Lu Yin smiled. "Family Head Autumnfrost, it's my first time meeting you. I've heard a lot about you."
Qiu Hanchen did not hesitate to imprint, and his bloodline was stimulated. His body expanded as he tried to attack, but as the sword qi swept past him, Qiu Hanchen felt a bone-piercing pain in his legs. He lowered his head, and his pupils shrank as he realized that his legs were gone. An elder appeared in front of him, holding a starsource sword and looking at him coldly.
An absolute expert. That was Qiu Hanchen's only thought.
His body fell to the ground, and blood flowed everywhere. Qiu Hanchen could not help but tremble as he stared at Lu Yin. "What do you want, Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin sat down. "Your Autumnfrost family wants to go to Frostwave Weave to threaten me, and you're asking me what I want?"
Qiu Hanchen's expression changed. How did he know?
No matter how fast Nan Qi and the others were, they could not have reached Frostwave Weave by now. Lu Yin should not have known, but now was not the time to think about this. "Where's Qing 'er?"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and his spiritual force whizzed out.
As expected, Qiu Hanchen sank into the illusion. With Lu Yin's current spiritual force cultivation, only an Emissary with a power level of 600,000 or above could withstand it. Qiu Hanchen, who was an Imprinter with a power level of 500,000, would be able to withstand the illusion. Furthermore, the Qiu Hanchen family did not specialize in spiritual force cultivation.
Qiu Hanchen could not hide any secrets while trapped in the illusion. Not only did he reveal the location of all of the Autumnfrost family's resources, but he also revealed the family's battle techniques and the origin of their bloodline.
Lu Yin was not interested in the Autumnfrost family's battle techniques and bloodline. He was more interested in the family's resources and Patriarch Autumnfrost's situation.
Unfortunately, Qiu Hanchen did not know much about Patriarch Autumnfrost and only knew that he was an ancestor. He did not know that the real Patriarch Autumnfrost was already dead.
With Qiu Hanchen's death, the Autumnfrost family's purest bloodline had also disappeared.
No one knew that Qiu Hanchen was dead, and Lu Yin's group of three had come and gone without a trace. No one had been able to detect them.
Before leaving the Autumnfrost family, Lu Yin had taken all of the resources that he could take.
What surprised him was that the Autumnfrost family actually had a lot of resources. He did not know how they had obtained them, but they actually had 600 million star essence.
Compared to the Autumnfrost family, which had a World Imprinter and several Envoys, 600 million star essence was not a lot, and it was not even as much as the Sylvan Dragon Clan. However, that was only for the Autumnfrost family in the Sixth Mainland. The Everlasting invasion had destroyed the Sixth Mainland, and the Autumnfrost family had lost most of their resources.
Aside from the star essence, there were also many other materials, as well as the Skypillar Overlord's bloodline. If this bloodline was sold, it would be worth quite a bit.
Lu Yin took them all and headed in another direction. That was where the Autumnfrost family's equipment was being manufactured.
Qiu Hanchen did not understand that instrument and was only following Patriarch Qiu Hanchen's instructions.
Lu Yin was not surprised, as the real Elder Autumnfrost had already died, and this instrument had been created by the imposter. How could Autumnfrost possibly know anything about it?
The location of the instrument was not far from Autumn Han's house.
The three of them quickly arrived.
Lu Yin was shocked as he looked at the endless stretch of metal that was connected to planets. He could not imagine what an instrument that could traverse galaxies was used for.
These metals were very common, and they were not even qualified to be sent to a city. What use could such materials be?
Lu Yin did not even need to exert any strength to crush them. However, the manufacturing process was quite meticulous, and it was no wonder why Big Pao and Little Pao had taken three years to learn how to make them.
Through the Heavens
Lu Yin was able to make out the shape of the entire instrument as it traveled through the galaxies.
The instrument looked like a pot, and there was a huge metal panel in the middle that was connected to all four sides.
Countless people were working on it.
Although Autumnfrost Chen did not know what this instrument was used for, he knew that the Autumnfrost family had used all of their manpower and resources to construct it. Even the Imprinter had contributed.
Lu Yin did not know what this pot-shaped instrument was used for, so he decided to destroy it. The Autumnfrost family was an enemy, and so was the imposter. Lu Yin would never show mercy to his enemies, and if his enemies wanted something, he would either steal it or destroy it. There was no third option.
"Let's do it," Lu Yin said.
Liu Huang raised a hand, and sword qi swept out, tearing through the galaxy and distorting it. The metal instrument was instantly shattered.
At the center of the instrument was a black crystal that was as large as a planet. Just as Big Pao had said, it was much harder than metal, but it was still shattered by Liu Huang's attack.
Lu Yin picked up the fragments of the black crystal, but he could not tell what they were used for, so he casually put one away.
Just as he was about to leave, a strange color entered his eyes.
Lu Yin looked over and saw that there was a bubble in the center of the shattered black crystal. There were traces of red liquid within the bubble that was only the size of a finger.
The bubble looked like it would shatter with a single touch.
Lu Yin hurriedly told Liu Huang to stop and walked over to the bubble.
The Second Nightking and Liu Huang looked on curiously.
"Can you tell what it is?" Lu Yin asked.
The two looked at it for a long time, but eventually said, "Nope."
Lu Yin could not tell either, as there were no rune lines within the bubble. Perhaps it had been blocked by the bubble. He raised a hand, intending to crush the bubble.
Just as his finger was about to touch the bubble, he paused, thought about it, and then stored it in his cosmic ring. "Let's go."
