There were many participants who had the same thoughts as Nan Yanfei, as no one wanted to end up in the same miserable state as the Little Arrow Saint. Even if that guy didn't die, he would be crippled.
Xia Luo swept past the other participants and charged towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin saw Xia Luo, but he did not move.
Xia Luo brushed past Lu Yin. "See you later."
Lu Yin smiled. "I hope you can make it to the Supreme Clarity Tournament."
Xia Luo smiled and charged over as well.
Ling Que was right behind Xia Luo. This guy had kept a low profile from start to finish, which was not in line with his personality. However, there was no helping it, as everyone who could participate in the Sovereign Tournament was a powerhouse. Since even the Ten Arbiters were competing on the same stage, Ling Que had no choice but to keep a low profile!
Que's Mighty Slash streaked past, and Ling Que arrived in front of Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked at him.
Ling Que's gaze tensed up, and he panicked. "Bro, bro, you don't plan on attacking me, right? I'll let you have the support group, okay?"
Support group?
Lu Yin suddenly remembered, and he felt a chill run down his spine as he looked away.
Ling Que swept past and relaxed. "Right, I overheard the clan head talking to Ling Gong. He asked if she had any thoughts of marrying you. Congratulations, haha!" Then, Que's Mighty Slash left.
Lu Yin was stunned. Marrying me?
Ling Gong?
He recalled the scene he had seen in the ruins of the Daosource Sect. That woman had looked like a knight, but she had a cute face and was stubborn and proud. She had ordered him around, but she had also helped him many times.
Lu Yin pursed his lips and shook his head. Why was he thinking about this?
When they saw Xia Luo and Ling Que pass by, the other participants' eyes lit up with hope.
"That guy can't block everyone. At most, he can block half of them. Let's charge in. Maybe he can," someone on a mountain peak whispered as he looked at the woman beside him.
The woman was afraid. "But he's so scary. Look at that archer. Not only was he injured, but he even showed his age. His attacks can't be related to time, right? I don't want to age. I'm not participating. You go."
The man gulped. "That can't be. He's just heavily injured, which makes him look older."
The woman shook her head firmly. "I'm not going. If you want to go, then go. In any case, we're just trying our luck. Do you really want to fight that kind of freak?
The Sovereign Tournament doesn't forbid death. "
The man was conflicted. Should he participate?
Should he participate?
This was a problem.
No matter what decision the man made, the woman went down the mountain. It was not just one woman. Many women from the eastern mountain had gone down the mountain.
Women cared about appearances the most, and when they saw the Little Archer Saint's aged appearance, they all assumed that it was Lu Yin's doing. Who would dare to attempt a breakthrough?
Once one broke through, one's fate would be in the hands of others. Appearance was more important than one's life.
Quite a number of people descended the mountain, frightened by Lu Yin's actions.
The passing of Xia Luo and the others also inspired some people.
Nan Yanfei swallowed hard, and his gaze hardened. Who cares? I'll just charge forward! At worst, I'll just withdraw from the competition. I'm a Realmling, and the Sixth Mainland is keeping an eye on me. If I don't charge forward now, then I'll definitely be seen as a coward, and that won't do.
He, Nan Yan Fei, could not afford to lose face like this.
With that thought in mind, he gritted his teeth and rushed toward the pass.
To the west of Mount Supreme, many of the Sixth Mainland's older powerhouses were watching this scene closely. They were most afraid that Lu Yin would target the Sixth Mainland, as that would be troublesome. Even the Little Archer Saint had been crippled by a single palm strike, and no one from the Sixth Mainland in the entire eastern mountain could defeat this person. Whether or not the Sixth Mainland's competitors could pass would depend on Nan Yanfei's results.
The Nong family's ancestor was the most nervous. Nan Yanfei was a Bloodhail Realm's Realmling, and the Nong family was a part of the Bloodhail Realm. If Nan Yanfei succeeded, then Nong Zaitian would be able to do the same, and perhaps Nan Yanfei would be able to take care of Nong Zaitian during the competition.
To the west of Chaos Flowzone, in the higher realm, many of the Sixth Mainland's people were very nervous. The Little Archer Saint's miserable fate made them both angry and afraid of Lu Yin.
When they saw Nan Yanfei rush out, everyone clenched their fists, hoping that he would not end up like the Little Archer Saint.
At the eastern mountain's pass, Lu Yin saw Nan Yanfei and raised a brow.
Nan Yanfei's expression changed, and when he saw Lu Yin raise a brow, his heart clenched, and he subconsciously slowed down his steps. However, after thinking about it, he realized that there were so many people watching, and he could not retreat. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue rushing forward. Nan Yanfei's eyes met Lu Yin's, and they were filled with friendliness. He forced a smile to appear harmless.
Lu Yin found this funny, as he did not plan on attacking Nan Yanfei. The Outerverse had been gifted to the Sixth Mainland, and there were many things that he would have to reconsider.
Nan Yanfei was not the Little Archer Saint, and Lu Yin had a deep grudge with the Little Archer Saint. As for Nan Yanfei, Lu Yin did not care. He would just leave this guy to the Prime Clarity Sect!
As he thought about this, Lu Yin shifted his gaze in another direction.
Nan Yanfei was delighted, as Lu Yin's attitude was obvious. This guy was not going to attack.
Nan Yanfei hurriedly sped up and rushed past Lu Yin. "Thank you."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, as it was still too early to say thanks. He was thinking about the future.
When they saw that Nan Yanfei had succeeded, the Sixth Mainland became excited. It was great that Lu Yin was not going to attack.
