Lu Yin did not intend to intervene. The Nine Foot Garden was his enemy, and he would not go so far as to save an enemy.
As for whether an enemy's enemy was a friend, that would depend on whether Lu Yin had the initiative. The two from Nine Foot Garden only wanted to escape, and just like the Old Chief and the others, saving them would be meaningless.
Lu Yin had no intention of learning more about the Nine Firmaments Universe through them.
Very quickly, Vast Mist's Nine Feet Heaven Defying Technique could not hold on any longer, and was forcibly shattered by Chao Yi's Double Ghost Door Slam.
The Misty Red Beaver's Beaver Seal was suppressed by the Sikong Mirror. How could the Misty Red Beaver be a match for Yue Ya?
Vast Misty Waves was bathed in blood as he roared, "I hate it! Yue Ya, I hate it! Why did I help you? My Nine Foot Garden did everything I could to help you! I hate it!"
Chao Yi raised his hand, and the death mound extended. His gaze was cold. "All actions are based on self-interest. Back then, you destroyed me in the Nine Feet Garden because you were worried about this day. However, this day will eventually come."
Bang
There was a loud bang.
Vast Expanse of Mist's body shattered. Before he died, his eyes were fixed on Yue Ya.
He did not hate Chaoyi. The hatred between them was too deep. Chaoyi's actions were normal. He hated Yue Ya. It was Yue Ya who betrayed them.
The Smoky Red Raccoon was sorrowful, and tears of blood flowed down its cheeks.
His long red hair was burning, and his aura was weakening.
"You're the only one left in the Nine Feet Garden," Chao Yi said coldly.
The Smoky Red Raccoon looked at Chaoyi. "Are you happy now that you've gotten your revenge?"
Chao Yi's gaze was as calm as water: "You won't have the chance."
The Smoky Red Raccoon smiled bitterly. "Yes, some people can take revenge, but some people are destined to never have the chance."
Bang
Another loud sound rang out as the Misty Wave Red Raccoon fell. It streaked across the starry sky with red radiance until it disappeared.
Chao Yi looked down. "You and I are nothing but dust in the world of cultivation. Death is not necessarily a new life. Who can understand this universe?"
Yue Ya did not care about the deaths of Vast Mist and the others. He only cared about Chaoyi. "Thirteen Heavenly Phenomenon escaped and Nine Feet Garden died because of you. You should fulfill your promise."
Chao Yi looked at Yue Ya. "I don't understand. If I were Nine Feet Garden or Thirteen Celestial Phenomenon, would you be more confident in dealing with Lu Yin?"
Yue Ya frowned. "I didn't think that the 13 Celestial Phenomenon cultivators would escape. I only wanted to use you to replace Nine Foot Garden, but Lu Yin and the others have already seen through Nine Foot Garden's power, so it's useless."
"Looks like you've lost out." Chao Yi said indifferently.
Yue Ya narrowed his eyes. "As long as the plan is well laid out, there will always be a chance to succeed."
"You're not planning to break the contract, are you?"
"I'm not that despicable." Chao Yi said.
Yue Ya breathed a sigh of relief. "I know where Wu Jiang is. Let's go."
With that, the two of them flew off into the distance.
They did not know that Lu Yin had been staring at them the entire time. His consciousness had spread throughout the entire consciousness universe, causing them to overlook him.
The destruction of the Nine Feet Garden allowed Lu Yin to see the cruelest side of the cultivation world, and this side was being played out every day.
The Smoky Red Raccoon was right. Some people could take revenge, while others were destined to never be able to.
Who was in control of all this?
The Smoky Red Raccoon. This woman is very pitiful. She didn't attack me willingly, but this is the world of cultivation.
Who did Yan 'er offend?
He was also affected.
Only after confirming that the Tian Yuan Universe was safe would he awaken Ming Yan.
He didn't want Ming Yan to end up like the Misty Wave Red Raccoon.
Yue Ya and Chao Yi had already arrived, and Lu Yin reminded the group of experts from Limitless.
Now, he was not afraid of Yue Ya.
Chao Yi
Some time later, Yue Ya and Chao Yi arrived. Chao Yi looked at the enormous Limitless pulling four battleships with anticipation. What kind of person was this Lu Yin?
Yue Ya and the Nine Feet Garden had not been able to take him down at their peak.
If Chao Yi had been the one to face that joint attack, he would have died without a doubt.
Yue Ya released his consciousness, and the Sikong Mirror covered the entire sky. He did not plan on directly dealing with Lu Yin, as it was too difficult. He wanted to use the lives of everyone on Limitless as a threat to give him an opportunity to deal with Lu Yin.
Lu Yin would be threatened by the Tian Yuan Universe, so his chances of success were high.
Yue Ya had no other choice, as there was no power in the consciousness universe that could help him. This was his last chance.
Just as Yue Ya was about to act, a voice traveled out from Limitless. "Are you Chao Yi, the master of Death's Hill's Sixth Peak?"
Luo Ning appeared on Limitless' deck, along with Lian Shuang and the group of cultivators from the Ninefall Universe that Lu Yin had captured.
At the same time, a vast consciousness covered the sky like a second canopy that blocked the Sikong Mirror.
Yue Ya's expression changed; Lu Yin's consciousness had strengthened again. How could it be so fast?
Was there no limit to how much consciousness this person could absorb?
Chao Yi glanced at Limitless' deck and saw Luo Ning and the rest. "I remember you. You're Luo Ning, the genius of the Luo family who hibernated in the Shao Yu Pavilion."
Luo Ning looked at Chao Yi. "Why are people from Death's Hill in the consciousness universe?
And why are you attacking cultivators from the three universes? "
"There's no need to explain," Chao Yi said coldly.
