Lu Yin was excited; he'd found a way to uncover Wangfu's identity. He charged towards a nearby ball of light without any hesitation; it wasn't dim at all.
His consciousness fused into it.
It was cold, very cold. He opened his eyes and saw a group of people kneeling before him.
"Lu Yin" rolled his eyes and looked down.
"Ancestor, please wake up! If you don't wake up, the family will be ruined by this idiot!" someone cried out in a heart-wrenching manner.
Someone on the other side immediately shouted back, "What nonsense are you spouting? Tell me clearly in front of the ancestor! How did I ruin the family?"
"You still won't admit it? I really want to see what you'll look like when the ancestor wakes up."
"I'm the family leader, and I represent the family. You're just a second branch. Cut the crap and scram."
"This is the ancestor's territory. What right do you have to chase me away?"
"I'm the family leader."
"I'm also the ancestor's descendant …"
Lu Yin watched them argue quietly. They weren't the only ones below; there was a group of people kneeling as well. Only these two had the highest status and decent cultivation. They were Sequence Laws, so they were probably from some family.
As for this ancestor, he was a Primordial Realm expert.
These juniors didn't know that this ancestor belonged to Wangfu, but they couldn't be blamed. The ancestor had slumbered for far, far too long, and these juniors had never seen him before. All they saw was a block of ice.
This block of ice was similar to extreme ice. It was bone-chilling, sealing the ancestor's body.
Memories flooded in, and Lu Yin saw the ancestor's memories. He saw how he had led the family into battle, how he had been surrounded by his enemies, how he had encountered Wangfu's people, how he had become one of them, defeated his enemies, and worked for Wangfu.
Lu Yin actually saw the Eternity in these memories.
The Eternity had an extremely high status in Wangfu. In any case, there had never been anyone in Wangfu who could surpass the Eternity in status. Why had the Eternity betrayed him?
Lu Yin was puzzled.
This ancestor hadn't had much contact with the Eternity, so he didn't know much about the Eternity's betrayal. He had been ordered to enter seclusion until the moment of Qixu's death.
Now, he had slumbered until now.
"Ancestor, please open your eyes and see this wastrel's ugly face."
"Ancestor, this guy is betraying the family. Please open your eyes. It's the juniors' incompetence. They can't even control a second branch."
"What's wrong with the second branch?
Did you use your spirit seed? "
"The clothes you're wearing are all from your family."
"I'll take it off for you."
"Shameless old man."
The surrounding people were helpless and could only listen. They had heard such arguments countless times and were already numb to it.
It was much better than the rumbling in the sky.
Kacha
"Take it off if you dare, you shameless old thing."
"So be it, in front of the Patriarch. Look at your ugly face, you wastrel."
"You're shameless."
"You're a wastrel."
Kacha
"You, wait." Everyone slowly raised their heads and looked up.
They could see a human-shaped ice block. Now, the ice block had cracked.
Everyone's jaws dropped as they stared blankly.
Kacha
The huge crack extended, and then under everyone's gaze, the ice fell, revealing an old man wearing simple clothes.
Everyone knelt down in a daze. "Ancestor …"
Bang
A deafening explosion tore through the roof, and blood splattered across the ground. Lu Yin had allowed the ancestor to self-destruct. After all, he was a member of Wangming, so what was the point of living?
He couldn't get any valuable information from the ancestor's memories. After all, he had been asleep for too long.
Inside the house, the second branch shouted, "You're pissing the Patriarch off!"
Everyone was speechless.
Back at the battlefield, Lu Yin opened his eyes and exhaled with excitement.
The die hadn't disappointed him. It was fine as long as it was useful.
Unless Wangming had a turbid treasure, none of them would be able to escape. Continue … Wait … He suddenly thought of something and contacted the Stargate Guardian.
Not long after, the scarlet energy gathered in his palm, and he flicked his finger to shake the die.
The die spun slowly. Four pips. Time Stop.
Lu Yin stayed in there for a year before coming out. He rested for a year and continued to study the scarlet energy. Three pips, two pips, and then one pip. Something useless fell out, and he rested for ten days before continuing.
Ten days later, Lu Yin flicked his finger and continued to shake the die. Four pips, five pips, six pips. He rolled it.
His consciousness entered the dark space once more. There were balls of light in front of him, but they were very dim.
He found a random ball of light and merged with it. The scene in front of him changed, and he appeared in a dark room surrounded by emptiness.
Memories flooded in. So that was how it was.
The person he had merged with was a Half-Progenitor on the surface, but he was actually a Progenitor. He was waiting for someone to send over a spirit seed that he had plundered.
Wangming was the one who plundered the most cultivators in the Ninefirmaments Universe. This was what Death Hill had said. Lu Yin hadn't known why Wangming plundered so many cultivators before, but now he knew.
Wangming had allowed Zhi to fuse three spirit seeds and Jie Zun to fuse two, which meant that they had tried and succeeded. Many more people had failed.
If he failed, he would have to waste too many spirit seeds.
Wangming was constantly plundering cultivators, which was why Death Hill had wanted to eliminate Wangming.
