This was where she was at a loss. Up until now, the only person who could deal with the Sword Sect and wanted to do so was Lu Yin. She hoped that Lu Yin could defeat the Sword Sect and release Yōu Ye'er, which would allow her Yōu Court to join the Great Eastern Alliance. However, this would not work if an external enemy like the Sixth Mainland was involved.
Furthermore, Lu Yin had never bothered with her, which gave her the greatest headache.
Madam You was not the only one with a headache. Many people who were related to Lu Yin, including the Great Eastern Alliance's internal members. They wanted to know what was going to happen, but most did not have the right to ask.
After Qing Hua left, the first person to contact Lu Yin and force him to explain himself appeared: Master Yuan.
Lu Yin had already reached the Lesser Thousand Flowzone, and Starsibyl brought Wendy Yushan's blood to Senior Zhu. Lu Yin then received a call from Master Yuan.
Master Yuan rarely called, but this time, he was truly anxious.
"Qing Hua leaving has nothing to do with you?" Master Yuan asked.
Lu Yin was silent for a moment. "Don't worry, Senior. This junior knows what to do and what not to do."
Master Yuan replied, "That's good." He then ended the call.
Lu Yin looked up at the sky. The time to deal with the Sword Sect was approaching.
Senior Zhu spent an entire day divining. Finally, Lu Yin saw that the rune lines had spread out in all directions, exactly as Starsibyl had predicted.
His heart sank.
"Alliance Master Lu, please come in," Starsibyl said.
Lu Yin followed her into the place where he had first met Senior Zhu, and Starsibyl withdrew.
"Sorry to trouble you, Senior," Lu Yin said politely.
Across from him, Senior Zhu had a serious expression. "Alliance Master Lu, this Undying Yushan is rather troublesome."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "How is he compared to Xia Ji?"
"Even more troublesome," Senior Zhu answered without hesitation.
Lu Yin did not understand. "Senior, Undying Yushan is definitely not as strong as Xia Ji."
Senior Zhu shook her head. "It has nothing to do with strength. His involvement is too terrifying and far too ancient. Through my divinations, I actually sensed the aura of an ancient Netherworld Progenitor."
"Netherworld Progenitor?"
Lu Yin cried out in surprise. He'd heard of this name before, but not much. He only knew that it was an ancient Ancestor Realm expert that had been obliterated in the river of time a long time ago, and his age far surpassed that of Ancestor Chen and the Talisman Ancestor.
Senior Pearl recalled, "The Netherworld's Ancestor was the strongest Progenitor of the second continent that had yet to shatter. Because it was so long ago, there's no way to verify it. What we can confirm is that the Netherworld's Ancestor truly did exist. The You family is his descendant, and the 'You' character was created by him."
"If you want to make a comparison, then perhaps the Netherworld Ancestor's time in existence might have crossed paths with the legendary Grim Reaper and Wu Tian, who have yet to be proven to have existed. During that era, the six mainlands had yet to shatter, and the Daosource Sect had dominated the universe. That era was too long ago."
Lu Yin frowned. "Undying Yushan is related to the Netherworld Ancestor?
He's not from the You Family. "
Senior Zhu shook her head. "I don't know who he is, but when I tried to divine him, I did indeed sense the Netherworld Ancestor's aura. That ancient and cryptic aura can't be wrong."
"How does Progenitor Chen compare to the Netherworld's Ancestor?" Lu Yin asked.
Senior Zhu replied, "I don't know, as they aren't from the same era. Progenitor Chen is practically invincible among those at the same level, and he can even beat Progenitors into silence. The Symbol Progenitor created a civilization that history doesn't dare to acknowledge. However, they're both relatively recent. Even though it's been a long time since the Netherworld's Ancestor existed, it's still quite a distance away."
"Alliance Master Lu, this Undying Yushan is rather troublesome, and you're involved with him.
His aura is on you, but I can't find out what it is. If possible, it's best if you go to the You family and investigate. The You family is the Netherworld's Ancestor's descendant, so you might be able to find something. "
Lu Yin's heart was heavy as he left the Starsibyl Sect with Liu Yefei.
The Netherworld's Ancestor was actually related to such an ancient existence, and it had crossed paths with the Grim Reaper's era. That was too long ago, and even the Sixth Mainland's Three Ancestors felt that such an era was ancient. How could Undying Yushan have crossed paths with such an ancient existence?
It seemed that he really needed to have a chat with Madam You.
Right, the Yōu Secret Symbol seemed to contain the power of time, and Yōu Ye'er had concealed it. Lu Yin had not paid much attention to it at the time, but now that he thought about it, it was incomparably terrifying. The battle technique that Yōu Ye'er had used during the Sovereign Tournament was also extremely strange.
The Yōu Court had intentionally split from the You family and sought his protection. At that time, Lu Yin had already guessed that the You family was hiding some sort of secret, and now, it seemed that he had to investigate this secret. Perhaps it was related to Undying Yushan.
Lu Yin remained silent on the way back to the Blazing Mist Flowzone.
Liu Yefei did not ask any questions either. The more she followed Lu Yin, the more she understood the Fifth Mainland's situation. Before this, they would never have imagined that an Enlighter could affect the entire Fifth Mainland. Now, it seemed that Lu Yin's influence would only grow as they followed him.
There was no better way to understand the Fifth Mainland than by following Lu Yin.
…
There was still one day before the appointed time with Guru Qing Hua. Yesterday, someone had seen Guru Qing Hua appear near the Blazing Mist Flowzone, and the Sword Sect had immediately sealed off the mountain. Lu Yin believed that Elder Lianxin had definitely left with a group of disciples.