Lian Shuang solemnly said, "From what I know, Death's Hill is only responsible for dealing with people who break the rules, and it has nothing to do with the three universes. If Peak Master Chao Yi attacks the three universes on his own accord, that in itself is a violation of the rules."
Chao Yi did not reply.
Yue Ya's tone was gloomy. "You were captured by Lu Yin, but we will rescue you. This is also Death's Hill's responsibility, so there's no need to waste words. I know that you were forced by Lu Yin, but I am the God of Defense. Can't I save you?"
Luo Ning, Lian Shuang, and the rest were helpless. They trusted the God of Defense's power, but they were now in Limitless, and the danger was even greater. They were afraid that Yue Ya would not be able to save them, and instead cause them to be killed.
For the sake of his future, Luo Ning was willing to be captured and take a gamble. He had invested his courage, but he did not want to fall short. He would rather play it safe.
However, Yue Ya did not give him a chance to speak. "Chao Yi, don't worry about them. They are all under Lu Yin's control."
Chao Yi did not care about what Luo Ning and the rest were saying. He had saved them because Yue Ya had given him a way out. The Nine Foot Garden had already been destroyed, and his mission was complete. He did not care if he had succeeded or not.
At this time, Lu Yin walked out and looked at the sky. "There are still people from Death's Hill here. You don't even care about his life?" As he spoke, he dragged a man out.
Chao Yi looked at Lu Yin. "You are Lu Yin, the ruler of the Tianyuan Universe."
Lu Yin met Chao Yi's gaze. "As someone from Death's Hill, why help Yue Ya? He has already been stripped of his position as the God of Defense."
"The people of Death's Hill are not afraid of death. He cannot threaten me. Let Luo Ning and the rest go."
Lu Yin smiled. "I'm curious. If these people from Ninefall Universe die, and I say that you forced them to do so, will it affect you?"
Yue Ya's gaze darkened and was filled with murderous intent. Sikong Jian could not suppress his instincts. He had underestimated Lu Yin's awareness.
He had to think about it at length.
Chao Yi said plainly, "No."
Lu Yin nodded. "You want to attack me because Yue Ya promised to give you the people from Nine Foot Garden, right?"
Chao Yi said, "Yes, but it is not presentable. I will give a presentable reason to report back."
The people on Wu Jiang looked at Chao Yi strangely. Why was he so straightforward?
Lu Yin did not expect him to say it so directly. "Then I will add some bargaining chips. For example, the elite cultivators of an era in the spiritualized universe."
After he finished speaking, he pointed at the four battleships that Wu Jiang was dragging. "Yu Sang Tian is leading the spiritualized universe's top cultivators to destroy the Consciousness Universe. This group of cultivators represents the future of the spiritualized universe. Do you not care about them?"
"If you attack me, I will kill them."
Yue Ya's gaze changed.
Previously, Lu Yin had used this group of cultivators to threaten Yu Sang Tian, forcing him to attack the Eternals. After that, Wu Jiang had dragged the four battleships and fled.
Lu Yin did not use these cultivators to threaten Yue Ya. To Yue Ya, he was already staking everything. As long as he could transform his mind, he would pay any price. Why would he care about these cultivators? When the time came, even if the God of Defense blamed him, he would have the ability to face it.
However, Chao Yi was different. If he attacked, he needed a presentable reason. This was based on the premise that this group of cultivators from the Ninth Heaven Universe died. However, if this group of cultivators from the spiritualized universe died, it would not only be a loss for the major forces of the Ninth Heaven Universe, but also for the entire Ninth Heaven Universe.
He could not answer to Death Hill or the God of Defense.
Thinking of this, Chao Yi looked at Yue Ya seriously. "Sorry, I can't help you."
Yue Ya's eyes widened. "You broke your promise."
Chao Yi said, "Compared to the loss of the Ninth Heaven Universe, the promise is not important."
"You!"
Yue Ya was furious. At this moment, his feelings were the same as Vast Mist's when he was betrayed. He had been betrayed by Chao Yi so easily.
As a powerhouse, promises were important, but he had forgotten one thing. Chao Yi's realm was forever fixed and would not improve. He did not care about promises or vows.
He only cared about Death Hill and the Ninth Heaven Universe.
Just as Chao Yi had said before, Lu Yin did not expect Chao Yi to betray Yue Ya so easily and decisively.
He couldn't find a good reason to do so.
This person was interesting.
Yue Ya could not do anything about Chao Yi. Looking at Chao Yi's calm and even somewhat matter-of-fact gaze, he was furious. The trust between people suddenly disappeared.
As the God of Defense, a top powerhouse, Yue Ya had always been the one to betray others. No one had ever betrayed him.
Now he felt quite sullen.
However, he had to suppress his anger. His tone softened. "Chao Yi, the life and death of these people is nothing compared to my transformation. If sacrificing the people of an era can help a God of Defense, which do you think is more important?"
Chao Yi said seriously, "The God of Defense is more important."
Yue Ya nodded. "Yes, then you."
"You are not the God of Defense."
"As long as I get rid of Lu Yin, I will definitely transform."
"If that is the case, why don't you go back to the Ninth Heaven Universe and ask the God of Defense for help?"
"You!" Yue Ya could no longer suppress his anger. This bastard was determined to break his promise.
The people on Wu Jiang looked at Yue Ya and then at Chao Yi. They thought that these two were strong enemies, but they did not expect things to turn out this way. Should they say that the bargaining chip in their hand was too important?
Or that Chao Yi was too honest?
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "This matter has nothing to do with you, Chao Yi. Next is our grudge with Yue Ya."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yi, Heavenly Lord Victor, and the other powerhouses rushed out. "Yue Ya, die."
"Yue Ya, die."
"Yue Ya, die."
