Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and he took out a palm-sized ring that he had obtained from Celestial Master Gu Yan. The Celestial Master had once said that this ring contained the power of one of his attacks.
Cloudfall's secret technique descended, and the palm-sized ring vanished as it swept past the old man.
Without a sound, the old man's face turned ashen, and his body was split in two as he slowly fell into the mountain range.
Cloudfall's secret technique also slowly disappeared.
Everyone fell silent as they stared blankly at the scene. A fourth tribulation cultivator from the Frigid Immortal Sect who could use a secret technique had died without any warning.
They all looked at Lu Yin with eyes full of fear.
Lu Yin had no time to feel sorry for the old man, and he continued rushing towards the ladder. He wanted to get as far away from the old farmer as possible, as well as the Lu family's remnant that had helped him.
After Lu Yin left, the old farmer looked up with bloodshot eyes. "Run. You have to survive. Only by surviving will there be hope."
A day later, another Emissary arrived to block Lu Yin's path. Lu Yin used his dagger and a secret technique to heavily injure this third tribulation Emissary under the protection of an armored puppet. He then continued fleeing towards the east.
The armored puppet was recognized, and Shenwu Plane also sent out experts to intercept him.
Finally, two days later, Lu Yin was trapped in a mountain range by a sourcebox array. The person who had trapped him was Grandmaster Deng Guo.
Lu Yin glared at the old man with murderous intent, but the old man raised his head. "Someone from the Lu family must die."
"What enmity do you have with the Lu family?" Lu Yin asked coldly.
Grandmaster Deng Guo remained calm. "It was the Lu family who suggested that the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society's headquarters be located at the back of the battlefield. The Lu family is the enemy of all Lockbreakers."
Lu Yin smiled brilliantly even as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. "Thank you for showing me how great the Lu family is."
Grandmaster Deng Guo's face darkened. "What a pity. With your innate gift, you'll die here." He had set up a simple sourcebox array in this mountain range ahead of time. As a formation master of Realmyuan, he had more than one sourcebox array.
Lu Yin looked at the countless spots around him that flickered like stars. He used the armored puppet to force his way through, but these spots were not very powerful. However, they had a binding power that was difficult to break through, and any Emissary outside could trap him.
Regardless of whether it was a secret technique or external items, he could not break out. The sourcebox array covered half of the mountain range.
In the surroundings, more and more people from the Four Way Scales gathered.
The White Dragon Tribe still refused to admit that Lu Yin was from the Abandoned Lands. They wanted to preserve their dignity in front of outsiders, but their desire to kill Lu Yin was stronger than anyone else. Only Lu Yin's death could calm this storm.
"So this is how the Lu Clan rules the Starry Sky Tree. Do the bastards of the Lu Clan only have external objects?"
"It's just a useless clan that was destroyed. Looking at this person, I can see that the Lu Clan probably had too many external things back then."
"That must be the case."
…
"Hey, son of a b * tch from the Lu Clan, do you only have external objects?
He must have relied on a sneak attack to kill Young Master Bai, right? "Someone asked loudly.
A disciple of the Cold Immortal Sect glared at Lu Yin. "Yes or no?
Your Lu Clan is just that despicable and shameless. "
"Shameless clan."
"Shameless."
…
Lu Yin stood at the peak of the mountain range and looked around. There were many people who had been ordered to capture him, including Xia Taili, Nong Lie, and the others. There was also Jin Feiyuan from the Zijin Clan. There were too many people who had ridiculed him and hit him when he was down, but Lu Yin did not care about them. He would not be able to escape unless Mister Mu arrived.
"Long Seven, the armed figure belongs to my brother. How did you get it?"
Xia Taili had come to ask about this matter, and the people from Shenwu Planet were also eager to know. They knew that Xia Shenfei was not dead, but how had Lu Yin obtained the armed figure?
Lu Yin looked at her. "I picked it up."
Xia Taili was furious. "Bullshit!"
Lu Yin looked around at the crowd. It was true; he could not escape. There were already a few Emissaries outside, and he could not even get close to the ladder by himself.
Since he could not escape, then he might as well do something, such as clearing the name of the Lu Clan.
"Bai Shaohong?
You're just a piece of trash, "Lu Yin said. His voice was not loud, but his words echoed throughout the area and even covered an entire city.
The people from the Frozen Immortal Sect were furious. "You're just a piece of trash who used an external object to escape. How dare you insult the Junior Ancestor?"
Lu Yin looked up. "I can fight the Fourth Junior Ancestor alone."
Everyone fell silent for a moment, but then they all burst out laughing.
Xia Taili frowned. Was he crazy?
Although she was unhappy about the marriage alliance with Lu Yin, her impression of this person wasn't bad. Now, he actually dared to say such words.
Nong Lie shook his head and sighed.
Jin Feiyuan shouted, "Lu bastard, you want to fight the Fourth Junior Ancestor alone?
You're no match for Elder Shi. Back then, Young Ancestor Bai fought Elder Shi without losing. Once he becomes an Emissary, he'll definitely replace Elder Shi and become invincible in the first Origin Tribulation. What makes you think that? "
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "You can come in and try. One palm is enough to hit you."
Jin Feiyuan snorted and did not want to bother with Lu Yin, but the people around him started to jeer, especially Nong Lie. "Jin Feiyuan, go and try."
"Jin Feiyuan, go and try."
"The Zijin family won't be scared, right?"
"Go."
Jin Feiyuan was embarrassed, but he did not want to go. After all, Lu Yin had been qualified to accompany the Junior Ancestor to the Sovereign Realm. Jin Feiyuan had also been defeated by the Shangqing and Yao Xuan, which had left a shadow in his heart. He hated the people of the Abandoned Lands, which was why he had been so eager to surround Lu Yin.