There was no need to stop them. Once he took control of the Sword Sect, those disciples would have to return even if they didn't want to. Otherwise, no matter how vast the universe was, there would be no place for them to stay.
Li Zimo had not contacted Lu Yin. As Elder Lianxin's disciple, he must have been taken away as well.
If Liu Qianjue found out about this, Lu Yin wondered what kind of expression he would have. He had clearly wanted to hide a group of disciples, but there had been people from the Great Eastern Alliance among them.
He would probably be angered to death.
"Senior Jiu Shen, are you there?" Lu Yin raised his head and shouted.
No one answered.
Lu Yin shouted once more.
"What's the matter?" Elder Jiu Shen's impatient voice rang out.
Lu Yin smiled politely. "Guru Qing Hua didn't appear, right?"
Elder Jiu Shen snorted. "If you're so afraid of him, why did you still recruit him?"
"I'm not afraid. With Senior Jiu Shen here, how could I be afraid of an outsider?" Lu Yin hurriedly replied.
Elder Jiu Shen did not speak, as he could not be bothered with Lu Yin's nonsense. He was a powerful powerhouse, but he had been reduced to a bodyguard. This was especially so since the Sirius Sect's supreme treasure had been stepped on by this brat.
Lu Yin was currently on a barren planet not too far from the Ross Empire's stronghold. Aside from himself, there were only the hidden Elder Jiu Shen and the Blue Heroes.
Liu Yefei and the Flying Willow Flowers were not present, as their presence made no difference to Guru Qing Hua's Celestial Imprint. Lu Yin had been afraid that they would be casually killed by Guru Qing Hua, which would leave him without a bodyguard.
Of course, the two of them also relaxed.
"Master is coming. Did you hear that, Fatty?
He's coming! We're saved! "the skinny one said.
The fatty replied, "Calm down, Brother Thin. That wretched Lu Yin is despicable, and he'll definitely plot against Master."
"That's right, Fatty. We have to calm down. How about we plot against him later and help Master? He'll definitely be proud of us and reward us when we get back."
"He'll definitely reward us. What do you think he'll reward us with?"
"He'll drink?
His gourd? "
"No, I want …"
…
Lu Yin was speechless as he watched the Qing Hua Duo discuss the reward. He pursed his lips, as they truly deserved to be called the Qing Hua Duo by Xu San. They had almost died without even realizing it.
Madam Red's goal had not been to lure Guru Qing Hua out, but rather to use him to severely injure him or even eliminate him. She wanted to prevent the Secret Progenitor Realm from controlling the Daosource Sect. The only reason that could cause Guru Qing Hua to start a war with the person behind Lu Yin was because of the Qing Hua Duo.
When Lu Yin had captured these two, their bodies had already been poisoned. Fortunately, Lu Yin had thought things through and managed to neutralize the poison in time. Otherwise, once Guru Qing Hua had arrived, these two would have died, and Lu Yin would have been in trouble as well. A battle would have been unavoidable.
To think that they had been so careless.
"Fatty Bro, you'll definitely get fatter after we get that reward."
"Brother Thin, you'll get skinnier as well. We definitely won't abandon you."
"I won't give up."
"Fatty Bro, it's so good to have you around."
"Brother Thin."
"Shut up!" Lu Yin barked, startling the two, and they quickly shut up.
The conversation between these two idiots was giving him a headache.
Several hours passed, and more than ten satellites could be seen orbiting on this desolate planet. As the satellites connected, it was time for Lu Yin to meet Guru Qing Hua.
Lu Yin raised his head and looked into the distance. Boundless and terrifying rune lines swept towards him, bringing with them an extreme pressure. This pressure made him feel as if he was facing a Half-Ancestor's attack. He had experienced the same feeling of despair back in the Cosmic Tree Realm.
He was not sure if the Sixth Mainland's All-Heaven Imprint could resist a Half-Ancestor, as it should be slightly weaker. However, the Sixth Mainland had a suppressive effect on the Fifth Mainland's cultivators, and with the imprint and the Three Progenitor Region's methods, Lu Yin was uncertain. As for Elder Jiu Shen, he had yet to reach the Half-Ancestor level, so his chances of defeating Guru Qing Hua were too low. However, he should have no problem protecting Lu Yin.
Suddenly, the rune lines rapidly shrank until they finally disappeared. Then, countless stars appeared, and Elder Jiu Shen walked out and stood beside Lu Yin with a solemn expression.
A hundred meters in front of him, a sloppy old man in a long green robe walked out with a wooden stick. There was a gourd tied to the stick, and when he appeared in front of Lu Yin, he picked up the gourd and drank from it. He burped and swayed a few times, looking as if he would collapse at any moment.
"Old man, you're here. Fatty Bro, look, the old man is here."
"Shh, call me Master."
"Master, you're here."
Guru Qing Hua burped again and looked at the Qing Hua Duo before shaking his head helplessly. He then looked at Lu Yin, "You're a pervert, right?"
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, "I'm Lu Yin."
Guru Qing Hua sneered and looked at Elder Jiu Shen, "Do you think you can protect him?
Do you think you can stop me? "
Elder Jiu Shen was apprehensive, but he quickly replied, "You'll know once you try."
Guru Qing Hua pursed his lips, "Not bad, inviting such an expert." He then took a sip from the gourd, "Tell me, why did you ask me to come?
Are you really here to deal with the Sword Sect? "
Lu Yin calmly replied, "I've already cured the poison in the Qing Hua Duo's bodies. Otherwise, the moment you appeared would have been the moment they died."
Guru Qing Hua put down the gourd, and his eyes flashed coldly, "Who?"
