Lu Yin frowned as he looked at Xia Zhitong. If he really was Young Master Yu, he would have slapped this woman to death. How disgusting.
Xia Zhitong looked at Lu Yin with bright, infatuated eyes.
She liked Yu Hao for no other reason than his face. He was more handsome than any man she had ever met. Even without the Xia family's schemes, she would have thought of a way to marry into Yucheng and obtain Yu Hao.
Unfortunately, because of the Xia family's schemes, she had been forced to anger the old city lord to death, causing Yu Hao to lose his mind and go missing. She often regretted not capturing Yu Hao. Even if he had gone crazy, his face was still handsome and attractive. He was much better than anyone else.
Thankfully, he had returned.
Xia Zhitong's lips curled up in a mesmerizing smile. She took off her clothes in front of all the guards and walked over. "You're back."
Lu Yin was stunned. He knew what kind of person Xia Zhitong was, but this was too brazen.
The surrounding guards gulped and stared at Xia Zhitong's body. They wanted nothing more than to pounce on her.
Lu Yin watched as Xia Zhitong walked in front of him and tried to hug him, but he couldn't take it anymore. "Eye Language."
As soon as he spoke, the surrounding guards all fell to the ground. Xia Zhitong's body was flung away by a huge force and smashed into the ground. She was stunned and didn't know what had happened. A cloth fell down and covered her.
Eye Language walked out and stood beside Lu Yin.
Lu Yin exhaled and stood up. He walked over to Xia Zhitong and looked down at her. "You haven't changed even after so many years."
Only then did Xia Zhitong realize that Eye Language hadn't been too harsh on her. This woman was still useful.
"You, you dare to hit me?"
Xia Zhitong was stunned.
Lu Yin laughed. "How interesting. You angered my father to death and made Yucheng the biggest joke in the Astral Tree Realm. I, Yu Hao, didn't dare to look at anyone and even tried to commit suicide. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet my master, I would have died. Tell me, would I have attacked you?"
Xia Zhitong's face darkened. "Yu Hao, do you know what you're saying?
You dare to attack me? I'm Xia Zhitong, a member of the Xia family and Shenwu Plane. "
"So what?" Lu Yin retorted.
Xia Zhitong glared at Lu Yin. "You're provoking Shenwu Plane and my Xia family. Do you know the consequences?
With just a word from me, your grandfather will die in the Star Alliance. As long as I'm willing, I can slaughter the entire Jade City and let your name go down in history in infamy. I can even order the rewriting of Jade City's history and consign your Yu Family to eternal damnation. You know that I can do it. "
Lu Yin nodded. "I believe you, but you wouldn't dare."
Xia Zhitong was so angry that she laughed. "I don't dare?
Yu Hao, who do you think you are?
If it wasn't for your skin, I would've tortured you to death long ago. If you dare lay a hand on me, the Xia Family won't let you off. Every move I make here will be reported to the Xia Family. I'll peel off your skin and hang it in my room. I'll dig out your eyes and put them beside my bed. I'll let you watch me make love to another man. You'll never be able to raise your head again. "
Tong Yu's eyes narrowed. What a ruthless woman. As the Vice Arbiter of the Dark Court, she had killed many people, but she had never tortured anyone. However, this woman was very good at torturing people. It was no wonder that she had angered the old city lord to death.
Lu Yin squatted down and stared at Xia Zhitong. "You're threatening me, which makes me want to kill you even more."
Xia Zhitong sneered, "If you kill me, you'll be hunted down by the Four Cardinal Scales, just like that bastard from the Lu family.
The Lu family's bastard was exposed at Longshan, and you should know his fate. You'll end up worse than him because the Xia family won't kill you. They'll use you as a sacrifice to me. "
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold.
Xia Zhitong continued, "Of course, there's another path for you."
"Tell me," Lu Yin said indifferently.
The viciousness in Xia Zhitong's eyes dissipated, and her lips curled up into an enchanting smile once more. She straightened up, and the cloth covering her body was pulled back a little, revealing her fair skin with a tinge of red. She looked extremely alluring, "You'll still be my husband, and we'll pretend that nothing happened tonight. The jade manor will still be yours, and you can return to your original state. Of course, nothing will change to the outside world, but I won't harm you or restrict your freedom."
"If you're willing, I'll accompany you every night. I know that you've been infatuated with me since the first time we met. I'll always be yours. How about that?"
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. "You don't want another man?
Can Yucheng be restored to its original state? "
Xia Zhitong shook her head. "It's been so many years, and you're still so naive. I'm not the one who went against your Yu family, but Shenwu Plane. If Yucheng is restored, you'll be finished."
Lu Yin fell into deep thought.
Xia Zhitong continued, "If you don't want me to have another man, I'll do my best, but the rumors about Yucheng and your Yu family won't change. I'm not lying to you; if you try to change them, you'll only die faster. This is the Four Way Scale's method of intimidating the Astral Tree Realm, and no one is allowed to destroy it."
"Master Ba is dead," Lu Yin suddenly said.
Xia Zhitong was stunned, but she didn't seem to mind. "You killed him?"
Lu Yin nodded.
