281: The mysterious Wang Mu!

Listening to Zhao Changsheng's words, Lu Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhao Changsheng again.

It should be known that creating such a Jade Slip is not an easy task.

Especially the memories and identity information contained within this Jade Slip, it is absolutely impossible for one or two people to complete.

After all, many things are involved.

For example, investigating a person's identity and status, and even some of their special habits, and so on—no matter what, it's absolutely impossible for one person to do.

This requires an extremely vast network of connections.

For instance, Lu Sheng's previous identity as Shi Ming was created under the vast network of the Star Academy's Dawn Project, and it took a long time to craft a relatively perfect identity for Lu Sheng.

But even so, some details were still missed, almost causing Lu Sheng to encounter an accident.

Lu Sheng glanced at the information in the Jade Slip, and after a quick scan, he withdrew his gaze.

The identity Jade Slip Zhao Changsheng gave Lu Sheng was that of a Prodigy from a Gu Demon Clan branch. Although the Gu Demon Clan is also one of the Great Royal Clans, it is even divided into two distinct branches: the Ocean Gu Demon Clan and the Forest Gu Demon Clan.

These two distinct major branches, even if you pick one out, are comparable to Great Royal Clans.

It's just that the Ocean Gu Demon Clan, for some unknown reason, migrated to the Blue Star territory, located in the great sea outside Shanhai City.

It was not subject to the jurisdiction of any Royal Clan, but was later slain by the Sage of Literature, leading to the fall of the Ocean Gu Demon Emperor. Now, the Ocean Gu Demon Clan is weaker than the Forest Gu Demon Clan.

The Forest Gu Demon Clan, on the other hand, is under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Demon Royal Clan, and is one of the Great Royal Clans under the Spirit Demon Royal Clan.

And under these two major branches, more branches have evolved. The information on the Jade Slip Zhao Changsheng gave Lu Sheng was that of a powerful expert from the Earth Gu Demon lineage, a branch under the Forest Gu Demon Clan.

He also possessed a Nirvana Late Stage cultivation.

This is quite interesting.

He had just broken through to Nirvana Late Stage, yet Zhao Changsheng was able to find an identity that so perfectly matched his strength and cultivation.

This is not easy.

Moreover, Zhao Changsheng has always been by his side, so it's impossible for him to have any contact with Wang Mu, yet Zhao Changsheng was able to produce such an identity information Jade Slip.

What does this indicate?

It indicates that Zhao Changsheng possesses many of these so-called identity information Jade Slips, all to prevent situations where cultivation and identity don't match.

And to possess so many identity information Jade Slips, the human and material resources required would be quite terrifying.

While the Star Academy's Dawn Project could achieve this, it would never be as casual as Zhao Changsheng, who just pulls them out. These all require time to investigate and formulate a plan for replacement.

Just this point alone is enough to illustrate the terrifying power of the organization Zhao Changsheng belongs to.

It even surpasses the special operations team of the Dawn Project.

And... from Zhao Changsheng's words, it seems he also knows about the Dawn Project's special operations team, and is even extremely clear about it.

With such careful analysis, some things become quite unsettling.

Lu Sheng took a deep breath, and the look in his eyes towards Zhao Changsheng also changed slightly, finally saying softly, "Sometimes, I really want to kill you!"

Zhao Changsheng's body paused, he turned to look at Lu Sheng, a smile once again appearing on his Face: "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you. I knew that directly taking out some things like this would make you suspicious, but there's nothing I can do. That guy Wang Mu told me to do it this way, saying he wanted to see your reaction."

Saying that, Zhao Changsheng spread his hands, somewhat helplessly saying, "Who made him the boss? If I don't listen to him, who else can I listen to?"

A flash of light passed through Lu Sheng's eyes.

Wang Mu deliberately let him know.

What does he want to do?

Is it just to observe his reaction?

Or... does this guy have some other motive?

Lu Sheng fell silent.

To be honest, in Lu Sheng's heart, Wang Mu has always been a mysterious figure.

Whether it was the scenes he witnessed at the Tianxing Great Wall, or seeing this guy with his own eyes at the Star Academy, or hearing about Wang Mu from other people.

Lu Sheng always felt that Wang Mu seemed a bit too clever, so much so that even an existence like Lin Xuan couldn't guess Wang Mu's thoughts.

Lu Sheng had also tried to fathom Wang Mu's thoughts, but they always remained shrouded in mist.

It wasn't until Lu Sheng's strength grew stronger and he learned more that he gradually began to guess a hint of Wang Mu's intentions.

But even so... in Lu Sheng's heart, Wang Mu was still covered in a thick white mist, making it difficult for Lu Sheng to see through him.

"So, you are not just two individuals, but an organization?"

Lu Sheng said softly.

Zhao Changsheng shrugged: "I didn't say anything, you're just guessing, it has nothing to do with me."

Lu Sheng glanced at Zhao Changsheng. The fact that he didn't object indicated that things were probably as he had said.

But if that's the case, it's quite unsettling.

An organization!

