On the platform, the elders from the Four Lin Sword Sect were helpless. Lu Sizhan had only made up for the gap between him and the other three sect leaders. How could he be called the Four Lin Sword Head?
Which of the past Four Lin Sword Heads wasn't nearly invincible?
Lu Sizhan could defeat the other three with a single strike, but it was impossible for him to defeat all three with a single strike. He had only made up for the gap.
Lu Feichen and the other two paled, but they bowed deeply to Lu Sizhan. "Greetings, Sword Head."
The sword intent had been given to Lu Sizhan, and they would have to cultivate again. Of course, it wasn't difficult because of their realms.
However, they were no longer a threat to Lu Sizhan.
Everyone from the Four Lin Sword Sect bowed. "Greetings, Sword Head."
"Greetings, Sword Head."
"Greetings …"
On the platform, the four elders stood up and bowed as well. "Greetings, Sword Head."
Lu Siyu maintained her bow, but her emotions were complicated. Her father had really become the Sword Head, but this wasn't the position he wanted.
She felt stifled, and she wanted to find him and give him a good scolding.
Lu Yin smiled. The conditions had been met, but the next six conditions would be even more difficult. Lu Siyu was probably quite dissatisfied with him, but he had no choice. If he hadn't done this, how could he have pushed Lu Sizhan up?
Then again, he had only pushed Lu Sizhan up to the position of Four Lin Sword Head, and it wasn't like he was evil. However, because of the Four Lin Sword Sect's actions, Lu Yin had become an evil person.
Still, he had used Lu Sizhan to point out the flaws in their sword intents, and they would be able to advance even further in the future.
Lu Sizhan would have to suffer for the rest of his life if he had to resort to such methods.
He could only help the Four Lin Sword Sect as much as he could in the future to make it up to them.
Above the sword board, Lu Sizhan opened his eyes. They were completely different from before. At this moment, there was a deep and cold look in his eyes. He glanced at Lu Feichen and the others, then turned around and faced the high platform. He bowed deeply, "Disciple Lu Sizhan is ashamed to face the ancestors. I had no choice but to participate in the competition.
"Disciple kowtows and apologizes." He then knelt on the ground.
Everyone was moved. Lu Sizhan was now the Four Lin Sword Head, and he was a big shot even in the Nine Heavens.
The gazes of the disciples of the Sword Sect who had been complaining about him softened a little.
However, there were still many people who were resentful. They could be forgiven just by kneeling a little. Would it be like this in the future when they fought for the position of Sword Head of the Four Lin Sword?
"Disciple Lu Sizhan is willing to die to repay your kindness. Yes, not only to the Lin Sword Gate, but also to the person who taught me how to see through the sword will."
Lu Sizhan stood up and looked into the distance, where Lu Yin was. "I've obtained the Swordhead. Your conditions have been fulfilled. Now, please show yourself and fight with me. The Four Approaches Region will not be humiliated, and I will use my status as the Swordhead to show my sincerity."
Everyone was moved once again. He was going to die to prove his sincerity.
He didn't do it willingly. He was forced to use this method to fight for the title of Swordmaster of Silin.
But why?
Who was it that wanted to force him to fight for the title of Swordmaster of the Silin Sword?
What was the significance of becoming the Head Swordsman of the Four Lin Kingdoms to that person?
Below the stage, Lu Siyu shouted, "Yes, father!"
"Shut up!" Lu Sizhan shouted without even looking at Lu Siyu, "I've made up my mind and I won't change it."
Lu Siyu cried. She was the one who had forced her father to do this. It was all her fault. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
Yes, her father had never cared about the position of Swordhead. It was her obsession that had forced him to this point. If not for her, her father would have been happy and carefree.
Why did she want to beat herself to death at that time?
She didn't blame Lu Yin. She was the one who had set the conditions, and he had just fulfilled them. It was too late for her to regret.
Lu Yin looked at Lu Sizhan's determined gaze. Does he want to die?
That's his character.
Using death to prove his sincerity was worthy of respect. However, Lu Yin was becoming more and more like an evil person.
"Father."
Lu Siyu wanted to rush up the sword board, but she was stopped by the people of the Sword Gate. Many people could see that Lu Sizhan's struggle for the position of Swordhead had something to do with Lu Siyu. Who else could have invited such an expert?
But Lu Siyu probably hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
Lu Sizhan had fulfilled Lu Siyu's filial piety and also fulfilled his own loyalty. He had protected the dignity of the Four Approaches Sword Gate.
On the stage, Ming Zhuo looked at the crowd. Will he come out?
The four elders followed Ming Zhuo's gaze and looked over as well.
More and more people looked in that direction.
Besides Lu Yin, there was also Huang Ding.
Huang Ding's status was very high, especially when he had gone to the Donglin Sword Gate to propose marriage. At this moment, everyone subconsciously looked at him.
Huang Ding was stunned. Why were they looking at him?
"I see, it's the Taicang Swordmaster. The Taicang Swordmaster has made his move," someone exclaimed.
Someone else agreed, "No wonder. I was wondering where such a powerful sword expert came from. It makes sense to say that it's the Taicang Swordmaster."
"This Huang Ding came to propose marriage to the Donglin Sword Gate. Lu Siyu must have asked for Sect Leader Lu Sizhan to become the Four Approaches Swordhead. It makes sense that the Taicang Swordmaster forced Lu Sizhan to fight for the position."
"So that's how it is."
"No wonder, no wonder …"
Huang Ding's mouth fell open. What did it have to do with him? It wasn't like that, but even he felt that it was reasonable. Could it be that his master had secretly helped him?
