Lu Yin finally understood. It was no wonder that so many people knew about the Arcane Art of Life and Death. The elder from Driftcharge Planet, Brother Hui, and even the people from the Cosmic Tree knew about it. It turned out that the Specter Clan had spread the news in order to find people who could successfully cultivate it. Lu Yin also understood why the Specter Clan had confirmed that his inheritance could not be stolen, as there was no need to do so. The Arcane Art of Life and Death itself was his inheritance.
"Do you believe us now, Master?
We have no ill intentions towards you. You are the only person who has successfully cultivated it, and you will be able to create death qi in the future. You are the foundation for the continuation of our Specter Clan, "Tong Yu said. This was the main reason why she had sought Lu Yin out. She wanted him to know where his inheritance had come from and that the Specter Clan was not his enemy.
Although Lu Yin was still wary of Tong Yu, he was actually starting to believe her. The Arcane Art of Life and Death could not be faked, as his Death Transformation was based on the Arcane Art of Life and Death. It was also true that no one had successfully cultivated the Arcane Art of Life and Death, so they could not steal it even if they wanted to.
Even so, he was still wary of the Specter Clan, and he would not trust them so easily. "Since I'm so important to you, why didn't you help me when I was in danger?"
Tong Yu blinked. "Because of the Arcane Art of Life and Death."
Lu Yin was taken aback, as this made sense. He had almost died many times because of the Arcane Art of Life and Death, but he still felt that something was off.
Tong Yu sighed. "Master, you have to understand us Specter Clan. On one hand, we have joined the Neohuman Alliance and have always been under the surveillance of others. On the other hand, there are times when we don't have the ability to save you. Powerhouses often appear around you, such as a half-ancestor.
"However, we have also helped you when we could. For example, there were several times when the Neohuman Alliance ordered the Dark Arbiter to eliminate you, but we did not do anything. Right …" Tong Yu clapped her hands. "After the Autarch Tournament, we were even ordered by the Neohuman Alliance to capture you on Zenyu Star and Earth. If we could not capture you, we were to destroy those two places. We did not do anything."
Lu Yin was shocked. "Zenyu Star and Earth?"
Tong Yu nodded. "Those are the two places that you're more concerned about, and we didn't take any action. When the Great Eastern Alliance attacked the Daynight clan, I sent Silver to inform you of a location with a large amount of death energy. This is a sign of the Specter Clan's sincerity. Although we can't openly help you, we've done many things for you within our capabilities. You must remember that."
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. He didn't know if Tong Yu was telling the truth, but if it was, then he should rejoice. With the Dark Arbiter taking action, Earth and Zenyu Star would have no chance of surviving.
Tong Yu patted her chest. "I've said everything that needs to be said. We know that master is most worried about the inheritance being stolen by others, and our Specter Clan is the least likely to do so. Master, you should believe us now."
Lu Yin's gaze towards Tong Yu was no longer as wary as it had been in the beginning. "You came looking for me today because you wanted to tell me this, right?"
Tong Yu nodded, feeling a little troubled. "If I had taken the initiative to bring it up, Master might not have believed me. Fortunately, Master took the initiative to ask."
"Let me think about it. There's no need for you to follow me anymore. I believe you," Lu Yin said.
Tong Yu took a step forward and leaned close to Lu Yin until she was less than ten centimeters away from him. They were very close, and a strange fragrance wafted over. It was very pleasant.
Lu Yin wasn't used to it, and he wanted to back away.
Tong Yu stared at him for a moment before nodding. "You believe me this time. Alright, since that's the case …" She then waved a hand, causing a chessboard to appear on the ground. "Let's play chess."
Lu Yin was stunned. "What do you mean?"
Tong Yu sat down cross-legged on the ground without a care for her image. She propped up her chin with her right hand and blinked. "Let's play chess. It's not time yet."
"What time?" Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat.
Tong Yu pursed her lips and smiled. "It has nothing to do with Master. I still have something to say, but it'll have to wait until after the game."
"Just say what you want to say." Lu Yin's tone was low.
Tong Yu gestured for him to go ahead and smiled at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin sternly said, "I've wasted too much time here. The Hell Overlord will notice."
"He won't. I made him fall asleep," Tong Yu said happily. "I want to spend more time with Master."
Lu Yin frowned. "What are you trying to say?"
Tong Yu gestured for him to go ahead and blinked. She then put on a pitiful expression. "Master, play chess with me."
Lu Yin took a deep breath. He wanted to leave, but at some point, he had been surrounded by an aura of death that isolated him from the void. He knew that he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he helplessly sat down. "I don't like being forced. You should know that."
"I know, but I don't dare to force Master. Master, you'll find out soon enough." Tong Yu giggled and excitedly placed down a piece. She then looked at Lu Yin expectantly.
Lu Yin looked at her deeply, raised his hand, and placed down a piece.
Not long after Lu Yin and Tong Yu started their game, Hidden Weep, who was carrying a banner on her back, suddenly exploded into a streak of light in the cemetery.
The gravekeeper's eyes went wide, and his expression changed. "Not good!" He stepped forward and arrived at the spot where Hidden Weep's body had exploded. When he saw the various sourceboxes taking shape, his eyes narrowed. "A spatial transfer array?"
He didn't even think about it before pressing down with his hand.
The next moment, a bronze hand appeared at the center of the sourceboxes and met the gravekeeper's palm.
There was a loud boom, and the cemetery shook.
"Found it, gravekeeper. You can't protect her." A voice rang out from the spatial transfer array. It sounded like metal grinding against metal, and it was extremely unpleasant to the ears. However, it was also very deep and resounding, and it spread throughout the cemetery.
