At that moment, Hai Qiqi arrived. She hadn't been too far away from Lu Yin, and when she saw him staring at Zhuo Daynight, she hurriedly said, "What are you daydreaming about? Let's go! Someone's coming after us."
Lu Yin grabbed Hai Qiqi and carried Zhuo Daynight before charging into the sky and flying off into the distance.
Many people wanted to chase after them, but they couldn't because Lu Yin was too fast.
"Even if he can't defeat Ling Que, with his innate gift of being able to catch the Que's Mighty Slash and his speed, he's definitely one of the top Limiteers," someone exclaimed.
No one objected, as this was the strength that Lu Yin had displayed.
Back at Pyrolyte Lake, Ling Que had killed many people from the Daynight clan, severely injured Zhanlong Daynight, and almost killed Nightqueen Yanqing. The Daynight clan didn't dare to stay any longer, so they had no choice but to retreat from Pyrolyte Lake. Pyrolyte Lake was now officially occupied by the Wen family.
This battle had fully demonstrated the terror of an unparalleled powerhouse. Just like how Mu Rong had helped the Sword Sect occupy Pyrolyte Mountain, Pyrolyte Lake was now occupied by Ling Que alone. Any one of the four unparalleled Limiteers could only be stopped by the other three.
Of the four, no one could stop Lu Yin. This was what everyone thought, but unfortunately, Lu Yin hadn't come.
Everyone retreated from Pyrolyte Lake and waited for the Wen family to arrive.
Zhanlong Daynight crawled up. He had been severely injured by Ling Que, but his injuries had healed in an extremely short amount of time. This caused many to call him a freak, and even Ling Que was surprised. Zhanlong Daynight's recovery ability was much stronger than his own.
North of Pyrolyte Lake, Lu Yin grabbed Hai Qiqi and Zhuo Daynight and quickly left. He didn't know where to go, but he wanted to find a place to settle down.
He looked down at Zhuo Daynight and saw that the wound between her eyebrows was gradually healing. Lu Yin was shocked; could it really be healed?
This was inconceivable, as this was a fatal injury.
Hai Qiqi cried out, "She's not dead?"
Lu Yin looked up in front of him. With his current speed, even Ling Que couldn't catch up to him. He had been running for half a day, so he should be quite a distance away from Pyrolyte Lake.
If he didn't use his current speed, he would need a few days to cover this distance. In other words, if he had headed northeast, he would have reached Pyrolyte Mountain.
"Eh, this place looks very familiar." Hai Qiqi was surprised.
Lu Yin looked at the mountain range in front of him, and his eyes flashed. This was the mountain range that many cultivators had fought over when they had first landed here. In the end, Lu Yin had snatched it and gifted it to the Northline Flowzone, but he had never thought that he would end up back here. This mountain range was directly north of Pyrolyte Lake, which meant that this mountain range, Pyrolyte Mountain, and Pyrolyte Lake formed a triangle.
He didn't think too much about it, but he felt that the Zhuo Daynight in his arms had become a little strange. How should he put it? From the very beginning, Zhuo Daynight had given him a very unreal feeling. There was an illusory feeling of confusion. It was as if he wasn't hugging Zhuo Daynight, but Zhuo Daynight was in his embrace.
Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi returned to the mountain range, and under the puzzled gazes of Northgate Gang and the others, they blasted a hole in the ground. Lu Yin hurriedly put Zhuo Daynight down and looked at her in amazement. At this moment, Zhuo Daynight's hair had changed color. It had turned a greyish silver, and her entire body was enveloped in a layer of white light.
The white light was gentle, but it was ancient and full of vicissitudes, as if it had transcended countless years.
What was going on?
What was the use of the white fruit?
Wasn't that supposed to be used for healing?
Hai Qiqi also looked at Zhuo Daynight in shock, and her face was filled with confusion.
"Seventh Bro, she's glowing," the monkey muttered.
