"Spirit Seal Flowzone, Watermoon Villa's An Shaohua," the trialtaker said. After he finished speaking, he suddenly saw Zhanlong Daynight lying on top of the energy seal. The trialtaker's eyes shrank, and he looked at An Shaohua with fear.
"Since Brother Lu isn't trapped, why aren't you leaving?" An Shaohua probed.
Lu Yin smiled. "I'll tell you later."
An Shaohua looked at Lu Yin deeply, but he didn't think too much about it. He sat down, as there was no point in thinking too much.
Soon after, another man appeared. He was just as surprised as An Shaohua at Lu Yin's presence.
"May I know who you are?" Lu Yin asked.
"Chaos Flowzone, Astral Mountain's Alfonso."
Then, a woman appeared.
"May I know who you are?"
"Bard Weave, Evenground Palace's Doro."
"May I know who you are?"
"Suna Weave, Moke Sword Sect's Shi Sandao."
"May I know who you are?"
"Ascension Flowzone, Xun family's Xun Jiong."
…
Those who dared to participate in the Outerverse trial were all extraordinary people. Even so, Lu Yin had not expected so many powers to be gathered here. There were more than ten powers from both the Outerverse and Innerverse, including Han Chong's Han family and Yue Xianzi's Frostmoon Sect. If these people died here, the Darkmist Weave would be in turmoil.
Lu Yin was even more certain that these people had backup plans, but he was also certain that the defenses of this place far exceeded their expectations. This was where Ming Taizhong had been buried.
"Lu Yin, you haven't left?"
Yue Xianzi looked outside the energy seal in shock. She glanced over and saw Zhanlong Daynight. Her eyes narrowed, and she looked at Lu Yin warily. This person was becoming more and more terrifying.
Han Chong also appeared, and he was stunned when he saw Lu Yin. He then smiled. "Brother Lu, this is the second time we've met on Shenwu Continent, right?"
Lu Yin nodded. "I didn't expect to meet under these circumstances."
Han Chong glanced at Zhanlong Daynight. This person's strength was rarely seen, and he was even stronger than Nightqueen Yanqing. Even Han Chong wasn't confident in being able to defeat him, but he had actually been defeated by Lu Yin. Han Chong sighed and shook his head. "The Daynight clan racked their brains to let the four of us enter the Shenwu Continent in order to avenge Zhanlong Daynight. Unfortunately, they still lost. Brother Lu's strength far exceeds their expectations."
"You're just a Limiteer. In the eyes of the Daynight clan, you're nothing more than an ant." Lu Yin was not arrogant, as he was speaking the truth. There were too many experts in the Daynight clan, and Nightking Zhenwu was always at the top of the younger generation. There were even more powerhouses from the older generation. This clan's foundation was unfathomable.
"What the f * ck are you talking about? Are you done blabbering on? Hurry up and let us out!" a man said unhappily from nearby. He was from the Blazing Mist Flowzone and had good relations with the Blaze Realm. He had always disliked Lu Yin.
The others looked at him strangely. Was there something wrong with his brain?
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "Brother Han, please tell this fellow to shut up."
Han Chong did not even turn around as he casually swatted the man down. That person's power level was comparable to an Area Master at most, and he was knocked unconscious without even being able to retaliate.
"Brother Lu, since you've been waiting here, you must have something to say to everyone," Han Chong asked with a gentle expression.
Lu Yin calmly replied, "First of all, everyone has been sealed. I have a suggestion. Try your best to find a way to help everyone out, but everyone must come to an agreement with me and do one thing for me to the best of your abilities. Of course, this is excluding things that go against your principles."
Han Chong's eyes flashed. "Such as?"
Lu Yin shook his head. "I haven't thought about it yet."
Han Chong fell silent. This was a promise, and he could not casually agree to it.
The others looked at each other, and then An Shaohua spoke up. "Brother Lu, if we're able to leave on our own, would you stop us?"
Everyone stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled. "You're all underestimating me. Please do as you wish."
Yue Xianzi blinked. That's not right. Is this really Lu Yin?
Her impression of Lu Yin was that he was not a gentleman, and he would not waste any time if he could take advantage of others. He had even robbed many people in the past, and he had even taken liberties with Xi Yue. This guy was not that different from a scoundrel. Would he not stop them?
Only a fool would believe that.
"Seventh Bro, are you really not going to stop them?
From the looks of it, that guy has some confidence in getting out, "the monkey said.
Lu Yin did not reply.
On the sixth level, An Shaohua took a deep breath and solemnly retrieved something from his cosmic ring with a solemn expression.
Everyone stared at him, and when they saw what it was, they all had strange expressions.
Lu Yin's brows rose. "Brother An, if I'm not wrong, is that a loudspeaker in your hand?"
An Shaohua snickered and took out another item. It was another loudspeaker, but it was much larger than the previous one. He put the two loudspeakers together and then took out another one.
Just like that, under everyone's strange gazes, An Shaohua sighed. "It's done."
What appeared before everyone's eyes was an enormous loudspeaker made up of dozens of loudspeakers that were pointed upwards.
Doro from Bard Weave was surprised. "Are you going to call for help?"
An Shaohua was speechless. "Of course not. My Watermoon Villa has a battle technique that can be transmitted through sound. I have a brother hiding in Mingdu, and as long as my voice is transmitted, we can use his strength to break the seal. He's an Explorer, so he should be able to break the seal."
