It was no wonder why Hundred-Kill Libra had lured Lu Yin to the Cheng Family. Even if the Cheng Family had escaped, Hundred-Kill Libra still had to think of a way to kill Lu Yin. This was because Lu Yin would definitely kill the Cheng Family, which was a hidden danger. This should also be a condition that the Cheng Family had left behind for the Cheng Family. If Lu Yin was not killed, the Cheng Family would have no more descendants.
His son had been killed by Lu Yin in the spiritualized universe, so he hated Lu Yin to the core.
Jue Ling did not understand. "How could the Cheng Clan's descendants be completely wiped out by Cheng Gong?
Is the Cheng Clan that stupid? "
Hundred-Kill Tian opened his eyes. "When a person puts down their bottom line, what can't they do?"
"After returning to the Continent of the Nine Clouds, he received Yue Ya's help, and his strength increased rapidly. He is now second only to me. More than ten years ago, when Mister Lu became famous in the Eastern Region, he began to plot and poison people. Cultivators have poisons that target cultivators, and no one would have thought that he would poison his own people. Until recently, when he heard that Mister Lu was coming to the Western Region, he poisoned all of the Cheng Clan's descendants to death and then fled.
"The Cheng Clan's 168,300 people all died, and only I survived. However, it has been a long time since I was able to give birth to a descendant. I, Hundred-Kill Tian, have let down the ancestors of the Cheng Clan. I can only die to thank the Cheng Clan."
The ground beneath his feet cracked. "Before I die, I will show the Continent of the Nine Clouds the true glory of the Cheng Clan."
After he finished speaking, the void withered as the sourceboxes' murderous intents filled the air. In an instant, nineteen sourceboxes' murderous intents descended and attacked Lu Yin.
Ninety Instant shocked Yu Jing, Jue Ling, and the others. Even those in the Cheng Clan's territory were shocked. They only knew that Hundred-Kill Tian could Instant Twelve, and even if he hid it, he could only Instant Fifteen at most. They had not expected him to reach Instant Nineteen.
Nineteen Instant Nineteen was not just any sourcebox array. Every one of them was incomparably sharp, and when nineteen of them descended, even Lu Yin was surprised.
HTtρ
Hundred-Kill Tian wanted the Continent of the Nine Clouds to see the glory of the Cheng Clan and his strength.
He wanted to vent his anger and grievances. He wanted to kill Duke Xiang because Duke Xiang had exterminated the descendants of the Cheng Clan, but he wanted to kill Lu Yin even more. If it hadn't been for Lu Yin, this wouldn't have happened. He knew that he couldn't defeat Lu Yin, but he wanted Lu Yin to be cursed by the entire Continent of the Nine Heavens.
He only had one chance to attack. When he used Instant 19, Hundred-Kill Tian Cheng said, "Lu Yin, you forced the Cheng Clan to be destroyed. The Cheng Clan will be destroyed, and the Withering technique will disappear. The Continent of the Nine Clouds will have no more Withering techniques. You are a sinner of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, a sinner."
The Hundred-Kill Libra wanted the entire Nine Firmaments Universe to know that it was Lu Yin who had forced the Withering Killing Intent technique to disappear. That was the most powerful technique in the Garnering Sky Universe. Once it disappeared, the Nine Firmaments Universe would not be satisfied.
Lu Yin was definitely out of luck. The Cheng Clan had been exterminated, and the Hundred-Kill Libra wanted Lu Yin to suffer as well.
Unless that person reached the Eternal Life Level, he wouldn't be able to explain himself to the entire Nine Clouds Universe. The Eternal Life Emperor wouldn't let him off easily.
Die, all of you, die!
The Hundred-Kill Libra's face was ferocious. It was as if he could see Lu Yin being cursed by countless people from the Continent of the Nine Clouds. The Tian Yuan Universe wanted to enter the Continent of the Nine Clouds?
Impossible! The Cheng Clan had been exterminated, and the Tian Yuan Universe would never be able to enter the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and everything changed.
