It will get better after a while. Lu Sheng, I will go back first. Remember, you must come to the collective sacrifice once a year. If you miss it, the consequences will be serious."
With a weird smile on his face, he turned around stiffly and flew in the direction of the demon army.
Lu Sheng looked at his leaving figure and suddenly felt a little cold in his heart. Because Xiao Zizhu's voice just now was exactly the same as that strange woman in Cross Star.
He suddenly felt that his action of opening the door of pain was a little too reckless. Xiao Zizhu was definitely no longer the original Xiao Zizhu, and was most likely replaced by another soul.
"How could a powerful demon lord be replaced so silently?" Lu Sheng suddenly understood why the three sects, Dayin, and even the demon world were so afraid of the world of pain.
This is not a level of power at all.
He was suspended in mid-air and looked down at the palm of his hand. The mirror fragments were gone, but there was a clear word "evil".
He tried to use Yang Yuan to erase the black writing, but it was useless. The word "evil" was still clearly printed on the skin of his palm. He could feel that this word contained some kind of traction, which could pull him to the world of pain at any time.
As long as you can find a place with a mirror.
"It's troublesome." Lu Sheng's heart sank slightly. Although the dilemma was relieved, joining the weird and mysterious Black Alliance was not a good thing.
"By the way, everyone in the Black Alliance can use this word to conduct short-distance top-secret communication. But the premise is not to be exposed in front of the soldier leader. Remember." Cross Star's voice came from afar again, and he drilled directly.
The road is better than the head.
Lu Sheng's face was gloomy and he was suspended in mid-air. He lowered his head and saw the three sect allies starting to cheer below. He raised his hand.
"Withdraw!" With the order, all three sect disciples retreated one after another, returning to their own positions like a tide, leaving the battlefield valley full of corpses and remains.
"Also remember, although the power of the law is powerful, it is far less than the source. The soldiers are also in contact with the existence of the source. Don't expose this word in front of them." Cross Star's voice came into his mind from the evil word again.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath and ignored the compliments and cheers from the disciples and elders of the same sect beside him. Instead, he calmly dealt with it for a few times and quickly left the Red River Valley and flew towards Qiuyue County.
The dilemma was resolved, but the sudden appearance of the Black Alliance caught him off guard.
He needs to search for more information to see if he can find a way to solve it. The originally simple situation suddenly became mysterious and complicated after the appearance of the Black Alliance.
strength
His strength at this time was becoming increasingly insufficient. The troubles arising from Demon Emperor Vera, Xiao Zizhu, and the Black Alliance were all beyond his ability to deal with.
If we still maintain the current level, what will happen in the future will really have to be decided by fate.
A few days later.
In the battle in the Red River Valley, Lu Sheng and the top demon clan warriors both suffered losses. Lu Sheng was slightly better and forced the demon army back. The news immediately spread to all the surrounding counties and cities, and even the capital was alerted. People were sent to inquire about the situation of the battle.
.
After Lu Sheng casually dealt with Chen Jingzhi's inquiry, he returned to the Dao Palace and dove into the library, frantically flipping through the records of the World of Pain and the Black Alliance.
Soon the blockade of the secret realm was lifted. At this time, the two soldiers in charge of the Blood Sun took the initiative to come to the door and offered to take him to meet the Holy Lord with some embarrassment. However, Lu Sheng declined politely and they went to meet the Holy Lord.
The place of the Holy Lord is called Golden Waterfall, which is the place next to the Soldier Lord in the legendary secret realm.
If his current situation was accidentally discovered by the military leader in the past, it would be really miserable.
Everyone in Da Yin is clamoring to fight the Black Alliance. Although it is mysterious and powerful, it has always been the number one enemy pursued by the authorities.
According to the information Lu Sheng found in the Tao Palace, the Black Alliance first appeared. Its members claimed that the world was full of filth and that every life was born with countless sins. Only pain could wash away sins. Therefore, in order to teach the world, the Black Alliance established
An organization called the Black Sound Sect began to publicize its weird doctrines.
Originally, Da Yin only regarded them as an ordinary sect at that time. At most, the doctrines they preached were somewhat unique.
But a subsequent incident made the entire human world and demon world realize the true face of the Black Alliance.
It was the winter of a year whose specific time is not recorded.
The Black Sound Cult gathered more than 15,000 people. One by one, they took off their clothes and found themselves in a valley. Their bodies were entangled and crowded together, and their hands and feet climbed and crossed each other.
More than 15,000 people, men and women, young and old, all used their bodies to build a physical ship like a puzzle of building blocks.
A bishop of the Black Sound Sect used a black flame called Jia to ignite the hull of the ship. Tens of thousands of people disappeared mysteriously in the flames without saying a word.
This evil ritual was called the Meat Boat. After that, it happened many times in succession, and not only mortals joined it, but also bloodline-level masters. There were even Earthly Powerhouses.
This aroused vigilance and panic in Dayin and Sanzong.
A large number of people have mysteriously disappeared. There are even masters of major forces among them. This has seriously threatened the rule of Da Yin.
