Before the woman could think any further, a powerful wave swept across the distance, shocking everyone from the Nine Stacks Sect. "What's going on?
Have we been discovered? "
"There really are survivors of the Nine Stacks Sect. How dare they come back? They're courting death!" an ugly middle-aged man shouted from the sky. He opened his mouth, and his voice transformed into a whistling sound that swept across the land.
Tianming was grabbed by the woman and quickly retreated. Another Hunter from the Nine Stacks Sect soared into the sky and fought the Hunter from the Dire Barbarian Clan. The remaining cultivators from the Nine Stacks Sect were surrounded by the Dire Barbarian Clan, and another great battle broke out.
Kayze was among the Dire Barbarian Clan members. After the battle on Planet Pyrolyte, Avery had returned to the Innerverse, but Kayze had remained behind. His innate gift was very useful.
Kayze also noticed Tianming and the female Hunter in the distance, and he found it strange that she had not made a move.
"Where's Lu Yin?
When is he coming out? "the female Hunter asked.
Tianming stared at the sky, watching the battle between the Hunters.
Only one Hunter from the Dire Barbarian Clan had come, and even though he was stronger than the male Hunter from the Nine Stacks Sect, he still could not take down the Hunter.
The Hunter from the Nine Stacks Sect had been suppressed the entire time, and when he saw that the woman was not making a move, he shouted, "Lan Wu, what are you looking at?
Attack! "
Lan Wu looked at Tianming anxiously.
Suddenly, the meteorite trembled, and an indescribable stifling pressure swept over them. This was the strength of an Enlighter.
Everyone stopped fighting when they sensed this power, and those from the Nine Stacks Sect looked at the sky in shock. Lei Long had appeared at some point.
The cultivators from the Nine Stacks Sect felt their hearts sink. It was over.
The male Hunter looked at Tianming, as he wanted to know why the Enlighter that Tianming had mentioned had not yet arrived.
When Tianming saw Lei Long appear, he relaxed.
Lan Wu stared at Tianming. If Lu Yin did not appear, then they would all be dead.
Lei Long looked down arrogantly. "There really are people who don't know what's good for them." He then raised his hand. To him, killing these people was too easy. The first to bear the brunt of his attack was the male Hunter, who was pierced through by Lei Long's voice. His corpse fell to the ground, and the shockwaves from the attack instantly killed more than ten cultivators from the Nine Stacks Sect.
Suddenly, someone shouted from below, "The Nine Stacks Sect requests assistance from the Great Yu Empire."
Lei Long looked in the direction of the voice, which had come from Tianming. After he finished speaking, the void in front of Lei Long tore open, and two figures walked out. One of them was Northline Flowzone's Enlighter, Granny Chan. The other was Lu Yin, who was wearing universal armor.
When he saw Granny Chan and Lu Yin appear, Lei Long's expression darkened.
The surviving members of the Nine Stacks Sect heaved a sigh of relief, as an Enlighter had truly appeared.
Lan Wu was shocked. She had assumed that Lu Yin would be the only one who had appeared, and she had never expected that there would be another Enlighter. It was no wonder why Lu Yin had been able to kill Karthika, as that Enlighter must have contributed to his victory.
"Granny Chan, why have you come to Grandtop Weave?" Lei Long asked as he stared at Granny Chan. His gaze swept over Lu Yin, and a trace of fear flashed through his eyes.
Grandtop Weave and Frostwave Weave bordered each other, and he had long since wanted to make a move against Frostwave Weave. However, ever since he had learned that Lu Yin had killed Karthika, he had not made a move. Karthika's power level surpassed his own, and even if Lu Yin was just a Limiteer, Lei Long did not dare to underestimate him.
Granny Chan did not speak, as she was only there to serve as a foil to intimidate Lei Long. Lu Yin was the one who truly made the decision.
Lu Yin's eyes were filled with star energy as he stared at Lei Long. After a while, he relaxed. This person's rune lines surpassed Karthika's own, but they were lower than Karthika's tamed beast.
"Senior Lei Long, may I know how the Nine Stacks Sect has offended you to the point that you're so angry that you've annihilated the entire sect and caused rivers of blood to flow?" Lu Yin asked.
Lei Long's brows rose. "Junior, it's not your place to interfere with my matters. Don't think that you can stand shoulder to shoulder with me just because you killed Karthika. Don't think that I don't know that you relied on an external object to kill Karthika. That should have been the Sea King's power, right? How many times can you use that power?"
Lu Yin raised his head. "That's right. I don't have the qualifications to stand shoulder to shoulder with you. However, you're an Innerverse powerhouse, and you've publicly annihilated an Outerverse power. I'm worried that your next target might be the Great Yu Empire. I've heard that you do have such a plan."
Lei Long sneered. "So what if I do? Scram, I don't have time to waste with you." He then looked at Granny Chan. "My Dire Barbarian Clan has never interacted with your Northline Flowzone, so I hope that you won't provoke me. Even if the Innerverse and Outerverse are separated, it will be restored one day. When that time comes, will Northline Flowzone be able to withstand my Dire Barbarian Clan's fury?"
Granny Chan slowly replied, "I'm here because I hope that Brother Lei will give me some face and not touch Frostwave Weave."
Lei Long's eyes narrowed as he looked at Lu Yin. "Kid, you've got quite the reputation."
Lu Yin smiled. "Senior Lei, I don't dare to interfere with your matters. Senior Granny Chan isn't provoking you for no reason, and I don't want to become your enemy. How about we make a deal?"
