Just as he was about to leave, his gaze shifted and he stopped in place. He slowly turned his head towards a corner where a man was practicing some battle technique.
In the huge futon plaza, there was only him and that man.
It was normal for him to train in battle techniques, but this person had glanced at Lu Yin several times while he was training. Lu Yin's five senses were extremely sharp, and when he looked at this man, he felt an inexplicable sense of wariness. This person's cultivation was not weak.
More importantly, Lu Yin hadn't changed his appearance, so this person might have recognized him. As he thought about it, Lu Yin walked towards the man.
The man's expression remained the same.
When Lu Yin walked to his side, the man looked up and met his gaze. "What is it?"
"Nothing much, I'm just here to kill you." He then attacked with a palm strike at the man. The man's eyes were fierce, and a terrifying aura swept out from behind him.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. He had only been testing the waters, but he hadn't expected this person to be an expert. "Imprinter."
"Lu Yin, you really did appear. Don't even think about running away now that you're here!" the man shouted. He had been ordered to guard the futon plaza just to wait for Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had obtained the inheritance of the Nine Cauldrons' battle techniques, and he had entered the Nine Cauldrons' space multiple times. Four cauldrons had already been destroyed, and the Sixth Mainland could no longer tolerate this. Not only had they sent powerhouses to guard the Nine Cauldrons' space, but they had also sent people to keep an eye on the futon plaza. This had been going on for a very long time. Even though they knew that Lu Yin might change his appearance when he came here, they still had to report it to the higher-ups.
The man had already reported that there were quite a few people who had changed their appearances and come to the Daosource Sect's ruins. He had not expected Lu Yin to appear with his own appearance, but he had not expected that Lu Yin would still show up.
The man's mission was to report Lu Yin's whereabouts immediately.
There wasn't much danger in this mission. If Lu Yin had changed his appearance, he wouldn't have attacked just because someone stared at him. However, Lu Yin hadn't changed his appearance, so the man should have recognized him just by looking at him. Naturally, he would attack.
Bang
There was a loud explosion, and the man retreated more than ten steps. His hands were numb, and he stared at Lu Yin in shock. "You?"
Lu Yin struck out with the Emptiness Palm, but the man couldn't even see the palm print. He had just become an Imprinter, and his power level was over 500,000. He wouldn't even be able to block the Emptiness Palm, let alone the Emptiness Palm.
Puff
Spitting out a mouthful of blood, the man tried to flee into the Astral Source Universe, but Lu Yin had already blocked his path.
Xia Ji's grievances and anger were completely vented on this person.
Not long after, the man's body fell to the ground, his arm broken. That was where the Stellar Origin Qi Vortex was located.
Lu Yin walked in front of the man. "I placed some hidden energy in the location of your astral origin cyclone. I don't want to be crippled. After you leave, contact this person and tell him that I've come to the Daosource Sect's ruins. Also, give him a name — Xia Ji."
The man stared at Lu Yin in horror, half of his body covered in blood. "I- got it. I'll definitely tell him to help me remove the hidden force."
Of course, Lu Yin wouldn't hold anything back; it was just a threat. After all, cultivators cared more about their cultivation than their lives.
He wasn't afraid of letting this person go. It didn't matter if the Sixth Mainland knew that he was here. After all, how many experts could the Sixth Mainland have to deal with him?
His own Daosource Sect had just been attacked by the Neohuman Alliance, and with the addition of the people who had entered Burial Garden, the Sixth Mainland was too busy fending for itself, so they had no time to care about Lu Yin's affairs.
The contact number he gave was Yuan Qiong.
At present, it seemed that the only ones who could help him were the Sirius Sect and Everlasting Island. The Sirius Sect had helped him because of their inheritance, while Everlasting Island had helped him because of Highsage Leon. He could only place his hopes on Elder Gong and the Sage Heavenly Master.
"This person will help you remove the hidden force. Contact him yourself," Lu Yin said. He then changed his appearance, stepped forward, and vanished.
The man didn't know if Lu Yin had left any hidden energy in his body, but he didn't dare to take the risk. If he lost, then his cultivation would be completely gone.
Cultivators fought against the heavens and against others. They had crossed countless corpses in their path of cultivation, and their enemies were everywhere. If he lost his cultivation, then what awaited him and his family would be a tragic end. He could not afford to lose his cultivation.
If he wanted to save himself, then time was of the essence.
If that man had been able to stay in the Daosource Sect's ruins for another half a month, then even if he told Elder Gong and the others that Xia Ji had attacked him, they wouldn't have much time to search for him.
Thus, Lu Yin couldn't place his hopes on just one or two people.
He rushed past the First Divine Gate and arrived at the Budding Terrace. There, he frantically searched for people who were about to leave the Daosource Sect's ruins. He then coerced them into contacting Yuan Qiong and Sage Leon.
The more people there were, the more likely that he would be exposed to the Sixth Mainland. However, Lu Yin had no other choice, as this was the only way to save himself.
For half a month, Lu Yin had lost count of how many people he had arranged to send messages. He only knew that an Imprinter had appeared in the Daosource Sect's ruins and was searching for him. The rest of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators were all jittery, which was why he had gone to the Mountainsea Inheritance.
Lu Yin didn't know how much of an impact he had had on the outside world.
After a cultivator from the Sixth Mainland left the Daosource Sect's ruins, he weakly contacted Yuan Qiong.
