"How can I do that? I'm the only one. If I give it to you, what should I do?"
Lu Yin replied.
"Without the coordinates, how are we supposed to return?"
"I won't seal it. Just come back."
These words made Elder Chan embarrassed. If Bai Wangyuan and the others dared to enter, Elder Chan was certain that Lu Yin would not hesitate to seal off the passage and throw them into a parallel space-time.
Lu Yin's expression was serious and sincere, but in the eyes of Bai Wangyuan and the others, it was shameless.
Wang Fan arrived. "Where's Gui Zu?"
"Let's go in," Bai Yan said.
Wang Fan was puzzled. He glanced at Lu Yin and then at the spatial tear. "Is that a parallel spacetime?"
"Gui Zu went in, the coordinates are in Lu Xiaoxuan's hands. He told us to go in and find Gui Zu," Xia Zhen said.
Wang Fan stared blankly at Lu Yin. "You're letting us in?"
Lu Yin pursed his lips, "It's up to you whether you want to enter or not. In any case, Gui Zu is inside."
"Lu Xiaoxuan, this matter has nothing to do with you. Gui Zu leaked my Cold Immortal Sect's and Divine Martial Heaven's techniques, so he must be dealt with," Bai Ze said.
Lu Yin replied, "It has nothing to do with me, so I won't interfere. Do as you please."
"Give us the coordinates, we'll go and find Gui Zu," Xia Qin said.
"There's death qi in there, and that's the power that I cultivate. How could I possibly leave any traces of you behind? What if you sneak in and attack me while I'm cultivating? Wouldn't I be dead for sure?"
Xia Zhen and Wang Fan looked at Bai Wangyuan.
Bai Wangyuan nodded. "There's a deathly aura beneath the Eternal Kingdom."
"There's even Death Qi here, wouldn't we be at a disadvantage if we went in to look for Gui Zu?"
Xia Zhen raised an eyebrow.
Bai Wangyuan and Wang Fan looked at each other.
What loss could he possibly suffer?
No matter how much Death Qi there was, how much could Gui Zu increase his strength?
Nine Mountains Eight Seas was different from ordinary Ancestor Realm experts. Even though Gui Zu cultivated the power of the Death God, he was not the Death God's successor, so the characteristics of his Death Qi were not enough to make up for the gap between him and Nine Mountains Eight Seas.
The aura of death originated from the Death God, while the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas originated from the Primogenitor.
"They're not looking for me, so they won't do anything to me." He then pointed at the nearby Commander Appointment Stage. "Besides, I'm capable of protecting myself."
On the Fifth Mainland, not only could he use various Progenitor Realm techniques, but he could also borrow Progenitor Chen's strength. It would not be easy to deal with him. Moreover, Elder Chan was always there.
Elder Chan nodded. "Then, be careful." He also needed to oversee Shenwu Continent to prevent any accidents from happening.
Soon, Elder Chan left.
Lu Yin faced off against Bai Wangyuan, Wang Fan, and Xia Zhen by himself.
However, just as he said, Bai Wangyuan and the others were not looking for trouble with him, nor did they intend to violate the agreement. They would not attack him, even if it was because of the matter with Gui Zu. If there was no other choice, he would hand over the coordinates.
The starry space was silent, only the sounds from the constellations could be heard.
No flying ships dared to approach this area. Even from afar, they were intimidated by the power of the Progenitor Realm.
Lu Yin propped up his chin with one hand and sat on the Prison Wyrm's head as he watched Bai Wangyuan and the others discuss.
Soon after, Bai Wangyuan said, "Tell Gui Zu to come out. We won't do anything to him, and we also believe that he wasn't the one who leaked the Secret Art. However, the truth of this matter must be investigated."
Lu Yin pointed at Eternal Kingdom, "Go talk to him."
"Lu Xiaoxuan, this matter originally had nothing to do with you, but you provided this spacetime for Gui Zu to hide. No matter how you look at it, you can't stand it.
Even if Mu Xie comes, he has no reason to help you. You can't do whatever you want in this universe. Since you've already interfered, there are some things that need to be done by you. "
Lu Yin retorted, "Are you trying to reason with me?"
"You can say that," Bai Yan replied.
Lu Yin thought about it. "Alright, I'll help you talk to Gui Zu." He then entered Eternal Kingdom. Bai Wangyuan and the others were stunned. Was it that easy?
Within the Eternal Kingdom, Lu Yin greeted Gui Zu after entering and then turned around to leave, leaving Gui Zu at a loss.
"He's not coming out," Lu Yin said directly.
Xia Zhen frowned. "He's not coming out because he's guilty."
"I think so too. Why don't you guys go in and fight?"
Lu Yin asked.
Xia Zhen felt that Lu Yin was rather hateful. The last time they had met, due to past grievances and because it involved the Xia family, they had completed a deal. Their standpoints were similar, and she felt that Lu Yin was just as Elder Chan had said: ruthless and scheming. This time, however, their standpoints were different. She felt that Lu Yin was not only shameless and liked to lie through his teeth, but he also had the initiative at every turn.
Wang Fan said, "Lu Xiaoxuan, let Gui Zu come out. We definitely won't do anything to him."
Lu Yin replied, "He's not coming out."
"Ask again," Wang Fan said.
Lu Yin sighed. "I really shouldn't have come. Your matters have nothing to do with me." He then entered Eternal Kingdom again and left under Gui Zu's confused gaze. "He's not coming out."
Wang Fan's eyes narrowed. "What if we swear that we won't do anything to him?"
Bai Wangyuan and Xia Zhen looked at Wang Fan in surprise.
Lu Yin was shocked. "You're really taking care of Gui Zu. You can even swear something like that?
