Chapter 17: Wild Maoshan Evil Arts! Sheep Scorpion
Regardless of how one puts it, the incident stirred up by the Wang Family this time has left a group of juniors discussing it fervently even while eating.
After all, such scenes are not something one sees often.
Many young people had never even seen a figure like one of the Ten Elders of the Outsider world before this.
This time, not only did they see one, they even saw a Ten Elder suffer a setback.
Each and every one of them was incredibly excited.
If they were to go back now, they would certainly have something to brag about.
As for awe, it is not what it used to be.
If it were in the past, the juniors would still have held a sense of awe toward the elders of various sects and the big shots of the Outsider world.
But in this era, such a sense of awe is actually much smaller, and the rules are not as strict either.
A great many people really did come to Lu Jin's birthday banquet this time.
It is estimated that once the banquet disperses, this news will spread throughout the entire Outsider world.
The Wang Family's reputation can be considered well and truly lost.
The juniors were chatting away heatedly over there.
Yet, a guest had come to see Lu Jin.
Before the birthday banquet began, the Company had already sent someone to congratulate Lu Jin on his grand birthday.
However, they did not send anyone to attend; after all, the Company has a management relationship with Outsiders, and if they had come, many people would likely have felt uneasy.
The Company knew this, so they did not send anyone at all.
But the person who came now did so because there was a matter at hand.
Since it happened in this area, it was only Nature that he should inform Lu Jin.
"Lu Lao, this is the current situation!"
"What does the Maoshan side say?"
Lu Jin asked with a frown.
It is not like the past; they place extreme importance on Outsiders causing trouble.
Merely taking action against ordinary people is an extremely serious matter, let alone killing them.
And what's more, the ones killed were minors.
"There is no definitive news from that side either; this time, the culprit used methods from the Wild Maoshan."
Lu Jin nodded.
"Two children have already been victimized, and the higher-ups are taking it very seriously and are rushing to investigate the situation. Many children have come to your birthday banquet, so I hope you can have someone remind them."
"I naturally will not stand by and watch such a thing; I will also have people look into the situation. The Company had best hurry as well; if they are truly using children to practice evil arts, there are certainly more than two."
Lu Jin has lived for so long; even if he hasn't eaten pork, he has seen pigs run.
Orthodox Shangqing Maoshan cultivation is actually not easy; cultivation also requires improving one's foundation so that it does not become unstable.
But it is different for the Wild Maoshan.
This is also the reason why Maoshan had such a great reputation in the past, coupled with the fact that many of Maoshan's cultivation methods were leaked out.
Many Outsiders who practiced heterodox arts in the past called themselves Wild Maoshan.
Of course, it is not as if there were none among them who did good.
But that is how things go: good deeds do not leave the door, while bad deeds spread for a thousand miles.
Doing good is not necessarily known by anyone, but if one does evil, it spreads across the world very quickly.
Those who used heterodox arts to commit evil but called themselves Maoshan caused the reputation of Shangqing Maoshan to plummet.
In the end, Maoshan disciples went down the mountain to sweep away a batch of Wild Maoshan, which finally allowed the Outsider world to draw a clear line between Wild Maoshan and Maoshan.
But among the Wild Maoshan, there are also formidable methods.
Especially some dark, evil, and strange heterodox arts; compared to orthodox cultivation, one's strength increases very quickly.
In fact, this has also attracted many people who are interested in the heterodox arts of the Wild Maoshan.
Among them, there are also heterodox arts that utilize human lives and flesh for cultivation.
Lu Jin is very clear about this piece of history, so if the culprit this time is using the evil arts of the Wild Maoshan, they will certainly strike again.
"Lu Lao is right; we are also rushing to investigate, hoping to find him before the culprit strikes again."
"That would be best. As for the juniors here, I will remind them."
Lu Jin nodded.
He does not know who the person causing trouble is.
But he knows that compared to ordinary people, those who practice cultivation are stronger when it comes to practicing evil arts.
If a junior were truly caught here and then used by someone to practice evil arts, then the Lu Family would have no face left to keep.
"Sorry to trouble you, Lu Lao!"
After expressing his thanks, the person turned and left in a hurry.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Jin called Lu Lin over and had Lu Lin spread the news.
Upon hearing his grandfather's words, Lu Lin naturally understood the gravity of the matter.
It has been a long time since such a thing happened in the Outsider world; even the All-Nature have been very well-behaved these past few years.
Moreover, practicing such evil arts in this era is simply courting death.
But the development of things is never as one expects.
When Lu Lin informed the group of young juniors, not only were they not afraid, but they were instead all eager to take action.
Each and every one of them wanted to uphold justice.
Zhang Lingyu's face turned livid, his expression ugly.
Clearly, he was rarely angered by what he heard.
"To actually dare to do this, he is truly courting death."
Zhang Lingyu said in a deep voice.
"Indeed, what era is this, yet he actually dares to pull off such a thing."
Lu Linglong also looked indignant.
"Senior Brother, what do you think?"
After expressing her anger, Lu Linglong turned her head to ask Lin Xuan.
"He truly deserves to die."
Lin Xuan's expression was solemn as he nodded.
However, he had guessed the culprit.
Using children to practice evil arts; it could be Wild Maoshan.
This made him think of Yang Xiezi.
He originated from the Maoshan Shangqing sect, but complained about the slow progress of Shangqing cultivation, so he practiced the Qisha Cunshen of Wild Maoshan.
It requires killing seven children using extremely vicious methods.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan stood up directly.
"Senior Brother."
Lin Xuan's movement drew the gazes of the people around him.
"There have already been two victims; there cannot be any more."
After saying this, Lin Xuan turned and left.
The people around looked at each other in dismay.
Although they were all eager to find this bastard, these juniors all knew that the elders in their families would certainly not agree.
Before long, Lin Xuan found Fang Dongtian.
At this time, Fang Dongtian, Lu Jin, and the others were sitting together, also discussing this matter.
If it really was Zhao Guizhen, his strength was not worth mentioning; any of the seniors present could easily take down Zhao Guizhen, there was no other possibility.
But this matter was too heinous.
The few were in the middle of discussing it when Lin Xuan's sudden arrival left them puzzled.
"I will go and find the person."
Lin Xuan did not waste words and spoke directly.
"What?"
Fang Dongtian was taken aback.
"The culprit."
Lin Xuan said.
"Nonsense, do you know who the culprit is?"
Fang Dongtian glared upon hearing this.
No one knew who the person who acted was; what if it was an expert?
Moreover, using such an evil art, its power must certainly be formidable.
Lin Xuan looked at Fang Dongtian, "I can make him come here himself."
As soon as these words were spoken, the few people present all stared wide-eyed.
"Is that person crazy? He dares to come here?"
Lv Ci glared with his single eye, looking speechless.
Not to mention the few old fellows here, just the reputation of the Lu family alone meant that even an evil Outsider would not dare to stroke the tiger's whiskers of the Lu family.
Lin Xuan glanced at Lv Ci and did not speak.
"Benefactor, someone with an evil, sinister aura is heading this way."
A voice rang in Lin Xuan's ear,
while the expressions of the few people present did not change, clearly having not heard it.
Lin Xuan did not waste words either; he turned and walked outside.
Seeing this, Fang Dongtian became anxious, stood up, and chased after him.
Lu Jin and the others looked at each other and stood up one after another.
What exactly is going on?