Many people in the Fifth Mainland's Innerverse could not understand why Lu Yin was not attacking.
However, they could not criticize him, as it was entirely up to Lu Yin to act. They could not expect Lu Yin to help them sweep away the Sixth Mainland.
People in different positions naturally had different considerations.
If Lu Yin was just an ordinary wandering cultivator, then he could abhor evil and target the Sixth Mainland without hesitation. However, he was not. He was the Great Eastern Alliance's Alliance Leader, and his future goals were even grander. The Hall of Honor had allowed the Sixth Mainland to occupy the Outerverse, not because they did not care about the Outerverse, but because they had their own concerns. Lu Yin also had his own concerns.
However, his concerns might be different from the Hall of Honor's. His original goal had been the Innerverse, but now, he felt that he should set a greater goal for his life.
No matter what, the Sixth Mainland had invaded his territory, and he would not be a gentleman if he did not take revenge. Lu Yin had never admitted that he was a gentleman.
Nan Yanfei's thanks came too early.
Nan Yanfei had passed, and Xia Luo and Ling Que had all passed as well. This gave many people hope. Could it be that Lu Yin was not a ruthless person?
Was he only so ruthless because he had a grudge against the Little Archer Saint?
As they thought about this, many people who had originally left the mountain climbed back up. They felt that they could still take a gamble and save their future in the competition.
In climbing Mount Supreme, aside from the mountain's original obstacles and the strange phenomena that appeared from time to time, the biggest obstacle was actually the other competitors.
More than a million people were climbing at the same time, and the distance between them was gradually shrinking. This was because the mountain pass was only so big.
As the distance shrank, the chances of them fighting each other increased.
Yu Hua, Mavis, and the others belonged to the first echelon, as they relied on their own strength. Liu Tianmu, Invisible Light, Bai Ling, Xin Nu, and the others were all the same. As long as there were no experts of the same level holding them back, they could quickly reach the mountain pass.
Once the first echelon finished, it would be the remaining people's turn.
Lu Yin had allowed Nan Yanfei to pass, which gave many people hope. Some people who had originally planned on withdrawing returned, wanting to take a gamble. However, even if they wanted to take a gamble, they would do so after the first echelon had finished. Otherwise, it would be easy for them to get caught up in the fighting.
This was especially true for Liu Tianmu and Xin Nu. The two women's battle caused sword qi to fly everywhere, and the wind from their palms to wreak havoc. It had already caused many people to withdraw from the competition, and the surrounding people stayed far away from them.
There was also the battle between Bai Ling and Invisible Light. Both of their attacks covered a large area, and each of their attacks could affect tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. Countless people withdrew from the competition.
Most people were waiting for these people to pass and leave.
At the mountain pass, Lu Yin's gaze shifted, and he looked ahead. Two figures, one black and one white, quickly flitted past and charged towards him.
He smiled; the two girls had been hiding all this time, and they had finally shown themselves.
Little Black and Xiao Bai were very astute. When Bai Ling and Invisible Light had clashed at the start of the competition, they had hidden themselves. There were simply too many experts in the competition, and they were afraid of being targeted.
Now that the battle had slowed down, they immediately charged towards Lu Yin and stopped in front of him.
Lu Yin looked at them in amusement. "Why are you suddenly so obedient? Not messing around anymore?"
Xiao Bai panted heavily and rolled her eyes at him. "It's all because of Senior Shen Wei. He said so many scary things, and it's so annoying."
Little Black looked at Lu Yin and said, "If we get stopped at the mountain pass, you have to help us."
"How can I help?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Xiao Bai replied, "Idiot, if you can attack those below, can't you attack those above?
Attack the mountain pass. "
Little Black laughed strangely. "You're not afraid, are you?"
Lu Yin straightened his back. "Afraid? I'm just joking. Go ahead, I'm watching."
Little Black and Xiao Bai looked at each other slyly. "Let's go."
"Let's go."
Lu Yin laughed as he watched the two girls leave. How could the Prime Clear target them? The five mountain passes only needed to stop half of the competitors. These two were not weak when they worked together, and they were enough to cause trouble for someone like Ku Lei. If they were eliminated by the Prime Clear, then it would prove that the Prime Clear was deliberately targeting Eternal Sky Island, which would lead to conflict.
There was no need to worry about the Prime Clear's mountain pass.
As he thought about it, he scanned the eastern mountain peak and finally fixed his gaze on Tong Zhan.
When he saw Tong Zhan participate in the competition, Lu Yin was shocked. This person had been crippled by him, but he had still been able to recover. It was a pity that his strength had not improved at all.
When Lu Yin looked at Tong Zhan, Tong Zhan paused and raised his head to stare at Lu Yin with a bone-deep killing intent. He believed that no one in the entire Sixth Mainland could surpass his hatred for Lu Yin. Even if he died, he would fight this person one more time.
He had seen the Little Arrow Saint's miserable state, and he knew that he was no match for this person. However, he was already a cripple with no hope of improving himself. The Tong family had already given up on him, so he only wanted to fight this person fair and square.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze and ignored Tong Zhan. He looked at the rune lines of all the competitors on the eastern mountain, and the one with the most numbers was Invisible Light. However, Invisible Light did not rush through the mountain pass and instead continued to stare at Bai Ling. He was restraining Bai Ling. Otherwise, with Bai Ling's innate battle technique, she might cause everyone on the eastern mountain to withdraw from the competition.
Bai Ling did not continue to attack and instead charged towards the mountain pass. She stared at Lu Yin with a serene gaze. Would this person stop her?
Lu Yin did not stop her and allowed her to pass. Many of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators relaxed.
