Lu Yin's words caused Ku Rong's heart to sink, as even Ancestor Ku's power vessel could not move Lu Yin. Either Lu Yin's appetite was too big, and the Ku family could not afford it, or he really did not know how to pass down the inheritance.
Compared to the former, Ku Rong believed in the latter more. If it was so easy to pass down the inheritance, then Ancestor Ku would have left it behind, and it was impossible that his disciple did not know how to do it.
What a pity!
"Senior, is Ancestor Ku's Time Withering Wood for sale?" Lu Yin suddenly asked. "This junior can exchange for it with some good stuff."
Ku Rong was not in a good mood. "Alliance Leader Lu, please rest well. I'll take my leave now. As for Ancestor Ku's power vessel, I'm naturally not selling it." He then looked back at Lu Yin. "With Alliance Leader Lu's current cultivation, you might not be able to pass down the inheritance, but that might not be impossible in the future. I hope that Alliance Leader Lu can give my Ku family hope, and my family will treat you with sincerity." He then stepped into the void and left.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. This old man was probably in a bad mood.
After Ku Rong left, Ku Pu arrived. Given Lu Yin's status, it was only right for Ku Pu to receive him.
Ku Pu already knew that things could not be passed down, but he still treated Lu Yin very well. The Ku family needed hope, and Lu Yin was willing to give it to them.
This was different from the Wen family hanging around, as that was a literal literary prison. Here, however, there was only hope.
Ku Pu had forgotten his past disagreements with Lu Yin, and he brought Lu Yin around the Spirit Void Land. He also told Lu Yin about Ancestor Ku, and the two of them occasionally mentioned Ku Wei.
Ku Wei was the only link between the Ku family and Lu Yin. Aside from that, there were only benefits.
Ku Pu would never have dreamed that he would one day use Ku Wei to form a relationship with someone else.
Fortunately, he had agreed to let Ku Wei go. Otherwise, his relationship with Lu Yin would be like that of the Xia family, and it would be difficult to salvage the situation.
Lu Yin and the Second Nightking stayed in the Spirit Void Land, and Lu Yin was very interested in the thunder.
It was born from Ancestor Ku's Time Withering Wood, and although it was not very powerful, it could continuously produce Time Withering Wood. It was a treasure trove.
The next day, Lu Yin declined Ku Pu's offer to bring him around the Spirit Void Land and walked alone.
In the sky, lightning suddenly appeared and fell, bombarding the river.
Lu Yin appeared, squatted down, and dipped a hand into the river. He felt a slight tingling sensation, but it was not very powerful. It did not even have the destructive power of an Enlighter, and he could not sense anything special about it.
Another bolt of lightning struck in the distance.
Lu Yin tore through the void and left.
Lu Yin's whereabouts couldn't be hidden from the Ku family.
Ku Pu stood respectfully behind Ku Rong and looked in Lu Yin's direction.
"Elder, is there really no way to teach this child that when things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction?" Ku Pu couldn't help but ask.
Ku Rong was helpless. "I don't know. I can't see through it."
Ku Pu frowned. The dignified Seven Courts' Ku Family couldn't even deal with a youngster. It was truly sullen.
"It doesn't matter whether or not he can teach it now. When things reach an extreme, they can only move in the opposite direction. As long as he continues to grow, he might be able to teach it in the future. That child has a very high chance of reaching the same level as Ku Zu. We have to be on good terms with him," said Ku Rong solemnly.
Ku Pu was shocked, "He can reach the ancestor's level?"
Ku Rong looked at Ku Pu. "This child underwent his Origin Tribulation and defeated Progenitor Chen. No matter how strong the ancestor is, Progenitor Chen will always be synonymous with invincibility. Once this child becomes a Progenitor, he might be able to rival Progenitor Chen.
At that time, it might not be impossible to teach him. When things reach an extreme, they can only move in the opposite direction. You have to look at the future. Why is this child protected by the Hall of Honor? It's because the Hall of Honor is able to see into the future.
"The Seven Courts cannot exist forever. We are united because of Progenitor Chen's tomb, but we might also fall apart because of it. No one can predict what will happen in the future, so it's not wrong to leave a way out."
"Understood," Ku Pu replied respectfully.
Ku Rong said, "Give him a Time Wood. It's one of the five."
Ku Pu's expression changed, and he was somewhat reluctant, but he still replied, "Yes."
…
Ku Zu's past had piqued Lu Yin's interest in the Land of Spirit Void. He wanted to learn more about Ku Zu's past, but he could not stay here forever.
Even though the Ku family treated him with respect, Ku Lei even bowed when he saw him.
Lu Yin picked up his gadget and contacted someone: Madam You.
This was one of the most important reasons why he had come to the Seven Courts. In the Eternal Kingdom, Undying Yushan's appearance had caused great waves. Back then, he had divined that Undying Yushan had involved someone else: the Netherworld Progenitor.
This ancient Progenitor was an ancestor of the You family. If Lu Yin wanted to know more about the Netherworld Progenitor, he would have to go through the You family.
The You family had split up on their own accord, and the Yōu Secret Art had even been taken to the Innerverse. There had to be a reason behind this, but the Sword Sect had not been able to find out.
Madam You had followed the Great Eastern Alliance to participate in the war against the Astral Beast Domain and had made great contributions. The Sword Sect could not touch them for the time being, which allowed the Yōu Court to live peacefully for a period of time. However, these peaceful days would not last for long.
Madam You had recently sensed that the Sword Sect's attitude towards them had changed.
