Hidden Sky Secret Codex

The first step to solving a problem is establishing authority, so Lu Shui didn't plan on holding back his strength, and his voice carried the Power of Heaven and Earth.

His seemingly calm words could give people a sense of vastness and ethereality, like Sacred Words descending from the heavens.

These Sacred Words were enough to shock the minds of those with shallow cultivation.

At this moment, everyone present felt a sense of dread.

Especially the Liang family, who had looked at Lu Shui earlier. They didn't dare to delay, immediately lowering their heads and kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak or look up.

Sect Leader Tian Nü and the others, who felt all of this, were also filled with after-fear. They lowered their heads even more tightly, never daring to have the slightest thought of looking up.

Even True Martial and True Spirit behind them subconsciously lowered their heads; young master's Aura was too strange and terrifying.

Lu Shui sighed, his Power of Heaven and Earth was almost depleted.

However, temporarily deterring these people was a good thing.

Subsequently, Lu Shui spoke towards the Liang Family Direction:

"Someone said the Mysterious Book is in this Seat's hands."

Upon hearing this sentence, the Liang family and others felt anxious, as if the Scythe of the Death God was at their throats.

They wanted to explain something, but they didn't dare to.

At this moment, Lu Shui's voice sounded again:

"The Mysterious Book is indeed in this Seat's hands, this is a fact.

Correct?"

This sentence directly impacted Liang Tie's heart. Finally, he suppressed the fear in his heart and respectfully said:

"Yes, Senior, the Mysterious Book is indeed in your hands."

Saying this, Liang Tie lowered his head and respectfully sent the Mysterious Book to Lu Shui.

The Mysterious Book automatically floated into Lu Shui's hand, and then Lu Shui continued:

"Then, what crime should the person who spread the news of this Seat possessing the Mysterious Book be punished with?"

As he said this sentence, Lu Shui's gaze fell upon those few people he met in the cafe, including that girl.

These people perceived Lu Shui's clear gaze and immediately prostrated themselves on the ground, begging:

"Please, Senior, forgive us."

Liang Tie gave a bitter smile internally, but that was his daughter after all. He finally offered a lotus flower, pleading:

"Please, Senior, accept the Sky Water Snow Lotus, please, Senior, quell your anger."

Lu Shui remained silent for a moment, and this moment made the Liang family and others sweat profusely, as if several centuries had passed.

Finally, Lu Shui's voice came:

"Those who self-destruct their Sea of Qi may live."

Once the Sea of Qi is destroyed, one can only be a Commoner for life.

For a cultivator, this is more painful than death.

Liang Zheng didn't hesitate and directly self-destructed her Sea of Qi.

The other few people also chose to live.

Puff~

Those people all spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell unconscious.

Lu Shui accepted the Sky Water Snow Lotus and no longer paid attention to the Liang family. This was his Limit Reached; if he pushed further, he would have to act himself.

But he didn't have the strength to act.

Having True Martial and True Spirit act would diminish the status he had previously displayed, making it Not Worth the Loss.

Then he looked at the Faceless Sect and others. Just as he looked over, and those people perceived his gaze, Lu Shui was surprised to find that Sect Leader Tian Nü had cooperated.

She placed all her belongings in front of her without even moving her head, then respectfully said:

"This is all the Savings of our Faceless Sect. Please, Senior, show mercy."

Lu Shui forcefully swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat.

Without a word, he waved his hand and took away all of the Faceless Sect's belongings.

Finally, Lu Shui turned around and strode away.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, finally seeing off this terrifying Senior.

But who was that person?

After hesitating for a moment, Sect Leader Tian Nü immediately said:

"Senior, may I know your Name, so that in the future, when we hear of anyone related to you, we can proactively make way.

To avoid causing you any displeasure."

Lu Shui smiled faintly. Someone had finally asked the question.

He didn't stop walking, but his voice carried back, "Hidden Heaven Sect, Young Master, Liu Huo."

If the Young Master of the Lu Family isn't useful, then use the Young Master of a hidden sect. This should make them believe, right?

True Martial and True Spirit didn't know what to say for a moment. As expected, the Young Master was still so exaggerated and unreliable. Wasn't this acting recklessly?

But they were very confused. Was the Young Master really ordinary? The ordinary Young Master from before, wasn't he just pretending? If the Third Elder and the others saw what the Young Master just did, the entire Lu Family would protect him, wouldn't they?

Thinking of this, True Martial understood somewhat, yet he also felt confused. The Young Master's strength was clearly still Second Tier. How did he do that just now? Was it his own ability, or did he truly rely on a magical artifact? True Martial couldn't figure it out. He decided to ask later.

After Lu Shui revealed his name, the Faceless Sect and the Liang Family were both shocked. Hidden, Hidden Heaven Sect?

After Lu Shui and them left, Sect Leader Tian Nü exchanged a look with Elder Nan beside her. Their eyes revealed a hint of lingering fear, but more than that, it was horror.

"Sect Leader, the Hidden Heaven Sect the person mentioned, it wouldn't be the one we saw last time, would it?" Elder Nan asked.

Sect Leader Tian Nü also seemed flustered. "Let's investigate first."

Soon, Elder Nan flipped open an ancient text and then saw the records about the Hidden Heaven Sect: "When light and darkness intertwine, when the sun, moon, and stars shine together. Mortals below the hidden world sing in harmony, swordsmen walk above the Heavenly Dao. The Hidden Sky Secret Codex, written in blood."

Hearing this sentence, many were confused. Sect Leader Tian Nü said in panic, "Look around, is there a Hidden Sky Secret Codex? Quickly."

Everyone was startled and began to search. Even the Liang Family members did the same. Soon, everyone finished their checks. There was no Hidden Sky Secret Codex.

"Sect Leader, what is the Hidden Sky Secret Codex?" Elder Bei also returned.

Everyone else watched Sect Leader Tian Nü. The Liang Family members seemed to be watching too; they didn't quite understand either.

"The Hidden Sky Secret Codex is written in blood. Only names of people and things are written on the Codex. Once written, escape is impossible, no matter how far you go," Sect Leader Tian Nü said.

Elder Nan also added, "Sect Leader is right. Even powerful forces are extremely wary of the Hidden Heaven Sect. If we offend them, the entire sect won't be enough to die. Like just now."

One by one, they gasped. Recalling the moment just now, it truly felt like surviving a disaster.

"Sect Leader, what do we do now?" a surviving disciple asked. The only ones left alive were women, or rather, those who had followed Sect Leader Tian Nü from the beginning. Otherwise, they wouldn't have learned to kneel before her.

Sect Leader Tian Nü pondered for a moment and said, "Let's flee this place first and hide in a small corner for a few years before coming out. We still have to take the blame for the trouble caused by the Left and Right Protectors and the East and West Elders this time."

It's so hard to be the Sect Leader. When the Left and Right Protectors and the East and West Elders were around, the Sect Leader had little right to speak. Now that they were dead, the Sect Leader still had to take the blame.

Subsequently, they turned and left, completely ignoring the Liang Family members. The Liang Family members were also fortunate, as the other party still had three Fourth Tier experts. If a fight had broken out, they might have been annihilated.

"Let's leave quickly too. Don't spread the word about encountering a Hidden Heaven Sect senior today." They nodded. Who would dare to spread the word? Wouldn't that be seeking death?

Liang Tie looked at the unconscious Liang Zheng and finally sighed, shaking his head. The Liang Family had survived this calamity, but he didn't know if he had done the right thing or the wrong thing. In the end, he still hadn't managed to keep the mysterious book.
