Chapter 628: 628
“Smack . ”
The seventh leader’s left cheek was hit with a loud slap .
His soft left cheek visibly started to swell .
However, he still showed no reaction .
Lu Sheng was slightly stunned . Initially, he saw that the seventh leader seemed to have been shocked by something . He planned to seize the opportunity when his mind was lax and use the psychological guidance art on him . However, he did not expect this young fellow to experience some new change again .
‘Did I succeed or not?’ Lu Sheng was slightly hesitant .
“You!!” The seventh leader suddenly snapped back to his senses . He started retreating with fear . “Don’t come any closer!”
“…” Lu Sheng was feeling slightly speechless . He had saved his life, after all . This was all he got in thanks?
‘Looks like it’s not working… Are Geshas this difficult to hypnotize?’ He was feeling slightly shocked internally . Judging by the Geshas’ age, they did not have much experience and were barely involved with the world . They should not be all that mature . Logically speaking, they should have been easy to manipulate .
However, the truth was that he could not control the kid’s mind at all .
‘Interesting… Is some other force weakening mine?’ Lu Sheng stroked his chin . He turned around and went to another ruin site . He stabbed his arm into the ground as easily as if he was punching through tofu .
“Bam!”
A huge chunk of bricks erupted . A huge pit about eight meters wide was blown into the ground .
Two beautiful girls in maid outfits lay unconscious in the pit . They were the sisters whom he had hypnotized before this .
The sisters were not Geshas . However, their moves and physiques were good . They were perfectly suitable to serve as his subordinates .
Now that Lu Sheng was experiencing a shortage in subordinates he could trust, personnel were the resources he needed the most .
This was the case for Jiu Nan before this .
That was why Lu Sheng had protected the two maids who waited at the door during the critical moments .
“…” The seventh leader finally sighed with relief when he saw Lu Sheng leaving while carrying the two girls .
The scene just now truly shocked him . The Yellow Springs Witch’s Apocalypse Meteor was a terrifying grand weapon of destruction even on the international stage .
Its might was on par with strategic missiles used in terrestrial warfare . An area of several thousand meters could be instantly destroyed .
However, that terrifying sneak meteor attack was parried by that man with a single punch .
“Hiss…”
The dark red coloration of the surrounding skies started to fade quickly .
The seventh leader sighed heavily in relief . This meant that the Yellow Springs Witch had retreated as well . The aftereffects of the Divine Energy Embellishment were terrible, but… those who died were easily replaceable . The most important thing was that he was alright .
The dark red coloration faded quickly . The seventh leader’s vision blurred, and then he found himself standing within his original office .
The walls of the building around him did not move . However, the floors above and below him were silent . Before this, it’d been a lively place, but it was currently as quiet as death .
He sighed and walked through the door slowly . He saw Lu Sheng carrying the maids in his arms .
Lu Sheng was standing before another huge office in the corridor . He looked up and peered into the room .
“There’s no use in looking… Other than Ling’er and Yu’er in your arms, the others are dead,” the seventh leader explained after a brief moment of silence .
“This is Divine Energy Embellishment for you . This is the main reason we’re referred to as gods . All lives lost in the space occupied by Divine Energy Embellishment will also be lost in the real world . ”
Lu Sheng retracted his gaze . There was nobody in the office . There were no bodies, no flames . It was merely an empty space .
It was as if there was nobody here .
“I think I know who the murderer is now,” Lu Sheng said drily . Since he could not hypnotize the seventh leader, there was no point in his staying here . With Jiu Nan and the sisters under his control, he would obtain all the information he needed sooner or later .
He was about to leave .
“Wait! We can work together! You’ve saved my life! I can give you some great information for free! It’s about the Yellow Springs Witch!” the seventh leader called out loudly to him from behind .
“Great information?” Lu Sheng turned to look at him .
“Yes… I think I know the Yellow Springs Witch’s objective now,” the seventh leader replied with a straight face .
An hour later, Lu Sheng walked out of the building . He saw many black sedans parked outside . Throngs of people walked into the building without any strange expressions . It was as if this was their original workplace and they were here routinely for work .
The building was quickly filled with the sounds of phone calls and the clacking of keyboards again, just as it was before .

