Lu Yin looked down at the ground with a complicated expression. Another member of the Lu family.
"Grandpa Zhi, it's me, Little Tu! Grandpa Zhi!" Young Tu shouted as well, his eyes red, but Wan Zhiyi still did not respond.
Uncle He sighed. "Senior's every move is being watched."
Young Tu bellowed, "Those traitors! The Lu family will destroy them sooner or later! How dare they imprison Grandpa Zhi! Traitors!"
Uncle He sighed helplessly and looked to the side, coincidentally meeting Lu Yin's gaze.
Lu Yin knew that Uncle He was still wary of his status as a White Dragon, so he nodded and left.
Three days later, Lu Yin was resting when a voice came from outside. "Are you Brother Long Qi?"
Lu Yin opened his eyes and walked out to see a bald man with a ferocious appearance. He recognized this person as Baldy Fang, an Emissary of the Remnant Army. He was not weak and lived not far from Lu Yin.
"Junior Long Qi. Senior, what can I do for you?" Lu Yin asked.
Baldy Fang looked at Lu Yin and said, "Let's talk inside."
Lu Yin nodded and stepped aside, allowing Baldy Fang to enter.
"Brother Long Qi, you've been in the Remnant Army for quite some time, so you must have some understanding of its internal structure. Which side do you wish to join?" Baldy Fang asked.
Lu Yin was confused. "What side?"
Baldy Fang replied seriously, "Let's not beat around the bush. Brother Long Qi, there's no point in playing dumb."
Lu Yin shrugged. "Sorry, I really don't know."
Baldy Fang frowned and stared at Lu Yin for a while before saying, "There are factions within the Remnant Army. The remnants of the Lu family belong to one such faction, such as the Qiming family and the Myriad Daos family. Big Sister Luo Sha is only second to the two Half-Ancestors, so she belongs to another faction. As for us, we were sent here because we offended someone in the Astral Trees, so we belong to another faction. Does Brother Long Qi understand?"
Lu Yin's expression darkened. "Remnants of the Lu family?"
Baldy Ya said, "That's right. That Young Master Tu, who's been harassing you, is a survivor of the Lu family. I'm sure you're very impatient with him, but let me remind you that those survivors are not to be trifled with. However, don't even think about joining them. It's impossible. They only accept their own people. Besides, if you get close to them, once you return to the Starry Sky of Trees, you won't have a good ending."
"Do you dislike the Lu family?" Lu Yin asked.
Baldy Fang grunted. "These Paragons who rule the Starry Sky of the Trees are disgusting." He grew impatient. "Tell me, do you want to join us?
Don't forget that in the battle three days ago, it was normal for millions of people to die. Actually, I saw that you were being chased by a Corpse King, and I wanted to help you. It would be best if you could deal with it yourself, but that was also because of luck. The battle will only become more and more intense in the future, and two of the twelve Marquises have come. How long do you think your luck can last? "
"Join us and help each other. That's the only way to survive, isn't it?"
Lu Yin looked at Baldy Fang, amused. "Do you even know where I come from?"
Baldy Fang sneered. "Don't try to scare me with your status as a White Dragon. It's useless. Once you're here, you can only leave after the exchange between two Half-Ancestors. It's the same for you. It's not like no one from the Four Cardinal Scales has come here before, but they've all died. Don't think that you'll be treated well here."
Baldy Fang's words showed that this person did not understand Lu Yin at all, and he did not even know that the Remnant Army had taken the initiative to attack Xiang City in order to save Lu Yin. These people were made up of people who had committed grave crimes in the Starry Sky of the Trees, and Young Master Tu and the others did not think highly of them.
Big Sis Rakshasa probably did not think highly of them either, as the two Half-Ancestors would not even care about them. These people still thought that they were amazing.
They must have seen that Lu Yin had repaired the sourcebox array and wanted to rope him in.
"You can leave. I'm not interested in you." Lu Yin had seen through these people's faces, and there was no need for him to say anything more.
Baldy Fang frowned and threatened, "Long Seven, this is the Remnant Army, and your status as a White Dragon won't give you any special treatment. Even if the two Half-Ancestors want to take care of you, it's useless. On the battlefield, we have the most people, and we're the most trustworthy. Think carefully."
Lu Yin waved a hand. "Take care. I won't be sending you off."
Baldy Fang snorted. "You'll understand after a few more battles. But let me remind you that we won't risk saving you before you join us. Think of a way to survive on your own." He then left in a very bad mood.
Lu Yin did not mind, and he was just about to continue resting when he saw a stream of water from the corner of his eye. His mood immediately soured. That bastard was doing it again.
"Awesome! Awesome!" Young Master Tu shouted from the top of the mountain.
Lu Yin walked out with an ugly expression. "When do you plan on getting beaten up?"
Young Master Tu pursed his lips. "I saw Baldy Fang come out from your place. You didn't team up with those trash, did you?"
"That's none of your business."
Young Master Tu rolled his eyes. "Actually, if you beg me properly, I can ask Grandpa Zhi to protect you. You've seen how powerful Grandpa Zhi is."
Lu Yin was astonished. "That senior cares about you?"
Young Master Tu coughed. "Of course. I called him Grandpa Zhi, so who else would he help if not me?"
"Call him that now, and we'll see if he agrees," Lu Yin grumbled, as it was obvious that he was lying.
Young Master Tu gritted his teeth. "Kid, don't be ungrateful. Hurry up and beg me."
