As Mu Ziying and the others discussed, Lu Yin leaned over. "Xia Jiuyou?"
Mu Ziying replied, "Yeah, that unlucky guy. The Hall of Honor's first and second methods both beat him up."
Lu Yin blinked. "Isn't Xia the head of the Seven Courts?
Is he that bad? "
"Only the heavens know." Hua Xiao shrugged.
Yao Ji was not used to this and looked at his shoulder. Lu Yin had one hand on it, and Yao Ji wanted to throw Lu Yin off, but when he thought about Lu Yin's savagery, he decided against it.
"Brother Lu, we'll reach the Mountain and Sea Realm in a few days. What are your plans then?" Mu Ziying asked.
Hua Xiao and Yao Ji both looked at him.
Lu Yin did not understand. "What plans?"
Hua Xiao replied, "Brother Lu, don't you know?
There are two types of people who go to the Mountain and Sea Realm to compete for the inheritance. The first type are those who truly want to become the Five Scions of the Stars, which is Eldest Senior Sister, Brother Lu, and the top disciples of the various powers, as well as the Ten Arbiters. The second type are those who want to obtain an opportunity, which could be the inheritance of the Star Tower or the resources of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Generally speaking, those who want to obtain the Star Tower will cooperate with those who are looking for resources.
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Let's cooperate."
Hua Xiao, Mu Ziying, and Yao Ji were all speechless. How much did this guy look down on them? Did he think that they were only going for resources? But then again, that was indeed the case.
"Brother Lu, even if we cooperate, we'll still help Eldest Senior Sister. Why don't you help her out as well?" Mu Ziying smiled.
Lu Yin thought about it. "Sure, the sect has treated me well. As long as there's a request, I'll do my best."
Mu Ziying rolled his eyes. Only a fool would believe him.
Regardless of whether Lu Yin was telling the truth or not, his attitude was very comforting. At the very least, Elder Yuan Ke felt very comfortable.
"I've long since heard that this child is filial to the Sirius Sect. His attitude is sincere, and it seems that I was right. It's a pity that he's not a disciple of the Sirius Sect."
Elsewhere, outside the Mountain and Sea Realm, the void distorted. A spacecraft was traveling normally, but just as it was about to reach the Mountain and Sea Realm, it suddenly seemed to collide with something, causing a sharp screech.
Inside the spacecraft, an old man looked up, and his expression changed. "Stop."
Behind the old man was a young woman. She asked in surprise, "Master, what's wrong?"
The flying shuttle stopped, and the old man's face turned solemn. Soon, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. It was getting closer and closer, as if it was right above their heads.
The woman raised her head but didn't see anything.
After a while, the sound of horse hooves gradually faded into the distance and disappeared.
The old man heaved a sigh of relief. "The people from the burial garden are here."
The woman's eyes widened. "Burial garden?
One of the three dark magnates?
They could also compete for the Star Tower?
Does the Hall of Honor not care? "
The old man shook his head. "This matter is very complicated, and I can't explain it to you." He then looked at the woman seriously. "You just have to remember one thing: don't provoke the person riding the horse."
The woman nodded as if she understood.
The old man looked up at the sky and laughed. "But you can't provoke them even if you want to. You can't see them with your power."
The woman was confused.
Not long after, news spread throughout the Mountain and Sea Realm that the inheritors of the burial garden had appeared. Strange flames were burning on the ground, and each flame looked like a horse's hoof print. Those were marks that could only be found in the burial garden.
Many cultivators were terrified. "I remember that no one from the burial garden participated in the last competition between the Five Starry Children. I didn't expect them to come this time."
"It's not just the last competition. It's been a long time since any inheritors have appeared, but every time they do, the Five Starry Children will always have a place. There was once when a inheritor of the burial garden snatched three Mountain and Sea inheritances in a row, shocking the universe."
"After all, they're one of the three magnates, and the most mysterious. Compared to the burial garden, the Xia family, which used to be just as terrifying, is nothing. Xia Jiuyou probably won't be able to raise his head for the rest of his life."
"I heard that Xia Jiuyou was very powerful, but now it seems that he's just so-so."
"Forget about Xia Jiuyou. Think about how to deal with the inheritors of the burial garden."
"Deal with what? Can you see them?
Most people can't see them. "
"Every generation of the burial garden's inheritors are members of the legendary Deadman Regiment. The Deadman Regiment's name has been recorded in ancient times, so I advise you all to stay far away from them."
"The Deadman Regiment is truly terrifying."
"The Yellow Springs plays the suona, and the Deadman Regiment carries the palanquin. Life is thin, and the straw protects the tomb. These four sentences represent the four commanders of the Deadman Regiment, and they intimidate the entire universe. If you encounter anyone from the burial garden, it's best to stay far away."
…
Within the Mountain and Sea Realm, news of the burial garden's inheritor's appearance spread far and wide.
Shangqing was astonished. "Burial Garden's successor has appeared. An interesting opponent has arrived."
Tai Yuanjun was curious. "The burial garden?
I've seen them once. Their attacks are strange, but are they really that mysterious? "
Back when the Sixth Mainland had invaded the Cosmic Sea, Prime had teamed up with one of the burial garden's experts and Mu Ziying to fight against Zhiyi.
Prime calmly replied, "The burial garden's inheritor is an invisible opponent. Only those who can see them have the right to fight them."
Tai Yuanjun did not understand.
The burial garden was too mysterious. Even in the Neoverse, very few people had seen it, let alone the Innerverse.
Atop a patch of green grass, Yu Hua Mavis was holding a book and leisurely lying down on a stalk of grass that was several meters long. In the distance, the grass suddenly turned black, and the soft sound of hooves could be heard.
