Lu Yin asked again, "You've never met Madman Lu before?"
Wang Fan replied, "I swear on my own name that I haven't."
Lu Yin looked at Madman Lu. What was going on?
Madman Lu laughed strangely. "You need evidence to frame someone, even if it's fabricated evidence. Little bastard, you're worse than your father. I watched that little bastard Lu Qi grow up. He's such a bastard. You?
You're just a little scheming. "
"I want to see your General Appointment Platform," Lu Yin said in a low voice.
Madman Lu frowned, "You dare to go to the Nightmare Star?"
"Sure," Lu Yin said solemnly, "I have to confirm whether or not you're Redback. This is a responsibility to the entire human race, but you can't go."
Madman Lu's lips curled up, "Sure, go ahead. That platform is stained with the blood of the Lu family."
Since Lu Yin went, Mu Xie naturally followed. Bai Wangyuan and the others exchanged glances, and Madman Lu said, "Let him go." He then stared at the Mist Ancestor, "Look carefully. There's only one chance for a confrontation, and he can't prove that I'm Redback. Don't bother me with this in the future."
The Mist Ancestor stared at Madman Lu blankly. She had never seen this person before, and he had always been imprisoned by the Lu family. Just what was his status in the Lu family?
Lu Yin descended on the Nightmare Star and entered the Nightmare Shrine with ease.
He passed by Drunkard along the way and took the seal away.
He arrived at the dilapidated courtyard and looked at the dusty platform in the corner. This was the one that had tried to kill him the first time. He then looked at the two deep marks on the ground; these must have been left behind when Lu Zheng had knelt here.
Lu Zheng had wanted to become Madman Lu's disciple, but he had failed.
Madman Lu hated the Lu family and wanted to exterminate them. The more he did so, the more important the Lu family was to him. Lu Zheng was just a servant, and even though he had betrayed the Lu family, Madman Lu didn't care about him at all.
Aside from the platform, there was nothing else in the courtyard. The house was even plainer, and there was nothing inside.
Lu Yin left the Nightmare Star and returned to the heavens.
"How was it?"
The Mist Ancestor asked.
Lu Yin shook his head and looked at Madman Lu. "I know you're a redback. I'll keep an eye on you."
Madman Lu laughed maniacally. "I'll keep an eye on you too, little brat. Be careful, don't let me catch you. Otherwise, I'll skin you alive and hang you on the stage."
This confrontation had left Bai Wangyuan and the rest dissatisfied. Lu Yin wanted to accuse Madman Lu without any evidence, so how could he possibly succeed?
Lu Yin asked Wang Fan again, "You really haven't seen Madman Lu?"
Wang Fan replied, "Definitely not."
This was something that Lu Yin had not expected. Even though everyone had their own goals for this confrontation, Lu Yin still had the confidence to confront Madman Lu. Wang Fan, Ancestor Hui, and Patriarch Tianyi had all been present, but why had Wang Fan never seen Madman Lu before?
The Mist Ancestor was very dissatisfied. "You're wasting my time." He then left.
The Four Way Scales dispersed, and Mu Xie left as well. Before he left, he reminded Lu Yin to be careful of Madman Lu once more. He had sensed Madman Lu up close, and he was certain that Madman Lu was terrifyingly powerful. That boiling nightmare energy gave him a feeling of invulnerability.
Lu Yin returned to the Fifth Mainland. He had already obtained the key, and his next step was to enter the heavenly treasury.
While they were confronting each other in outer space, Jiu Hao had taken the key from Qin Shan, while Yu Chen had escaped from the Frigid Immortal Sect.
She had chosen the right moment.
She had chosen the right moment when they were confronting each other.
By the time the confrontation ended, she had already left the Frigid Immortal Sect and met up with two other people. They were Xia Shenji's clone and Liu Shaoge.
Under the guidance of Xia Shenji's clone, the three quickly arrived at the valley below the Wang Family's mainland and waited to enter the Fifth Mainland.
Wang Yan discovered Yu Chen, but he did not pay her any mind. Yu Chen's reputation in the Four Way Scales was quite good, especially for someone like Wang Yan, who would occasionally interact with her.
However, not long after, Wang Yan received news that the Frigid Immortal Sect was looking for Yu Chen. The reason given was that she had taken away something important from the Frigid Immortal Sect.
Wang Yan felt that this was strange, and he immediately sent someone to keep an eye on Yu Chen. In truth, he wanted to stop her here, but the Wang Family was no longer in charge here. Bu Tian was already waiting for her.
This woman wanted to head to the Fifth Mainland, and it was likely that she intended to rely on Lu Yin. If the Wang Family made a move, they would most likely be stopped by Lu Yin's people, which was Bu Tian. Wang Yan decided to follow her for now and wait until they reached the Fifth Mainland. Once she relaxed and separated from Bu Tian, he would then make a move. Also, he did not know anything about the two people beside her.
The person sent by Wang Yan saw Liu Shaoge clearly after entering the Fifth Mainland, but when they arrived, Bu Tian also separated from them. That person wanted to make a move, but there was something wrong with the Fifth Mainland's Astral Source Universe, so that person did not dare to make a move. He could only follow Yu Chen, Liu Shaoge, and the others. After spending more than a month, they finally arrived at Shenwu Continent.
After arriving at Shenwu Continent, the person who had followed Yu Chen clearly saw Xia Shenji's clone's appearance. That person had never seen Xia Shenji before, so the only thing he could do was transmit his appearance back to the Wang Family.
Wang Yan would never have imagined that a random person he had sent to follow Yu Chen would actually see Xia Shenji.