It can even achieve methods that transcend the Dawn Project, and even act recklessly in the Otherworldly Demon World. The key is that after causing trouble, they can easily clean up their own mess.

Such methods, even one of the Three Great Royal Clans might not be able to achieve.

Could it be... Lu Sheng had a guess in his heart.

Demon God!

The current Demon God of the Otherworldly Demon World!

It should be known that whether it was the Beast Demon Royal Clan's former Demon God, Black Dragon, whom Lu Sheng had seen before, or the Spirit Demon Royal Clan or the Sky Demon Royal Clan, they all once had a Demon God.

And it was precisely with the birth of a Demon God that their race became a Royal Clan.

But there's an extremely interesting thing.

That is, the current Demon God of the Otherworldly Demon World doesn't seem to have his own race, or rather... no one knows what race the current Demon God belongs to.

They only know that the other party possesses the Realm of a Demon God, transcending the entire Otherworldly Demon World, yet a person with such power has not created a race of his own.

This is a bit strange.

Lu Sheng had been curious before, but now... perhaps the organization Wang Mu and Zhao Changsheng belong to was created by the Demon God, and in the Otherworldly Demon World, perhaps only the Demon God possesses such great means and power.

"So... are you ultimately going to make a move against Great Xia?"

Lu Sheng stopped, looking at Zhao Changsheng's back, and said in a deep voice.

If this organization was created by the Demon God, then Great Xia would be in danger. Although Zhao Changsheng is currently helping him obtain the profound spirit fragment.

But who knows if the other party is truly sincere? If he were to conclude everything based solely on what Zhao Changsheng said earlier, he would be too foolish.

Zhao Changsheng raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Lu Sheng in surprise: "Why do you think our organization is going to make a move against Great Xia?"

Now it was Lu Sheng's turn to frown. Not making a move against Great Xia? Could this organization not be the work of the Demon God?

But if that's the case... Lu Sheng couldn't help but shiver.

If that were the case, Wang Mu would be even more terrifying.

To create such an organization without the Demon God's power, such actions and scale are enough to inspire fear.

"Where is Wang Mu?"

Lu Sheng took a deep breath and said softly.

"I want to see him!"

For such an existence, if Lu Sheng couldn't fully understand the other party's intentions, it would be unacceptable to Lu Sheng.

After all, no one knows what this guy is truly thinking, or whether he will make a move against Great Xia. Zhao Changsheng certainly wouldn't know either.

So, meeting him might be a good choice.

"Wang Mu was right, he also said he wanted to meet you!"

Zhao Changsheng sighed slightly.

It was as if Lu Sheng's current actions had already been anticipated by Wang Mu.

Looking at Zhao Changsheng's appearance, Lu Sheng fell silent once again.

This Wang Mu is a bit too terrifying, isn't he? He even guessed my reactions. How familiar and how deeply he must have studied me.

And yet, I've only met Wang Mu once.

“Alright, don’t think so much. Wang Mu said that he is also from the Great Xia Human Clan and will not attack the Great Xia Human Clan. The meaning of our existence... is merely to pursue that faint hope in our hearts!”

Zhao Changsheng laughed with abandon.

“Hope? What is the hope in your hearts?”

Lu Sheng was startled and asked.

“Hope... of course, is to become a top-tier person!”

Zhao Changsheng grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth. When he said these words, his eyes were incredibly pure and serious.

This was an emotion Zhao Changsheng had never shown before.

Lu Sheng fell silent, but soon he looked up slightly: “When can I meet Wang Mu?”

To be honest, Lu Sheng was growing more and more curious about Wang Mu.

Not only because he wanted to know if Wang Mu would attack Great Xia, but more importantly, Lu Sheng also wanted to know what kind of person Wang Mu truly was.

To be able to achieve such a grand feat.

“Hmm... if I calculate, perhaps we should be able to meet him after we take the profound spirit fragment from the Succubus Clan!”

Zhao Changsheng rubbed his chin.

“Should?”

Lu Sheng's brows twitched slightly.

“Yeah, that’s what he told me. As for whether it will happen, it depends on his thoughts at the time. This person’s ideas change by the day, but it’s worth mentioning that when it comes to you, Wang Mu’s thoughts have never changed.”

Zhao Changsheng chuckled at Lu Sheng.

“What thoughts?”

“Naturally, to pull you into our organization!”

Lu Sheng was silent.

He was now increasingly unable to understand Wang Mu’s thoughts.

On what basis did he think he would join his organization?

The more Lu Sheng thought about it, the more he felt a headache. After rubbing his temples, Lu Sheng ultimately decided not to think about these things anymore and waved his hand.

“Alright, lead the way!”

“You don’t want to kill me now?”

“We’ll see!”

“Hehe, actually, it wouldn’t be that easy for you to kill me either.”

“Really? Want to try?”

As the two spoke, their figures swept towards the territory of the Succubus Clan... The Succubus Clan, as a very special race in the entire Otherworldly Demon World, is geographically located in the middle of the Spirit Demon Royal Clan and the Beast Demon Royal Clan territories.

