The elder from the Lianshan branch was excited as he stared at the ancestral hall. "This is the main ancestral hall. I never thought that I would be able to come here one day. I can die without regrets."
Shou Sheng looked around with a burning gaze. This was the White Dragon Tribe's ancestral hall, and every powerhouse from the White Dragon Tribe would walk through it. It didn't look too grand, but Enlighters, Envoys, Half-Ancestors, and even legendary Progenitors had all left their marks here. This place had recorded time and the passage of time.
Lu Yin had never thought that he would one day be able to see this legendary place up close.
Shou Sheng and the rest didn't even dare to breathe loudly. How many people in the entire Astral Tree Domain could reach this place?
All around them, the gazes of the powerhouses were enough to make them tremble in fear, even if Lu Yin had a power level of over 400,000. This was because there was more than one Envoys here.
Lu Yin looked around and saw that everyone was staring at him, but he didn't care. Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came. At this moment, his gaze was drawn to a woman who was standing in front of him. She was just as beautiful as Wendy Yushan and the others.
Her appearance was refined, and her long blue hair fell to her waist. She had a light aura, and her eyes were like limpid autumn waters with amber pupils. She was so beautiful that she could see the reflections of all things. Her gaze was gentle, but there was also a trace of sharpness to it. When she looked at Lu Yin, it felt like she was scrutinizing him, but for some reason, Lu Yin couldn't find it repulsive.
This woman's attire was also different from the people around her.
Shou Sheng, the White Dragon elders, and even the people around them were dressed in an ancient style. Only this woman was dressed casually, which made her stand out from the crowd. Coupled with her long blue hair, if not for her strength, he would have thought that she was a student from some university.
She wore long boots that were custom-made, and every stripe was the same as the engravings in the ancestral hall.
When Lu Yin met her eyes, it was as if a gust of wind had blown past him, bringing with it a delicate fragrance that was intoxicating.
Lu Yin was observing her, and she was doing the same to him.
Lu Yin's appearance could not be considered outstanding, and he could only be considered ordinary. This was something that the woman had long since known. As for his power level, she was rather surprised, as he was actually a Hunter. Ignoring his true power level, his current realm was already pretty good. Even though he could not compare to the best of their group, he could still be considered a respectable figure.
She did not expect the branch to produce such a talent, but it made sense. After all, they were from the White Dragon Clan. Even if it was a branch, it was normal for a talented elite to occasionally appear.
"Is he from the Lianshan branch of the White Dragon Clan?" A discordant voice sounded.
Everyone looked in the same direction, where an old man in green robes was staring at Lu Yin. His gaze was unfriendly, and it could even be said to be filled with murderous intent.
Lu Yin frowned, but he didn't say anything.
Shou Sheng said, "That's right, he …" But before he could finish speaking, the green-robed old man's eyes widened. "Do you have the right to interrupt when I'm speaking?"
As his voice fell, a finger pressed down from the void and pointed at Shou Sheng.
Shou Sheng had not expected the old man to attack without any warning. He had no ability to resist at all, and his heart sank into despair.
When he saw the finger descend, Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and his mind buzzed. This was the Dream Finger! There was no mistaking it; it was the Dream Finger! Although there were some differences, the feeling that it gave him was definitely correct.
The White Dragon elder looked up, but he did not seem to move, and the finger's power dissipated. "Elder Green Apricot, whether or not he is from the White Dragon Clan will be determined by the White Dragon Clan. It has nothing to do with your Frigid Immortal Sect."
Elder Green Apricot snorted. "He's just an ant. So what if he dies? Since when has Brother Long Kui been so kind?"
The elder spoke up. "After all, he has performed meritorious service by escorting a member of the White Dragon Clan."
"Hmph."
From Elder Green Apricot's attack to the White Dragon Clan's elder's intervention, the woman's expression did not change at all. She merely stared at Lu Yin.
When she saw that Lu Yin had remained motionless in the face of that finger, her pupils shrank, and her brows furrowed. He was too cowardly. He was clearly a Hunter, but he did not even dare to move. That attack had not been aimed at him, and he did not have the willpower of a cultivator. His future achievements would probably be limited.
She was somewhat sorrowful, as she had never thought that the princess of the White Dragon Clan would have to give herself to such a person.
The elder glanced at Lu Yin, clearly dissatisfied. This kid was too cowardly.
Lu Yin did not have the time to care about what they thought. He looked at Elder Green Apricot and thought about that finger. He thought about those three words: Frigid Immortal Sect.
This elder was from the Frigid Immortal Sect. Did the Dream Finger originate from that sect?
Frigid Immortal Sect … Frigid Immortal Sect … Lu Yin had heard of it before. The first time he had gone to the Daynight Flowzone to rescue a mother and daughter, he had heard them mention the Frigid Immortal Sect. The Daynight Flowzone had also been called the Frigid Immortal Flowzone in ancient times. Was that the Frigid Immortal Sect?
It should be, or else it would not be so coincidental. The words "Frigid Immortal" were not commonly used.
If that was the case, then this place was not the Fifth Mainland, as the Frigid Immortal Sect had long since disappeared. So where was this place?
What did it have to do with his background? What did the Frigid Immortal Sect have to do with him?
Lu Yin did not want to leave. He wanted to investigate everything, and there was nothing more convenient than starting with the White Dragon Tribe.
The Frigid Immortal Sect also had to take care of the White Dragon Tribe. Lu Yin's starting point was very high.
