Lu Yin's eyes lit up when he heard Shaohuang Qing's words.
Compensation?
"Pick anything?"
Lu Yin asked.
Shaohuang Qing nodded. "That's right. Regardless of whether it's the treasury or my personal collection, as long as Alliance Leader Lu likes it, you can take it as compensation. Although the Divine Gu Dynasty rarely interacts with the outside world, we are not inhospitable. If news of what happened today spreads, it will be a loss of face for the Divine Gu Dynasty.
Little Mountain God gritted his teeth and stared at Shaohuang Qing. What was this guy trying to do?
Was he going to deal with Lu Yin or not?
Wen Yao and the others couldn't see through Shaohuang Qing, but no matter how he dealt with Lu Yin, it had nothing to do with the Wen family.
"Since Your Majesty is so generous, I won't be polite." Lu Yin was in a good mood. Who wouldn't like something that was free? He wanted to see if he could find anything useful.
Shaohuang Qing immediately ordered someone to bring Lu Yin to the treasury. He wanted to take care of the others, but Lu Yin refused. "I want him to take me." Lu Yin was referring to Yi.
Shaohuang Qing's eyes flashed. "Alliance Leader Lu, this kind of person will be punished severely. There's no need to trouble you."
Lu Yin laughed. "Don't worry, I'm not going to deal with him. I'm just leading the way. Your Majesty, rest assured that I won't do anything to him. He's not worth breaking my promise."
Shaohuang Qing glanced at Yi, who was still screaming, and nodded. "Alright." He then looked at the man sternly. "Take Alliance Leader Lu to the treasury. If you value anything, you can take it."
Yi's skin had been torn apart by his own scratches, and he looked extremely miserable. His eyes were filled with fear, and his arms and body were covered in blood. "Yes, Your Majesty. This servant understands."
At that moment, Chang Wu woke up, and the first person he saw was Lu Yin. He thought that he was dreaming and gritted his teeth. "It's all your fault! I was tortured because of you! I'm already dead, but you still won't let me go! It's all because of you!"
Everyone looked at him sympathetically. This guy was really unlucky, and he had been completely implicated.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "You're not dead. Take a good look at where you are."
Chang Wu was stunned and quickly looked around. He saw Shaohuang Qing sitting nearby, who had the highest status. He then saw the miserable Yi, and everyone else around him... Eh?
What about the injuries?
What happened to his injuries?
His injuries were quickly healed by Lu Yin's upgraded pills, and even he himself couldn't believe it.
"Men, send him out. Don't make things difficult for him in the future," said Qing Shaohuang.
Chang Five stared blankly at Lu Yin, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Lu Yin nodded. "Go. No one will make things difficult for you in the future."
Chang Five was taken away in a daze. From the beginning to the end, he did not know what had happened. However, from then on, his fate changed. Whether it was good or bad, he did not know.
Some people were sure that his future would not be good, while others were sure that his future was bright.
Under the steward's guidance, Lu Yin left the banquet and headed for the treasury.
The treasury was located in a spatial tear in a corner of the palace, and it was guarded by several Enlighters. There were also countless unknown defensive measures, the most common of which was gu.
Lu Yin was looking forward to seeing what was in the Divine Gu Dynasty's treasury.
Yi Guan was trembling in front of him, he was no longer as arrogant and despotic as before, facing a person who could really kill him at any time, he was trembling as he walked.
"As you wish," Lu Yin suddenly spoke up.
Yi Guan's body trembled, and he slowly bowed. "Lu- Alliance Leader Lu."
Lu Yin looked at him with a deep gaze. "Does Qing Shaohuang know that you captured Chang Five?"
Yi Guan was shocked, and his face went pale. "His Majesty, of course His Majesty does not know."
Lu Yin looked at him for a while. "Is that so?"
The two continued towards the treasury, and before long, they had crossed almost half of the palace when an indescribably terrifying spiritual force swept out. It instantly swept through Gu King City, causing the sky to change color.
Qing Shaohuang suddenly stood up, and her expression changed. "Not good."
She was not the only one to sense this spiritual force, as everyone else felt it as well.
This spiritual force came from the Second Nightking.
As the spiritual force wreaked havoc, a resentful voice spread throughout Gu King City. "Brat, you didn't think that I would be waiting for you here, did you? I told you that I would capture you and bring you to the Daynight clan's ancestral land's stone tablet to torture you for ten thousand years." After that, an even more terrifying spiritual force exploded in the void and destroyed Gu King City's defenses.
On Gu King City's walls, the strange toads instantly exploded, and the poisonous gas that had been protecting the city turned into droplets that rained down.
This time, Qing Shaohuang's expression truly changed. If this poisonous rain fell on Gu King City, not many people would be able to survive. He cursed under his breath and immediately took action, reversing the poisonous rain above the city.
Grand Tutor Yuan and the rest were shocked, but they did not even have a chance to act.
"Second Nightking, aren't you afraid that the Head Inquisitor will find you?" Lu Yin's anxious voice traveled into everyone's ears. Following that, the palace building between Lu Yin's voice and the banquet was destroyed. Everyone was pushed aside by the strong wind, and they subconsciously looked over.
The Second Nightking raised a hand and pressed down on Lu Yin. "You don't have a chance." The void froze and then shattered, allowing everyone to see the Astral Source Universe. This was the might of the Second Nightking's spiritual force, and in the eyes of countless people, regardless of their cultivation, they were like ants.
