211: Trinity Old Stories

Meanwhile, in a dimly lit basement.

Qu Tong sat on the sofa, savoring the fine wine in her cup.

Just then, Zhou Sheng walked in.

The moment he entered, his tone was very stiff.

"Where is he!?"

"Hehehe, Senior Zhou, what's the rush?"

Qu Tong swirled her red wine glass, looking at Zhou Sheng with a calm expression.

At that moment, as the door opened, a bald, pot-bellied man with an exposed chest walked in.

"Third Brother, long time no see."

"Ruan Feng!? It really is you!!! You're alright!?"

Zhou Sheng looked at everything with both shock and joy.

Ruan Feng, however, was incredibly calm internally; he could finally control himself from eating people.

Due to Qu Tong's manipulation, Ruan Feng had now completely become a chess piece.

Ruan Feng willingly accepted this precisely for this reason; otherwise, Qu Tong and her people would never have been able to control him.

Ruan Feng had long since given up on life and wanted to end himself, but he was somewhat unwilling, so he could only hide in a place like Nasen Island.

"Ruan Feng! Do you know? That brat Xu Xin is now an Elder in the Tang Clan! The commotion from that incident years ago has passed!"

"Even Feng Zhenghao, the descendant of the Feng family, has stabilized!"

Ruan Feng shook his head helplessly.

"It's different. Although Xu Xin is one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, he didn't master an Eight Wonders."

"Little Feng is a descendant of the Feng family, and he possesses unparalleled wisdom. He founded the Tianxia Association, which is why he's fine."

"I'm different! I am the creator of the Six Vault Immortal Thief, an Eight Wonders, and I'm from Quansheng!"

"Third Brother, you are from Wudang after all. Now, the Tianshi Mansion and other Schools are cracking down on Quansheng more and more severely."

Ruan Feng's original intention when joining Quansheng was simply to eat and drink well, living out his life that way.

However, he never expected that after comprehending the Six Vault Immortal Thief, he would turn himself into a man-eating demon.

He was indeed immortal, but he could devour all organic life in this world, including humans.

Initially, Ruan Feng could still control his desire for humans, trying his best not to eat them.

But as the desires in his heart swelled, his bottom line kept receding.

He went from only eating people with malicious intent towards him, to eating people he wasn't close to. It was imaginable that Ruan Feng would eventually become a beast, a monster that had lost its sanity.

Zhou Sheng didn't really care about Ruan Feng's thoughts; he didn't care whether Ruan Feng ate people or not. He was here today to take Ruan Feng away.

"Qu Tong!!! Hand Ruan Feng over to me!!!"

Qu Tong's lips curved slightly upwards.

"You've misunderstood, Senior Zhou. Senior Ruan Feng voluntarily joined us!"

"He joined your Yaoxing Society!? Nonsense! How could this wretched place of yours make Ruan Feng join!?"

"Ruan Feng! Come with me! I'll take you to see old friends from back then!"

"Third Brother, please leave. I truly wish to stay here. Qu Tong can help me. If I leave with you, I really won't be able to control myself..."

Qu Tong immediately stepped forward and smiled.

"Senior Zhou, you've seen him now, and you know Ruan Feng's thoughts. Can we discuss our cooperation now?"

...At the same time, at another location, the former site of the San Yi Sect, Li Muxuan had already defeated everyone who challenged him below the stage.

Lin Yuan sat in his seat, looking around. Seeing no one else, he signaled to Lu Lin.

Lu Lin instantly understood. He stood up straight.

"Everyone!! Regarding the grievances with Senior Li Muxuan, does anyone else wish to step forward and challenge him?"

"If not!! Then it's our Lu family's turn!!"

After a moment, Lu Jin saw that there were still no challengers below the stage, so he directly stood up and slowly walked towards the high platform.

"Li Muxuan!!! The grievances of today! Will be settled today!"

"If I die today, the Lu family will not take any retaliatory actions against you or your family! The grievances of yesteryear will be settled here and now!!!"

As soon as Lu Jin finished speaking, Li Muxuan burst into laughter: "Me too!!!"

The next second, after they both spoke, they charged fiercely towards each other.

Lu Jin went all out from the start, activating Reverse Life Threefold and Heaven-Reaching Talisman, unleashing a barrage of attacks at Li Muxuan.

Li Muxuan displayed Reversing Eight Directions, gathering a large amount of magnetic field to defend himself.

Lu Jin was temporarily unable to inflict effective damage on the layer of magnetic field around him.

Lu Jin's fighting style was very simple: a long-range mage, with self-healing abilities, high attack, and high defense. Under the enhancement of Reverse Life Threefold, he could fight freely.

Li Muxuan, on the other hand, was purely a skill-based player, often utilizing complex mechanics to execute dazzling maneuvers.

Lu Jin's speed and attack power were far superior to Li Muxuan's, but Li Muxuan's magnetic field was quite troublesome.

Now, both sides had officially entered a war of attrition; it was just a matter of who would give out first.

Boom boom boom!!!

A series of explosive sounds echoed, and terrifying Qi waves surged towards the crowd below the stage, one after another.

Everyone present widened their eyes, intently watching the battle between the two.

Lu Jin and Li Muxuan were both among the top tier of people in the Outsider World.

Such a confrontation was rare, occurring once every few decades, and watching it posed no threat to their lives.

They could all learn something, more or less.

This kind of opportunity was too precious.

Although they very much wanted to observe Lin Yuan's battle, watching Lin Yuan's battle carried extreme risks; one wrong move and they might be shaken to death.

They still wanted to live a few more years.

Moreover, Lin Yuan's moves were incomprehensible to watch and impossible to learn... "Heh heh, Lu Jin, after all these years, is this all the strength you have left?"

"You constantly boasted about bearing the glory of the San Yi Sect, and this is all it amounts to!?"

"Bastard!!!!"

Lu Jin roared, unleashing an attack without reservation.

Seeing this, Li Muxuan also controlled his magnetic field to strike Lu Jin.

Lu Jin's hand-blade pierced through Li Muxuan's chest, and Li Muxuan's magnetic field blasted off half of Lu Jin's head.

The scene instantly fell silent. Lu Lin anxiously stepped forward. He clearly knew that his Great-Grandfather's Reverse Life Threefold, whose Realm had not reached the Peak of the second stage, had consumed a large amount of Qi during the duel. If not handled properly...

Before Lu Lin could step forward, the white Qi around Lu Jin continuously surged, beginning to rapidly repair his injuries.

In the final moments, Lu Jin faced life and death with indifference, finally achieving a Breakthrough to the Peak of Reverse Life Twofold. In truth, Lu Jin could have reached this Realm much earlier, but he had been trapped by his Heart Demon for years and hadn't truly come to terms with life and death.

However, just now, he completely let go of life and death, taking that crucial step. This time, he successfully reached the second Realm that Zuo Ruotong had once been in.

Lu Jin was not unafraid of death; rather, it was because he could not die yet. If he died, no one would remember the San Yi Sect's revenge.

Even Lu Jin himself hadn't expected to achieve a Breakthrough.
