Lu Yin stared at the center, and sure enough, there was a bubble with traces of red liquid inside. It was about the same size as the one he had obtained from the Autumnfrost family.
He put it away without hesitation. "Let's go."
The Second Nightking led Lu Yin out of the forbidden zone, but before they could even leave the Glory Region, the world around them suddenly turned white. It was as if the Second Nightking had stepped into a different world.
The Second Nightking suddenly stopped and looked around in disbelief.
Lu Yin's expression changed. What was this?
He saw a vast expanse of white around him. It was not the color of white, but more like a pure white without any other color. It was so white that it glowed. Other than that, there were mountains and water. This was a white world with white mountains and white water.
"Inner world," the Second Nightking gritted his teeth. "We've entered the inner world of a half-ancestor."
Lu Yin's heart sank. The Four Way Scales couldn't have arrived so quickly. Who could it be?
He had seen the half-ancestors from the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands, except for Nine Radiants. However, Nine Radiants had no reason to attack him, so who could it be?
The Seven Skygods should be dead by now. Hold on! Lu Yin suddenly looked up. There was one person who hadn't died, and he hadn't even appeared yet — Bai Wushen.
Everything around him was white, and even the planet was submerged in white water. Lu Yin didn't know if the people on the planet knew about this.
How could they be so fast?
Lu Yin's expression turned ugly.
According to his calculations, the Four Way Scales should have arrived faster than the Eternals. Even if they were slower than the Eternals, as long as he withdrew and tossed the black crystal and the bubble at the Four Way Scales, the Eternals would still attack the Four Way Scales. They wouldn't suspect him.
He should have withdrawn, and he had to do so.
But what was going on now?
Bai Wushen had actually arrived and blocked his path. This was troublesome.
"I looked around, but I couldn't find what I needed. Alliance Master Lu, can you return it to me?"
A pleasant voice rang out in this white world.
The Second Nightking looked around, trying to find the source of the voice, but he couldn't find it.
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. "You're Bai Wushen?"
"It's the first time we've met, Alliance Leader Lu. It's been a while," said Bai Wushen. His voice was pleasant to the ears, but it was emotionless. It was the complete opposite of the Forgotten Ruins God.
"I don't know what you're talking about, I didn't take anything from you," Lu Yin said warily.
"Alliance Leader Lu, I understand your strategic importance, so I won't attack you unless it's absolutely necessary. However, you can't challenge my patience either. Thank you, return the item to me," Bai Wushen continued.
Lu Yin clenched his fist. "You're talking about the Eternal Kingdom, right? Fine, I can return it to you."
The white world was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly, the Second Nightking lowered his body without any warning. He lowered his head, and his pupils constricted. "My leg?"
Lu Yin looked over, his face deathly pale.
The Second Nightking's calf had mysteriously disappeared. To be more precise, it had melted into a white color that resembled the whiteness of the entire world. His calf was gone.
The Second Nightking growled and leapt up, attempting to leave the white world.
He couldn't care less about Lu Yin. Even if Lu Yin used the Cage Technique to control him or even kill him, it was still better than melting away in this place.
However, it was impossible for him to leave even if he wanted to. There might have been someone who had challenged a Half Martial Ancestor before, but it would not be him.
Above the Second Nightking's head, a white mountain crashed down.
Regardless of how the Second Nightking tried to flee, the mountain accurately smashed into his head, ruthlessly pressing him into the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to retaliate at all.
Lu Yin watched on helplessly.
This was the Second Nightking, yet he was in such a miserable state against Bai Wushen.
The Second Nightking howled in anguish as he felt his calf melting. Pain could not replace fear, and neither could fear replace pain. At this moment, he was filled with fear, despair, and pain. All of the misfortune that a human could endure had descended upon him. This ancient powerhouse who had lived since the era of the Daosource Sect to this day was mournful.
A chill spread from the soles of his feet, causing Lu Yin's entire body to shiver. This feeling was the same as when he had first seen the truth of the Eternal Kingdom.
The Second Nightking was about to melt, or rather, be eaten by this white world.
"Alliance Leader Lu, I won't hurt you. I definitely won't. Don't worry, you should be very sure that you know how important you are. However, he's different. The Second Nightking was once a slave of the Bai family from the Cold Immortal Sect. No one would care about the death of a slave, right?"
Bai Wushen's voice was still pleasant to the ears, but at this moment, it was incomparably horrifying to Lu Yin.
The Second Nightking was crushed beneath the white mountain, and he looked at Lu Yin pleadingly. "Save, save me! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
Lu Yin's fingers trembled, and he gritted his teeth so hard that they almost shattered. He raised his head and shouted, "Come out, Bai Wushen! Even if you want me to hand over the item, you should at least come out and meet me."
"You want to meet me?
Why? "Bai Wushen was curious.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth and shouted, "Legend has it that the leader of the Seven Skygods is the Ancient God, but the most mysterious one is Bai Wushen. Now, six of the Skygods are dead, and I want to see who exactly you are.
