The insect wave quickly appeared, and everyone began to fight against the parasites.
This place had been unlocked once before, and the second time was not as complicated. In less than half a day, Lu Yin had opened up a path to leave. Unfortunately, he had to rush out. He had originally planned to charge entrance fees, but that was no longer appropriate. Otherwise, he would incur the wrath of the crowd, and if some people died because of him, it would be tantamount to starting a feud. It was not worth it.
However, he had already found a new way to make money, and his future was promising.
Lu Yin was looking forward to it.
Northgate Lie did not act against Lu Yin again, and many people were curious about what Lu Yin had obtained. However, no one believed that he could escape, and it was only a matter of time before he handed it over.
After a while, Lu Yin was the first to reach the edge of the broken limb. He boarded his personal spacecraft, and the Explorers immediately rushed out. Many Limiteers also boarded their spacecraft and rushed out as well.
Northgate Lie's speed was about the same as Qin Chen's, and they both rushed out of the broken limb at the same time. Northgate Lie was just about to say a few words to Qin Chen when he saw a scene that left him speechless. Qin Chen had turned into Lu Yin.
Northgate Lie blinked in confusion. "What are you doing?"
Qin Chen calmly replied, "See you later." He then accelerated out of the limb and flew off into the distance.
Northgate Lie was stunned in place, unable to react for a long time.
Lily Anne appeared behind him. "What's wrong, Brother Lie?"
Northgate Lie's expression changed, and he suddenly attacked a personal spacecraft that was flying off into the distance, forcefully stopping it. He stared at the person inside and saw that it was another Lu Yin. To be more precise, it was Lu Yin.
Lily Anne was shocked. "What's going on?"
Northgate Lie was furious, and he glared at the person inside the spacecraft. "Why did you turn into Lu Yin?"
The person trembled in fear. "Lu Yin used lockbreaking as a condition to force us to swear that we would turn into him and leave the Northline Flowzone."
Northgate Lie was shocked, and he looked behind him. Explorer after Explorer flew out of the broken limb, and a few of them looked like Lu Yin.
What was even more hilarious was that a small spacecraft flew past, and the dozens of people on it all turned into Lu Yin.
Cultivators cared about their hearts, and since they had sworn an oath, they would not go back on it unless it was something too important. Thus, the scene that Northgate Lie was witnessing had occurred.
This scene was astonishing, as it had never happened before, and Northgate Lie did not know what to do.
It wasn't just Northgate Lie. Outside the centipede's body, many of the Cruisers and stronger powerhouses who were helping Northgate Taisui hold up the centipede's body were also stunned. How could there be so many Lu Yin?
There were many people who had entered the centipede's body, and they all rushed out one by one. Some joined up with the powerhouses, while others left immediately. Qin Chen, for example, flew off into the distance like a wild horse that had escaped its reins. He was still wearing Lu Yin's appearance.
At this point, the real Lu Yin had already flown quite a distance away. He turned back to look, hoping that he could escape. This method was to buy time.
However, before he could rejoice for long, the spaceship suddenly stopped. No, it should be said that the entire starry sky stopped. The void was dragged by an indescribably terrifying force, and all the spaceships in an unknown area were forcefully dragged back.
Lu Yin sighed; there really was no way to escape. An old freak with a power level in the hundreds of thousands had unimaginable strength.
"Seventh Bro, just accept your fate. Actually, the pikes aren't that important. That corpse was nailed to death by five pikes, and the pikes weren't retrieved. You should know that they aren't that important. What's really important are the words," the monkey said helplessly.
Lu Yin sat peacefully within the spacecraft. He knew that the monkey was right, and the pikes were just weapons. He did not care too much about them, but he did not accept threats. Was this his fate?
Not necessarily.
The centipede's body was placed in outer space not too far away from the Northgate family. Many powerhouses had used a planet as a foundation to create a continent out of thin air for the centipede's body.
At this moment, more than a hundred powerhouses stood in outer space, not daring to make the slightest sound.
Northgate Taisui was shrouded in the void, and no one knew where he was looking.
With Northgate Taisui at the center, the entire universe was like a giant whirlpool. Everything in outer space was pulled in, regardless of whether it was a person, a spacecraft, an astral beast, or even a celestial phenomenon. Nothing could escape Northgate Taisui's power.
This power caused even Enlighters like Boss Northgate, Granny Chan, and Tie Sa to tremble. They were not even on the same level.
With a bang, a spacecraft exploded, and the man inside returned to his original appearance in a panic. Northgate Kong waved his hand, and the man was taken away. Then, another spacecraft exploded.
Spacecraft after spacecraft exploded. Regardless of whether they had changed their appearances or not, as long as they were in a spacecraft, they were all captured.
Even Explorers could not escape, and none of those who had entered the centipede's body could escape.
Even the nearby shipping spacecraft and military forces were unable to escape.
Everyone was forcefully placed on a planet not too far away. Qin Chen was there as well, and he stared expressionlessly at outer space.
Jared sneered. This Lu Yin had been blinded by greed. How could he possibly escape from an old freak whose power level was in the hundreds of thousands? He was too naive.
