Over the past two months, he hadn't gone to the cloud ladder even once. The Misty Cloud Sect was completely at ease, and the White Dragon Tribe had also contributed to this. An elder named Long Quan had specifically sought him out to warn him that this was related to the astral origin liquid.
Lu Yin's attitude towards Elder Long Quan was both arrogant and respectful, but he also seemed obedient and honest. Elder Long Quan didn't say anything else.
After Xia Taili left, she felt bored. There was no one in Huaiyuan who was worthy of being bullied by her, which was why she had left. However, Lu Yin still felt that it was because of the starsource liquid. She had wanted to play, but she had gone too far.
On the second day after Xia Taili left, Yu Die, who Lu Yin had been keeping an eye on in the Humble Huaiyuan Sect's intelligence network, finally made a move and released a piece of information. Yu Die had thought that this information was very secretive and that no one would know about it, but in reality, if not for his die's Possession, Lu Yin wouldn't have known about Yu Chen's method of contacting Yu Die.
This piece of information caused Lu Yin's calm heart to stir. It was time to make a move.
A day later, Lu Yin left the Humble Huaiyuan Sect's headquarters with Wang Dashuai, Shangqing, and Liu Tianmu and headed for the cloud ladder.
In the distance, Cai Shu was astonished; they were going to the cloud ladder?
She had thought that Yun Mubai had dealt with Lu Yin.
When Lu Yin's group arrived at the cloud ladder, Yun Yang's expression changed the moment he heard the news, and he hurriedly went to find Lu Yin.
"Dragon Sect Leader, what are you doing here again?" Yun Yang asked the moment he saw Lu Yin.
Uncle Kuang from the Misty Cloud Sect had also come the moment he heard the news; Lu Yin had left a deep impression on them.
The white fatty sneered when he saw Yun Yang's startled expression, but Yun Yang ignored him.
He knew that this batch of astral origin liquid was about to be delivered, and Lu Yin's arrival at this time made him very uneasy.
Lu Yin looked around, "I haven't been here in a while, so I wanted to take a look."
Yun Yang took a few steps forward and whispered, "Dragon Sect Leader, have you forgotten what the Sect Master told you?
Or have you forgotten about that corpse? "
His words reminded Lu Yin of the young girl that Yun Mubai had killed in front of him. Lu Yin's heart turned cold, and he looked at Yun Yang with an unfriendly gaze, "Are you threatening me?"
Yun Yang sneered. "Dragon Sect Master, you'd better think this through. There are some things that you can't touch. Has Dragon Sect Master never thought that what happened to that woman could happen to you?"
Suddenly, the air was torn apart as a sharp blade brushed past Lu Yin's ear and pierced towards Yunyang.
He hadn't expected someone to stab him with a sword. He hadn't even had the time to react. Even Uncle Kuang, an emissary level powerhouse, hadn't been able to react.
When everyone came back to their senses, Liu Tianmu was holding the hilt of his sword. The tip of the sword was less than a millimeter away from Yun Yang's neck. If he moved forward slightly, Yun Yang would be beheaded.
Yun Yang stared at the tip of the sword in horror. He could feel the real murderous intent, as if he had just walked the line between life and death.
Uncle Kuang was infuriated, and he took a step forward and raised his hand to slap at the sword's edge. Lu Yin raised his hand at the same time, and both Uncle Kuang and Uncle Kuang met the sword's edge. Uncle Kuang's palm collided with Uncle Kuang's palm, and with the sword's edge as support, the collision caused the void to distort as a terrifying shockwave spread out in all directions.
Liu Tianmu almost lost his grip on his sword, and the tip of his sword trembled.
Uncle Kuang and Lu Yin simultaneously retreated.
Yun Yang's entire body was sent flying by the shockwave, and his chest felt stuffy as he almost spat out blood.
Uncle Kuang looked at Lu Yin in shock; this person's strength had actually forced him back?
