"Old man, they're at our disposal today," Lu Yin told Yu Chuan in a low voice.
Yu Chuan trembled with excitement as he stared at Xia Zhitong's group and muttered, "Thank you, thank you, thank you …"
He spoke to Lu Yin, but he didn't dare to look at Lu Yin, afraid that Lu Yin's identity would be exposed.
Even his life wouldn't be enough to repay this gratitude. Yu Chuan didn't need to know why this person had pretended to be Yu Hao, nor did he need to know his goal. All he knew was that this person had saved the Yu family's face and avenged them. That was enough.
The people from Shenwu Plane watched quietly, including Half-Ancestor Chai, Wu Yao, and the other outsiders, as well as those from Yi Xian Academy.
No one had expected Shenwu Plane to be so ruthless. It was one thing for them to hand over their disciples to Yu Hao, but they had even done it during the ancestral ceremony. This ruthlessness was chilling, but at the same time, it gave many people confidence. Since Shenwu Plane had treated Yu Hao this way, if they also displayed a certain amount of talent, their status in Shenwu Plane might not be any lower than the Xia family's disciples.
The Wang family, the Bai family, and the White Dragon Clan had different attitudes towards the main bloodlines and side bloodlines, but they weren't as ruthless as the Xia family. The Xia family treated the side bloodlines cruelly, and although it was easy for them to betray the main bloodlines, it also allowed outsiders to see the Xia family's attitude. There were good and bad sides, and the recent execution of Xia Zhitong's group was the Xia family's public display of their attitude.
The Wang family and the White Dragon Clan both tried to rope in students, but these students weren't stupid. If they joined these behemoths, their status would never be comparable to that of the main bloodlines. However, the Xia family was different. They treated the side bloodlines even more ruthlessly than they did outsiders, which gave them a sense of superiority. This made it easier for them to join the Xia family.
No matter what the Xia family was planning, Lu Yin didn't think about it. He supported Yu Chuan and walked towards Xia Zhitong's group.
The path was very long, and Yu Chuan walked very slowly. However, no one rushed them, and they simply watched as they walked forward.
Xia Zhitong knelt on the ground, already numb. The past few days had been the darkest of her life. She had gone from hope to despair, and then to numbness. She had become a completely different person, especially when she had learned that she would be handed over to Yu Hao to be executed during the ancestral ceremony. this decision. She couldn't accept the fact that she had been abandoned by the Xia family's side. This shouldn't have been like this.
No matter what, she was still a member of the Xia family and represented the Xia family.
She had thought that the Xia Clan would save her, but as news of Yu Hao spread, she was getting closer and closer to the abyss. That person was too brilliant, so brilliant that even the Divine Martial Heaven would not give up on him. They would do everything they could to win him over. Even if the Xia Clan did not give up on her, there was no place for her in the entire Starry Sky Tree.
Xia Zhitong watched numbly as Yu Hao and Yu Chuan walked towards her. Every step they took brought her closer to death. Every step they took was like a stomp on her heart.
Finally, the footsteps drew near and stopped.
Xia Zhitong slowly raised her head and saw Yu Hao. He was still so handsome and mesmerizing, just like the first time she saw him. At that time, she swore that she would do everything she could to get this man. In the end, she got him. Not only did she get his body, but she also got his heart. Wait a minute, who was that monster in his eyes?
Was it him?
Was the figure he saw in his pupils him?
No, that wasn't him. That was a monster, an ugly monster.
Xia Zhitong's eyes were filled with despair. She struggled madly. "That's not me, not me. That's a monster, an ugly monster. It's not me …"
Yu Chuan
He glared at Xia Zhitong. "You're the one who harmed the Yu family, my son, and my grandson."
He tightened his grip on Yu Chuan's arm.
Yu Chuan hurriedly corrected himself. "Fortunately, the heavens took pity on my grandson, or my Yu family would have become the laughingstock of the entire Cosmic Tree Realm. You vicious woman!"
Xia Zhitong crazily screamed, "That's not me! I'm not a monster! I've seduced countless men! That's not me!"
Everyone watched Xia Zhitong go crazy, and their expressions were complicated. Did they sympathize with her?
Perhaps, but there were other emotions as well. If Yu Hao hadn't been accepted as a disciple by Gu Yan, and if he hadn't been so monstrous, then Xia Zhitong wouldn't have ended up like this. She would have been able to live happily in Jade City forever, enjoying everything that she liked until she died of old age. No one would have done anything to her.
This was the reality of the cultivation world.
Even Half-Ancestor Chai and the others felt their hearts palpitate when they saw this scene. They were only Half-Ancestors, not Progenitors. If there came a day when their sect had to make a choice that required them to sacrifice themselves, then they would end up like Xia Zhitong. They would never have the chance to make their own choices until they reached the Progenitor realm.
However, would they have the chance to make a choice once they reached the Progenitor realm?
"Old man, let's end this," Lu Yin said gravely. He had disguised himself as Yu Hao and traveled through the Astral Tree Realm. Now, he had repaid his debt and fulfilled one of Queiluo's wishes.
Yu Chuan closed his eyes, raised his hand, and slapped down. Xia Zhitong fell to the ground. Yu Chuan didn't destroy her body, because Xia Zhitong's current appearance was her greatest punishment. Yu Chuan wanted her to maintain this appearance until she died, and to maintain it forever.
The people behind Xia Zhitong cried out in fear, begging for mercy, and wailing, but they all disappeared under Yu Chuan's palm.