Lu Yin pulled Hai Qiqi out of the hole. "Go play by yourself. You're not allowed to leave this mountain range."
Hai Qiqi was dissatisfied, but she didn't argue with Lu Yin. She knew that he was in a bad mood, and she guessed that the woman might be someone that Lu Yin liked.
Lu Yin could only leave Zhuo Daynight's situation to the heavens. "If you still die this time, then I'll have that woman, Nightqueen Yanqing, accompany you."
This mountain range was occupied by the Northline Flowzone, so there weren't many outsiders here. Northgate Gang and the others didn't disturb Lu Yin either.
Hai Qiqi wandered around the mountain range for a while before returning with a bitter expression. Planet Pyrolyte's geology was unique. It was dry, and there weren't many plants or animals. Rather than calling it a mountain range, it would be more accurate to call it a mound. There wasn't anything special about it.
She only hoped that she could leave, but if Lu Yin didn't agree, she couldn't leave.
Sometimes, Lu Yin was curious about what the Sea King had said to Hai Qiqi that made her follow him closely.
Not long after, Pyrolyte Lake was confirmed to be occupied by the Wen family. Wen Qian'er and the others had played hide-and-seek with the Daynight clan before Ling Que had arrived at Pyrolyte Lake. One party searched while the other hid. Now that the Daynight clan had been defeated, they were finally able to reach Pyrolyte Lake.
Wen Qian'er felt very apologetic towards Ling Que, as they hadn't done anything at all. However, Ling Que didn't mind. His mind was filled with the scene of that person clamping down on his Que's Mighty Slash. Had that person really relied on an innate gift?
Ling Que looked to the north and really wanted to find that person, but he didn't know where that person was. That person was also extremely fast, and Ling Que might not be able to catch up.
Ling Que couldn't stop worrying about someone who could clamp down on his Que's Mighty Slash. He suddenly thought of Lu Yin. It couldn't be him, right?
But then, he shook his head. That shouldn't be the case, as Lu Yin hadn't displayed any innate gifts. Ling Que had also asked around about Lu Yin, but he hadn't heard of any innate gifts that could clamp down on his Que's Mighty Slash. As for Lu Yin's physical strength, Ling Que shook his head again.
That shouldn't be possible. He was very clear about the power of Que's Mighty Slash. Lu Yin could dodge or block it, but he definitely wouldn't be able to clamp down on it with two fingers. If he could do that, then his battle with Mu Rong wouldn't have been so difficult, and he wouldn't have been injured by Que's Mighty Slash a second time.
Suddenly, Ling Que recalled the final moment of Lu Yin's battle with Mu Rong, when the farmer boy's song had played. Ling Que hadn't been able to experience that strength because he had been too far away, but he knew that it was terrifying. Could that strength have clamped down on his Que's Mighty Slash?
Ling Que was at a loss.
Right now, he wanted to find Mu Rong and confirm Lu Yin's explosive strength. If that person could clamp down on his Que's Mighty Slash, then that person would definitely be Lu Yin. His injuries from the Que's Mighty Slash had been an act, but if he couldn't, then that meant that a strange powerhouse had appeared on Planet Pyrolyte.
Atop the mountain range, Lu Yin had been waiting beside the cave for a few days now. Over the past few days, the cultivators from the Northline Flowzone had encountered something strange. When they closed their eyes to rest, they would see a vast expanse of whiteness.
Planet Pyrolyte's main body was dark red, and there was no white to be seen. However, the cultivators were still able to see white when they were resting, which was very strange.
Northgate Gang saw it as well, and everyone was bewildered. It was as if they had seen a ghost.
Hai Qiqi saw it as well, and she approached Lu Yin fearfully.
Actually, Lu Yin had seen it as well. Not only had he seen it, but he also knew the cause. This white light was exactly the same as the white light that covered Zhuo Daynight's body.
He looked at the cave in astonishment. What had happened to Zhuo Daynight that could affect everyone?
"Monkey, you really don't know?" Lu Yin asked.
