Chapter 400
"Mind-Controlling Devil Master?" Lu Sheng smacked his lips, gazing greedily at the body of Xiao Zizhu . He was an ancient devil! If it weren't for there being two other people present, Lu Sheng would have devoured the entire body . Now, all the devil aura was wasted .
But since two strong people from Blood Sun of the Thousand Suns Sect were here, he should refrain from performing undesirable acts such as eating a corpse .
Both were top-notch Divine Weapon Masters . They were the strongest people around, and were transferred over from Blood Sun because of his emergency flare .
The two men were blood brothers, and cultivated two different forms of palm techniques . Because their Divine Weapons were a set, they could fill in each other's weaknesses perfectly, and formed a formidable duo .
"Since even the Mind-Controlling Devil Master appeared, it seems like you're in some trouble, Brother Lu . You should go directly to the Secret Area and visit the Divine Lord . The higher-ups would have already been alerted due to the Devil Master appearing, so there's no way to hide this," the man known as Ghost Brother said solemnly .
"That's what I was thinking too . It's just the distance is far…" Lu Sheng hesitated .
"In reality, the distance is far . But if you pass through the Secret Area, everything will be easy . If you take a boat up the Golden Waterfall, you can reach it within a day . If you don't have anything else on today, Brother Lu, we can take you to see our master right now," Ghost Brother suggested sincerely .
To be honest, all the Divine Lords of the Thousand Sun Sect noticed Lu Sheng after he shone in the prefecture . He also had the Body of the Savage Moon and was the disciple of Qian Du—Su Ningfei . The only reason none of them made a move was because of Su Ningfei .
Now that they realized Lu Sheng was extremely powerful, a lot of them started turning the gears in their heads .
"If so… Thanks for the introduction!" Lu Sheng bowed slightly to show his gratitude . The wounds on his body were healing at a rate visible to the naked eye . Although only the surface was repairing itself, and the insides still needed time, this rate still amazed the two brothers .
"If so, Brother Lu, take some time to prepare . In four hours, after we grab our stuff, we'll come pick you up," Ghost Brother decided .
"Okay . I'll see you later, then . "
"I'll see you later . "
Lu Sheng watched as the two picked up the body of the Mind-Controlling Devil Master and slowly disappeared . Obviously, they went directly back to the Secret Area . He felt it a slight pity .
He was also a little suspicious about the battle that had just happened . Although he'd sneaked up on him, he still felt that this supposed Mind-Controlling Devil Master was a little too weak .
From beginning to end, the strength he'd displayed was too different from his Devil Master level and title .
Lu Sheng glanced around . His wounds had already healed, and one could barely tell that there had been scars anymore .
"Xiao Zizhu…" he repeated the man's name . Even till the end, Lu Sheng didn't use his strongest form, his Yin Yang Integration mode . He wanted to keep a card in his sleeve in case someone saw through him .
'After finishing things, I'll just go back . Everything is getting more troublesome . Even with my strength, I'm starting to be unable to hold up . '
Without Xiao Zizhu in his way, Lu Sheng continued down the broken stone steps to a large square monastery with a red roof .
Incense was lit in front of the monastery, giving off puffs of smoke . Scattered wooden sticks lay around on the ground .
Lu Sheng walked up and picked up one .
"Great evil . " There were only two words on the pale yellow stick .
Lu Sheng smiled, and threw it away . He walked into the monastery slowly . A group of monks in yellow robes were huddled in a corner, seemingly nervous . The only calm one was the elderly leader . He kept his head lowered, reading his holy text quietly .
A few people from the Thousand Sun Sect were on guard to the side . Seeing Lu Sheng walk in, the leader hurriedly got up .
"Sect Master . " This young man seemed very intelligent . He was at most twenty .
"Where are the others?" Lu Sheng asked .
"Reporting to Sect Master, we found an underground maze underneath this monastery . The other two leaders already took some people to check it out," the leader answered quickly .

"Underground maze?" Lu Sheng's interest was hooked . He glanced at the old monk, who was surrounded by their people, as coldness flashed through his eyes .
There were definitely some secrets to this monastery . It seemed like he accidentally found about them .
"Did you find the people from my Lu Family?" Lu Sheng questioned . The most important thing was to first find his second mother . Liu Cuiyu was only an ordinary person . Who knew where Third Mother took her . She was probably in danger right now .
"This…" The leader appeared to be uncomfortable . Obviously, they hadn't found them .
Lu Sheng wasn't surprised . Anyway, the people had to be here . He looked up in time to see a group of people trekking out of the door to the monastery . The leader was a member of the Blood Sun sent by the Thousand Sun Sect, Death Glare True Master, Huang Zhenxian . Lu Sheng sent him to go up the mountain from the other side secretly .
Huang Zhenxian was a young man with a strong, toned body, but his actual age was way older than it looked . He was carefully supporting a middle-aged woman—Second Mother Liu Cuiyu . They walked out of the monastery slowly . Seeing Lu Sheng, Huang Zhenxian immediately let out a breath .
"Sect Master Lu! I didn't let you down!" he shouted .
Lu Sheng looked over . Apart from being unconscious, Second Mother Liu Cuiyu seemed healthy and in one piece . Another beautiful woman walked behind them, supported by other people . It was his third mother, Wang Yanyu, who kidnapped her .
Her face was flushed and her clothes were ripped and untidy . She didn't even dare glance up at Lu Sheng .
"Hehe, Sect Master, you don't know, but after we walked in, we found this woman playing around with a few men . They were really going for the extreme . " Huang Zhenxi chuckled as he reported to Lu Sheng through voice transmission . "In anger, I chopped off all the men's . . . you know what . Don't worry, apart from me, no one else saw this scene . I promise I won't tell anyone, either . "
This was him pledging his loyalty .
Lu Sheng walked up and rested his hand on his second mother's shoulder . After making sure she was okay, he finally relaxed .
"Good job . " Lu Sheng nodded toward Huang Zhenxian . "What's this about the underground maze?"
"It's a hidden place for all filth . The underground maze isn't big, but it is filled with altars made out of people's bodies and carcasses . I don't know what they're worshipping . It doesn't seem like any devil or Devil Master, but more like some barbaric ceremony that someone made up . Should we report this, or…?" Huang Zhenxian was introduced to Lu Sheng by Chen Jing . Although he was also a member of Blood Sun, his personality was greatly different . Before, he accidentally stood out for some reason, and got bullied and ignored by the larger sub-sects within the Thousand Sun Sect . He supposedly got on the bad side of an important figure too .
Now that Lu Sheng returned, it was as if a huge dock appeared out of nowhere . So, he tried to get close to Lu Sheng immediately . If he could get Lu Sheng's approval, he would be safe .