The Second Nightking and Liu Huang did not ask any questions, as they were not that curious about the bubble. Only Lu Yin knew that Patriarch Autumnfrost was an impostor, and he knew that the impostor's real reason for pretending to be Patriarch Autumnfrost definitely had something to do with the instrument.
Lu Yin wanted to see Patriarch Autumnfrost's reaction to determine the importance of the liquid within the bubble.
If it was important and disappeared because of the bubble, then Lu Yin would feel that it was a pity.
From start to finish, no one knew that the three of them had come to the Autumnfrost family, killed the family head, destroyed the instrument, and stolen the bubble.
When Patriarch Autumnfrost, who was far away in Ironblood Weave, heard that the instrument had been destroyed, he was shocked. He immediately abandoned the Sixth Mainland's cultivators and returned to the Autumnfrost family.
How could the astral python from the Celestial Beast Empire allow Patriarch Autumnfrost to leave? Its huge body swept over, but Patriarch Autumnfrost ignored it and rushed out of Ironblood Weave.
"If you dare leave, I'll slaughter everyone here!" the astral python roared.
However, Patriarch Autumnfrost acted as if he did not hear it, and he left without hesitation.
The remaining cultivators from the Sixth Mainland looked up as the astral python pressed down on them, causing them to howl in despair.
…
At the border of the Great Eastern Alliance, Sword Vassal Master was reading a message on his gadget and roaring furiously.
The message came from Ironblood Weave. Following Patriarch Autumnfrost's sudden departure, the Sixth Mainland's cultivators had suffered heavy losses, and they had been slaughtered by the Astral Beast Domain.
The Astral Beast Domain had directly attacked Ironblood Weave and invaded the Outerverse.
Although most of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators had come from the Autumnfrost family, there were also people from Yun Gu and other families among them.
More importantly, once the Astral Beast Domain invaded the Outerverse, he would be the first to be blamed.
Sword Vassal Master immediately contacted Patriarch Autumnfrost, but the latter did not pick up.
"Brother Nong, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip to the Autumnfrost family and capture Qiuhanfeng," Sword Vassal Master said angrily.
Qiuhanfeng was Patriarch Autumnfrost's name.
Old Nong did not understand. "What's wrong with Qiuhanfeng?"
Sword Vassal Master gritted his teeth. "He abandoned the battlefield and left without permission, causing Ironblood Weave to be occupied by the Astral Beast Domain. At the same time, the Astral Beast Domain invaded the Outerverse."
Old Nong was shocked. "Has Qiuhanfeng gone mad?"
Sword Vassal Master looked at Old Nong and said, "Qiuhanfeng must pay the price for this. Our Sixth Mainland took over the Outerverse, and the Astral Beast Domain invaded. This is a humiliation to us, and we will be laughed at for tens of thousands of years. I'll immediately rush over to Ironblood Weave, and Eyeless will stand guard there. Brother Nong, I'll leave Qiuhanfeng to you.
Old Nong was helpless, as he did not want to do such a thing, but things had already gotten to this point. "Alright, I'll go to the Autumnfrost family."
Sword Vassal Master led a group of Sixth Mainland's cultivators towards Ironblood Weave while Old Nong headed to the Autumnfrost family alone. Only Eyeless and the corpse keeper remained behind.
News of the battle in Ironblood Weave not only reached the Sixth Mainland, but it also reached the Great Eastern Alliance.
Master Yuan's face was solemn, as the Astral Beast Domain had actually managed to force the Sixth Mainland out and occupy Ironblood Weave. The Celestial Beast Empire would not give up so easily, and they would definitely send some experts.
Although he had given up on Ironblood Weave because of his strategy, he still felt a little upset when he saw that Ironblood Weave had truly fallen into the Astral Beast Domain's hands.
Lu Yin's strategy had not been to give up on Ironblood Weave, but rather to have the Sixth Mainland and the Astral Beast Domain wage war there. From what he knew, the Sixth Mainland's strength far surpassed the Astral Beast Domain's, and it was impossible for the Astral Beast Domain to completely occupy Ironblood Weave.
However, he could never have imagined that one of his unconscious actions would lead to the complete defeat of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators in Ironblood Weave.
Lu Yin brought the Second Nightking and Liu Huang to Aegis' planet. Because Aegis had left, there was no one else on the planet besides a few Sixth Mainland's cultivators.
These Sixth Mainland's cultivators were probably independent cultivators who had not been able to find a better place to cultivate, so they could only stay here.
It should be known that the only reason Aegis had been able to establish itself on this planet was because of the folded space within the Mystic Sect. However, these Sixth Mainland's cultivators did not know anything about the Mystic Sect, and they had simply stayed on this planet because they had nowhere else to go.
Lu Yin did not disturb them and instead directly entered the planet's core. He had the Second Nightking and Liu Huang stand guard while he entered the Mystic Sect.
The Second Nightking and Liu Huang were both astonished, as they had never imagined that there would be a folded space here. They were both curious as to what Lu Yin was doing inside.
After entering the Mystic Sect once more, Lu Yin looked up and saw that the black sun was still hanging high in the sky, and no one could approach it.
Lu Yin leaped up and charged towards the black sun. When he could no longer approach it, the Fatesand in his chest shifted. In an instant, his body trembled as the black sun grew slightly larger. He was approaching it, and at the same time, the black sun released a deathly aura that stretched across the sky and gradually connected with Lu Yin.
The deathly aura frantically surged into Lu Yin's body.
