Bai Teng was enraged by Lu Yin's words. He hated being called a puppet the most, but just as he was about to retort, he suddenly thought of something and stared at Lu Yin. "Bai Su is the new Sect Master?"
Lu Yin nodded. "He works well with your Frigid Immortal Sect's Half-Ancestor Wu Yao, and he enjoys being the new Sect Master."
Bai Teng clenched his fists. How could Bai Su be the new Sect Master?
This person was even more of a puppet than he was.
The Frigid Immortal Sect had made Bai Su the new Sect Master without even thinking about saving him. The more he thought about it, the angrier Bai Teng became. He suddenly glared at Lu Yin. "What did the Duan Yi Society give you?
I'll give you double the benefits as long as you let me go. I'll even let you join the Frigid Immortal Sect. You should know that my daughter is Bai Xianer, Bai Xianer. "
Lu Yin's expression changed at the mention of Bai Xianer's name, and his eyes filled with fear.
"Everyone in the universe knows about Safflower Rain. If you dare to kill me, Bai Xianer won't let you go. Why do you think the Duan Yi Society sent you?
They have many experts, and Elder Qiu is a Half-Ancestor who can easily capture me. They sent you as a scapegoat to appease Bai Xianer's anger. "
Lu Yin frowned. "I can tell Bai Xianer that the Duan Yi Society sent me."
"You're too naive. The Duan Yi Society's influence is too great. They'll know that Bai Xianer has come out of seclusion and make you lose the chance to blame them. You can't do that," Bai Teng threatened. "Do you really think you can get the benefits of capturing me?
Impossible, Elder Qiu won't give you that chance. "
Lu Yin's eyes flashed, and he was clearly convinced. "If the Frigid Immortal Sect can't find out, how can Bai Xianer find out?"
Bai Teng shouted, "The world doesn't know that my daughter has a book that can see the past and the future. It's also because of that book that the Lu family …" He suddenly screamed at this point.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and he reached out to grab him. "Continue."
Bai Teng's face was pale, and his body trembled... Blood flowed out of his eyes, nose, and ears. There was a terrifying explosion in his body, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before he fainted.
Lu Yin stared blankly. Bai Teng knew that Lu Yin knew about the Lu family's situation back then, but Bai Teng had also been restricted from speaking about it. Bai Teng had only mentioned a little, but it had resulted in such a miserable state.
He had always known that Bai Xianer had played a huge role in the Lu family's banishment, but after listening to Bai Teng's words, he realized that he had underestimated Bai Xianer's role. She had a book that could see the past and the future?
Could it be the Book of Destiny?
Bai Xianer, Safflower Rain, the Book of Destiny, and the truth behind the Lu Family's banishment were getting closer and closer. However, Bai Teng could not reveal it.
Lu Yin stood there quietly, waiting for Bai Teng to wake up.
Bai Teng was in a miserable state. His meridians were broken, his internal organs were shattered, and he was bleeding from his seven orifices. However, he was an Emissary, so these injuries were not enough to cripple him. As long as the Stellar Origin Qi Vortex was not broken, he would be fine.
After a long time, Bai Teng woke up. He rubbed his head in pain and coughed up blood.
Lu Yin looked at him. "Did you say something you shouldn't have?"
Bai Teng's eyes flickered and were filled with fear. Could he really not say anything?
Bai Xianer had warned him before, but he had thought that she was threatening him. He hadn't expected the consequences to be so severe. Did she even think of him as her father?
She really wanted to kill him.
At this moment, Bai Teng's heart was cold and filled with fear.
He was the Puppet Sect Master, and as long as Bai Xianer came out of seclusion, he would be chased away.
However, Bai Xianer was his daughter, and she would take care of him. He would stand at the peak of the Astral Tree Realm for the rest of his life.
But at this moment, he could clearly see that Bai Xianer did not care about his life at all.
"Do you want to continue?"
Lu Yin asked.
Bai Teng was bitter. "There are some things I can't say."
"Just like how we can't remember the Lu family?"
Lu Yin asked.
Bai Teng was helpless. "It's more serious than that."
Lu Yin looked at him. "Then what can you say?"
Bai Teng took a deep breath and looked up at Lu Yin. Lu Yin realized that the man had changed. His gaze was no longer sharp, but there was something more to it. "Bai Xianer has a book that can see the past and the future. She can find out if you kill me, and no matter what, she will definitely avenge me. You will die without a doubt. I can swear on my life, my cultivation, and everything I have."
Lu Yin frowned. "I won't kill you. As long as you tell me where the seal is, I'll just imprison you."
"She can find it too," Bai Teng said.
Lu Yin laughed. "I don't believe you."
Bai Teng wiped the blood off his face, and half of his face turned red. "You only agreed to the Break Ease Society's capture because of the benefits they promised. I said that if you let me go, I'll take you into the Cold Immortal Sect, and I swear that I won't do anything to you. We can even form an alliance. You help me, and I'll help you. As long as I'm here, the Break Ease Society won't dare to do anything.
"You should know what it means to join the Frigid Immortal Sect in this universe, unless you're already enemies with them."
