Even though Lu Yin's power level had been suppressed to below 200,000, when an Enlighter got serious, the strength that he could display was enough to make Lu Yin apprehensive.
Anyone who could cultivate to the Enlighter realm was not simple, and this old man was not easy to deal with. He had even used the Yu Secret Art, the Nine Yang Cauldron Transformation, and the Daynight Punch, but he still could not easily defeat the old man.
Lu Yin was apprehensive, but the elder was even more vigilant. He could tell that this person had the strength of a triple cycle Explorer, but he still had the ability to exchange blows with the elder. There weren't many people in the entire Fifth Mainland who could match up to him, and each one of them was extremely famous. Every one of them was someone who the Sixth Mainland wanted to kill. This person had the strength of a King-Ranked Realm cultivator, and although he could not compare to a Realmling, he was not too far off. What's more, this person actually possessed a secret technique.
A secret technique that could turn something rotten into something miraculous was something that not even an Imprinter could possess, let alone an Enlighter.
In the sky, Granny Sly stared at Lu Yin with a fervent gaze. This kid actually had a secret technique, and she had to get it.
Outside the mine, Hong Ying struggled to get to her feet and shook her head. She had just been knocked unconscious by a single punch and had only just regained consciousness. She looked at the old man in front of her and Lu Yin as they exchanged glances. With a wave of her hand, a spear appeared in her hand, and she pointed it at Lu Yin. "Who are you?"
Lu Yin's head hurt, as this was truly troublesome. The old man in front of him was too cautious, and a cautious Enlighter was very frightening. Lu Yin would rather not have the celestial phenomenon that suppressed his power level than use external items. The universal armor, the bracers, and the Yu Secret Art would have been more than enough to eliminate this old man. But now, Lu Yin realized that the celestial phenomenon that suppressed his power level was actually even more disadvantageous to him.
There was a whoosh as Hong Ying stabbed her spear towards Lu Yin. At the same time, the elder's imprint appeared, and he raised his hand to strike out once more. A dark light flickered within his palm.
Lu Yin hurriedly dodged Hong Ying's attack and grabbed the spear's shaft. Just like before, Overlaid Shockwaves exploded from his palm, forcing Hong Ying to release her grip. Lu Yin viciously stabbed the spear towards the old man.
The old man pressed his palm against the tip of the spear, and the black light shot out from the spear towards Lu Yin. Lu Yin grabbed the spear and smashed it towards Hong Ying.
Hong Ying was shocked, but she did not know what she had done, but her spear tassel had come to life just like the red-tasseled spear from before and blocked the black light. The old man tossed his spear aside and grabbed at Lu Yin. "Surrender, junior."
Lu Yin leapt up and raised his right fist, unleashing another Daynight Punch.
The alternation of black and white produced a shock to her essence, Qi, and spirit. Hong Ying sadly fainted again. She couldn't hold on any longer.
Several of the Hunters nearby had also fainted due to concussions.
The old man clenched his teeth, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He leapt up, his palm completely enveloped by a black light. His martial imprint was activated and illuminated his body. "Junior, die!"
Lu Yin gathered star energy in his right palm, and nearly half of the star energy in his body transformed into a sun. He pressed down with his palm, causing the sun to descend.
The old man's eyes flashed, and he suddenly retreated. At the same time, a sharp edge appeared. It was as if the old man's aura was being pulled, causing Lu Yin to feel a chill run down his spine. He turned around and pushed out a sun, but an arrow suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pierced through the sun. A blinding light illuminated the surroundings, and the sun was immediately shattered.
Someone had launched a sneak attack with an arrow, but Lu Yin barely managed to block the attack as he pushed the arrow away. Behind him, the old man sneered. "Let's see how you block this, kid."
"Old man, there's someone behind you!" Lu Yin shouted as he pointed out.
The old man was shocked. Behind him, the Ghost Monkey appeared from the shadows, and the black shadow transformed into a scythe that slashed towards the old man's head.
The old man shouted, "Scram!" The star energy around him surged, forcing the monkey to retreat.
The monkey was not like Lu Yin, who could challenge those who were a Realmbreaker, and it was impossible for it to even fight against an ordinary Hunter. Its only purpose was to obstruct the old man.
A sliver.
This sliver of time was enough. Lu Yin's Dream Finger froze the void and pointed towards the old man's head.
The old man's pupils shrank, but he could not escape even if he wanted to. The Dream Finger's ability to freeze the void was extremely terrifying, and the old man's best time to dodge had been delayed by the monkey. He could only watch as the finger descended.
Lu Yin's scalp turned numb, and he waved his left hand. A needle appeared in front of him, and he used the Yu Secret Art to transfer it into the mountain. It pierced through the mountain and into the ocean, and the old man took the opportunity to retreat and avoid the Dream Finger.
Lu Yin looked up; the Imprinter had finally made a move.
The old man looked up. "Granny Sly, please give me some time. I can do it."
"Enough. You don't need to do anything." Granny Sly's voice was cold, and her eyes carried a chilling heat as she looked at Lu Yin. Her lips curled up. "Kid, you killed Gui Bing, didn't you?"
Lu Yin looked up and met her gaze. "I've killed too many people, so I forgot."
Granny Sly's eyes narrowed, and a cold glint flashed through them. "It doesn't matter. You just used a secret technique, so hand it over to me. Not only will I not kill you, but I'll even take you in as a disciple and replace Gui Bing. You'll join the Tong family and become a cultivator of the Sixth Mainland. How about that?"
The old man's expression turned ugly when he heard this, as he also wanted to obtain the secret technique.
Everyone from the Sixth Mainland looked at Lu Yin with burning eyes, as everyone wanted to obtain the secret technique.
Even further away, the hundreds of thousands of miners stared blankly at the scene. They had never imagined that there would be such a powerhouse among them.