Regardless of whether he leaked the cultivation method or not, at the very least, he must have stolen the cultivation method. How could you forgive him for that?
No, he leaked the techniques of the Frozen Immortal Sect and the Shenwu Plane, so it has nothing to do with your Wang family. Wang Fan, why are you being so proactive? "
Wang Fan said. "The cultivation techniques of the Frigid Immortal Sect and Divine Martial Plane have already been leaked. If there's another leak, it'll definitely be from my Wang Clan. Since he stole the cultivation techniques of the Frigid Immortal Sect and Divine Martial Plane, how could he not steal the cultivation techniques of my Wang Clan?"
Lu Yin praised, "As expected of Ancestor Wang Fan, you're very thoughtful. Alright, I'll ask again." Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly thought of something. "Since Ancestor Wang Fan is so sure that Gui Zu stole your Wang family's techniques, can you really not do anything to him?"
Xia Zhen replied, "Senior Wang Fan, my Shenwu Plane's techniques have already been leaked, and Gui Zu cannot escape responsibility. If we don't pursue him, will anyone else be able to steal our techniques in the future?"
Although Bai Wangyuan did not say anything, his meaning was the same.
They hoped that Gui Zu would come out and investigate the matter, but it was impossible for them to swear that they would not attack him.
Wang Fan replied, "What I mean is that we shouldn't attack him now and wait until we investigate the matter."
Lu Yin agreed, "That's true. Once we investigate the matter, it won't be too late to act if Gui Yuan really did steal the techniques."
At that moment, Wang Fan's wireless gu vibrated, and he accepted the call.
"Ancestor, we've discovered a Gui Yuan disciple hiding in our Wang family's continent."
The wireless gu was transmitted through movement, and Wang Fan saw it. Bai Wangyuan, Xia Zhen, and the rest also saw it.
Wang Fan's expression sank, and he replied, "Are you sure it's Gui Yuan's people?"
"Definitely. They used death energy and the Meditative Forgetting Technique."
Bai Wangyuan sneered, "Your Wang family's people.
Even our family was not spared. What a Gui Yuan. "
Wang Fan's expression turned ugly, "Where is he?"
"He escaped."
Wang Fan was furious, "The great Wang family actually allowed someone to come and go as they please?"
The other side was terrified, "Not just one person. There are others in the family and outside the continent."
Wang Fan angrily crushed the wireless gu and stared at the parallel spacetime.
Lu Yin laughed, "Ancestor Wang Fan is truly worthy of being called Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. You can even predict things. You guessed correctly, and the next technique to be leaked will be your Wang family's techniques."
Wang Fan stared at Lu Yin, "Have Gui Zu come out."
Lu Yin shrugged, "If he doesn't come out, you can go in and find him yourself."
"I remember that there are Specters in your abandoned land," Wang Fan suddenly said as he stared at Lu Yin.
Bai Wangyuan and Xia Zhen also looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin calmly replied, "Yes. Do you suspect that it was done by the Specters in our region?"
Wang Fan replied, "We'll know once we investigate."
Lu Yin replied, "Sure. Back then, the Specters sought refuge with the Eternals to protect themselves. After the Eternals were blocked outside the Starfall Sea, they sought refuge with the Absolute Ones and rebelled against me. I captured all of them and put them under surveillance. There are records of how many of them there are and what their cultivation levels are.
Bai Wangyuan did not believe that the Specters had the ability to steal their techniques. "It should be Gui Yuan. Stealing techniques isn't something that can be done overnight. How long has it been since our two spacetimes came into contact?"
Wang Fan muttered to himself, his thoughts unknown.
"The truth is obvious. Only Gui Yuan can cultivate death energy and waste time to steal our techniques. Lu Yin, what will it take for you to hand over Gui Zu?"
Xia Zhen asked.
Lu Yin was troubled, "It's not that I don't want to, but …" "What will it take for you to hand over the coordinates?
Just say it, "Bai Min said.
They no longer wanted to negotiate with Gui Zu.
Wang Fan looked up at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was also troubled, "Since that's the case …" He was about to say that he would accompany Bai Wangyuan and Xia Zhen. As for the coordinates, he would not hand them over. Of course, he had already thought of the conditions, but before he could say anything, an even more shocking piece of news arrived that suppressed the matter of Gui Zu.
Bai Xianer was about to break through.
Bai Wangyuan looked at the wireless gu and was stunned for a moment before becoming overjoyed. He sent a message over, "Xian 'er is about to break through to Half-Ancestor?"
"Yes." It was Bai Sheng.
Lu Yin's gaze trembled; Bai Xianer really wasn't a Half-Ancestor?
He had always been guessing Bai Xianer's strength. Several decades ago, the Fifth Mainland's three gates had been broken through, and Bai Xianer had crushed a Sixth Mainland's Half-Ancestor to death with a single finger. With such a cultivation, she should have been a Half-Ancestor. However, many people had said that she had not broken through to Half-Ancestor, while others had said that she had broken through long ago. In short, there were all sorts of rumors, and Lu Yin couldn't differentiate between the truth and lies.
He had also asked Senior Mu Xie about it, but Senior Mu Xie's answer was that she had not broken through to Half-Ancestor yet. This was because he had not sensed the inner world of a Half-Ancestor from her body.
Now, she was finally about to break through.
Bai Xianer's breakthrough was not good news for anyone other than the Frozen Immortal Sect, including the Xia and Wang families.
Wang Fan's expression immediately changed.
Lu Yin's expression also turned ugly. He was already apprehensive that Bai Xianer had not broken through to Half-Ancestor yet. Once she did, she would only be a step away from the Progenitor realm. With Bai Xianer's foundation, she should have broken through to Half-Ancestor long ago, but she had only broken through now. Lu Yin could not imagine how deep her foundation was.