She turned around and looked into the distance. "Please don't destroy the grass. Thank you."
Across from her, the scorched grass regained its vitality.
The sound of hooves gradually faded into the distance.
Yu Hua Mavis continued to read her book, as if she was used to this.
Five days passed, and the news of the burial garden's inheritor gradually died down. It was as if this person had never appeared in the Mountain and Sea Realm. In any case, there had been no news of anyone fighting him.
However, the young master of the Aurora spacecraft had arrived. On the second day, he had defeated the Xia Family's Xia Jiuyou, which left everyone speechless.
"The Xia Family has really lost face."
"The Seven Courts have already weakened a lot. The Yu Family is gone, the You Family is divided, and the She Family and the Specter Race are almost done fighting. Now, it looks like it's the Xia Family's turn."
"How pitiful."
Outside the Mountain and Sea Realm, the Sirius Sect's spacecraft finally arrived. There were only a few days left until the contest for the Star Tower.
Qiu Shi walked out of her room.
When Lu Yin saw her, he happily greeted her. "Eldest Senior Sister."
Qiu Shi looked at him calmly. "Brother Lu is too polite. The moment you stepped out of the Sirius Sect, you were no longer a disciple of the Sirius Sect."
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "Once a disciple of the Sirius Sect, forever a disciple of the Sirius Sect."
"Shameless," Yao Ji muttered.
Elder Yuan Ke appeared and gave Lu Yin a look of praise. She then looked at Qiu Shi. "Go in, but leave your cosmic ring behind. Remember the rules."
Qiu Shi nodded. "Yes, Elder."
"Yes, Elder," Mu Ziying and the rest answered.
Lu Yin had been informed of the rules. Within the Mountain and Sea Realm's inheritance, any external items would be rejected. Even the clothes he wore had to be made from materials that could be found in the Mountain and Sea Realm. In other words, he could not use any external items.
This was considered fair, as the Hall of Honor's successor could casually take out a power vessel similar to the walnut that Master Yuan had bestowed upon him, and there would be no need to fight. What mattered was one's background, and even Lu Yin was not confident that he could compete with the Hall of Honor in terms of external items.
The spacecraft left, and Qiu Shi was the first to enter the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Lu Yin stood in outer space, and just as he was about to follow her in, he heard a voice. He turned around in surprise and saw a brothel in the distance.
He rubbed his eyes. It really was a brothel, but he had not expected it to be here.
The person who had transmitted the voice was Gu Xiaoer.
Gu Xiaoer had been leisurely in the brothel the entire time, and he had even stayed at the outermost position to observe who was entering the Mountain and Sea Realm. Although he was frivolous, he did not forget about proper business.
He had seen the Burial Garden's successor enter, and he had felt like he had seen a ghost.
He had also seen the young master of the Aurora spacecraft enter, and he had been envious of his spacecraft's extravagance.
Now, he had seen the Sirius Sect's disciples, and he struggled to tear his eyes away from Qiu Shi's imposing breasts. Then, he saw Lu Yin.
Actually, he was also very confused. Wasn't it rumored that Lu Yin had died?
Furthermore, he was a traitor of the Fifth Mainland, so how could he still fight for the Star Tower?
And he was even mingling with the Sirius Sect's people?
"Come on, Brother Lu! It's comfortable here!" Gu Xiaoer shouted.
Mu Ziying and the others saw this, and they all looked at Lu Yin strangely.
Lu Yin coughed and then said to Mu Ziying and the others, "I'll be right back. I'm an acquaintance."
Yao Ji disdainfully replied, "Lecherous wastrel." He then looked at the brothel with envious eyes before entering the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Mu Ziying and Hua Xiao exchanged glances and shook their heads. They then entered the Mountain and Sea Realm as well.
The brothel in front of them was even larger than the ones in the Western Realm. When Lu Yin arrived, the group of girls bowed, just like the brothels in the Western Realm.
Gu Xiaoer led the girls into the brothel and led Lu Yin inside.
"Aren't you dead?
Why are you here? "Gu Xiaoer asked curiously.
Lu Yin replied, "Nightking Zhenwu is just spreading rumors."
Gu Xiaoer nodded. "That guy is indeed despicable, and I can tell at a glance that he's not a good person. Actually, I wanted to help you back then, but I was captured by my father and ruthlessly trained. I only came out recently. Don't worry, once we enter the Mountain and Sea Realm and meet Nightking Zhenwu, I'll help you beat him up."
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Thank you."
The brothel was different from what Lu Yin had imagined. The girls were as beautiful as paintings, but they could only be looked at and not touched.
Gu Xiaoer was satisfied, as this was his only pursuit. Of course, his so-called true love was in the brothel, but she had not appeared here.
Aside from the Smokescreen Mountain Range, the brothel had already become his second home, and he felt especially close to it.
"Brother Lu, you don't know this, but the Mountain and Sea Realm has gone crazy. Everyone there is like a rabid dog that bites anyone they see. For example, that First Way guy is relying on his so-called mysterious technique to beat up anyone he sees. There's also that Second Way guy who wears a mask, and no one knows whether he's crying or laughing. In any case, he's crazy. The Mavis Family is everywhere, and those idiots from the Seven Courts are swaggering around. The unlucky bastards from the Xia Family have been beaten up so many times, and there are also the Ten Arbiters who are being watched wherever they go. This brother here kindly advises you not to go in right now and wait until the Star Tower opens. Otherwise, you'll definitely get into trouble." Gu Xiaoer took a sip of wine and shook his head, using the most concise words to describe the current situation in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
"Have the people from Eternal Sky Island arrived yet?" Lu Yin asked.
