At the entrance to the back of the battlefield, Lu Yin put away his sourcebox and looked at Mu Shang, "Are you convinced?"
Mu Shang stared at Lu Yin with the help of others, "You learned the Hidden Corner."
Lu Yin sneered, "Not convinced?
If I can beat you once, I can beat you again and again. I'll give you time to recover, and I'll look for you the moment I officially become an Origin Array Heavenly Master. "He then bade farewell to Gu Yan and the others and prepared to leave.
Mu Shang's expression turned ugly; Lu Yin's arrogant attitude made him feel like he was giving out charity. Inexplicably, the same scene played out in front of him as a youth who resembled Lu Yin appeared, looking down at him with a smile.
Pfft!
Mu Shang spat out another mouthful of blood, and he nearly fainted from anger.
Lu Yin found it strange; he had only said one sentence, but he had spat out blood again. Was his injury that serious?
"Eh? Why are we seeing that planet here?" someone exclaimed. Then, everyone looked up and saw a magnificent scene.
A red planet had appeared in the dark sky, its color resplendent and dazzling.
Lu Yin also looked up and frowned; was this the Bad Star?
He had once merged with the body of someone called Si Sen, who was a protector of the Temple of Bad Star. This planet was clearly the Bad Star.
It was one of the seven main planets in the outside world, and it shouldn't have been visible at the back of the battlefield. Even if it could be seen, it should have been there long ago. Could it have just appeared?
Just as he was thinking about this, the Hellwyrm suddenly stood up and bared its fangs as it stared at the Bad Star with a solemn expression.
Lu Yin stared at the red planet as a black dot approached. It was getting closer and closer, constantly shuttling through the void and causing ripples to form in the void before tearing it apart.
Was that a General Appointment Platform?
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed as he stared at the descending object. Wasn't that a General Appointment Platform?
Gu Yan, Kui Luo, and the Culinary God all looked up at the approaching black dot. It was a General Appointment Platform.
The General Appointment Platform belonged to the Lu family, and no one had expected it to appear here.
When he saw that it was a platform, he was confused. Whose platform was this?
Was there someone alive in the Lu family?
Suddenly, a warning sign appeared in his mind. An indescribable sense of crisis made his nerves jump. An intense chill rose from his back. He subconsciously wanted to escape. There was a killing intent, an incomparable killing intent.
With no time to think, Lu Yin immediately wanted to borrow Lu Jian's rune lines, but in an instant, the Point General Platform descended and suppressed Lu Yin. The platform was covered in dust, and there was even a dark red residue on its surface. With the appearance of the Point General Platform, the battlefield behind him seemed to come to a standstill. A violent, tyrannical Progenitor's power caused everyone, the Corpse King, and the beasts to freeze in place. That power was like a bloodthirsty purgatory, causing everyone to go crazy and suffocate.
This was a berserk sensation. The moment it appeared, the darkest side of everyone's heart erupted, causing countless people's eyes to turn dark red.
Lu Yin stared fixedly at the Point General Appointment Platform that was suppressing him, but he could not move. He was clearly under the same Progenitor's pressure, but he had been prepared against Xia Shenji and the others. However, he was not prepared for this power. The rumbling of the suppression, the Hellwyrm's low roar, and his own heartbeat filled his mind. At that moment, he seemed to see a pair of crazy eyes through the Point General Appointment Platform.
He had seen these eyes before when he had been traveling through spacetime. They belonged to Madman Lu.
From the red planet's appearance to the Point General Appointment Platform
The Point General Appointment Platform seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, but it had only been an instant. Even Mu Xie, who was a Ruler, had not been able to block it in time. He could only watch as the Point General Appointment Platform descended on Lu Yin's head and suppressed him without him being able to react.
At this moment, no one could help him. Even if he had a corpse and a pair of slippers in his cosmic ring, he could not move.
This moment had been premeditated for a long time, and it had come from someone who had not even thought of giving Lu Yin a chance to resist.
The gaze fell, and there was a bloodthirsty madness within it. Everyone from the Lu family had to die.
Everyone who saw this scene was certain that Lu Yin would definitely die, and even Lu Yin himself felt that he would definitely die. When the Point General Appointment Platform descended, there would be nothing left of Lu Yin's corpse, and even his Arcane Art of Life and Death would be useless.
At that moment, the void in front of Lu Yin's eyes split open, and a hand reached out and slapped the Point General Appointment Platform. The suppressive momentum of the Point General Appointment Platform was stopped, and it was immediately pushed back.
This unforeseen event only lasted for an instant. When the Point General Appointment Platform was pushed back, the hand also disappeared. All Lu Yin could see were the numerous scars on the back of the hand, and he could also vaguely hear two words: "Was it worth it?"
Lu Yin did not know if he had heard wrong.
He wanted to clearly see the owner of the hand, but the void returned to normal, and everything returned to normal. There was only a trace of gray that flowed around; this was a trace of time.
Lu Yin looked at the gray. The power of time … Could it be Senior Mu Xie?
At that moment, a glowing Evil Śarīra appeared in space behind the battlefield, and Mu Xie appeared. He looked up at the red planet. "I won't allow you to attack again."
The red planet did not reply, and it simply vanished like a curtain call.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. That tyrannical power had almost caused them to lose control of themselves. Even Half-Ancestors felt the same way.
Gu Yan stared deeply into space. What a terrifying Progenitor power! If it had not come from the Outer Realm, he would have thought that an Eternal Progenitor had attacked.