Lu Yin was still standing there, looking calm. Everyone around looked at the Hundred-Kill Libra in confusion.
The Hundred-Kill Libra was even more confused. In his hand, he hadn't released the nineteen Withering Killing Intents. He remembered that he had attacked Lu Yin, so why hadn't he attacked?
"If you don't attack, your nineteen Withering Killing Intents will bury you," Lu Yin said casually. He smiled, but his eyes were cold.
His words were like a brush that could paint the world. Lu Yin had felt that something was wrong with the Hundred Kill Libra's current state, so he had used his Words to Enforce Law to make the Hundred Kill Libra do what he wanted. That had been a facade created by the Hundred Kill Libra's consciousness that could change everything, but it was real for the Hundred Kill Libra.
As expected, this person wanted to blame the destruction of the Withering Technique on Lu Yin. The Withering Technique wasn't simple; it was the most valuable sourcebox's killing intents that Lu Yin had found in Garner Heaven's bloodline. If it was destroyed because of Lu Yin, many people in the Nine Clouds Universe would be angry at him, and some would even find a reason to condemn him.
This was a cage that the Hundred-Kill Libra had designed for himself with his own death. It was also a cage that he had designed for the Tian Yuan Universe.
It was truly vicious.
The Cheng Clan hadn't been exterminated because of Lu Yin, and he hadn't wanted to implicate the entire Cheng Clan in his grudge against Duke Cheng. It was just like the Spring and Autumn Scroll. Those who had attacked him had died, but Lu Yin had still let the disciples of the Spring and Autumn Scroll go.
The Hundred-Kill Libra looked at his hand. What was going on?
He had clearly attacked.
Why had everything changed?
Time reversal?
Lu Yin's gaze deepened. "Hundred-Kill Libra, you showed everyone the glory of the Cheng Clan. Nineteen Instant was indeed powerful. Unfortunately, everything was destroyed by Duke Cheng, right?"
The Hundred-Kill Libra's eyes narrowed, and he roared, "Yes, everything was destroyed by that unfilial son of Duke Cheng! That bastard who betrayed his clan and exterminated the Cheng Clan! It was him! It was all him!"
After he finished speaking, the Hundred-Kill Libra's face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. No, this wasn't what he wanted to say. He had clearly wanted to call Lu Yin a sinner, so why had things turned out this way?
He couldn't control his own body, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say. He couldn't even release the nineteen Killing Intents in his hand.
"My Cheng Clan was exterminated by that unfilial son. I, the Hundred-Kill Libra, cannot accept this. I have let down Mister Lu and Garner Heaven City!"
The Hundred-Kill Libra roared again, and his eyes were bloodshot. He wanted to say what he wanted to say, but he couldn't. This contradiction made him spit out blood again.
He knelt down and faced Lu Yin. The Hundred-Kill Libra raised his head and stared at Lu Yin. He had been controlled. This person was actually able to control him silently. He was even more terrifying than everyone had imagined. That sword didn't represent him at all. This was his true strength.
He could easily control a powerhouse at the peak of the Bitter Adversity Realm. Was this person really in the Eternal Realm?
Not only did this person control his body, but he also forced him to say things he didn't want to say. This person wasn't human. He was the same as the Eternal Ruler, a god.
Only Lu Yin and the Hundred-Kill Libra knew what the other was thinking. Unfortunately, the Hundred-Kill Libra couldn't say what he wanted to say. He couldn't even beg Lu Yin for mercy. Lu Yin wouldn't let him speak.
Everything was over.
"The Cheng Clan has failed to teach properly. We have let down the Nine Firmaments!" With a loud roar, the Hundred-Kill Libra slapped himself. The nineteen Killing Intents instantly submerged him, and he turned into ashes before everyone's eyes.
Everyone stared blankly at the Cheng Clan's land. They had experienced more in this day than they had in their entire lives.
Even Yu Jing and Jue Ling were somewhat confused.
In particular, the Hundred-Kill Libra's death was even more incomprehensible.
Had he committed suicide?
For what?
Atonement?
They looked at Lu Yin. Had this person done something?