Lu Yin's lips curled up, and he looked at Granny Sly. "What are the benefits of joining the Sixth Mainland?"
Granny Sly smiled sinisterly. "I'm not negotiating with you. Either you join the Sixth Mainland and become my disciple, or I'll capture you and slowly torture you. I'll let you experience the true terror of the Shadowless Needle, and that will be the thing you'll regret the most in your life."
Lu Yin slowly descended. "You seem to have forgotten something." He then pointed outside the mine. Hong Ying, who should have fainted, was nowhere to be found.
All of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators were shocked, as their attention had been drawn to Lu Yin, and they had actually forgotten about Hong Ying.
Granny Sly's expression changed as well, and her gaze locked onto the mine. "There's someone else."
Lu Yin walked outside the mine and glanced over to see that Hong Ying had been captured by Hai Qiqi.
He had soared into the air to divert everyone's attention, as Hai Qiqi was quite smart.
Granny Sly casually waved her hand, and a boundless amount of rune lines appeared. However, the mountain range was severed, and it crashed into the foot of the mountain with a deafening boom. Hai Qiqi and Hong Ying were revealed from within the mine.
Lu Yin's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly stood in front of the pale Hai Qiqi. He grabbed Hong Ying by the neck and glared at Granny Sly. "If you dare attack again, this woman will be buried with us."
Lu Yin had always overestimated the strength of Imprinters, but he now realized that he had still underestimated them. Their power level had not even reached 100,000, but Lu Yin had not even had the time to react. They were on a completely different level from that elder.
This was an Imprinter, a powerhouse with a power level of over 500,000. Even if they suppressed their power level, Lu Yin still could not fight against them.
He suddenly recalled Master Yuan's words. Imprinters did not use star energy, but rather astral sources.
He did not know if the Ten Arbiters could fight against an Imprinter while suppressing their power level, but he could not.
"Junior, you're too naive if you think that you can leave this place alive by taking hostages."
Granny Sly glowered at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin sneered. "Her name is Hong Ying, and she's a disciple of Madam Red from the Flying Horse Manor. The Flying Horse Manor was invited by the Tong family to participate in the Grayweed Continent's war. Tell me, if Madam Red's disciple died because you didn't save her, what would she think?
What would the other powers of the Grand Martial Realm think?
Would the Tong family be able to invite anyone else in the future?
Use your brain. "
Granny Sly's gaze was fierce.
The expressions of the surrounding cultivators changed, especially the dozen or so Hunters from the Flying Horse Manor. They shouted for Lu Yin to release Hong Ying.
Lu Yin did not care, and he only looked at Granny Sly.
He knew how important this woman was. The Red Tasseled Spear had clearly been destroyed, but now there was another one. Her name was similar to Madam Red's, so only a fool would believe that she was not important. This woman was definitely important to the Flying Horse Manor, and she was no less important than Autumnfrost Qing was to the Autumnfrost family.
"She's awake!" Hai Qiqi cried out.
Lu Yin tightened his grip, and Hong Ying coughed twice before opening her eyes. She saw Lu Yin right in front of her, and she could feel his tight grip on her neck. Her face paled. "You dare to kidnap me?"
"Shut up. If you don't want to die, then ask for help," Lu Yin growled.
Hong Ying gritted her teeth and glared at Lu Yin, but she did not say anything.
Lu Yin felt a headache coming on, as a genius like her was not someone who was afraid of death. He looked up at Granny Sly. "Old woman, don't get any ideas. Be careful that this woman doesn't die with you."
Granny Sly's gaze was fierce, but after a while, her expression suddenly relaxed. She gently said, "Junior, I want to take you in as a disciple, and I have no intention of making things difficult for you. Don't be stubborn. The Fifth Mainland's cultivation system will be destroyed sooner or later, and no one will be able to stop that. Join my Sixth Mainland and become a disciple of the Tong family. I'll give you a bright future, and with your talent, you might even be able to marry into the Tong family in the future."
Lu Yin sneered, and he suddenly waved his hand. He leaned to the side and changed the direction of the needle, which then shot into the ground.
Hai Qiqi was shocked, and she looked to her side. That needle had come from that direction, and it had almost pierced through her.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, and he suddenly exerted force and slapped Hong Ying's abdomen, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood. Lu Yin glared at Granny Sly. "I told you not to play games with me. Secret techniques are not something you can understand."
The surrounding Hunters from the Galloping Horse Villa all shouted angrily, but there was nothing they could do. Some contacted the Galloping Horse Villa while others hurriedly said something to Granny Sly.
Granny Sly panted heavily, as she had never been threatened in such a manner before.
Lu Yin was also afraid. Fortunately, he had his rune lines, or else he would not have been able to sense this old woman's sneak attack. It had been too dangerous.
Hong Ying spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at Lu Yin. "You won't be able to escape. Don't even think about it. I'd rather die than let you succeed."
Lu Yin pinched her chin and moved closer to her with a sinister smile. "Die?
Why don't you try? As long as you dare to die, I'll strip you naked and show everyone the body of a direct descendant of the Galloping Horse Villa. "
Hong Ying's eyes narrowed. "You dare?"
Hai Qiqi's mouth fell open, and she stared at Lu Yin in a daze. This person was too evil.
Quite a few people heard this, and they all roared in anger.
Granny Sly was stunned as well. If Lu Yin really did do that, then the outcome would be even worse than Hong Ying's death. She would definitely be skinned alive by Madam Hong. "Junior, don't be rash."
Lu Yin did not want to do this either, but he had no choice if he wanted to preserve his own life. He ignored Hong Ying's pale face and looked up at Granny Sly. "Old woman, have you thought it through?
You're not going to play any more tricks? "
