Lu Yin wasn't used to this; one person and three words were enough to change the attitudes of so many powerhouses. Just how much prestige did this person have?
"Junior doesn't understand." Lu Yin was puzzled.
Chou Huo looked at Xu Wuji, "Xuan Qi joining the Horizon Manor was the best decision you've ever made in your life."
Xu Wuji sneered, "Do I need you to tell me that?"
Chou Huo looked at Lu Yin again, "I didn't do anything wrong here, so there's no need to mention this. He joined the new inn, and the inn helped him block his enemies, so he should have stayed behind like these people. However, he broke the rules, and the new inn cannot tolerate someone like him.
"Everyone here has their own story, and they have their own reasons for leaving, but they all stayed behind. The rules were set for them, and once they break the rules, the new inn will lose all meaning. Do you understand?"
Lu Yin nodded. "I understand. I'm very grateful that Senior is willing to tell me so much. However, I was forced to expose the Old Lunatic. He's a hateful person who broke the rules of the new inn, but to me, he's just a subordinate. I don't know what I can do to appease the new inn's resentment and fix the rules."
Chou Huo looked away, "Rules are rules, and no one is allowed to break them. The people here don't care about their lives, but they care about the rules. The rules are their lives."
"Can't we even meet?"
Xu Wuji barked.
The atmosphere in the inn grew tense again, and everyone glared at Xu Wuji. It was as if they would attack as soon as Chou Huo gave the order.
There was a moment of silence.
Chou Huo said, "Out of respect for Senior Xu Wuwei, we can allow Xuan Qi and the old man to meet." He then waved a hand, and a man walked out and said to Lu Yin, "Come with me."
Lu Yin looked at Xu Wuji.
Xu Wuji nodded.
Lu Yin followed the man out of the main hall and towards the top of the inn. They soon reached the top, which was outside the stone city of the new inn.
Void God's power whirlpool swept past like a gale.
Off in the distance, the old man was sitting cross-legged.
When Lu Yin arrived, he opened his eyes and was shocked to see Lu Yin, "Acting Manor Lord?
Why are you here? "
Lu Yin walked up, "I didn't expect you to have such experience. You actually escaped from the new inn."
The old lunatic said bitterly, "I knew I had my reasons, so I didn't want to reveal my cultivation base. I was afraid I'd be captured."
The man who had brought Lu Yin up was disgusted. "The new inn saved your life, but you broke the rules. You deserve to die."
Lu Yin asked, "Is the new inn's punishment for you to stay here?"
The Crazy Man replied, "Until death do us part."
Lu Yin's expression changed; this punishment was severe enough.
This was the frontline of the battlefield, a powerful undead king could appear at any time. This meant that the Insane Old Man would have to face the constant attacks of undead kings until he died.
"Acting Lord, you said you would protect me," the old lunatic begged.
It wasn't that he didn't want to take the boy away, but how was he supposed to do that?
Looking at Chou Huo's attitude, meeting him once was the limit.
The man sneered, "You don't know how to repent when things have come to a head. You're a coward."
The old man roared, "I'm not afraid of death! I have unfinished business!"
"Who here doesn't have unfinished business?"
The man barked; he was also a Void-Transformation Realm expert.
The old lunatic's entire body trembled, "I didn't kill Master's family. After escaping from the new inn, I spent decades searching and finally found their bloodline.
I've been waiting for the murderer to come out. I want to avenge Master, and I don't care what others think of me. I don't care if I die at the hands of others, as long as I can avenge Master. "He then looked at Lu Yin with hope," Acting Lord, please save me. I can die, but I have to avenge Master's family before dying. I can't die here, Acting Lord, you promised to protect me. "
"Shut up!" the man barked.
Lu Yin asked, "Can you let me talk to the old lunatic alone?"
The man was troubled.
"Senior Chou Huo agreed to let me see him, but he didn't say he could monitor me."
The man looked at Lu Yin, "You can't take him away from the new inn. Don't do anything unnecessary."
"Don't worry."
The man left, leaving only Lu Yin and the old lunatic.
The old lunatic looked at Lu Yin expectantly, "Acting Lord, I know it'll be difficult to take me away from the new inn, but I beg you, please try."
Lu Yin muttered, "I'll try. You wouldn't have been exposed if not for me. Since I promised you, I'll do my best to protect you, but if I can't, I'll do my best to fulfill your wish."
The old lunatic's eyes lit up, "Master should have died at the hands of a half-Terrant from the Three Monarchs Spacetime."
Lu Yin was surprised, "A half-Terrant from the Three Monarchs Spacetime?"
"They're like the Void Transformation Stage cultivators of the Void Transformation Stage, and they're absolute experts. My respected teacher was unable to escape with his cultivation at the Void Transformation Stage. When I reached my respected teacher, all traces of him had been erased, and many of my respected teacher's friends had arrived too quickly. That was a trap, a trap set up for me. But before I escaped, I saw traces of a space-time battle technique that belonged to the three sovereigns. It should be the Sovereign King Arrow, a battle technique that uses the Sovereign King's Qi to create extremely powerful arrows."
