Lü Yan sprawled on the ground and coughed up blood again. "I- I didn't betray you. I just wanted to heal Little Tea."
Green Tea exited the Specter Race's silver pupils and returned to normal, but she was still bound by the death energy. Her face was pale as she looked at Lu Yin helplessly. "My father brought me to the Neohuman Alliance to save me, but he didn't do anything. After I was successfully modified, he turned himself in to the Head Inquisitor. That's why the Head Inquisitor was willing to imprison my father in Kun Ze. Otherwise, anyone who betrays humanity and joins the Neohuman Alliance will only face death. You can ask the Head Inquisitor."
There was no need to ask; anyone who joined the Neohuman Alliance would face certain death, and Lü Yan was no exception. As a former Judge of the Interstellar Arbitration, he would definitely die if he joined the Neohuman Alliance. However, the Head Inquisitor had allowed him to live and imprison him in Kun Ze, which meant that he hadn't done anything wrong. His record clearly stated that he had turned himself in.
Since he had turned himself in, why had he escaped from prison?
Lu Yin no longer paid attention to the father and daughter. Instead, he looked at Liu Huang and approached him.
Liu Huang bitterly replied, "I lost in the end."
"You said that the Hall of Honor has an unimaginable darkness. What are you referring to?" Lu Yin asked.
Liu Huang calmly looked at him. "Are you sure you want to know?
Once you do, you won't be able to turn back. "
Lu Yin smiled. "Liu Huang, right?"
Liu Huang's pupils shrank, and he stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. "You know?"
Lu Yin sighed. "You're the most talented cultivator in the history of the Sword Sect, and you're also the only genius in the history of the Sword Sect to create the Fourteenth Sword. No, more accurately speaking, you're the first genius to create the Fourteenth Sword. After you, there was another person called Liu Guai, and he created the Thirteen Swords."
Liu Huang was shocked. "How do you know me?
The Prison Overlords couldn't have told you. "
Lu Yin calmly replied, "I know everything about you. I know what you've been through and what you've cared about. I even know about the Fourteenth Sword."
Liu Huang frowned. "The Fourteenth Sword?"
Lu Yin raised a hand, and his star energy transformed into a sword. He looked at the Second Nightking. "The Fourteenth Sword, Misery."
The moment Lu Yin unleashed the Fourteenth Sword, Liu Huang could tell that it was indeed the Fourteenth Sword.
The Second Nightking was struck by the Fourteenth Sword. His body swayed slightly, but he was not injured. However, that strange attack had indeed struck him, and the bitterness of life made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
He looked at Lu Yin with a shocked expression. Lu Yin had not used any strength in this attack, and he had only used the Fourteenth Sword's intent realm. He had done this to prove to Emperor Liu that he knew the Fourteenth Sword, not to deal with the Second Nightking.
Even so, the Second Nightking was still shaken by the Fourteenth Sword's sword intent. If Lu Yin's strength was on par with his, then the Fourteenth Sword would have been enough to finish him off. In that moment, the Second Nightking's fear of Lu Yin rose to another level.
Why did it seem like this kid knew everything? He had been praised by the Daynight clan's Daynight Salute, and now, he had even used the Sword Sect's unprecedented Fourteenth Sword. He had also heard about the Grim Reaper's inheritance, and although he did not believe it, it was true that this kid could control the aura of death. The universe had actually given birth to such a person.
"Why do you know the fourteenth sword?"
Liu Huang was in disbelief, but at the same time, he also understood why Lu Yin had ignored the Fourteenth Sword.
Lu Yin ignored him and tossed him a gadget so that he could know what was happening in the universe. He did not have the energy to explain everything.
Finally, Lu Yin looked at Ruins.
Ruins lay on the ground, watching Lu Yin easily control the fates of those people. There was a strange hint of excitement in his eyes, but there was no resentment.
Lu Yin walked over and squatted down to look at Ruins.
Ruins lowered his head. "Kill me if you want."
Lu Yin asked, "Why don't you dare to look at me?"
Ruins sneered. "What? You want to show off in front of a loser? You have such a bad taste."
Lu Yin grabbed Ruins by the neck and forcefully twisted his eyes to look at Ruins.
The eyes were the window to the soul, and Lu Yin could not see any resentment or unwillingness in Ruins' eyes. He could not see any of the expressions in Lu Yan's and Liu Huang's eyes.
Ruins frowned, and his gaze turned cold. "Kid, what are you trying to do?"
Lu Yin loosened his grip. He was very sure that this person was Undying Yushan, but he quickly hid that familiar gaze. This body might just be an empty shell. Liuying Zishan had been controlled by the spiritual essence sphere, and this person had also used it to control the wardens. In that case, Undying Yushan himself might have been controlled by the spiritual essence sphere as well.
This was one of Undying Yushan's methods.
Undying Yushan had always been a Hunter, and his most glorious achievement had been entering the top ten of the Top 100 Rankings when he was young. However, he had been severely injured and had never recovered.
What did it mean to be in the top ten of the Top 100 Rankings?
There had been no Ten Arbiters back then, and the top ten of the Top 100 Rankings were comparable to the Universe Youth Council members. If Undying Yushan was still hiding something, then he had definitely reached the peak of the Fifth Mainland when he was young.
What realm would Wen Sansi, Liu Tianmu, and the others be at if they had cultivated for a few hundred years?
How could Undying Yushan remain a Hunter?