This task was very dangerous, which was why Chen Jing introduced him .
Lu Sheng originally thought there would be some aftermath of this event, but up until now, nothing out of the ordinary had happened . It seemed that he had completely gotten rid of the Mind-Controlling Devil Master, Xiao Zizhu .
He walked up and put his hand on the shoulder of his third mother, Wang Yanyu . He separated one thread of his Infinity Technique's Yang Aura and sent it into her body .
There was nothing abnormal .
Keeping his expression the same, Lu Sheng took a step back .
Wang Yanyu's face was pale . She opened her mouth as if to plead with him . "Young Master…"
"Take her down . Lock her up, then take her to the Lu Mansion later," Lu Sheng ordered .
"Alright . "
A Prime Devil Sect disciple walked forward and escorted Wang Yanyu away .
Lu Sheng mulled over his fight with Xiao Zizhu again . He knew a little about Yin forms . Basically, they were one level lower than their original body . So, something along the lines of a clone, but stronger . It was like his Yin Devils from the Eight-Headed Devil Art . They had their own minds and were in a servant-master relationship with their original form .
'We are both Devil Masters . Xiao Zizhu is just at the top end of all Devil Masters . His Yin form would be one level lower, so at the Jade Star level . Yet, it is still so much more powerful than me . ' Lu Sheng couldn't understand . Just then, he realized that ever since he broke through to the Divine Lord level, he had never received any material regarding it .
Su Ningfei didn't mention anything, either . She just kept giving him tasks . So apart from his current Infinity Technique that he created himself, there were no other true arts he could cultivate as a Divine Lord .
Lu Sheng ordered for his second mother to be taken back to the Lu Mansion . He then walked toward the inner quarters of the monastery . Under a thousand-armed buddha statue, he found the underground maze entrance beneath the cushion it was sitting on, and entered .
Huang Zhenxian, who was leading the way with a torch, explained everything in a small voice as they walked past .

"Come to think of it, these sacrifices in the maze have no effect at all . It looks like a bunch of crazy people just performed blood sacrifices for no reason . Not to mention any image of looking like a sacrifice, there aren't even any ghosts…"
Huh?
Huang Zhenxian noticed something off in his words .
Lu Sheng squinted .
After killing so many people, there wasn't even one ghost . How could this be normal?
The two followed the dark tunnel down into the earth . After passing through a few broken, messy caves, they soon came to an oval, spacious underground palace .
The entire underground palace was only as large as a small basketball field . In the center was an altar made out of white bones . A large pot of boiling bloody water was placed on it, bones and skulls floating up to the surface periodically . A faint trace of smoke came from under the pot as if this was just the most ordinary fire .
Lu Sheng frowned and looked around . Some messy talismans were strewn around, and some twisted symbols were drawn into the floor .
"Get rid of this place . I can't sense anything wrong with it, either," Lu Sheng ordered after finding nothing .
"Understood!" Huang Zhenxian answered quickly .
Lu Sheng followed their path back . Before he left, he noticed a large brown symbol on the wall . Or, one could say a symbol that looked like the character 元 .
There was nothing wrong with the character . Lu Sheng only glanced at it before turning around and leaving the rest to Huang Zhenxian .
Settling this matter, Lu Sheng hurried down the mountain . After making sure his subordinates at the foot of the mountain knew how to take care of things, he hastened back to the Thousand Sun Sect monastery . He asked Chen Jing to check out a locked room for reclusive cultivation, and walked in .
"Wait!" Just when Lu Sheng was about to shut the door, Chen Jing suddenly shouted, "Elder Lu, please wait . Here is an emergency note asking for help from the nearby Liyang City . Please look over it . "
"Emergency assistance note?" Lu Sheng turned around to look at Chen Jingzhi . His expression was serious, and he held a dark rose-colored letter in his hands .
"You should report this to the prefecture or the main sect . Why are you showing this to me?" Lu Sheng didn't get it . He had already been targeted by the Devil Master from the Devil World, and didn't have a solution yet . He had no time for nearby Devil Disasters .Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
