Jian Hong rushed out of the door and crashed into the blood tower.
Clang!
There was a loud noise and Jian Hong spat out blood. The figure stretched out his hands and the Sequence Particles shrouded the world like a shadow. "Die!"
At that moment, the wind blew and the clouds surged. Elder Dian Jian paused and looked up in shock. Consciousness, a terrifying consciousness, how could it be here?
He had sensed the consciousness earlier and thought that it had been accidentally scanned, so he attacked after the consciousness disappeared. How could it appear again?
Jian Hong panted and looked up at the sky. The consciousness was so terrifying that it could change the world. It made it hard for them to breathe.
He was a Spiritual Prime, and the Old Man of Sword Dianjian was Du Ku Ai. They were both top experts, but even so, they were suppressed by this consciousness. Who?
He couldn't imagine who could have such a terrifying consciousness in the Jiuxiao Universe.
Was it not a consciousness, but a thought?
A thought, the God of Defense under the Moon?
Suddenly, they saw a figure appear out of nowhere and land slowly. Finally, under their uneasy gazes, it landed on the ground less than ten meters away from them. It was a young man.
It was Lu Yin. He looked to the side. "Jian Hong?"
Jian Hong trembled. Was he here for him?
Lu Yin looked at Elder Dian Jian and waved his hand casually to drive him away.
Elder Dian Jian's expression changed and he stared at Lu Yin. "Who are you?"
Lu Yin frowned. "Fortunately, Jian Hong is not dead. Otherwise, you would be buried with him. Get lost."
Elder Dian Jian's eyes were filled with murderous intent. This person's consciousness was powerful, but what about his combat ability?
Could it be a bluff?
There were not many people who cultivated consciousness in the Jiuxiao Universe, and he had never heard of such a terrifying consciousness master.
He was not willing to give up on Jian Hong, but this person was indeed terrifying.
If it was not a bluff, the consciousness just now was enough to suppress him.
In the end, Elder Dian Jian chose to retreat. That consciousness did not give him the courage to fight. Even if it was a bluff, even if the consciousness was not as strong as he felt, he did not want to fight. He had to find out more about this person when he got back.
Just as he was about to leave, Lu Yin suddenly said, "Wait."
Elder Dian Jian's eyelids twitched. "Is there anything else?"
Lu Yin looked at him. "I heard that you're called Old Man Dianjian. You've killed countless sword masters. What a coincidence, I'm also skilled in the way of the sword. Let's see if you can step on my sword."
Elder Dian Jian's heart sank. Even without using his consciousness, this person actually wanted to attack with the way of the sword. He was fearless, so he was definitely a top-notch expert.
His tone became more respectful. "How can my Sword Touch Steps compare to Senior's? If Senior has nothing else, I will leave first."
"Nonsense."
Lu Yin casually waved his hand and an invisible force swept out. Old Man Dian's eyes widened as he struck out with a single palm. There was nothing there, but he seemed to have seen something.
Jian Hong frowned. This was a sword art of conception.
The thirteenth sword of the Sword Sect, Emotion. As long as there was emotion, it could be transformed into a sword.
This sword technique was no longer rare, and Lu Yin had been able to break through it back then. However, as his cultivation increased, he gradually realized that this was a battle technique with an artistic conception. Emotions did not have to be familial, romantic, or friendship. They could also be emotions towards the heavens and earth, towards persistence, or towards life and death.
It was impossible for a person born in this world to see through a person's feelings.
Even if one was able to face life and death without any attachments, they would still be trapped by the word 'love'. If one was heartless, how could one not have any attachments?
It was precisely because one once had that they would lose them.
This sword was completely different from the thirteenth sword.
The thirteenth sword dealt with human emotions, but this sword dealt with the emotions of the heavens.
If the heavens had emotions, how could humans be heartless?
Old Man Dian was very powerful. He saw the Emotion Sword and wanted to step on it, but the sword pierced through his body and he missed.
Blood spread from his back as the sword pierced through him.
He looked deeply at Lu Yin and bowed slowly before retreating. Blood stained the ground where he had been standing.
After Old Man Dian left, Jian Hong came back to his senses and bowed deeply to Lu Yin. "Junior Jian Hong greets Senior."
Lu Yin sized Jian Hong up. "You're lucky. If I had been a step later, you would have died."
Jian Hong bitterly asked, "Senior?"
Lu Yin looked at the basket on Jian Hong's back and was surprised. "Is that Xi?"
Jian Hong did not know how to answer and was silent for a moment.
"I've never heard of Xi being carried. It seems that the secret is there. What a strange creature. Can you tell me more about it?" Lu Yin was interested.
Jian Hong was alert. "Senior, are you here for it too?"
Lu Yin laughed. "Yes, I'm here for you."
Jian Hong's expression turned ugly.
"Forget it if you don't want to talk. Let's go."
"Where to?"
"The Sixth Night Pillar."
Jian Hong's eyes flashed. "Senior, were you asked to send me to the Sixth Night Pillar?"
Lu Yin looked at him. "Be smart and don't ask so many questions. Your vigilance and probing are useless against me. You're no different from an ant in my eyes." With that, an invisible force wrapped around Jian Hong. Lu Yin took a step forward, and Jian Hong disappeared.
The Seventh Night Pillar to the Sixth Night Pillar was not too far for people of their cultivation, but Jian Hong had been surrounded and unable to break through no matter how hard he tried.
However, with a single step from Lu Yin, the seal was no longer effective.
It would not take long for them to reach the Sixth Night Pillar.
However, what would come would still come.