It had been more than a month since Lu Yin had returned to the Fifth Mainland, and it was time to search for the heavenly treasury.
He looked in the direction of Shenwu Continent. Xia Shenji should know by now!
In the Cosmic Tree, when Wang Zheng saw Xia Shenji's appearance, he was stunned.
Xia Shenji?
Why was he on the Fifth Mainland?
And why was he with Yu Chen?
Wang Zheng felt that something was amiss, and he immediately reported this matter to Wang Fan. Wang Fan was stunned as well. "Xia Shenji?
Are you sure that he's with the Frigid Immortal Sect?
And he even went to the Fifth Mainland? "
"I'm sure. This is the appearance that the person who was following them sent back," Wang Zheng replied.
Wang Fan was amused. "If it really is Xia Shenji, how could he have been followed by your people?"
This was something that Wang Zheng found strange as well. "Could it be a disguise?"
Wang Fan suddenly thought of something and had Wang Zheng transmit Yu Chen's and Liu Shaoge's appearances to him while he went to find Bai Wangyuan.
Bai Wangyuan had not expected that Yu Chen would be with someone who had disguised himself as Xia Shenji. "No, why would someone disguise themselves as Xia Shenji?
And he even went to the Fifth Mainland?
Isn't he afraid that Lu Xiaoxuan will find out?
If Lu Xiaoxuan knew that Xia Shenji had gone to the Fifth Mainland, he definitely wouldn't have let him go. If that person was followed by your people, then that means that he isn't very strong. "
"It could also be intentional," Wang Fan said.
The two of them discussed this for a while before deciding to ask Xia Shenji about it. They had another guess, and if their guess was correct, it would explain Xia Shenji's strange behavior.
When Xia Shenji saw Liu Shaoge, Yu Chen, and the person who looked like him, his expression turned gloomy. "Where did they go?"
"Brother Xia, you should explain this matter first," Wang Fan said.
Xia Shenji hesitated.
Bai Wangyuan frowned. "We've already guessed it.
Is it related to the prison lock? "
Xia Shenji looked at the Top Realm, where Lu Tianjing had been. "It's him."
"Didn't you say that he was dead?"
Bai Wangyuan questioned.
Wang Fan said, "We used his death as the price to release the prison lock to trap Lu Tianjing. This was what we had discussed before, but you went back on your word."
Xia Shenji said, "I told you that there was no need to sacrifice him. As long as he was imprisoned, the prison lock's power would still be able to trap Lu Tianjing. In the end, you saw that Lu Tianjing couldn't escape from the prison lock."
"Do you know how dangerous that is?"
Wang Fan was unhappy. "Once the prison lock's power isn't enough to banish the Lu family, everything will be over."
Xia Shenji didn't care. "Does the Lu family dare to fight to the death with us?
Alright, there's no need to say anything more. It's already happened. In any case, he's not dead, and there's no need for him to die. I want him to become one of the nine clones again. "
Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan exchanged glances, their expressions grim.
They knew very well why Xia Shenji had left this clone behind; it was to guard against them. Xia Shenji had nine clones, and losing one was equivalent to having one more weakness. Sacrificing a clone would have a huge impact on Xia Shenji, but they had already paid a sufficient price for it. It could only be said that Xia Shenji was too greedy. Not only had he received the price of sacrificing a clone, but he had also kept it.
It was no wonder that the clone had escaped. Xia Shenji had been chasing him for three years.
"Now isn't the time to settle old scores. Tell me, where did that clone go?
Since you saw it, you must know where it is, "Xia Shenji asked, staring at Wang Fan.
Wang Fan's eyes flashed. "Your clone went to the Fifth Mainland."
"The abandoned land?"
Xia Shenji was confused. "Yuchen and that Liu Shaoge? Did they side with Lu Xiaoxuan?"
"No, my men didn't discover that they went to find Lu Xiaoxuan," Wang Fan said.
Bai Wangyuan continued, "That's even more troublesome. No matter how weak your clone is, it's still comparable to a Half-Ancestor. How could the Wang family's men catch up to it? Lu Xiaoxuan must have used them to lure you to the Fifth Mainland. Three years ago, you were inexplicably injured because of this clone, right?"
Xia Shenji naturally guessed it. "Lu Xiaoxuan wants to lure me to the Fifth Mainland. It's normal for him to scheme against me, but he's underestimating me. I have to go and capture that clone."
"Lu Xiaoxuan isn't stupid. Since he wants to lure you to the Fifth Mainland, he must have made preparations," Bai Chi said.
Wang Fan added, "That's right. With our understanding of Lu Xiaoxuan, he wouldn't do something he wasn't confident in."
Xia Shenji asked, "What if I tell you that the clone has the ability to sense the prison lock? Should we capture him?"
Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan were shocked. "The ability to sense the prison lock?
What do you mean? "
Xia Shenji's expression turned ugly. "Do you really think that we've imprisoned him for so many years because we can't bear to part with him?
Actually, I want to use him to sense the Lu family's whereabouts. After all these years, the Lu family hasn't disappeared because the prison lock is still there. "
Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan's expressions changed. This was bad news for them.
"Are you sure?"
Bai Wangyuan asked. "Brother Xia, you can't joke about this. If the Lu family is still there and Lu Xiaoxuan has found their location and brought them back, it'll be troublesome. Not just us, but everyone will be in trouble. The Lu family isn't to be trifled with."
Xia Shenji was helpless. "I don't want to believe it either. I also hope that he's lying to me, so we have to capture him and interrogate him."
"I'll go with you," Wang Fan said.
Bai Chi said, "Me too."
