The Second Nightking was very strong, but his finger quickly dissipated. On the scale, he could not do anything. Be it spiritual force, battle techniques, or battle force, he could not do anything.
Countless people gulped. They had just experienced the Second Nightking's invincible might, but now, he was as powerless as a child. That was how powerless he was in front of the head inquisitor.
Even Lu Yin was shocked, which further confirmed his suspicions. The difference between the head judge and Elder Jiushen, who were at the same level as him, was huge. It was so huge that Mister Mu had acknowledged Lu Yin as his disciple. It was so huge that these people were doubting their own lives.
Puff
The Second Nightking spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on one knee. Astralsource visible to the naked eye began to evaporate from the surface of his body, which then attracted the attention of the Astralsource Universe and was forcibly extracted.
This was the first time that Lu Yin had seen someone's astral source being forcefully extracted by the Astral Source Universe. No, he had seen it happen to people who had failed to face their tribulations, but this was the first time that someone's astral source had been forcefully extracted in battle.
The Daynight clan members despaired, while Nightking Yuanjing's face was ashen. Why had things turned out this way? Why was the head arbiter helping Lu Yin?
Why?
Was the Daynight clan's hope to rise up gone just like that?
Many of the Daynight clan members watched in despair as they silently cried out.
The astral source within the Second Nightking's body was forcefully extracted, and Lu Yin watched as the number of rune lines rapidly decreased. By the time the astral source within the Second Nightking's body had been completely extracted, the number of rune lines in the Second Nightking's body was only close to 700,000, which was not weak at all. However, compared to his previous power level of over a million, this was a significant decrease.
The Second Nightking was panting heavily, and he looked much older than before. He lay sprawled on the scales like a stray dog.
"The trial is over. The verdict is that Kun Ze will be imprisoned for a hundred thousand years," the head judge said. His voice was cold and emotionless, cutting into the Second Nightking's heart like a sharp blade.
His eyes were filled with despair. A hundred thousand years was not cultivation, but a sentence. A hundred thousand years was enough to wipe out an entire race. "I don't accept this, I don't accept this!"
No one dared to speak up for him. Under the pressure of the head inquisitor, no one had the right to speak. Even if the three head inquisitors were present, it was the same. No one dared to defy the head inquisitor's decision.
In the distance, Liu Yefei and Flower felt their scalps go numb. Even in the Starry Sky of the Trees, they had never seen such a powerhouse before. Only an inner world was capable of such a feat, and an inner world was the hallmark of a demi-ancestor. This head inquisitor did not even use his inner world, and it was truly an innate talent suppression that completely crushed the Second Nightking and Mister Feng.
It was truly inconceivable. Even in the Starry Sky of Trees, this person was definitely the strongest expert below the Half Martial Ancestor Realm.
This abandoned land actually gave birth to such a character.
Liu Qianjue, Shan Shen, Ling Qiu, and the others bowed respectfully, not daring to utter a word.
Everyone else saluted the head judge and waited for his next sentence — the trial.
"The ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect, an ancient sect, are treasures of the Human Domain. Anyone can explore them." With that, it was decided that the Frigid Immortal Sect would belong to the entire Human Domain.
Lu Yin opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
He wanted to retort, as the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect belonged to the Daynight clan, and he was the one who had conquered the Daynight clan. The ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect should belong to him, so why should it be given to someone else?
However, when he thought back to the scene of the head inquisitor's trial, Lu Yin felt that it would be better if he did not say anything. He could not stand being tipped by the scales. Although Lu Yin was a senior, he was also the head inquisitor. Lu Yin had not forgotten when he had asked the head inquisitor if the trial had been intentional. The head inquisitor had said that if Lu Yin had been successfully modified by the Neohuman Alliance, then the head inquisitor would not have hesitated to eliminate him.
In this senior brother's eyes, the trial was definitely more important than the relationship between fellow disciples.
Merely to say
That, the head inquisitor disappeared, most likely heading to the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect.
Not long after the head inquisitor disappeared, the rest of the group entered the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect one after another.
Now that the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect had been restored, and they had obtained the head inquisitor's permission, they naturally wanted to go in and search for opportunities.
Now that everyone knew what a remnant of spiritual force was, it would be difficult for anything to go wrong.
Lu Yin ordered for all of the Daynight clan members to be imprisoned and brought to the Blazing Mist Flowzone.
The Second Nightking should have been suppressed in the void by the head inquisitor and would only be taken away when Lu Yin left. What awaited him was a sentence of 100,000 years, which was unbearable.
This fellow was unlucky, as he had not even had the chance to show off before being imprisoned. All he had done was exchange a few words with Mister Feng. He could only blame himself, as he had fully expressed his dissatisfaction with the various powers of the Neoverse, especially the Hall of Honor. It was already good enough that the head inquisitor had not sentenced him to death.
"You're lucky that you weren't sentenced," Lu Yin said calmly. He was speaking to Silver.
Silver rubbed his chest and stood up. "I'm just a small fry, so how could the head inquisitor notice me? Captain, if the head inquisitor finds out about you one day, what do you think will happen to you?
Death?
Or Kun Ze? "
Lu Yin looked at him. "I didn't do anything, and I've never betrayed humanity. Why would I be sentenced?"
Silver smiled. "Captain, you should think about how to explain Mister Feng's actions." He then waved his hand. "Remember to take a look, Captain. The Specter Clan will always support you." With that, he left.
