Xia Ji tried his best to raise his head and stared at Lu Yin. "Are you here to humiliate me?"
"What else?"
Lu Yin retorted.
Xia Ji sneered. "I know that you want to get the Nine Clones Technique from me. The more you humiliate me, the more I want to live, right?"
Lu Yin did not speak and merely looked at him calmly.
Xia Ji spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to raise his head to look at Lu Yin. "You've succeeded. I'll teach you and let you learn the Nine Clones Technique as long as you let me go. You must let me go, and our grudge will end here. With your strength, you won't bother to bicker with me, and I'm no threat to you. Let me go."
Lu Yin let out a long sigh. "If only you'd said that earlier. Unfortunately, you've guessed wrong. I'm actually here to humiliate you."
Xia Ji bellowed, "Aside from me, no one else can teach you the Nine Clones Technique. Do you think that brat Xia Luo can teach you just because he learned it?
I know that you two have a good relationship, but he can't teach you, and neither can Starsibyl. Only I can teach you the Nine Clones Technique. You must let me go. "
Xia Ji was so angry that he was willing to give up all of his dignity in order to live. Lu Yin felt bored. Revenge was only his goal, and he wanted to answer to his past self. However, it did not bring him much joy. It was time to end his grudge with Xia Ji. He grabbed Xia Ji and left.
On Shenwu Continent, Elder Chan had just returned. Crazy Director Shaochen had broken through the Void Realm to become a Half-Progenitor. Elder Chan and the Mist Ancestor had gone to visit the director and had chatted for several days.
Although the crazy director's realm was much lower than theirs, they had all ascended Stargazing Deck countless times and seen the various things that had happened in the past. They had seen through the mortal world and conversed with each other, so there was no difference between them. The Mist Ancestor was the same.
Elder Chan felt that it was a pity that the crazy director had not broken through the three stages and could not become a Progenitor.
"Who are you?
Please state your name, "Elder Chan said as he looked in a certain direction.
There, Xia Zhen walked out with Xia Shenfei.
Xia Shenfei did not ignore Elder Chan because of their different standpoints. He bowed as well. "Junior Xia Shenfei from Shenwu Planet greets Elder Chan."
Elder Chan looked at Xia Zhen. "From Shenwu Planet?"
Xia Zhen. "I've seen you before."
Elder Chan was astonished. "When?"
"During the decisive battle between the Sixth and Fifth Mainlands, you met with Senior Lu Tianyi. At that time, I was also brought along by Xia Shenji," Xia Qin said.
Xia Shenfei didn't expect the two of them to be old acquaintances.
Elder Chan was surprised. "So it's an old friend."
"Back then, you were just a young man, and so was I. Now, we're both old," Xia Qin said. His tone was no longer as cold as before, and it seemed to have softened after seeing an old friend.
Old Zen nodded. "Yes, I'm old now. Sir, are you here for Xia Shenji?"
Xia Qin asked, "Where's Lu Xiaoxuan?
I want to see him. "
Elder Chan replied, "Then we'll have to wait. I need to inform him."
Xia Qin nodded, and his gaze swept past Elder Zen. He looked at the Tower of Resonating Light, and then up at the luck path array. "So that's how it is. This sourcebox array sealed off the path to a parallel dimension, and Xia Shenji was tossed there?"
Old Chan replied, "That's right. If you want to bring Xia Shenji back, then please go back. It's best not to fight when old friends meet."
Xia Zhen was puzzled. "Why are you helping Lu Xiaoxuan?
Is it because of Lu Tianyi's kindness? "
Elder Chan shook his head. "I've already repaid Senior Tianyi's kindness. Lu Xiaoxuan is Lu Xiaoxuan. No, I'm helping Lu Yin, not Lu Xiaoxuan."
"What's the difference?"
Xia Qin didn't understand.
Elder Chan thought for a moment. "The Lu family's heir is a righteous person, and he sees the good side of the world. Because of his standpoint, he will always be like Senior Tianyi, protecting everyone. Regardless of whether it's his innate talent, cultivation, appearance, or personality, he's a nearly perfect person. Lu Yin, on the other hand, is someone who has seen through the ugliness of the world. He's calculative, vicious, and vengeful. He's also a greedy person."
Xia Qin raised an eyebrow. In comparison, Lu Yin really didn't have a good image at all.
"But it's this kind of person who's willing to take on such a huge responsibility. He's using himself as a beacon to illuminate the path forward for humanity. No matter what he does, it's all for the sake of survival. In the end, he'll do everything he can to help humanity survive. This kind of person is worth helping. His bottom line will never be broken," Elder Chan said.
Xia Shenfei listened to Elder Chan's words and Lu Yin's appearance appeared in his mind. So, this was how these people thought of him. Real, too real. Between Lu Xiaoxuan and Lu Yin, one was an illusory perfection, while the other was a real commoner. Humans needed a perfect image to lead them forward, but there were too many people with such an image. The more desperate a situation was, the more they needed someone who knew how to survive to lead the way. Lu Yin was such a person.
How many life and death situations had he experienced in this part of the universe for this Progenitor to be willing to help him?
"I'm even more curious now that you mention it," Xia Qin said. She had always been on the Barbarian Star, and although she was clear about the outside world, she didn't know much about it.
Elder Chan gestured for her to sit down. "I don't mind. Let's sit down and talk. It's rare to meet an old friend."
Xia Qin nodded and sat down across from Elder Chan.
