"Who else could it be?" The maid was puzzled.
Bai Xia's eyes flickered. "Other than the God of Defense, I can't think of anyone else who has the ability to avoid me and directly affect the Junior Defense Tower."
"The Alarmed Defense Tower?"
"Hmph, the Alarmed Defense Tower doesn't have the time to care about the Junior Defense Tower. Someone must have instigated him, and that person is obvious."
"Mister Lu?
Why would he do that? "
Bai Xia was about to answer when he suddenly realized something. He angrily rebuked, "Stupid girl, what are you asking? How would I know? Shut up."
The maid smiled faintly. She wasn't afraid, but she didn't ask any further.
However, she was truly curious. At Mister Lu's level, the Junior Defense Tower shouldn't even be worthy of his attention. Why would he interfere with the tower?
…
Lu Yin quietly followed the carriage in Blackmarsh. At this moment, the Junior Defense Tower and the people who wanted to compete with the Junior Defense Tower had probably all arrived.
The Junior Defense Tower was where the geniuses of the various eras of the Nine Firmaments Universe lay dormant. Every era would have more than one or two geniuses, and there would always be competition.
Lu Yin had previously heard from Si Jiushi that some people were very stubborn and had set their sights on a particular Junior Defense Tower. Thus, the Junior Defense Tower might not be the only Junior Defense Tower here.
Lu Yin was looking forward to it. He hoped that these fellows would turn Blackmarsh upside down and see how the underground existence would hide.
Half a month passed quickly. The carriage had been in the swamp for a long time and had been attacked by many bugs. Fortunately, there were no casualties. The most dangerous time was when three Brocade Asuras attacked them. Lu Yin worked with Ling Guang and Ling Shu to take care of one while the other two were taken care of by others.
During this time, Yu Xiang 'er didn't get out of the carriage. However, her maid was curious and would occasionally get out of the carriage. She had become familiar with Lu Yin.
"That's the Brocade Asura. It's said that they can travel on flat surfaces and can't be seen, especially in books."
The maid sat in front of the carriage. The old man driving the carriage was calm and not good with words. He just listened to the maid speak.
Ling Guang said, "I heard that the Brocade Asura is a bug that the Insectoid Nest civilization uses to destroy their inheritances. It's very sinister."
"It's a good thing that the insectoid hive was dealt with. Those bugs were too terrifying," she said. She then looked at Lu Yin. "Hey, Fugui, are your injuries alright?"
When the Brocade Asura had appeared, Lu Yin had purposely allowed his shoulder to bleed a little.
"I'm fine." Lu Yin moved his arm.
At the side, Ling Shu said, "Fortunately, it's not too deep. Otherwise, this arm would be gone."
The little handmaiden sympathized. "Have you always been like this?
Walking in danger. "
Ling Guang smiled and said, "This is a rogue cultivator. It's very normal."
Lu Yin smiled as well. "We've encountered many dangers, and many of them were life-or-death situations. You don't want to experience that kind of life."
The little handmaiden nodded. "I just want to follow Miss and live my whole life." With that, she smiled and got into the beast carriage.
Ling Shu was envious. "It would be nice to have a lady like Yu Xiang 'er."
On this day, Yu Xiang 'er's cry of surprise came from inside the beast carriage.
Many people were on guard.
"Why would they come to Blackmarsh?"
Lu Siyu's voice was heard, "Third Sister told me that they are going to compete for the position of First Young Master in Black Lake."
"Seventh Sister, fortunately, you reminded me in time. I have to go."
With that, he opened the curtains. "Everyone, please return to Black Lake City as soon as possible."
No one dared to delay and hurried to Black Lake City.
Lu Yin laughed. They knew that Prince Xiaoqing and the others were coming to Blackmarsh, so they wanted to leave. But even if they wanted to leave, they had to go to Black Lake City to inform them.
They had been hurrying on their journey for the past few days. However, after going around in circles, they were too far away from Black Swamp City. It was a distance that mortals would never be able to cover in their entire lifetime. As for cultivators, even if they were Half Martial Ancestor experts, they would still need time to return to Black Swamp City.
Unfortunately, they were surrounded by a sea of insects.
Inside the beast carriage, Yu Xiang 'er looked at the dense swarm of insects in the distance. Her face turned pale. "Why is there a sea of insects?"
The little handmaiden panicked. "Didn't they say that there are no more insects in Blackmarsh?"
The cultivators around the carriage spread out and faced the sea of insects, starting to fight.
Lu Yin, Ling Guang, and Ling Shu stayed beside the beast carriage. From time to time, they would be torn by the Seven Star Sword and the beast carriage would bear the brunt of the impact.
With the Emissary's cultivation, she could not keep up with the Seven Star Sword's speed and could only endure the impact.
Even Ling Guang, a half-ancestor, could not see through it.
Fortunately, everyone was prepared to face these insects.
Although this group of cultivators was mostly made up of spirit seeds, they could not be underestimated.
Qian Li's appearance caused many cultivators to tremble. They were not afraid of the powerful stone dragon or the extremely fast Seven Star Sword, but they were most afraid of Qian Li. That kind of agony was worse than death was too torturous.
If Qian Li appeared anywhere, it would lead to a large-scale bombardment, and the cultivators swore to eliminate her.
Lu Yin held onto the beast carriage tightly, but the shockwaves from the impact almost sent him flying.
Ling Guang hugged Ling Shu and frowned. Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead, and his pupils flickered. This was a sign of extreme pain. He had also been injured by Qian Li.
Qian Li could cause a half-ancestor to commit suicide.
"Bro, bro, bear with it!" Ling Shu screamed.
