The Sixth Mainland's blacksmithing family had been an extremely powerful family, and their forefather had been a Celestial Imprinter. They had been one of the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Sect's Four Sovereigns, but they had been destroyed by the Symbol Progenitor's power during the invasion of the Fifth Mainland.
When the blacksmithing family had been at its peak, aside from the Celestial Imprinter's forefather, there had also been World Imprinters and World Imprinters. There were many experts in the family, and the War Martial Realm had been ranked according to the blacksmithing family's blacksmiths. The Martial Progenitor had not interfered with the blacksmithing family's blacksmithing family, and the Martial Progenitor had not interfered. The family's Weaponwielder had also been a Realmling, and he had been extremely arrogant to the point that Wendy Yushan had not been able to control his sword.
Now, the blacksmithing family had lost its glory, and this person was perhaps the only Imprinter left in the family.
Lu Yin did not know how high that Imprinter's cultivation was, and he did not want to take the risk of fighting with that person. He only hoped that this person would be slapped to death by the astral beast.
However, Lu Yin was disappointed, as that Imprinter did not come out. Several days passed, and people would occasionally rush out of the palace, but that Imprinter still did not come out.
Lu Yin had been following the astral beast for more than ten days now, and there were times when he was tempted to enter the palace to take a look. More than one person had been lucky enough to escape the fate of being slapped to death. Even if those people could not escape him, he still resisted the urge to enter. He was determined not to go.
On this day, a certain distance to the right of the astral beast's corpse, a pale-faced man was shuttling through the void. He would occasionally look back, as if he was trying to avoid something.
For a long time, nothing happened, and the man's expression did not relax. Instead, it became even more serious.
Suddenly, the man's body froze, and his skin dried up as if water had been sucked out of it. He took out an umbrella to cover his body, and only then did that state disappear.
"As long as you tell me how this umbrella is used and where it came from, I'll let you go. How about it?"
A cold voice traveled over, and a woman walked out from behind the man. Her expression was gloomy, and her gaze was icy. She was filled with killing intent and arrogance.
"You're an Emissary, but you're toying with an Enlighter like me. Don't you feel ashamed?" the man asked coldly.
The woman sneered. "I fought with an Enlighter a while ago....... who was younger than you, but he escaped. Enlighter." Jiu Han.
The man frowned. "Are you talking about Lu Yin?"
Jiu Han's eyes narrowed. "Tell me where the umbrella came from and what it's used for. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving this place alive." As soon as she finished speaking, she looked into the distance in shock and saw the giant zombie carrying the palace on its back. She was completely dumbfounded, as this scene was extremely shocking.
The man also saw it. His pupils constricted, and then he sped up.
Jiu Han snorted coldly. "That umbrella can prevent me from extracting the water from your body, but do you think it can block my attack?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the space beside the man trembled as he was flung away.
After all, Jiu Han was an Emissary, and not just any ordinary Emissary at that. The man was only an Enlighter, and his power level did not even reach 300,000, so there was no way he could resist her.
There was only one Lu Yin in the entire universe.
The man did not suffer any injuries. On the surface of his body, three streams of Qi coiled around him and transformed at the same time.
Jiu Han sneered. "I've already experienced the Three Suns Ancestral Qi, and it's indeed an invincible battle technique. Unfortunately, it can't make up for the difference between us."
The Xia family's Progenitor Chen formed from the Three Suns Ancestral Qi merged with the illusory Progenitor Chen and slashed out. On the other side, Progenitor Hui, formed from ancestral qi, flitted past Jiu Han and laid down a sourcebox array.
Jiu Han raised a finger and tapped out. A martial seal revolved around her fingertip, and the array easily shattered the Progenitor Chen.
The Progenitor Chen's combined blade technique was also easily neutralized.
She was not an ordinary Emissary, but someone with a power level of over 600,000. She was one of the top powerhouses in the same realm.