After saying so much, Bai Teng could no longer think of Lu Yin as a descendant of the Lu family. Lu Yin fell silent for a moment. "You have to give me the seal. I won't go back on my word, but …" He squatted down and stared at Bai Teng. "I can let you go and let you return to the Frigid Immortal Sect alive. I'll give you double the benefits. You said it yourself."
Bai Teng's gaze trembled. "I can swear on it."
Lu Yin waved a hand. "I don't need you to swear. You have to give me the benefits first, even if there's a chance that I'll go back on my word and kill you."
Bai Teng sighed. "I can only bet on it."
"Then, what about the seal?"
Lu Yin said, "Let me remind you that I was the one who captured Xia Xing. The Break Ease Society already has his seal. If the seal you give me is fake, I'll kill you."
Bai Teng replied, "It doesn't matter. It's up to the Four Cardinal Scales to decide who controls the Alliance. I'm just a puppet."
Lu Yin believed that Bai Teng wouldn't give him a fake seal. Bai Teng's position in the Frigid Immortal Sect was awkward, and there was no need for him to risk his life for the sect. Otherwise, he wouldn't have cooperated with the Break Ease Society to increase his influence. He had ambitions, but unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to match them.
After obtaining the seal, Lu Yin relaxed; all that was left was the Wang family's seal.
"What price did the Break Ease Society pay you?
What made you risk capturing me? "
Bai Teng asked, as he was truly curious.
Lu Yin watched as Wei slowly sealed Bai Teng. "Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough. If I say I'll let you go, I'll let you go."
After Bai Teng was sealed, Lu Yin looked at the last person: Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng was different from Bai Teng; he was the true head of the Wang family and a descendant of Ancestor Wang Fan. No one could shake his position, and dealing with him would be difficult.
Lu Yin returned to his original appearance and dispersed Wei to face Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng looked at the young man standing in front of him, and shock flashed through his eyes. "I thought it was the Frigid Immortal Sect.
I didn't expect it to be you, Lu Xiaoxuan. "
Lu Yin smiled. "Wang Zheng, it's been a long time."
Wang Zheng was astonished. "You remember now?"
"No, but we met at Dragon Mountain," Lu Yin said.
Wang Zheng nodded. "You were lucky enough to escape with your life back then and returned to the Wastelands. Now, you actually dare to come back." He seemed to have thought of something. "Could it be that you were chased by the expeditionary army and had no choice but to come to this region of space?"
Lu Yin laughed. "That's what the Four Libras wanted to see the most."
Wang Zheng said in a low voice, "What we wanted to see the most was you being captured, or rather, not leaving a corpse behind, instead of standing in front of me and scheming against me and the Four Way Scales, and even causing internal strife in the Four Way Scales. Lu Xiaoxuan, how did you do it?
Xia Xing, you were the one who captured Bai Teng, and you were also the one who controlled Long Ke. "
"What's your goal?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "You believed the Shenwu Plane's deductions and guessed that it was the Frigid Immortal Sect. Why can't you pin the Frigid Immortal Sect's goal on me?"
Wang Zheng blurted out, "You want to save Xing Meng?"
Lu Yin nodded. "I don't want to hide it. That's right, I want to save Xing Meng."
"Don't even think about it. I won't tell you about the restrictions. If you can't get it from me, Xia Xing, Bai Long, and Long Ke won't tell you either," Wang Zheng said sternly.
Lu Yin shrugged. "I'll think of a way, but Patriarch Wang Zheng, you have to tell me that I didn't come to this region of space to escape. The Fifth Mainland, which you call the Wastelands, is under my control. Your so-called expeditionary army is also under my control."
"What a joke." Wang Zheng didn't believe him.
Lu Yin calmly looked at Wang Zheng and said, "Wang Yi."
Wang Zheng's expression changed, and he stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. "What did you say?"
Lu Yin calmly replied, "Don't tell me you've forgotten about Wang Yi."
Wang Zheng was stunned. "How do you know that name? What do you know?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "There's nothing that can't be known. She's the reason why the Lu family was exiled and why Wang Si hates my family. Do you still not believe that I control the expeditionary army?
Wang Si, Old Whitehead, Xia Yingxiong, and the others are all under my control. I know many things about the Wang family and Shenwu Plane like the back of my hand. "
"Impossible! How can you control the expeditionary army with your strength in the Wastelands?
We know that you have a Progenitor backing you, but the expeditionary army also has a Progenitor item that can borrow the power of a Progenitor. How can you deal with them? "
"You're underestimating the Fifth Mainland. I can tell you that Progenitor Chen isn't dead."
Wang Zheng was shocked once again, as Lu Yin's words completely toppled his worldview.
"When I broke through to become an Emissary, I saw your Cosmic Tree Realm from afar. At that time, I was preparing for your arrival," Lu Yin said.
Wang Zheng still didn't believe him. "It was the Eternals who destroyed the New Void Corridor. They attacked your Wastelands on a large scale, and because of that, my Cosmic Tree Realm started a rare war in order to delay the majority of the Eternals' forces on the battlefield behind the New Void Corridor."
"Thank you." Lu Yin raised his head. "If it weren't for your delay, we would have been in grave danger. Fortunately, the crisis has passed, and once the New Void Corridor is restored, you'll be able to personally see the expeditionary army under my control. Those Half-Ancestors, Emissaries, and geniuses like Wang Su and Wang Yi from your Wang family will all be in my hands."
