In the crowd, Zuocheng Daynight looked around from time to time. From the very beginning, he had a feeling that he was being watched, but it was a vague feeling that made him uncertain.
Logically speaking, he was an Enlighter with a power level of 360,000, so there shouldn't be anyone who could watch him in such a remote place without him noticing. So, where was this feeling coming from?
He had come out this time to look for Liu Shaoge. Before the Sovereign Tournament had begun, the Daynight clan had sent people to the Outerverse to look for Liu Shaoge, but they had not been able to find him. Zuocheng Daynight had no choice but to go out personally. The inheritance stone was too important to the Daynight clan, and they could not afford to lose it.
The Outerverse was Lu Yin's territory, and even with a power level of 300,000, he did not dare to reveal his identity. He had used his star energy to sweep through the academy in an attempt to find Liu Shaoge, but he had not been able to find him.
Earth was Liu Shaoge's home, and he firmly believed that Liu Shaoge would return sooner or later.
Zuocheng Daynight decided to stay on Earth and wait for Liu Shaoge.
He could not use his star energy to cover the entire planet, so he could only go to a crowded area and wait for Lu Yin to show up. It was a little tiring, but it was safer and would not be discovered.
Zuocheng Daynight's eyes trembled as he realized that someone was watching him. He looked around and wondered who it was.
At this moment, he was certain that an expert had appeared.
"Hey, make way, make way!" The young man in the hat squeezed his way to Zuocheng Daynight's side with great difficulty.
Zuocheng Daynight's eyes narrowed, and a murderous glint flashed through his eyes.
The young man placed a hand on Zuocheng Daynight's shoulder, and Zuocheng Daynight clenched his fist. "Brother, make way." The young man pushed Zuocheng Daynight, but he did not move. He looked at Zuocheng Daynight in shock. "Old man, you're still chasing after celebrities at your age?
You're really hardworking. "
Zuocheng Daynight took a step back.
The young man smiled brightly. "Thank you." He held his straw in his mouth and continued to squeeze forward.
Zuocheng Daynight frowned as he watched the young man's figure disappear. He looked around again, but he did not see who was watching him.
He had been guarding the ancestral land's stone tablet for too long, and he had forgotten to be vigilant. He left the stadium without hesitation, and even left Earth. He had to wait for that feeling to disappear before returning, or else he would not be at ease.
Suddenly, that feeling intensified tenfold. He turned around and saw a young man; it was Lu Yin.
Zuocheng Daynight's pupils shrank when he saw Lu Yin's appearance, but it only lasted for an instant before he quickly regained his composure. He had disguised himself, so it was impossible to tell that he was from the Daynight clan. Furthermore, he had not met Lu Yin during the battle at Nightking Planet, so Lu Yin should not have recognized him.
"Where are you from?" Lu Yin asked as he stared at Zuocheng Daynight.
Zuocheng Daynight tried his best to look as gentle as possible as he smiled. "This old man is wandering the universe, and I don't have a fixed place to stay."
"Is that so? Why have you come to Earth?" Lu Yin asked.
Zuocheng Daynight smiled. "I was just passing by and heard that Hero Luo was performing a dance, so I decided to take a look."
"Then why are you following the students?"
Zuocheng Daynight's eyes flashed. "I want to find an outstanding child to inherit my legacy."
Lu Yin grunted, "This junior believes that his aptitude is not bad. Why don't you pass on your mantle to this junior?
I'm willing to take care of you when you're old. "
Zuocheng Daynight laughed. "Little brother, you must be joking. Even this old man can't see through your strength. Don't make fun of me."
Lu Yin's face darkened. "I don't want anyone to take Earth.
You're here on Earth for fun, and your origins are unknown, and you're even following the students. How can I let you leave without worry? "
Zuocheng Daynight frowned. "Little brother, aren't you being too overbearing? I'm just passing by Earth, and I haven't harmed anyone. I'm only following the students because I want to find a disciple. I don't have any ill intentions. Are you going to attack me just because of this?
Is Earth off-limits to strangers? "
Lu Yin stared at Zuocheng Daynight. "Explain your origins, and you can enter. You didn't enter through normal means, did you?"
Zuocheng Daynight's eyes flashed as he met Lu Yin's gaze. After a while, he nodded. "It seems like you don't plan on letting me leave peacefully. Since that's the case, you can investigate."
Lu Yin's gaze relaxed, and he smiled. "Excuse me, sir. Please."
Zuocheng Daynight returned to Earth under Lu Yin's supervision.
Lu Yin had only wanted to investigate Zuocheng Daynight's origins, but he didn't know what the old man's goal was.
Perhaps it was just as the old man had said, and Zuocheng Daynight wanted to find a disciple. There were too many independent cultivators in the universe, but of course, it was easy for an Enlighter to find a disciple, which was what Lu Yin was most suspicious of.
However, as long as Zuocheng Daynight wasn't hostile towards Earth, Lu Yin wouldn't do anything to him.
Zuocheng Daynight landed on Earth in Jinling Stadium, where Goddess Luo's dance was still ongoing. Zuocheng Daynight slowly descended, and suddenly, his star energy erupted as he tore through the void and charged towards the stadium.
Lu Yin's eyes went wide. He was courting death! He had dared to let the old man return to Earth because the old man's power level was at most 300,000, and he also had his Emptiness Palm and Daynight's Tribute, so he wasn't afraid of the old man.
Zuocheng Daynight stepped into the stadium and appeared in front of Goddess Luo. Even the audience couldn't react in time. Lu Yin's spiritual force descended, and it was Daynight's Tribute.
