Dao Lord Si's expression changed. He was attacking that person.
In the invisible void, flames burned and swept across the sky, illuminating the darkness of the Eternal Kingdom.
A blazing sun rose into the sky, scorching the earth.
Yang Kong left the Astral Source Universe, and Lu Yin did the same. Compared to Yang Kong, Lu Yin's aura was much more chaotic.
The scorching sun of Eternal Kingdom was shattered by an invisible force. That force was terrifying.
Lu Yin looked up in shock. "Who is it?"
"He's my father," Yang Kong said, looking at him in surprise. "Who are you?"
Lu Yin and Yang Kong exchanged glances, their gazes filled with apprehension. "That's Lie Yanzi from the Skyfire Dojo."
Yang Kong frowned. "Heavenly Flame Dojo?
Wasn't it destroyed?
How can there be a Lie Yanzi? "
He looked at Dao Lord Si in confusion. "You know him?"
Path Master Si said in a low voice, "I'm not sure, but he's definitely using the Heavenly Flame Dojo's battle techniques, and he also has Tian Yan Zi's treasure on him."
Yang Kong looked at Lu Yin again and sized him up. "What's wrong with your body?"
"You ambushed me for no reason, and now you're asking all sorts of questions. Do you really think that you're in control of everyone in the Starfall Sea?"
Yang Kong sneered, "You'd better answer me. Otherwise, if my father shows up, it won't be so easy to deal with."
Lu Yin raised his head. "Then I'll ask City Lord Yang to step forward."
"Lieyan Zi, City Lord Yang won't appear for such a small matter. The entire Starfall Sea is now under the control of the Eternals. No matter who you are or what you've done in the past, it has nothing to do with the past. Just answer whatever Yang Kong asks you," said Dao Master Si.
Yang Kong stared at Lu Yin. He didn't care whether or not Lu Yin was Lie Yanzi, as it had nothing to do with him. He was only concerned about this person's strength. This person's body was special, and it was a little strange.
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "I'll be incinerated."
Dao Master Si was shocked.
Yang Kong was equally puzzled. "Transcending tribulation?
Astral Emissary Origin Tribulation? "
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "That's right. It was an Emissary's Origin Tribulation. As someone from the Heavenly Fire Dojo, I had to face flames during my tribulation. However, the flames of the Origin Tribulation were even more terrifying than the Heavenly Fire Dojo's. All of the water in my body was roasted dry, and I almost turned into ashes. Even if I managed to survive and become an Emissary, my body was unable to recover."
No one could prove that this answer was wrong. Since ancient times, there had been many kinds of Origin Tribulations. No one could say for sure what they would encounter during their Origin Tribulations.
Yang Kong looked deeply at Lu Yin. "Li Yanzi, you're from the Skyfire Dojo. Back when the Sixth Mainland attacked the Fifth Mainland, even Tian Yanzi died. How come you're still fine?"
"I've always been in seclusion at the core of the Heavenly Flames," he explained.
Si Xiao 'er spoke up. "I can prove that I met you at the core of Heavenly Flames."
Yang Kong glanced at Si Xiao 'er and calmly said, "Everyone, back off."
Dao Master Si waved her hand to get everyone to back off. There were many Water God Dao Hall disciples who needed treatment.
The destructive power of an Emissary, even if it was just the aftermath, was not something these disciples could withstand. The disciples of the Water Goddess Training Hall were not the only ones affected in the Eastern City. Many people who lived in the surrounding areas were also affected. Fortunately, these people were mostly cultivators.
Almost all the humans living in the East City were cultivators.
Only Yang Kong, Lu Yin, and Dao Master Si were left behind.
"Accompany me on a quest," Yang Kong said.
Lu Yin frowned. "Are you talking to me?"
"Who else?" Yang Kong's tone was as arrogant as ever.

Lu Yin felt like he was asking for a beating.
"I'm not going," he refused.
Yang Kong sneered. "You don't have the right to refuse. This quest comes from the Eternals. If you go, you'll return with unimaginable resources. If you don't go, I'll have to use some methods to ask Dao Master Si. She didn't want to go either, but she agreed in the end."
Lu Yin looked at Dao Master Si.
Dao Master Si was helpless. "I lost. I admit defeat."
"So you don't have to go as long as you win?" Lu Yin asked.
Yang Kong looked up. "You can't beat me."
"Why should I?" Lu Yin was annoyed.
"Based on that test, I can say with certainty that you can't beat me," Yang Kong said proudly.
Lu Yin raised a hand and flames ignited on his palm, transforming it into a sword. "Try it."
Yang Kong shook his head. "I'm only letting you accompany me on this quest because I think highly of you. What's the point of being stubborn?
Isn't the point of cultivation to become stronger and live longer?
As long as you succeed, you'll receive resources from the Eternals that will allow you to cultivate to a power level of a million. "
Lu Yin was stunned. "A power level of a million?
Resources? "
Yang Kong clasped his hands behind his back. "It's not just you, Dao Master Si. Those who accompany me on this quest will also receive the same treatment. If they succeed and return alive, they'll receive endless resources from the Eternals in the future. As long as you have enough talent, you can even become a Half-Ancestor, let alone a power level of a million.
Lu Yin lowered his hand, and the flames dissipated.
Dao Master Si glanced at Yang Kong. She had also received this promise, but she had not been tempted by it. So what if she had endless resources?
As long as she carried out this quest, she would definitely be standing against the humans, and she would only be able to work with those Corpse Kings in the future. So what if she could cultivate to a power level of a million?
She had no choice but to go.
Now, it seemed that this Lie Yanzi had been tempted.
