Elder You and the rest had ugly expressions. They were no longer thinking about whether or not Big Sis was the Netherworld Ancestor, but rather that the Yōu Secret was gone. They had been so focused on the Netherworld Ancestor's identity that they had forgotten that the Yōu Secret that had been passed down through the You family for generations was gone, and the person who had taken it didn't even acknowledge them.
"If you're not our ancestor, then please return the Yōu Secret to our family," You Kexin said coldly as she stared at Big Sis.
You Keyan immediately shouted, "Kexin, don't spout nonsense."
You Kexin fearlessly stared back at Big Sis.
Big Sis teased and suddenly raised a hand to touch You Kexin's chin. You Kexin subconsciously backed away and stared at her warily.
"Little brat, you're quite bold. What if I don't return it?"
Big Sis teased.
Lu Yin was speechless. She must have learned this pirate style from Leon's Great War.
You Kexin was furious, and her face flushed red.
Elder You coughed to attract Big Sis's attention, "There's no lack of people who have tried to steal our family's secret technique, but those who don't have our bloodline can't inherit it. This is a secret technique that is passed down through bloodline. Whether or not you're the Netherworld Ancestor, we all have the same bloodline."
Big Sis sneered, "So you're blaming me."
Lu Yin couldn't stand it any longer. The You family had already lowered their attitude, and the Yōu Secret had just been taken away. Lu Yin felt like Big Sis was bullying them.
"Big Sis, are you sure they're not you- not the Netherworld Ancestor's descendants?"
Big Sis replied, "If I say they're not, then they're not. I'm still a virgin, so how could I have descendants?"
"Me too," the Fog Ancestor's voice sounded from behind.
Lu Yin was speechless. How could she even respond to this?
The Fog Ancestor looked at the group, "The higher one's cultivation, the more they can sense it. If she really has the same bloodline as you, then she should have been able to sense it. You two indeed have different origins."
"Then how do you explain how she could have stolen the Yōu Secret?"
You Keyan asked.
The Fog Ancestor replied, "A bloodline inheritance is just an inheritance that contains the power of an ancestor. It's on another level, such as the Progenitor realm. An even stronger power can suppress it, but that doesn't prove that she has the same bloodline as your family."
"Senior, you look familiar. Have we met before?"
Senior You looked at the Fog Ancestor and asked. Ever since he stepped into the You family, the Fog Ancestor hadn't appeared.
You Keyan and You Kexin both looked at the Fog Ancestor. "He does look familiar."
Big Sister sneered, "You want to curry favor with him again?
He was the Fog Ancestor. What, did he want to be the Fog Ancestor's descendant?
She's still a virgin, don't ruin her reputation. "
The Mist Ancestor deeply agreed.
"Fog Ancestor?
Fog Ancestor Xi Wei? "
Old You exclaimed.
The Mist Ancestor was astonished. "You actually know my name?"
Elder You was excited. "It really is the Fog Ancestor! Junior greets the Fog Ancestor!"
"Greetings, Fog Ancestor." You Keyan and You Kexin both knelt down.
Big Sister was unhappy. "Hey, you guys aren't even this excited when you see your own ancestors. What's the meaning of this?
Are you looking down on your ancestors? "
Lu Yin pursed his lips, as he understood what Elder You and the others were thinking. The Fog Progenitor was one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas from the Daosource Sect's era, and there was no need to verify that he had truly existed. However, the Netherworld Progenitor was too ancient, and even if he was one of Lu Yin's own ancestors, it still felt unreal.
It wasn't just Big Sister who didn't acknowledge them; even they didn't dare to believe that the Netherworld Progenitor existed.
It was just like how the shock of seeing Elder Chan in a video could not compare to the shock of seeing the World Mountain's Chief in real life.
However, it felt like a dream.
"How do you guys know me?"
The Mist Ancestor was puzzled.
Elder You looked up excitedly. "My You family has a portrait of you, Senior Fog Ancestor."
The Mist Ancestor was shocked. "You have a portrait?
Let me see. "
Elder You was embarrassed. "Um, the portrait was damaged when the family moved."
The Mist Ancestor rolled his eyes.
"Who drew it?
Your You family's ancestor? "
Lu Yin asked.
Elder You replied, "Yes, her name is You Xiaojing."
You Xiaojing?
Lu Yin looked at the Mist Ancestor; they had just talked about her not too long ago.
The Mist Ancestor nodded. "So it was her. Why did she draw my portrait?"
Elder You replied, "We don't know, but the portrait has always been preserved. If the Eternals hadn't invaded and forced our entire family to move to the Glory Realm, many things wouldn't have been damaged. Later on, Progenitor Chen's tomb was occupied by the Three Ultimates Heaven's Gate."
"That woman probably drew my portrait for no good reason," the Mist Ancestor muttered to himself.
You Kexin looked at the Mist Ancestor with a pleading gaze. "Senior, please help my You family out of respect for Progenitor Xiaojing."
Big Sister raised a brow.
The Mist Ancestor looked at Big Sister and then back at You Kexin. "She should be the Netherworld Progenitor, but she's right. You guys don't share the same bloodline. This is between you two, and I can't interfere."
Elder You's expression turned ugly, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin felt embarrassed. The You family had warmly welcomed him, but he had first snatched the You family's secret symbol. Now, Big Sister didn't acknowledge these descendants, which made it seem like he had come specifically to bully the You family.
