"Why would you help me if you weren't a vassal of the Lu family? You helped me just like the Adventurer King. The Adventurer King was targeted by the Four Cardinal Scales and almost died. I'm worried about your safety, but with my current strength, I can protect all of the Lu family's vassals. I've even reached an agreement with the Four Cardinal Scales. As long as you admit that you're a vassal of the Lu family, no one will attack you, including Shenwu Plane.
I'll tell them everything. "Qiuling grew anxious." Don't do anything rash, Lu Xiaoxuan. I'm not a vassal of the Lu family. "
"But you've helped me before. I'm not an ungrateful person," Lu Yin said loudly.
Qiuling was speechless. She wanted to say that she hadn't helped him of her own volition, but that the Eternals had ordered her to do so. However, she didn't dare to say that.
If Lu Yin told Shenwu Plane that he had helped her in the past, then things would get troublesome. Not only would this ruin the Eternals' plans, but the Four Cardinal Scales might even find out that she was a Redback.
No one would investigate her if she was on the same side as the Four Cardinal Scales, but if she was on the opposite side, who knew what would be discovered?
"You've misunderstood, Lu Xiaoxuan. I'm really not a vassal of the Lu family." Qiuling didn't know how to explain herself.
Lu Yin snickered inwardly, but he maintained a solemn expression. "I don't believe you."
"How can I make you believe me?"
Qiuling rebuked.
Lu Yin thought about it. "Let's meet. Things like this can only be explained in person."
"No, what if someone finds out and tells Shenwu Plane?" Qiuling refused immediately.
Lu Yin said, "I know that you're a vassal of the Lu family and don't want to cut ties. Don't worry, I'll tell Shenwu Plane about this and ensure your safety." He then ended the call.
This time, Qiuling was truly anxious. "Wait! Fine, let's meet. Where do you want to meet?
Where are you? "
Lu Yin replied, "I'm at the fourth foundation. If you don't want to be discovered, we can choose a secret location."
Qiuling felt helpless. How could there be such a person? She had helped him in the past, but now, he had dragged her down with him decades later. She had to explain herself, or Shenwu Plane would find out that she had helped him in the past.
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated Celestial Master Qiuling felt. She hadn't been this upset in years.
In the end, the two of them chose a secluded place. It was on the back of the battlefield, at the intersection of the third and second base, located on the mother tree.
He was no stranger to that location; it was where he had merged with Celestial Master Qiuling's body.
After ascertaining the location, he hurried over. He couldn't wait to enter Celestial Master Qiuling's body and gain all of her lockbreaking experience.
Celestial Master Qiuling, on the other hand, was thinking about how to solve the problem. She couldn't silence them.
How could he explain it clearly?
With this thought in mind, the two of them headed in that direction.
On the other side, a group of people had gathered in the valley below the Wang Family's continent. They were all the elite cultivators of the Four Way Balance. Among them were Long Tian, Wang Su, Wang Yi, Xia Shenfei, and the others. They had been summoned to the fifth continent to receive the inheritance of the fifth pagoda. The one leading the group was Bai Qi.
At this moment, everyone was waiting for Bai Qi. Bai Qi had just left the battlefield at the back and was rushing over.
"Wang Su, among us, only you guys have been to the abandoned land. Are there really so many inheritances in the fifth pagoda?"
Long Tian asked.
The others looked at Wang Su, Wang Yi, and the others.
Wang Su's expression was cold. Because he cultivated a Supreme Secret Technique, he had a unique temperament. "Some of them are, but some of them aren't."
"What do you mean?"
Xia Shenfei asked as he took a sip of wine.
Wang Su wasn't interested in answering.
Wang Yi explained, "The abandoned land was attacked by the Eternals, and Lu Yin disappeared for twenty years. During that time, some half-progenitors investigated the fifth pagoda, and they found most of the inheritances there. However, they didn't find anything similar to Ancestor Ku's inheritance. It's just a qualification.
"Furthermore, once you obtain the fifth pagoda's inheritance, you'll have to accept Lu Yin as half a teacher."
Everyone knew that Lu Yin was only half a teacher. Bai Wangyuan's meaning was that he didn't want the ordinary inheritances. This group's only goal in going to the fifth pagoda was to obtain the Thirteen Swords. As long as they could obtain the Thirteen Swords, what did it matter if Lu Yin was half a teacher?
The other inheritances were meaningless, and they weren't worth half a teacher's favor.
He wanted Lu Yin to cancel this half a teacher's favor, but Lu Yin would definitely not agree. Otherwise, how would he explain himself to the Fifth and Sixth Mainlands? so Bai Wangyuan could only make such a decision.
He didn't even mention it to Lu Yin.
The group discussed amongst themselves as they waited for Bai Qi's arrival.
Bai Qi was already on her way here, and she reported everything that had happened at the first array base to Bai Wangyuan.
Bai Wangyuan had only acted because he had sensed the power of the Progenitor's rune lines. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep an eye on Lu Yin.
It was also because of Bai Qi's report that they understood what had happened.
They didn't care about Qiao'er since she was just an ant. They were more concerned about Lu Yin's challenge to Mu Shang, as he wanted to snatch the title of the youngest Origin Heavenly Master in history.
It was only now that they remembered that Lu Yin was also an array master of Realmplains, and he even had the confidence to challenge an Origin Heavenly Master.