Everyone was surprised that such a battle technique existed. Interesting.
Lu Yin was surprised as well. The universe was truly filled with all sorts of strange things, and even such a battle technique existed.
"Brother Han, according to our agreement, if an Explorer appears, you'll be in charge. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" An Shaohua asked Han Chong.
Han Chong's expression was solemn. "As long as the seal is broken and an Explorer appears, I'll be in charge."
"Alright, then I'll begin." An Shaohua took a deep breath, and under everyone's astonished gazes, he shouted into the loudspeaker, "Boom!"
The loud sound was transmitted through the solidified energy. It was not an offensive sound wave, but it was very loud.
Even Lu Yin was startled.
The monkey was even more furious. "That bastard scared me!"
Outside the Tower of Resonating Light, a series of "Boom!" shocked the surrounding troops, and they all looked towards the tower.
At the same time, a thousand meters away from the Tower of Resonating Light, a man was lying on a tree. When he heard the sound, his eyes flashed, and he opened his mouth. "Boom!" It was the same sound, but this time, it came from the man's mouth. An enormous amount of martial power swept through the void and viciously struck the Tower of Resonating Light.
In Mingdu's imperial palace, Ming Hao's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up. He picked up a cup and threw it out. The cup pierced through the void and landed outside the Tower of Resonating Light, smashing towards the man.
The man did not seem to care, and the sound wave that carried his martial power heavily struck the solidified energy seal. There was a loud bang, and the Tower of Resonating Light trembled.
Lu Yin took several steps back and stared in shock at the impact. Everyone stared at the area where the attack had struck, but there were no changes.
An Shaohua's expression changed. "How is this possible?"
"Again," Han Chong growled. "We'll attack at the same time and coordinate from the inside."
"Okay," An Shaohua replied. "Boom!"
Outside the Tower of Resonating Light, the man was struck by the cup and spat out a mouthful of blood. When he heard another "boom" from inside, he gritted his teeth and roared as well. His martial power swept out again, forming a visible storm that smashed towards the Tower of Resonating Light.
Inside the imperial palace, Ming Hao sneered. "You don't know what's good for you." He then took out a chopstick and threw it out.
Boom!
The Explorer cooperated with Han Chong and the rest, and two enormous forces viciously struck the same spot on the energy seal. At this moment, Lu Yin was slightly worried. Han Chong's strength was definitely not weaker than an Explorer's, and with Yue Xianzi and the rest, the group inside the Tower of Resonating Light was comparable to at least two Explorers. Including the one outside, there were three Explorers attacking at the same time, and the seal might not be able to hold them.
Crack!
The seal cracked open.
Lu Yin's brows rose. Sure enough, an attack of this strength could break the seal. However, Ming Hao did not appear and allowed the Explorer outside to attack. It was clear that he had a backup plan.
Suddenly, five strange sculptures rose into the air and floated above the fifth level, right above Lu Yin's head.
The five sculptures connected together, causing the energy seal to suddenly repair itself and become incomparably tough, forming an even more powerful seal.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank, as this scene reminded him of the five sealing planets. Could this seal be the same as the one that had sealed the five sealing planets?
Those five sculptures were sourceboxes, which made Lu Yin think of a terrifying possibility. The five sealing planets couldn't be five incomparably enormous sourceboxes, right?
Impossible, how could there be sourceboxes that big?
Lu Yin did not have much time to think, as the newly repaired seal completely extinguished Han Chong and the rest's hopes. The Explorer outside had his abdomen pierced through by a chopstick, and he fell limp to the ground. He was quickly caught, as he was just an ordinary Explorer and was much weaker than Ming Hao. Ming Hao did not even need to show himself to deal with him.
However, before he could be taken away, Long Yun intervened and took the Explorer away. Ming Hao did not stop him, as the Tower of Resonating Light was his main priority.
When he saw that no one was able to break the seal, Lu Yin relaxed and looked down.
Coincidentally, Yue Xianzi looked up and met Lu Yin's gaze. When she saw Lu Yin's smile, her face sank. Bastard, he's rejoicing in our misfortune.
"Brother Lu, we can talk about your conditions now," Han Chong said to Lu Yin. His tone was gentle, as if he did not care about what had just happened.
An Shaohua's mouth twitched. "Brother Han, why are you talking about conditions with him?
Do you think he can break the seal? "
Han Chong seriously replied, "I believe that he can."
Han Chong's words were very certain, and even Lu Yin was surprised. Before the five sculptures had formed the seal, Lu Yin was confident that he could break it, but now, he was no longer confident. However, Han Chong was even more confident than he was.
"I've already said that I'd like everyone to help me with something. This is my condition," Lu Yin said.
Shi Sandao of the Moke Sword Sect looked up. "No matter what it is?"
"Rumor has it that in the Astral Combat Academy, Brother Lu's relationship with the Daynight clan isn't good. You even beat up Zhanlong Daynight's group. If Brother Lu wants the organizations behind us to deal with the Daynight clan, then we can't do it," Alfonso of Chaos Flowzone's Star Astral Mountain said coldly.
Lu Yin smiled. "Of course, I'm not asking you to deal with the Daynight clan. Let me put it this way: as long as the organizations behind you are able to do it, you have to help me with something. Is that enough? Of course, everyone has to swear an oath."
Everyone fell silent. Although swearing an oath was just a matter of words, it was still a shackle to cultivators, except for those who went back on their word.