One looked old while the other looked young, as if they were from two different eras. However, strictly speaking, Xia Qin was older than Elder Chan.
Xia Shenfei stood respectfully in the distance and waited quietly, occasionally glancing at the Tower of Resonating Light. Is it here?
Ancestor Shenji has been tricked, and I don't know when he'll return.
Soon enough, a figure that blotted out the sky appeared. The Hellwyrm roared and bared its fangs as it looked around, but there was no one around. It resentfully lowered its claws.
Lu Yin entered Shenwu Continent and appeared between Xia Qin and Elder Chan. "I'm late."
Elder Chan replied, "He's Lu Yin."
Lu Yin looked at Xia Qin, and Xia Qin looked back at him. "Xia Shenji was exiled by you?"
"To be more precise, he took the wrong path," Lu Yin said directly.
Xia Qin frowned. "You're shameless."
Lu Yin calmly asked, "Why are you here, Senior?"
"Can you bring Xia Shenji back?"
Xia Qin asked.
Lu Yin replied, "No."
"Then forget it," Xia Qin said.
Elder Chan was flabbergasted; it was that simple?
Xia Shenfei was not surprised, and neither was Lu Yin, since he knew about Xia Qin.
"You can borrow Xia Shang's power?
How did you get it? "
Xia Qin asked again.
Lu Yin replied, "Senior, let's get straight to the point. I know a bit about you, and I can tell you that my power comes from Sirius, not Progenitor Chen's personal inheritance."
Xia Qin's gaze turned cold. "You know about me?
Who told you that? "
Lu Yin replied, "Senior, you don't have to ask who told you. In short, you hate Shenwu Plane and Progenitor Chen.
Senior owes Shenwu Plane and Progenitor Chen, so I have a plan that can satisfy all of your needs. "
Xia Qin sneered. "You want to help me?"
Lu Yin shook his head and replied seriously, "I'm helping myself. Shenwu Plane banished the Lu family because of Xia Shenji's decision. Since that's the case, I'll make sure that Xia Shenji is banished. Not only will he be banished from our world, but he will also be banished from Shenwu Plane."
Xia Qin did not understand and looked at Lu Yin. "What bold words."
Xia Shenfei stared at Lu Yin, his eyes flashing.
Elder Chan was also curious as to what Lu Yin was going to do.
Lu Yin took out Mount Supreme and released a person. It was Xia Luo.
"Luo Zhong?
Why are you here? "
Xia Shenfei was surprised. Ever since the Starry Sky Tree Expeditionary Force was captured, they all knew that Luo Zhong was Xia Luo, the successor of the Xia Family in this starry sky. However, Xia Ji had already pledged allegiance to the Divine Martial Celestial, so there was no need to mention Xia Luo.
After Lu Yin released the expedition army, Xia Luo also remained in Shenwu Plane. However, because of his status, he was still not welcomed and would cause trouble from time to time.
Xia Shenfei had never cared about Xia Luo, so he had not expected to see him here.
"Senior, we meet again." Xia Luo smiled.
Xia Shenfei looked at Lu Yin in confusion.
Lu Yin replied, "Senior, he's Xia Luo, Progenitor Chen's successor."
Xia Qin stared at Xia Luo with a complicated expression. He seemed excited, but also resentful.
"Senior, you should return what you owe to Progenitor Chen. Please support him in taking control of Shenwu Plane," Lu Yin said.
"No!" Xia Shenfei shouted.
Xia Qin looked at Lu Yin as well. "Let Xia Shang's people take control of Shenwu Plane? You're really good at scheming. It's just as Elder Chan said."
Lu Yin glanced at Elder Chan, not knowing what the old man had said. He continued, "Senior, there's no need to rush. Continue listening to this junior. You've repaid what you owe to Progenitor Chen, but you can also repay what you owe to Shenwu Plane." He looked at Xia Shenfei. "Your father is imprisoned, so you can choose to take control of Shenwu Plane or release your father. I can remove the Death God's Seal from his body."
Xia Shenfei's eyes narrowed. "My father betrayed Shenwu Plane and colluded with you. He-" Lu Yin interrupted. "He's being controlled by the Death God's Seal, and if he doesn't cooperate with me, he'll die. You can agree to remove the seal and return his freedom. As for what happens to him in Shenwu Plane, that has nothing to do with me. You can choose to have Senior support him in taking control of Shenwu Plane and be on equal footing with Xia Luo, or you can choose to take control.
That's your choice. "" What a joke. You don't have the right to take control of Shenwu Plane. Lu Xiaoxuan, do you really think that you can decide the master of Shenwu Plane? "
Xia Shenfei was unhappy.
Lu Yin looked at Xia Zhen and smiled. "Senior, do you want them to experience what happened to you back then?"
Xia Zhen's eyes lit up.
Xia Shenfei's heart sank. Not good, this was Lu Xiaoxuan's plan. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened back then, Xia Zhen had definitely been hurt deeply. Otherwise, as a Progenitor, he wouldn't have stayed out of Shenwu Plane's affairs for so many years.
He looked at Xia Zhen. "Ancestor, don't listen to Lu Xiaoxuan. He's trying to sow discord in Shenwu Plane."
Lu Yin smiled. "That's even more interesting. That's right, I'm trying to sow discord. Shenwu Plane seems to care about this the most."
Xia Zhen closed his eyes. Direct Descendants and Collateral Descendants. Yes, Divine Martial Heaven cared about this the most.