Xia Zhitong didn't care. "So what if he's dead? I'm tired of playing with him after all these years."
"Do you think you can threaten me with those words?"
Lu Yin asked.
Xia Zhitong smiled. "If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't be talking to me like that. If it was you back then, I definitely wouldn't have survived. Your father was angered to death by me, and I couldn't let go of this grudge. But so many years have passed, and I don't know what you've been through, but I'm sure that some grudges can be set aside. Besides, I didn't kill your father.
Lu Yin was amused and couldn't help but clap. "That makes sense. You really do have your reasons for being able to break free from worldly norms and do all sorts of shameless things."
Xia Zhitong's expression changed. "What exactly do you want?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "I want revenge."
Xia Zhitong stared at Lu Yin. "Is it worth it?
I gave you everything you wanted. It's been decades, and you still haven't thought it through? "
Lu Yin straightened up. "I endured the pain of cultivation for decades just for revenge. Do you think I'll give it up?"
"You're too stupid, Yu Hao. So what if you take revenge? You'll still be hunted down like a bastard from the Lu family.
Let me tell you, your grandfather isn't dead, and he's still in the Star Alliance. If you dare to kill me, he'll die as well! "
Lu Yin looked at her playfully. "I know my grandfather isn't dead, so I won't kill you. But I'll make you suffer the greatest pain in the world."
Xia Zhitong was terrified. She didn't know how Lu Yin was going to deal with her. Although she had been used by the Xia family and her reputation had been ruined, she had still enjoyed the bliss of life. She didn't want to lose it.
"You can't do anything to me, Yu Hao. The Xia family's ancestral worship ceremony is about to begin, and I'll be there. If the elders find out, you'll be dead. You can tell me what you want. Do you want to save your grandfather?
I have a plan. "
Xia Zhitong grew anxious.
Lu Yin was curious. "What plan do you have?"
Xia Zhitong anxiously replied, "Everyone in the Star Alliance is an Emissary, and they're not weak when gathered together. But do you know why they haven't fled?
There are still many remaining members of the Lu family, but none of them have fled. Do you know why? "
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. He had never considered this question before. When he had first come into contact with the Star Alliance, he had been at the back of the battlefield. There was no escape from that place, so he had never considered it. "Why?"
Xia Zhitong replied, "I'll tell you, but you have to let me go."
Lu Yin laughed. "Do you think that's possible?
It's just a piece of information, and you want me to let you go? "
"This isn't simple information. There aren't many people in the entire Astral Tree Domain who know the reason, including the Four Cardinal Scales. Only a Half-Ancestor or above would know."
Lu Yin nodded. "Tell me."
"You-" Xia Zhitong still wanted to negotiate, but Lu Yin suddenly attacked and slapped her to the ground. The huge force almost knocked her unconscious, and the remaining force entered her body through her cheek, causing her meridians to be on the verge of shattering.
She spat out a mouthful of blood, and her face turned pale. She was in a daze, as if she had never expected to be hit.
This was the first time Lu Yin had taken true revenge since he had disguised himself as Yu Hao. "You don't have the right to negotiate with me. Speak."
Xia Zhitong looked at Lu Yin in fear. Although she wasn't good at cultivation, she was still a member of the Xia family and was much stronger than Yu Hao. However, the strength that Lu Yin had displayed in that slap was unimaginable.
She wasn't strong, but she had extremely high standards, and there were more than one or two Envoys who had played with her. The strength of that slap had seemed fine on the surface, and even her teeth hadn't been broken. However, it had invaded her body and caused her meridians to be on the verge of shattering.
She couldn't understand what Yu Hao had gone through to change him completely.
"Tell me," Lu Yin said indifferently as he looked at Xia Zhitong.
Xia Zhitong had been afraid that Lu Yin would be too eager to take revenge and disregard the consequences, but now, she was truly terrified. She could no longer see the subservience that Yu Hao had once shown in Lu Yin's eyes. Instead, she saw coldness and mercilessness.
"The Frigid Immortal Sect has placed some sort of restriction on everyone in the Alliance, just like how we can't remember what happened to the Lu family," Xia Zhitong replied, not daring to negotiate any further.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Restriction?
Frigid Immortal Sect?
The first thing that came to mind was the Cage Technique.
If the Frigid Immortal Sect could create the Cage Technique to enslave the Daynight clan, then it wouldn't be strange for them to create other restrictions on their own.
It was no wonder that the people from the Alliance couldn't escape.
"How do you know?"
Lu Yin asked curiously, as this wasn't something that someone like Xia Zhitong could understand.
Xia Zhitong's voice trembled as she answered, "My uncle told me."
"Xia Yuan?"
Lu Yin's tone turned cold.
Xia Zhitong nodded.
Xia Yuan was the uncle who had sent Xia Zhitong to Jade City on the day of her wedding. He was the person that Master Ba had mentioned. He wasn't Xia Zhitong's biological uncle. Although the two of them were from the same branch, Xia Zhitong was sent to Xia Yuan's branch by another branch. She could be considered a branch of the branch, so the Xia family didn't care about her reputation and she could even hook up with Xia Yuan.