This fact caused their killing intent to rise once again.
The combination of an Origin Heavenly Master and a Progenitor was terrifying, just like Huiwen. Once Huiwen had some achievements in lockbreaking, his future would be unimaginable.
During the Daosource Sect's era, they would never have dreamed that the humans would have to rely on Huiwen's strength to protect themselves. Even Lu Tianyi hadn't expected this. Could Lu Xiaoxuan be the next Huiwen?
It was not impossible.
Bai Wangyuan looked at the battlefield behind him. It would be great if Lu Xiaoxuan died in this challenge. He had brought this upon himself, and it had nothing to do with the Four Scales.
…
On the battlefield behind him, Lu Yin had already arrived at the meeting place with Heavenly Master Qiuling. He looked up and saw that it was exactly the same place where he had fused with Heavenly Master Qiuling.
The General Appointment Platform floated behind him, and he glanced behind to use the platform's rune lines to cover his surroundings. He wanted to make sure that Bai Wangyuan and the others weren't watching him.
Although he couldn't defeat those people, he could still use the Progenitor rune lines to confirm that no one was watching him.
Fortunately, no one was watching him, and Bai Wangyuan and the others knew that they couldn't monitor him. Besides, the Ruler Realm was also a battlefield for Progenitors, so it wouldn't be easy for them to monitor him.
Hold on, Lu Yin suddenly realized that this might have been Heavenly Master Qiuling's doing. She definitely didn't want the Four Scales to know that they were meeting, so she had thought of a way to have the Eternals delay Bai Wangyuan and the others in the Ruler Realm.
If that was really the case, then Lu Yin was amused. The Eternals had helped him a lot, but the consequences were that the fourth formation base might have changed. Qiuling definitely didn't want to spend too much time with him, so she would definitely think of a way to lure him away.
"Come out, Senior."
Lu Yin looked in a certain direction and smiled.
Qiuling walked out and looked at Lu Yin with a judgmental and helpless gaze. "You're very fast."
"The speed of a Half-Progenitor, but I can use other methods to reach the speed of a Progenitor. Not too long ago, I fought against the Eternals' Seven Skygods, and that was the true Seven Skygods. On the Fifth Mainland, even Xia Shenji and Bai Sheng were forced to retreat by me. That was why the Four Cardinal Scales came to an agreement with me. Senior, you don't have to worry about anything. I'll definitely protect you."
Celestial Master Qiuling was speechless. Although she was prone to jealousy, it was only because of her dark nature. Ever since she became an Origin Formation Celestial Master, her personality had changed a little. She had become more approachable and gentle, which made it easier for her to get closer to people. Over time, she had become different from her younger self. She even wondered if she would still want to surpass that person and join the Eternals if she could live again.
Even so, Lu Yin had infuriated her. Why couldn't he understand human language?
"I told you, I'm really not a remnant of the Lu family," Qiuling repeated.
Lu Yin looked around vigilantly. "Is someone watching us?
Senior, don't worry. Even if Bai Wangyuan and those old fogeys are watching, you can still boldly say it. Nothing will happen. I understand that you've endured humiliation in the Astral Tree for so many years. I'm here to pick you up. "
Qiuling clenched her fists subconsciously, but then she relaxed them. "Alright, I admit that I helped you, but that was because I was once indebted to the Lu family. After that, I no longer owe the Lu family anything. I don't owe you anything, and you don't owe me anything. I'll say it again: I'm definitely not a remnant of the Lu family."
Lu Yin grew agitated and took a step forward. "I don't believe it. The Adventurer King hasn't come looking for me, and you won't admit it either. Did the Four Scales do something to you?"
Lu Yin suddenly said, "Was it a restriction? The Four Scales must have placed a restriction on you as well. Senior, don't worry, I can remove the restrictions on the Four Scales. I was the one who removed the restrictions in the Alliance."
Qiuling was very wary of Lu Yin, but she didn't know why. It was just that when he approached her, she felt a chill that made her subconsciously want to distance herself from him.
Lu Yin stopped in place and looked at her with a complicated expression. "Senior, are you wary of me?"
Qiuling took a deep breath. "I told you, I'm not a remnant of the Lu family, and I don't want to have anything to do with you. Especially now that I belong to Shenwu Plane, I don't want Patriarch Shen Ji to be unhappy."
Lu Yin looked at her bitterly and mocked himself, "I see. Yes, you belong to Shenwu Plane now, so of course you don't want to have anything to do with a remnant of the Lu family."
Qiuling relaxed when Lu Yin didn't move forward. She looked at the fourth base; he should be here.
Just as she thought this, a vast wave of Progenitor power swept across the five bases.
Lu Yin suddenly turned around. "Not good, there's a Progenitor enemy." He looked at Qiuling again and wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't. He left in disappointment. A moment later, E 'Chi appeared and was summoned by Lu Yin to charge towards the fourth base.
Qiuling relaxed when she saw that Lu Yin had summoned a Progenitor. It was finally over. She shouldn't have appeared to help him in the first place, but who would have thought that he would appear in this part of the universe so openly? It was unbelievable.
She took a deep look in the direction of the fourth base and then turned to leave. Suddenly, her expression shook and her gaze became sluggish. Lu Yin walked out from the shadows behind her and merged into her body.
