After a pause, the old salamander looked deeply at Emperor Wu, "So what if I become Emperor Sang Tian?
It's not that easy to restart the consciousness universe and the Tian Yuan universe. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until now. Even if I can't become Emperor Sang Tian, once the two universes restart, I'll still be qualified to step in and obtain the opportunity to break through to immortality. Why must I set my sights on the Emperor Sang Tian's position? "
"Border Lord, your guess is too ridiculous."
Emperor Wu couldn't defend himself. In fact, the reason why he didn't start the battle was because Elder Yu wanted him to slow down and force out the mastermind.
He believed it, otherwise, he would have started the battle.
When the old salamander walked out, Elder Yu told Emperor Wu about his guess. Instead of saying that it came from Emperor Wu, it was more accurate to say that it came from Elder Yu. However, the old salamander's words were impeccable.
Not to mention Emperor Wu and Elder Yu, even Lu Yin couldn't explain it.
He and Elder Yu both felt that there was someone behind the scenes doing something, but they couldn't see through it.
According to Elder Yu's idea, they should follow the agreement and let both sides step down. They could slowly find the mastermind.
However, Elder Yu didn't know that Lu Yin suddenly changed his plan and killed Emperor Wu in front of everyone, intensifying the conflict. Indeed, this had forced the old salamander out, but now, the old salamander's words made Elder Yu unconfident.
He was smart, but he wasn't omniscient.
The old salamander was right. Why would he want the Emperor Sang Tian's position?
It was meaningless.
Without a motive, how could he act?
The process and conclusion seemed to be correct, but the only thing missing was the motive. The process and conclusion could be used on the old salamander and others, but they didn't point to the old salamander.
Emperor Wu was willing to say those words and believe Elder Yu because the old salamander's temperament was too different. He understood the old salamander. It would be normal for anyone to stand out, but the old salamander was abnormal.
However, he couldn't refute the old salamander's words. He couldn't be sure of everything.
Clap clap clap clap clap
Above Wu Jiang, Lu Yin clapped and praised, "Well said, no one can refute your words. Sometimes, age is the greatest weapon."
"My lifespan is approaching, so I don't care about the Emperor Sang Tian's position."
The old salamander looked at Lu Yin, "Does Lu Sang Tian think that I'm wrong?"
Lu Yin said, "Yes, how is it wrong?
You're absolutely right, there's no way to refute it. "
"But."
He looked deeply at the old salamander and said, "Why did you do this? What does it have to do with me? Do you need to explain your motives and whether you care about Sang Tian's position?"
"You did it. Only you know the reason. What I want to do is to find you. That's all."
The old salamander laughed heartily. "Lu Sangtian truly is the Lord of the Tian Yuan Universe. Only you can say such overbearing words."
"There's no reason at all, yet you insist on pushing this matter onto this old man. Could it be that you think this old man has nothing better to do and decided to play around?
Or do you think my Ten-thousand Beasts Border has no one?
Can I be humiliated by you without restraint? "
Lu Yin slowly raised a hand and tapped the void, causing ripples to spread out across the entire Myriad Beasts Border.
Emperor Wuhuang looked at Lu Yin and touched the ripples. It wasn't an offensive power, so he allowed the ripples to continue.
He didn't want to be used, be it by Mie Wuhuang or the old salamander. Plus, he had yet to successfully cultivate his power, which was why he had resisted the urge to attack. However, that didn't mean that he would allow Lu Yin to attack the Myriad Beasts Border as he pleased.
If Lu Yin made a move against the Myriad Beasts Border, he would have to take action as well.
The ripples continued to spread.
They swept past Winged Butterfly, Nine-Tailed Fox, the old salamander, and the other cultivators.
The old salamander was uneasy and looked at Emperor Wuhuang. "Border Lord, do you want to fight?"
Emperor Wuhuang was silent.
Lu Yin's voice fell. "First."
In the Myriad Beasts Border, far away from the old salamander, there was a small, skinny man hiding in a corner of a mountain. When the ripples spread out, his body shone brightly, trapping him in place.
He was confused, terrified, and uneasy.
The old salamander looked over and narrowed his eyes. He suddenly raised his walking stick and slammed it into the man shimmering with light.
The walking stick was restrained by the light and couldn't move an inch.
Lu Yin shouted, "Don't worry, old man. This is the first one to help you spread rumors about Beyond Heaven. There are more than ten in the Myriad Beasts Border. Look, I've found the second one."
As soon as he finished speaking, a seductive woman shone brightly.
The old salamander's expression changed, and his walking stick couldn't move an inch. He looked at Lu Yin. "Are you trying to frame me?"
Lu Yin didn't care. "The third one."
Winged Butterfly, Nine-Tailed Fox, and the others looked at the old salamander strangely. The old salamander's attack was too decisive and heavy. It was more like he wanted to silence them.
If Lu Sang Tian wasn't confident, he wouldn't have pointed them out one by one.
At this moment, the old salamander felt like he had seen a ghost. How could this person find them?
These people who spread the rumors were his trusted aides, and they were all weak. They didn't know each other and only listened to him. How could they be found?
Even Heaven's Hand couldn't find them, let alone Lu Sang Tian.
How did this person find them?
The path of karma was more profound the more one cultivated.
When Star Toad, Desolate God, and the others were fighting Emperor Wuhuang, Lu Yin used the karma spiral to penetrate the bodies of the cultivators in the Myriad Beasts Border.
This was one of the reasons why he agreed to Elder Yu's conditions.