Lu Yin's face sank. Mister Feng had protected him twice in order to obtain the Death God's inheritance, but would the head inquisitor believe him?
Liu Yefei found Lu Yin and returned the head inquisitor's token. They did not want to enter the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect again, as they had all been injured and needed to recuperate.
Lu Yin found Elder Jiu Shen and thanked him repeatedly for saving his life.
Elder Jiu Shen replied, "Don't thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank the Sirius Sect. Remember your oath: you will always be a disciple of the Sirius Sect."
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "This disciple understands."
Elder Jiu Shen nodded. His injuries had been too severe, and it would be difficult for him to recover without a hundred years of recuperation. It was all this brat's fault; the more he looked at Lu Yin, the more annoyed he felt.
Lu Yin stared at Elder Jiu Shen. Although this elder looked young and had saved Lu Yin's life, he was actually quite crafty. Before entering the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect, he had used a secret technique to mark a member of the Daynight clan. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape with Stellar Transposition.
Lu Yin also entered the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect. He had not forgotten the scene of Bai Shui jumping into the Frigid Immortal Pond.
That woman was a descendant of the Bai family, so she definitely knew something.
Lu Yin entered the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect again, but aside from the destruction of the mountains and the remnants of the battle, there were no other differences.
Lu Yin's attention was immediately drawn to the head inquisitor, who was standing outside of Execution Mountain. The sky was dark, and it was obvious that he was planning to enter.
Lu Yin hurriedly stopped him and transmitted his voice into the darkness, afraid that the head inquisitor would be struck by a Progenitor's power.
No matter how strong the head inquisitor was, he was just a slightly larger ant compared to a Progenitor. Even a half-Ancestor was an ant; this was the difference between their levels.
As Lu Yin transmitted his voice into the darkness, the sky suddenly cleared up and the darkness disappeared.
Everyone looked up and heaved a sigh of relief; the head inquisitor had left.
Lu Yin looked at Execution Mountain. He left?
He didn't even say goodbye. Wait, could he have entered Execution Mountain?
"You've been inside?"
A cold voice came from behind him, startling Lu Yin. He turned around and saw a ball of darkness, but it was not that big. It was just a humanoid figure.
"Senior, please make some noise before you speak next time." Lu Yin was speechless. He had been truly frightened, as the head inquisitor had not revealed his rune lines at all. It was not difficult for top experts like Elder Jiu Shen and Mister Feng to conceal their rune lines.
"You've entered Execution Mountain?" the head inquisitor asked.
Lu Yin nodded. "I've climbed it before. There were shockwaves from a battle between Progenitors, and I almost died. Fortunately, Elder Jiu Shen saved me. He was also heavily injured, or else he would not have lost to the Second Nightking."
The head inquisitor was always a ball of darkness, and it was impossible to tell where he was facing or where he was looking.
"Senior, can you not always be a ball of darkness?" Lu Yin probed.
"Call me Head Inquisitor," the head inquisitor replied.
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "Head Inquisitor, can you reveal your true appearance?
I'm your junior after all. You can't be like this when you see Master, right? "
"Yes," the head inquisitor replied.
Lu Yin was shocked. "You're like this when you see Master?"
The head inquisitor moved past Lu Yin and headed into the distance. "Did I not answer clearly enough?"
Lu Yin hurriedly chased after him. "Umm, Head Inquisitor, why are you here?
Weren't you in seclusion? "
"I came out."
"Then why are you here?"
"Do I need to explain to you?"
"Umm, Head Inquisitor, are you going to explore the ruins of the Frigid Immortal Sect?"
The head inquisitor suddenly stopped. "Sometimes, benefits need to be shared, not monopolized."
Lu Yin blinked. "I don't want to monopolize it."
"Where are you going?" the head inquisitor asked.
"The Frigid Immortal Pond."
"Together."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "You're interested in the Frigid Immortal Pond?
By the way, have you been to the Astral Tree before? "
The head inquisitor didn't answer and quietly headed in the direction of the Frigid Immortal Pond.
Lu Yin had no choice but to face the head inquisitor as if he was facing a wall. Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about his safety. Even if the remnant essence of the Frigid Immortal Sect was disturbed again, the head inquisitor would ensure his safety.
Moreover, the head inquisitor wouldn't fight with Lu Yin for anything good.
Lu Yin sped up towards the Frigid Immortal Pond. Otherwise, all the good stuff would be taken away by Bai Shui. That woman was smart enough to directly jump into the Frigid Immortal Pond if her remnant essence was disturbed.
Soon, the two arrived at the Frigid Immortal Pond.
Looking at the small pond, Lu Yin remembered that the Second Nightking was hiding below. He hadn't noticed him when he first arrived. No, he hadn't noticed him. Elder Jiushen should have noticed as well. This pond wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"Head Inquisitor, let's jump in," Lu Yin said.
The head inquisitor didn't move.
Lu Yin didn't hesitate and jumped in. The pond was icy cold.
With Bai Shui's ability, she should have been frozen the moment she entered. With that in mind, he headed towards the bottom of the pond.
The Frigid Immortal Pond had the ability to freeze astralsources, so it was impossible to tell how deep it was from the outside.
After diving for a while, Lu Yin remembered that he had wanted to dig the entire pond into Mount Supreme. If he had tried, he wouldn't have been able to do it.