What do you look like? Come out and let me see, and I'll give you the item. "
Bai Wushen calmly replied, "We'll meet one day, but not now."
"You have the list of Immortals, don't you?"
Lu Yin barked. He was stalling for time, waiting for the people from the Four Cardinal Scales to arrive. He had never thought that he would actually hope that his enemies would arrive as soon as possible. He had never wished for them to come so much before.
"Humans are too evil. Just a few words can get a large group of people to pledge their loyalty. Mutants are all like this. Since ancient times, many Progenitors have betrayed humans. Alliance Master Lu, do you want to see the list of Immortals?"
Bai Wushen asked.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "Yes, I do."
"Alright, but …" He paused. "There's only one condition: your name has to be engraved on the list."
Lu Yin raised his brows. "You want me to betray humans?
Is that even possible? "
"It's possible for anyone, and your Lu family is no exception," Bai Wushen said.
Lu Yin frowned. What did he mean?
Did he mean that Lu Yin could be tempted to betray humans, or did someone in the Lu family betray humans?
"Alliance Master Lu, if you don't give me the item, he'll die," Bai Wushen said.
Lu Yin looked at the Second Nightking. At this moment, half of the man's body had melted, and his eyes were filled with despair and pleading. He was in great pain.
Lu Yin clenched his fists. "Let him go, and I'll give him to you."
"Alright, thank you. Alliance Master Lu, I don't like liars. If you lie to me, then he'll die," Bai Wushen said, and Bai Shan vanished.
The Second Nightking's melting speed also stopped, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood. He hovered unsteadily in the air, and when he looked down, he saw that half of his body was gone. He was in an extremely miserable state, but for a powerhouse like him, this was only a minor injury.
Lu Yin sighed.
This trip had been for nothing, but at least he still had a liquid bubble that he could get the Eternals to snatch from the Four Way Scales.
Just as he was about to take it out, the white world suddenly turned black, and streaks of black pierced through the white world. "Who's there?"
It was Wang Si's voice, and it was extremely cold. However, to Lu Yin, it sounded even more pleasant than Bai Wushen's voice.
No, Wang Si was here. What should he do?
Lu Yin's expression turned even uglier.
At that moment, the white lake suddenly surged from the side, and Lu Yin was sucked into the lake.
The next moment, streaks of black pierced through the white world. This was the Wang family's secret technique, Forbidden, which could be used to attack or trap.
Wang Si stepped into the white world, and her gaze turned cold. "Who are you?
A Half-Ancestor from the Abandoned Lands? "
The mountains and rivers within the white world smashed towards Wang Si, and she raised a hand to block them. However, Elder Ni Huang walked out from beside her with a solemn expression. She raised her right fist and punched out.
In all directions, the white mountains and rivers exploded, and even the white inner world began to crack.
Wang Si was shocked; this was the strength of Elder Ni Huang from the White Dragon Clan.
Rumor had it that the Half-Ancestors closest to the Progenitor realm were the Myriad Dao Clan's Ancestor and Elder Ni Huang.
She had thought that the gap between them was not that great, but that punch had made her feel it.
Great Elder Ni Huang had shattered her inner world with a single punch. That was an inner world, and from the looks of it, she had done so effortlessly.
As the inner world shattered, the white world quickly faded away.
Wang Si looked into the distance. "Trying to escape?"
She was about to attack again when she realized that Lu Yin was gone. However, before he disappeared, a terrifying wave swept towards the Cosmic Sea.
Ni Huang's expression changed. "What a familiar aura."
Wang Si could not find Bai Wushen, so she asked, "Who is it?"
She frowned. "If you want to know who it is, just ask him." She then looked at the Second Nightking.
The Second Nightking was in a miserable state. Half of his body had been melted, and Ni Huang's attack had also affected him, causing large wounds to appear on his body.
The Second Nightking despaired, as he had not expected to be in such a miserable state.
At first, he had hated Lu Yin, but later on, he had become numb to it. Now, he hated Lu Yin again. That bastard was gone without any injuries, but he was the unlucky one.
Ni Huang and Wang Si looked over.
The Second Nightking knew that he could not escape, so he slowly approached the two and bowed respectfully. "This junior is the Second Nightking. Greetings, seniors."
Wang Si was puzzled. "Nightking?
Why have I heard of this surname before? "
Ni Huang replied, "A servant of the Bai family from the Cold Immortal Sect."
"I remember now." Wang Si looked at the Second Nightking. "You were thrown into the wasteland by the Bai family." She then sized up the Second Nightking. "But you're not weak. You're only one step away from becoming a Half-Ancestor."
Ni Huang looked at the Second Nightking in astonishment. "A mere servant was able to reach such heights. Your influence in this wasteland must not be weak. Was that Half-Ancestor who attacked you?
Who was it? "
Even though Wang Si had been to the Fifth Mainland before, she did not know much about Lu Yin. She did not know that the Second Nightking was following Lu Yin, and not many people knew about the Second Nightking's existence.
