"Earth might not look like much, but it's attracted a lot of people. I've been thinking about contacting you and letting you deal with it, but I'm not sure about that person. I don't plan on interacting with the Hidden Earth Society, and there are also those people with unknown origins," Zhou Shan said.
Lu Yin asked, "Where's that person?"
"His name is Yu Xiaohai. I didn't investigate his whereabouts, so I can only find out where he went through surveillance," Zhou Shan said, handing a map to Lu Yin. "This shows his tracks, and he's practically all over the world. He went to the ocean and underground."
Lu Yin looked at the map. Earth was very small, and a cultivator could easily cover it. Regardless of whether this person was Undying Yushan himself or someone under his control, he had indeed covered almost all of Earth. It was obvious that he was looking for something.
What was there on Earth that he was looking for?
Now that the Fifth Mainland was facing the invasion of the Eternals, Lu Yin had long since forgotten about Undying Yushan. He had not expected to see him on Earth.
"What should we do?"
Zhou Shan asked.
Lu Yin rubbed his head. If this person was Undying Yushan himself, then he could deal with him. He had two half-step Ancestors with him, so he could easily deal with him. However, if this person was not Undying Yushan himself, then dealing with him would be meaningless.
Besides, he really wanted to know what Undying Yushan was looking for.
"Don't worry about him. Just do what you did before," Lu Yin said.
Zhou Shan was in a difficult position. "I don't know how many people he's controlling through that ball of light. I've asked people to analyze it, and wherever he goes, people will behave strangely, especially at night, as if they can't control themselves. If this continues …"
Lu Yin raised a hand. "Don't worry, I know how he controls people. It won't be a problem. We just have to deal with him."
Hearing Lu Yin's words, Zhou Shan no longer insisted.
"You said that there might be people from the Neohuman Alliance on Earth?
Do you have any suspects? "
Lu Yin asked.
Zhou Shan replied, "It's just a guess. Even if there is, it's not a Corpse King. It's too easy to discover."
Lu Yin was depressed. Whether it was the Fifth Mainland or the Astral Tree Domain, there would always be people who sought refuge with the Eternals. Humans had desires, and they were intelligent creatures. The more intelligent a creature was, the more thoughts they had that could not be controlled.
He didn't know if there were any Eternals among the people he took away. In the previous battle, in order to prevent any traitors among the Half-Martial Ancestors, he didn't tell anyone about the Heaven Supporting Pillar. In the end, he didn't discover any traitors. Either there weren't any traitors, or the traitors were too well-hidden.
Only by completely wiping out the Eternals could humanity be saved. Even if there were people who sought refuge with the Eternals, the Eternals were gone, so they could only play their part.
Lu Yin chuckled bitterly, as even he was speechless. What he needed to do right now was to preserve his own life, and yet he was indulging in fantastical fantasies of wiping out the Eternals. It was simply too unrealistic.
And so, Lu Yin remained on Earth, preparing to leave via Jupiter if he could no longer resist the Eternals.
The Great Eastern Alliance began to set up defenses in the Solar System.
Half a month later, Lu Yin stood in outer space and stared ahead. Outside the Solar System, Ni Huang and the rest of the Astral Tree Expeditionary Force had appeared.
Compared to when they had first arrived at the Fifth Mainland, the current expeditionary force had been reduced by nearly half. More than half of the Envoys had been lost as well, and it looked extremely miserable. The Second Nightking was among them, following closely behind Old Whiteghost.
"What are you doing here?"
Lu Yin asked as he glanced at the Second Nightking.
Wang Si sneered. "To follow you, of course.
That's because we now know that you didn't take the same path as the other stowaways when you went to our region. "
Lu Yin frowned and stared coldly at the Second Nightking. "Did you tell them?"
Old Whiteghost stared at Lu Yin. "No one wants to die. Kid, just tell us how to get there. The Abandoned Lands can't hold out any longer, and this place will soon become the Eternals' territory. You don't want to be transformed into a Corpse King, do you?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Alright, I'll tell you." He then pointed at Jupiter. "It's that planet. Once you get there, you'll reach your region of space."
Ni Huang and the rest looked at Jupiter in disbelief. They had not expected Lu Yin to tell them so directly.
"You little bastard, are you toying with us?"
Wang Si's face darkened.
Lu Yin shrugged. "I've already told you, so there's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."
Old Whiteghost casually tossed someone towards Jupiter to scout the path.
That cultivator was a Cruiser, but once he got close to Jupiter, he could not enter.
Lu Yin had not been able to enter Jupiter either, as there was a layer of defense around the planet that even Enlighters could not enter.
That cultivator tried a few times, but after failing to enter, he retreated.
Ni Huang looked at Lu Yin. "You don't want us to leave?"
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. That's the path to the Astral Tree Domain, but most people can't enter. Right, I have to remind you not to force your way in. If the planet is destroyed, you won't be able to return."
"You little bastard, are you trying to scare us? Don't you want to leave yourself?"
Wang Si asked coldly.
Lu Yin looked at Wang Si with a cold expression. "Old bitch, one day, I'll knock out all your teeth."
Wang Si was furious and immediately attacked. Kui Luo immediately stood in front of Lu Yin while the Sage Heavenly Master stepped forward. In the distance, the Ancestral Turtle raised its head.
