Lu Yin exhaled and disappeared. When he reappeared, he was back at the Yan Family.
Zhang Hongyun hurried forward when he saw Lu Yin.
Lu Yin glanced at the hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the Yan Family. "Strip the Yan Family of their right to cultivate and hand over all their spirit seeds to the frontline."
Zhang Hongyun bowed respectfully. "Yes."
When the cultivators of the Yan Family heard Lu Yin's decision, their heads buzzed. Some turned pale, some fainted, and some yelled, "Lu Yin, who do you think you are?
What right do you have to strip us of our right to cultivate?
You're from the Tian Yuan Universe. You don't belong to Jiuxiao. "
"Lu Yin, you're helping the Tian Yuan Universe to harm the Jiuxiao Universe."
"What right do you have to do this?"
Zhang Hongyun's eyes were sharp. His aura swept across and suppressed all the members of the Yan Family. "Shut up."
Lu Yin looked at the members of the Yan Family. "Ask your leader who told him to denounce me. It's Wangfu."
The members of the Yan Family were confused.
Zhang Hongyun's body shook. Wangfu?
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand Wangfu. I don't need to explain it to you. Either hand over your spirit seeds or go to the frontline yourselves. This is the price you have to pay." Then Lu Yin looked at Yan Chong. "As for you, do you know what to do?"
Yan Chong closed his eyes and knelt down slowly. "I don't deserve to die, but the members of the Yan Family don't know Wangfu. Please give them a chance to go to the frontline. If they can survive …"
"If they can survive, then so be it." Lu Yin left after saying that.
He didn't care how the Yan Family denounced him. The result of the war was clear. Besides, the decisive figures of the Jiuxiao Universe knew the situation.
He didn't exterminate the Yan Family because he didn't need them.
The members of the Yan Family didn't deserve to die for following the trend.
Perhaps …
Lu Yin stepped onto the Frightening Sparrow Terrace and looked back at the Southern Region. He felt pity for himself.
Jumping out of hatred, pity came. Pity for whom?
Not the Yan Family, but … people.
On the Frightening Sparrow Terrace, Startled Gate Shangyu appeared.
"Done?"
"We found a small fish. Unfortunately, we didn't catch a bigger fish."
Shangyu of the Alarmed Gate said, "If it was that easy to deal with Wangli, we old fellows would have been able to find it."
Lu Yin wasn't disappointed. He couldn't even find a few Immortal Realm cultivators, so he wouldn't be able to find them easily. "I've been waiting for years. On the one hand, I've been waiting for Qinglian Shangyu and the others to return. On the other hand, I've been waiting for Wangda to appear. It seems like I've failed."
Jingmen Shangyu said, "It can't be considered a failure. There aren't many small fishes in Wangfu. Killing one counts. The problem now is that the sea of insects is getting bigger and bigger."
Lu Yin's expression turned serious, "The insects are reproducing faster than I thought. In a few more years, perhaps even you won't be able to sit still."
Jingmen Shangyu did not deny it.
"Since that's the case, let's add some variables and force them to initiate the battle."
"What do you want to do?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed with killing intent, "Kill an Insect Master."
…
Ever since Lu Yin had decided to kill the Insect Lord, he did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the Alarmed Guard had relaxed.
Even though he was an Eternal Realm powerhouse and could decide everything in the Ninth Firmament Universe with a single word, he still felt pressured.
It was not that he did not trust Lu Yin, but the war could not be decided by one's will. Once there was a deviation, the relationship between Lu Yin and the Ninth Firmament Universe, as well as the war between the Ninth Firmament Universe and the hive civilization, would go in an unpredictable direction.
No one could control the battlefield, not even an Eternal Realm powerhouse.
If they could kill an Insect Lord, the pressure on the Ninth Firmament Universe would be much less.
But which one should they kill?
They had some understanding of the four Insect Lords.
Lu Yin had personally tested the Time of Avici. It had to be said that it was very tricky, and there had to be some hidden abilities.
Wangfu had been bombarded crazily by Lone Duanke, Death Hill, and the other powerhouses. Even though they had lost the Third Night Pillar, it was obvious that it was fake. Even Master Grass found it tricky.
As for Luo Chan, she could not be found at all.
Only Dan Xiao, who was born in the Third Stronghold, had the Lost Clan Card, and also had combat skills. No matter how one looked at it, she was similar to a cultivator. She should be the easiest one to kill.
The one who had fought with Dan Xiao was the Eighth Night Pillar, and its leader was the eldest disciple of the Blood Tower — Xuelou. He was also known as Xuelou, and he was extremely strong. He was close to being invincible under the Eternal Realm. This person should have probed most of Dan Xiao's strength.
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. Dan Xiao was the most suitable target.
A few days later, someone stepped onto the Startling Sparrow Terrace. It was Dan Hong's God of Defense. She had come for no other reason than Lu Yin's invitation to participate in the operation to kill the Insect Lords.
In order to kill the Insect Lords, they had to be fully prepared.
The Insect Lords were extremely strong, and none of them were easy to kill. Even Lu Yin was not completely confident that he could kill them, especially when there was the Time of Avici. Luo Chan was a strange lifeform, and it might even have an Eternal Realm substance or even vitality. It would not be easy for Lu Yin to kill one of them.
Thus, he decided to invite a few people to participate.
He did not expect them to kill the Insect Lords, but at least they could provide him with a battlefield that would not be disturbed. Even if they could isolate Luo Chan from the outside world, that would be good.
