Demonic Cult! Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Veins!

Cloud City, Heaven and Earth Dojo.

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

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

He gently raised his head, managing to reveal a slightly pale face.

Looking at the grand entrance of the Heaven and Earth Dojo before him, the black-robed figure couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile.

"Heaven and Earth Dojo..."

"I never thought someone like me would ever get to meet an old senior of the human race!"

The black-robed figure 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 Dojo.

A refined young man slowly walked over.

He looked at the black-robed figure before him, smiled slightly, and said softly, "You're finally here!"

As if he had already known the person before him, the black-robed figure simply said indifferently, "I didn't expect to encounter someone from the Heaven Vein here. It seems your Heaven Vein is also unwilling to be left out!"

The young man, upon hearing this, seemed not to have noticed the mockery in the other's words, maintaining his smile.

"We must be diligent in treating the old seniors of the human race, otherwise... the Heaven, Earth, and Human Veins will all have to pay a great price."

"Heh heh!"

The black-robed figure chuckled, then calmly said, "Are you all ready?"

The young man nodded.

Without any hesitation, the black-robed figure stepped forward, directly entering the gates of the Heaven and Earth Dojo.

"Since that's the case... then let us two meet this old senior of the human race!"

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

The two slowly walked towards the depths of the Heaven and Earth Dojo. Along the way, the outer disciples of the Heaven and Earth Dojo lay sprawled on the ground, appearing to be unconscious.

As a result...

Their entry did not cause much of a stir.

In the deepest part of the Heaven and Earth Dojo, there was a backyard.

The backyard was filled with many precious trees whose names couldn't be recalled, and colorful flowers gently swayed with the breeze.

A refreshing fragrance permeated the air.

Just taking a single breath made one feel refreshed and invigorated.

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

An old man lay in the rattan chair, gently rocking. The sun in the sky cast down rays of light, falling gently upon the old man.

Warm sunlight, fragrant air...

Everything was so pleasant.

The old man lay quietly in the rattan chair, seemingly taking a nap.

However, it wasn't long before the old man's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with endless vicissitudes.

He seemed to have sensed something, casting a subtle glance towards the direction outside the small courtyard, then quickly retracted his gaze.

"These guys are really annoying!"

The old man spoke softly, his voice neither happy nor sad, devoid of any emotion, only an endless calmness.

A moment later, two sets of footsteps could be heard from outside the small courtyard.

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

Then, a voice with a smile slowly rang out.

"Demonic Cult's Human Vein... Zhao Changsheng, greets Elder Kong Yun!"

"Demonic Cult's Heaven Vein... Wang Lin, pays respects to the Dojo Master!"

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

Kong Yun lay in the rattan chair, his eyes slightly closed, his expression utterly calm.

"Since you're here, come in. Don't tell me... the two proud sons of the Demonic Cult are afraid of an old man like me?"

Kong Yun said indifferently.

Then, the halted footsteps resumed, and they slowly walked into the courtyard.

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

Upon seeing Kong Yun, the two became extremely docile and well-behaved. They first bowed respectfully to Kong Yun, who was lying in the rattan chair, and then Zhao Changsheng revealed a smile and spoke.

"The old senior is truly living a leisurely life. In this day and age, to still be able to live so peacefully."

"But with the old senior living so peacefully, our Demonic Cult feels a bit uneasy!"

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

However, Kong Yunzhang acted as if he hadn't heard Zhao Changsheng's voice, merely shifting his gaze to Wang Lin.

"I didn't expect you to be one of those from the Heaven Vein. But it makes sense. The Demonic Cult's three veins: the Human Vein accepts all disciples, the Earth Vein follows the Demon God and categorizes people by rank, but the Heaven Vein... is extremely mysterious. The Martial Alliance and the Military have clashed with the Demonic Cult for so many years, yet we've rarely seen anyone from the Heaven Vein."

"I never imagined... that this old man would actually see a successor of the Heaven Vein today. You truly think highly of me!"

Kong Yunzhang said with a faint smile, his gaze falling upon Wang Lin.