The Blaze Realm had suffered heavy losses during this trip to the centipede's body. Two elders had died, one at Lu Yin's hands. The other had not died, but Jared had sent him on his way. As for the culprit, it was still Lu Yin. From now on, the Blaze Realm's enmity with Lu Yin would grow, and this was Jared's greatest gain.
Northgate Lie stood beside Northgate Kong, his eyes fierce as he glared at the people who had taken on Lu Yin's appearance.
A small spacecraft's hatch opened, and dozens of people who had taken on Lu Yin's appearance walked out. They were all timid, and Northgate Kong's face darkened. He impatiently waved for them to be taken away.
Everyone in the surrounding space had been captured, and Northgate Kong inspected them one by one. Actually, he did not need to do it himself, but since Northgate Taisui had spoken, he had to do it himself, which made him rather unhappy.
With a bang, a spacecraft exploded, but there was nothing inside.
Northgate Kong frowned. No one?
Where was everyone?
On a planet, a wooden-faced man quietly looked at the sky. Next to him was the middle-aged captain who had spat out smoke rings. Next to him were dozens of mercenaries.
"Brother, you're very calm. Not bad. Only with this kind of mentality can one survive in the universe. It's been a long time since I've seen a youth as calm as you," the captain lamented as he looked at the wooden-faced man.
On the other side, Qin Chen glanced over.
"Actually, although the universe is dangerous, as long as one's heart is as steady as a rock, has the courage to face difficulties, and is willing to sacrifice for their companions, one will be able to make a name for themselves." The captain sighed once more, and the atmosphere around him suddenly turned heavy.
The wooden-faced man's expression did not change, and he continued to look at the sky.
The captain blew out a smoke ring. "I've sacrificed too much for my companions."
"Captain, we pledge our lives to serve you!" the dozens of mercenaries shouted, attracting quite a few people's attention.
Qin Chen frowned and glanced at them strangely again.
Jared growled from nearby, "Shut up!"
The captain pursed his lips.
The wooden-faced man glanced at Jared. "Shut up. He said it well, and I'm touched."
Jared was furious, and he clenched his fists. "Kid, do you know who you're talking to?
I'm from the Blaze Realm. "
"I'm from the Ice Realm." The wooden-faced man curled his lips.
Jared was so angry that he trembled.
The captain sighed as he looked at the wooden-faced man. "Little brother, do you want to join my mercenary group?
I like you. "
"Brother, you'll have a bright future if you follow the captain!" the dozens of mercenaries shouted.
Qin Chen glanced over again and was left speechless.
…
At this moment, Northgate Taisui turned around in outer space. His gaze swept past all the powerhouses and landed on the planet where the captive had been placed. The void around his body distorted, and his appearance could not be seen. However, his eyes seemed to appear in everyone's hearts, and they felt like they were being oppressed by the vast stars.
Finally, Northgate Taisui's gaze landed on the wooden-faced man. "Come out, kid." The man was pulled out, and his appearance changed. He was Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was helpless. When the spacecraft had been captured, he had deliberately put on his universal armor and snuck into the small spacecraft. He had been placed on the planet with the dozens of Lu Yins, but he had still been found.
The moment he was pulled out, the captain and everyone else were stunned. Wasn't this Lu Yin?
How had he gotten in?
Qin Chen's eyes narrowed. This person was rather interesting.
Jared was furious. So it was this bastard.
The middle-aged captain swallowed his saliva. Had he said too much just now?
In outer space, countless people watched as Lu Yin's body was covered in a layer of star energy, making him look like a marionette.
This layer of star energy ensured that he would not explode in space. In reality, Northgate Taisui did not know that Lu Yin would not explode even without the protection of star energy. His strength as a Limiteer was enough to survive in space.
Northgate Lie sneered when he saw Lu Yin being pulled out. He had already said that Lu Yin would not be able to escape.
Lily Anne frowned. This was too unwise.
Poison Flame's gaze turned sharp. He had hoped that Lu Yin would escape so that the Blaze Realm could take action. In front of such great benefits, Lu Yin's status would not be able to protect him.
"Alright, kid. As a representative of the Ten Arbiters Council, you were able to witness the Northline Flowzone's Northgate Platform Competition. My Northline Flowzone has treated you with great respect, but leaving without saying goodbye is a little too much," Northgate Kong said calmly. Everything was under control.
Lu Yin apologized. "I'm sorry, Northgate Family Leader. I have urgent matters to attend to and must leave."
Northgate Kong nodded. "You can leave, but shouldn't you share what you obtained from the centipede's body? Kid, you're a smart person, so there's no need for me to spell it out so clearly. Don't worry, I won't let you leave empty-handed."
If not for Northgate Taisui, Astral-10 would have been able to guarantee Lu Yin's safety. However, at this moment, Lu Yin did not even have any thoughts of contacting Astral-10. His goal had been clear from the start. He would only keep one of the three pikes, but even if he had to hand it over, he would not be threatened.
"Family Leader Northgate, are you referring to the three pikes that I obtained from the centipede's body?" Lu Yin asked loudly.
Many people were shocked. It was actually the pikes.