Lu Yin could see the anticipation in Young Master Tu's eyes. This guy often mistook Lu Yin for someone else and tried to force Lu Yin to lower his head in order to satisfy his subtle desires. It was as if Lu Yin lowering his head would be that person lowering his head. However, Young Master Tu did not know that Lu Yin was indeed that person.
"Ask the senior to come out first," Lu Yin said before returning to his room.
Young Master Tu grew anxious. "Kid, don't doubt me. Hurry up and beg me, or you won't be so lucky the next time we fight. Actually, I was the one who begged Grandpa Zhi, and that's why Grandpa Zhi helped me. Kid, did you hear that …"
The most depressed person in the Folded Mountain Range right now was the person sitting below Lu Yin. Every time Young Master Tu sprayed out a stream of water, it would land on him at the main entrance. However, that person did not dare to voice his anger, and he wanted to move, but he could not bring himself to do so. He was extremely sullen and could only curse inwardly.
Lu Yin was not in a good mood either. He did not know what the Witch Spirit God was up to, but ever since the large-scale battle had ended, the Xiang Marquis and Marquis Qing Zhu had set their sights on the remnant army and constantly sent Corpse Kings to attack. A few days later, the battle had expanded even further.
Lu Yin activated his source awl and red light to slaughter the Corpse Kings in a frenzy. The entire Folded Mountain Range was dyed red, and he became the focus of attention. A total of three Emissary level Corpse Kings attacked him, and if not for Uncle He and Zhou Tang, he would have been surrounded.
However, even if they could stop the Emissary level Corpse Kings, they could not stop Marquis Qing Zhu from attacking.
No one had expected that Marquis Qing Zhu would suddenly attack him. The dark green bamboo pierced through the void and appeared out of nowhere, ruthlessly striking Lu Yin's body. Lu Yin spat out a mouthful of blood, and his Cloud Landing Robe was torn apart as half of the bamboo pierced his body.
Was the Witch Spirit God dead?
The Twelve Marquises had actually attacked him.
Lu Yin felt like he was definitely going to die.
It was time to summon Mister Mu. In front of him, Qing Zhu was being grabbed by an old man. The old man's hands were like bones without any flesh, and his entire body was like a skeleton. His wrists and limbs were bound by strange chains that were connected to the ground.
Lu Yin immediately confirmed that this old man was Wan Zhiyi, the Grand Elder of the Myriad Daos Clan.
Pfft!
Lu Yin spat out another mouthful of blood and fell down. Young Master Tu rushed over to catch him. "Hey, you're not dead, are you?"
Lu Yin's chest was stained with blood, and he did not react at all to Marquis Qing Zhu's attack. No matter what technique he used, it was useless against a Half-Progenitor.
"I won't die." Lu Yin coughed up more blood and hurriedly swallowed a pill as he panted heavily.
If not for Wan Zhiyi's intervention, that attack would have pierced through him. Even if he did not die, he would have been severely injured, and that would have been the most likely outcome. A Progenitor's attack would have been enough to tear his body apart.
If not for the Cloud Landing Robe, that bamboo would not have even gotten close to him; it would have been enough to tear him apart.
It was a pity that the Cloud Landing Robe had been destroyed.
"You're not dead?
How are you so lucky? "Young Master Tu supported Lu Yin in shock.
Lu Yin's fingers trembled, and his body's vitality was continuously replenished to speed up his recovery.
Due to the lack of his control, the red light's power had weakened, but the source awl was still fine, and it automatically attacked.
Above him, Wan Zhiyi's expression was solemn, but since he was all skin and bones, it was hard to tell. "One of the Twelve Marquises, Marquis Qing Zhu, is actually attacking an Enlighter junior. How surprising."
Marquis Qing Zhu smiled. "Junior?
That's just how you humans refer to time. In my eyes, that person became an Origin Array Master at such a young age and killed an Envoy-level Corpse King as an Enlighter. He's a huge threat to my clan, and he even has an external item that can block one of my attacks. His status among you humans shouldn't be low, and he's definitely qualified for me to attack.
"Also, I feel that this person looks familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before."
Wan Zhiyi glanced at Lu Yin and paused on Lu Yin's face for a moment. He then looked at Marquis Qing Zhu. "Are you familiar with my appearance?"
Marquis Qing Zhu could not help but laugh. His expression was calm and elegant. "You've changed completely. Wan Zhiyi, you were full of mettle back then, but now you're on the verge of death. With the Lu clan gone, you people really don't have any value in living anymore.
Wan Zhiyi's eyes flashed with killing intent, but he also disappeared.
Even though Lu Yin could see the Astral Source Universe, he could not clearly see the battle between the two.
"Grandpa Zhi will definitely win. Grandpa Zhi is the most powerful Half-Progenitor, and he's just one step away from breaking through to the Progenitor realm. If not for the Lu family's accident back then, my Cosmic Tree Realm would have gained another Progenitor to protect it," Young Master Tu said.
Lu Yin clutched his chest, as his injuries were recovering quickly. Fortunately, he had the Cloud Lattice Robe, which prevented the residual power of Marquis Qing Zhu's attack from entering his body. Otherwise, it would have been troublesome. He put on his universal armor without hesitation, and only then did he feel at ease.
Young Master Tu stared blankly at Lu Yin. "What's that?"
Lu Yin growled. "You don't have a defensive external item?"
Young Master Tu was astonished. "Is this thing useful?"
At this moment, several Corpse Kings surrounded them. There were two Enlighters and five Hunters. Lu Yin attacked with his Empty Palm and sent all five Corpse Kings flying.
Uncle He landed. "It's not safe here. Let's go." He then grabbed Young Master Tu and headed towards the top of the Folded Mountain Range.