Lu Yin waved his hand, and the shockwave dissipated as he stared coldly at Uncle Kuang. Back on the Royal Frost Continent, he had used an empty palm to force back Emperor Luo. Although he hadn't used any battle force, his own realm and physical strength had made up for it. Uncle Kuang and Emperor Luo were on par, so it was only natural that he would be forced back.
If Lu Yin had used his golden battle force, then Uncle Kuang wouldn't have simply been forced back.
In terms of true strength, the gap between the Astral Realm and Lu Yin's own strength was too great. He might not have been able to gain much of an advantage, but Uncle Kuang's hasty attack would only be at a disadvantage against Lu Yin's empty palm.
Liu Tianmu sheathed his sword and stared coldly at Uncle Kuang.
Uncle Kuang looked at Lu Yin. "Nice move, Dragon Sect Leader."
Lu Yin coldly replied, "Does the Misty Cloud Sect only teach its disciples how to threaten others?
I'm the sect leader of the Humble Huaiyuan Sect, but your sect's disciple actually threatened me and said that he would kill me. I will pass this message to Superintendent Qingchen and ask her to uphold justice. "
Uncle Kuang looked at Yunyang with a cold gaze.
Yunyang hurriedly said, "Don't slander me, Dragon Sect Leader. I didn't say that."
"The Superintendent will ask Sect Leader Yun about it. Just you wait," Lu Yin said loudly.
Yunyang panicked; if he really provoked the Nine Gates Superintendent, then he would definitely be punished. Third Elder Yun's fate had made him much more restrained during this period of time, and he didn't want to cause any trouble.
He helplessly took a deep breath and apologized, "Dragon Sect Leader, please forgive me for speaking without thinking. I didn't mean any harm."
The white fatty was pleased; he had also been forced back by the exchange of palms and had been shocked by Lu Yin's strength. When he saw Yunyang lower his head, he felt extremely satisfied.
Lu Yin looked at Yunyang and his attitude improved. "I'm not an unreasonable person. Since you've apologized, then I won't pursue the matter. Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble. I'll leave after taking a look."
Yunyang cursed inwardly, but he didn't know what Lu Yin was here for. He didn't believe that it had anything to do with the astral origin liquid, and he didn't believe that Lu Yin would be so bold as to touch the liquid again. That would be courting death. As long as it didn't have anything to do with the astral origin liquid, then there really wasn't anything beneath the cloud ladder that would make Yunyang angry.
"Thank you, Dragon Sect Leader," Yunyang said sullenly.
Uncle Kuang looked at Lu Yin and exclaimed, "It's rumored that the White Dragon Tribe specializes in physical strength. You haven't even used your White Dragon Transformation, but you already have such terrifying physical strength. There aren't many below the Emissary Realm who can compete with you."
Lu Yin indifferently replied, "You're too kind. I just absorbed some dragon saliva."
"Dragon saliva?"
Uncle Kuang, Yunyang, and Wang Dashuai exclaimed at the same time as they looked at Lu Yin with envy and jealousy. They were no strangers to dragon saliva, as it was a supreme treasure of the White Dragon Tribe that had been obtained from the Ancestral Mang. Anyone who absorbed dragon saliva would experience a huge increase in physical strength.
"No wonder, no wonder," Uncle Kuang said as he recalled Lu Yin's past. He had first heard that Lu Yin had been adopted as a son-in-law and was rumored to be cowardly and incompetent. However, it wasn't long before he heard that Lu Yin's inheritance in the Sword Stele had surpassed Bai Xianer's. After that, more and more rumors about Lu Yin had appeared. Now that he had faced Lu Yin face to face, Uncle Kuang finally had a better understanding of Lu Yin's strength.
However, these didn't seem to be Lu Yin's true abilities. After all, Lu Yin had obtained Half-Ancestor Kui Luo's inheritance, and Half-Ancestor Kui Luo was proficient in spiritual force. It was no wonder that Lu Yin had been qualified to accompany the Junior Ancestor to the Sovereign Realm and had successfully come out. Even the Young Mistress hadn't been able to do so.