"Enough playing! Hand over the umbrella!" Jiu Han barked. She descended in front of the man and pressed down with a single palm. This attack was merciless.
The man raised a hand. "Banish," but it was useless. Jiu Han was only forced back a step by the secret technique, and her palm had already landed on the man's forehead.
The man thought that he would definitely die, but Jiu Han's palm did not land. Instead, she grabbed the man's neck and dragged him towards the giant zombie.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I remember that you're called Shangqing, and keeping you alive is more useful than killing you. Actually, I'm more interested in knowing what the Three Suns Ancestral Qi is." Jiu Han's voice became much gentler as she looked at the man.
This was her true goal. When she recognized the man, the first thing that came to mind was the Three Suns Ancestral Qi.
During the Sovereign Tournament, the Three Suns Ancestral Qi had displayed its brilliance and suppressed everyone in the same generation, including the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Three Skies. Shangqing had even wanted everyone to surround and attack him in order to force out the Three Suns Ancestral Qi's potential, but the Martial Progenitor had stopped him.
If not for Lu Yin's sudden appearance and display his legendary strength, Shangqing would have been unstoppable among his peers.
Jiu Han had also watched the Sovereign Tournament from the Daosource Sect, and she had been filled with curiosity and desire for the Three Suns Ancestral Qi. She had not expected to run into Shangqing in the Burial Garden, so she had naturally acted.
She did not care about the consequences, and she had the Martial Progenitor's support.
So what if she killed Shangqing? Even if she captured him, the Hall of Honor would not know.
Shangqing was not surprised that she wanted to learn the Three Suns Ancestral Qi. "You won't be able to learn it."
Jiu Han sneered, and her gaze landed on the Spiritvoid Umbrella in Shangqing's hands. "What exactly is this umbrella?
It can actually prevent me from extracting the water from your body, so it's definitely not an ordinary item. You have quite a few secrets, just like that Lu Yin. It's a pity that he escaped, or else the two strongest people in the Fifth Mainland would have fallen into my hands. "
Grabbing Shangqing, Jiu Han caught up to the astral beast's wandering corpse. When she saw the beast's true appearance, she was just as shocked as Lu Yin.
"It's actually a beast. The Burial Garden really does have everything," Jiu Han muttered to herself.
Behind them, in the distance, Lu Yin stared blankly at Jiu Han, who had appeared in front of the astral beast's wandering corpse. Shangqing?
Lu Yin saw Jiu Han, but she was completely focused on the astral beast's wandering corpse and did not notice him at all.
Jiu Han did not notice Lu Yin, so he quickly lowered his head and hid himself even deeper. He was not afraid, as Xia Yi was not around, and Jiu Han alone was not enough for him to hide. More importantly, there was still Shangqing.
He had to think of a way to rescue Shangqing.
Jiu Han had not become an Emissary through cultivation alone. Anyone who wanted to become an Emissary had to go through many trials and tribulations, even if they were descendants of the Martial Ancestor.
She was a cautious person, and even when she saw the palace, she did not immediately rush in. Instead, she held onto Shangqing while waiting, just like Lu Yin.
Lu Yin could only stay even further away to prevent her from discovering him.
Not long after, someone else appeared. This person did not immediately enter the palace and instead also planned to stay far away. Jiu Han was unhappy, and she appeared in front of that person and threw him in.
That person was only a Hunter, and he was as powerless as a child in front of Jiu Han.
Jiu Han sneered when she saw that the person was unharmed after being thrown into the palace. She moved her finger, and that person had intended to rush into the palace, but he was unable to be stopped.
The astral beast's strength pulled him back, but at that moment, the astral beast's wandering corpse waved its arm and smashed that person into a pool of blood.
Jiu Han and Shangqing's expressions changed at the same time, and they both looked at the astral beast's wandering corpse fearfully. This thing could actually attack?