However, despite being in such an extremely awkward position, due to the special nature of the Succubus Clan, battles rarely break out here.

At most, there would be minor skirmishes, but most were willing to give the Succubus Clan Face and wouldn't get too serious.

The Succubus Clan built a massive city in their territory, said to be modeled after the cities of Great Xia’s Blue Star.

It was very majestic, even grander than the cities of larger races, such as the Lion City of the Lion Demon Clan.

Just its majestic city walls alone were enough to make many Otherworldly Demons sigh in admiration.

However, such a city, in the Otherworldly Demon World, seemed like an anomaly.

Cities were indeed important, but for some top-tier powerhouses, a city could be easily shattered with just one hand, making the city seem less significant.

As a result, in the Otherworldly Demon World, very few cities would build such majestic city walls.

Of course, for viewing purposes, it did add a certain aesthetic appeal.

And the Succubus Clan named this city Charm City!

Charm City, as a midway station between the territories of the two Great Royal Clans, usually had many people. Although the Succubus Clan rarely allowed outsiders into their territory, Charm City was only considered the main city of the Succubus Clan. Its core area was not within Charm City, but in a mountain range behind Charm City.

But exactly where, those who had not entered would not know.

Even some people who had entered the core area of the Succubus Clan rarely spoke about it, as if there was some agreement.

Therefore, Charm City was still bustling with people coming and going.

Especially recently, the Succubus Clan was about to hold a marriage recruitment assembly, intending to attract Prodigies from various races of the Otherworldly Demon World and marry off some people from their own clan, which undoubtedly caused the popularity to skyrocket.

As a result, Charm City has been bustling with activity during this period.

Some Otherworldly Demons with business acumen also set up their own business models in Charm City.

At this moment, at the gate of Charm City, two figures slowly appeared.

They were none other than Lu Sheng and Zhao Changsheng.

“Before, I didn’t believe that anyone from the Great Xia Human Clan had a connection with the Succubus Clan, but looking at this Charm City before me, I have to believe it!”

Lu Sheng looked at the city walls, which were extremely similar to those of Great Xia’s cities, and the subtle details in some places, and couldn't help but sigh.

From Lu Sheng’s perspective, as a Great Xia Human Clan member, Charm City was undoubtedly a replica of a city from the Great Xia Human Clan.

This was very rare, even unseen, in the Otherworldly Demon World.

Lu Sheng and Zhao Changsheng walked into Charm City, looking at the scenes around them, which brought a sense of disconnect to Lu Sheng.

This feeling was like being caught between modern and ancient times.

Some places were clearly full of modern flavor, yet they still carried an ancient charm.

This feeling also greatly surprised Lu Sheng.

“Hehe, the Succubus Clan, their most important thing is to rely on other races as their trump card. Although there is a great rift between the Great Xia Human Clan and the Otherworldly Demon World, for the Succubus Clan, any race stronger than themselves is a background they can win over!”

“So... it’s not that strange!”

Listening to Zhao Changsheng’s words, Lu Sheng couldn't help but nod.

“So, what are we doing next? According to what you said before, this marriage recruitment assembly should still be a few days away, right?”

Lu Sheng looked at Zhao Changsheng and asked.

Zhao Changsheng chuckled: “Naturally, we’re going to a good place!”

With that, Zhao Changsheng revealed a mysterious smile and led Lu Sheng towards a certain place.

Soon, their figures appeared in front of a restaurant. Looking at the constantly entering and exiting Otherworldly Demons, Lu Sheng fell silent.

He looked at Zhao Changsheng with a slightly strange expression: “So, you brought me here just for this restaurant? What’s so good about a restaurant?”

Lu Sheng was a bit confused.

Zhao Changsheng didn’t explain, he just pulled Lu Sheng inside, found a window seat, and called for a waiter to bring good wine and good food.

After completing this series of actions, Zhao Changsheng finally drank the wine in his cup and said with a smile: “I only know a little about the Succubus Clan’s marriage recruitment assembly. To know more, I still need to inquire.”

“So, what does that have to do with you bringing me to a restaurant?”

Lu Sheng looked at Zhao Changsheng expressionlessly. He suspected this guy was just trying to get free food and drinks.

Zhao Changsheng smiled confidently: “In a place like the Otherworldly Demon World, there’s no high technology like in Great Xia. All information comes from word of mouth!”

“And the place with the most mouths... is a restaurant!”

Listening to Zhao Changsheng’s words, Lu Sheng’s eyes moved, and he understood Zhao Changsheng’s meaning.

Lu Sheng had read many novels and naturally knew that such a mixed place was the best for gathering information.

Thinking of this, Lu Sheng also perked up his ears and began to collect the information he heard.

“Have you heard? It is said that this time the Succubus Clan’s marriage recruitment is extremely grand, and even some young talents from the Spirit Demon Royal Clan are preparing to come!”

“Hiss! Spirit Demon Royal Clan? No way?”

“Hehe, why not? Do you know who the main character of this marriage recruitment is?”

“Who?”

“The Succubus Saintess!”
