After the Lu family's return, Lu Yuan and Lu Tianyi had both said that they would give Lu Yin life-saving treasures. He had been waiting, but there was no such thing as too many life-saving treasures. Woodcut was definitely powerful, and his eighty-one slashes were his trump cards. Even against Sovereign Shaoyin and Curmudgeon Mo, they were still extremely powerful. It was better than nothing.
"I'm going to slash," Woodcut said.
Lu Yin's eyelids twitched, and he felt like he was just waiting for death.
"Right, you can block it." Woodcut's figure disappeared, leaving behind only the flash of a blade that whizzed towards Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, and he used his infinite inner world. Lines continuously fused into his body, and a blackish-purple substance spread out. In his heart, above the starry sky, the withered tree swayed, imprisoning its power.
The first flash was about to descend.
When he had first endured the eighty-one slashes in the Lost Clan, he had been unable to resist at all. His body had been unable to move, and he had been unable to do anything. He had only been able to watch the 81 slashes finish.
Now, Lu Yin wanted to try resisting.
The flash of the blade continued to approach.
Lu Yin imprisoned a hundred strands of his power, and at the same time, he used his infinite inner world to increase his strength. He released it in an instant and used all his strength to dodge.
Move it.
There was a thump as the tree trunk broke, and Lu Yin's body swayed as he narrowly avoided the first slash.
But then, the flashes of the blade continued to descend.
Lu Yin panted heavily. He could use the same method to dodge the second, third, and even the eighty-first slash.
But was there any point?
The eighty-one slashes were not Woodcut's killing technique; he had only given Lu Yin eighty-one slashes. Even so, Lu Yin had to use all his strength to dodge them, so what was the point of dodging all of them?
If he really wanted to fight Woodcut, his blade would contain Sequence Particles, and Lu Yin would have to retrieve the Wordless Heaven Book. He would have to rely on Flowing Light to reverse time, and he would have to use everything he could. Even then, he would only be able to protect himself for a short period of time. It would be impossible for him to win, and it would be difficult for him to escape.
This was Woodcut's strength.
Back at the tea party, Lu Yin had to use everything he had to contend with Sovereign Shaoyin, and Sovereign Shaoyin's strength was not as fierce as Woodcut's.
The current Lu Yin still did not have the confidence to defeat such a powerhouse.
However, he was only a Half Martial Ancestor. It was already not easy for a Half Martial Ancestor to fight a Martial Ancestor. Senior Brother Qing Ping was one such example. Furthermore, Sequence Law Realm experts were not on the same level as ordinary Martial Ancestors.
When he broke through to the Ancestral God realm one day, he would have four Ancestral Worlds and four Ancestral Worlds. Adding the starry sky in his heart, he didn't dare to imagine how powerful he would be then.
Saber lights fell one after another. They slashed horizontally, vertically, diagonally, and so on. There were a total of eighty saber lights, and all of them landed on his body.
After eighty slashes, a small knife appeared where he had been standing.
Lu Yin coughed as beads of sweat dripped down his face. He panted heavily as he grabbed the dagger and hung it around his neck. He had died eighty times for this dagger.
Woodcarving walked out, and even though he couldn't see his gaze, Lu Yin could sense his surprise.
"You might be able to avoid all eighty one blades." The wooden carving spoke with a sigh of admiration.
Lu Yin felt bitter and wiped away his sweat. "There's no point."
The wooden carving held the long blade. "Half Martial Ancestor. You're just a Half Martial Ancestor. Master's evaluation of you was not exaggerated in the slightest. Junior Martial Brother, you will be the only one who has hope of surpassing Master."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Senior Martial Brother has no confidence in surpassing Master?
You don't even know Master's strength. Maybe he's not much stronger than you. "
The wooden carving sat down again and placed the long blade on his lap. "Master's cultivation is as vast as the abyss. You'll understand when you reach the Ancestral Realm."
"When you look at the starry sky, the starry sky is also looking at you. The starry sky can see through you, but you can't see through the starry sky."