Lei Long's eyes flashed. "What kind of deal?"
"I have a relationship with the Nine Stacks Sect, and I can't just watch them be annihilated. I'm willing to use a power vessel in exchange for the safety of these people. Please allow me to take them away," Lu Yin said.
Lei Long and Granny Chan looked at Lu Yin in shock. A power vessel was not something that an ordinary person could obtain. Every power vessel had its own independent power, just like Ze Lin's dagger. If used properly, it could turn the tide of a battle.
There were very few power vessels in the universe, and even Enlighters like them were unable to obtain one.
"You have a power vessel?" Lei Long was astonished.
Lu Yin nodded. "It's just a small toy that won't be of much use to you, Senior. However, you can give it to a junior as it can be considered a life-saving item."
Lei Long stared at Lu Yin, as this made sense. If a power vessel was useful to Lu Yin, then Lei Long did not believe that Lu Yin would be willing to exchange it for the trash below. However, even if it was useless to Lei Long, he could still study it.
He did not doubt that Lu Yin had a power vessel. This person even had a supreme treasure like Fatesand, so it would not be strange for him to have a power vessel as well.
"Alright, I'll make the decision to spare their lives," Lei Long said.
Lu Yin pointed at the Nine Stacks Sect's headquarters. "Senior, I don't just want to exchange for their lives. I also hope that Senior will return the Nine Stacks Sect's headquarters. That's why I'm here."
Lei Long's gaze turned cold. "Kid, don't push your luck. I'm already being generous by sparing their lives. I won't touch your Frostwave Weave either, but don't test my patience again."
Granny Chan looked at Lu Yin. "Quit while you're ahead. Don't worry, he won't touch Frostwave Weave again."
Lu Yin was helpless. "Alright, thank you, Senior." He then took out a box from his cosmic ring and tossed it to Lei Long.
After all that had been said, even though Lei Long still had his guard up, he had relaxed quite a bit. Furthermore, he did not believe that Lu Yin could kill him with an unmanned weapon, and the box did not give off any dangerous aura. Every Enlighter had their own judgment of danger, so he opened the box and saw Progenitor Wushang's hide. Then, his mind buzzed, and he fainted.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. This was the moment! He pulled out his gun and aimed at Lei Long.
Bang!
The void trembled, and in the next moment, blood spurted out from Lei Long's heart. Half of his body was pulverized, and the intense pain woke him up. However, it was quickly followed by powerlessness as half of his body was gone, and fresh blood dripped onto the ground.
He stared at the mangled flesh around his heart in disbelief, and the box fell from his hand.
This unforeseen event shocked everyone, including Granny Chan.
No one had expected Lu Yin to directly attack and severely injure Lei Long.
Lei Long's eyes were filled with resentment as he glared at Lu Yin. He growled and charged forward. "Despicable!" He would definitely die, but even if he died, he would drag this person down with him.
Lu Yin retreated a few steps, allowing Granny Chan to pass. She was still in shock, and when she saw Lei Long's attack, she subconsciously blocked it and easily extinguished Lei Long's last trace of life.
Lei Long's corpse crashed to the ground, shocking everyone.
Lu Yin landed and put away the box. He then took out Lei Long's cosmic ring and some of his blood. He would open it when he returned.
He then looked up at Granny Chan and bowed. "Thank you for your help, Senior."
Everyone was silent, and the members of the Dire Barbarian Clan looked at Lu Yin in fear. This person had killed their Enlighter.
The people from the Nine Stacks Sect were similarly shocked. Were Enlighters that easy to kill?
Lan Wu gulped, and she looked at Lu Yin with unprecedented fear. He was the only person in the Outerverse who had killed an Enlighter while chatting.
Granny Chan stood high up in the sky and stared at Lu Yin. This person made her heart turn cold. She slowly descended and faced Lu Yin. "You never planned on letting Lei Long off from the start, did you?"
Lu Yin sighed. "Senior, how can I allow others to sleep on my bed? You know the Dire Barbarian Clan's nature. If I didn't kill Lei Long, he would have killed me sooner or later. I just made the first move to gain the upper hand."
Granny Chan looked at Lu Yin with a complicated expression and did not speak for a long time.
Even in the Innerverse, Enlighters were not easily killed, but this person had already killed two. Granny Chan had never even killed an Enlighter in her entire life. In comparison, this person was too terrifying.
Granny Chan looked at Lu Yin and suddenly had a premonition that the Innerverse and Outerverse had been separated, and a monster had been released.
Lu Yin looked past Granny Chan to Tianming, and then at Lan Wu, who was beside Tianming. He understood and waved his hand. "Destroy the Dire Barbarian Clan."
When Lan Wu heard Lu Yin's command, she did not hesitate and immediately attacked the Dire Barbarian Clan members.
The other cultivators from the Nine Stacks Sect also attacked at the same time. The situation had reversed.
The Hunter from the Dire Barbarian Clan saw that the situation had taken a turn for the worse and immediately fled.
"Senior, please help me keep that person here," Lu Yin said respectfully to Granny Chan.
Granny Chan did not refuse, and she did not know why she did not refuse. Her heart was filled with boundless fear of Lu Yin, and this fear turned into motivation to help Lu Yin. She subconsciously did not want to become enemies with this young man.
The Hunter from the Dire Barbarian Clan had also died.
All of the Dire Barbarian Clan members had died, and only one person had been left behind by Lu Yin: Kayze.
