Chapter 1548: The Truth That Kui Luo Knows

Lu Yin gritted his teeth. "Get me back to the Fifth Mainland and I’ll tell you."

"We can't go back there, we’re going to die here for sure!" the old man shouted.

"You’re Kui Luo, aren’t you?" Lu Yin shouted.

The old man did not deny it.

"Then say something and get them to kill each other," Lu Yin suggested.

The old man rolled his eyes, but he still turned his head as a majestic wave of spiritual force swept out. It went past Shaman God, Qing Chen, Corpse God, Ni Huang, Wang Si, Liu Song, and everyone else. "Hey old guys! It’s me, Kui Luo! I'm not dead, hahahaha!"

Everyone turned to look, and they gritted their teeth.

"Bai Teng, you’re the biggest Redback in the Perennial World!" the old man shouted.

Everyone grew sluggish.

Bai Teng was completely stunned. What?

"You’re Aeternus’s biggest Redback in the entire human race! Bai Teng, that’s what you are, so don't act stupid!" the old man shouted. He then turned to look at Wang Si. "Old woman Wang Si, you’re the one who killed the White Dragon Clan’s Elder Long Cunxin! No one else may know, but this old man does!"

Wang Si's expression fell, as this was true.

The old man then moved on to Xia Xing. "Shenwu's Sky, what are you doing? Your daughter is already pregnant with Long Qi’s seed, so why don't you help them out? Do you want your daughter to end up as a widow?"

Xia Xing nearly exploded, and he whirled around to stare at Xia Taili in disbelief.

Xia Taili’s cheeks turned red as she jumped up in a rage. "Old man, what bullshit are you spouting?"

The old man revealed an odd smile. "Up in the Dominion Realm, your brother was the one to kill Bai Shaohong, though it was with Long Qi. Bai Shaohong drugged you, and your brother found out about it, which started a death match between them. Long Qi showed up while they were fighting, and took advantage of the situation by sleeping with you. Afterwards, he worked together with your brother to kill Bai Shaohong. Your brother is still sitting in the Forgotten Ruins to cover everything up. Others might not know what happened there, but this old man does!

"Your child was conceived in Huaiyuan Gate. This old man saw everything. That’s why Long Qi requested for you to go to Huaiyuan Gate."

Xia Taili’s entire body was trembling, but she did not know what to say in response.

Bai Teng and others from the Celestial Frost Sect all glared at Xia Taili, murder in their eyes. This was not only because of her connection with Bai Shaohong's death, but also because her womb might hold the Lu family’s seed!

Lu Yin was shocked, and he stared at the old man in disbelief. It was no wonder why this person had been wanted by the entire Perennial World! He was willing to say anything, and even worse, he said everything with such conviction that people naturally believed his words. He had even managed to connect everything together so tightly; had he really come up with this story on the spot? That was a terrifying level of skill.

"You killed Shaohong?" Bai Teng roared as he glared at Xia Taili.

Xia Xing was also furious, and he glared back at Bai Teng. "Bai Shaohong dared to drug my daughter?"

"That’s ridiculous!" Bai Teng shouted back.

"Bai Teng, you're a Redback!" A powerhouse from Humility's Gate glared at Bai Teng.

Bai Teng was enraged at the accusation. "I'm not!"

"Wang Si, you killed Cunxin!" Long Ke shouted as he glared at Wang Si.

Wang Si frowned. "You overstep yourself!"

Dragon Mountain was instantly thrown into chaos. There were only a few Semi-Progenitors there, and each of them already had their own opponents. The old man had wanted to escape with Lu Yin, but the sourcebox array was not something that the old man could break through. However, they could buy themselves more time if everyone was suspicious of each other.

Lu Yin suddenly remembered something, and he took out Long Tian's Junior Progenitor token from his cosmic ring. "This is Long Tian's token. Can I use it to leave?"

Normally, the White Dragon Clan’s Junior Progenitor would be allowed to enter and leave Dragon Mountain however he wished. The token was also proof of one’s identity, and in many places, merely holding a token would allow one to freely enter or exit.

The old man grabbed the token and Lu Yin and raced away.

Far away, Ni Huang was stunned even while fighting against Corpse God. How was this possible? Very few people in the entire White Dragon Clan were able to freely enter and leave the sourcebox array.