Lu Yin had cultivated for less than twenty years, but he had already reached his current level of strength. Although he had relied more on his innate gift and luck, he had never believed that he was the only genius in the universe. He was more willing to believe that Undying Yushan was also a genius like him, one who was even more patient and scheming than Lu Yin.
Lu Yin could not guess what realm Undying Yushan had reached after hundreds or even thousands of years. If Lu Yin was given another hundred years, he would definitely be able to break through to become an Emissary, but what about Undying Yushan?
Cripple had been imprisoned in Kun's Swamp for hundreds of years, and before he had been imprisoned, he had already been an Emissary. Undying Yushan had also cultivated for at least one or two hundred years, so it was not impossible for him to break through and control Cripple.
What exactly was Undying Yushan planning?
Lu Yin's gaze landed on Cripple. No matter what Undying Yushan's goal was, this person could not be left alive. It did not matter where he was imprisoned; that spiritual essence ball was everywhere.
As he thought about it, he struck out with his palm. Cripple's eyes widened, and the spiritual essence ball whizzed out and smashed into Lu Yin.
The Second Nightking saw it, but he did not make a move, allowing Cripple's spiritual essence ball to strike Lu Yin.
Strangely, the spiritual essence ball's power was very weak. Lu Yin's palm strike had shaken Cripple to death, and Cripple's spiritual essence ball merged into his body, which Lu Yin subconsciously absorbed.
The remaining spiritual essence was enormous, and Lu Yin sat down cross-legged and recited the Stonewall Scriptures, forcibly absorbing it.
Liu Yefei immediately surrounded Lu Yin and watched in amazement.
"You can absorb someone else's spiritual essence?" Liu Yefei was confused.
Mr. Liu Yefei answered, "It's possible. The universe is huge, and anything can happen. That person also used spiritual essence to control the jailers."
The Second Nightking stared at Lu Yin and wanted to make a move, but under Liu Yefei's protection, he was powerless.
Liu Huang, Lü Yan, and the rest could only wait for Lu Yin to absorb the spiritual essence since he was the one in control.
Fortunately, there was not much spiritual essence left, and Lu Yin finished absorbing it in less than two incense sticks' worth of time. The Hell Master, the prisoners, and the jailers did not wake up.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and felt his spiritual essence, which had become much more majestic.
During the Sovereign Tournament, his spiritual essence had only been able to withstand Yao Xuan's spiritual essence attacks with the Origin Opening Array, which had been rather difficult. After returning from the Astral Tree Domain, his spiritual essence had become much stronger, but it could only withstand spiritual essence battle techniques that were close to the level of an Emissary. Now, he should be able to withstand an Emissary's spiritual essence attack, and with the Origin Opening Array, he should be able to struggle for a bit even if the Second Nightking's spiritual essence swept over him.
Of course, this was only the Second Nightking's casual spiritual essence attack. After all, the difference between them was too great.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed as he looked at the corpse. This person's final attack seemed useless, but it had actually paved the way for Undying Yushan. If Lu Yin's guess was correct, he also had that spiritual essence ball in his body that could be controlled.
Could Undying Yushan control him?
Lu Yin did not know. He had the Stonewall Scriptures, and he did not know if he could withstand it. This person's final attack had dragged him into the abyss.
Wait, that's not right. If that really was the case, then Lu Yin would have already absorbed the spiritual essence ball from Liuying Zishan's body.
Lu Yin felt bitter. If that was really the case, then Undying Yushan had made his move too early, to the point where Lu Yin would not have been able to resist.
But if Undying Yushan really had such terrifying strength, then why had he remained in the Great Yu Empire?
Why had he hidden himself?
Why had he feigned death?
Why had he cooperated with the Neohuman Alliance?
The Yu family was being hunted down by the Neohuman Alliance.
Lu Yin had too many questions to ask Undying Yushan, but he could not reveal them to Ruin. Otherwise, he would alert the enemy.
In the distance, a curled tail poked out from the swamp, followed by a pig's head.
Lord Pig carefully poked his head out and saw the Second Nightking's cold gaze sweep over him. His ears perked up, and his hair stood on end as he dove back into the swamp.
Lu Yin stood up and rubbed his head. "Bring Shui Chuanxiao here."
Mr. Liu Ye left.
Lu Yin looked at Liu Huang. "Understood?"
Liu Huang put down his gadget and looked at Lu Yin in shock. "Great Eastern Alliance, Alliance Leader."
"I can take you out, but you have to get the Sword Sect to join the Great Eastern Alliance. Otherwise, the Fourteenth Sword will never be passed down to the Sword Sect, and you will die of old age on Kun Ze," Lu Yin said. He did not beat around the bush, as this was Liu Huang's only use.
With Liu Huang's strength, once he recovered to his peak, he would definitely reign supreme over the Innerverse. However, he would not be a match for the Second Nightking. Regardless of whether it was his realm or the amount of time he had spent cultivating, he was far inferior to the Second Nightking. Lu Yin was not worried about him.
Liu Huang looked at his gadget with a complicated expression and fell silent.
"The Hell Overlord will awaken soon. If you don't give me an answer before then, you will die of old age on Kun Ze," Lu Yin said. He then looked into the distance and moved his finger. The death aura that had bound Green Tea floated into the void and then spread into the swamp. It pulled Lord Pig out and tied him up like a pig being slaughtered.
Lord Pig howled, "Alliance Leader Lu, Lord Lu, I'm Little Pig! I'm your loyal Little Pig! I won't say anything! Please don't kill me!"
