Lu Yin's eyes flashed with boundless killing intent, and he unconsciously clenched his fists tightly.
Xia Xing said, "They guessed correctly. You're here, and this news can lure you out. You're on your own now." He then turned to leave.
Lu Yin watched him leave, "The blood I gave you is fake."
Xia Xing paused and turned to glare at Lu Yin, "Fake?"
"It's fake."
"You!" Xia Xing was furious.
Lu Yin frowned. "You don't think that a single piece of news is worth that much blood, do you? Information is information, and even if you hadn't told me about it, it would have spread throughout the Cosmic Tree Realm in the next few days. Since your Shenwu Plane wants to lure me out, how could you not spread the news? Besides, in your own words, the Lu family's blood will be used to atone for their crimes and to show the entire Cosmic Tree Realm."
Xia Xing gritted his teeth, "What will it take for you to give me Progenitor Chen's blood?"
Lu Yin met his gaze, "Save them. Save the remaining Lu family members."
"Impossible, Lu Xiaoxuan, it's not that I don't want to, but that I can't do it. You must be joking."
Lu Yin said, "If you're worried about Xia Ziheng, I can lure him here and give you a chance."
"I said it's impossible. If I do it, everyone will know it's me. I won't do it." Xia Xing wasn't stupid and immediately denied it.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed with killing intent, "If you don't do it, then I'll have you die with them."
Xia Xing felt a headache coming on, and his voice was filled with helplessness and bitterness, "Lu Xiaoxuan, I'm more useful to you. Why should I die with the remaining Lu family members? They've lost their value a long time ago. I can tell you that they're all crippled, and there's even an Emissary among them. Their astral cyclone has been broken, and they can't cultivate for the rest of their lives. They're all crippled, and they're not worth sacrificing me."
"It's not up to you to decide whether they're worth it or not." Lu Yin's expression turned ugly, and the word 'crippled' made his heart tremble. Just how much had these remaining Lu family members suffered?
He thought of Tu Qiming, Wan Sen, Zhou Tang, and the others in the New World. He thought of the Myriad Dao Old Ancestor, Wan Zhiyi. He thought of that old servant, and those foolish people in the Red Garden. Those remaining officials of the Lu Clan were all waiting for him, waiting for him.
Compared to those people, what was Xia Xing?
Xia Xing could see Lu Yin's determination, and she regretted telling him about this matter. Not only had she failed to obtain Progenitor Chen's blood, but she had also lost her own life.
"Think about it again."
"There's nothing to think about. If you can't save them, you'll die."
"Lu Xiaoxuan, I thought you'd changed. I didn't think you'd still be as naive as before. You used to be naive, but now you're stubbornly naive."
Xia Xing was much older than the Seven Heroes. It could be said that he had watched the Seven Heroes grow up and become famous. Naturally, he knew the Lu Xiaoxuan of the past and had even spoken to him more than once. However, at that time, he would never have imagined that he would be controlled by this naive-looking child in the future.
Lu Yin stared at Xia Xing. "So what if you're naive? If my entire Lu family dies, then I'll bury the Four Cardinal Scales with you."
Xia Xing sighed and thought about it. "You've lost your memories and can't recognize the remaining members of the Lu family. Then, it doesn't matter if they're real or not." His eyes brightened. "That's right, it doesn't matter if they're real or not."
He looked up at Lu Yin. "I'll think of a way to protect them, but I can't hand them over to you. You won't be able to save them, and they'll still be locked up in Shenwu Plane. If you want to save them, you'll have to wait until later. This is the only way."
Lu Yin thought about it for a moment. "Alright, let's do that. I'll think of a way to save them in the future." He then stared at Xia Xing. "I've lost my memories, so I don't recognize them. However, that doesn't mean that the Lu family doesn't have anyone. You'd better not lie to me, or I'll kill you even if I have to use my entire life's strength."
Xia Xing took a deep breath. "Don't worry." He then looked hopefully at Lu Yin's cosmic ring. "Progenitor Chen's blood?"
"I'll give it to you when I'm done. I guarantee that I'll give it to you this time. After all, the remaining members of the Lu family are still in your hands."
Xia Xing nodded and turned to leave.
Lu Yin watched him leave. Did Xia Xing really have no way to save the remaining members of the Lu family?
That might not be the case, but Lu Yin couldn't force him. The remaining members of the Lu family were a bargaining chip that Xia Xing had used to threaten Lu Yin, forcing him to hand over the real Progenitor Chen's blood.
This was an accident, as Lu Yin hadn't expected the Xia family to actually want to massacre the remaining members of the Lu family. Even so, it didn't matter, as he would find a way to save them in the future. As long as he didn't use Yu Hao's identity, he could use his life to threaten Xia Xing.
However, this was a matter for the future. Right now, Lu Yin's expression sank, and he sent a message to Wu Yao, who was outside the valley.
Wu Yao opened his eyes; Yu Hao had contacted him. What was this person's motive for contacting him?
Lu Yin sent a message back to Wu Yao. "The Shenwu Plane has wrongly accused the Frigid Immortal Sect of hiding Xia Xing's clone, Wang Zheng, and Long Ke in the Cloud Forest Tower. Sect Master, please deal with this matter as soon as possible."
Wu Yao's expression changed. What was this Yu Hao trying to do?
The Shenwu Plane had wrongly accused the Frigid Immortal Sect?
Wasn't he from the Shenwu Plane?
Why had he told him about the Shenwu Plane?
What was his motive?
Had his previous guess been wrong?
Wu Yao didn't understand, and he couldn't help but want to enter the valley, but he was stopped by Half-Ancestor Chai and Sir Yu. Their goal here was to contain all three parties and prevent any of them from winning over Yu Hao. How could they let Wu Yao find Yu Hao alone?