The Myriad Beasts Border was huge and there were many cultivators. No matter how fast the karma spiral was, it couldn't penetrate every cultivator in a short time. It needed time. This was why Star Toad and Desolate God fought Emperor Wuhuang.
Elder Yu wanted to slowly find out who was behind this, but Lu Yin couldn't agree. He had to find out who was plotting against him as soon as possible.
Before this, Eight Willows and Yi Yao had been killed and had tricked him once. They had lured him to Buyi City in the Grand Entirety Region and forced him out of Zhikong Domain. Although the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce, the Gate of Arts, and the Four Horse Chamber of Commerce hadn't suffered any losses, what Lu Yin wanted to do had been fruitless. Now that the mastermind had acted again, he had to find out who it was.
Yue Shu hadn't fled to Hundred Grass Domain on his own; he had been forced there.
The old salamander had forced Yue Shu to Hundred Grass Domain, which had led to Limitless killing Yue Cheng. Lu Yin had no choice but to find trouble with Emperor Wuhuang and force him to fight while he reaped the benefits.
It would be ridiculous if he let the old man succeed. After all, Lu Yin had mastered the path of karma, which was different from others.
If it weren't for the path of karma, he wouldn't have been able to do anything to the old salamander.
This old man's scheming was definitely not inferior to Elder Yu's.
It was only now that Lu Yin realized that Eight Willows and Yi Yao's deaths hadn't been collateral damage, but rather something the old salamander had done on purpose. The old salamander had wanted to force Emperor Wuhuang to fight Lu Yin after he returned and help him succeed.
Being lured to the Grand Entirety Region was just a side detail of the old salamander's plan, and it didn't affect the old salamander's overall plan. Even so, this side detail had been enough to trick Lu Yin.
Moreover, Lu Yin was also very curious as to why the old salamander had obtained Sang Tian's position. He had some guesses, but he needed the old salamander to confirm them.
"Nine. These are the ones who spread the rumors. The next one is the one who's been keeping an eye on Limitless." With that, a ripple surrounded a cultivator that flickered with light.
In the surroundings, the cultivators from the Myriad Beasts Border stared blankly at the woman who had been circled.
This woman was Wu Ji's most beloved maid.
The old salamander's eyes narrowed once more. He knew everything and had investigated everything. Impossible, how could he have done such a thing?
Lu Yin's lips curled up as he looked down from above. "This woman knows everything about Limitless' cooperation with Yue Cheng, and she's one of your people. Yue Cheng fled to the Hundred Herb Territory because you sent people to force him into a corner. He had no choice but to rely on the Dayu Villa. Unfortunately, he didn't join the Dayu Villa, which is why you killed Eight Willows and Yi Yao. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to drag me into this."
"Hiding your aura, hiding from Limitless, and killing people with brute force. Old man, I'm not wrong, right? You're the one who did it."
The old salamander stared at Lu Yin. "You want to frame me just by circling a few people?"
Lu Yin was about to speak when a rumble came from afar, causing the mountains to sway.
Everyone looked over. "That's Mountain Lord Man Kui's territory. Why is it shaking?"
"Could it be that Mountain Lord Man Kui is still alive?"
"That can't be."
Boom!
There was a loud rumble as the mountains rumbled. Shockwaves surged into the sky, shattering the void. Then, an angry roar resounded throughout the Myriad Beasts Border. "Who dares disturb my slumber?"
Sharp claws pierced through the sky, connecting heaven and earth.
What appeared before everyone's eyes was a giant monster that crawled out of the mountain range. Turbulent shockwaves swept through the Myriad Beasts Border, and terrifying power continued to pile up, causing the stars to sway.
Nine-Tailed Fox was shocked. "Senior Man Kui is still alive?
How unexpected. "
Winged Butterfly sighed. "That's great."
Of the seven Mountain Lords of the Myriad Beasts Border, two had crossed Ku Ai. One was the old salamander, and the other was Man Kui.
The old salamander was the longest-living existence in the spiritualized universe, and he had even surpassed Yu Sang Tian. Although Man Kui had not lived as long as the old salamander, he was about the same age as Emperor Wu. He had even fought with Emperor Wu for the position of Border Lord of the Myriad Beasts Border.
A long, long time ago, Man Kui had gone into seclusion and had not come out since.
There were rumors in the outside world that he had died, and the Zhan family of the Door of Techniques had sent people to investigate. If Man Kui was nearing the end of his lifespan, they wanted to bring him to the Door of Techniques, but Emperor Wu had stopped them.
The cultivators of the Myriad Beasts Border did not have to go to the Door of Techniques when their lifespan was nearing its end. This was not a rule, but a confidence.
But now, no one had expected that Man Kui was still alive, and he had crawled out with terrifying power. His aura was just as imposing as it had been in the past.
Lu Yin narrowed his eyes. What he feared the most about the spiritualized universe was Yu Sang Tian's unfathomable strength, and he could not see through his foundation.
After all, the spiritualized universe had been developing for a longer period of time than the Tian Yuan Universe. In addition, there was the Supreme Extreme, which was a unified cultivation method that had created an unprecedented era. There was also the beast-shaped spiritual molting, which was a cultivation method that was completely different from normal people's. As a result, no one knew how many undying old fellows existed in the spiritualized universe.
One was the Door of Techniques, and the other was the Myriad Beasts Border. They represented the spiritualized universe's foundation.
Lu Yin was not surprised by Man Kui's appearance, but his sudden appearance had disrupted his plans.
Man Kui crawled out of the mountain range and appeared in front of everyone. His gray body was covered in scars, and he was even crazier than Emperor Wu in battle.