Luo Chan could teleport and even divert the sea of Insect Lords. It relied on its aura, and if he could create an absolute darkness that blocked all auras, he should be able to block Luo Chan's reinforcements.
This was the reason why Dan Hong and the others had joined the operation.
Dan Hong walked to Lu Yin's side and asked, "Are you confident?"
She knew that the four Insect Lords were very strong; otherwise, they would not have been so passive.
Lu Yin said, "As long as I have the chance to fight alone, I should be able to kill one of them."
"Which one?"
"Dan Xiao."
Dan Hong thought about it. "She might be the most suitable. Humans are really underestimated."
Lu Yin looked at her in surprise.
Dan Hong said, "If we had to choose an Insect Lord, we would all choose Dan Xiao, a human who is not human, right?"
Lu Yin looked away. She was right. Of the four Insect Lords, he would definitely choose the easiest one to kill. Why did he think of Dan Xiao first?
Was it because she was the closest to humans, and humans were the weakest?
For a moment, Lu Yin was conflicted. Should he choose Dan Xiao?
At first glance, Dan Xiao might seem the weakest, but she was the closest to humans. What were humans good at?
Hiding.
They might seem weak, but they were also very strong. She might very well be a human.
If he understood humans so well, why would he choose one?
Lu Yin fell silent.
Not long after, another person arrived. This one reeked of alcohol and was very sober.
"I didn't expect you to really come," Lu Yin said.
He had only invited Qing Xing to test the waters. If Qing Xing hadn't participated in the battle to suppress Thorny Thorn, he wouldn't have even invited him. No matter how he looked at it, Qing Xing didn't seem to care anymore.
Qing Xing took a sip of wine. "Master's greatest wish was for humans to be safe. Even I feel disgusted looking at these bugs."
Lu Yin nodded and didn't say anything else.
Qing Xing didn't ask anything else. He wasn't interested in which Insect Lord to kill; he just wanted to act.
Dan Hong stood to the side and waited calmly.
Lu Yin had invited a total of three people. Two had arrived, but he didn't know if the last one would show up. He invited this person out of curiosity, but these two were enough.
Still, it would be best if this person came from Earth.
Just as he was thinking, someone stepped onto the platform.
Lu Yin looked over and was shocked. Was this the Great Master?
The third person he invited was the master of Death Hill, the Great Master.
He had always been curious about the Great Master. This person controlled Death Hill and was an existence second only to the High Defense God. Even the Low Defense God didn't dare to be impudent in front of the Great Master.
The Great Master's actions were even more special. Death Hill specifically took in those who bore deep grudges, which made people curious about the Great Master's personality.
Lu Yin had spoken with the Great Master at Pyrolyte Mountain, which had made him feel that the Great Master was a calm and wise person. However, when Li Guo had contacted the Great Master, the Great Master's reaction had been very erratic.
This had made Lu Yin very curious about the Great Master.
Now that he had seen her in person, his curiosity was satisfied, but it was quickly followed by astonishment.
This was the Great Master?
The woman who appeared in front of him was dressed in gauze and a straw raincoat. She looked like a fisherman, and although her face was delicate, she gave off an honest and even wooden feeling. Her white waist and long legs were exposed as she walked towards Lu Yin step by step. She even had a paddle on her back.
Lu Yin stared blankly. This was the Great Master?
Was she really not a fisherman?
No, fishermen didn't dress like that. It was as if … as if … he couldn't describe it.
Qing Xing and Dan Hong weren't surprised, as they had both seen the Great Master before.
After all, one was a disciple of Mi Jin, while the other was a god of defense.
This was Lu Yin's first time seeing her, and he was truly shocked.
This was far from the Great Master that he had imagined.
"Hit who?"
The Great Master asked directly. She looked at Lu Yin with a wooden expression, and her voice was crisp and clear. It was completely different from Huaisi's altered voice.
Lu Yin coughed. "Great Master?"
"Yes."
"Oh."
"Surprised?"
"A little."
"Don't judge a book by its cover, which is why I don't like to show my face. You people all like to judge a book by its cover." The Great Master raised her brows and stared coldly at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was speechless. Even if one didn't judge a book by its cover, the contrast was too great.
"This isn't the first time we've met," the Great Master said.
Lu Yin nodded. "I met you at Pyrolyte Mountain."
"We met in Yehai as well."
Lu Yin was stunned and then blurted out, "You're one of the Seven Fairies?"
The Great Master grunted. "I'm the eldest sister."
This time, it wasn't just Lu Yin; even Qing Xing and Dan Hong were surprised.
"You're one of the Seven Fairies?
But you've been around for a long time. Why are you with the Seven Fairies? "Qing Xing was confused.
Dan Hong was also astonished and stared at the Great Master.
The Great Master rolled her eyes. "That's why I'm the eldest sister."
They were speechless. Was that what she meant?
The Great Master grew impatient. "Alright, we're not young anymore. What's there to be surprised about?"
Lu Yin was speechless.
The Great Master looked at Lu Yin. "Hit who?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"Time of Avici," the Great Master said.
"Why?"
Lu Yin didn't understand. No matter how he looked at it, the Time of Avici was not suitable. Even Pyrolyte Mountain was more suitable than the Time of Avici because the Time of Avici's control over the Dao of Time was too strange. Lu Yin wasn't even confident that he could escape.
The Great Master was confident. "In terms of the Dao of Time, this Time of Avici might not be much better than me. You seem to be quite skilled in the Dao of Time as well. Let's work together and get rid of him first. Otherwise, he'll be a disaster. Whoever touches him will be unlucky."
"If we're going to fight, we'll fight the strongest."