"With my teacher's cultivation, for the Sovereign King Arrow to be effective, the person who used it must have an extremely powerful Sovereign King Qi, but I am not sure if my teacher died from the Sovereign King Arrow or not."
Lu Yin was puzzled, "If you can see the traces of the arrow, why can't others?"
The old lunatic gritted his teeth, "That's where the problem lies. Master didn't die from the arrow, but there were traces of the arrow at the scene. I said it, but when they searched again, the traces were gone. Someone in the group who was chasing me must have erased the traces. As long as we find that person, we'll be able to find Master's killer."
"I'm a wandering cultivator, and if it wasn't for Master, I wouldn't have had the chance to reach the Void Change realm. Master, Master's wife, and his family treated me very well, so I can't let his death be in vain. I'll find the killer even if it means risking my life."
Lu Yin asked, "So you're saying that if we can find the person who killed your master with the Sovereign Arrow, that person could very well be the killer?"
The old lunatic bitterly replied, "It's possible, but it's also possible that it's just a cover. The person who did it might have learned the Sovereign Arrow, but not from the Three Monarchs Spacetime."
"That's difficult to find." Lu Yin felt a headache coming on. Before the Hexagon Training Grounds appeared, the civilizations of the Hexagon Society had merged before. No one knew who had learned which civilization's power, just like how people from the Reincarnation Spacetime could challenge the Void Gate or how people from the Void God Spacetime could buy energy sources.
The Sovereign Aura wasn't that difficult to learn.
"I've been searching for decades, and it wasn't easy to find a descendant of my master's bloodline. If the killer finds out, he might make a move," the old lunatic said.
Lu Yin raised a brow, "Who told Senior Chou Kong about your whereabouts?"
The old lunatic froze, his eyes narrowing, "You mean …?"
"I'm not sure, but it looks like I'll have to go back as soon as possible." He then turned to leave.
"Acting Academy Master, my life is fine, please avenge my master!" the old lunatic shouted.
Lu Yin turned his back to the lunatic and left, but before he left, he said, "Who doesn't have unfinished business in the new inn?
Even Senior Chou Kong is the same. I'll do my best to fulfill my promise to you. If you can survive, then do your best to live. "He then left.
The old lunatic stared at the empty rooftop with a complicated expression. How could he not want to live?
But his master's death had to be avenged.
Lu Yin returned to the main hall.
Xu Wuji looked at him.
"The old lunatic's punishment on Tiantai is to wait until he dies," Lu Yin said softly.
Xu Wuji frowned and looked at Chou Kong, "That's too cruel. What's the point of capturing him?
You might as well have killed him. "
Chou Kong was cold, "Those who break the rules won't die so easily."
"You're not targeting me, are you?" Xu Wuji was unhappy.
Chou Kong replied, "You're not worthy."
Xu Wuji was furious.
Lu Yin asked, "Senior, is there really no way for us to take him away?"
Chou Kong looked at Lu Yin, "Senior Xu Wuwei enlightened me, which is why I have the new inn. I'll let you see him out of respect for you, but that ends here. Please leave."
"A life for a life," Lu Yin said loudly.
Everyone looked at him in shock.
The woman with heavy makeup cried out, "You want to trade his life?"
"Of course not." Lu Yin looked at Chou Huo. "The purpose of the new inn's existence is to die a worthy death for humanity. Since that's the case, I'll use the life of an Everlasting's Void-Realm powerhouse in exchange for the crazy old man's life."
Chou Kong looked at Lu Yin strangely, "You have the confidence to say such words. You're worthy of Taixuan. It seems like you're very confident in dealing with the Everlasting."
Xu Wuji was pleased, "Xuan Qi has eliminated almost all of the Void God space-time spies."
Chou Kong didn't mind, "But with me, you can't break the new inn's rules no matter how many spies you kill, not even a Void Transformation Realm corpse king."
"Two," Lu Yin said.
"Little brother, you're too arrogant. You're only at the Void Realm," someone reminded him.
Lu Yin saw that Chou Kong was still unmoved, "Three."
Xu Wuji raised his brows, "Xuan Qi."
Lu Yin acted as if he hadn't heard and continued, "Four."
Chou Kong looked deeply at Lu Yin, "You want to trade the lives of four Void Transformation Realm corpse kings for the old lunatic's life?"
Lu Yin raised his head, "That's right." Four half-ancestor corpse kings wasn't a lot. He had killed the twelve Marquises on the back of the battlefield, and he had also destroyed God Witchcraft Spirit's avatar in the Void God Space-Time. That was an avatar that could challenge a Progenitor, but it had still died at Lu Yin's hands.
As long as no Progenitor intervened, Lu Yin would be able to dominate the battlefield. He could kill any corpse king he saw, and they wouldn't be able to escape.
Chou Kong nodded, "Four Void Transformation Realm corpse kings can trade for the old lunatic's life. According to the new inn's rules, you have the right to make it up to him once."
Lu Yin sighed.
"But you can't take him away," Chou Kong continued, his gaze cold.
"Chou Kong, four Void Transformation Realm corpse kings can't even take the old lunatic away?
You're too evil! "Xu Wuji shouted in dissatisfaction.
