However, there was no time to think. The arrow was moving faster and faster, tearing through the void as it surpassed the radiant-grade Aurora. Soon, a spacecraft appeared in front of them that was heading east.
There was no sign on the spacecraft, so Lu Yin had no idea where it had come from.
The arrow suddenly left Lu Yin's control and shot into the spacecraft, never to appear again.
Lu Yin followed it and snuck into the spacecraft, where he saw Peach holding the arrow in surprise. She was locked in a dark cage.
She held the arrow in her hand and looked around, as if she was searching for something.
Lu Yin appeared and beamed at her.
"Your Highness, you're here!" Peach was delighted.
Lu Yin was overjoyed, as Peach had not died. He felt like he had regained something he had lost, and he rubbed her hair forcefully.
Peach felt wronged. "Your Highness, you're hurting me."
"What happened?
Tell me, "Lu Yin said.
Peach handed the arrow to Lu Yin. "Keep it for now."
Lu Yin took it. "This is one of the three arrows, right?"
Peach nodded.
"You're giving it to me just like that?"
Peach replied matter-of-factly, "Isn't it useful now?"
Lu Yin pinched her chin. "You're pretty smart, little girl. You knew that someone would want this arrow, so you left it with me. If anything happens, you'll think of a way to summon it, and you'll naturally be able to bring me here, right?"
Peach was embarrassed and looked at Lu Yin obediently. "Your Highness is so smart. You guessed it right away."
Lu Yin was helpless. "I never thought that I would be tricked by a little girl like you."
Peach walked behind Lu Yin and massaged his shoulders and legs. "Your Highness, I was afraid. Those people from Peking University definitely won't give up, and the Headmaster is always in seclusion. What if something happens?
Your Highness isn't afraid of anything. As long as Your Highness is here, I'll be safe. "
"No need to flatter me. Tell me, what happened on the battlefield?" Lu Yin asked.
Peach stuck out her tongue. "Gong Ke and the others were lured away, and I was captured by an expert from the Ghost Shadow Sword Sect. When I woke up, I was already on this spacecraft. The person guarding me just happened to have something to do and left, so I was able to use my technique to guide the arrow here. Fortunately, we weren't too far away, or else my technique would have been useless."
Lu Yin replied, "Gong Ke and the others have been lured away. Is there an enemy?"
Peach shook her head and solemnly answered, "He's one of the disciples from the Taimo Temple. He's one of the Hunters who came to provide support."
"It looks like someone is colluding with the Temple of Tai Mo, and they want to send you back as a gift. At the same time, the Temple of Tai Mo will hold a grudge against me. What a good plan. With the Temple of Tai Mo and the Dark Phoenix Clan pressuring me at the same time, I'll definitely lose this battle."
"Your Highness is talking about Wei Rong?" Peach asked.
"Who else could it be?" Lu Yin asked indifferently. "However, the experts from the Tai Mo Palace who colluded with him must be thoroughly investigated."
"Is there a need to investigate?
It's Peking University. "Peach rolled her eyes.
"We're sure that it's him, but we need proof," Lu Yin said.
At this moment, his expression changed. "Someone's coming. Keep pretending. I'll hide first."
Peach nodded. There was no point in being saved now. She could only wait until the end to see who she would be given to. Thinking of this, Peach lay down and began to roll.
Outside, someone took a look. Seeing nothing out of the ordinary, he stood guard calmly.
Back at the battlefield in Armament Weave, Lu Yin contacted Liuying Zishan and the others and told them not to start a war.
Although the spacecraft that had transported Peach had no insignia, its journey was unimpeded, and it easily entered the Modor Weave. However, it did not head towards the Temple of Tai Mo. Instead, it headed in a different direction.
Along the way, Lu Yin did not have the opportunity to speak with Peach again. He had originally wanted to contact Gong Ling's headmaster, but he had stopped. Was Peking University really the only one who had coveted Peach's arrow?
Was Gong Ling really that selfless?
Lu Yin did not know, but he did not want to alert the enemy before he was completely sure that Gong Ling was harmless.
Not long after, the spacecraft landed on a desolate planet. Peach was thrown onto the planet, and the spacecraft did not stop. It simply flew into outer space and left.
Lu Yin immediately took action and caused the spacecraft to malfunction.
The planet was too desolate, and if he left the spacecraft, he would be easily discovered. He had to leave the spacecraft behind as well.
Just as the spacecraft was about to leave the atmosphere, it slowly returned to the surface, and the maintenance crew began to repair it.
Suddenly, a tremendous force descended and crushed the spacecraft to pieces. Not a single person inside survived.
Even Lu Yin was blasted into the ground by the force.
High up in the sky, a figure appeared. It was Master Bei.
Master Bei had wanted to wait for the spacecraft to leave before showing himself, but the spacecraft had malfunctioned. He could not wait any longer, so he decided to take action and eliminate all witnesses. He did not want anyone to discover what he had done.
He walked to a spot not far from Peach and splashed a drop of water on Peach's face. Peach slowly woke up and rubbed her eyes. She saw Peking University not far away.
"It's you?" Peach's brows rose as she glared at him.
Master Bei clasped his hands behind his back and looked down at her. "Little Peach, we meet again."
Peach was furious. "Why are you here?"
At this point, she looked around. "Where are we?"
Master Bei's expression was calm. "It doesn't matter where this is. In any case, no one can save you. Hand over the arrow, and I can let you die comfortably. Otherwise …"
"Dream on! The headmaster won't let you off! The Great Eastern Alliance won't let you off!" Peach angrily rebuked.
