"Did you see that Lu Yin?"
The Taicang Swordmaster's voice rang out. It was just one sentence, but it sounded like he was repeating it word by word.
Huang Ding's eyes flashed. "I saw him. He returned from the Silin Region and reported it to Master."
"Say it again."
"Yes."
Huang Ding did not know why the Taicang Swordmaster wanted him to say it again. Had the Taicang Swordmaster found out about what he had said to Lu Yin?
He nervously repeated what he had said before. No matter what, he had already said it once, and he could not change it.
The Taicang Swordmaster listened quietly. He had heard Huang Ding mention Lu Yin before, and he had been very concerned about him back then. However, he had not cared as much as he did now.
This person had destroyed the Spring and Autumn Scroll alone, which meant that he was no ordinary powerhouse.
Even the Taicang Swordmaster could not destroy the Spring and Autumn Scroll alone.
Lu Yin had come from the Karmic Sea, and his background, cultivation, and battle prowess were all difficult to measure. However, he had interfered in this matter.
Huang Ding spoke very slowly, repeating everything that he had said before without missing a single word.
The Taicang Swordmaster frowned and looked into the distance, not saying anything.
After a while, he sighed and said tiredly, "You may leave."
"Yes, Master." Huang Ding hurriedly retreated.
Suddenly, the Taicang Swordmaster stared at him and asked sternly, "Did you offend this person?"
Huang Ding's face paled, and he subconsciously recalled the scene of Lu Yin interrogating him.
The Taicang Swordmaster's gaze turned cold, and he reached out from his black robes to grab Huang Ding and pull him over. There was an unprecedented coldness in his eyes. "Did you offend this person?"
"No, Master. I did not offend him."
"Nonsense, what happened between you two?"
The Taicang Swordmaster roared. He had suddenly thought of asking this question because he did not understand why Lu Yin had stopped the Fifth Night Pillar. However, he had seen Huang Ding's dazed expression and knew that something must have happened.
The Taicang Swordmaster understood that something must have happened between Huang Ding and this person, and that person had interfered to deal with the Fifth Night Pillar.
This matter was extremely important to him, and if he failed because of this disciple, he would crush Huang Ding's bones.
Huang Ding was terrified. "Master, I really did not offend him. it was just that he asked me some questions."
The Swordmaster grit his teeth. "Why didn't you say that last time?
What questions? "
Huang Ding trembled as he recounted his conversation with Lu Yin.
The Taicang Swordmaster stared at him as those words echoed in his head.
How did Lu Yin know that the Fifth Night Pillar was preparing for an expedition?
Who told him? Only Yu Jiuxiao and some people knew about this. Oh right, Ming Zhuo. Ming Zhuo was also there at that time. Ming Zhuo said that this person came from Ye Hai and had an unusual relationship with this person. It was very likely that Ming Zhuo told him.
This person came from one of the three universes. The Fifth Night Pillar was prepared to go on an expedition. At that time, they did not know that they had found another universe. In that case, the target of the Fifth Night Pillar's expedition was very likely one of the three universes. So, this person was trying to stop them?
Or what?
If that was the case, he could have come to the Fifth Night Pillar. Why would he help the Sixth Night Pillar?
No, it didn't make sense. From this person's standpoint, if the Fifth Night Pillar could fight this outer universe, then the three universes would be safe. So why was this person stopping them?
Swordmaster Taicang could not figure it out.
In the past, he thought that the biggest obstacle was the Seventh Night Pillar, Feng Wenqiu Nan, who had a close relationship with the Sixth Night Pillar. He didn't expect such a person to suddenly appear.
Bang
Huang Ding was thrown to the ground and lay there, not daring to raise his head as he trembled in fear.
The Taicang Swordmaster's eyes flashed. Lu Yin, the three universes, an outer universe, Feng Wenqiu Nan, the Seventh Night Pillar, and the Sixth Night Pillar. Was there a connection?
Yue Ya had also received information from the Fifth Night Pillar.
He had been punished to come to the Fifth Night Pillar. Although he had been stripped of his position as the God of Defense, his cultivation and battle prowess gave him the right to fight for the position of Head of the Night Pillars.
Even the Taicang Swordmaster did not dare to be impudent in front of him.
Yue Ya was definitely the Fifth Night Pillar's number one expert.
However, the position of Head of the Night Pillars did not necessarily belong to the person with the highest battle prowess, so the Taicang Swordmaster did not give up.
Yue Ya's lips curled up savagely. "You're here, you're finally here. I knew that you would come. I'll definitely devour you and fulfill my power." His thoughts surged as he returned to reality. How could he devour Yue Ya?
He was certain that he was no longer Lu Yin's match. He had fled in the consciousness universe, and now he was no match for Lu Yin in the Ninth Heaven Universe.
Especially after seeing Lu Yin destroy the Spring and Autumn Scroll, Yue Ya knew that he was not the one who wanted to devour Lu Yin, but Lu Yin might have targeted him. Others might not know, but he knew that Lu Yin had not simply destroyed the Spring and Autumn Scroll. This person had even escaped from under the nose of an Eternal Life Realm creature. It was unbelievable.
Even the Luo family only knew that Lu Yin was being hunted by an Eternal Life Realm creature in the Elysium, but they did not know that he had fled from the consciousness universe. If they had known, they would not have dared to stop him.
Fortunately, this was the Ninth Heaven Universe, and he had room to maneuver.
The most troublesome thing was Lu Yin's relationship with Ye Hai. He knew that Lu Yin had comprehended karma, so could he have become Qinglian Shangyu's disciple?