After intimidating Yunyang for a while, Lu Yin explained the situation to Yunyang. Yunyang no longer stared at Lu Yin like a ghost, but instead observed him from a distance, just in case.
Lu Yin continued to stroll around the cloud ladder, and it wasn't long before he discovered his target. It was one of the Yu Butterflies who had hidden her identity.
The cloud ladder was connected to the Top Realm and the Middle Realm. Aside from transporting people, it also carried goods and materials. Most goods could be taken away through cosmic rings, but there were still many that couldn't be stored in cosmic rings, such as those that were too large. Lu Yin saw quite a few ores and materials piled up on the cloud continent, such as living creatures.
Generally, the Misty Cloud Sect would inspect goods that couldn't be stored in cosmic rings more strictly. However, there were some exceptions, as they had the same privileges as the people transporting the starsource elixir.
Lu Yin watched as a lively girl instructed a Misty Cloud Sect disciple to move the materials onto the cloud continent. No one inspected the materials.
When Lu Yin's gaze focused on the girl and the materials, Yunyang didn't feel anything. However, Xiao Er's expression changed, and he hurriedly shot a look at the disciple who had activated the cloud continent. The disciple didn't wait for anyone else to come up and immediately activated the cloud continent, causing it to fly along the trunk of the Mother Tree towards the Top Realm.
Lu Yin smiled faintly and then vanished.
Yunyang's eyelids twitched, and his heart sank. He had a feeling that something bad was about to happen when Lu Yin moved.
Lu Yin appeared on top of the cloud continent and then exerted his strength, causing the cloud continent to shatter into pieces.
"What are you doing?!" The girl was furious, and she pointed a finger at Lu Yin. She used the Frigid Immortal Sect's battle technique, Immortal Guides the Way.
Lu Yin didn't move, and a stream of energy wrapped around the girl's arm before he viciously punched her abdomen. The girl bent over from the impact and almost vomited out the contents of her stomach.
The Prime Clear Sect took action, and he and Liu Tianmu quickly followed Lu Yin onto the cloud continent.
Yunyang hurriedly rushed over, and along the way, Xiao Er transmitted a message to him. His expression changed, and he shouted, "Dragon Sect Leader, please have mercy!"
Even further away, Uncle Kuang subconsciously attacked Lu Yin. This guy was causing trouble again, but Cai Shu reacted quickly and blocked Uncle Kuang's path.
Misty Cloud Sect disciples appeared one after another and surrounded Lu Yin's group.
Xiao Er was so anxious that he started to sweat, and he looked at the pile of materials in fear.
Lu Yin quietly stood beside the pile of materials, and Yunyang hurried over and asked, "Dragon Sect Leader, what are you doing now?"
Lu Yin looked around and then pointed at the girl. "She's a spy."
The girl was furious. "Nonsense! I'm a disciple of the Frigid Immortal Sect and one of the junior ancestor's people! How could I be a spy? Let me go!"
Yunyang gritted his teeth. "Dragon Sect Leader, what evidence do you have?"
Lu Yin sneered. "Normally, a commoner doesn't need to provide evidence, but since you want to see it, I'll show it to you." He then waved his hand, and the pile of materials was lifted to reveal a child.
No one had expected that there would be a child under the pile of materials. The oldest was no more than five years old, and they had fainted on the ground. They looked innocent and cute, but their expressions were filled with fear and helplessness.
The people who had been waiting in line to ascend the escalator were all stunned.
Yunyang's expression was even gloomier.
Xiao Er's body swayed. It's over, it's all over.
Cai Shu's expression changed, and she glared at Yunyang.
Even Uncle Kuang was stunned, as he hadn't expected that children would be smuggled to the Topmost Realm. No one had told him about this.
