Lu Yin looked at his back and asked, "What kind of person was Mi Jin Yu?"
Qing Xing stopped and turned his back to Lu Yin. He thought for a moment before replying, "A busybody."
"How did he die?"
"Two retreated and one died. Don't ask, or I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the Continent of the Nine Firmaments. Remember, be smart and don't be a scapegoat."
Lu Yin looked at Qing Xing's departing figure. Two retreated and one died?
A scapegoat?
Was that so?
Of the two who retreated, one must be the Blue Lotus Superior Yu, and the other must be the Blood Tower Superior Yu. At that time, the Wonder Gate Superior Yu had not yet reached the Eternal Realm. She only broke through the Eternal Realm after the expedition to the Mind Universe.
To be honest, the three Supremes had been very good to him ever since he came to the Continent of the Nine Firmaments. It felt like they were indulging him, but he didn't want to believe it.
However, he hadn't been in contact with them for long, so he didn't know what kind of people they were.
He would rather trust Qing Xing and keep his guard up.
From the Tianyuan Universe to the Continent of the Nine Firmaments, Lu Yin had always been on high alert.
In the distance, Zhang Hongyun and the others watched quietly. No one dared to disturb Lu Yin until Lu Yin looked at him and waved.
Zhang Hongyun took a deep breath and walked over, "Mr. Lu."
Lu Yin nodded, "Your Lonely Swan Island is very good."
Zhang Hongyun was excited, "Thank you, Mr. Lu. It's an honor to work for you."
Lu Yin released Zhang Yushu.
Zhang Yushu saw Zhang Hongyun and was excited, "Grandpa."
Zhang Hongyun glared at him, "Silence, don't you see Mr. Lu?
Why aren't you saluting Mister and thanking him for sparing your life? "
Zhang Yushu wasn't stupid. He had thought it through the last time he came out and bowed, "Thank you for sparing my life, Mr. Lu. Yushu is very grateful."
Lu Yin grunted, "Go back with your grandpa. You've worked hard."
"I wouldn't dare. It's my greatest fortune to be able to follow you, Mr. Lu," Zhang Yushu hurriedly said.
Zhang Hongyun added, "Yushu hasn't had many opportunities since he was young. Meeting Mr. Lu is his greatest opportunity."
Lu Yin smiled and tapped Zhang Yushu's arm. Zhang Yushu felt his meridians swell, and he subconsciously wanted to retract his arm, but he forcefully resisted the urge.
He knew very well that if Lu Yin wanted to harm him, there was no need for him to waste his breath.
He only felt that his entire arm was numb, and he couldn't feel anything.
Zhang Hong Yun looked and became more and more excited. As expected, working for Mister Lu would be rewarded. He just didn't know what it was.
Lu Yin pulled his hand back. "I'll fuse some power into your body. After a period of time, this power will strengthen your body and increase your strength. It'll be enough for you to surpass your peers, and if you encounter any life-threatening danger, you can use this power to save your life. As long as you're not facing an absolute powerhouse, I'll be able to protect you."
Zhang Hong Yun was overjoyed. "Yushu, quickly kowtow to Mister."
Zhang Yushu hurriedly knelt down. "Thank you for the power, Mister. Thank you."
He looked up, but Lu Yin had already disappeared.
Zhang Yushu heaved a sigh of relief. His arm was still numb and he could not feel anything. Zhang Hong Yun hurriedly helped his grandson up and touched his arm. He could feel a strong sense of strength and he exclaimed, "This Mister Lu is indeed famous for his strength. He once used his strength to break the Spring and Autumn Jade Scroll and was invincible in this world. Even the Third Night Pillar, who was known as the ruler of strength, could not do this.
Zhang Yushu nodded. "Grandpa, what did Mister Lu do in the Ninefirmaments Universe?
It doesn't seem as simple as destroying the Spring and Autumn Scroll. Are you that afraid of him? "
Zhang Hong Yun smiled bitterly. "Even if you know what he did, you'll still be afraid. There's nothing to be ashamed of. Let me tell you, when we heard that Mister Lu wanted Lonely Swan Island to do something for him, the Island Master almost came personally. Every time you go back, you'll be treated differently. Haven't you always liked the Island Master's daughter, Jing?
That won't be a problem. "
Zhang Yushu was overjoyed. "Really?
That's great. "
Zhang Hong Yun sighed. "It's a pity. If you can become his disciple, you'll reach the heavens in a single bound. Let alone Jing, even the Seven Fairies can propose marriage. Who would dare say that you're not qualified?"
Zhang Yushu was puzzled. "Then why didn't you mention it?"
"Do you think such a small matter can make you his disciple?
One must know one's limits and not be greedy. Wait until Lonely Swan Island does something for Mister Lu, then we can try to mention it. Besides … "There were some things that Zhang Hong Yun didn't dare to say. He was afraid that Lu Yin would cause too much trouble and implicate Lonely Swan Island.
Everyone had their own selfish motives, and Loneswan Island had gone to great lengths to help Lu Yin not just for Zhang Yushu's sake, but also to establish a relationship with Lu Yin. However, if Lu Yin became an enemy of the entire Continent of the Nine Clouds, then Loneswan Island's relationship with Lu Yin would also be destroyed.
Now it seemed that Lu Yin was highly regarded by the three Eternal Lords, but he was still from the Tianyuan Universe. No one could predict his future.
Life in this world was often a gamble. If you won, you would reach the heavens in a single bound. If you lost, you would fall into the abyss.
If Lonely Swan Island had the courage to gamble, it wouldn't be at the bottom of the rankings.
A few days later, Lu Yin saw the Fifth Night Pillar.
Many cultivators in the sky and on the ground were heading towards it.
Lu Yin hadn't expected that he would become the Night Head of the Fifth Night Pillar. He didn't know what Swordmaster Taicang was thinking.
