Lu Yin had sought out Ku Wei so that this lackey could scold others on his behalf. Only the Mist Ancestor's existence could completely suppress the arrogance of these Half-Ancestors. Their arrogance came from their very bones, from the Four Cardinal Scales, and from their ancestors, especially the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. But what about the Mist Ancestor?
He was of the same generation as their ancestor.
"If I tell you my identity, you'll have to kneel." The Mist Ancestor was indifferent.
Old Ghost Bai was bewildered. "Who are you?
Acting all mysterious. "
"Old White, do you want to die?"
Lu Yin suddenly spoke and looked at Old Whiteghost calmly.
Old Whiteghost stared at Lu Yin, his eyes flickering, "Are you threatening me?"
Lu Yin smiled. "I've already killed Marquis Green Bamboo and Marquis Wuyi, so I don't mind killing one more Half-Ancestor or even a few more.
Old Whiteghost's eyes narrowed, as he couldn't tell if Lu Yin was telling the truth or not. A demi-ancestor had a noble status, and even in the Cosmic Tree Realm, he would be considered a top figure. Old Whiteghost had never thought that he would die at the hands of a human.
Even after being imprisoned for half a year, he had never thought that Lu Yin would dare to kill him.
He was a Half Martial Ancestor of the Frigid Immortal Sect, backed by the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas and the Starry Sky of Trees. How dare this bastard from the Lu Clan kill him?
But when he saw Lu Yin's calm, devoid of killing intent, his heart sank. He had a feeling that this person would really kill him.
"If you kill me, the Frigid Immortal Sect won't let you and everyone around you go." All Old White could do was threaten.
Lu Yin smiled and clasped his hands behind his back. "If I don't kill you, will the Frigid Immortal Sect let me off?"
Old White Ghost's expression changed.
"You guys purposely formed an expeditionary force to kill me. How interesting. Only you are allowed to kill me, but I am not allowed to kill you. Do you think your threats are effective?"
Lu Yin remained calm with a faint smile on his face.
And this smile made Old Ghost Bai's heart turn cold.
For the first time, he felt a deep chill towards this young man in front of him. Previously, even when this young man could borrow Ancestor Chen's power to suppress them, he did not feel so cold.
"Actually, I don't have any questions for you. On the contrary, you should think of a way to survive," Lu Yin said before turning to leave.
What Xia De didn't know, Old White wouldn't know either. It was impossible for a Half-Martial Ancestor to interfere in the affairs of the Progenitor Realm, unless they were at Bai Xianer's level.
Although Old White Ghost was a Half Martial Ancestor, he was definitely not the most powerful person in the Cold Immortal Sect. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to this starry sky to hunt him down.
Xia De already had answers to many of his questions, and the only person he could look forward to was Ni Huang.
As the White Dragon Race's Grand Elder, an existence second only to the Progenitor Realm, he might know something.
The third person Lu Yin met was Ni Huang.
Facing this Grand Elder, Lu Yin actually found it difficult to deal with.
"I didn't think that the Fog Ancestor would still be alive. I'm now imprisoned, so I'm unable to pay my respects to senior," Great Elder Ni Huang said respectfully. She recognized the Fog Ancestor with a single glance.
The Mist Ancestor was puzzled. "You know me?"
Ni Huang's current appearance was not much better than Xia De's, and she looked rather miserable. However, this was only on the surface, as her injuries were even more severe than Xia De's, Old White Ghost's, and the others', because she was stronger, comparable to the Sect Masters of the twelve Elysium Gates.
"During the Daosource Sect's era, this junior accompanied the elders to greet Senior Fog Ancestor. At that time, senior was focused on his research, and we only met briefly before leaving. This junior remembers that the one who led us to senior's Mountainsea was senior's servant," Ni Huang replied respectfully.
Fog
The Fog Ancestor nodded and sized up Ni Huang. "The White Dragon Race was considered a relatively powerful race during our era, and it was related to the Ancestral Mang. You people have lived for a long time, but unfortunately, it's very difficult for you to produce any powerhouses, even if you are the only race that can approach the Ancestral Mang."
Ni Huang replied, "That's right. Actually, my White Dragon Race can now become one of the Four Scales in the Starry Sky of the Trees, and we are on equal footing with the Cold Immortal Sect, the Wang family, and the Xia family. We have to thank senior."
The Fog Ancestor's confusion.
Lu Yin was curious as well.
"Senior, although we only met briefly, you gave the elders of my White Dragon Race some pointers. It was also because of that pointers that the elders comprehended themselves and broke through to the Progenitor realm. The White Dragon Race will never forget senior's kindness," Ni Huang said gratefully. His four limbs were nailed to the wall, and the chains shook as he grew more and more emotional.
The Fog Ancestor waved a hand and reservedly replied, "It was just a few words of advice. There's no need to take it to heart."
"To senior, it was just a few words of advice, but to my White Dragon Race, it was the grace of a new lease on life." Ni Huang was moved.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth, as he was being treated as if he didn't exist. He glanced at the Fog Ancestor and saw that she was very pleased with herself. Speaking of which, if the Fog Ancestor had not broken through to the Progenitor realm, the White Dragon Race would not have been qualified to join forces with the Cold Immortal Sect and the others, and the Lu family might not have been exiled. Losing the White Dragon Race was not as simple as losing a Progenitor. The biggest reason for the Lu family's exile was the Ancestor Mang's revival, which was the White Dragon Race's doing. The more Lu Yin thought about it, the more depressed he felt. However, he did not dare to criticize the Fog Ancestor.