She looked at Lu Yin with a cold and disdainful gaze. She had specifically investigated this Lie Yanzi.
This person had once been quite talented and had even fought for the position of Dao Master, but he had still been defeated in the end. He had even used despicable methods during the competition and had almost been expelled from the Skyfire Dojo. This person had been blinded by greed and was truly a despicable person.
Seeing that this person had been tempted by Yang Kong, it did seem to match the historical Lie Yanzi. Perhaps this person really was Lie Yanzi.
"My cultivation has reached a bottleneck, and I lack resources. The Skyfire Dojo has been destroyed, and I don't know where I can get more resources. Can you give them to me?" Lu Yin asked as he looked expectantly at Yang Kong.
Yang Kong's lips curled up. "Of course."
"I'm talking about right now. I'll agree to accompany you on this quest, but you have to give me resources. Only then can I break through my cultivation so that I can accompany you on this quest," Lu Yin said.
Yang Kong thought about it. "Sure. What do you want?"
Lu Yin answered without hesitation, "Star essence."
Yang Kong did not understand. "You're an Emissary. What do you need star essence for?"
Lu Yin helplessly explained, "The battle technique I just used is called Skyfire Sun. In theory, it can release limitless heat, and it can also be nurtured. However, it consumes too much astral source, and if I'm not careful, it might cause a backlash from the astral source universe. It's better to use star essence to nurture it. The more star essence I have, the stronger the Skyfire Sun will be. As long as I have enough star essence, I can nurture it to the point where it can threaten a powerhouse with a power level of 700,000."
Yang Kong was shocked. "It can threaten a powerhouse with a power level of 700,000?"
Lu Yin was certain. "That's right. It should be helpful to you."
Yang
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Yang Kong thought about it for a moment. "Alright. How many star essence do you need?"
"How many do you have?"
"There's still a few days before the mission starts. About five days. How many star essence can you use to nurture that battle technique in five days?"
"How many do you have?"
Yang Kong raised a brow. "Can you use as many as I have?"
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "Definitely. I'm confident."
Yang Kong nodded. "Alright, wait for me." He then vanished.
Lu Yin's breathing quickened. Money, money! Finally, money! He had a premonition that there would be a lot of money coming this time.
Yang Kong could not be blamed for being tricked, as there were battle techniques that could be nurtured. For example, the Hui family's Golden Meteor could be nurtured indefinitely. The Sixth Mainland also had battle techniques that could be nurtured, and Lu Yin had just used one.
That battle technique was not Skyfire Sun, but rather Blazing Sun, which originated from the Blaze Realm.
After defeating the Blaze Realm, Lu Yin had seen their battle techniques, and he knew all of them, including Blazing Sun, Karmic Flame Sword, and Poison Fire Palm. Since he was pretending to be someone from the Skyfire Dojo, using the Blaze Realm's battle techniques was naturally the most appropriate choice.
Blazing Sun could theoretically be used with unlimited heat, so it was normal for Yang Kong to be tricked.
Path Master Si looked at Lu Yin. "The Skyfire Dojo does not have a battle technique like Skyfire Sun."
"I created it myself," Lu Yin replied.
Path Master Si's tone was gloomy. "No matter what your goal is, don't think that you can take advantage of us. Since you agreed to this mission, you'll be poisoned. This poison comes from the Everlasting Tribe, and only they can cure it." She then turned and left.
No one was a fool, and Yang Kong was no fool. It was impossible for him to give Lu Yin resources without controlling him. The poison was a form of control.
Lu Yin had no other choice, as this was the only way to leave the Burial Garden. Otherwise, he would not have the ability to force his way into the western district and enter the Burial Garden. He had gone to the western district during the day for this exact reason. He wanted to see the western district and attract attention, but he also wanted to see if he could enter the Burial Garden without attracting attention. However, that pair of scarlet eyes had made him give up on that idea.
As for the poison, if it really was a life poison, then he would have to find Ming Yan. The white-haired Ming Yan was a great supplement for her, and if it was any other poison, then there should not be any stronger than a life poison. Otherwise, the Everlasting Tribe's research on poisons would be terrifying. Even if there was another poison, it would not matter, as the injuries caused by the poison were still within the limits of tolerance. This was where Lu Yin's confidence lay, and the Shaman Spirit God would not allow him to be poisoned to death.
Let's see if he could avoid being poisoned first.
Not long after, Yang Kong arrived and stretched out his hand under Lu Yin's expectant gaze. There were two drops of transparent liquid in his palm. One was clearly a life poison, and Lu Yin recognized it because he had come into contact with it many times. As for the other drop, he blinked and recognized it as well. Wasn't this the Tears of the Philanthropist?
Back when he had been on the ninth floor of the Divine Gu Dynasty's Yi Pavilion, he had purchased a drop of poison that was said to be able to kill powerful Emissaries. It was called the Tears of the Philanthropist, and it was also transparent and colorless. However, its insides resembled the flow of a galaxy, making it very easy to recognize. Although it was an extreme poison, it was not as colorless and tasteless as the Anitya Hellguards.
Lu Yin had not expected Yang Kong to take out the Tears of the Philanthropist.
"Open your hand," Yang Kong said.
Lu Yin subconsciously opened his hand.
The two drops of liquid were wrapped up by a gentle force and entered his palm.
"This is a poison developed by the Everlasting Tribe. Once it erupts, even Emissaries will die without a doubt. Since you're on a mission, you have to be controlled, especially since you've been given so many resources in advance," Yang Kong said. "But don't worry, as long as you don't betray us, this poison will not erupt."
