There were many masters in the Root Organization. This Cheng Li had a high status in the organization as an Emissary. As for the two people in front of him, the handsome man was also an Emissary who stayed in the Root Organization all year round and fought in the mortal world. The old woman was from the Cold Immortal Sect.
Their destination was the nest of a creature that the handsome man had agreed to meet with the King of Adventure.
The handsome man had a good relationship with the King of Adventure, and they often worked together to clean up the creatures that were destroying the Mother Tree's roots. This time, the handsome man had invited the King of Adventure to take action, but his true goal was not to clean up the creatures, but to kill them. The handsome man had been bribed by the Frigid Immortal Sect to lure the King of Adventure to kill him.
And all of this was related to Lu Yin.
Back when Lu Yin had disguised himself as Draconic Seven and fled to the Central Realm after being exposed at Dragon Mountain, the King of Adventure had helped him once. The King of Adventure had not been exposed, but he had accidentally told the handsome man, who had then sold him out in exchange for benefits from the Frigid Immortal Sect.
The Frigid Immortal Sect had long since known that the King of Adventure had a good relationship with the Lu family, and that he was one of the surviving members of the Lu family. Thus, they had forced him to complete the Roots' missions every year, which was the same as sending him to his death. However, the King of Adventure had survived, and his contributions to the Roots made it difficult for the Four Cardinal Scales to act against him. However, the handsome man's information had given him a reason to act against the Frigid Immortal Sect.
Although they had decided to act against the King of Adventure, the Frigid Immortal Sect had not acted yet because they wanted to keep an eye on him and see if they could find any of the surviving members of the Lu family. Unfortunately, so many years had passed, and the King of Adventure had not contacted any of the surviving members of the Lu family. The Frigid Immortal Sect did not want to waste any more time on him, so they decided to lure him out and kill him.
This was a small matter for the Frigid Immortal Sect, as they did not need any of the sect's experts to act. They only needed to poison the King of Adventure at the right moment to render him defenseless. This was the handsome man's mission.
The three of them continued on their way, and Lu Yin looked up at the handsome man. He sighed that he was lucky to have encountered such a situation; otherwise, the King of Adventure would have been in danger.
The handsome man and old woman were definitely no match for the Adventurer King. After all, the Adventurer King was at the sixth Origin Tribulation Stage. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to help them back then. The difference between the handsome man and old woman was just too great.
Even so, they were still confident. They relied on a type of poison, and their target this time was a creature called Che Ku. This creature was adept at controlling air currents. It had an extraordinary ability to sense and control air currents. The handsome man's mission was to spread the poison in the air. As long as King Adventure attacked Che Ku, Che Ku could use the poison in the air to kill King Adventure. There was no need for the handsome man and the others to do anything.
Their mission was to spread the poison, record the scene, and seal it in the Cold Immortal Sect.
"Will the King of Adventure detect the poison?"
In the eyes of the handsome man and the old woman, Lu Yin's words were the words of a successful official.
The old woman coldly replied, "That won't happen. This poison isn't very toxic, so it won't attract the Adventurer King's attention. However, after Che Ku uses it, it can be used to kill the Adventurer King. You just have to remember to retreat in time."
The handsome man sneered. "Don't worry. Even if we don't want to retreat, the Adventurer King will think of a way to throw us out and let us live."
He then sneered. "How sad. Based on my understanding of him, he'll definitely do that."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the handsome man with killing intent. This person didn't seem to have any regrets, and he was even mocking the Adventurer King. Even the old woman didn't like him.
The Cold Immortal Sect's stance was to kill the Adventurer King, but in reality, many people admired him.
The Adventurer King had not relied on the Lu family to obtain this title, but rather on his own.
The Four Cardinal Scales would not show mercy to the remaining members of the Lu family. The missions that the Adventurer King completed every year were extremely dangerous, and even if he managed to survive, the Four Cardinal Scales could not openly attack him. If it weren't for the fact that the Adventurer King had helped Lu Xiaoxuan a few decades ago, the Adventurer King would have continued to live until he was eaten by a creature from the Mortal Realm.
Such a person was worthy of respect, but it was a pity that he would die at the hands of such a despicable person.
The handsome man did not care about the Adventurer King at all. The reason he had been able to curry favor with the Adventurer King in the past was because of a seemingly life-or-death situation, but in reality, the Adventurer King had seen him in a different light. The Adventurer King had helped him complete missions for so many years, and he had successfully obtained a large amount of resources and fame in the Root Organization. He had also improved his cultivation, but now that he no longer needed the Adventurer King, his next step was the Cold Immortal Sect.
With his cultivation as an Emissary, he could easily join the Four Cardinal Scales, but he did not want an ordinary position.
The Adventurer King's death would allow him to take a high position in the Cold Immortal Sect, and he would obtain far more resources than other cultivators in the same realm.
This was his true goal.
The handsome man was still immersed in his beautiful fantasy, but he did not notice that a blade had been stabbed into his neck. It was a blade that he was very familiar with, one that they had supported each other in the past. This blade's owner was Cheng Shi.
….
Lu Yin attacked, stabbing through the handsome man's neck and then using the Thirteen Swords technique to easily kill him. He then slashed at the old woman.
She was shocked. "What are you doing?"
She had not expected this wooden Emissary to suddenly attack her. Was he crazy?
