Yu Chen seriously replied, "There's a place in the Frigid Immortal Sect that contains secrets. I'll think of a way to help you see what's inside."
Lu Yin laughed. "Since it's a secret, do you think you have the right to do so?"
Yu Chen was helpless. "I definitely don't have the right, but since you want to know something, you definitely won't give up. You have your plans, and I can be your spy. Even if I die, you should let me play my part. Besides, I don't want to die."
"Why should I trust you?"
Lu Yin stared at her.
Yu Chen opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. That's right, why should Lu Yin trust her?
"I don't know why, but you must go to the Astral Trees. Aside from investigating the Lu family, there's also the Red Garden and the Star Alliance. These are all things that you need to do."
Lu Yin's finger twitched. The Red Garden, the Red Garden. That's right, I'll definitely go there. I'll bring everyone out, as they're all from the Lu family.
Lu Yin put Yu Chen away and walked towards another prison, where the expeditionary force from the Astral Trees was imprisoned.
"Master, did you not see Xia Ji and the others?"
Ku Wei asked.
Lu Yin did not answer, as his thoughts were complicated. Not long after, he saw a group of people being imprisoned. It was much easier to imprison them since they were not Half-Ancestors.
Lu Yin saw them, and they saw him as well.
Within the Frigid Immortal Sect, Stoneheart looked at Lu Yin calmly.
Elder Xing, Elder Green Apricot, and the others did not show much emotion either. Only one person was cowering in a corner, not daring to look outside.
Lu Yin stared at him and barked, "Get over here!" The person in the corner trembled and curled up even more.
Elder Xing stood up with a cold expression. "What are you trying to do, Lu family's son?"
Ku Wei stepped forward and glared at Elder Xing. "Old thing, what can you ask my master about?
Even Old Whitehead knelt before him. Who do you think you are? "
Elder Xing was furious. "Impudent! How can a Half-Ancestor kneel? Nonsense!"
Ku Wei raised his head. "Who isn't afraid of death? My master controls the universe and rules over the entire human race. Even a Progenitor is nothing, let alone a mere Half-Ancestor."
Elder Xing was furious, and he pointed at Ku Wei but could not say anything.
The other members of the Cold Immortal Sect glared at Ku Wei, wishing they could eat him alive.
Lu Yin stared at the person curled up in the corner. "I'll say it again. Get over here."
In the corner, the person's body trembled, and he slowly raised his head to meet Lu Yin's gaze. In that instant, time seemed to flow, and he saw that high-spirited youth waving at him. "Come, Young Master has good food."
"Why are you so useless?
Wasn't it just memorizing books?
Young Master, let me teach you. "
"Eh? You were beaten up?
Young Master will avenge you. "
"Idiot, that's not how to use the Ksitigarbha Needle. I'll definitely teach you. That way, you won't be bullied again, and I'll have some face. You're my errand boy. In the future, I'll be invincible in the universe, and the Seven Heroes will be peerless. You have to keep up with me, or at least become a patriarch."
His words echoed in the young master's mind, causing the man in the corner to feel even more terrified. His eyes lost focus. "I won't go out, I won't go out, I can't go out, young master will kill me. I won't go out, I won't go out …"
Everyone stared at the man in the corner as if he had gone mad.
Shi Xin was disdainful; he had known Lu Zheng for a long time. He had seen this errand boy when he had challenged Lu Xiaoxuan, one of the Seven Heroes. He had seemed innocent and naive, but he was actually ambitious. Now, he had suffered the consequences of his own actions.
Crack.
The prison door opened with a click.
Ku Wei was alarmed. "Master, be careful!" He was afraid that the people inside would attack Lu Yin.
But he was overthinking things. Even if Old Whiteghost had been at his peak, he wouldn't have been able to pose any threat to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin walked past the Frigid Immortal Sect disciples, past Shi Xin, and past Elder Xing.
Elder Xing clenched his fists even harder, but in the end, he loosened them.
Lu Yin walked to the corner and looked down at the man.
"Raise your head," he said in a low voice.
The man in the corner trembled even more and lowered his head even more. "No, I won't go out, young master will kill me. I've let him down, and I've let down the Lu family. I won't go out!"
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, and he grabbed the man's hair and lifted him up. The man was terrified and instinctively attacked, but he was only at the first Tribulation Origin realm. He couldn't even fight back against Lu Yin, and Lu Yin pressed him against the wall.
At that moment, Lu Yin saw the man's face clearly. It was indeed him, the same person who had used the Ksitigarbha Needle when he had merged with Sage Whiteghost's body and killed Wang Yun.
"Lu Zheng." Lu Yin gritted his teeth, his gaze icy.
Lu Zheng stared at Lu Yin in fear, his pupils dilating as his face went pale. "Young Master, young master!"
Lu Yin flung him away and smashed him into a corner.
Lu Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood, clutched his stomach, and curled up again.
Elder Xing couldn't help but step forward to stop Lu Yin.
Lu Yin turned around and stared coldly at Elder Xing.
Elder Xing was a seventh Tribulation Origin expert, but he suddenly stopped and didn't step forward. Lu Yin's gaze made him shiver, and he had a feeling that he didn't dare to approach. If he did, he would die without a doubt.
