43: Demonic Cult! The Three Veins of Heaven, Earth, and Man!

Yun City, Heaven and Earth Martial Hall.

At the entrance of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall, a thin figure was shrouded in a loose black robe.

The sunlight shone down, but it was impossible to see the person's face clearly.

He gently raised his head, barely revealing a slightly pale cheek.

Looking at the grand entrance of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall, the black-robed man couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile.

"Heaven and Earth Martial Hall..."

"I never thought that someone like me would one day be able to meet a Old senior of the Human Race!"

The black-robed man let out a strange laugh, then slowly lowered his head, looking straight ahead, as if waiting for something.

A moment later, a calm sound of footsteps came from within the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall.

A refined young man slowly walked over.

He looked at the black-robed man in front of him, smiled slightly, and said softly, "You've finally arrived!"

The black-robed man seemed to have known this person would be there, and simply said indifferently, "I didn't expect to meet someone from the Heaven Vein here. It seems you Heaven Vein people are not content either!"

The young man heard this, but seemed not to have caught the sarcasm in the other party's words, maintaining his gentle smile.

"One must always be diligent when dealing with a Old senior of the Human Race, otherwise... the three Veins of Heaven, Earth, and Man will surely pay a great price."

"Heh heh!"

The black-robed man sneered, then calmly said, "Are everything ready?"

The young man nodded.

The black-robed man didn't hesitate either, stepping forward and directly entering the main gate of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall.

"In that case... let us two go and meet this Old senior of the Human Race!"

The black-robed man murmured, his figure gradually merging into the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall.

The two slowly walked towards the depths of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall. Along the way, the Outer Sect Disciples of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall lay sprawled on the ground, seemingly unconscious.

As a result... their entry did not cause much disturbance... In the deepest part of the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall, there was a backyard.

The backyard was filled with many precious trees whose names could not be identified, and colorful flowers gently swayed with the breeze.

A faint fragrance permeated the air.

Just taking a breath made one feel refreshed and invigorated.

In the small courtyard, a rattan chair was quietly placed.

An Elder lay on the rattan chair, gently swaying. The sun in the sky cast rays of light, falling flatly on the Elder's body.

The gentle sunlight, the fragrant air... everything was so pleasant.

The Elder lay quietly on the rattan chair, seemingly taking a nap.

But not long after, the Elder's eyelids trembled slightly, then he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with endless vicissitudes of life.

He seemed to sense something, and imperceptibly glanced in the direction outside the small courtyard, then quickly withdrew his gaze.

"These guys are really annoying!"

The Elder spoke softly, his voice neither happy nor sad, devoid of any emotion, only an endless calm.

A moment later, two sets of footsteps came from outside the small courtyard.

However, the owners of those footsteps seemed not to be in a hurry to enter, stopping at the entrance of the small courtyard.

Then, a voice with a smile slowly sounded.

"Demon Sect Human Vein... Zhao Changsheng, greets Old senior Kong Yunchang!"

"Demon Sect Heaven Vein... Wang Lin, pays respects to the Hall Master!"

The two voices sounded simultaneously, both carrying a hint of reverence.

Kong Yunchang lay on the rattan chair, his eyes slightly closed, his face incomparably calm.

"Since you're here, then come in. Could it be... that two Prodigies of the Demon Sect are afraid of an old man like me?"

Kong Yunchang spoke indifferently.

Then, the paused footsteps sounded again, slowly walking into the courtyard.

The figures of the black-robed man Zhao Changsheng and the refined young man Wang Lin slowly appeared.

When they saw Kong Yunchang, they became extremely docile and obedient. They first respectfully bowed slightly to Kong Yunchang, who was lying on the rattan chair, then Zhao Changsheng smiled and spoke.

"Old senior is truly at ease. In this day and age, to still be able to live so comfortably."

"It's just that while Old senior lives so comfortably, our Demon Sect feels a little uneasy!"

Zhao Changsheng smiled slightly, his eyes narrowing with his smile, carrying a hint of sharpness as he looked directly at Kong Yunchang, who was lying on the rattan chair.

However, Kong Yunchang seemed not to have heard Zhao Changsheng's voice, and simply focused his gaze on Wang Lin.

"I didn't expect you to be one of those from the Heaven Vein. But then again, among the three Veins of the Demon Sect, the Human Vein is inclusive, the Earth Vein follows the Demon God, dividing into ranks, while the Heaven Vein... is extremely mysterious. The Martial Alliance and the military have fought the Demon Sect for so many years, yet rarely seen anyone from the Heaven Vein."

"I didn't expect... this old man would actually get to see a successor of the Heaven Vein today. You truly think highly of this old man!"

Kong Yunchang smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's lips still held a refined smile: "What does Heaven Vein matter, or Demon Sect? If the Hall Master is willing to take me as a Personal Disciple, I wouldn't mind betraying the Demon Sect!"

