Lu Yin didn't try to hide it. "I once cultivated a technique to control puppets, so I can control this corpse." He then turned to Wu Taibai and asked, "So you're saying that if we destroy the corpse, the Meditative Ruins will disappear?"
Wu Taibai sighed. "In theory, yes, but don't forget that this place is a trap. Everyone followed the map here, and the map came from Long Xian. That Long Xian should be a Redback, so this must be a trap set by those monsters. If it's so easy to destroy, how can it still be a trap?"
"The corpse was destroyed in the beginning because it was part of the trap. The activation condition of this trap should be the visualization power of the four young ancestors or a certain level of strength."
Everyone listened in silence.
"I suspect that if we destroy the corpse now, not only will we not be able to save them, but we might even kill them," Wu Taibai said seriously. "That's what those monsters like to do. They want us to kill our own young ancestors. Of course, this is just a guess."
Everyone had to admit that Wu Taibai's guess was probably true.
It would not be easy for the monsters, the mortal enemies of humanity, to set up a trap in the Ruler Realm. If the trap could be destroyed so easily, then it would have been pointless.
If they could set up a trap, then they had full confidence in trapping the four young ancestors. Even a Progenitor might not be able to save them.
The young ancestors were the hopes of this region, which was why they were called young ancestors. These monsters would not feel that it was a waste to deal with future Progenitors. Furthermore, these traps might not have been set up on purpose, and they might not have been set up to deal with the young ancestors from the very beginning.
Humanity had been at a disadvantage against these monsters for countless years, and even the Ruler Realm had been invaded many times. No one knew exactly how many traps had been left behind. Or perhaps these monsters were hoping that someone would come and save them?
Perhaps the trap had not been fully activated?
No one could say for sure.
"Should we leave?" Ming Guang asked.
Everyone looked at Lu Yin. He was the one who had saved everyone, and he was the strongest, so his words carried the most weight.
Lu Yin looked at Long Xi in the Meditative Ruins. He could not let go of this woman.
Even if he exposed his identity as a stowaway, Long Xi still reminded him at the critical moment. This was beyond ordinary.
From the moment Long Xi reminded him, this woman had taken root in his heart. Lu Yin was unwilling to leave her here, but if he took her away, who could guarantee that she would not reveal that they were stowaways?
It was one thing to have feelings, but could feelings be bigger than the situation? As the ruler of this starry sky, did Long Xi really not care about the stowaways in the abandoned land?
Even if they didn't care that Lu Yin was a stowaway, what about the others?
It was impossible for her to allow these people to exist.
Lu Yin wasn't confident that Long Xi wouldn't expose him, and that would be playing with everyone's lives.
Yao Xuan was on guard. "Lu Yin, you can't be thinking of saving that woman, right? We can't die with you."
Invisible Light replied, "Our standpoints are different. Perhaps in the future, you will have the chance to save her."
Lu Yin frowned and looked at Long Xi silently.
Shang Qing glanced at him, "If you want to save him, then do it. Don't you have a Great World?
Just put her in the big world. "
Lu Yin was stunned and at a loss. "A great world?
Since when did I do that? "
"Mount Supreme," he said indifferently.
"That's a great world?" Lu Yin was shocked.
The others were shocked as well. They were very familiar with Mount Supreme. Was that a great world?
Shang Qing explained, "Mount Supreme is the Hall of Honor's most valuable treasure, and it's a world of its own. It can be big or small, and it can be used for both offense and defense. Back then, the Hall of Honor wanted to give it to me directly, but they didn't have a proper reason to do so. Thus, they made it the highest reward for the Sovereign Tournament, but it was taken by you."
Lu Yin was confused. "So you're saying that I stole something from you?"
Shang Qing looked at him. "Not really. You obtained it with your own abilities. However, there was a disagreement within the Hall of Honor, and Elder Chan made the decision to give you Mount Supreme. It's a great world that can store living things in your cosmic ring." With that, he stopped talking. Three streams of energy coiled around his body, and he still looked like a deity. Anyone who saw him would want to beat him up.
Lu Yin impatiently took out Mount Supreme and placed it on the ground, making it look like a fake mountain.
Everyone looked at it, and they could all find the location where they had fought.
Lu Yin's statue was the biggest eyesore to them.
Lu Yin sat down cross-legged, "I'm going to control the corpse. Everyone, please make way."
Everyone looked at him strangely and made way.
Lu Yin's consciousness appeared within the corpse's body, and it stood up.
Everyone was astonished; it actually worked?
It wasn't that they hadn't come into contact with puppeteering techniques before, but they had never thought that it would come in handy at this moment.
But even if it was a puppet technique, how was Lu Yin immune to the Meditative Ruins?
They weren't stupid, and they knew that Lu Yin had been holding back. But who hadn't?
Ming Guang hadn't revealed his innate gift during the Sovereign Tournament, so they hadn't questioned him.
The corpse came in front of Lu Yin and carried him back to the Meditative Ruins. Lu Yin couldn't be more than five meters away from the corpse.
The corpse carried Long Xi out and placed him at the border before silently returning to the corner and merging its consciousness with Lu Yin's body once more.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and pulled Long Xi out.