Ni Huang grabbed Wang Si. "Stop! Now's not the time for infighting."
Wang Si was enraged, and she glared at Lu Yin. "I'll grind your bones to dust and then throw you into the Red Garden, where you'll be lost forever."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. The Red Garden was a place that had given him a huge shock. The people imprisoned there were definitely members of the Lu family. "Old bitch, I'll let you have a taste of a thousand cuts."
"Enough, there's no need to waste your breath." Ni Huang interrupted Lu Yin and looked at him. "You have a deep grudge with us, and I won't deny it. If it's possible, we'll definitely deal with you, and you'll do your best to deal with us. We can't coexist, so why don't you tell us the way out of the Abandoned Wasteland? You can leave before we do, and it'll be better for everyone."
Lu Yin replied, "I've already told you that it's that planet. Believe it or not."
Ni Huang frowned. Given her temper, if not for the restrictions of the mind net and the threat of the Eternals, she would have slapped Lu Yin a long time ago. Even when the Lu family was at its peak, she would have been qualified to teach a lesson to a direct descendant.
"Is that planet really a passage?"
Xia De stepped forward helplessly to smooth things over. Of the four Half-Progenitors, he was the only one who could speak nicely to Lu Yin. Although the Xia family was also one of the Four Libras, Lu Yin had a good relationship with Xia Taili back in the Astral Tree Realm. Xia De himself was not as gloomy as Wang Si, Whitehead, and the others.
Lu Yin snorted. "I'll say it one last time. Yes, if you want to go in, know your limits. In any case, once that planet is destroyed, you'll all have to stay here and die with us." Jupiter's abnormality would be discovered sooner or later, so it was better to tell them directly.
。
"You don't want to leave?"
Wang Si mocked.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "When have the Lu family members ever been afraid of death?"
This left Wang Si and the others speechless. The Lu family members were indeed not afraid of death, but they still felt that something was off.
Kui Luo rolled his eyes. What did this have to do with being afraid of death?
They were two completely different things. This brat was getting better at spouting nonsense.
Ni Huang shook her head. "If you weren't afraid of death, then why did you escape from Dragon Mountain?"
Lu Yin stared at her. "You guys are really stupid."
Her expression changed slightly. "Junior, although we won't attack you because of the Eternals' threat, that doesn't mean that you can provoke us without restraint."
Lu Yin sneered. "Am I wrong?
I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about you. I'm talking about your White Dragon Tribe. "
Ni Huang did not understand. "Are you calling my White Dragon Tribe stupid?"
Lu Yin mocked, "If you hadn't joined them to force me to reveal my identity as Lu Xiaoxuan, I would still be Long Qi, apprenticed to Patriarch Mu Xie, learning lockbreaking from Jie Yuan's formation master, and using me to rope in the poor, your White Dragon Tribe would have surpassed the other three families. As for how to deal with me, that's your internal problem. I'm under your control, so you can deal with me however you want."
"But you guys foolishly exposed my identity at Dragon Mountain. Not only did you become a laughingstock, but you also lost the support that you could have gained by using me. If I were you, I would just die."
Ni Huang was furious, but Lu Yin's words happened to coincide with her thoughts.
Ever since Lu Yin had escaped from the Astral Tree Realm, he had often thought about how if he had not exposed Long Seven back then, even if he had known that Long Seven was a fake and that he was a stowaway, Long Seven would have been able to gather enough support to allow the White Dragon Clan to surpass the other three clans. Then, dealing with Long Seven would have been too easy.
Unfortunately, he had not thought so much back then. Now that he thought about it, he regretted it the most. What he regretted the most was what Long Quan had said before his death. They had made a mistake and lost a great opportunity.
Wang Si sneered. "Little brat, it's too late to try to drive a wedge between us. We'll settle our debt with you in the Cosmic Tree Realm. Let Wang Su and the others out first."
Although Lu Yin had released most of the people from the Cosmic Tree Realm, there were still some who had remained locked up. They were Wang Su, Wang Yi, Liu Shaoge, and the others.
Lu Yin was amused. "You think I'll let them go just because you say so?"
Xia De replied, "Kid, you're holding them hostage because you want to protect yourself in the Cosmic Tree Realm. How about this? My Xia family agrees that we won't do anything to you for the next hundred years.
How about we let Tai Li go? "
"Xia De, you want to let the remnants of the Lu family grow?
Don't forget about the stage! "Old Whiteghost barked.
Wang Si stared at Xia De as well.
Xia De ignored them and continued to look at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin nodded. "That's a very tempting offer, but consider it."
Ni Huang frowned. "My White Dragon Tribe can also give you a hundred years of peace. Let Long Xi go."
"We'll talk about it later," Lu Yin casually replied, his attitude infuriating her.
Xia De looked at Lu Yin deeply and then said to Ni Huang, "Senior, let's find a place to settle down. Lu Xiaoxuan will definitely leave, so we just have to keep an eye on him."
Ni Huang nodded. "Let's go."
The expeditionary army from the Cosmic Tree Realm decided to stay here and keep an eye on Lu Yin. As for Jupiter, whether they believed it or not, they did not want to investigate.
