Mister Wei looked into Lu Yin's eyes. "Your eyes tell me that you didn't see it clearly." He then took out another paper cut, this time of a woman.
"Guess who she is?"
Lu Yin raised a hand to stop him. "Alright, there's no need to cut it. I recognized her."
Mister Wei frowned. "Your eyes don't look like it."
Lu Yin sneered. "You just have to cut another one, don't you? You said that we weren't enemies before, but now that you've cut it, we're enemies."
Mister Wei looked at Lu Yin and slowly put down the scissors. "I hope you're telling the truth."
"Hope?"
Lu Yin raised a brow and touched the corner of his mouth again. There was still blood. "Didn't you build the bridge and see the future?
How can there be hope? "
"You should have seen what I would do and what choices I would make."
Mister Wei's eyes flashed, but he did not speak.
Lu Yin looked at the scissors in Mister Wei's hand. "If you had cut it just now, I would have been convinced. I couldn't think of a way to deal with you, but you didn't."
At this point, he raised a finger and smiled. "This represents a possibility. The bridge you built has come to an end."
Mister Wei suddenly took out a paper cut and cut it.
At the same time, Lu Yin took a step forward, parallel to time, and waved his hand. His fingers curled as if he was holding something, but he wasn't holding anything. He took a step forward, and blood splattered in front of Mister Wei. Mister Wei's body flew backward, and a terrifying pressure shook Memory Sage Academy, causing the sky to darken.
Lu Yin slowly turned around, and a sword appeared in his hand at some point — the Progenitor's Sword.
As long as the power of time was involved, there were endless possibilities.
Lu Yin tried one possibility. In the future, he would use Mu Zhu and the others to trace back to the past and find the time when he had stepped in reverse and appeared in parallel to the river of time. At that time, the Progenitor's Sword would be sent over to help him.
Something that should have happened in the future had become reality at this moment.
This was not changing the future. It was just like when he had crossed the river of time to change himself and appear in the bone vessel to hunt down the Eternals. It was a reversal of the river of time, but it was just a reversal.
This possibility of success allowed Lu Yin to injure Mr. Wei.
First, Lu Yin had to be able to withdraw safely from this battle. Only then would he have a future. Second, Mr. Wei's ability to see the future had yet to reach that level. Third, he could rely on Mu Zhu and the woodcarving to trace the past.
Lu Yin's conversation with Mister Unfinished confirmed the second point. The bridge that Mister Unfinished had only lasted until the moment when she had avoided Lu Yin's attack. Otherwise, she would not have said so much to Lu Yin and even used the word 'hope' in the end. This was because she did not know what Lu Yin would choose.
As for whether or not he would be able to escape safely, that was his confidence. Of course, that was only in front of Mr. Wei.
If he ran into an enemy who wanted to use the future to reverse the river of time to make up for the difference in power level, Lu Yin might not dare to do so, as that would mean that he was already at the end of his rope. If he couldn't use the future to reverse the river of time to change the current battle, then he would have to bear unimaginable consequences.
Mr. Wei clearly did not let Lu Yin experience the feeling of not being able to bear the consequences.
Senior Mu Zhu and the others were also a limiting factor. If they encountered a strong enemy, they might not be able to gather enough people to cast Tracing the Past for him.
This method seemed to have infinite possibilities.

However, it had to be prepared in advance, and it could not be used in a hurry.
Changing the future was extremely difficult.
Another point that Lu Yin had confirmed was that Mister Unfinished's time could not avoid the Progenitor's Sword.
The Progenitor's Sword's greatest ability was to suppress the universe and stabilize time. This was why Lu Yin had spared no effort to repair it in order to neutralize the damage that the time poison had done to the Fifth Mainland.
Mister Unfinished walked on time and was unfathomable, but only the Progenitor's Sword could harm her.
Although the entire process had only taken an instant, and Lu Yin had only attacked once, that had been his guess of time. Countless possibilities had appeared, and it had been a showdown between their usage of time. It had also been a battle of words.
Mister Unfinished looked at the bloodstains on her body, and the paper cut fell from her hand as she looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's sword spun as he slashed out again. "I'll let you see the truth. I am the master of this universe."
Mister Unfinished hurriedly retreated, her body flowing with a grey color that made her seem illusory. Strangely, she had clearly retreated, but a figure emerged from her body and faced Lu Yin, striking out with a palm.
This was Bai Xianer's innate gift, and the one who had walked out of Mister Unfinished's body was Bai Xianer.
He released the starry sky in his heart, and the stars circulated, instantly breaking Bai Xianer's innate gift. He stabbed out with his sword, and Bai Xianer's figure condensed as she looked at Lu Yin. "Brother Xiaoxuan, are you going to kill me?"
Lu Yin's eyes widened. "The previous Lu Xiaoxuan would not, but I am Lu Yin."
The Celestial Radish Flower floated into the starry sky, and Lu Yin stabbed his sword into Bai Xianer's body. The blade was stained with blood as he looked up and stared into her eyes.
Bai Xianer's face was pale, but she smiled sadly at Lu Yin's determined gaze. "Brother Xiaoxuan, I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt you."
Lu Yin stared at Bai Xianer as memories flashed through his mind. They were in the Food Paradise, and in a simple wooden house, young boys and girls were happily tasting delicacies. Outside the door, a rainbow deer emitted a gentle glow as it looked at them from time to time, its eyes filled with dependence.