Kui Luo hurried to Lu Yin's side. "Kid, are you alright?"
Lu Yin shook his head and looked into space. Mu Xie had landed.
Everyone bowed. "Greetings, Governor."
"Greetings, Governor."
Mu Xie sized Lu Yin up with a solemn expression. "Are you alright?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "If Senior Mu hadn't acted in time, I would have died."
Mu Xie replied, "I haven't acted yet."
Lu Yin did not understand. "The one who pushed the Point General Appointment Platform out wasn't Senior Mu Xie?"
Everyone was shocked. Senior Mu Xie?
Governor Mu Xie was Lu Xiaoxuan's senior?
Only a few people knew about this, and the Four Cardinal Scales could not possibly spread the news for Lu Yin. They were eager for everyone to think that Lu Yin was bait that they had used to lure out the remaining members of the Lu family, just like Qiao 'er.
Mu Xie shook his head. "It wasn't me."
Lu Yin had not expected that it had not been Senior Mu Xie. Then who was it?
That greyness was clearly the power of time. Among the Progenitors that Lu Yin knew of, only Xia Shenji and Mu Xie had the power of time. Even if the others had the power, they would not have been able to push the Point General Appointment Platform out. Wait, if it was the power of time, then could that palm have come from the River of Time?
Could it have come from the past, or could it have come from the future?
"Do you know who attacked you?"
Mu Xie asked.
Lu Yin nodded.
"Return to the Fifth Mainland. Madman Lu won't let you off. He's a madman," Mu Xie said gravely.
He was confident that the Four Cardinal Scales would be wary of him because they cared about too many things. The more they cared, the easier it would be for others to exploit their weaknesses. However, Madman Lu was different.
He was a madman, and there was no way to reason with a madman.
Lu Yin glanced at Xia Ziheng and the others from the Four Cardinal Scales. How had Madman Lu known that he was coming?
The Four Cardinal Scales must have told him, and the most likely culprit was Xia Shenji.
Lu Yin had been too careless. He had thought that he would be safe with Lu Jian's Point General Appointment Platform and the Caged Wyrm, but in reality, other than the Four Cardinal Scales, there were still other powerful Progenitors in this region who could act against him.
Of course, Lu Yin's reliance was not weak. Aside from Madman Lu, it was very difficult for anyone else to pose such a threat to him. The main reason was that he had been confused by the Point General Appointment Platform. If it had not been the Point General Appointment Platform but something else, he would have had time to react.
Who would have thought that the power that had almost killed him was the one that he was most familiar with?
"Don't worry, Senior Mu. He won't have a second chance," Lu Yin said sternly.
Mu Xie looked at Lu Yin. "No one knows what tricks Madman Lu has up his sleeves. The fact that he betrayed the Lu family means that he has no bottom line. It's best if you go back." He then left and returned to the Sovereign Realm. From start to finish, he did not ask who had helped Lu Yin. Lu Yin guessed that it had been him, but that meant that Lu Yin himself did not know.
This was interesting. Lu Yin knew that Mu Xie was right. The safest way was to return to the Fifth Mainland, but he still had things to do in this region. Madman Lu was clearly colluding with the Eternals, but the Four Cardinal Scales did not seem to know. Otherwise, they would not have allowed him to be on Nightmare Planet. Madman Lu was on Nightmare Planet, and he should be that Nightmare Ancestor.
The sudden killing intent caused everyone's expressions to turn grave.
Many people were happy that Lu Yin had been killed, but they also thought about themselves. If even Lu Yin, who could fight against a Progenitor, had almost been killed, what about the others?
They felt as if their fates were being controlled by someone else.
Even though they had always known that Progenitors could control their lives, no Progenitor had ever acted against them. Now, they had all experienced it firsthand.
Even Xia Ziheng, Wu Yao, and the other Half-Ancestors were terrified.
Mu Xie returned to the Sovereigns' Realm, but he did not look for Bai Wangyuan and the others. He had guessed that these people must have told Madman Lu about Lu Yin's appearance. Otherwise, with Madman Lu's personality of always being in seclusion, he would not have known about Lu Yin's appearance.
From Bai Wangyuan's point of view, they had not done anything wrong. Madman Lu had attacked, not them, and everyone knew that they wished for Lu Yin's death.
In the Sovereigns' Realm, Bai Wangyuan retracted his gaze, his expression uncertain. "Someone helped Lu Xiaoxuan push Madman Lu out of the stage. Who was it?"
"Mu Xie?
No, he didn't react in time, "Wang Fan said.
Xia Shenji said, "If even Mu Xie, who was watching the battlefield from the back, didn't react in time, who else could have helped Lu Xiaoxuan?"
The Dragon Ancestor guessed, "Don't forget that these three have a master."
Bai Wangyuan raised his brows. "Stop pretending. Even if they do have the same master, it must be someone we know. So what if we trace it back to the era of the Above Heaven Sect?"
Wang Fan shook his head. "That might not be the case. Because of the three of them, we thought too highly of their mysterious master. But what if he's just an ordinary Progenitor?
For example, Lu Xiaoxuan's master, E 'Chi, existed before we became famous. If E' Chi had wanted to take us as his disciples back then, it wouldn't have been impossible. After all, he was a Progenitor, and now, E 'Chi is nothing to us. "
"So you're saying that their master is just an ordinary Progenitor who hasn't left much of a stir in history? He's not from the same generation as us, and perhaps his seniority is higher than ours, which is why we haven't interacted with him before?"
Bai Wangyuan asked.