The void around Jian Hong suddenly stopped as his body distorted and spread out. Everything around him gradually returned to normal.
Lu Yin clasped his hands behind his back. "Come out."
Jian Hong's heart sank; someone was blocking him again. Who was it this time?
In front of him, a man slowly walked out with an expression of shock and confusion. He looked at Lu Yin. "You must be Mister Lu Yin."
Lu Yin looked at the man. "That's right."
The man sighed. "Why are you interfering in this matter?
This is Yu Jiuxiao's matter and has nothing to do with Eon Realm or Mister Lu. "
"My goal is to bring him to the Sixth Night Pillar. If you want to make a move, wait until I leave. Otherwise, you won't have a good ending," Lu Yin said indifferently.
Jian Hong looked at the man in shock. He had not expected Lian Jing to be here. He was one of the people who had the qualifications to be the Head of the Fifth Night Pillar and was on the same level as Swordmaster Taicang.
Jian Hong had guessed that this matter would attract absolute powerhouses, but he had not expected it to be Lian Jing.
Why was Lian Jing involved?
Also, did he know this person?
Lu Yin?
He seemed to have heard of this name before.
Lian Jing nodded. "Mister Lu, you were able to destroy the Spring and Autumn Jade. Your strength is not something I can compare to. I believe your words, but I have no choice but to act. The Fifth Night Pillar needs the item in Jian Hong's basket."
Lu Yin laughed. "Then have everyone from the Fifth Night Pillar come. Let's see if they can steal it from me."
Jian Hong was stunned. What arrogance! Wait, the Spring and Autumn Jade was destroyed?
He remembered.
"You're that Lu Yin?"
Although Jian Hong had been fleeing for the past two years, he had still heard of some things. In particular, the blood-soaked mausoleum had shaken the entire Ninefirmaments Universe.
The Spring and Autumn Jade was a colossus that the Sixth Night Pillar hated to the core but could not do anything about. However, it had been destroyed by a single person, and that person was called Lu Yin.
On that day, the mausoleum had been dyed in blood, and the Spring and Autumn Jade had fallen. Ying Mei and the other familiar experts had died, and Qian Shu, who had been sleeping in the Junior Imperial Pavilion, had been captured. The Spring and Autumn Jade's turbid treasure had been stolen.
Everyone felt like they were in a fantasy story.
This was especially true after the Spring and Autumn Jade had violated a taboo and robbed cultivators. The entire Ninefirmaments Universe was enraged.
But no matter how angry they were, the Spring and Autumn Jade was gone. It had been destroyed by that person called Lu Yin.
That person had come from the lower three universes.
So it was him. No wonder he was so strong.
Jian Hong could not figure out why such a person would protect him to the Sixth Night Pillar.
Lian Jing could not figure it out either. "Mister Lu is from Yehai. Is this related to Yehai?
If that's the case, the Fifth Night Pillar should retreat. Mister Lu, please explain. "
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Since you recognize me, where did you get the confidence to stay here?"
"Because I'm Lian Jing."
Lu Yin subconsciously looked at Jian Hong. This person's confidence made him seem like an important figure. Could he have an Eternal Realm expert backing him? Was he the son of an Eternal Realm expert like Qing Yun?
Seeing Lu Yin's confusion, Jian Hong whispered, "Could it be that you don't know Hefang Mountain?"
Lu Yin shook his head.
Jian Hong understood, and Lian Jing heard it as well. They were both speechless and afraid. This person actually did not know Hefang Mountain. No wonder he did not recognize Lu Yin. It had been too dangerous just now. If this person had been a little reckless, Lu Yin would have died.
How could someone not know Hefang Mountain?
Even if this person came from the spiritualized universe, he was from Yehai. Had he not heard about the Ninefirmaments Universe?
Lu Yin had naturally inquired about the Ninefirmaments Universe, but Si Jiushi and Lu Siyu had not mentioned Hefang Mountain.
Sometimes, the more common something was, the easier it was to ignore it.
Hefang Mountain was a little special, and it could be said to be a small group.
Lian Jing did not rush him. Jian Hong whispered to Lu Yin about Hefang Mountain.
"Hefang Mountain is a territory in the Southern Region. It is not a force, but a choice. Anyone who enters Hefang Mountain can be considered an Eternal Disciple …"
With Jian Hong's introduction, Lu Yin understood and naturally understood why Lian Jing was so fearless.
To put it bluntly, Hefang Mountain itself was not a force, but it was the largest force in the Ninefirmaments Universe. As long as one ascended Hefang Mountain, they would be noticed by Eternal Realm experts and called an Eternal Disciple. This Eternal Disciple was not a disciple, but a protective label. After returning from Hefang Mountain, no one was allowed to kill or injure this person for a hundred years. A hundred years later, when the person ascended Hefang Mountain again, this person would bid farewell to the Ninefirmaments Universe forever.
No one who ascended Hefang Mountain returned alive, and no corpses came back.
"Completely disappeared" was enough to describe it.
Since ancient times, many cultivators had ascended Hefang Mountain, but there had been no news of them ever since. Some left behind legends, and some disappeared forever, completely disappearing from the world.
Nobody knew where these people had gone. Only the Eternal Emperor knew.
Those hundred years had been the most peaceful period of their lives. During that time, no one had dared to cause trouble for them. They were the Eternal Disciple, and they were protected by the entire Ninefirmaments Universe.
Lian Jing was an Eternal Disciple. He had ascended Hefang Mountain once, and after a hundred years, the Ninefirmaments Universe would lose him forever if he ascended Hefang Mountain again.