Images of his time with Bai Xianer flashed through Lu Yin's mind, and his heart ached.
Lu Xiaoxuan truly loved Bai Xianer, but just as Lu Yin had said, he wasn't Lu Xiaoxuan. His heart only had Ming Yan, an ordinary woman who was waiting for him.
In the starry sky, countless people looked at the falling Celestial Radish Flower and recalled the day when the Lu family was exiled. It was the same beautiful red flower rain.
Under the red flower rain, Bai Xianer's face was pale, and blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She raised her hand and touched Lu Yin's face. "Xian 'er loves Brother Xiaoxuan, but Xian' er has no choice."
"I'm sorry for exiling the Lu family."
"I'm sorry for killing the seven heroes."
"I'm sorry for imprisoning you in the Red Garden."
"I'm sorry, Brother Xiaoxuan. I'm sorry."
Lu Yin didn't love Bai Xianer, but at this moment, it was as if Lu Xiaoxuan had been reborn. He let go of the sword hilt and hugged Bai Xianer.
"Are you Bai Xianer or a maiden?"
Bai Xianer touched Lu Yin's face, her eyes filled with infatuation. "Bai Xianer has always been a maiden. Ever since I was born, this has never changed."
Bai Xianer smiled, but her face grew even paler. "Ever since the Lu family was exiled, the happiest moments were the battle with Brother Xiaoxuan in the Disaster Region and the dance with Brother Xiaoxuan in the Red Garden. Xian 'er is satisfied. Brother Xiaoxuan, Xian' er's sins will never be repaid, but Xian 'er has never thought of killing Brother Xiaoxuan.
(This chapter is not finished. Please turn the page.)
Brother Xiaoxuan, I'm sorry. "
Lu Yin didn't know what to feel. Bai Xianer was the Lu family's enemy. If it weren't for her, the Lu family wouldn't have been exiled even if the Grand Empyrean sealed Forefather Lu Yuan. It was the maiden who had walked out of her body and restrained Forefather Tianyi. She was the one who had allowed the Lu family to bring the food paradise to Lu Tianjing. The deaths of the seven heroes, the Lu family's surviving officials imprisoned in the Red Garden, and the deaths of the Lu family's vassal families in the New Continent were all because of her.
He had been attacked by Bai Xianer when he was breaking through in the Fifth Mainland.
Ever since Lu Yin had started cultivating again, he had dreamed of Bai Xianer's finger descending. That boundless fury had burned within him, and he had wanted to kill Bai Xianer even in his dreams to completely end the grudge of the Lu family's exile.
Now that he had killed Bai Xianer, he wasn't happy.
Was it because of Lu Xiaoxuan?
He was already Lu Yin, and it was impossible for him to love Bai Xianer. But where did this pain come from?
It was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
Bai Xianer stared at Lu Yin's face in a daze, and her eyes gradually dimmed. Her hand drooped down weakly, and her blood stained the ground.
Lu Yin watched as Bai Xianer died. Speechless pain engulfed him, but his mind was clear. He shouldn't have to endure this kind of pain.
"Xianer," Lu Yin said in a hoarse voice.
This was Lu Xiaoxuan's voice.
Lu Xiaoxuan's emotions died at the same time as Bai Xianer.
"I didn't expect you to really kill her." Mr. Wei stood in the distance and watched calmly.
Lu Yin looked up, and there was a cold glint in his eyes.
"Bai Xianer was the one who harmed the Lu Family. She was also the one you ordered the Six Direction Society to capture. Now that Bai Xianer is dead, our grudge should be resolved," Mr. Wei said calmly.
Lu Yin stared at him. "Can it really be resolved?"
Mr. Wei smiled. "I've already given Bai Xianer to you to kill. What else do you want?
Dao Master Lu, we're not enemies. Even if you haven't figured out how to deal with me, I've already told you that we're not enemies. Don't force me to the Eternity. "
"You can go wherever you want. Whether it's the Eternity or you, as long as you're in this universe," Lu Yin said coldly. "You have to listen to me."
Mr. Wei laughed. "You're too domineering. I've already paid enough to resolve our grudge. Why do you have to fight to the death?"
"Bai Xianer said that she had no choice."
Lu Yin gripped his sword tightly. "You were the one who entangled Patriarch Tianyi and caused the Lu Family to be exiled. I don't know which one of you killed the Seven Heroes. Even if you were all brought here by Bai Xianer, you are the murderers."
After he finished speaking, he stepped forward and slashed at Mr. Wei.
Mr. Wei sighed. "If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have allowed you to grow."
Another figure walked out in front of him. It was a woman, and she held a large book in her hands that was surrounded by grains of sand. She raised her right arm, revealing a pearl necklace around her wrist. Her fingers formed a sword, and she struck out seven times in front of Lu Yin.
This figure's sword was far inferior to the Progenitor's Sword, and Lu Yin was confident that he could easily break it.
However, the sword wasn't aimed at him. Instead, it was aimed at the ethereal River of Time. It was aimed at the past.
Lu Yin's expression changed. A small boat of light appeared and instantly disappeared.
The River of Time surged forward. Lu Yin stood on the small boat and stared at the seven swords that had entered the River of Time. He moved at the same time and deflected all of the swords.
When he looked back, Mr. Wei had already left.