The rest of the Frozen Immortal Sect cultivators kept quiet out of fear, not daring to make a sound.
Lu Yin looked down at Lu Zheng. "Do you still remember me?
Lu Zheng. "
Lu Zheng spat out a mouthful of blood that splashed all over his face and blurred his vision. Everything he saw was red. "Young Master, young master!"
Lu Yin couldn't remember anything from the past, but when he looked at Lu Zheng's face, familiar voices echoed in his head. "Young Master, slow down, wait for me." "Young Master, Third Young Master Nong is looking for you." "Young Master, that Tu Qiming is here again. He's shameless and wants to follow you." "Young Master, can I learn the Ksitigarbha Needle?
The family will kill me. "" Young Master … "
The words "Young Master" echoed in his ears. Lu Yin looked at Lu Zheng's face and felt even more disgusted. "You still remember me?
Lu Zheng. "
Lu Zheng was terrified and trembled. "Young … Young Master, don't kill me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die! It was him! He forced me to do this, young master!"
Lu Yin shouted, "Who?
Who forced you to do this? "
Lu Zheng coughed up blood. "Madman! That madman! He forced me to do this!"
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "Speak clearly."
Suddenly, Lu Zheng's eyes widened. "It's all your fault, Lu Xiaoxuan! It's all your fault! You didn't find me! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been captured by that madman and suffered so much! It's all your fault! You only had eyes for that woman and never thought of finding me! It's all your fault!"
Lu Yin looked at Lu Zheng's crazy curses and didn't stop him, allowing him to continue.
"It's all your fault! You didn't find me! I was tortured by that madman for so long, and you had to suffer the same pain as me! Madman, madman!" Lu Zheng cursed, crying and laughing at the same time. "The Lu family is gone! Hahaha! Lu Xiaoxuan, you're dead! That woman tricked you and everyone else!
I'll join the Han Immortal Sect! I want to take that madman as my master! "He suddenly knelt down with a pious expression." Please accept me as your disciple! I beg you, I'm also a member of the Lu family! I want to learn the Lu family's visualization technique and everything about the Lu family! I want everything that Lu Xiaoxuan has! "
"Please accept me! I want the Lu family to regain its glory! My Lu family! Isn't that what you want as well?"
The surrounding cultivators from the Frigid Immortal Sect watched Lu Zheng's strange actions and felt a chill run down their spines. It was as if they had seen a ghost.
Lu Yin had seen this scene before.
In the Astral Combat Academy, he had touched the Stargazing Deck and triggered fate. Yes, that youth kneeling on the ground was Lu Zheng, and he had seen this scene before. Lu Zheng was taking someone as his master, and besides Lu Zheng, there was also a broken cauldron. That person had to be a direct descendant of the Lu family. Madman?
There was a madman in the Lu family?
Suddenly, Lu Yin thought back to the person he had seen while traveling through spacetime. That person was the one who had met the Ancient God and been seen by Elder Chan. Could that person be that madman?
"There's no one left in the Lu family. I, Lu Zheng, am a member of the Lu family. I, Lu Zheng, represent the Lu family, and I will definitely inherit the Lu family's glory in the future. I, Lu Zheng, am the Lu family …" Lu Zheng kept muttering to himself, as if he had gone mad. No, he had indeed gone mad.
Lu Yin looked at Lu Zheng, whose eyes were filled with madness. The painful memories combined with his crazed desires had caused his thoughts to go crazy, and he had truly become a madman.
Elder Xing shook his head helplessly; he had seen people like this before. Some people pursued things that they could never obtain, but still desired them immensely. Once they obtained something, they would go crazy, and after being frightened by Lu Xiaoxuan, they would go completely insane.
"He's really gone mad," the Fog Ancestor said as he appeared and looked at Lu Zheng.
Lu Yin quietly watched Lu Zheng kneel on the ground, muttering to himself with a crazed look in his eyes. He sighed, raised his hand, and slapped down.
Bang!
A crisp sound rang out, and Lu Zheng's body fell to the ground. Even in death, the crazed look in his eyes didn't fade.
His death wasn't painful, as he was still trying to take that madman as his master. He was trying to restore the Lu family's glory, his Lu family's glory.
No one sympathized with Lu Zheng's death, even though he had betrayed the Lu family because of the Frigid Immortal Sect.
However, Lu Yin felt that it was a pity; he didn't know who the madman was.
Lu Yin left the prison and ordered someone to take care of Lu Zheng's corpse.
"What are you going to do with us?"
Elder Xing asked, and all of the Frigid Immortal Sect cultivators looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin didn't answer and simply left.
Shi Xin's gaze was complicated; this person was Lu Xiaoxuan, but also not Lu Xiaoxuan.
Lu Yin had originally planned to meet Xia Ji and Wang Si, but Lu Zheng's death had left him with a heavy heart.
"Master, why don't I bring those two old things to you?"
Ku Wei asked.
Lu Yin waved his hand and stepped out of the Above Heaven Sect. With another step, he arrived on Earth.
He appeared on the road to Jinling, where he had killed a few people. It was also where he had first met Zhou Shan. Now, the road had completely changed, and he couldn't recognize its original appearance.