The wooden carving fell silent for a moment. "Junior Martial Brother, your strength as a Half Martial Ancestor is unparalleled since ancient times. However, you must remember not to be careless. This starry sky is too deep."
Lu Yin nodded. "I understand. Senior Martial Brother, don't worry."
He stayed in the Wood Spacetime for a few days before leaving. He went to the Void God Spacetime and chatted with Xu Wuwei, Xu Leng, Xu Heng, and the others. He then went to the Red Domain and found Xu Wuji. Xu Wuji sighed with emotion as Lu Yin went to the Lost Clan and personally thanked them for their help.
The Lost Clan had helped him too much. When he went to Jiutian Shidi for the first time, it was Grand Elder Shan Gu who helped him lure Reverend Shaoyin away. Later, during the tea party, Grand Elder Shan Gu helped him several times. The Lost Clan even sent two Ancestral Realms to assist the Above Heaven Sect. If not for the Eternals invading too fiercely, the two Ancestral Realms would have been enough to help the Above Heaven Sect.
Originally, Lu Yin did not need to go to the Lost Clan since Ancestor Lu Yuan had already been there. However, after thinking about it, it was better to go.
When Lu Yin arrived at the Lost Clan, Dan Pu personally came out to welcome him.
"Welcome to the Lost Clan again, Dao Master Lu." Dan Pu laughed.
Lu Yin smiled. "Sorry to disturb you. Senior Dan Pu, you look so happy. Did something good happen?"
"Since Dao Master Lu can tease me, it seems that you're in a good mood. Have you dealt with the troublesome matters?"
"There are too many troublesome matters. I'll deal with them one by one."
"Haha, that's true. Please, the Great Elder is waiting for you."
"Please.
…
Lu Yin did not ask how many single generation Ancestral Realms there were in the Lost Clan. He only knew five, including the newly promoted Dan Fangyi.
He did not expect Dan Fangyi to break through to the Ancestral Realm.
Grand Elder Shan Gu welcomed Lu Yin's arrival. Regardless of the reason, the Lost Clan and the Lu Clan had a very good relationship.
Lu Yin faced Grand Elder Dan Gu and bowed deeply, "This time, I, as a junior, would like to thank Grand Elder Dan Gu for your help. Many thanks to the Lost Clan for your help. Junior Lu Yin is eternally grateful."
Grand Elder Shan Gu smiled and helped Lu Yin up. "There's no need for this. We have already agreed that the Lost Clan will help you. In the future, when you have the ability, you will also help the Lost Clan."
Lu Yin nodded. "The ancient card. When junior breaks through to the Ancestral Realm, I will definitely help the Lost Clan to try to receive you."
Grand Elder Shan Gu smiled. "There's no hurry. We have waited for so many years."
"Some time ago, your Lu Clan's Ancestor, Lu Yuan, came to my Lost Clan and had a good chat. Regarding your Lu Clan being exiled, my Lost Clan did not help at all."
Lu Yin quickly explained, "That was Reverend Shaoyin's conspiracy. Grand Empyrean acted arbitrarily and had nothing to do with the Lost Clan or the Six Paths Guild."
Grand Elder Shan Gu sighed. "The Six Paths Guild owes Dao Master Lu an explanation for the matter of Reverend Shaoyin being a spy. If it wasn't for you, no one would have been able to expose Reverend Shaoyin. Now that I think about it, Reverend Shaoyin had instigated the Six Paths Guild's relationship several times. The war between my Lost Clan and the Reincarnation Spacetime, the friction between the Void God Spacetime and the Reincarnation Spacetime, they were all caused by him.
How despicable. "Lu Yin chatted with Grand Elder Shan Gu for a long time. He bowed as a junior and spoke as an equal as a Dao Master. He was already very familiar with the change of identity.
"What does your Lu Clan plan to do about Madman Lu?" Grand Elder Shan Gu suddenly asked.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold. "We will think of a way to deal with the traitor of the Lu Clan. That crazy woman, Grand Empyrean, wants to protect Madman Lu because of her own selfishness? Impossible."
