We're both from Earth, and he volunteered to save you when you were in trouble. "Lu Yin smiled.
Bai Xue's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
Zi Rong's heart sank, and he suddenly attacked, slashing his blade at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, and he waved his left hand, causing a terrifying shockwave to sweep out and push Zi Rong back.
"Everyone, who is she? Listen to her!" Lu Yin shouted.
Zi Rong grew anxious. "Xue 'er, come here! Don't listen to his nonsense."
Everyone looked at Bai Xue. They weren't stupid, and they could tell that something was different. Lu Yin wasn't an idiot, and his words were strange as well.
Bai Xue opened her eyes, and for the first time, her emotions changed. She was furious. "Zi Rong, you saved my life, but you also sacrificed the lives of my friends and family to force me to change my name, cultivate, and marry someone of a lower status. Today, I, Bai Xue, will officially tell you that I've repaid the favor I owe you. From now on, we don't owe each other anything."
Zi Rong felt dizzy, and his vision went white.
Everyone was in an uproar, and they all looked at Zi Rong with disdain. They hadn't expected this person to be so despicable.
Zi Tianchuan was also shocked, as he hadn't known about this.
Zi Xianxian looked at Zi Rong in disbelief, as her second brother wasn't that kind of person.
The Zi family's public image had always been good. On the surface, they were the largest trading company in the Outerverse, but in reality, they sold information. However, they didn't casually leak information, and they were very principled. Many great powers in the Outerverse were willing to befriend them.
Of the three siblings of the Zi family, Zi Rong was the one that everyone admired the most. He had a forthright personality and exceptional talent. He had even been a councilor of West San Dios, and although he was a Hunter, he was still able to attract the attention of Enlighters. He didn't participate in any of the Amethyst Trading Company's affairs, and in many people's eyes, he was the future foundation of the Zi family, one that was still growing.
However, no one had expected such a person to do such a despicable thing.
"Nonsense! My second brother isn't that kind of person!" Zi Xianxian was enraged, and she glared at Lu Yin. "Did you force Sister Zixue to say this? Lu Yin, you want to deal with our Zi family, and you want to take our Zi family for yourself, right?"
Zi Tianchuan's face darkened as he stared at Lu Yin.
Many people were suspicious, as Lu Yin's actions, Lu Yin's actions were reckless, and he had never concealed his desires.
Lu Yin laughed. "Do you think I can take over the Zi family?
I'm not that stupid. "
Zi Tianchuan looked at Bai Xue, "Xue 'er, you know very well how I treat you. Don't be bewitched by Lu Yin. Our Zi family has never let you down."
Bai Xue looked at Zi Tianchuan and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, adoptive father, I didn't want to hurt the Zi Clan. You saved me and gave me my life. My debt to Zi Rong is canceled, but I will repay what I owe the Zi Clan."
"What are you going to use to repay me?
You were born as a member of the Zi clan, and you'll die as a ghost of the Zi clan! "roared Zi Rong." Zi clan, attack! Capture them! "
Lu Yin donned his universal armor and faced the many cultivators from the Zi family. Star energy gathered in his right palm as he unleashed a single sun.
The scorching sun exploded, Mister Yi stood in front of Zi Tianchuan and the others, neutralizing the power of the sun.
Zi Rong leaped through the void and slashed at Lu Yin, but Lu Yin waved his hand and deflected the blade. The Yu Secret Art was not something Zi Rong could block, and Lu Yin kicked out. Zi Rong was smashed into the ground like a meteor.
The Zi family and Lu Yin were fighting, and Bai Xue's words were still there. No one could say who was right and who was wrong. Perhaps Lu Yin had bewitched Bai Xue to find a reason to deal with the Zi family, or perhaps Zi Rong had really done so.
Cai Jianqiang didn't want to act either, as he believed that Zi Rong wasn't such a despicable person. However, he also believed that Lu Yin wouldn't deal with the Zi family at this time. Even if he did, he would do so at a more appropriate time, such as on the day of the wedding. After all, whether it was now or on the day of the wedding, his actions had already made him an enemy of the Zi family.
Deep in his heart, Cai Jianqiang didn't want to make an enemy out of Lu Yin, as he felt that he owed him something.
"Don't protect me, go deal with Lu Yin," Zi Tianchuan said to Mister Yi.
Mister Yi gritted his teeth and leaped out to attack Lu Yin.
Lu Yin put on his bracers and punched out. His strength was doubled, and he broke through the void. A terrifying force swept out, focusing on Mister Yi.
Even Zephyr had been forced back by a single punch, let alone Mister Yi. He couldn't withstand the enormous force and was sent flying.
The shockwaves swept through the sky and into the universe, even destroying many spacecraft that were parked in space.
Planet Tianmao trembled.
The might of Lu Yin's punch had caused everyone to stop, and they didn't dare to attack again.
Zi Tianchuan clenched his fists, thinking about something.
Below, Zi Rong walked out, and he seemed to be in a strange state. He seemed to be suppressing something.
However, when Lu Yin's gaze landed on him, he saw Bai Xue in Lu Yin's arms. An indescribable evil aura erupted from him, and he roared at the sky in an inhuman voice. His eyes became deathly still, and his pupils turned grey. This was the Grey Eyes Transformation.
An indescribable chill swept through Planet Tianmao, and everyone felt their scalps go numb. Something terrifying had appeared.
Above the Zi family's ancestral mansion, Zi Tianchuan and the rest stared at Zi Rong in disbelief. Zi Rong had actually used the Grey Eyes Transformation. Most people in the Outerverse didn't know what it was, but many of the people who had been invited by the Zi family recognized it.
