Celestial Dou did not answer Lu Buzheng's question. Instead, he looked at Lu Yin, who was even further away. "If it weren't for the fact that there was a gap of twenty years and that you were definitely dead, my Specter Clan would never have joined Jueyi."
"There's no point in saying this now. You colluded with Hei Wushen, so this is what you deserve."
"How can you be so sure that I'm colluding with Hei Wushen? Ever since the battle for the Star Tower and the Mountain and Sea Realm exploded, Hei Wushen left the Fifth Mainland and was isolated outside the Starfall Sea. He didn't come in at all. You've wrongly accused me," Tiandou said coldly.
Lu Buzheng and the others looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin frowned. "Since you've been wrongly accused, then you should surrender. I will not allow you to be wrongly accused, and many of the Half-Ancestors here will not allow you to be wrongly accused either. Come back with me to investigate."
Celestial Dou was bitter. If he went back with him, would he still be able to come out?
He had indeed colluded with Hei Wushen. He had only said that because he wanted to know who had attacked him, controlled him, and made him lose his memories. He really wanted to find that person.
Based on the reactions of these Half-Martial Ancestors, the person controlling him was either Lu Yin or someone related to Lu Yin.
He wouldn't believe that Lu Yin could control him even if he was beaten to death. Lu Yin was just an Emissary, and he might be invincible in the Human Domain with the help of Progenitor Chen's strength. But in the Astral Wilderness, he could kill Lu Yin without the help of these few half-step Ancestors.
When he saw Celestial Dou look over, Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he took out a mirror. "Senior, do you want to come out and take a look?"
The mirror didn't respond. The Mist Ancestor was studying the Blood Refinement Technique.
"Which senior did you get your information from?"
Kui Luo was curious. He had always wanted to find out where Lu Yin's information had come from, but even they couldn't find any traces of Hei Wushen and Tian Dou. Where did Lu Yin's information network come from?
If it came from the Mist Ancestor, then that was not impossible. After all, it was the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas.
When Heaven Dou heard Kui Luo's words, he was shocked. Even Kui Luo, a Half Martial Ancestor expert who was almost on par with the Elysium Sect Master, called him senior?
It was definitely that person. It was that person who had attacked him. Otherwise, in the entire universe, who could control him unknowingly?
After finding the answer, he stared at the mirror in Lu Yin's hand. "Who is this senior you're talking about?
Even if you want me to die, you should at least let me know why. "
When he heard Celestial Dou's words, Lu Yin's expression changed, and he suddenly put the mirror away. "Attack. He's testing me. He's confident in escaping."
Kui Luo was the first to attack. He unleashed a blast of quintessence, energy, and soul, but didn't use his inner world. That required astral sources, and what they lacked the most, was astral sources.
Lu Yin's warning had been quick, and Kui Luo had acted quickly as well. However, Celestial Dou had not been slow either.
Kui Luo's spiritual force bombarded his brain again, making him feel as if his brain was about to explode. His vision blurred. He raised his left arm high, and the deathly aura around him suddenly disappeared. Immediately after, an incomparably terrifying force swept out in all directions with Celestial Dou as the center, shaking the starry sky.
The expressions of Lu Buzheng and the others changed as they looked at Tiandou. What they saw was no longer the peak Emissary of the Specter Clan, but a huge black shadow that looked like a sect above the heavens. It raised the Gou Lian high up and slashed at them.
"Death God?"
Lu Buzheng blurted out and his expression changed.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. What's this?
The Gou Lian slashed horizontally, bringing with it an unimaginably shocking force.
This horizontal slash gave everyone the feeling that it was unavoidable and unstoppable. This was a destructive power that surpassed that of a Half-Martial Ancestor, and the feeling it gave them was similar to when Lu Yin had borrowed the power of Progenitor Chen to trample the stars in the Human Domain. It was so magnificent and so … invincible.
At this moment, no one could react.
They could only watch as the deathly aura Gou Lian slashed horizontally. No matter what methods or external objects they used, they all seemed insignificant before this force, like mayflies trying to shake a tree.
Celestial Dou's attack shook the stars. It seemed earth-shattering, but when its power reached the crowd, it disappeared into thin air. All they saw was a squarish building that looked like a stone house flying into the distance.
Everyone was still immersed in the Death God's power and had yet to react.
Only one thread approached from afar, piercing into the black stone house. "I thought that the Death God had appeared. Stay here!" It was the voice of the Life Maiden.
They weren't the only ones who had come; the Life Maiden had come as well. Otherwise, there would be no one to lead the way. However, she hadn't made a move and had stayed far away.
Lu Yin hadn't understood, but now he understood. The Life Maiden must have divined something, which was why she hadn't approached. Had Celestial Dou's attack been unable to unleash its full power, or had it been weakened?
The Life Maiden's attack had still been unable to stop the black stone house. The thread of fate had been severed by Celestial Dou's raised left arm, shocking the Life Maiden.
However, the Life Maiden had managed to obstruct Celestial Dou for a moment.
That moment was enough.
Lu Yin used the Plan Secret Art and appeared outside the black stone house, separated from Celestial Dou by a single wall. This wall had obstructed the Life Maiden and severed the thread. He should have been able to escape with Celestial Dou, and he was confident that he could do so until he saw a slipper. A slipper?