As soon as they rushed out of the array, the old man commented in surprise, "Kid, you’ve got a lot of good things. This must be something that you picked up in the Dominion Realm."

"We’re almost free!" Lu Yin was excited, as he had finally left Dragon Mountain. "Run away!"

"If you want to escape, then you’ll need to leave the old man behind." Wang Si appeared, and she raised a hand. A black line appeared in the void, and it sealed the area surrounding both the old man and Lu Yin. This was one of the Wang family’s secret techniques: Confinement.

The old man threw Lu Yin away. "Kid, find a way to escape by yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he whirled around. For the first time, he gave off a cold and blood thirsty aura. "You old slut, you’re still so annoying."

"Kui Luo, you are courting death!" Wang Si struck down with a palm, and the old man was entirely cut off from the void and the world. It was as though a portion of the world had been severed by the palm.

Kui Luo grew solemn. “The Wang family spied and stole the Lu family’s visualization technique and merged it with your Forgotten Ruins. I’ve long since wanted to see this technique for myself. Bring it on, you old slut!"

There was a bang, and an incredible shockwave swept out in all directions. The void opened up like a parting curtain, and Lu Yin used the force to fly straight at the Cloud Shuttle. He knew that he would run into various obstacles along the way, but this was his only path to freedom. He needed to leave the Higher Realm and return to the Fifth Mainland, so he could only go this way.

Back at Dragon Mountain, Ni Huang's expression had changed. Wang Si had made a deal for him to allow her through the sourcebox array and intercept Kui Luo, but Dragon Mountain's sourcebox array had kept Liu Song trapped behind. No one else was able to chase after the two men who had fled, but naturally, the White Dragon had sent out other people to give chase.action

As the two Semi-Progenitors fought, Lu Yin raced towards the Cloud Shuttle. However, before long, he heard a familiar voice, "Nice armor. Why don’t you stop."

It was the White Dragon Clan’s elder who had chased after Lu Yin before. He was a powerhouse who had survived several tribulations.

Lu Yin turned around to see the elder, and he saw the killing intent and cruel glint in the older man’s eyes. Lu Yin coldly declared, “I'm Long Qi, and yet you all really want to kill me."

The elder just sneered. "Back at Dragon Mountain, no one could take you down, but even here, you’re still putting on such an act even when you’re about to be killed by this old man. You’re the Lu family’s trash!"

Lu Yin abruptly stopped. His head turned around to look back at the elder, and Lu Yin’s expression had completely changed. "Old man, you’re asking to die."

Right after that, Lu Yin took out the puppet that he had taken from Xia Shenfei, and he also put on his universal armor while attacking the elder with a hand.

The elder laughed from anger. "You want to challenge this old man with external items? Your thoughts are too simple."

With that, his body suddenly changed as he used the White Dragon Transformation. A terrifying energy shot up into the sky as the old man lifted a hand, causing his spear to appear. He stabbed the spear forward, tearing through the void. His weapon was unimaginably sharp, and it was wrapped about with a terrifying power. Just a glance at it would frighten anyone.

Lu Yin grabbed the spear shaft with a single hand. The force behind the spear knocked him back and drove him into the ground. The remaining power of the attack could destroy a small town. The elder had wanted to kill Lu Yin with a single attack, but Lu Yin had Enhanced the puppet that he had taken from Xia Shenfei, and it was now capable of withstanding attacks of a power level of almost 800,000, which was the same as an Envoy who had survived four tribulations. While the puppet’s defenses could not compare to the Cloudguard Robes’, there was one aspect where the Cloudguard Robes could not equal the puppet: the puppet could also attack.

Lu Yin had been smashed into the ground by the spear, but when he lifted a hand, the puppet’s arm moved in the exact same manner as Lu Yin’s. Lu Yin’s arm stretched forward, and the puppet punched the elder, destroying half of his body. Even though the elder was at the cusp of his fourth tribulation, both his attacks and defense were a bit worse than the puppet’s, and the punch had been a direct hit.

The elder was no longer even able to hold his spear, so he fell back. Lu Yin leaped forward to press the attack, but the elder was no corpse king, and he had no intentions of recklessly fighting. The old man instantly fled.