There were clearly ancient items within the palace, and Jiu Han wanted to obtain them, but she did not want to take the risk herself. She looked at Shangqing and decided that this would not do. This person was related to the ancestral qi of the Three Suns, and his value was too great. She could not take the risk, so she could only keep a distance. She decided that if someone entered the palace, she would wait, and if that person obtained something and was slapped to death, it would belong to her.
Her thoughts coincided with Lu Yin's.
At this moment, Lu Yin circled around and arrived in front of the astral beast's wandering corpse. He then set up a sourcebox array according to the path that Jiu Han had followed the astral beast's wandering corpse.
He rejoiced that the astral beast's wandering corpse had attracted all of Jiu Han's attention. Otherwise, she might have been able to discover him.
Two hours later, Jiu Han grabbed Shangqing and continued to follow the corpse while waiting for someone to find it.
Suddenly, Jiu Han's eyes trembled as she sensed a fluctuation of star energy. She looked up and saw a pool of blood in the distance. There was a cosmic ring in the pool of blood, and the fluctuation of star energy was coming from there.
She was puzzled; how could someone have died there?
And it looked exactly the same as when the astral beast had been slapped to death.
Even though it was strange, she did not think too much about it. She grabbed Shangqing and walked over to the pool of blood. Just as she was about to lower her head to retrieve the cosmic ring, Shangqing suddenly disappeared and reappeared a thousand meters away. Jiu Han was shocked. Not good! A sourcebox array! She stepped into Astral Source Universe to prevent any sneak attacks.
Suddenly, Lu Yin used the Secret Art of 'Scheme' to appear behind her. Golden battle force imprint appeared as he unleashed his Emptiness Palm.
Jiu Han had not expected it to be Lu Yin, and she subconsciously used a ripple to block in front of her. She reacted quickly, and the Emptiness Palm landed on the ripple, sending her flying out of Astral Source Universe. Lu Yin's eyes trembled as his spiritual force erupted.
The Jiuhan Imprint's majestic power swept through the area, completely dispersing Shangqing and Lu Yin's star energy. She could disperse star energy, but she couldn't disperse spiritual force, nor could she disperse the Emptiness Palm.
The last time they had fought, Lu Yin had learned that Jiu Han's greatest weakness was her spiritual force. Coincidentally, his strongest point was also her spiritual force.
He was the strongest against the weakest, and Jiu Han was immediately struck. Under Bai Ye's Imprint of the Martial Progenitor, her entire being sank into oblivion. She saw the Martial Progenitor descend, and she saw herself learn the ancestral qi of the three suns. However, all of this was illusory as the Martial Progenitor sent a palm towards her.
This palm landed on her, and from what Lu Yin knew, the illusory attack within Bai Ye's Imprint of the Martial Progenitor was enough to heavily injure or even kill Jiu Han.
However, he had underestimated the Martial Progenitor's descendant.
Jiu Han's forehead blossomed with light as a martial seal appeared. Not only did it break through Bai Ye's Imprint of the Martial Progenitor, but it also attacked Lu Yin.
If Lu Yin had seen Jiu San's battle with the Corpse God, he would not have been surprised. Jiu San was the Martial Progenitor's third grandson, and he had relied on the martial seal that the Martial Progenitor had left within his body to kill the Corpse God. Jiu Han also had an inherited martial seal, and even if its power was less than one percent of Jiu San's, it was still a fatal threat to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and with a wave of his hand, the Spiritvoid Umbrella appeared in Shangqing's hand. He opened it up and aimed it at the martial seal.
There was a loud bang as the void was torn apart, and Lu Yin was sent flying. The shockwaves from the void's explosion swept through the surroundings, kicking up a cloud of dust beneath the feet of the astral beast corpse.
After a while, when the dust settled, Lu Yin lowered his arm. The Spiritvoid Umbrella was undamaged, and Jiu Han's face went pale. "Impossible! The martial seal came from the Martial Progenitor. How could this umbrella withstand it?"