He did not care if Lu Yin was a member of the Lu family. All he needed to know was that Lu Yin was from the Abandoned Lands. He treated Lu Yin as someone from the Shangqing and Yao Xuan.
"Jin Feiyuan, go and take the combat doll back," Xia Taili ordered. The Zijin family was a vassal of the Shenwu Plane, and if Jin Feiyuan was scared, it would not look good for her.
Jin Feiyuan gritted his teeth and stared at Lu Yin. "Don't use any external objects."
Lu Yin immediately withdrew the combat doll and universal armor. He then raised his right hand and beckoned. "Come."
Jin Feiyuan clenched his fists and transformed into a purple-gold Undying Bird. He soared into the sky, burning with flames as he charged into the sourcebox array and attacked Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked up and struck out with his palm. Empty Palm.
The purple-gold Undying Bird shrieked and spat out a mouthful of blood. However, it was burned by the flames and fell to the ground in an extremely miserable state. Just as it was about to crash into the ground, the purple-gold Undying Bird returned to its human form and then turned around to charge outside. Jin Feiyuan did not want to fight anymore. The Empty Palm had severely injured him, and the only way he could escape was by relying on his power vessel.
Lu Yin sneered. You want to escape?
He took a step forward and directly walked in front of Jin Feiyuan. He grabbed Jin Feiyuan's hair and viciously slapped him, knocking him out.
The surrounding people were stunned. Jin Feiyuan was the Zijin family's young patriarch, so how could he be so weak?
Everyone knew that Jin Feiyuan was not Lu Yin's match, but they had stipulated that Lu Yin could not use external objects. They had not said anything about Jin Feiyuan not being able to use them. This was also why Xia Taili had allowed Jin Feiyuan to attack. She would not let Jin Feiyuan die, but who would have thought that Lu Yin would be so fast that Jin Feiyuan would not even be able to escape?
If one did not fight Lu Yin head-on, they would not be able to understand how powerful he was.
For a moment, no one dared to say anything.
Given Lu Yin's age, he had been able to knock Jin Feiyuan out with a single slap. This was already very shocking to them.
At that moment, Stoneheart arrived and walked into the sourcebox array step by step. He faced Lu Yin directly. "Should I call you Long Qi or Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin's expression was solemn. "Lu Yin."
Stoneheart exclaimed as he looked at Lu Yin's appearance. "You really look like that person."
"Who?" Lu Yin asked.
Stoneheart replied, "Lu — Xiaoxuan."
Lu Yin's mind trembled. Lu Xiaoxuan, Lu Xiaoxuan. The moment he heard these three words, he knew that this was his own name. He was the seventh son of the Lu family, and his name was Lu Xiaoxuan. So this was his original name. It was the name of the person who had defeated Stoneheart, the name of the person who had planted the grass in the seed garden, the name of the boss that Tu Qiming had been waiting for for many years, and the name of the future Lu Yin would use to take revenge in this part of the universe.
"Are you really from the Lu family?" Stoneheart asked with a complicated expression.
Lu Yin flexed his fingers. In this situation, was there any difference whether he was or not?
Since there was no difference, then so be it. "You fought with Lu Xiaoxuan before. How was his General Appointment Platform?"
Stoneheart's eyes flashed with a complicated expression. "The Lu family is very troublesome. Because of the General Appointment Platform, you didn't just fight one person, but many."
Lu Yin smiled again. "Then, the feeling that I haven't felt in a long time is back. I heard that you fought with Bai Shaohong. Let's try it again." With that, the General Appointment Platform appeared in front of him.
The moment it appeared, the sky exploded, and an indescribable aura seemed to sweep through the entire Astral Tree Domain. It also seemed as if the Mother Tree was trembling.
Everyone was stunned, and some of the older people's jaws dropped as they stared at the General Appointment Platform in shock. That familiar feeling had returned. The Lu family that had once ruled over a country by itself had returned.
When they had surrounded Lu Yin, everyone had called him a bastard of the Lu family. However, not every member of the Lu family had a General Appointment Platform. Only the direct descendants of the Lu family could activate the innate gift of the platform.
The appearance of the General Appointment Platform represented Lu Yin's identity; he was a direct descendant of the Lu family.
The Astral Tree Domain had undergone great changes, and everyone's minds had been sealed. They could not recall or speak of anything related to the Lu family, but when the General Appointment Platform appeared, the heads of at least a hundred people exploded as they forcefully recalled the terror of the past.
Stoneheart's expression changed, and she blurted out, "You're Lu Xiaoxuan!"
Outside, the White Dragon elder was shocked, and so were the Envoys from the Frigid Immortal Sect. Xia Taili and the others felt their minds explode, and they looked over in disbelief. Lu Xiaoxuan?
The seventh of the Seven Heroes, a genius who was destined to become a Progenitor, a legend of the Astral Tree Domain. Was he still alive?
Lu Yin knew that his identity would be exposed the moment the General Appointment Platform appeared, just like how Bai Shaohong had recognized him the moment he saw the General Appointment Platform. Lu Yin's appearance was similar to his own before he had lost his memories, and with the General Appointment Platform, it was not strange for him to be recognized.
The strange thing was that Lu Yin's appearance had changed. He was of the same generation as Stoneheart, but his bone age could not be measured. If the General Appointment Platform had once appointed a general, then why was there nothing there? It was as if he had just awakened. Even so, Bai Shaohong and Stoneheart had recognized him at a glance. What was the reason behind this?