At this moment, Swordmaster Taicang's expression was calm, but his disciple Sui Ding knew that he was feeling uneasy. That's right, it wasn't anger, but unease.
Swordmaster Taicang didn't want to go to the Full-Sensory Universe, not because Lu Yin had taken the position of Night Head, but because this battle wouldn't be easy.
When had an expedition to the Outer Universe ever been easy?
It was an entire universe with countless parallel universes that gave birth to countless lifeforms. No one knew what kind of civilization would be born.
Even if the Full-Sensory Universe was understood in advance, it was impossible to understand everything.
In the past, there had always been an Eternal Realm cultivator in charge of the Outer Universe, ready to take action at any time. However, this time, there was only Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was very strong, but he wasn't an Eternal Realm cultivator. This made Swordmaster Taicang uneasy.
The slightest carelessness could lead to death.
The Full-Sensory Universe should be equal to the Ninefirmaments Universe, not something that could be destroyed by a few Night Pillars.
"Master, that is?"
Swordmaster Taicang looked up; Lu Yin had arrived.
Everyone in the Fifth Night Pillar was silent. Lu Yin's arrival meant that the battle was near, and they would be leaving soon.
Lu Yin's consciousness swept across the entire Night Pillar. He was now the Night Head, so he had the right to do so.
There were quite a few familiar faces.
Wei Heng and Jing Lian were here as well. Were they going to keep an eye on him?
Wujie was here as well. It seemed like Dream Sky didn't want to interact with him and wanted him to deal with it himself.
There was also Lang Ruyu, Ku Mu, and the others.
Eh?
Mister Yi Bai?
Lu Yin looked at a corner of the Fifth Night Pillar, where Mister Yi Bai was bowing to him.
This person was one of the few people who had been praised in the Spring and Autumn Scroll. Lu Yin hadn't expected him to participate in the battle.
There were originally many cultivators in the Fifth Night Pillar. There were two people who had achieved the Great Circle of Ku Woe, Swordmaster Taicang and Lian Jing. Now, there were many more experts, but there was no one who had achieved the Great Circle of Ku Woe.
The Fifth Night Pillar was very lively, but the atmosphere was much more solemn than when the Sixth Night Pillar and the others had left.
Reinforcements meant that the situation was unfavorable, and they didn't know what awaited them.
Lu Yin landed in front of Swordmaster Taicang.
Swordmaster Taicang hurriedly bowed. "Night Chief."
Wei Ding also hurriedly bowed. "Greetings, Night Chief."
Lu Yin said, "I'll leave the arrangements for the Fifth Night Pillar to you. Is that alright?"
Swordmaster Taicang was helpless. He wasn't even the Night Chief, but he had to do the Night Chief's job. However, under the pressure of Lu Yin's gaze, he had no choice. "Understood, Night Chief."
Lu Yin found a place to rest.
He also reminded Swordmaster Taicang to not let Jing Lian and Wei Heng find him.
He didn't want to be stared at by two men.
Before Swordmaster Taicang could react, Jing Lian and Wei Heng came over and asked where Lu Yin was.
Swordmaster Taicang could only say that he didn't know.
The two could only look around.
Wei Ding was dumbfounded. Jing Lian and Wei Heng were both high and mighty Eternal Imperial Disciples. Yet, they were left in the dust. Mr. Lu was too ruthless.
Cultivators continued to join the Fifth Night Pillar.
It was only when the original departure time was reached that the Fifth Night Pillar was sealed. Even if someone came, they couldn't join.
Underground, the Tomorrow Beast let out a violent roar.
Lu Yin opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
A door appeared, towering between heaven and earth, appearing above the fifth night pillar.
Lu Yin bowed deeply. "Greetings, Almighty Emperor."
"Greetings, Almighty Emperor."
"Greetings, Almighty Emperor."
…
Countless voices gathered into a sea and spread out in a mighty manner. Even the roars of the Sun Beast were suppressed.
A gentle voice came from the door. "Sacrifice is necessary to survive. Since you are willing to enter the battlefield, you must have the determination and will to achieve. Live and win. You can obtain everything you want."
"In the name of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, I wish you a triumphant return."
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
War drums sounded and the ground shook. The Tomorrow Beast roared and raised the Fifth Night Pillar. With a roar, the Fifth Night Pillar turned into a shooting star and disappeared from the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
At that moment, countless people in the Continent of the Nine Clouds watched. They had finally left. Who knew how many people would return? Some of them would definitely transform and bring about a change to the Continent of the Nine Clouds.
After experiencing the Fifth Night Pillar rushing out of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, it wasn't as shocking as the first time.
Lu Yin was more curious about the scroll that the Almighty Emperor had given him. It contained information about the war in the full-sensory universe. He had said that he had to leave the Continent of the Nine Clouds to see it.
As soon as he left the Continent of the Nine Clouds, he couldn't wait to open it. It was a ten-meter-long scroll with several scenes drawn on it.
As the scroll opened, scenes rose into the sky. Although they were drawn by someone, they were vivid and lifelike, just like a real battlefield.
The more Lu Yin looked, the more solemn his expression became. He could understand why the Continent of the Nine Clouds had sent reinforcements.
Just the scenes in this scroll showed that many cultivators had died, and the way they died was different. It was full of strangeness.
He saw a group of cultivators standing on the ground, not daring to move. Their eyes were covered with black cloth, and they were like statues. They allowed the storm in the distance to approach and tear them apart. Even so, they didn't dare to move, as if they were waiting for death.
He saw a group of cultivators fall as they walked, and full-sensory creatures crawled out of their bodies. It was extremely cruel and horrifying.
He saw a group of cultivators hiding on a planet, trembling. They died one by one as if they were being kept in captivity.
