It had to be said that beauties had an advantage at certain times, and Michelle's outstanding appearance dazzled anyone who saw her.
Few people in the trial zones were willing to have someone else appear beside them, but Michelle was not one of them.
Michelle looked around and saw that everything around her was black. This was the Dao of Purgatory, the place where Astral-6's main forces gathered. She turned around and saw a towering black mountain range in the distance. If Lu Yin had been here, he would have recognized it as Spear Mountain, the place where he had lost his life.
Michelle pondered for a moment before heading towards Spear Mountain.
Just as she got close, a black shadow suddenly attacked her. Michelle's expression changed, and she instinctively retreated to avoid the attack. She looked up, "War spirit?"
Michelle knew more about the trial zones than Lu Yin, and she immediately prepared to fight the moment she saw the war spirit. War spirits had no intelligence and could only fight when they encountered each other.
Suddenly, danger descended, not from the war spirit in front of her, but from the other side. Michelle subconsciously activated her innate gift, and a red lotus bloomed beneath her feet as she disappeared from her original spot.
"Eh, Red Lotus?"
Two men and two women walked out from not far away. The leader was a young man, and he was looking at Michelle who had appeared in the distance with surprise.
Michelle looked at the man in shock. She felt an extreme sense of danger from him. This man was very strong, very strong. He was strong enough to kill her easily. That was what Michelle felt at the moment.
The war spirit suddenly attacked the man, but he casually raised a hand and flicked his finger. There was a flash of light in the void, and the war spirit froze. The space around it collapsed, and the war spirit vanished along with it.
Michelle's pupils shrank, and she retreated a few more steps. She stared at the man in shock; he was too terrifying! He could tear through the void so easily! She was on a completely different level from him.
"Red Lotus, I remember that there's a Red Lotus Witchbow in Astral-6. What's your relationship with her?"
The man asked curiously. Although the question was abrupt, his tone was gentle, and he didn't seem overbearing. The three people behind him also looked at Michelle curiously.
"She's my sister," Michelle answered in a low voice.
The man nodded. "No wonder. I've seen her before. She's a very flirtatious woman." He then looked up and smiled at Michelle. "I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm Liu Tang, the captain of the Spirit Hunters."
Michelle was astonished. The Spirit Hunters were teams that specialized in hunting War Spirits in the trial zones. Their purpose was unknown, but it was rumored that they were there to find out the truth of the trial zones, or perhaps to comprehend something. No one could say for sure, but one thing was clear: the Spirit Hunters were all very powerful.
"My name is Michelle."
Liu Tang smiled again, nodded, and turned to leave.
Michelle watched as Liu Tang slowly left. She took a deep breath. She hadn't expected to encounter such a terrifying person right after entering the trial zones. Liu Tang?
Liu?
Primeval surnames?
At this moment, another man appeared and walked up to Michelle. His eyes lit up as he said, "You must be Michelle."
Michelle stared at this person warily. This person was also very strong and had a hint of dominance.
The man smiled. "My name is Frankfurt, and I'm the Area Master of the Spear Mountain Range. Senior Mira helped me in the academy."
"Hello, Senior," Michelle said politely.
Frankfurt waved his hand. "You're welcome. Senior Mira has helped me a lot. Michelle, since you've come to the Spear Mountain Range, you should stay. You can comprehend some things here."
Michelle shook her head. "Thank you, Senior, but the Spear Mountain Range doesn't suit me."
Frankfurt felt that it was a pity. "That's true. You and Senior Mira both have the innate gift of the red lotus. In the entire Dao of Purgatory, the only place that suits you is the Heavenly Drum."
Michelle nodded. The Heavenly Drum was the greatest place to gain insights and experience in the Dao of Purgatory. It was also where the Realm Master of the Dao of Purgatory resided, so it was the only place that suited her.
"By the way, Senior, have you heard of Liu Tang?" Michelle suddenly asked. She was very interested in that person. Although they were both from the same generation, he was too strong.
When he heard Liu Tang's name, Frankfurt's expression changed. "How do you know him?
Did Senior Mira tell you? "
Michelle shook her head. "He was here just now."
Frankfurt's expression darkened. "These spirit hunters are still so unruly. This is Spear Mountain, my territory." He then looked at Michelle and asked, "Liu Tang didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Michelle shook her head. "Who is he?
Is he also an Area Master? "
Frankfurt replied, "He's not an Area Master, but he's definitely not weaker than any of them. He's a student of Astral-2, and he's from the Sword Sect."
Michelle's expression changed, and she exclaimed, "The Sword Sect?"
Frankfurt nodded solemnly. "That's right. The Sword Sect's leader is the Liu family. They're an ancient family with a primeval surname that's viewed as an enemy by countless people in the universe. Liu Tang is from that family. You should know that one of the Ten Arbiters also has the surname Liu, and he's also from the Sword Sect."
Michelle did not ask any more questions. The words "Sword Sect" represented many things, and it was no wonder why she felt that the surname Liu was familiar. Her sister had once mentioned that one of the Ten Arbiters had single-handedly flattened an entire weave with a single sword. He was unrivaled among the younger generation, and Liu Tang was from the same sect as that person. It was no wonder why he was so powerful.