The monkey was helpless. "Seventh Bro, I'm just a Limiteer who's been cultivating for twenty years. How could I possibly know everything? Even if you ask those almighty Enlighters, they might not know the answer."
Two more days passed, and Zhuo Daynight was still emitting the same white light within the cave. The wound on her forehead that had been pierced by the Que's Mighty Slash had already healed, but there was still a vertical scar left behind. It was inconspicuous, but anyone could see it. Her silver-grey hair fluttered in the wind, and she exuded a gentle aura.
Over the past two days, not only had everyone seen white when they closed their eyes, but they had also seen white when they opened their eyes. This caused Northgate Gang and the others to panic, as they felt as if they were being watched by something. Northgate Gang had specifically sought out Lu Yin to investigate the matter, but Lu Yin had a confused expression on his face.
Finally, after three days, the crowd no longer saw the white light, which allowed them to relax. However, over the past few days, the Northline Flowzone cultivators had become much more haggard.
Even Hai Qiqi's face had turned pale.
Within the cave, the white light around Zhuo Daynight's body had disappeared, and her silver-grey hair had turned back to a blackish-white color. She looked exactly the same as before, and she had returned to her original appearance.
Lu Yin walked into the cave and stared at Zhuo Daynight. He crouched down and carefully examined her. She was still breathing, so she wasn't dead.
Zhuo Daynight suddenly opened her eyes and met Lu Yin's gaze. Her eyes were filled with surprise, confusion, and finally gratitude and complex emotions. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Lu Yin replied.
"Why did you come to Planet Pyrolyte?"
Zhuo Daynight straightened her back, and her gaze returned to normal. She looked at Lu Yin, but there was no joy in her eyes.
Lu Yin raised his brows. "You know who I am?"
Zhuo Daynight looked at him. "Shouldn't I know?"
"How did you know?" Lu Yin was puzzled, as he had obviously disguised himself.
Zhuo Daynight did not answer. She merely touched the scar on her forehead and fell silent.
Lu Yin thought that she was concerned about her appearance, so he comforted her. "Don't worry, this kind of scar is easy to remove."
Zhuo Daynight replied, "There's no need to remove it. Just keep it."
Lu Yin did not say anything else. He stood up and stretched out his hand. Zhuo Daynight did not hesitate and reached out as well. She grasped his right hand and allowed him to pull her up.
"I thought I was dead for sure. What did you feed me?" Zhuo Daynight asked curiously.
Lu Yin shrugged. "I obtained a type of fruit during lockbreaking. My mentor said that it had a lot of life force, so I tried it. I didn't think that it would actually save you."
Zhuo Daynight looked at Lu Yin with a complicated expression. "Why did you save me?"
Lu Yin was stunned. Yes, why?
He did not know either. All he knew was that he had come to Planet Pyrolyte when Zhuo Daynight had been in a life-or-death situation. First, it was for Zhuo Daynight, and second, it was to find Zhanlong Daynight to understand the situation on Shenwu Continent. No, the main reason was because of Ming Yan. Strange, why was it all for women?
When Lu Yin did not answer, Zhuo Daynight lowered her head. "I owe you my life, and I owe you a huge favor."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "A favor?"
Zhuo Daynight looked at Lu Yin seriously, and a strange expression appeared in her eyes. "At the critical moment, I comprehended a battle technique."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "Is it related to your hair color?"
Zhuo Daynight looked at her black and white hair and nodded. "The battle technique is called Night's End, Daybreak."
Lu Yin did not understand.
However, the monkey suddenly exclaimed, "Night's End, Daybreak? Isn't that a battle technique that shocked an entire era in ancient times?"
Lu Yin was shocked. It had shocked an entire era.
"Night's End, Daybreak is an inherited battle technique of my Daynight clan's Dayking. It's a pity that no one else comprehended it after the Dayking passed away. I never thought that I would be the one to comprehend it at the critical moment," Zhuo Daynight said with a complicated expression.