He didn't know how to explain it. The people around him looked at him with disdain. He wanted to marry the girl, but his master had used underhanded methods. Despicable.
Huang Ding was completely speechless.
Lu Yin glanced at Huang Ding and shook his head.
He was very close to Huang Ding, and Huang Ding saw his gaze. Why did it seem like he was pitying him?
It can't be, right? Huang Ding wanted to say something, but Lu Yin took a step forward and disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already on the stage.
Huang Ding was stunned. Where did he go?
He didn't even see how he disappeared.
"Someone got on the sword board!" someone exclaimed.
The crowd shifted their gaze from Huang Ding to the sword board. They saw Lu Yin standing not far from Lu Sizhan and were puzzled. Who was this person?
Why did he suddenly appear at this time? Could it be him?
But he was so young.
Everyone in the Sword Gate stared at Lu Yin warily.
On the stage, the four elders' eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Ming Zhuo appeared with a smirk.
In the distance, Huang Ding's jaw dropped. So it was him. No wonder he looked at me like that. This bastard wants me to be the scapegoat.
Everyone stared at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin calmly looked at Lu Sizhan. "Is it worth it?"
Lu Sizhan met Lu Yin's gaze. "Yes."
"Then what about your daughter?"
Lu Sizhan glanced at Lu Siyu, who had tears on her face as she looked pleadingly at Lu Sizhan.
Lu Sizhan closed his eyes and hardened his heart. When he opened them again, they were filled with coldness as he stared at Lu Yin. "Some people have to pay the price for their actions. I am no exception."
Lu Yin was amused and sighed. "Yes, you have to pay the price for your actions." He then faced the stage and slowly bowed. "I'm sorry, everyone from the Sword Gate."
On the stage, the four elders subconsciously stood up.
"I was the one who forced Lu Sizhan to compete for the position of Sword Head. I was also the one who attacked the other three sect masters."
Lu Yin straightened up and glanced at Lu Feichen and the others. "The competition for the position of Sword Head is an internal matter of the Sword Gate, but I interfered. It was my fault, so I apologize."
He had never apologized in the spiritualized universe. Back then, he had only held grudges, but now, his mentality was different. At his height, there was no such thing as grudges. There was only survival, competition, and killing. Even if one had to fight to the death, there was still right and wrong, and there was justice.
When they heard his apology, the gazes of the people around him softened.
"Who are you?
Where are you from? "
The elder from the Donglin Sword Gate asked calmly. They could feel that Lu Yin's strength was unfathomable. They had not sensed him at all when he had appeared on the stage, and they could not see the depths of his strength.
The fact that such an expert was willing to apologize to them reminded them of Lu Sizhan's apology. This person had a good character, and he was not someone who used his cultivation to bully others. Otherwise, no matter how strong he was, the Sword Gate would not have feared a battle and would not have allowed Lu Sizhan to take them on alone.
Lu Yin smiled. "I can't tell you my background. This matter started because of me, and the competition for the position of Sword Head was delayed because of me. Since that is the case, I will compensate you." He then looked at Lu Sizhan. "Your life is incomplete."
Lu Sizhan was stunned, not understanding what Lu Yin meant by this.
The others did not understand either.
Lu Siyu stared blankly at Lu Yin. She was the one who had proposed the conditions, and this person had only wanted to fulfill them. However, he had not said anything, as if he had forgotten about her.
Her conditions were not worth mentioning in this person's eyes.
"An incomplete life might be perfect, and everyone envies you, including me. However, you won't be able to take that final step. Let me help you." With that, Lu Yin vanished and reappeared in front of Lu Sizhan in the blink of an eye.
Lu Sizhan, who had already become the Sword Head of the Sword Gate, could not react at all.
Lu Feichen and the others could not react in time either. They only saw Lu Yin place a hand on Lu Sizhan's shoulder.
On the stage, the four elders subconsciously wanted to attack, but they forced themselves to hold back because they would not make it in time.
Only Ming Zhuo's eyes narrowed as he stared at Lu Yin with a burning gaze. What strength! He really wanted to fight.
Karma coiled around his fingertips, and at such a close distance, Lu Yin released his Heavenly Dao of Karma and created a strand of karma that he sent into Lu Sizhan's body.
This strand of karma consumed a lot of Lu Yin's Heavenly Dao of Karma, but he did not regret it. Karma, karma, where there was a cause, there was an effect. The Blue Lotus Emperor emphasized the word 'fate', and those who cultivated karma had to believe in it.
Lu Yin had interfered with the Silin Sword Gate's affairs, which had caused Lu Sizhan to seek death. If this person really died, then Lu Yin would be the one to blame.
In the past, Lu Yin had not cared much about this, as too many people had died because of him. He had personally dealt with many of them, but now, the higher his cultivation, the more he could sense things.
Karma chains at the Eternal Realm were the most direct.
Lu Yin suddenly thought of something. If the Blue Lotus Emperor had cultivated the Dao of Karma and reached the Eternal Realm, then did he have a karma chain?
He had not seen it before.
As Lu Yin pondered this, he created a strand of karma that connected the Wordless Heavenly Tome to the Divine Seal Catalog and entered Lu Sizhan's life.
This strand of karma consumed a lot of Lu Yin's energy, but it was just a fragment to Lu Sizhan. This fragment became the darkest and saddest moment of his life, and it gave Lu Sizhan a past filled with despair and sorrow.
At that moment, Lu Sizhan's life was complete.