They had agreed that each person would only have one chance to speak with Yu Hao alone, and Wu Yao had already used up his chance.
Wu Yao frowned and looked into the valley. Who was this Yu Hao?
What was his motive for telling him this?
Also, if the Shenwu Plane had wrongly accused the Frigid Immortal Sect, then did Half-Ancestor Chai and Sir Yu know about this?
Wu Yao wanted to see something from their expressions, but he couldn't.
Not long after Wu Yao was stopped, Xia Ziheng found Half-Ancestor Chai alone.
When Wu Yao saw him, Yu Hao's message to him immediately surfaced in his mind. Was the Shenwu Plane only starting now?
After a while, Half-Ancestor Chai returned with no expression on his face.
Soon after, Xia Ziheng found Mister Yu. Mister Yu returned with no expression.
As for Wu Yao, Xia Ziheng didn't look for him, which made him even more certain of Yu Hao's words.
However, Xia Xing's clone wasn't in the Cloud Forest Tower, so how could the Shenwu Plane wrongly accuse the Frigid Immortal Sect?
Or did they have a backup plan?
Wu Yao couldn't sit still anymore. If the Shenwu Plane had done this, then they must be confident. He wanted to send a message to Yu Hao, but he was stopped by Half-Ancestor Chai and the others.
Yu Hao could send a message to them, but they couldn't. This was to prevent others from trying to rope them in.
Originally, this was to guard against others, but now, Wu Yao felt disgusted.
Helpless, Wu Yao decided to reveal the truth to Half-Ancestor Chai and Sir Yu. He didn't want the Frigid Immortal Sect to be in a passive position.
No matter what the Shenwu Plane wanted to do, it would definitely be detrimental to the Frigid Immortal Sect. Since that was the case, then he would reveal the truth and join forces with the other three Half-Ancestors. He didn't believe that the Shenwu Plane would dare to make a move.
"What did you say?
This is all part of the Shenwu Plane's scheme? "
The usual smile on Young Master Yu's face was gone. Instead, it was filled with astonishment and suspicion.
Half-Ancestor Chai looked at Wu Yao and said, "Do you think you can wash away the suspicions of the Frigid Immortal Sect by saying this?
Before, we guessed that Xia Xing and the others were captured by the Frigid Immortal Sect. You said that it was the God of Forgotten Ruins who did it, and we did indeed know that it was the Seven Skygods who did it. However, until now, we only have information and no traces of the Seven Skygods. Now, you want to push all the blame onto the Shenwu Plane? Does that mean the God of Forgotten Ruins was a lie? "
Wu Yao sighed and said, "At that time, we really thought it was the God of Forgotten Ruins who did it. After all, the God of Forgotten Ruins did appear in the Yin Mountain Region, but we couldn't find any traces of the Seven Skygods."
"That doesn't mean the Shenwu Plane did it. What proof do you have?"
Sir Yu asked.
Wu Yao said, "You suspected the Frigid Immortal Sect, but you didn't have any proof. If Bai Teng's disappearance was an act, then why wasn't the Shenwu Plane acting when Xia Xing disappeared?"
"Xia Xing went to the Central World because of Yu Hao," said Half-Ancestor Chai.
Wu Yao's eyes turned cold. "If …" Suddenly, he stopped. If he told these two that Yu Hao was a fake, then their methods against Yu Hao would change. Now that Yu Hao had joined the Frigid Immortal Sect, of course, he had to be accepted by the Frigid Immortal Sect. However, that was under the premise that the other three families couldn't rope him in. Once Yu Hao's real identity was exposed, the Wang Family and the White Dragon Clan's methods would change, and the Frigid Immortal Sect's advantage would disappear.
Even though Yu Hao was most likely a member of the Xia Family, Yu Hao had told him about the Shenwu Plane's plan to frame the Frigid Immortal Sect. This made Wu Yao feel even more confused. He was afraid that if Yu Hao's identity was exposed, then the Frigid Immortal Sect would lose this peerless genius and be taken away by the Wang Family or the White Dragon Clan. This wasn't something he could bear.
Apart from the fact that Yu Hao was Divine Master Gu Yan's disciple, everything else was just a guess. It wasn't that no one had ever used Ancestor Chen's sword before, so it wasn't necessarily someone from the Shenwu Plane.
"If what?"
Half-Martial Ancestor Chai stared at Wu Yao.
Wu Yao muttered to himself, "If the Shenwu Plane intentionally made Xia Xing disappear, then any reason is acceptable."
Half-Martial Ancestor Chai and Prince Yu looked at each other. They had just been called over by Xia Ziheng, who had told them that Wang Zheng and Long Ke might be at the Cloud Forest Tower. Now, Wu Yao was telling them that everything had been done by the Shenwu Plane. They didn't know who to believe.
In fact, as long as Wu Yao announced that Yu Hao's identity was fake, they would definitely believe him. After all, seeing was believing, unless they found Wang Zheng and Long Ke at the Cloud Forest Tower. However, Wu Yao subconsciously concealed this fact.
He still held onto a glimmer of hope. If the person who had impersonated Yu Hao didn't belong to the Shenwu Plane, then the Frigid Immortal Sect would still be able to obtain him, especially if they knew that he was an impersonator. This was an advantage over the other sects, even though the possibility was very small.
There were many choices one had to make in life, so Wu Yao chose to hide it for now.
Wu Yao's guess about the Shenwu Plane couldn't be immediately believed by Half-Martial Ancestor Chai and Prince Yu. They were actually more willing to believe that the Frigid Immortal Sect was behind this because the Frigid Immortal Sect gave them too much pressure in the Four Way Balance.