"You guys leave first. We have something to say," Lu Yin said.
You Kexin looked at Big Sister unwillingly.
Big Sister's lips curled up, and she hooked her finger at You Kexin. What an interesting girl. "Let me tell you something. Marry this brat, and we'll be family. Who cares if we share the same bloodline?"
You Kexin was furious.
Elder You was helpless, and he left with You Kexin, You Kexin, and the unconscious Yōu Ye'er. Times were different now, and the Seven Courts no longer dominated the Neoverse's Southern Border. Even if the Seven Courts had still been around, they still couldn't compare to Lu Yin, and even Xia Ji had been imprisoned.
They were now living under someone else's roof.
After the You family members left, Lu Yin looked at Big Sister helplessly. "Big Sister, even if we don't share the same bloodline, can't you be more tactful with your words? You took the You family's secret technique, and it was passed down through their entire family."
Big Sister didn't care. "It's best if you make things clear. Don't blame me when the time comes."
"Then have you thought about why they were able to inherit the You Secret Symbol?
Perhaps their ancestor was someone you trusted the most, or perhaps even a disciple. That's why they were able to inherit the You Secret Symbol. "
"It's also possible that the disciple betrayed Master and stole the You Secret Symbol," the Mist Ancestor added.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. He wasn't helping the You family, but these people looked like widows and orphans. Elder You wouldn't be able to live for much longer, and he was a little pitiful. Furthermore, he was also considered one of Lu Yin's people.
Back then, the Seven Courts should have been a colossus, but they had always been watched by a pair of eyes. That was the power of the evil scripture. Now that that power had been removed, the You Secret Symbol was also gone. They had been unlucky from start to finish.
"Little Seven, do you feel that the You family is pitiful?
Or have you taken a fancy to some girl?
How about this? Take away whoever you like, and I'll admit that they're my descendants. Since they're my descendants, they'll have to listen to me. Let alone one, I can even give you all of the You family's women. They'll all be yours, "Big Sister suddenly teased.
The Mist Ancestor was interested.
He looked at Lu Yin with interest.
Lu Yin was speechless, as he was often at a loss for words in front of Big Sister. "Big Sister, I'll take care of this myself."
"Hmph, it's been so many years, but I haven't raised a boy. Let me tell you, the captain has been thinking about you. He said that if you can't wait, he'll personally help you and order all the pirates in the universe to help you find a girl you like."
Lu Yin blinked. How could something like that happen?
"Finding a girl is a good thing, and I'll help." The Mist Ancestor smiled.
Lu Yin waved his hand. "Alright, let's cut the crap." He then looked at Big Sister seriously. "Big Sister, have you recovered a portion of the Netherworld Ancestor's power, or have you become the Netherworld Ancestor?
Do you have any memories of the Netherworld Ancestor? "
At this point, Big Sister also became serious. "After absorbing the You Secret Symbol, I indeed seemed to have become a different person. Now, this body's condition has stabilized, and there won't be any changes. Although I don't have the Netherworld Ancestor's memories, I naturally understand many things. For example, the You family isn't my descendant, and the evil scripture has entered my body."
"So you're both the Netherworld Ancestor and not the Netherworld Ancestor," the Mist Ancestor muttered.
Big Sister nodded.
Lu Yin felt that it was a pity. "I wanted to know more about the Netherworld Ancestor and see what happened during that era. What a pity."
Big Sister suddenly said, "Although I don't have any memories, there are two words in my mind that are very, very deep. They're so deep that I'll remember them even if I turn into ashes."
Lu Yin and the Mist Ancestor stared at her.
Big Sister solemnly said, "Primeval."
Lu Yin was confused. "Primeval?"
"Primeval City," the Mist Ancestor answered with a solemn expression.
Lu Yin recalled that Mister Mu had mentioned Primeval City before. He had said that Lu Yin was the disciple that Mister Mu was most satisfied with, and that he might be able to enter Primeval City one day and stand shoulder to shoulder with some others.
"What's Primeval City?"
Lu Yin asked.
Big Sister didn't understand. "I only remember the words' Primeval, 'but I don't know anything about Primeval City. I don't have any recollection of those words."
The Mist Ancestor recalled, "The first time I heard about Primeval City was from Senior Lu Tianyi, but he only mentioned those three words and didn't say anything else. At that time, I was still a Half-Ancestor, and when I became an Ancestor and became one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, the second time I heard about Primeval City was from Old Fu."
"Old Fu?"
Lu Yin asked.
The Mist Ancestor nodded. "Old Fu said that we might meet again in Primeval City one day, and then he left. I asked him, but he didn't say anything. Later on, I asked the others, including Xia Shang and Ku Jie, but they didn't say anything either, but they should know. As for Wang Fan, Bai Wangyuan, and even Huiwen, I asked them, but they didn't seem to know anything."
"The last time I heard about Primeval City was from that Eternal Corpse King that I tortured to death." The Mist Ancestor's expression became much more solemn. "Actually, I was curious about Primeval City, but I didn't pay it much attention. They didn't say anything, so I didn't ask. What really made me think about Primeval City was that Corpse King. Before he died, he said something."
The Mist Ancestor had a complicated expression. "'You're lucky that you don't have to go to Primeval City.' Those were his last words."
Lu Yin was curious. "Is Primeval City a city?"
The Mist Ancestor shook her head, as she didn't know either. "From its name, it should be a city."