Wang Lin's lips still held a refined smile. "What does the Heaven Vein matter, or what does the Demonic Cult matter? If the Dojo Master is willing to take me as a personal disciple, I wouldn't mind betraying the Demonic Cult!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Changsheng's expression immediately changed slightly. He looked grimly at Wang Lin, a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Wang Lin, what are you doing!!"

Zhao Changsheng reprimanded him.

But Wang Lin, much like Kong Yunzhang, did not seem to pay any attention to Zhao Changsheng beside him.

"Heh heh, take a disciple?"

Kong Yunzhang smiled faintly, as if recalling something, and slowly sat up straight.

"If my little disciple hadn't appeared, perhaps I wouldn't have minded taking you as a disciple. But it's a pity... my little disciple is my final disciple!"

"Compared to him..."

"You are not worthy!!"

Kong Yunzhang's tone seemed to deepen slightly at this moment.

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

"Third Senior Brother's talent is indeed not weak, but when compared to the prodigies of the entire Great Xia, he still falls a bit short!"

Wang Lin said calmly.

Kong Yunzhang let out a cold laugh and didn't answer his question, merely stating plainly.

"Speak, why has your Demonic Cult gone to such lengths to find me?"

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

Zhao Changsheng took a deep breath, his gaze falling on Kong Yunzhang. A brilliant smile appeared on his pale face.

"Naturally, we are here to ask you, an old senior of the human race..."

"To properly enjoy your retirement, and not to be entangled in the affairs of the Demon God and humanity!"

As soon as these words were uttered, a sharp light shot out from Kong Yunzhang's eyes.

Cloud City First High School.

Inside the Martial Arts Training Hall.

Thump!

A dull thud echoed.

A burly figure slammed heavily onto the stage, the immense force even causing cracks to appear on the stage floor.

And standing on the stage was a lean figure.

This standing figure was none other than Lu Sheng.

As for the person Lu Sheng had defeated and who lay on the ground, it was Hong Wu.

Hong Wu struggled to get up from the ground, his gaze towards Lu Sheng filled with intense apprehension.

"I lost!"

Hong Wu said through gritted teeth.

Although Hong Wu had cultivated to the Peak Blood Qi Realm last month, a month had passed, and he still hadn't broken through the Blood Qi limit.

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

While Hong Wu's talent was decent, breaking through the Blood Qi limit would inevitably take some time.

And Lu Sheng...

He had already broken through his own Blood Qi limit several days ago, increasing his Blood Qi to eleven.

Coupled with a physique comparable to a Martial Artist in the Second Layer of Blood Refining...

It could almost be described as a massacre!

With Hong Wu's surrender, the gazes of the people in the Martial Arts Class below towards Lu Sheng became even more respectful.

First, he defeated the demonized Bai Mo, then he forced Jian Yunlong to surrender, and now he had instantly annihilated Hong Wu.

Such strength...

This is terrifying!

Even Chen Zhen, a Martial Artist in the Hundred Meridians Realm, was stunned.

Although he had noticed Lu Sheng during the first ranking assessment and had specifically observed him during the last one, he hadn't expected Lu Sheng to have grown to this extent in just one month.

Even for him, a veteran who had retired from the battlefield, he was somewhat shocked by the current situation.

In the rest 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 figure.

Kong Xin then said calmly, "With Junior Disciple Brother's strength, there are almost no peers his age in this small Cloud City who can match him!"

"Perhaps, as Father said, it's time to let Junior Disciple Brother see more distant scenery."

Lan Linglong sat quietly beside her, not speaking, but softly saying, "Senior Sister... don't you think the timing of the Demon-Infusing Pill's appearance is a bit too coincidental?"

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

Then, Lan Linglong's voice continued to sound.

"First, Bai Mo arranged for someone to assassinate Junior Disciple Brother, which also made you think of returning to take a look. The Bai Family had clearly already been exiled, but just as we were observing Junior Disciple Brother's ranking assessment, the Demon-Infusing Pill appeared!"

"With your temper, Senior Sister, you would naturally want to thoroughly investigate the entire Cloud City upon the appearance of the Demon-Infusing Pill. But now..."

"There's no one at the Heaven and Earth Dojo!"
