180: Chapter 180 The Mysterious Man of the Holy Spirit Cult Appears

Lu Zheng also saw the man who appeared, but he did not show any signs of abnormality.

When Senior Brother Li Hongyi spoke, the mysterious man also noticed Lu Zheng's presence, or rather, it was precisely because of Lu Zheng that he had shown himself.

There was a hint of confusion in the gaze he directed at Lu Zheng.

Although he was a Bishop of the Holy Spirit Sect, he did not understand why the Archbishop had asked him to bring this youth back.

However, after investigating for some time, he discovered the peculiarities about the youth named Lu Zheng. Previously, the people dispatched by the Holy Spirit Sect were all more or less related to him, but they had all disappeared without a trace later on.

"Remember our agreement."

"When the time comes, he must be given to me."

A voice rang out, and Senior Brother Li Hongyi nodded slowly. Seeing this, the mysterious man did not say anything more and slowly departed; his purpose in coming was to verify whether what the Dreamers said was true.

Since Lu Zheng was indeed in his hands, then they would proceed according to the agreement.

After he left, Lu Zheng watched the disappearing figure and muttered in his heart.

"Another person from the Holy Spirit Sect."

"And their strength is not low either."

"But who exactly is the 'him' that he was talking about?"

"Is it someone else, or... is it me?"

A guess slowly formed in his heart. Although he did not know what agreement Senior Brother Li Hongyi had reached with this Holy Spirit Sect, it seemed that things were becoming increasingly complicated.

"Are you curious about who that was?"

Zhao Mengzhu, who was on the side, suddenly spoke. Before Lu Zheng could respond, Zhao Mengzhu continued on her own.

"That person is a Bishop of the Holy Spirit Sect."

"From what I understand, you should know what kind of organization the Holy Spirit Sect is."

"Moreover, the Holy Spirit Sect is also related to this incident in Jianghai City, oh..."

"That's enough!"

Senior Brother Li Hongyi interrupted Zhao Mengzhu. He did not want Lu Zheng to know so much and gave Zhao Mengzhu a dissatisfied look. Zhao Mengzhu made a gesture of having spoken out of turn and hurriedly said.

"Oops, I said too much, I can't say any more."

However, she felt a little gleeful in her heart at this moment; she had said it on purpose.

She just wanted to see what would happen after Lu Zheng learned all this, and what kind of reaction he would have after his Senior Brother handed him over to the Holy Spirit Sect later.

She would not let Senior Brother Li Hongyi and Lu Zheng truly develop a bond of brotherhood, which would delay future matters. Even if it was just a possibility, she had to erase it.

As for what would happen after Lu Zheng found out, there was nothing to worry about; with the two of them watching, how could he possibly escape?

"Senior Brother, is that person really related to the anomaly in Jianghai City?"

Looking at Senior Brother Li Hongyi, Lu Zheng voiced his guess, and Senior Brother Li Hongyi was surprised that Lu Zheng dared to ask him. However, perhaps out of a hint of apology towards Lu Zheng, or perhaps for other reasons, he slowly spoke.

"That's right."

Hearing his Senior Brother speak, Lu Zheng said again.

"If he is killed, will the anomaly in Jianghai City end?"

Before Senior Brother Li Hongyi could speak, Zhao Mengzhu, who was on the side, could not help but giggle upon hearing these words.

"Hahaha, you are right to say that."

"If he is killed, the incident in Jianghai City will indeed end."

"However, don't even think about that point. Apart from one of the Twelve Generals of the Heavenly Palace, even your Senior Brother cannot kill this person easily."

Zhao Mengzhu was not lying; the strength of that Bishop of the Holy Spirit Sect had just broken through to the high stage of the Third Tier. Even compared to Senior Brother Li Hongyi, he was not inferior at all, and perhaps even stronger.

If it weren't for the fact that he was wary of her identity, and that taking action might attract the attention of one of the Twelve Generals of the Heavenly Palace, he would have just taken action and snatched Lu Zheng away just now.

However, seeing the look on Senior Brother Li Hongyi's face, Zhao Mengzhu knew she could not say any more. If she continued and really angered him, she would not have an easy time.

But Lu Zheng seemed not to realize this and continued to ask.

"Senior Brother, then how do you plan to resolve this matter?"

Lu Zheng asked. Senior Brother Li Hongyi did not explain much, just said slowly.

"Since I have promised the City Lord of Jianghai City about this matter, I will naturally accomplish it."

"As for what method I use, do I need to report that to you?"

Lu Zheng did not speak again upon hearing this, while Zhao Mengzhu, who was on the side, could barely hold back her laughter; her goal had been achieved.

Lu Zheng, oh Lu Zheng, you still don't know, do you? You have already been sold out by your Senior Brother.

Resolving the incident in Jianghai City is very simple; that is to hand you over to the Holy Spirit Sect.

However, Zhao Mengzhu knew this point. It might be more interesting to let Lu Zheng find the answer himself rather than saying it out loud. Right now, Lu Zheng's heart might already be filled with confusion and fear towards his Senior Brother.

But at this moment, no one could guess Lu Zheng's true thoughts.

Lu Zheng thought of the figure from the Holy Spirit Sect that had just left.

Their combat power had already reached 900 points.

Even if he took action himself, he would be no match for them at all. Since the Holy Spirit Sect had sent someone with such strong combat power to Jianghai City without letting any news leak out, their plot must be deep.

It would definitely not be just to simply cause an incident for Jianghai City. After all, with their methods, it would not be difficult to directly take action and destroy Jianghai City.

Are they here for The Great Tomb?

Regardless of what their purpose actually is, as long as that person from the Holy Spirit Sect is killed, it should be able to resolve this incident in Jianghai City and rescue Old Yu.

And the most urgent thing right now is to increase his own combat power.

Right now, his Clone is devouring crazily in the mountains, and the energy points are increasing at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, there is also the Spirit Stone Mine distributed to the Clone.

However, only the main body can devour the Spirit Stone Mine, and the main body cannot go there for the time being.

As for Jianghai City where the main body is, he has not yet had the chance to go to that Qianxing Lake. He has long been impatient for the Spirit Stone Mine there. However, Qianxing Lake is currently being guarded tightly by heavy troops, and there may be other factions involved, so he has dismissed this idea.

Therefore, he can only set his target on his Senior Brother.

Right now, he has not yet learned the fist technique of the Third Realm for his Baji Fist, and there is a very good opportunity right in front of him.

Lu Zheng had not yet thought about how to speak, when Senior Brother Li Hongyi began to speak.

"How is your Baji Fist practice going now?"

Speaking of which, Senior Brother Li Hongyi's heart was also somewhat conflicted. Although he knew that his Junior Brother would not survive, he still wanted to see his talent. After all, his goal from the beginning was Lu Zheng.

He had an ability, which was to be able to devour other living beings to enhance his own foundation. It was also because of this point that his strength could grow so quickly.

"Peak of the Second Realm."

Lu Zheng said. Hearing these words, Senior Brother Li Hongyi showed a hint of surprise. To possess the strength of the Third Tier while only at the Peak of the Second Realm meant his Junior Brother's talent was even stronger than he had imagined.

Suddenly, he became interested; he wanted to see how long it would take for him to master the fist technique of the Third Realm.