At these words, Zhao Changsheng's expression immediately changed slightly, and he looked at Wang Lin with a gloomy, sharp gaze.

"Wang Lin, what are you doing!!"

Zhao Changsheng reprimanded him.

However, Wang Lin, like Kong Yunchang, didn't pay attention to Zhao Changsheng.

"Heh heh, taking a Disciple?"

Kong Yunchang smiled slightly, as if he had thought of something, and slowly sat up.

"If my Little Junior Brother hadn't appeared, perhaps I wouldn't mind taking you as a Disciple. But unfortunately... my Little Junior Brother is my last Disciple!"

"Compared to him..."

"You are not worthy!!"

Kong Yunchang's tone, at this moment, seemed to have intensified a bit.

Wang Lin's refined face showed a rare flicker of emotion, but he quickly returned to his previous demeanor.

"Third Senior Brother's talent is indeed not weak, but compared to the Prodigies of the entire Great Xia, he is still a bit lacking, isn't he!"

Wang Lin spoke indifferently.

Kong Yunchang sneered and did not answer his question, merely saying indifferently.

"Tell me, what do you Demon Sect want to do, going to such great lengths to find this old man?"

Wang Lin's brows furrowed slightly, and he also chose to remain silent.

Meanwhile, Zhao Changsheng took a deep breath, his gaze falling on Kong Yunchang, and a brilliant smile appeared on his pale face.

"Naturally, it is to ask you, Old senior of the Human Race..."

"To properly enjoy your retirement, and not to be greedy for the affairs of the Demon God and the Human Race!"

At these words, a sharp glint instantly shot out from Kong Yunchang's eyes... Yun City No. 1 High School.

Inside the Martial Arts Training Hall.

Thud!

A muffled sound was heard.

A burly figure slammed heavily onto the arena. The immense force even caused cracks to appear in the arena's floor.

And on the arena, a thin figure still stood.

This standing figure was none other than Lu Sheng.

As for the guy who was defeated by Lu Sheng and lay on the ground, that was Hong Wu.

Hong Wu struggled to get up from the ground, his eyes filled with intense apprehension as he looked at Lu Sheng.

"I lost!"

Hong Wu said, almost gritting his teeth.

Although Hong Wu had already Cultivated to the Peak of the Qi Blood Realm last month, a month had passed, and he still hadn't broken through his Qi and Blood Limit.

After all, breaking through the Qi and Blood Limit was not an easy feat. Among a thousand Martial Artists at the Peak of the Qi Blood Realm, it would be good if one could break through the Qi and Blood Limit.

Although Hong Wu's talent was good, it was impossible to break through the Qi and Blood Limit without spending some time.

As for Lu Sheng... he had already broken through his Qi and Blood Limit several days ago, raising his Qi and Blood to eleven.

Coupled with his Physical Body, which was comparable to a Blood Refinement second-layer Martial Artist... it could almost be described as bullying the weak!

With Hong Wu's concession, the Martial Arts Class students below looked at Lu Sheng with increasing respect.

First, he defeated the demonized Bai Mo, then forced Jian Yunlong to concede, and now instantly killed Hong Wu.

Such strength... was simply terrifying!

Even Chen Zhen, a Hundred Meridians Realm Martial Artist, was stunned at this moment.

Although he had noticed Lu Sheng during the first ranking assessment, he had paid even more attention to Lu Sheng during the last ranking assessment.

But he never expected that in just one month, Lu Sheng would have grown to this extent.

Even he, an old soldier who had retired from the battlefield, was somewhat shocked by the current situation.

In the resting area, Kong Xin watched Lu Sheng defeat Hong Wu, and the cold glint in her eyes gradually disappeared.

She stretched lazily, fully revealing her perfect physique.

Kong Xin then spoke indifferently: "With Little Junior Brother's strength, in this small Yun City... almost no peers are a match for Little Junior Brother!"

"Perhaps... as Father said, it's time for Little Junior Brother to see a broader world."

Lan Linglong sat quietly beside her, not speaking, but softly said.

"Senior Sister... don't you think the timing of the Demonization Pill's appearance is a bit too coincidental?"

Listening to Lan Linglong's words, a glint flashed in Kong Xin's eyes.

Then she heard Lan Linglong's voice continue.

"First, Bai Mo had someone assassinate Little Junior Brother, which also made you want to come back and see. The Bai family has clearly been exiled, but just as we were observing Little Junior Brother's ranking assessment, the Demonization Pill appeared!"

"With the appearance of the Demonization Pill, given your temperament, Senior Sister, you would naturally thoroughly investigate the entire Yun City, but now..."

"There's no one in the Heaven and Earth Martial Hall!"