Lu Yin grabbed Ling Guang and Ling Shu and pushed them aside. The Brocade Asura appeared where they had been standing. If he had been any slower, Ling Shu and the others would have been torn apart.
Although Lu Yin had hidden his identity, he had developed feelings for the Ling siblings after interacting with them for some time, and he could not bear to see them die.
The expert who had been protecting Yu Xiang 'er in the dark should have made his move.
Just as he thought of this, the void in front of him trembled and boiled, as if tiny arrows were piercing through the void. In an instant, the surrounding sea of insects began to fall. Qian Li, the Brocade Asura, and even Gui Lan, who had been hidden in the Void World, all fell out.
None of the insects could dodge the void arrows.
Lu Yin looked in a certain direction, and the others subconsciously looked over as well. The attack had come from that direction.
In the distance, a youth was walking over. He seemed to have emerged from the void, and it was so unreal that it seemed like a mirage.
As he approached, the ripples in the void gradually softened, and they seemed to form a lotus that bloomed.
He had emerged from the lotus!
Every step he took caused the insects to die.
Everyone watched in a daze as he approached, but they did not move.
Ling Guang's pain lessened, and he stared blankly at the youth.
The youth walked to the front of the beast carriage with a calm expression. "Xiang 'er."
Everyone gulped. Xiang 'er?
That was too intimate. Who was this person?
Could it be Yu Xiang 'er?
Just as he was lost in thought, Yu Xiang 'er stepped out of the beast carriage. Behind her, the little handmaiden followed her step by step.
Yu Xiang 'er faced the youth and slowly bowed. "Xiang' er greets senior."
Senior?
Everyone understood. No wonder he was a disciple of the Blue Lotus Emperor. There were many such disciples, but they did not know who he was.
The youth looked at her. "You're hiding from me."
Yu Xiang 'er shook her head. "No."
"You and I are brother and sister, so there's no need to be so formal. Senior Yu Mi hopes that you can marry me, and I won't object. If you don't want to, I won't force you," the youth said.
The moment he said this, everyone knew who he was. The Young Azure King was sleeping in the east of the Junior Defense Tower. Countless people believed that he would become an Eternal Realm cultivator in the future.
He was a king with half his body and could walk the world.
No one had expected to see the famous Young Azure King in such a situation.
That was a sign of an era.
In the era when the Young Azure King was born, no one could surpass him. He was accepted as a disciple by the Blue Lotus Emperor. He and the Seven Fairies were accepted at different times. Some of the Seven Fairies were accepted earlier than him, while some were accepted later. Regardless, the Young Azure King was a true direct disciple of the Blue Lotus Emperor. The Seven Fairies, including Ming Zhuo and Jing Lian, were all nominal disciples of the Blue Lotus Emperor.
The Young Azure King truly represented Ye Hai.
"Greetings, Young Azure King."
"Greetings, Young Azure King."
"Greetings, Young Azure King …"
Everyone hurriedly bowed to show their respect for Ye Hai.
Lu Yin also pretended to bow.
Ling Guang endured the pain and bowed as well.
The Young Azure King's gaze swept across everyone, and his eyes trembled. Those who were tortured by Qian Li instantly felt relieved.
Ling Guang relaxed and almost fell to the ground.
The pain was gone.
He was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed. "Thank you, Young Azure King, for saving my life."
Ling Shu's eyes turned red. "Thank you, Young Azure King."
More than one person who was tortured by Qian Li was grateful to the Young Azure King.
The Young Azure King walked forward and entered the beast carriage. "Let's go. Bring me along."
Yu Xiang 'er blinked and looked at the beast carriage. She seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say anything in the end. She entered the beast carriage with the help of her maidservant.
When the curtains were drawn, everyone retracted their gazes and suppressed their shock.
They actually saw the Young Azure King. That was the Young Azure King. Who knew how many years later, the Young Azure King might attain immortality and become a supreme expert of the human race.
Now that they saw him, they could brag about it for the rest of their lives.
If they could catch the Young Azure King's attention and be taken in as a disciple — no, an attendant would do. If they could become the Young Azure King's attendant, they would be able to reach the heavens in a single bound. Wasn't this better than digging for treasures?
People like the Young Azure King disdained to dig for treasures.
For the rest of the journey, whenever they encountered bugs, the cultivators would attack with all their might. In short, they did their best to display their prowess, hoping to catch the Young Azure King's attention.
Lu Yin also put in some effort. Everyone was working hard. If he didn't do anything, he would be too conspicuous.
Even Ling Guang was doing his best. In his words, it wasn't because he wanted to catch the Young Azure King's attention, but because he wanted to repay the Young Azure King for saving his life. He didn't want these bugs to disturb the Young Azure King.
In the beast carriage, Yu Xiang 'er looked outside and then looked at the Young Azure King. "Senior brother is more popular than me, one of the seven fairies. Look at those people, they almost went up to bite the bugs."
The Young Azure King closed his eyes and rested. He didn't care.
Yu Xiang 'er rolled her eyes. She leaned lazily in the beast carriage and looked outside blankly.
The maidservant peeked at the Young Azure King from time to time, but she didn't dare to speak.
When the beast carriage entered Black Swamp City, everyone relaxed. However, they also felt that it was a pity. It would be great if they could encounter the sea of bugs again. They could show off what they had learned in their lifetime and show the Young Azure King, even though the possibility of being valued was not high.
"Sister, it would be great if you could marry someone like the Young Azure King." Ling Guang was envious.
Ling Shu was speechless. "Brother, stop dreaming. Is that kind of person someone you and I can think of?
Why don't you ask me to marry Mister Lu? "
Lu Yin pursed his lips. Was this a confession?
Look at Star Stomper. 8.2 …
