What do you want to say, Senior Brother Lu?"
Inside a pavilion within San Yi Sect, Luo Men sat opposite Lu Jin, poured a cup of tea for Lu Jin, and then poured one for himself.
The tea was made from high-quality leaves; although it was the late stage of the War of Resistance, San Yi Sect's strength meant they did not lack such things as tea leaves.
"I hope to use the power of San Yi Sect to protect someone."
After a moment of hesitation, Lu Jin looked at Luo Men, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
When he said San Yi Sect, he primarily meant Luo Men.
Having reached the third realm of Inverse Life Triple, Luo Men was currently at the peak of the world. Protecting a wielder of one of the Eight Wonders was a trivial matter to him.
Previously, in a fit of impulse, he hadn't thought of finding his good brother for protection first, instead intending to seek revenge on Wu Gensheng. But now that Luo Men was fully capable of resolving the issue with Wu Gensheng, he began to think about protecting his good brother.
Although Zheng Zibu had sworn brotherhood with his enemy Wu Gensheng, he was still his good brother at the end of the day. Therefore, if there was a chance, he still wanted to save him.
Since the Lu family was founded, their family tradition had always been upright. The current situation called for various factions to unite against foreign enemies. The Lu family chose to stay out of the matter of the Thirty-Six Thieves list being leaked, which meant not causing trouble and not wanting to associate with any of the Thirty-Six Thieves.
Relying on his family's power to protect his good friend was certainly unrealistic, and his own strength was definitely insufficient to protect his good brother, which led him to think of Luo Men.
However, getting involved in this matter would cause some trouble for San Yi Sect, which was why he was somewhat hesitant.
Seeing a slight awkwardness appear on Lu Jin's handsome face, Luo Men took a sip of his tea.
He knew that in the original historical timeline, the decision to seek revenge on Wu Gensheng first directly led to the demise of San Yi Sect, and when he finally found Zheng Zibu, he couldn't save him either. Lu Jin was known for his flawless life, and his only inner demons were roughly these two matters.
Luo Men was quite fond of Lu Jin.
Although he was a bit incautious, his personality was good, and he was quite good to him. If he could help, he naturally would.
This matter, for him, was actually not a problem.
"If it's really not possible, then just consider me..."
"It's fine. Just come back when you find him. My San Yi Sect isn't afraid of such a small karmic entanglement."
Was taking on a wielder of one of the Eight Wonders a problem for San Yi Sect?
One could say yes, there was a little bit, but one could also say no.
As long as it wasn't exposed, just like the Lu family or the Wang family, who both obtained the Eight Wonders through unsavory means and hid them, they later became Ten Elders without any problems.
For example, when Wudang, possessing Wind Hou Qimen, exposed the fact that they had this wonder, no one dared to go to Wudang to cause trouble; they only troubled Wang Ye, who had left Wudang.
If Zhang Huaiyi were to return to Dragon Tiger Mountain, with Old Celestial Master present, no matter how much others coveted, no one would dare to act recklessly. A fully unleashed The Celestial was not just talk.
And the current Luo Men, though perhaps still some distance from the future The Celestial Old Celestial Master, was fundamentally within the same major realm, simply with a difference in accumulation.
Therefore, the current San Yi Sect was fully qualified to take in an Eight Wonders inheritance.
In fact, if Luo Men wanted to, collecting all the Eight Wonders was not impossible, but it was meaningless.
For Luo Men, having the Eight Wonders was fine, and not having them was also not a problem. Having found his own path, the Eight Wonders were merely a slight supplement to himself.
Although the abilities of the Eight Wonders were all very mystical, his main body in the Marvel Universe could encounter various Mutant and super-powered individuals whose abilities were no worse than the Eight Wonders, and he could obtain them more conveniently through mirror replication.
Therefore, Luo Men's attitude towards the wielders of the Eight Wonders was roughly this: they could hand over the Eight Wonders to gain his protection, and if they didn't want protection, he wouldn't force them or provide protection based on that; it was that simple. The Jiashen Rebellion, in the end, was just that; truly, its intensity might not even compare to the high intensity of battles with those foreign cultivators from the island nation.
Hearing Luo Men's words, Lu Jin paused, looking at the indifferent Luo Men, feeling a touch of emotion in his heart.
He knew that what he wanted to do should not affect his family. However, if it affected San Yi Sect, his own sect, he also felt it would be somewhat bad, but he truly had no other choice.
But Luo Men's answer truly moved him. Although he didn't know why Luo Men agreed, his own factors were certainly a part of it.
"Thank you."
Therefore, Lu Jin looked at Luo Men and thanked him very sincerely.
"We are fellow disciples; there's no need to be so formal."
Luo Men smiled, finished the tea in his cup, and put down the teacup.
"Since Senior Brother Lu's matter is settled, I should go find Wu Gensheng now."
No sooner had the words fallen than Lu Jin felt a blur before his eyes, as if a white light flashed, and then Luo Men, who had been sitting opposite him, was already nowhere to be found.
The third realm of Inverse Life Triple allowed one to transform into pure Qi and fly through the air.
When Left Ruotong broke through before, Lu Jin could only see a few clues, but to say he had a deep impression, there really wasn't much.
However, the move Luo Men displayed now truly opened Lu Jin's eyes.
Not only was the speed fast, but transforming into a white light that shot straight into the clouds, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye—such a method was truly miraculous. His junior brother was indeed worthy of the title The Celestial.
"Truly amazing."
With a hint of longing in his heart, Lu Jin also imagined himself breaking through to the Inverse Life Triple realm, then returning to avenge Zhang Zhiwei's palm strike, enjoying the pleasure of easily manipulating Zhang Zhiwei. It felt very exciting, and all the blood in his body surged.
After spending some time calming his agitated emotions, Lu Jin temporarily stopped thinking about Inverse Life Triple.
The most important thing now was to find his good brother, Zheng Zibu, and then save him.
He had not been very confident before, but now that he had Luo Men's promise, Lu Jin naturally had much more confidence. Most importantly, seeing Luo Men's flying method and feeling that his junior brother's strength was unfathomable, the subsequent risks of saving someone no longer seemed like a big problem.
"I should also depart."
Lu Jin drank the tea in his cup, tidied up, and then left San Yi Sect by himself.