Lu Yin didn't make a move; everything that had happened to the Yu Family was up to them.
Xia Shenfei watched as Lu Yin followed behind Yu Chuan without making a move. His eyes flashed as he pondered.
One person after another fell to the ground, and it was at this moment that the students from Yi Xian Academy learned that Mister Hao Yu was the famous Yu Hao who had spread throughout the Astral Tree Realm. However, this fame wasn't a good thing; everything that Xia Zhitong had done to the Yu Family had turned them into a laughingstock.
But from this day onwards, this laughingstock had disappeared.
Nong Siniang looked at Lu Yin's calm face, and for the first time, she felt that Mister Hao Yu was a stranger. He was even stranger than when he had walked out of the Xia Family's branch in the Blue Moon District.
It should have been an ordinary ceremony, but because Xia Xing had almost pulled out the broken blade, as well as the final execution, it had become extraordinary.
After the ceremony, Lu Yin didn't speak to anyone else and returned to his residence alone. As for Yu Chuan, he had been taken away by Shenwu Plane. Yu Chuan wasn't free until Lu Yin had completely joined Shenwu Plane.
Wu Yao wanted to ask Lu Yin about this, but Xia Xing beat him to it.
Xia Xing had been impatient for a long time and wanted to ask Lu Yin for Progenitor Chen's blood. No one wanted to pull out the broken blade more than the Xia Family.
"I have Progenitor Chen's blood," Lu Yin said calmly.
Xia Xing's eyes lit up as he stared at Lu Yin, waiting for his next words.
"But why should I give it to you?"
Lu Yin asked, looking at Xia Xing with a deep gaze.
Xia Xing anxiously said, "I'm your spy in Shenwu Plane. I can help you with anything you want. Helping me is helping yourself."
Lu Yin fell silent.
"You placed a seal on my body. What are you worried about?"
Xia Xing asked anxiously.
Lu Yin looked up. "The seal can be removed. There are Progenitors in Shenwu Plane, and I don't think that my seal can do anything to them."
"I forcefully fused with my main body, and I even helped you. How could I ask the Ancestor to remove the seal? I would be exposed if I did that." "But you pulled out the broken blade —" Lu Yin stopped Xia Xing before he could finish.
Xia Xing opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Lu Yin met his gaze. "You pulled out the broken blade, so your value isn't something that a mere family head can decide. Am I right?"
Xia Xing lowered his voice. "I can swear that I won't betray you."
Lu Yin looked away and muttered to himself for a moment. "Alright, I believe you. However, Progenitor Chen's blood is rare, and I can't give it to you for free. There are some things that even I can't bear to use."
"I understand. What do you want?"
Xia Xing relaxed. As long as he could obtain Progenitor Chen's blood and pull out the broken blade, he could exchange it for anything.
Lu Yin raised two fingers. "First, tell Xia Ziheng that your clone is in the Frozen Immortal Sect's Cloud Forest Tower. Wang Zheng and Long Ke are there as well."
Xia Xing was confused. "The Frozen Immortal Sect's Cloud Forest Tower?
Is that the place where you let me out of the Frozen Immortal Sect? "
"You don't have to worry about that. Just do as I say. Second," Lu Yin's eyes burned with passion. "I need resources. A huge amount of resources."
Xia Xing's eyes narrowed. "You took all the resources on Junior Progenitor Planet?"
When the resources on Junior Progenitor Planet had disappeared, this Xia Xing had been imprisoned in Mount Supreme and hadn't known about it. It was only after he had come to Shenwu Plane and replaced Xia Xing's main body that he had learned about what had happened after he had been captured. He was shocked by Lu Yin's methods, but he was also curious about where all the resources had gone.
He wondered if Lu Yin had thrown them into an abandoned land.
"I took them. Why? Are you going to report me?"
Lu Yin asked.
Xia Xing laughed dryly. "How could that be? I'm just curious about where all the resources went."
"It's none of your business. Anyway, I need resources, and the more the better." Lu Yin's lips curled up. "The more resources you have, the more blood you can get."
The last sentence caused Xia Xing's expression to change, but he soon became bitter. "Shenwu Plane has a lot of resources, but I can't mobilize much. It definitely won't be as much as what you got on Junior Progenitor Planet."
"With your status, I don't believe that you'll be able to pull out the broken blade. You can leave now. In any case, the more resources you give me, the more Progenitor Chen's blood I'll give you. You should know that Progenitor Chen's blood needs to reach a certain amount before he can help you pull out the broken blade," Lu Yin reminded her before chasing her away.
After Xia Xing left Lu Yin's residence, Wu Yao arrived shortly after.
Lu Yin had clearly stated that he had become Bai Wangyuan's disciple, so he naturally wouldn't join Shenwu Plane. Otherwise, no one would want a slave with two surnames.
Wu Yao looked at Lu Yin. "It's good that you know that. No matter how talented you are, you don't have the qualifications to waver between the Frigid Immortal Sect and Shenwu Plane. Even a Progenitor isn't qualified."
"I know," Lu Yin replied as he watched Wu Yao leave.
Wavering between the Frigid Immortal Sect and Shenwu Plane?
No, he was wavering between four scales.
As for Xia Xing's request for Progenitor Chen's blood, Lu Yin definitely wouldn't give it to him. Once the Grim Reaper's Seal was broken, he would be finished. Lu Yin also couldn't completely trust Xia Xing's oath since he knew the Nine Clones Technique.