Lu Yin remained standing where he was, gasping for breath. Off in the distance, the elder reappeared. Blood poured out of half of his body, and he looked terrible. He glared at Lu Yin in an unwilling manner. “Bastard of the Lu family, this old man will make sure that you die without a burial!"

Lu Yin carefully stared at the elder for a moment before turning around and continuing making his way towards the Cloud Shuttle.

However, he did not make it very far before another Envoy appeared from a city up ahead, clearly intending to intercept him. Lu Yin gritted his teeth, took out the sourcebox array that held the Void Rip technique, and released the final attack stored within it without any hesitation. The Envoy’s head was cleanly sliced off.

The head fell down to the city, and untold numbers of residents froze at the sight. They watched in a daze as Lu Yin continued making his way to the east.

Behind him, the elders from the White Dragon Clan were able to recognize the Void Rip. Even further away, the other people from the four ruling powers were also observing Lu Yin, and they also recognized the Void Rip.

"The Junior Progenitor really was killed by that survivor of the Lu family! We must get revenge."

"Hey, he can't escape! The sect master has already ordered that everyone in the Higher Realm from the Celestial Frost Sect should try to capture him. The Wang family has done the same, and not even the White Dragon clan will allow him to escape."

"Lu brat! Let’s see how far you can run! Hahahaha!" Someone laughed, and although the voice entered Lu Yin's ears, he simply gritted his teeth and continued flying towards the Cloud Shuttle without even turning his head around.

Right after that, many people appeared. All of them had received orders from the Celestial Frost Sect to capture Lu Yin, but Lu Yin had just instantly killed an Envoy. Thus, no one was willing to rashly attack him. Also, the White Dragon Clan’s elder’s terrible condition caused them to be even warier. These people did not dare to do anything besides chase after Lu Yin and mock him. None of them dared to move against him.

"Lu bastard, this is the Higher Realm! Where can you escape to?"

"Lu bastard! Do you remember the All-Dao family? You son of a bitch, many women from that family are now slaves—one batch after another! Those women are living horrible lives, so why don’t you come save them?"

"Lu bastard! Even at the beginning, everyone who followed your family defected. If you’re capable enough, why don’t you clean up house?"

"Lu bastard…"

…

Lu Yin gritted his teeth. He heard everything that was said, and he burned every word into his memory. He did not have to listen, but he felt that he needed to. Lu Yin was not a merciful person, and he remembered the faces of everyone who spoke. They could keep talking; everything here would eventually be repaid.

Aaaah! There was a scream, and Lu Yin turned around to look, but all he saw was that someone’s arm had been cut off. There was no sign of where the attack had come from.

Everyone nearby was startled, and they quickly started searching for who might have attacked, but they could not find anyone.

Lu Yin had kept his domain active at all times, and so he was able to vaguely see a patch of ground at the base of some mountains. There was an old farmer bent over in that place, and he was facing Lu Yin. Not only was the farmer bent over to tend the field, but he was also bowing to Lu Yin, to the Lu family.

"Lu bastard, you-" Someone else spoke up, only to be attacked from numerous directions.

There were many people who hated the Lu family, but there were also just as many who wished to support the Lu family.

Lu Yin had lost his memory, so he did not know what the Lu family had done for the Perennial World. However, the Lu family’s former retainers and vassals still had powerhouses among them, and they would rather die than allow the Lu family to be disrespected. This led Lu Yin to believe that the Lu family had been quite different from the four ruling powers that had replaced them.

"Leave this Lu bastard to this old man!" A loud voice echoed through the void, and an old man emerged. He was someone from the Celestial Frost Sect, and his eyes swept past Lu Yin, across the ground, until it reached the old farmer in the distance. “Hmph! So there are still some survivors among the Lu family’s retainers. You bastard, this old man will show you how all those who survived will die!"

Lu Yin clenched his hand into a fist and rushed at the old man. "Come at me if you have an issue!"

The old man sneered. "Are you even worthy?"

This man had passed four stellular tribulations, and he was much more powerful than the White Dragon Clan’s elder that Lu Yin had faced earlier. In fact, the Envoy suddenly attacked with Cloud Fall, which startled everyone.

"Fall for this old man!" he ordered as he pressed a hand down.
