The Imprinter was still observing from the Astral Source Universe, waiting for an opportunity to attack. Who would have thought that Lu Yin would suddenly attack him? How had Lu Yin seen him?
And could his attack break into the Astral Source Universe?
There was no point in thinking too much about it. The Imprinter wanted to dodge, but Lu Yin's sword fell and he could not. The Thirteenth and Fourteenth Swords were unavoidable, and anyone within the attack range would be hit.
The void distorted, and the Imprinter staggered out. His footsteps were light, and his face was pale. He clutched at his heart and stared at Lu Yin. He then spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly squatted down. The pain that came from the bottom of his heart made him despair.
Pfft!
He spat out another mouthful of blood, and his clothes were stained with blood. His entire body trembled.
Lu Yin lowered his sword. "Did you see it clearly?"
Liu Tianmu was not surprised that Lu Yin had defeated the Imprinter in one strike. This Imprinter had sought stability, which was why he had hidden in the Astral Source Universe. He had not displayed his true strength, as he had underestimated Lu Yin. If he had used his full strength from the start, then he would not have been defeated in one strike.
"I keep having the feeling that this sword cannot be considered the true Fourteenth Sword. There are no fundamental changes," Liu Tianmu said.
Lu Yin tossed the sword to Liu Tianmu. He had the same feeling, as the Fourteenth Sword indeed surpassed the Thirteenth Sword, but it was still based on emotions. The Liu Emperor believed that he had created the Fourteenth Sword, but Lu Yin had long since felt that it was just an advanced version of the Thirteenth Sword, just like Liu Guai's unique Thirteenth Sword.
Not too far away, the Enlighter looked at Lu Yin in horror. He did not know what to do. Escape?
He could not escape. Attack?
He was not Lu Yin's opponent, and he gradually sank into despair.
Hui Santong broke free from the wood world's suppression and panted heavily. He looked at Fan Shun. "Again."
Fan Shun ignored him and instead looked at Lu Yin. He could truly understand what Liu Tianmu and the others were feeling. This guy was too terrifying, and he was no longer on the same level as them.
Zhu San helped Liu Tianmu up, and the cheap fish on Xi Qi's head continuously praised Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was considering how to deal with these people. Actually, it was best to just kill them all.
At that moment, the Imprinter coughed and stuttered, "Alliance Leader Lu, I, I want to buy my own life."
Lu Yin was surprised. "You're buying your own life?"
The Imprinter wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "I know what Alliance Leader Lu needs. I have quite a few things in my cosmic ring, enough to trade for my own life."
"After I kill you, I'll use your blood to open my cosmic ring, and the items inside will still be mine."
The Imprinter removed his cosmic ring. "Alliance Master Lu, you can try. I'll self-destruct the moment you attack. Although I'm not your match, given my strength, I should be able to evaporate every single drop of blood after I self-destruct. Alliance Master Lu, are you-" Just as he finished speaking, his body trembled as a palm imprint appeared on his chest. It was an empty palm, and even the Imprinter was unable to react to the invisible palm imprint.
Lu Yin's Emptiness Palm was enough to instantly kill a heavily injured Imprinter.
The Imprinter slowly fell to the ground.
He walked over, picked up the cosmic ring, and used his blood to open it. "I don't like being threatened."
Not too far away, the Enlighter was terrified and turned to flee. Liu Tianmu, who had recovered some of his strength, raised his sword and attacked.
Under normal circumstances, the Enlighter would not have been hit so easily. Even if it was the Thirteen Swords, he would still have the qualifications to receive and dodge. However, because of Lu Yin, the Enlighter was panicking and did not pay attention to Liu Tianmu.
Mu had been decapitated by Liu Tianmu.
As for the youth who had been heavily injured by Liu Tianmu's domain, he was already dead.
At this point, only Fan Shun was left on the Sixth Mainland.
Hui Santong looked at Lu Yin with a playful expression.
Fan Shun was calm. "Alliance Leader Lu, I also want to buy my own life."
Lu Yin took out the items from the Imprinter's cosmic ring, but when he heard Fan Shun's words, his eyes narrowed. "You want to threaten me as well?"
Fan Shun raised his head. "It's not a threat. It's a deal regarding the Azure Realm."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. The Azure Realm had been created by Guru Qing Hua. "You want to use Guru Qing Hua's secrets in exchange for your own life?"
Fan Shun replied, "That's right. I know that Alliance Leader Lu has interacted with Guru Qing Hua in the past. Actually, my Sixth Mainland isn't that different from your Fifth Mainland. You have the Astral Beast Domain, the Technocracy, and the Human Domain as your enemies, and so do the Three Progenitor Domains. Even the Secret Progenitor Domain, the Brahman Domain, the Eastern Domain, and the Stone Domain have fought each other before. The Brahman Domain was once the largest family in the Brahman Domain, and they had the Cosmic Imprint.
Lu Yin was tempted, as he still cared about one of the Sixth Mainland's Four Sovereigns, Guru Qing Hua. "Tell me. If I'm satisfied with the information, I can spare your life. You can trust my promise."
Fan Shun replied, "Alright, I trust you."
Not long after, Fan Shun left, and Lu Yin released him.
Hui Santong's heart itched, and he leaned over. "Brother Lu, what did Fan Shun tell you?