Now, he just had to find a way to hide it from the White Dragon Tribe and replace Long Seven from the Lianshan Branch. He was even more eager to join the White Dragon Tribe than Shou Sheng and the others.
"Elder Long Kui, is he Long Seven?" the woman asked. Her voice was pleasant and soothing, like a clear stream flowing past.
Elder Long Kui respectfully replied, "Yes, he is Long Seven. He has the bloodline of the White Dragon Tribe."
"No matter what, we still need to verify it."
Long Kui replied, "Alright, I'll verify it."
She shook her head. "In the future, he will be my husband, so I'll verify it myself."
Lu Yin was still thinking about the Dream Finger when he suddenly heard some shocking news. Hu- hu- husband?
What the hell?
He subconsciously looked at Shou Sheng.
Shou Sheng's eyelids twitched, but he pretended to be calm. He had not told Lu Yin that he was going to marry into the White Dragon Tribe, as no one could resist the temptation of becoming the son-in-law of the main bloodline of the White Dragon Tribe.
He thought that he had done it flawlessly, and while Lu Yin had been unconscious, he had worked with the elder to inject Long Seven's blood into Lu Yin's body. The White Dragon Tribe's bloodline was enough to suppress a normal person's blood, and even though it was only effective for a short period of time, it was enough to deal with this verification. As for whether or not he would be exposed later on, it would have nothing to do with him.
The elder trembled, and his fear grew. At this point, he could only pray that he would pass the verification.
The Frigid Immortal Sect's Elder Blue Apricot did not stop him, as there was no need for him to do so. Even though the Frigid Immortal Sect could suppress the White Dragon Tribe, they could not be too ruthless. They had already wiped out many of the young masters from the White Dragon Tribe's branches, and the White Dragon Tribe had been lucky enough to send one over. Everything had been decided the moment they had stepped into White Mountain.
To him, the verification seemed like the White Dragon Tribe was mocking the Frigid Immortal Sect.
Elder Blue Apricot did not care anymore, as he was thinking about how to explain things when he returned. They had paid such a high price and risked offending the White Dragon Tribe to kill all the young masters from the various branches, but they had still failed.
No one had thought that Lu Yin was a fake, as no one had expected Shou Sheng to be so daring as to ask someone to impersonate him. They had also not expected that someone who looked like Long Seven would actually appear. Disguises could not fool these experts, and Lu Yin really did look like Long Seven. It could only be said that this was the will of heaven.
The woman walked in front of Lu Yin, and a delicate fragrance wafted over. Lu Yin subconsciously took a deep breath; it smelled good.
Lu Yin's actions caused the woman to frown, and she glared at him sharply. He smiled apologetically.
The woman looked at Lu Yin for a while, and her heart grew more and more sorrowful. Since ancient times, the women of the White Dragon Tribe had never married outside of the tribe. They had always married the elites of the tribe, and she was naturally the same. However, there were very few men in this generation of the White Dragon Tribe. They were either married, too young, or forced by the Frigid Immortal Sect to not marry her.
The Frigid Immortal Sect wanted to marry her not because of love, but because they coveted the White Dragon Tribe's future. Everyone knew this, and she could not let the Frigid Immortal Sect succeed.
The White Dragon Tribe did not want to fall out with the Frigid Immortal Sect, so she could only choose one of the branch members to marry. These people did not dare to disobey the orders of the main family, and the Frigid Immortal Sect's threats were ineffective. There were many branches in the White Dragon Tribe, and she could have chosen one. Who would have thought that the Frigid Immortal Sect would be so ruthless as to directly send people to kill one of the branches? They no longer cared about the White Dragon Tribe's falling out with them.
This made the White Dragon Tribe even more fearful. Ever since that woman had taken over, the Frigid Immortal Sect had gradually risen above the Upper Realm and could not be stopped. Even the White Dragon Tribe, which was also one of the Four Cardinal Scales, did not want to start a war with the Frigid Immortal Sect. Even if one of the branches was killed, they could only feign ignorance.
Fortunately, one of the branch's young masters had survived and had been sent to her.
If she did not want to marry someone from the Frigid Immortal Sect, she could only marry this person. She had no other choice.
Everyone waited for the woman to verify Lu Yin's identity.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and he was prepared to put on his universal armor and escape at any moment.
"Drip your blood." The woman took out something that looked like an inkstone and had Lu Yin drip his blood onto it.
Lu Yin casually cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the inkstone, but there was no reaction. The woman's expression changed. Behind them, Elder Green Apricot was still thinking about how to explain things to the Frigid Immortal Sect, so she did not pay too much attention to Lu Yin.
The woman's eyes flickered, and she stared at Lu Yin with murderous intent. Lu Yin's heart sank. Not good, he had failed. He clenched his fists and prepared to put on his universal armor at any moment.
At that moment, the woman made an imperceptible cut on her finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the inkstone. The inkstone glowed, and then a white light shot into the sky and transformed into a python that roamed the void before finally dissipating.
Elder Green Apricot saw this and was not surprised, but her gaze grew even colder.
The woman coldly said, "There's no problem with your identity." She then glanced at Lu Yin with an intense warning in her eyes.
Lu Yin fell silent and did not say anything. His identity was fake, but the woman had verified it and helped him hide it. Clearly, this was to deal with that elder from the Frigid Immortal Sect. It seemed that his identity was very useful to the White Dragon Tribe, to the point that even if they found out that he was fake, they would still have to admit that he was real.
This was interesting.