Master Bei sneered. "The Great Eastern Alliance?
They're just a bunch of dogs and chickens. As for the headmaster, his position will be mine sooner or later. Stop dreaming. No one will know that you died here. This place is very far from Armament Weave, and no one will discover you. "
Peach's face paled, and she fearfully asked, "I was clearly on the battlefield. How did I end up here?"
Master Bei grew impatient. "I'm not in the mood to explain things to you. Hand over the arrow, and I'll let you die quickly. Otherwise, you'll regret ever living in this world."
Cough cough.
Underground, Lu Yin coughed twice.
Master Bei was shocked. "Who is it?"
Lu Yin blasted open the surface and shook his head, causing a layer of dust to fall. "Master Bei, you were too heavy-handed. You almost destroyed this planet. I was sent to the planet's core by you."
Master Bei stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. "Why are you here?"
Peach's expression changed, and her originally fearful expression turned into one of mockery. She glanced at Master Bei with disdain and then ran over to Lu Yin to brush away the dust.
"That's enough. You'll get dirty later," Lu Yin said.
Master Bei's eyes narrowed. "Junior, why are you here?"
Lu Yin replied, "Tell me first. How did you get involved with Wei Rong?"
Master Bei was so angry that he started laughing. Star energy suddenly swept out in all directions and spread out from the planet.
Peach was confused. "Has he gone mad, Your Highness?"
Lu Yin solemnly replied, "He's looking for anyone else. Peach, go to outer space."
Peach was worried. "Your Highness, he's not an ordinary Enlighter."
"Don't worry. He's at most comparable to Hugh Phinhas. I'm not even afraid of Hugh Phinhas."
Peach grunted in acknowledgment and then flew into outer space.
"Don't even think about escaping." Master Bei attacked, and the star energy that filled the sky transformed into a large hand that grabbed at Peach. Lu Yin donned his Universal Armor and blocked in front of Peach while releasing star energy from his body.
In terms of star energy, he was confident that he had surpassed the Hunter realm, and even if he could not compare to Master Bei, he wasn't that far off.
Master Bei had not expected Lu Yin to have so much star energy that he could not suppress someone who was three realms above him. This was impossible. Master Bei flipped his palm, and his star energy transformed into an arrow that shot down.
Lu Yin had experienced this scene before. When he had first arrived at Tai Mo Temple, Master Bei had wanted to kill all of them with a single arrow.
Master Bei's arrow was very large.
Lu Yin's gaze turned solemn as he activated his eight lined battle force imprint and equipped his bracers. He punched out, causing the giant arrow to deviate from its course. Lu Yin then took the opportunity to throw Peach into outer space.
Master Bei appeared behind Lu Yin and tapped out with a finger. His fingertip transformed into an arrow that pierced towards the back of Lu Yin's head.
Lu Yin waved his hand and activated the Yu Secret Art. Master Bei's finger deviated, and the arrow pierced through the void. A strong wind blew through the planet, causing it to tremble.
Lu Yin swatted at Master Bei. "Thirty Stacks, Hundredfold Shockwave Palm."
There was a thump, but Master Bei did not move at all. "Junior, you underestimate me too much. How can a disciple of Tai Mo Temple be weak when it comes to forging bows and arrows?" He then slammed a palm into Lu Yin's chest, causing a stifling pressure to descend and send Lu Yin flying.
Lu Yin was not injured. Although the palm's strength had seeped into his body through the cracks in his armor, most of its power had been dispersed. At most, it was equivalent to a peak Hunter's strength, and it could not break through his defenses.
Master Bei's eyes went wide, and he suddenly retrieved a longbow from his cosmic ring along with an arrow. This was a physical arrow, not an illusion of star energy. With Master Bei's status and power, the physical arrow he used was definitely one of the strongest.
The moment Master Bei nocked the arrow, Lu Yin's scalp went numb. An incomparably sharp aura tore through the heavens, and even outer space could not withstand the arrow's tip as it headed straight for Lu Yin.
Although Lu Yin's universal armor had withstood an attack from an energy cannon with a power level of 400,000, it had still cracked in the end. Furthermore, that was an energy cannon, and this was a battle technique. If this arrow struck him, the power that passed through the cracks would be enough to severely injure him.
This arrow was equivalent to the power of Hugh Phinhas' five blazing feathers.
The arrow's sharpness caused even the heavens to tremble.
Lu Yin immediately took out his Super Flash.
The tear grenade detonated.
The blinding light was like a star exploding, illuminating the entire universe.
Each tear grenade had been upgraded twenty-two times, and it was enough to blind a peak Hunter. Even an Enlighter would be affected, and they would be blinded for an instant.
Lu Yin did not flee, as Elder Wu's poison had been tossed out along with the flash grenade.
Although Elder Wu was just an ordinary Enlighter in the Outerverse, his poisons were terrifying. Poisons had nothing to do with one's power level, and if used properly, they could even kill powerhouses who were far stronger than him.
The flash grenade blinded Master Bei for less than two seconds, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that Lu Yin was still standing in the same spot.
Lu Yin's scalp went numb as an extreme crisis enveloped him. The sound of metal clashing accompanied the arrow, and he subconsciously activated the Yu Secret Art. The void in front of him ruptured as the tip of the arrow shot out. The moment it was about to pierce Lu Yin's body, the Yu Secret Art changed its direction. However, the arrow was only slightly deflected, and it still pierced his left abdomen. Coincidentally, it had pierced through a crack in his armor, and the sharp aura entered his body through the crack.