When he thought of this, his heart sank to the bottom.
In the Ninth Heaven Universe, countless eyes were focused on what was happening.
When Lu Yin interfered, these gazes shifted away. They knew that once an absolute expert like Lu Yin interfered, even the entire Fifth Night Pillar would not be able to do anything.
As such, Lu Yin quickly brought Jian Hong to the vicinity of the Sixth Night Pillar.
"The Sixth Night Pillar did not even send anyone to receive you. It's really desolate," Lu Yin said faintly as he looked at the tall mountain range in the distance.
Jian Hong sighed. "The Sixth Night Pillar does not have any experts at the moment. They don't even need to fight for the position of the head of the Night Pillars. They can only wander about, and there is no one to send."
Lu Yin nodded. "But once the war is started by the Sixth Night Pillar, it will be different. Countless experts from the Ninth Heaven Universe will flock over, and the Sixth Night Pillar will complete the reversal."
"Yes, this is also what we hope to see," Jian Hong said.
The Night Pillars were pillars that supported the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
In the entire Ninth Heaven Universe, the earth was the center. With the earth as the root, the Mother Tree rose from the ground, and under the earth, nine Night Pillars were distributed in a circle. This was the Ninth Heaven Universe.
The Nine Night Pillars were inserted into the earth. Most of them were below, while some were above. Even the part above was as tall as the sky, surpassing the clouds. It was a colossal object that could be seen from afar.
When one saw the Sixth Night Pillar, it was shaped like an oval-shaped stone that was inserted into the earth at an angle. The closer one got to it, the larger the stone became. It became a mountain range, a continent, and even the sky. It was the only thing that could be seen.
When the Sixth Night Pillar completely covered the sky, they finally reached their destination.
An austere aura soared into the sky, and from time to time, cultivators would pass by and glance at Lu Yin and Jian Hong curiously.
These cultivators were different from the ones Lu Yin had seen in the Eastern Region. Their gazes were calmer, but under that calmness, there was a desire to kill. They could suppress this desire to kill, but they could also release it.
These were not pure cultivators.
When cultivators faced external enemies, they were united against a common enemy and did not fear death. This spirit could be found in both the Tian Yuan Universe and the spiritualized universe. However, regardless of whether it was the Tian Yuan Universe or the spiritualized universe, cultivators were still cultivators. They were better at killing and fighting each other. The battlefield was just a corner of the cultivation world.
However, the cultivators here seemed to have been born for the battlefield. The cultivation world's scheming and killing seemed to have become an alternative.
Lu Yin had felt this way ever since he'd met Jian Hong.
Even Lian Jing gave him this feeling.
They were far more obedient than ordinary cultivators, and they were also more unafraid of death.
They had an iron-blooded aura about them.
Lu Yin stepped on the ground. The trees around him were straight and extremely sharp. Every leaf was very sharp. This was not a forest at all, but a mountain of blades.
Beneath his feet, heavy breathing caused the earth to shake.
Lu Yin stopped and looked down. "The Beast of the Tomorrow."
Jian Hong nodded. "The Beast of the Tomorrow is under the Ninth Heaven Pillar. Only the Beast of the Tomorrow can throw the Night Pillars out using a special method."
"A special method?"
Jian Hong looked around and waved his hand. The tip of his sword tore open the ground, revealing a grayish-brown object. It was made of a certain creature's skin and was very elastic.
Lu Yin followed the skin and looked at the Sixth Night Pillar. He understood. "A slingshot."
Jian Hong smiled. "That's right. It's a slingshot, but only the Beast of the Tomorrow can pull it."
Lu Yin did not expect the Night Pillars to be thrown out in such a way. This was clearly a game.
A child using a slingshot to flick a stone away. This was the truth behind the Night Pillars being thrown out.
It was both childish and reasonable.
"There's a Beast of the Tomorrow under every Night Pillar?"
"Yes. The Beast of the Tomorrow was once an extremely strong creature found in a universe that was once extinct. It's very big."
"I've seen it before."
"In the spiritualized universe?"
Jian Hong asked. He knew that Lu Yin came from the three universes. In fact, everyone thought that Lu Yin came from the spiritualized universe. After all, the consciousness universe only had sentient lifeforms. The Tian Yuan Universe had never been connected to the spiritualized universe, let alone the Ninth Heaven Universe.
Lu Yin nodded.
Jian Hong said, "The Beast of the spiritualized universe is not big." He pointed to the bottom of his feet. "This Beast of the Tomorrow below is big."
Lu Yin saw it. He could see it clearly with a sweep of his consciousness.
The Beast of the Tomorrow beneath his feet caused the space to boil. If he had guessed correctly, the Tomorrow Beast was a creature that had reached the limit of strength in a certain universe. It was similar to the Xuwang and the Power Beast, but it was stronger and could reproduce.
Lu Yin could imagine how magnificent it would have been if the Tomorrow Beasts had come out in groups. The entire Tian Yuan Universe would not have been able to withstand a single round of attacks.
One could also imagine how strong the Ninth Heaven Universe was.
Numerous figures emerged from the Sixth Night Pillar and landed in front of Lu Yin and Jian Hong.
The leader was a woman. Her face was ordinary, but there was a hint of weariness and weariness.
This woman should be the only person qualified to be the head of the Sixth Night Pillar. She was a powerhouse who had reached the peak of the Bitter Adversity Realm.
The cultivators behind her were all in the Primordial Realm, and there were even Sequence Law Realm powerhouses. There was not even a single Bitter Adversity Realm powerhouse.