"Who is it?"
Yuan Qiong asked, as this was an unfamiliar number. As the Sect Master of Sirius Sect, it was unlikely that an unfamiliar number would contact him.
"Xia Ji. Xia Ji captured him," the weak voice said.
Yuan Qiong was confused. "What did you say?"
"I don't know. That person told me to contact you. He said that Xia Ji captured him," the weak voice helplessly replied. This was the only thing that he knew, and he didn't know anything else.
Yuan Qiong's gaze turned cold. "Who are you?
Who is that person?
Where did he tell you? "
"In the Daosource Sect's ruins. I don't know who that person is, but he told me to tell you that you have the antidote, right? He said that only you have the antidote to save me."
At that moment, another call came through, and it was also an unfamiliar number.
"It's Xia Ji. Xia Ji captured him." The voice was filled with terror. "Give me the antidote. I don't want to die. I don't want to be eaten by poisonous insects."
"Who told you to tell me this?" Yuan Qiong had a guess.
"I don't know. I don't want to die. Give me the antidote." The voice on the other end of the call became even more terrified.
…
Far away in the Cosmic Sea, Highsage Leon also received all sorts of messages. "It's that old bastard Xia Ji again. I'll kill him one day." They weren't stupid, and they quickly guessed that Lu Yin was asking for help in the Daosource Sect's ruins. They immediately contacted Everlasting Sky Island and asked the Elysian Heavenly Master to deal with Xia Ji.
Yuan Qiong also contacted Elder Gong, and he was more proactive than anyone else.
Elder Gong's expression was solemn. "Xia Ji must have guessed that Lu Yin has something to do with the Sirius Art inheritance."
"Elder, Lu Yin won't be able to stay in the Daosource Sect's ruins for long." Yuan Qiong was anxious, as he could not afford to lose the Sirius Art inheritance while he was still the sect master. The Sirius Art had already been forced to be learned by the Xia family, and if the inheritance was lost as well, then he would be condemned for eternity.
Elder Gong immediately left the Sirius Sect.
The Elysian Heavenly Master also left Everlasting Sky Island.
By the seaside in the Daosource Sect's ruins, Lu Yin sighed. He had failed again.
He had entered the mountain and seen the flames, but he had failed again. After that, he went to another mountain and saw the spring water, but he had also failed again.
He could not figure out what had gone wrong, and how he had confirmed that he had failed.
In the distance, a beautiful figure appeared. She was facing the sea and sitting alone, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Lu Yin was astonished. "Maiden?"
The newcomer was Maiden, and when she heard Lu Yin's voice, she looked over and was astonished. "Lu Yin?"
"You can recognize me?" Lu Yin was surprised.
Maiden replied, "I recognize your eyes."
Lu Yin blinked. "Is that so?" He then walked over to her side.
"So it really is you. Many people have been saying that a madman has appeared in the Daosource Sect's ruins and forced them to go out and talk nonsense. It looks like you've run into some trouble," Maiden said as she looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "I was plotted against by that old bastard Xia Ji. I can only think of a way to save myself."
"Xia Ji?"
Maiden was at a loss. Xia Ji was one of the Human Domain's Half-Ancestors, and he was also the ancestor of the Xia family. Not many people had heard of him, and Maiden was from the Sixth Mainland.
Lu Yin revealed Xia Ji's identity.
Maiden's expression turned solemn. "A dignified Half-Ancestor actually attacked you. How shameless."
Lu Yin shrugged. "Isn't that so? I'll make that old bastard pay a hundredfold sooner or later."
"Are you sure you can save yourself?" Maiden was worried.
Lu Yin wasn't sure either. "I should be able to. I'm about eighty to ninety percent confident."
Maiden nodded, but she didn't say anything else. The atmosphere was silent for a moment.
Lu Yin's relationship with Shin Nu had always been very good. It was the kind of relationship that could not be explained, but it was natural for them to trust each other even when they were enemies. Shin Nu had risked being discovered to save Lu Yin, and Lu Yin had saved her during the Sovereign Tournament. The two of them were friends that could not be explained.
They also had something in common: they had lost their memories.
"Lu Yin," Maiden said.
Lu Yin looked at her.
"Why is your surname Lu?" Maiden asked, turning to look at Lu Yin. A gentle breeze blew past, causing her hair to flutter. There was also a delicate fragrance.
Lu Yin subconsciously asked, "Do I have a choice?"
Maiden turned around and looked at a distant mountain. "The surname Lu is not ordinary."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "How is it not ordinary?
A primeval surname? "
Maiden muttered, "That's a powerful surname. Actually, my surname is Lu as well."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Your surname is Lu?"
Maiden nodded. "I've recovered my memories. My name is Lu Xin, and I come from an ancient family."
Lu Yin stared at her in a daze. "The ancient family you're talking about is the Lu family?"
Maiden's eyes were filled with reminiscence. "You don't understand what the surname Lu represents. It represents time, control, and ancient legends. It also represents …" She paused and then softly added, "Invincibility."
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. "Invincibility?
What makes you invincible?
Can a surname represent invincibility? "
Maiden took a deep breath and looked into the distance. She stood up. "I've said too much, but I don't know why I'm telling you all of this. We're actually from different eras." She then turned to leave. Even though she naturally had a good impression of Lu Yin, there were some things that were not suitable for her to say.
"General Appointment Stage," Lu Yin suddenly said.
