Today, the sun is shining brightly, and there is a lot of traffic and people in front of the Lu Mansion, with guests from all over Nanzhou coming in droves.
All of these guests are representatives of major forces in South China.
They either sent respected elders or young and promising disciples, each with their own purposes and thoughts, to enter the Lu Mansion.
However, it is different from other guests.
The gifts they brought seemed shabby and cheap, as if they were just a formality.
Just like that, they swaggered in, not caring at all about the strange looks from others.
At this time, Lu Jingzhi, the new head of the Lu family, was wearing a bright red robe and standing at the door of the mansion to personally welcome the guests.
He had a smile on his face and behaved elegantly and gracefully, showing the demeanor of the head of the family.
Next to him stood Yan An, who was wearing a human skin mask and disguised as a female elder.
Although her face has changed, her graceful figure and bright and intelligent eyes are still difficult to completely conceal.
At this moment, a whistling sound suddenly came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a group of white-clothed disciples flying on swords rushing towards them.
They all carried long swords, with their hands behind their backs, standing tall and handsome.
If you observe carefully, you can find that the eyes of these white-robed disciples occasionally reveal a hint of arrogance, as if they are disdainful of everything around them.
Seeing this scene, Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but frowned, turned to look at Yan An beside him, and asked softly: "Madam, which faction is this person from?"
"I know nothing about the various forces in the Holy Land."
"I need you to clear up my confusion for me and help me think of a solution."
Yan An nodded slightly, and said with her red lips: "This is a disciple of Jianqi Sect."
"However, the Jianqi Sect can only be considered a third-rate force in the Holy Land."
When Lu Jing heard this, he was even more confused and asked quickly, "Madam, what is a third-rate force?"
Yan An paused and patiently explained, “The so-called third-rate forces are those sects or families that don’t even have a Sky-Stepping Realm expert.”
"This type of force is usually weaker and is at the bottom of the many forces in the Holy Land."
After hearing this, Lu Jingzhi's face showed a look of enlightenment, and he nodded gently, "Then what about the situation in the Mortal Realm?"
"In the Mortal Realm, apart from the Tianxin Empire and that sect composed entirely of women, which are classified as third-rate forces, all others are second-rate."
"Wha…what?"
"Not up to standard?" Lu Jingzhi couldn't help but widen his eyes, his face full of shock.
You know, now their Lu family doesn't even have a strong man in the Xuanhuang realm, and such strength cannot stand at all in Xuanyan City.
After a moment of silence, Lu Jingzhi suddenly thought of something and looked at Yan An cautiously and said, "My wife was at the Sky-stepping Realm before. In that case, the Demon Realm should only be considered a second-rate force, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of Yan An's mouth twitched slightly.
Suddenly she stretched out her hand and pinched the soft flesh on Lu Jingzhi's waist fiercely, and said coquettishly: "Good you! What's the matter? Do you still despise my weak strength?"
Lu Jingzhi gasped in pain, and hurriedly reached out to hold Yan An's wrist, begging for mercy: "It hurts, it hurts, my lady, calm down, I definitely didn't mean that."
"You've never disliked me, so why should I dislike you?"
Yan An snorted softly, then slowly let go of his hand.
Seeing that Yan An was no longer angry, Lu Jingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't blame me, my lady. I'm really just curious."
Yan An rolled his eyes at him, then said softly, "In fact, the Demon Realm is not a second-rate force, but a powerful first-rate force."
"After all, above me, there is the Great Demon Palace."
"Tai...Tai Yao Palace?" Lu Jingzhi was shocked, obviously he had never heard of this name.
"Well, my mother is a member of the Great Demon Palace. It is because of this that I was able to have the honor of ascending to the throne of the Empress."
"You can say she made an indelible contribution."
Among the demon race, whenever a supreme demon emperor or those respected and elderly elders choose to abdicate, they will go to the Tai Yao Palace to spend their remaining years in peace.
On ordinary days, unless something earth-shattering happens, the Tai Yao Palace usually remains silent and will never easily interfere in the affairs of the outside world.
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi nodded as if suddenly understanding something. "I see! If that's the case, then the Evil Soul Clan must be quite powerful!"
Yan An snorted lightly, "The so-called evil soul tribe is nothing more than a group of despicable villains who are good at instigating internal disputes among other tribes and then taking advantage of the opportunity to profit from it!"
Although his words were filled with contempt, they could not conceal the threat posed by the Evil Soul Clan as a powerful force.
Then, Yan An added: "I have to admit that the Evil Soul Clan is indeed one of the top-notch forces."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jingzhi's eyes widened. "Actually... there's actually a level of classification called super first-rate?"
"That's natural. The many forces in the world are like stars twinkling in the night sky."
"Based on their strength and background, they can be roughly divided into several levels: third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, and super-first-rate."
"And these forces classified as super-first-rate are all ancient giants with long-standing heritages, possessing unfathomable backgrounds and terrifying strength."
"Thinking back then, our demon clan was also among them." When he said this, a hint of pride unconsciously appeared on Yan An's face.