Michelle left, as Spear Mountain no longer attracted her. She wanted to go to the Dao of Purgatory's most important training ground: the Heavenly Drum. Whoever occupied the Heavenly Drum would be the Realm Master. This statement represented the Heavenly Drum's status.
He arrived at the Umbral Butterfly Weave, but he was still a few dozen realms away from his target, the planet where the Giant Tribe resided.
A few days later, Xia Luo completed his hundred victories at the trial zone entrance of Astral-10. He then followed the Trialmaster's guidance into the trial zones.
Not long after his success, Silver also completed his hundred victories and entered the trial zones with his trademark foxy grin.
Xia Luo entered the Dao of Heaven, which was where the powerhouses of Astral-5 resided. He was very lucky, as this place was very close to his destination. In less than three hours, he saw a gigantic spacecraft-like technological product inserted diagonally into the ground. This was the Dao of Heaven's Machine Mound, and the Area Master was named Xia Ye.
Silver sat within the trial zone mountain and scanned his surroundings. When he saw Michelle and Xia Luo in the distance, he sat down and leaned against the mountain wall. "Which one is it?
Let me think. Right, Astral-4. Astral-4 seems to be in the Dao of Slaughter. "He closed his eyes, but when he opened them again, he had already arrived at the Dao of Slaughter. The stench of blood filled the air.
"What a good place," Silver sighed. He looked around and then headed in a certain direction. He had someone he needed to meet up with. "I remember that it's in a training ground called the Ice Realm. It seems to be an Area Master. Interesting. I wonder if I can snatch that place."
If Lu Yin knew how the three of them had been treated upon entering the trial zones, he would have been depressed. He had been ambushed the moment he had arrived, and in the end, he had been killed by Frankfurt's spear. Each of them had been treated better than the other, and they all had Area Masters backing them up. This was fate.
At this moment, Lu Yin felt rather melancholy as he looked at the giant planet in front of him. That was his destination, but he could not enter it. The Umbral Butterfly Weave was selecting elites for the Astral Combat Tournament, and the Astral Combat Academy was trying in vain to show their faces in the tournament. This giant planet was one of the weave's training grounds, and it had all been sealed off, just like Earth had been.
Since he could not enter directly, he would have to use other methods. Lu Yin observed his surroundings and discovered that there were more spacecrafts entering from the right side of the trial zone. He immediately steered his spacecraft to the right and sent out a request to land.
His spacecraft was a personal spacecraft that was very small and could only land on a large spacecraft.
Generally, large spacecraft would not bother with him, as no one would casually allow a stranger into their home. However, Lu Yin's luck was pretty good, and there was one that was willing to accept him. He was not afraid of any dangers, and he immediately charged towards the spacecraft.
Ah Mu was very distressed as he watched the giant planet grow closer and closer. His inner frustration and fear almost swallowed him whole. As the only male of the Umbral Butterfly Clan, he was very sad. The Umbral Butterfly Clan had their own unique abilities, but these innate gifts were not suitable for men. Thus, he had been abandoned and rarely returned to the Umbral Butterfly Clan.
He had not wanted to participate in this weave's trial, but perhaps the Umbral Butterfly Clan wanted to eliminate him as an anomaly, so they had forced him to participate. He had just become a Melder, and he was still far from the elites who dared to participate in the weave's trial. How could he possibly complete the trial? Besides, he did not like fighting; he was just a civilian.
Just as Ah Mu was feeling depressed, he accidentally received a request to land on a spacecraft. He agreed without thinking about it. This was the Umbral Butterfly Weave, and no one would dare to do anything to a spacecraft from the Umbral Butterfly Clan. However, he regretted it the moment he agreed. Could it be that the clan could not wait and wanted to eliminate him in advance?
Ah Mu immediately closed the entry channel, but it was too late. The spacecraft had already charged in as if it had been injected with stimulants. Was it that impatient?
Ah Mu's face went pale as he waited for his death.
Lu Yin set up the spacecraft and then entered the large spacecraft through the passageway. Strangely, there were not many people on this spacecraft. After searching for a while, he arrived at the command room. There were only a few people there, and all of them had gloomy expressions. It was as if their fathers had died.
"You're here to kill me, right? Do it," Ah Mu's voice rang out.
Lu Yin looked over and saw a pale, thin youth looking at him bitterly with a face full of despair.
"What, you don't want to be seen?"
Ah Mu then dismissed the others. These people had been sent by the Umbral Butterfly Clan to take care of him. Although he had been abandoned by the Umbral Butterfly Clan, the Umbral Butterfly Clan would not go overboard on the surface to avoid giving others the impression that they were bullying the weak.
"Can you do it now? Do it. If I die, a lot of people will be able to relax." Ah Mu's voice grew hoarse, and his eyes dimmed.
Lu Yin frowned and approached him step by step.
As Lu Yin drew closer, Ah Mu's heartbeat sped up, and the fear of death enveloped him. His face went pale, and his lips trembled. "Wait, wait! Can you tell me who sent you before I die?"
Lu Yin sneered. "Do you really want to die?"
Ah Mu's eyes widened. "I don't want to die, but …" Ah Mu lost all his strength and slumped into his chair. "I can't resist."
"I can spare your life," Lu Yin said.
Ah Mu's eyes lit up, and he stared at Lu Yin. "What did you say?
You won't kill me? "
Lu Yin nodded. "I won't kill you, but I have a condition."