"That's the Neohuman Alliance's battle technique, Corpse King Transformation. The Zi family's second young master is from the Neohuman Alliance."
"It's actually the Grey Eyes Transformation! He's a great enemy of humanity!"
"The Zi family is finished."
…
Countless cries of alarm rang out, and the onlookers' expressions changed.
Even Lu Yin was shocked; he hadn't expected Zi Rong to have trained in the Grey Pupil Transformation. Corpse King Transformation was an ultimate battle technique that only Corpse Kings could train in. Zi Rong was clearly a living person, but he could still train in it.
"Second Brother …" Zi Xianxian covered her mouth, her eyes red and her face pale.
Zi Fang, who had been gloating, felt his entire body go numb, and he almost went limp. Once anyone was involved with the Neohuman Alliance, it was no longer a personal matter, but rather an entire clan. The Neohuman Alliance was the greatest enemy of the entire human race, and if the Zi family was in trouble, the Hall of Honor would not let them off.
Cai Jianqiang was shocked; why was Zi Rong acting like this?
Zi Rong had gone completely insane, and he only had eyes for Bai Xue. If he wanted to steal her away, no one would be able to stop him. He had been waiting for this day for a very long time. Ever since he had discovered that Bai Xue's innate gift of azure ice could fuse with spiritual force, he had been thinking of ways to gather spiritual force for her and force her to cultivate. He had been waiting for this day, and he had his own goals. He needed to absorb the spiritual force in order to transcend and break free from his control.
With a bang, Zi Rong rushed towards Bai Xue and grabbed out with one hand. His entire body had transformed; the Grey Eyes Transformation could strengthen his physical body by ten times. At this moment, he was even more difficult to deal with than Mister Yi.
Lu Yin retreated with Bai Xue in his arms, but Cai Jianqiang appeared in front of him and struck out with a palm to meet Zi Rong's.
With a bang, a shockwave surged into the clouds and tore through the sky. The two retreated at the same time.
"Zi Rong, wake up!" Cai Jianqiang shouted angrily. He didn't have many friends, and Zi Rong was one of them. Now that Zi Rong had become like this, Cai Jianqiang couldn't help but take action.
Zi Rong roared, "Get out of my way! Bai Xue is mine!" After using his Corpse King Transformation, he couldn't even speak properly. He rushed forward again and attacked without thinking.
Cai Jianqiang sighed and blocked Zi Rong by himself. No matter how Zi Rong attacked, Cai Jianqiang remained unmoved.
Lu Yin raised his brows; Cai Jianqiang's strength had improved extremely quickly as well. As expected of someone who could force others of the same generation to bow their heads, the stronger he became.
The members of the Zi family stood in place in confusion, not knowing what to do.
Zi Tianchuan looked at the intense battle in the sky and gritted his teeth. "Zi Rong has sided with the Neohuman Alliance and betrayed the Zi family and humanity. He has committed a heinous crime and belongs to the Zi family. Capture him. If he resists, kill him without mercy."
Zi Xianxian was shocked, and she hurriedly grabbed onto her father's arm. "Father, don't! Second Brother definitely didn't do this willingly. There must be a misunderstanding."
Zi Tianchuan didn't want this to happen either, but for the sake of the bigger picture, he could only give the order. He shook Zi Xianxian off and said, "Attack!"
Many of the Zi family's cultivators attacked Zi Rong together.
Zi Rong roared and attacked mercilessly, killing many of the Zi family's members in an instant. Mister Yi had no choice but to step in and cooperate with Cai Jianqiang. It didn't take long for Zi Rong to fall to the ground, but Zi Rong stood up again.
His physical body was ten times stronger than before, and with his willpower from cultivating the Thousand Army Slash, he wouldn't be defeated so easily unless he was dead.
Just as Cai Jianqiang and Mister Yi were about to continue attacking, Zi Rong suddenly stopped in midair and spat out a mouthful of blood. His entire body trembled, and his face contorted. He howled in anguish as his heart exploded. His eyes lost their luster and returned to human eyes, but they had lost all signs of life. His body slowly fell to the ground.
The scene fell silent.
Lu Yin looked at Zi Rong. He was already dead, and his rune lines no longer existed. He was clearly so powerful, but his heart couldn't take it?
There was definitely something wrong with a living person cultivating the Corpse King Transformation.
To the side, Bai Xue was sorrowful. No matter what, Zi Rong really did like her, and he hadn't planned on killing her. He had even saved her. This debt wasn't something that could be settled so easily.
Zi Xianxian mourned, "Second Brother."
Zi Fang closed his eyes. No matter what their relationship had been, blood was thicker than water, and Zi Rong's death was hard for him to accept.
Zi Tianchuan's body trembled, and he clenched his fists tightly. He looked up at Lu Yin with a gaze that could eat him alive.
Lu Yin met Zi Tianchuan's gaze and frowned. He had become the Zi family's mortal enemy today. He had thought that he would become Aegis's mortal enemy, but now that he had become Aegis's master, he had helped the Zi family become his mortal enemy. Life was truly mysterious, and no one knew what would happen in the future.
With Zi Rong dead, the wedding was naturally over. If nothing unexpected happened, the Hall of Honor would be involved in the investigation, and the entire Zi family would face disintegration. If this wasn't handled properly, they would be destroyed like Darkstar Gorge.
Lu Yin was chased away by Zi Tianchuan, and Zi Xianxian looked at him as if he was an enemy.
Lu Yin didn't regret his decision. He had to save Bai Xue; this was his principle.
The others were politely sent away by the Zi family, and Planet Tianmao was sealed off.