Jiu Nan drove another personal car to fetch Lu Sheng .
“What’s this?” Lu Sheng asked with a frown . He opened the door and boarded the car .
“Most of the people before this were part of the Nihility Mirage . It’s one of the Imperial Phoenix’s seventh leader’s abilities . The Nihility Mirage can create illusions of various sceneries according to the seventh leader’s memories,” Jiu Nan explained .
He started the car and drove slowly away from the building .
“He had such an ability?” Lu Sheng was surprised . He immediately regretted not controlling the seventh leader even more .
“There are huge differences in the abilities of the master Geshas . However, they all have one thing in common: they’re powerful!” Jiu Nan praised . “My energy source comes from my niece . Her greatest ability was control over the air . If she’s willing, the entire Flower Tree City will be wiped out by her ability in a day . All living beings will die of suffocation . ”
“That’s truly powerful…” Lu Sheng nodded . Fortunately, he had cultivated his Limit Indestructible Body to the state where he could carry out internal breathing . He was an independent being now, and had very low dependency on the external environment .
After cultivating this fist technique to its extreme, it gave rise to a powerful body . Even with his former Eight-Headed Devil Art, he did not have the confidence that it would be a sure win .
“Your niece?” Lu Sheng stroked his chin . “There’s no need to rush to send me back home . Bring me to your niece first . I’m very interested in her . ”
Jiu Nan’s expression showed fear . Then, he smiled bitterly out of helplessness . “Master, if you like, I can suggest other girls for you…”
“What’re you thinking about? I’m merely interested in her abilities,” Lu Sheng explained casually . “That’s enough . Bring me there . ”
“No, I mean… Alright . ” Jiu Nan wanted to say something, but he stopped himself . His expression was quite helpless . However, he eventually agreed to Lu Sheng’s request .
He drove for a while . At a stretch of the road where there were no surveillance cameras, he took out his phone and made a call .
Then, he brought Lu Sheng all the way to a mansion area in the outskirts .
It was already lunch time . Jiu Nan brought the car steadily to the end of the mansion area . He slowed the car to a stop before the mansion furthest in the area .
He turned to glance at Lu Sheng . Then, he made another phone call .
The call connected in no time . Jiu Nan spoke briefly in a dialect and hung up .
“I’ve told my niece about you . I told her that you’re my superior, and that you’re here to ask her about the abilities of Geshas . ”
Lu Sheng nodded slightly .
Jiu Nan smiled wryly . “Also, please be careful, Master . Because of her other ability, my niece’s… slightly eccentric . This is especially true of her ability . I’m her vassal, so I can’t spell it out…”

“Mm-hm, I’ll be careful . ” Lu Sheng was looking forward to this . She would be the second Gesha he would meet . He hoped that something good would come out of this meeting .
They alighted, and Jiu Nan brought Lu Sheng to the iron gates of the mansion . Jiu Nan rang the doorbell .
“Ding, ding…”
After two rings, the iron gates slowly opened inward .
Jiu Nan smiled apologetically, and said, “I won’t be going in . As you please, Master . Also, please be careful . ”
“Mm-hm, I will . ” Lu Sheng nodded .
He passed by the fountain and came up to the mansion’s doors . With a soft push, the doors opened .
A beautiful girl with a large black bowknot on her shoulder-length gray hair stood at the door calmly . She seemed to be welcoming him .
The girl was about 1 . 4 meters tall . Her breasts were in bud, while her frame seemed slightly frail . However, her prominent buttocks were still visible through the dress she wore .
The only not-so-healthy part about her was her skin tone . Perhaps she had stayed away from the sun for too long, but she was pale, without a trace of the color of blood .
“Welcome . It’s been a long time since we’ve had a guest . Come in,” the girl greeted him in a cold voice .
“Sorry to trouble you . ” Lu Sheng made a genial smile . He exchanged his shoes for indoor slippers . He barely took a few steps when he heard the mansion’s doors slamming shut behind him .
The girl lowered chains that were as thick as her arms on the door . Then, she fastened the five bolts that were as thick as her wrist .
Then, she took a step back and pressed a button somewhere .
“Du…”
A thick and solid alloyed metallic wall slowly lowered from above the doors . The exit was firmly barred .
“Alright . ” The girl turned around and looked at the speechless Lu Sheng . “I’m sorry . It’s been a long time since there was a guest . I’m so excited . ”
It was only now that Lu Sheng noticed that there was not a single window in the entire mansion . The only exit was the doorway which he had just entered through .
“Come with me, please . ” The girl walked toward the wooden staircase in the living room . “My uncle surprisingly told me that there’s someone who’s willing to be my guest here . Even if you’re just here to ask for information, I’m still plenty happy . Also, my name’s Lin Shishi . You can call me Shishi . I like it when people call me Shishi . ”
Within the girl’s huge black eyes, there was an unexplainable joy and excitement . There was also a hint of longing and elation .

“I’m Du Xiong . You can call me by my full name, or you can call me Big Brother Du,” Lu Sheng responded politely .
“Well then, Big Brother Du, what brings you here to my mansion? Have you heard anything about me before you came?” As Lin Shishi spoke, she brought Lu Sheng to a recreational room that resembled a study on the second floor .
“I haven’t . The only thing I know is that you can control the air,” Lu Sheng responded honestly .
“Oh . I haven’t been using that ability for a long time now,” Lin Shishi said casually . “Compared to that, I like my other ability even more . ”
“What ability would that be?” Lu Sheng was starting to feel curious .
“Ten Thousand Desires . ” Lin Shishi locked the door with a click . She turned around and looked at Lu Sheng .
The dark blue coloration of her dress started to fade slowly . Her beautiful young body was exposed; it was only covered with skin-tight inner garments .
Scorching flames started spreading in her eyes . Lin Shishi stared at Lu Sheng’s strong build . She felt as if her entire person was on fire .
“Come! I like strong men like you!” She tore the hem of her inner garment away .
“Pccht! Pccht! Pcchht! Pcchht!”
Dozens of pitch-black, slimy tendrils shot toward Lu Sheng .
“Let me love you tenderly! Hahahaha!” Lin Shishilaughed maniacally as she pounced toward Lu Sheng .
“What’s this?!” Lu Sheng took a step back and sideways, and raised his leg in a whipping kick .
“Bam!”
The intense force shook the air . Blurry images of a leg hit the center of the tendrils .
“Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!”
The tendrils instantly broke and Lin Shishi reeled until she crashed into the iron door . She was completely wedged into the door .
“Suffocation!” she shouted shrilly .
The air in the room suddenly froze . Lu Sheng could not take another breath .