"Ancient God, it's you!" the gravekeeper barked.
Then, a strange laughter rang out. "Kekekeke, long time no see, gravekeeper." It was the Sorcerer Spirit God.
The gravekeeper's expression changed. Two of the Seven Skygods — no, three of them!
Within the spatial transfer array, a bronze Corpse King, a Sorcerer Spirit God, and a stooped figure with messy black hair that reached his feet sighed. "We're going to fight again. This is so troublesome. I want to sleep."
The gravekeeper's expression changed. "Ancient God, Sorcerer Spirit God, Undying God, you dare to enter the cemetery?
You're courting death. "
The Ancient God looked up. "You're the one who will die today."
As he spoke, the terrifying collision shook the burial garden. The darkness in the sky cracked open, like a black eye looking down. Everyone in the burial garden was shocked.
The spatial transfer array did not disappear with the appearance of the Seven Skygods, and two more figures walked out. One of them became incomparably large the moment he stepped out, and the other was as beautiful as a flower with half of her face marked with Progenitor Chen's symbol. They were the Corpse God and the Forgotten Ruins God.
The cemetery was a combination of continents, and surrounding these continents was a yellow ocean that everyone called the Yellow Springs.
Any Corpse King that entered the cemetery would be swept away by the Yellow Springs Sea, leaving nothing behind.
This was also the reason why the Neohuman Alliance could not enter the cemetery.
Now that the Seven Skygods had descended, the Yellow Springs Sea was similarly sweeping through the area, but it had been scattered by the Ancient God.
The Sorcerer Spirit God and the Undying God attacked the gravekeeper at the same time.
At this moment, a loud and clear melody rang out from the Yellow Springs Sea. A strange palanquin swayed in the Yellow Springs Sea, and pieces of paper fluttered about. There were scarecrows in front and behind the palanquin, and they followed the Yellow Springs Sea towards the Seven Skygods.
The Yellow Springs Suona
The Palanquin Carried by the Dead
Life Written on Paper
Scarecrows Protect Ancestor Tomb
"The four leaders of the Undead Regiment are mere ants." The Sorcerer Spirit God laughed strangely.
The Forgotten Ruins God frowned. "Even though they are ants themselves, they have the strength to fight against you and me under the protection of the Yellow Springs Sea. They cannot be underestimated."
"That's you." The Sorcerer Spirit God laughed strangely. "The shells you are using now are too weak, so leave them to me. Hehehehe."
The gravekeeper shouted angrily, "This is the cemetery, not a place where you monsters can be so presumptuous. You underestimate the Yellow Springs." As he spoke, he opened his arms, and the entire Yellow Springs Sea boiled. Pillars of water shot into the sky like yellow horned dragons, heading towards the Seven Skygods.
A pillar of water wrapped around the Sorcerer Spirit God and threw him towards a certain direction in the cemetery.
Another pillar of water wrapped around the Undying God and threw him towards a certain direction in the cemetery.
Another pillar of water wrapped around the Ancient God and threw him towards a certain direction in the cemetery.
The fourth and fifth pillars of water wrapped around the Corpse God and the Forgotten Ruins God.
The Corpse God's huge body was torn to pieces by the pillars of water, and the Forgotten Ruins God was the same. He couldn't even fight back.
The Sorcerer Spirit God and the Undying God also couldn't fight back and were thrown out by the pillars of water. Only the Ancient God was able to break free. "If I knew this would happen, I would have destroyed this cemetery!" the Ancient God shouted.
"You can't do it." The gravekeeper rushed towards the Ancient God.
In a corner of the cemetery, the Sorcerer Spirit God was smashed to the ground by the pillar of water. He snorted coldly. "Is that all?"
He was about to rush back to where he had been when he suddenly realized that he was stuck in a place. His body was bound by the Yellow Springs Sea. He looked down. Eh?
A cauldron?
Why does it look so familiar?
At this moment, a shadow loomed over him. The Sorcerer Spirit God looked up and saw a foot stomping down on him.
"It's you?"
The Sorcerer Spirit God cried out. In the next moment, his body was crushed. It was a man with an ordinary appearance. To be more precise, he was a wandering corpse. He didn't seem to see the Sorcerer Spirit God being crushed to death. He lowered his head and reformed the broken cauldron before continuing to stomp on it.
In another corner, the Undying God was similarly bound by the Yellow Springs Sea and smashed into the ground.
This was a tea mountain. If Lu Yin had seen it, he would have recognized it as the same one that had planted people into tea leaves. The Undying God had smashed into the center of the mountain and destroyed some of the tea leaves.
The moment the Undying God fell to the ground, the old wandering corpse on the mountain straightened his back and waved at him.
The Undying God's body was bound by the Yellow Springs Sea and flew towards the old wandering corpse. "You look familiar. We've met before."
The old wandering corpse didn't seem to know how to speak and only knew how to plant tea. The Undying God was stabbed into the ground and his body began to change.
"I remember now, Eastern Mountain Tea King. Long time no see, old friend. You're here too?
That's right, this is your tomb. "
"What are you trying to do?
Plant tea?
You want to turn me into a tea tree?
That won't be easy, but I'm bound by the Yellow Springs Sea and won't be able to resist for a while. Try your best. "
"Isn't it difficult? My body has already started to change, and I'll definitely be turned into a tea tree in the end. Take it slow, I won't resist. Actually, I want to sleep more. I'm tired. Alright, I'll use this body as a tea tree. It'll be an interesting experience."
Not long after, the Undying God's body turned into a tea tree, just like the millions of ordinary tea trees that swayed with the wind. There was also a face that seemed to be asleep.