"Great Elder, Senior Fog Ancestor gave your White Dragon Race pointers, which allowed your White Dragon Race to have a Progenitor. However, your Progenitor turned against my Lu family and used the White Dragon Race's revival to banish the Lu family, allowing the Eternals to benefit. You really have repaid your senior well." Lu Yin did not dare to say anything to the Fog Ancestor, so he could only mock Ni Huang.
Ni Huang looked at Lu Yin. "This favor came from the Fog Ancestor, and it has nothing to do with the Lu family."
Lu Yin lowered his voice. "Since your White Dragon Race has received the Fog Ancestor's favor, then the Fog Ancestor would like to know something. How did you banish my Lu family back then?"
Ni Huang looked at the Fog Ancestor. "I'm sorry, senior. This junior is only a Half-Ancestor, and I really do not know how it was done. Even with our Half-Ancestors' abilities, we are not qualified to participate. However, this junior knows one thing: there is a traitor in the Lu family."
Lu Yin's eyes trembled, as he knew that there was a traitor. "Who is it?"
Ni Huang shook her head. "Why don't you ask Lu Zheng who it is? Oh, that's right, he should be called Bai Zheng now."
Bai Zheng?
Lu Yin suddenly recalled the person who had used the Ksitigarbha Needle when he had fused into Whitesage's body to attack the Cosmic Tree Expedition Army. Right, Yu Chen had also mentioned Bai Zheng's name, and that this person had asked her to be his maid.
No matter how Yu Chen's status had changed, she was still Bai Shaohong's maid. If this person could make her feel helpless and unable to refuse him, then his status in the Frozen Immortal Sect must be extraordinary.
"Who is this Bai Zheng?"
Lu Yin asked.
Ni Huang laughed. "Just a traitor. One of the traitors of your Lu family."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed as he stared at Ni Huang.
She looked up. "If you want to know, ask him yourself. He should be scared to death right now. Traitors like him are the most afraid of death."
Lu Yin's expression darkened as he turned to leave. He would not be able to obtain any more information from Ni Huang, but he still wanted to see Bai Zheng.
Ni Huang watched Lu Yin's departing figure with a helpless expression. She had not expected the Mist Ancestor to actually come out and follow this person. With the Mist Ancestor's protection, how could the Four Way Scales deal with him?
Here …
This person had unified the Ruined Lands and controlled the entire Human Domain, including the remnants of the Sixth Mainland. He controlled more than ten Half-Progenitors and countless human cultivators.
Now, even the Mist Ancestor was helping him. Even if the Four Way Scales did not have any external threats from the Eternals, it would not be easy to deal with this person.
How could he be so fast?
This person was clearly just an Emissary, so how could he be so powerful?
Lu Yin could not help but recall Long Quan's dying words. If only the White Dragon Tribe had not targeted him back then.
Lu Yin left Ni Huang's prison and took out Mount Supreme to release Yu Chen.
Yu Chen was at a loss when she was suddenly released, but before she could say anything, Lu Yin grabbed her and brought her to see Old Whiteghost.
Yu Chen was shocked. How could she not recognize Old Whiteghost? He was a Half-Progenitor! How could a Half-Progenitor be in such a miserable state?
"Did you see what happened to him?"
Lu Yin casually tossed Yu Chen onto the ground, his expression cold.
Ku Wei stepped forward and glared at her. "Woman, answer my master's questions. Otherwise, your fate will be much worse than that old man's."
The Mist Ancestor frowned. She did not like seeing a woman being bullied like this, but anyone who could cultivate to the Progenitor realm was no saint. She simply returned to the mirror and did not look.
Yu Chen took a deep breath, her face pale. She looked up at Lu Yin with fear in her eyes. "What do you want to ask?
I'll definitely tell you what I know. "
Ku Wei tactfully stood behind Lu Yin, as it was not his turn to speak.
Lu Yin looked down at Yu Chen, "Who's Bai Zheng?"
Yu Chen was not surprised, but she was still a little surprised. "You've even captured Old Whiteghost, but you still don't know Bai Zheng's identity?"
"I'll ask, and you'll answer." Lu Yin's tone was cold. This involved a traitor of the Lu family, and he was in a terrible mood. These Half-Progenitors had been captured, and he was getting closer to unraveling the truth behind the Lu family's banishment. However, he was not so close that he could find out the truth immediately.
Yu Chen closed her eyes and calmed herself down. "Bai Zheng's real name is Lu Zheng. He's Lu Xiaoxuan's attendant."
Even though he had guessed this, Lu Yin was still shocked when he heard this answer. His own attendant?
Yu Chen looked at Lu Yin. "He's your attendant. He betrayed the Lu family and joined the Frigid Immortal Sect. Although his position in the Lu family wasn't high, his position in the Frigid Immortal Sect was very high after his betrayal."
"How did he betray you?"
Lu Yin asked.
Yu Chen shook her head. "I really don't know. Even the Junior Ancestor doesn't know anything about the Lu family, let alone me. It's still unknown whether Old Whiteghost knows, but I'm guessing that it's unlikely."
"Tell me everything you know about Bai Zheng," Lu Yin said.
Yu Chen was bitter. "I've already told you everything I know, and I won't hide anything from you. Otherwise, you can just kill me."
Lu Yin frowned and walked closer to Yu Chen. He bent down to face her, and they were less than half a meter apart. He stared into her eyes, causing her to shiver.
"Do you know what your greatest value to me is?"
Lu Yin slowly asked.
Yu Chen's eyes flashed. "You can contact Bai Xianer."
Lu Yin nodded. "Yes, but that's not right. I don't necessarily need to contact Bai Xianer. I won't get anything from her, and I might even expose my location."
Yu Chen grew nervous and thought for a moment. "If you want to know about the Lu family, I can help."
Lu Yin straightened his back. "How?"