Zuocheng Daynight had seen Lu Yin's performance in the Sovereign Tournament, and he was extremely wary of Lu Yin. When Lu Yin's spiritual force descended, Zuocheng Daynight's spiritual force also erupted. It was Nightfall.
Lu Yin was shocked. Someone from the Daynight clan?
Furthermore, the rune lines had exceeded 300,000. This wasn't good.
Zuocheng Daynight's spiritual force battle technique was strong enough to resist Daynight's Tribute, but he would definitely be dragged into the illusion. However, with his power level and the fact that he had been guarding the ancestral land's stone stele, it was as if he had been petrified while cultivating his spiritual force. He wasn't much weaker than Yao Xuan's spiritual force.
The moment Zuocheng Daynight was dragged into the illusion, he broke out of it in a single breath. Although a single breath had passed in the outside world, a considerable amount of time had passed within the illusion. Zuocheng Daynight had been subjected to the Nightking Heaven-Splitting Technique multiple times, and his brain had been concussed while blood flowed out of his orifices. Fortunately, he had broken out of the illusion. He hadn't expected Lu Yin's spiritual force attack to be so terrifying. That must be the Nightking Heaven-Splitting Technique! He recalled a legend that no one in the Daynight clan had been able to cultivate this technique after the Dayking and the First Nightking had died.
It was no wonder why Lu Yin's spiritual force was able to resist Yao Xuan's attacks. Zuocheng Daynight, who specialized in spiritual force, had almost been unable to withstand Lu Yin's attacks. In the entire Daynight clan, no one below the level of an Emissary could resist Lu Yin's spiritual force.
A single breath was enough for Zuocheng Daynight to capture Luoshen. Similarly, a single breath was enough for Lu Yin as well. Lu Yin's palm moved, and an Emptiness Palm traversed the void and viciously slammed into Zuocheng Daynight's back.
Zuocheng Daynight's physical body could not withstand the might of the Emptiness Palm, even if it was not imbued with nine-lined battle force. He spat out a mouthful of blood as invisible fragments fell from his back and clothes. They were power vessels that he had used to withstand Lu Yin's Emptiness Palm. He then raised his hand and grabbed at Luoshen, his fingers only a few centimeters away from her.
Lu Yin was confident in his own strength, and he believed that he could control the situation.
Zuocheng Daynight was cunning, and he had guarded against Lu Yin's various methods. In the end, Zuocheng Daynight had still managed to win a chance for survival. As long as he could capture Luoshen, he could force Lu Yin to release him and allow him to return to the Daynight Flowzone.
He had not expected a youth like Lu Yin to be so terrifying. Even though he had guarded against Lu Yin to the extreme, he had still been heavily injured. His spiritual force had been scattered, and his brain had roared as blood flowed out of his orifices. His body had also been torn apart by the Emptiness Palm. Fortunately, he had succeeded. This woman was his only chance at survival.
Zuocheng Daynight saw Luoshen's terrified gaze as she drew closer and closer.
Behind them, the Star Chessboard appeared beneath Lu Yin's feet. Just as he was about to move Luoshen, a youth wearing a hat walked out from beside her with a straw in his mouth. The youth did not seem to move at all, but Zuocheng Daynight touched him. Then, there was a thunderous explosion that connected the heavens and the earth, tearing apart space itself.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank. He had seen many lightning-type battle techniques or attacks from experts with innate lightning-type abilities, but this was the most terrifying attack he had ever seen. The rune lines had exceeded 400,000, and even Lu Yin felt a sense of danger.
The youth had a smile on his face, and he had a handsome appearance. His hat was tilted to one side, and he was surrounded by lightning.
Zuocheng Daynight had clearly been very close to Luoshen, but the moment this youth appeared, it was as if he had drawn So Close, Yet Worlds Apart.
When the lightning disappeared, Zuocheng Daynight's body was charred black, and he collapsed to the ground. He had been electrocuted into a lump of charcoal.
The youth flicked the straw in his mouth and turned to face Luoshen. He flashed a smile that he thought was very charming. "I'm Jiang Chen. Nice to meet you, beautiful."
Luoshen's body disappeared as Lu Yin had used the 'Plan' to teleport her to his side.
She was pleasantly surprised when she saw Lu Yin. "Your Highness."
Lu Yin nodded and looked at the youth called Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen looked back at Lu Yin with a smile on his face. His eyes were bright, but there was also a domineering aura about him. His temperament was calm, and he made people feel at ease just by standing there. He gave Lu Yin the same feeling as when he had first met Wu Taibai. He was casual, free, and unrestrained, but there was an indescribable feeling about him.
Lu Yin didn't know how to describe that feeling.
In any case, he didn't dislike this person.
"I've seen you before. The competition was very exciting." Jiang Chen smiled happily as he looked Lu Yin in the eye.
Lu Yin looked deeply at Jiang Chen. "Thank you. May I ask where you're from?"
"Earth," Jiang Chen said directly, but then he felt that something was off. "Not far from Earth."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. This person's words didn't match his heart. He had clearly said that he was from Earth, but there was no way Earth could have produced such an expert.
Was this Jiang Chen from the Earth Hidden Realm?
That was very likely.
Jiang Chen jumped off the stage, and the surrounding lights shone on Zuocheng Daynight's charred body.
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's go somewhere else," Lu Yin said.
Jiang Chen didn't mind. He looked at Luoshen expectantly. "Together?"
Luoshen gently replied, "I want to finish the dance."
Jiang Chen was disappointed.
Lu Yin said, "She'll come after the dance. Let's find a place to talk."
Jiang Chen waved a hand. "It doesn't matter."