Lu Yin also remembered that there was a box in the Spring and Autumn Scroll with the word "Tian" on it to stop Death Hill's soul-seeking technique. The word "Tian" was the same as Wangming, which meant that they were working together. How many powers and independent cultivators in the Ninefirmaments Universe were working with Wangming?
There were far too many.
As his memories flooded in, Lu Yin realized that he was currently in a city, and this Wangming person was waiting for a rather powerful person to send over a plundered cultivator. In his memories, there were many people who had plundered cultivators for him, and this city was just one of them.
The reason why they hadn't been discovered for so long was because they didn't plunder cultivators frequently.
In a cultivator's city, no one would care if a few people died.
It was too normal.
Those with power would use all sorts of reasons to create the illusion that they were killing people and hiding their goal of plundering cultivators.
Every city would have to wait for a year or even longer to plunder a cultivator's soul. If it was considered as a city, it would be considered a small number. However, Wang Lin controlled more than one city.
It could be said that in the Continent of the Nine Clouds, there were cultivators in all the cities, there were people in all of them.
With so many cities added together, they could plunder cultivators many times a year, and Wangming didn't appear personally. Even if the plundering cultivators were caught by Death Hill, it was a personal action.
They had long since found a reason to plunder cultivators in order to deal with Death Hill.
Wangming had done everything he could, and with the addition of the "tian" character to shield them from the spirit-seeking technique, the number of spirit seeds they had was constantly increasing.
This was an exaggerated number.
There was a knock on the door.
Lu Yin didn't speak, allowing the person outside to enter.
Soon, the door opened and a bearded man entered. He had a rough appearance and scars on his face, but he was extremely respectful to "Lu Yin."
"My Lord, I've got it," the bearded man handed over a cosmic ring.
"Lu Yin" took it and left without saying a word.
The bearded man bowed and waited for Lu Yin to leave before sighing in relief.
Every time he faced this person, he was terrified. He didn't know where this person came from or what his identity was, but he knew that if he didn't do as he was told, he would die.
As for whether or not he would be discovered by Death Hill, that was something to worry about later. He didn't want to die right now.
"Lu Yin" left the city and went to a remote area. He took out this person's brooch and contacted Stargate Shangyu.
Soon, a door appeared in front of him, and he stepped out. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Lu Yin, where he had fought Zhi.
Lu Yin opened his eyes, and across from him, the person named Wangming was awake as well. When he saw Lu Yin, his pupils constricted and his scarlet eyes flashed with killing intent, but Lu Yin quickly suppressed it. Scarlet power spread from the person's body and tried to melt him.
As he melted and died, Lu Yin forcefully extracted some of the scarlet power to replenish his divine force planet belt.
Every time he fused Enhance into someone's body, it consumed power, so he had to replenish it as much as possible.
It was a pity that the Primordial Realm ancestor could've replenished him quite a bit.
"Thank you, Senior." Lu Yin took out the brooch and contacted Stargate Shangyu.
On the Stargate Terrace, Stargate Shangyu praised, "There's such a turbid treasure? It's truly amazing. Why don't you continue to hide it?"
Lu Yin didn't blush and said, "Why should I hide it before Senior?"
In reality, the Eternals had long known about his use of Enhance into someone's body. Yu Sang Tian and the others in the consciousness universe also knew about it, so there was no point in hiding it.
He didn't know whether Stargate Shangyu knew or not, but that didn't stop him from saying it.
Stargate Shangyu smiled, "Is that why you extracted Wangfu's power?
Looks like we can finally get rid of Wangfu. "
Lu Yin wrote down a list, "These are the people who were controlled by that cultivator just now. They would occasionally plunder and wouldn't be discovered, so they thought they could rest easy."
Stargate Shangyu's eyes were cold, "Plundering a cultivator, even if it's just once, is a death sentence. Thank you."
Lu Yin put away his brooch, then, let's continue.
He was not afraid that Mang Mo would know that one of his own had died. Their powers had been cultivated, unless they had Turbid Treasures or completely dispersed their powers. However, the moment they dispersed their powers, Startle Gate Shangyu would be able to sense it.
Shangyu Shangyu couldn't find the whole Wangfu, but once one of them used their power, they would be found and die without a doubt. It was the same fate as when Lu Yin found them.
What awaited them was only death.
Other than the list of plundering cultivators, Lu Yin also told Stargate Shangyu the location where Wangfu had placed the cultivator's spirit.
This was where the person who had just merged with Wangfu had placed it. After a period of time, he would meet up with the rest of Wangfu and hand over the cultivator's spirit. Unfortunately, this person didn't know who had met up with him or where they were.
Lu Yin would look for them one by one. This person was only a Progenitor, and if he was lucky enough, he would be able to merge with a stronger Wangfu cultivator and learn everything.
Wangfu's plundering of cultivators was rarely discovered due to its concealment and the fact that its own cultivators didn't communicate with each other. This ensured Wangfu's safety, and even if it was exposed, it would only be one of them. This also helped Lu Yin, as Lu Yin could eliminate a few Wangfu cultivators without the others knowing.
But he didn't care whether they knew or not, as they couldn't escape.