The most obvious change was the fact that Elder Li from the Sword Sect had entered and left the Yōu Court as if there was no one there. He did not even care about an Emissary like her, and that attitude gave Madam You a bad premonition.
Coupled with what had happened with the You family, she had a lot on her mind.
"Mother, is there any news from the main family?"
Yōu Ye'er asked Madam You anxiously.
Madam You's expression turned ugly. "Go and cultivate. This has nothing to do with you."
"If the main family is in trouble, then we'll really lose our foundation. The Sword Sect's attitude towards us is getting worse and worse. Mother, you just joined the war against the Astral Beast Domain, but they're still acting like this? They're too impudent!"
Madam You's gaze turned cold. The Sword Sect's attitude directly reflected the Great Eastern Alliance's attitude, or rather, Lu Yin's attitude.
She had contacted Lu Yin many times, but he had never expressed his support for the Yōu Court. It had been impossible in the past, and it was impossible now as well, unless she told him everything.
Could she tell him?
Madam You was apprehensive and anxious. The current Lu Yin was completely different from when she had first contacted him. Back then, she had wanted to join the Great Eastern Alliance because Lu Yin had great influence and background. However, he did not have the strength to directly threaten her, which made him safer than the Sword Sect. Now, however, Lu Yin was far more dangerous than the Sword Sect.
If the Yōu Court had still been the Yōu Court of the past, then she would not have provoked Lu Yin even if the Sword Sect threatened her. However, everything had changed. The Yōu Court had been controlled by the Sword Sect, and Yōu Ye'er had even been imprisoned by them. If she had not participated in the war against the Astral Beast Domain, then Yōu Ye'er would not have been able to regain her freedom.
Now, the Yōu Court was not planning on who to protect, but rather how to survive. The situation had changed too quickly, and Madam You was at a loss.
At that moment, her gadget rang, and she glanced at it in shock.
It was actually Lu Yin?
Yōu Ye'er
She saw it as well. "Mother, Lu Yin."
Madam You gestured for silence, took a deep breath, and accepted the call. "Alliance Master, you were looking for me?"
Lu Yin, who was walking through the Spirit Void, looked at the extinguished flames in front of him and asked, "How have you been recently?
Has the Sword Sect made things difficult for you? "
Madam You did not understand why Lu Yin was asking this, as it was impossible for him to not know about the Sword Sect's situation. What were his plans?
"It's the same as before," Madam You replied. Lu Yin was now far more terrifying than the Sword Sect, and she was subconsciously on guard. However, because of the current situation, she could not get rid of Lu Yin. This made her feel conflicted, and she did not know how to continue the conversation.
Lu Yin could hear the resistance in her voice. "Alright, I understand. That's all." He then hung up.
He wanted to know more about the Netherworld Ancestor, but Madam You might not necessarily tell him the truth. The wariness in her voice told Lu Yin that it would take some effort to obtain the information he needed. Since that was the case, he decided to let the Sword Sect do it for him.
Lu Yin was about to contact Liu Qianjue and have the Sword Sect pressure the Yōu Court.
However, Madam You suddenly called him. "Alliance Master, can you help us?"
When she said this, Madam You was filled with helplessness, and her face was pale. In front of her, Yōu Ye'er clenched her fists, feeling just as sullen. The current situation was very unfavorable for them, and if they were not careful, they would follow in the Yu family's footsteps.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Didn't you say that it's the same as before?
Then it should be fine. "
Madam You whispered, "It's not the Yōu Court. It's the You family."
Lu Yin did not understand. "Explain."
Madam You muttered to herself for a moment. "Before the Astral Beast Domain invaded, there was a strange change in Burial Garden. It was said that the Seven Skygods attacked, and it even led to Mystery Ancestor's betrayal. The one who lured the Seven Skygods into Burial Garden was Hidden Weep."
"Hidden Weep?"
Lu Yin was confused at first, but then he remembered. "The You family? You Qin's younger brother?
The Burial Garden Knight who used the Sword Sect's Thirteen Swords to fight me in the Mountain and Sea Realm? "
"That's right." Madam You was not surprised that Lu Yin knew about this. With Lu Yin's current status, he knew too much. "His body was used as a coordinate to attract the Seven Skygods. After Burial Garden was sealed, the Hall of Honor launched an investigation into the You family, and the Interstellar Arbitration Court sealed off the You family. Perhaps the You family will face a great calamity. Alliance Master, I don't know if the You family has colluded with the Neohuman Alliance, but I hope that Hidden Weep alone will not implicate the You family or the Yōu Court."
Lu Yin did not know much about the changes in Burial Garden. After Burial Garden had been sealed off, he had not paid much attention to this matter. He had not expected that Hidden Weep would be the source.
"So the rumor that the Seven Courts had a spy is Hidden Weep?" Lu Yin asked.
Madam You replied bitterly, "I don't know, but the possibility is not high. The Neohuman Alliance was able to enter Progenitor Chen's tomb long before Hidden Weep was born. It shouldn't be him."
"That's why the Interstellar Arbitration Court is investigating the You family." Lu Yin understood now. Hidden Weep might be a traitor, but he could not be the only one. Then, who was behind Hidden Weep?
When Lu Yin had left Progenitor Chen's tomb, the Seven Courts had guessed that the tomb had been targeted by someone from the Neohuman Alliance. Because of this, Lu Yin had gotten into an argument with Xia Yi.
Now that he thought about it, the You family's patriarch, You Kexin, had spoken up for him. He had been a five star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker at the time, and Lockbreakers were famous for being protective of their own.
If no one from the You family had colluded with the Neohuman Alliance, then he would have to repay this favor.