Lu Yin had never used the Thirteen Swords technique on Cheng Shi before, as Cheng Shi did not know how to use the technique. However, Lu Yin could display that sword intent, causing his blade to have a strange aura. More importantly, he had once studied it in the Sword Stele, which gave him the experience of breaking through Ten Thousand Weapons.
The old woman's weapon was rather strange, as it was a pair of hooks. However, Lu Yin's blade quickly found a flaw and severed her arms.
The old woman was shocked. "Who are you?
You're not Cheng Shi! "She did not believe that Cheng Shi was her match. Furthermore, her weapon was very difficult for ordinary people to break through, but this person had been able to find a flaw in it. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
Lu Yin did not say a word. His saber was heavy and heavy, but the saber in his hand felt lighter and more agile.
The old woman stepped into the Astral Source Universe in an attempt to escape, but she was still cut down by Lu Yin in the end.
Lu Yin returned to the handsome man's corpse, took out the Cloudconnection Stone, and contacted the Adventurer King.
Cheng Shi and the handsome man had fought with the Adventurer King in the Mortal Realm, so they knew how to contact him.
"How much longer until you arrive?
Che Ku won't stay in one place for too long, "the Adventurer King said.
Lu Yin replied, "The Frigid Immortal Sect sent people to kill you. They already know that you helped Lu Xiaoxuan, and Che Ku is a method to deal with you."
The Adventurer King's expression changed. "Who are you?
Where is he? "
"He's a traitor, and I've already killed him. Hurry up and run, the Four Cardinal Scales won't let you off. Just wait quietly; the Lu family will be back soon."
Cheng Shi was not a good person either. He had been saved by the Adventurer King several times, but he had been willing to accompany the handsome man and the old woman to kill the Adventurer King.
Lu Yin used Cheng Shi's body to commit suicide, and his consciousness returned to his chest.
The white comma was boiling and expanding slightly. Suicide was indeed useful, as only those between life and death could cultivate death energy.
Lu Yin had no idea how the Grim Reaper had created this kind of power. Had he died many times?
Or had he been able to merge into someone else's body and die?
Lu Yin rolled a six twice in a row, but he did not roll it again for the next two times. He believed that it would take a long time before he could roll it again. This was all luck.
Now, he just had to wait patiently for the White Dragon Tribe's response!
The next day, Lu Yin did not receive any response from the White Dragon Tribe, but the Culinary God did.
When he saw the Culinary God's hesitant expression, Lu Yin asked, "Senior, has the matter of the blood pool been settled?"
The Culinary God nodded and thought about it. "Perhaps this isn't fair to you. After all, you did this for the academy, and because of this, you were threatened by the White Dragon Tribe. The Academy-" Lu Yin raised a hand and stopped the Culinary God from continuing. He looked at the Culinary God with a burning gaze. "I'm a mentor of the academy. As long as it's good for the academy and the students, I don't care about anything else. What happens to the White Dragon Tribe and the Four Cardinal Scales have nothing to do with me."
The Culinary God met Lu Yin's gaze and nodded. "I brought you to the academy because of your high cultivation at such a young age, and also because of Kui Luo. Although I don't think much of him, I have to admit that the old man has some ability. Although he's brought trouble to the academy, as long as he's around, his cultivation as a half-ancestor is enough to intimidate others.
"Now, it seems that my decision was right, but my thinking was wrong. You're more suitable for the academy than Kui Luo, and the academy is more suitable for you."
Lu Yin shrugged. "I can't accept such a heavy responsibility, but I'm curious. What conditions did the White Dragon Tribe offer to move Senior?"
The Culinary God's eyes flickered, but he did not speak for a long time.
Lu Yin looked up. "Is it related to Sir Yu?"
The Culinary God solemnly answered, "The White Dragon Tribe is willing to give me a chance to have a fair duel with that bastard. Regardless of life or death, they will not interfere."
Lu Yin was shocked. "They actually dared to make such a condition?
Aren't they afraid that Sir Yu will be killed by Senior? "
The Culinary God sighed. "The White Dragon Tribe will not give up on that bastard. Since they dared to make such a condition, it means that they are confident that they can protect that bastard from me. But no matter what, I want this opportunity. I must kill that bastard with my own hands and settle this once and for all."
Lu Yin understood. The Culinary God's hatred for Sir Yu was no less than Lu Yin's hatred for the Four Cardinal Scales. It was closer to Lu Yin's hatred for Nightking Zhenwu, and that kind of feeling was enough to make him give up everything.
"No matter how the White Dragon Tribe uses the blood pool to suppress outsiders who join them, it has nothing to do with us. Since those people joined the White Dragon Tribe, then that's their fate. Even if this matter was to be exposed, there was no need for it to be exposed to us. However, since we already know about it, then we must take the benefits that we deserve," the Culinary God said. He then told Lu Yin about the conditions that the White Dragon Tribe had offered to the students and himself.
After all, Lu Yin was the one who had discovered the blood pool, so he was treated differently from the others. He also needed to clarify that he had been mistaken.
"The White Dragon Tribe will give you two choices. First, they will reserve a peak for you in Dragon Mountain," the Culinary God said. He looked at Lu Yin's blank expression and explained, "This means that as long as you reach the boundary of Dragon Mountain, you will receive the White Dragon Tribe's protection. No matter who you offend, even if it's the Four Cardinal Scales, the White Dragon Tribe will protect you."
Lu Yin subconsciously asked, "What if I offend the White Dragon Tribe?"
The Culinary God looked at Lu Yin quietly. "Are you very good at offending people?"