He actually told you to let him go. "
This place had attracted Liu Tianmu and the Sixth Mainland's Imprinter because of the opportunities that had appeared. Letting Fan Shun go would likely attract the Sixth Mainland's powerhouses, and Hui Santong did not believe that Lu Yin did not know about this. Even so, Lu Yin still wanted to let Fan Shun go. Clearly, the secret that Fan Shun had used to protect his own life was no small matter.
Lu Yin glanced at him. "It's none of your business."
Hui Santong did not give up, and his skin was thick. "My Hui family is famous for being smart. Brother Lu, perhaps you've been tricked. Tell me, and I'll help you. Actually, my family also has people in the Sixth Mainland who know a lot of information. I can make a deal."
"Sure, but tell me first." Lu Yin was solemn.
Hui Santong grinned. "Madam Red has disappeared. Do you know where she is?"
Lu Yin's brows twitched. "What does that have to do with me?"
Hui Santong was pleased. "Don't think that we don't know that there's some animosity between you and Madam Red. She once attacked the Sea King's Dome in the Starfall Sea and captured the Sea King before capturing the giant bloodline. Brother Lu, don't you care about her whereabouts?"
"Alright, I care about her. Where is she?" Lu Yin asked.
Hui Santong leaned over with a shrewd look in his eyes. "Tell me what Fan Shun told you first."
"Tell me about Madam Hong's whereabouts first," Lu Yin said calmly.
Hui Santong was certain that Lu Yin cared more about Madam Red. Lu Yin's current appearance was just an act. Trying to trick him?
Dream on. "Tell me first."
"Then forget it." Lu Yin was very straightforward, to the point that Hui Santong began to doubt himself.
He stared blankly at Lu Yin as he checked the resources in the Imprinter's cosmic ring. Did this guy really not care?
That was impossible, as his analysis had been absolutely correct. This guy had a huge conflict with Madam Red, but there should be some other relationship between them. How could he not care about Madam Red's whereabouts?
That shouldn't be the case. This was definitely an act.
"Brother Lu, Madam Red.
Her current situation is not ordinary, and only my Hui family knows where she is. Do you really not want to know?
I'll only ask once. "Hui Santong wanted to keep Lu Yin in suspense.
Lu Yin was currently in a pretty good mood. This dead Imprinter had left him 120 million star essence, and he hadn't expected this guy's cosmic ring to be so big. After all, he had been an Emissary.
Now, he had over a hundred million in assets. Although it wasn't much, it was still better than nothing.
"Brother Lu, Madam Red's whereabouts are related to a Celestial Imprinter. My Hui family is absolutely certain. Don't you want to know?" Hui Santong was unwilling to give up and asked again.
Lu Yin looked at Hui Santong. "What did you just say?"
Hui Santong's jaw dropped. That was impossible! He was Hui Santong, a descendant of the Hui family. Just like their surname, the Hui family represented intelligence. Every member of the Hui family was very intelligent, and they tested themselves by analyzing other people's personalities rather than just strength. He had analyzed Lu Yin, or rather, the entire Hui family had analyzed Lu Yin, and this person's reaction was off.
This person should not care about Madam Red, but what was wrong?
He really did not seem to care. That was impossible. Could the entire Hui family's analysis of this person be wrong?
Of course, it wasn't that Lu Yin didn't care about Madam Red, but he knew more than Hui Santong. Hui Santong's words clearly indicated that they did not know Madam Red's exact whereabouts. At most, they had guessed that she was related to Old Man Cangqiong, but their information was outdated.
Lu Yin was increasingly convinced of the importance of having timely information.
A stone pillar would appear here, and at the top of the pillar would be a piece of jade. That was an opportunity.
Liu Tianmu was the first to arrive, followed by the people from the Sixth Mainland.
It had to be said that the youth from the Sixth Mainland who wanted to compete for the position of Realmling was very lucky, as he had actually run into someone from his own family, the Imprinter. In the end, Liu Tianmu had been used as a sparring partner.
Hui Santong had not discovered the Imprinter when he arrived, and neither had Fan Shun. Everyone had been completely suppressed by one Imprinter.
The only lucky person was Zhu San, who had also been discovered, but he had slipped away, and the Imprinter had not paid much attention to him.
"This old guy's death proves that you have to remove the roots when you're cutting weeds. Don't underestimate anyone, even if they're an ant," Hui Santong sighed.
Zhu San glanced at him and cursed inwardly, Your whole family is full of ants. Of course, he only dared to curse inwardly and not out loud. The Hui family was an existence that was on par with the Ce family, and he could not afford to offend them.
However, one day, when he was strong enough, he would not be afraid of anything. He was someone who had cross-dressed, so who in the universe could compare to him?
For some reason, he even felt a little proud.
"Leaking information will attract powerful enemies. Brother Lu, you shouldn't have let Fan Shun go," Hui Santong added.
"Hey, two-legged beast, you look very familiar," the despicable fish spoke up. It had been staring at Hui Santong for a long time.
Hui Santong pursed his lips. He had experienced this despicable fish before, but he had no interest in dealing with it.
Xi Qi hurriedly moved away, but the despicable fish slapped her head until it turned red.
"Brother Lu, are you really not interested in Madam Red's whereabouts?" Hui Santong did not give up and asked again.
Lu Yin seriously answered, "Not interested."
Hui Santong's face turned bitter, as Lu Yin's attitude made him doubt the wisdom of the Hui family. There had to be something wrong somewhere, and this should not have happened.
