Lu Sheng's expression shifted slightly, and silently he put away the Qingtian. At the same time, he hid his vitality, and as the Life and Death Technique operated, a wisp of Death Qi slowly emanated from his body.
In an instant, he created the appearance of being seriously injured.
Sure enough, when the "seriously injured" Lu Sheng approached the Heaven-Reaching Tree, the students guarding the area turned their gazes towards him.
Although a hint of surprise was in their eyes, when they sensed Lu Sheng's declining aura, they retracted their gazes and warily watched the other powerful students.
Those outside watching Lu Sheng's actions suddenly found their expressions turning strange.
"This guy... he's so sly."
"He's clearly unscathed, yet he pretends to be seriously injured. And he even fooled the other students, this..."
The crowd was abuzz with voices, and some even started verbally condemning Lu Sheng.
"That damned guy!"