Lu Yin's eyes went wide, and he raised his head to face the spiritual force head-on. He stepped forward like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, but he was also like a stubborn rock facing a storm.
This attack had been part of Qing Shaohuang's plan, but it had also been ordered by Lu Yin. He was the one who had sent the Second Nightking.
Gu King City's defenses had been easily destroyed by the Second Nightking's spiritual force, which was Lu Yin's goal. At the same time, he also wanted to see how much he could resist the Second Nightking.
With the pressure of the Second Nightking's spiritual force, Lu Yin began to recite the Primogenitor's Scripture. At that moment, the world around them changed. At that moment, whether it was Wen Sansi, Ling Gong, Grand Preceptor Yuan, Prince Ruan, or even Young Empress Qing and the Second Nightking, their spiritual force was unconsciously affected. It was as if they had heard a voice from ancient times.
Under the long river of time, from the beginning of humanity to the present day, everything had converged into a single voice. It was like a prayer or a chant that traveled into everyone's ears, forming the sound of heaven and earth.
The Second Nightking's pupils shrank, and he looked at Lu Yin in disbelief. He did not know where the voice was coming from, nor did he know who was affecting him, but he guessed that it was definitely Lu Yin. What had he done?
He had clearly increased the power of his spiritual force to the same level as when he had knocked Lu Yin unconscious in Hanxianzi's ruins, but it had been completely useless.
Young Qing's giant two-headed centipede soared out from his back, which was his gu. As the two-headed centipede charged out, its body grew infinitely larger and hovered above Gu King City, casting a shadow over the city. "Second Nightking, leave Gu King City."
The Second Nightking set aside his distracting thoughts. He did not care where the voice that was affecting him came from, as it did not pose a threat to him at the moment. "Young Qing, this has nothing to do with you." He then raised a finger and pointed out. The two-headed centipede wailed as one of its heads exploded. Immortal Guides the Way.
An intense chill descended and froze Gu King City. Young Qing was furious. He had given the Second Nightking a chance to kill Lu Yin, but he had also warned him not to affect Gu King City. However, the Second Nightking's two attacks had caused Gu King City to suffer heavy losses.
Many Enlighters within Gu King City tried to defend themselves against the chill, but they were all frozen as well.
Helpless, Young Qing tore open the void and allowed the chill to enter the Astral Source Universe.
Golden battle force appeared on Lu Yin's body. "Second Nightking, the head judge's cultivation is shocking, and he can appear at any time. Why aren't you leaving?"
The Second Nightking coldly replied, "I'll skin you alive today." Then, an even more terrifying spiritual force transformed into a sharp blade that slashed down. The Nightking Heaven-Splitting Technique had not been part of Lu Yin's calculations, as it had been a test by the Second Nightking. If he had wanted to, he could have used the Sealed Cage Technique to dispel it, but he did not. This attack did not have a power level of 700,000, and it only looked shocking. He wanted to use his own strength to resist it and see how far the Primogenitor's Scripture could push him.
The spiritual force blade slashed towards Lu Yin, slicing through space as it shot out from the Astral Source Universe. Lu Yin raised his arms and unleashed a series of empty palms, but they were all reduced to nothingness by the spiritual force blade. He had underestimated the Second Nightking. Even though he was an Enlighter and could fight against an Emissary, the Second Nightking was not an ordinary battle technique. The Nightking Heaven-Splitting Technique was a battle technique that could silence an entire era.
All of Lu Yin's techniques were useless against the Second Nightking's Nightking Heaven-Splitting Technique. In the end, the spiritual force blade swept past.
Everyone stared blankly. Was Lu Yin dead?
Shaohuang Qing, Little Mountain God, and the rest were all excited, hoping that Lu Yin would die.
Yuan Miaomiao was so nervous that her fingers had turned white.
Yuehua Mavis' expression turned grave. That was an attack from the Second Nightking, an ancient powerhouse.
Mister You gritted his teeth and watched on excitedly. Die, it'd be best if he died.
But in the end, Lu Yin slowly raised his head and looked directly at the Second Nightking. "You were too heavily injured before, so you can't kill me." He then took out a blood-red bell, which was the head inquisitor's token, and gently shook it.
Ding ding ding!
Everyone felt as if a giant hand had replaced everything they had seen, and it crushed down on them. It was the head inquisitor's strength.
Pfft!
The Second Nightking's eyes flickered, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood. His hair was disheveled, and his face was deathly pale. There was blood at the corner of his mouth. "The head inquisitor's token! What are you waiting for, Shaohuang Qing?
Let's kill Lu Yin together, and no one will know that you did it. "
Lu Yin suddenly turned around and glared at Shaohuang Qing, his eyes cold.
Shaohuang Qing was shocked and furious. "What nonsense are you spouting, Second Nightking?"
The Second Nightking growled, "Kill him and say that I killed him. No one will trace it back to you. That's what we agreed on before. As long as the result doesn't change, we'll kill everyone else."
The others were shocked, and they all looked at Shaohuang Qing warily.
Shaohuang Qing gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. "Nonsense, Second Nightking!"
Lu Yin raised the blood-red bell again.
The Second Nightking couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood, and his eyes were bloodshot. "Shaohuang Qing, if you don't kill him now, you'll regret it." He then tore through the void and disappeared.
Lu Yin ignored the Second Nightking's departure and instead stared at Shaohuang Qing, his eyes filled with vigilance and killing intent.