Grand Elder Shan Gu's expression turned solemn. "Don't underestimate Grand Empyrean."
Lu Yin nodded. "Of course not. After all, she is from the same generation as the Progenitor. Even Ancestor Lu Yuan is younger than her."
Grand Elder Shan Gu retracted his gaze and sighed. "If possible, I hope that you can coexist peacefully with Grand Empyrean. Although she has a selfish side, she also has a selfless side."
"You also participated in the tea party. Grand Empyrean is extremely respectful to the heroes who died fighting for humanity. Those who can participate in the tea party are not necessarily extremely strong. There are also those who have made contributions."
Lu Yin pondered. Grand Empyrean's attitude during the tea party had not been an act. She really cared about those who had sacrificed themselves and was fighting for humanity against the Everlasting Race. She had a side that was respected by everyone.
If not for this, the six parties would not have been able to unite.
Moreover, after the Lu family had been exiled, Grand Empyrean had strictly forbidden anyone from the six parties to enter the Primordial Space. Although she hated the Primordial Space, she had not done anything to it. If not for Divine Sovereign Shaoyin's instigation, many things would not have happened.
Lu Yin felt a headache coming on. What was that crazy woman thinking?
Grand Elder Shan Gu looked at Lu Yin's troubled expression and laughed. "Dao Master Lu, you don't need to think about it. Just leave the matter of Grand Empyrean to Ancestor Lu Yuan."
Lu Yin smiled. That was right. How to deal with Grand Empyrean was not something he could consider. Only Ancestor Lu Yuan could.
Although he was the master of the Primordial Space, the Grand Empyrean and the others did not acknowledge him. Instead, they acknowledged Ancestor Lu Yuan.
Lu Yin would leave Grand Empyrean to Ancestor Lu Yuan, and he would have to think of a way to deal with Madman Lu.
After leaving the Lost Clan, Lu Yin directly returned to the Above Heaven Sect. Wei Rong was waiting for him in the main hall.
"Greetings, Dao Master." Wei Rong bowed deeply when he saw Lu Yin.
As one of Lu Yin's strategists, Wei Rong's attitude was much better than Wang Wen's.
Lu Yin nodded and had Wei Rong take a seat. "You've worked hard on the Four Way Scales. I haven't had the time to explain everything to you."
Wei Rong smiled. "It was nothing. The Four Way Scales can't compare to my Above Heaven Sect, and they can't compare to Dao Master at all. I merely hastened their downfall."
Lu Yin looked at him. "Back then, you said that you wanted to give me a surprise. What kind of surprise?"
Wei Rong smiled bitterly. "The Wang Family's Yellow Spring Water was the surprise that I wanted to give to Dao Master. However, before I could carry it out, Dao Master led the Lu Family back, and everything that belonged to the Wang Family became my Above Heaven Sect's. There was no need for me to act."
"How did you know about the Wang Family's Yellow Spring Water?" Lu Yin was curious. He had only found out about it after infiltrating the Frigid Immortal Sect, which was a huge risk.
Wei Rong explained, and Lu Yin understood. He then looked at Wei Rong with a strange gaze.
This was a honey trap!
The woman from the Wang Family's branch was called Wang Man, and she had taken a liking to Wei Rong, who had just gone to the Starry Sky of the Trees. After Wei Rong found out about her identity, the two hit it off. The woman had gotten drunk and unintentionally revealed some of the Wang Family's secrets, especially the Yellow Spring Water.
"Wang Man didn't know that it was called the Yellow Spring Water. She only said that it was a liquid that was produced in the Wang Family's mainland and that it was a top secret of the Wang Family. I only found out about the Yellow Spring Water after I married into the Wang Family's branch," Wei Rong explained.
Lu Yin nodded. "So you wanted to give me the Yellow Spring Water as a surprise?"
Wei Rong smiled. "With Dao Master's abilities, how could you not know about the Yellow Spring Water? I wanted to bring all of the Yellow Spring Water produced by the Wang Family as a surprise for Dao Master."