The others also stared blankly at Lu Yin's raised … a slipper?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Lu Yin swung the slipper down, causing ripples in space. It was as if the universe was a mirror, and the mirror shattered along with the black stone house. As for Celestial Dou, he immediately fainted.
The heavens were silent. This scene was too unexpected, and it overturned everyone's understanding.
No matter who it was that had cultivated from an ordinary person to a Half-Ancestor, they had experienced many years and seen many strange things. However, this scene was something that they had never even dreamed of.
A slipper had shattered the black stone house that even the Life Maiden had been unable to restrain and had even knocked Celestial Dou unconscious. This had to be a joke!
Lu Yin coughed. "Take it away."
Only then did everyone react as if they had just woken up from a dream. They looked at Lu Yin with incomprehensible gazes and that slipper.
Even Silver, who had been smiling all this time, was stunned.
Lu Yin knew how much of a shock he had brought to them. In fact, this was the first time he had used a slipper in such a formal setting, and he wasn't used to it. However, he would slowly get used to it in the future.
"Kid, that's a slipper, right?" Kui Luo wasn't sure. Even though he liked to pry into secrets, knew all sorts of strange things, and was even good at making up stories, he had never thought that he would one day see such a strange thing. There were even five black toe prints on it.
Lu Yin put away the slipper. "No."
"Are you sure?"
Kui Luo was puzzled.
Lu Buzheng looked at Lu Yin. "That's a slipper."
Jiu Yao nodded. "It's a slipper."
"It's definitely a slipper," the Medicine Immortal said.
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Have you ever seen such a terrifying slipper?
It's just an external object that looks like a slipper, that's all. "
The Life Maiden spoke up. "An external object with the power of a Progenitor?"
"It does look like a slipper," Lu Yin corrected her. He then looked at the unconscious Celestial Dou floating in outer space. "Luckily, I didn't use too much force, or else I would have killed him." He then glanced at Silver.
Silver raised his head again.
He smiled and grabbed Celestial Dou. "Captain, we can go back now."
Lu Yin ignored the strange gazes of the others and headed towards the Outerverse.
The other Half-Ancestors looked at each other and then headed towards the Above Heaven Sect. There was no need for so many Half-Ancestors to deal with Celestial Dou; they had only acted to deal with Hei Wushen.
However, the strength that Celestial Dou had displayed had shocked them. How could a peak Emissary be so powerful?
This was something that they could not comprehend, so they had to follow him.
Even the Life Maiden followed.
In the Above Heaven Sect, Celestial Dou was tossed into a gloomy underground prison by Silver. "Captain, do you need my help?"
Lu Yin waved a hand. Not only Silver, but everyone else was not allowed to enter. He wanted to enter Celestial Dou's body again to examine his memories.
After confirming that there was no one else around, Lu Yin approached within five meters of Celestial Dou. This was the ability of his die, and as long as he was absorbed once, he could enter within five meters of Celestial Dou to examine his memories at any time.
There was no need to interrogate Celestial Dou, as this person's will was too firm. Lu Yin would not believe him even if he tried.
The next moment, intense pain spread throughout his body, and Lu Yin opened his eyes. His body was numb, but the pain still stimulated his nerves. Celestial Dou was awake, but pretending to be unconscious was useless against Lu Yin. As long as Lu Yin got within five meters of him, it did not matter how strong Celestial Dou was.
Lu Yin was now most curious about Celestial Dou's left arm, and how he had been able to unleash such a terrifying attack. Celestial Dou was only an Emissary, and if that attack had truly exploded with power, even the Half-Ancestors present would not have been able to survive.
Soon enough, Celestial Dou's memories flooded in, and Lu Yin suddenly looked up.
…
"Stop pretending. You're awake." A calm voice traveled to Celestial Dou's ears, but he did not move and remained sprawled on the ground.
Lu Yin was five meters away from him, looking down at him from above. "I believe that you were sincere when you joined me, but your motives were too strong. Joining Jueyi was also sincere, and joining the Eternals is also the same. Your sincerity is too much, Celestial Dou."
Celestial Dou still did not move.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "What are you waiting for?
Are you waiting for your injuries to recover?
There are at least six Half-Ancestors outside. You won't be able to escape. "
"Of course, if you can successfully control the death energy with your left arm, those Half-Ancestors won't be able to stop you. But you're in the Human Domain right now. Do you think that the Grim Reaper's Left Arm can withstand Progenitor Chen's power?"
Celestial Dou's eyes widened, and he stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. "You?
How did you know? "
Lu Yin sighed. "Your left arm belongs to the Grim Reaper. I never thought that your Specter Clan's longest and most precious inheritance would be the Grim Reaper's Left Arm. If your cultivation wasn't so low, and if you were a Half-Ancestor, then you would be invincible against anyone below the Progenitor realm with the Grim Reaper's Left Arm. Even against a Progenitor like the Blood Progenitor, you would be able to easily retreat.
Celestial Dou's gaze suddenly changed. "It's you. You're the one who controlled me. You're the one who made that blank memory in the Grim Reaper's force field. You were the one who replaced me at that time."
Lu Yin smiled. "That's right. It was me."
Celestial Dou would never have guessed that it was Lu Yin. He had assumed that it was the mirror, and that the person whom Kui Luo had addressed as' senior 'was actually Lu Yin.
"How did you do it?
How could you control me?
And you couldn't have known where I was at that time. You should have been in the Human Domain. "Celestial Dou did not understand. He was confused and indignant. He could not figure out what had happened.