Impossible. The Hundred-Kill Libra was at the peak of the Bitter Adversity Realm. No matter what, he wouldn't have died for no reason.
However, they knew the Hundred-Kill Libra well. This old man was extremely sinister and greedy for power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Cheng Gong go to the spiritualized universe. It could be said that he had taught Cheng Gong all by himself.
Why would such a person commit suicide?
Lu Yin shook his head and sighed. "Cheng Gong harmed the Cheng Clan. The Hundred-Kill Libra asked for mercy and got what he wanted. He allowed us to witness the Cheng Clan's final glory, but he himself died under this glory."
No one refuted this. This was the truth.
Lu Yin looked at the Cheng Clan's cultivators again. Hundreds of thousands of them were trembling. They didn't know what fate awaited them.
"You can leave," Lu Yin said.
The Cheng Clan's people looked at Lu Yin expectantly. They were filled with the desire to live.
Lu Yin waved his hand. "My grudge with Cheng Gong doesn't involve the Cheng Clan. Hundred-Kill Libra is also dead. You can leave."
Hearing Lu Yin's words, the Cheng Clan's people hurriedly bowed and left. They weren't from the Cheng Clan. They were just cultivators who joined the Cheng Clan. The real Cheng Clan's people died under Cheng Gong's hands.
In the blink of an eye, only Lu Yin, Yu Jing, Jue Ling, and a few others were left in the Cheng Clan's land. The rest had fled.
As for the people the Cheng Clan hired to kill Lu Yin, they were nowhere to be found.
All the arrangements were resolved by one sword.
A grand war might not necessarily have a grand ending.
Lu Yin finally looked at Yu Jing and Jue Ling.
The two looked at each other and then faced Lu Yin. They bowed deeply. "We didn't know about the Cheng Clan's conspiracy. If we have offended you, please don't blame us."
Lu Yin looked at the two. "Do you know about the Cheng Clan's Withering Carving Technique?"
Yu Jing and Jue Ling shook their heads.
Lu Yin looked at them. The two didn't avoid his gaze.
"Go out. I will visit you in a few days," Lu Yin said.
The two nodded and left the Cheng Clan's land.
"Did Hundred-Kill Tian commit suicide?" Yu Jing's expression was heavy.
Jue Ling said, "Seems like it."
"I don't believe it."
"So what?"
Yu Jing sighed and looked up at the sky. "I always feel that when facing Mister Lu, my life is not in my control."
Jue Ling thought of the karma that Jue Qing had mentioned and felt a chill. Karma, that sword that crossed two domains, was not something they could resist. "Don't think too much. You and I didn't attack him. It's a blessing in disguise."
Yu Jing looked at Jue Ling. "The Cheng Clan's Withering Carving Technique."
Jue Ling frowned and looked back at the Cheng Clan's land. He shook his head and didn't say anything else.
Yu Jing also looked back. From today onwards, the Cheng Clan would no longer exist in Cang Tian City, no, in the entire Nine-Cloud Universe.
After everyone left, Lu Yin's consciousness swept across and dispelled the haze trap underground. He searched every corner of the Cheng Clan and found the Cheng Clan's treasury.
He also had a cosmic ring in his hand that belonged to the Hundred-Kill Scale.
He had obtained it before Hundred-Kill Tian had died, along with a drop of his blood. When he opened it, there was nothing inside.
Hundred-Kill Tian had prepared too well.
Whether it was his external arrangements or the worst possible outcome, he had considered it all.
If the Cheng Clan failed to kill Lu Yin with the alliance of the three clans, the Cheng Clan would be destroyed. Before they died, they would make Lu Yin the public enemy of the entire Nine-Cloud Universe. This was the bottom line that the Cheng Clan could accept. Only by making Lu Yin the public enemy would he have a chance to live. He didn't have to climb He Fang Mountain.
As long as Hundred-Kill Tian could do it, he would leave an heir for the Cheng Clan.
Since the worst case scenario was death, Hundred-Kill Tian naturally didn't want to leave anything behind. His cosmic ring had long been emptied.