Long Xi opened his eyes and looked around vigilantly. He saw the people in the Meditative Ruins and then fixed his gaze on Lu Yin with a complicated expression, "You saved me?"
Lu Yin nodded.
The others silently distanced themselves from him.
Long Xi stared at Lu Yin and a spear appeared in his hand. He raised it high, "We're enemies."
"Then why did you remind me?" Lu Yin asked.
Long Xi tightened her grip on the spear, "Reminding you is the last of our friendship. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other."
Lu Yin sighed helplessly, "Do you think they'll let you go?"
He then looked at Ming Guang and the others.
Long Xi's gaze turned cold, "Try blocking me!" He then used White Dragon Roaming Steps and disappeared. Lu Yin's body also disappeared, blocking Long Xi's path. She instinctively used the White Dragon Heaven-Inspecting Mirror.
She was slightly stronger than Wang Yi, who had participated in the Sovereign Tournament. After all, she had broken through the lower threshold, but it was useless against Lu Yin.
This was the first time the two had fought seriously, and Long Xi finally understood how terrifying Lu Yin was.
The White Dragon Heaven-Inspecting Mirror had trapped Lu Yin many times before, but it couldn't do so this time. Lu Yin used the Great Shift Array to appear behind Long Xi and grabbed her, golden battle force blossoming in his palm.
Long Xi turned around, draconic patterns covering her body as she transformed into a white dragon. She smashed out with her spear without mercy.
Lu Yin raised his hand and grabbed the spear's handle, causing a strong wind to spread from their feet to the surroundings.
Long Xi couldn't even move. "You …" Lu Yin shook his head, "Your strength is far weaker than mine." He then used Overlaying Stacks, causing 250 Stacks to spread along the spear's handle. Long Xi couldn't even hold onto the spear properly, so she let go and punched out. Lu Yin tilted his head, and the spear's handle flew out from his palm, smashing into Long Xi's shoulder. Long Xi's body swayed, and she couldn't punch out.
Lu Yin's domain covered a radius of a few meters, making Long Xi feel like she was in a swamp. Lu Yin took this opportunity to press his hand on her shoulder and brought her into Mount Supreme.
The scene in front of Long Xi changed, and she saw the majestic Mount Supreme and Lu Yin's statue above her head.
She retreated a few dozen meters to face Lu Yin. "Is this your true strength?
Have you been laughing at me all this time? "
Lu Yin blinked, "No, I'm quite afraid of you."
Long Xi gritted her teeth, "Where are we?"
"A large world. Don't even think about running away now that you're here, unless you can break out of it," Lu Yin said, throwing out star essence like crazy.
Mount Supreme relied on star energy to create a protective barrier, and the more star energy there was, the stronger the barrier. In theory, it could reach a million stars.
Lu Yin didn't know how much star energy it would take to reach a million stars, but just to be safe, he threw in a hundred million star essence.
Mount Supreme began to change, filling the interior with star energy while a transparent barrier appeared outside.
Long Xi leaped up and punched the transparent light screen.
Lu Yin watched.
Long Xi punched the barrier, causing it to shatter. Long Xi rushed out of Mount Supreme and returned to the surface.
Lu Yin's jaw dropped, and he hurriedly rushed out while cursing inwardly. Mount Supreme had seemed powerful, but it was just for show. He had thought that it would have an Envoy-level defense, but he hadn't expected it to be so weak. It needed money.
Lu Yin left Mount Supreme, and Long Xi glanced at him coldly. She raised a hand, and her star energy transformed into a rope that she tossed towards Long Tian. She wanted to rescue Long Tian from the Meditative Ruins, but the moment the rope entered the ruins, Long Xi became confused and sat down cross-legged again.
Lu Yin was speechless. If it was so easy to save them, he wouldn't have had to drag them out one by one. He grabbed Long Xi and returned to Mount Supreme.
Once inside, Long Xi returned to normal and looked around. It was still the same place.
Lu Yin didn't believe that he would be able to escape this time, so he threw in two hundred million star essence.
Upgrading the universal armor had cost a total of 116 million star essence, and it could withstand an attack with a power level of nearly 700,000. Mount Supreme was so massive that a hundred million star essence was completely useless, so Lu Yin had tossed out 200 million star essence, which meant that he had spent a total of 300 million star essence.
Long Xi leapt up once more and attacked the barrier.
This time, the barrier was much thicker, and Long Xi's punch shattered it, but she didn't rush out.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth, but it still wasn't enough. He threw in another two hundred million star essence, which made his heart bleed. This was all for Long Xi, and if it weren't for her, he wouldn't have replenished Mount Supreme with so many star essence.
Long Xi punched out once more, but she couldn't shatter the barrier this time. She was shocked, and she began to frantically attack it. She used all sorts of battle techniques, and even the White Dragon Transformation, but it was useless. The barrier shook violently, but it firmly blocked her attacks.
Long Xi was unwilling to give up, and she used a power vessel.
When he saw her crazed expression, Lu Yin silently tossed in another 100 million star essence. He was already numb to this, as he had spent a total of 600 million star essence in order to thicken the barrier to the point where Long Xi would not be able to attack it. It was just too expensive.
